Chapter 4: The Whole Village Dies
At that morning, before the first rooster crowed, most people were already up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info: Sleep can only be temporary, and you don't feel hungry. In the end, I still have to wake up hungry.
The people in the village got up early and ran all over the village looking for food! But even the land has been tripled, the trunks of the trees are bald, and there is still food left.
The village was lifeless, but it was a bit noisy that day. Because Li Guangcai, the secretary of the brigade, hanged himself.
The family was dead, and when other cadres went to his house early in the morning, they shouted that they should not go in, and found that Li Guangcai had been hanged on the beam of his house with a hemp rope. On the side is Li Guangcai's wife, who also died.
The reason for his death is that people in the village have different opinions, and some say that Li Guangcai was greedy for too much food from the country and was discovered, so he committed suicide in fear of crime. I don't believe it, where is there food to be greedy for?
Some people say that a few days ago, Li Guangcai asked his wife to take their two children to join his cousin in Shandong. Along the way, the mother and son were hungry, and when they passed a place, they saw a handful of cotton seeds sprinkled on the side of the road.
Li Guangcai's wife and children twisted them one by one, crushed them with stones and drank them, but the cottonseeds were sprinkled with pesticides, and the three of them drank them one by one, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness and stomachache. Because the mother loved the child, the mother drank less, and let the two children drink. At that time, the mother took the two children to the ditch and poured a few mouthfuls of sewage into each of them. Spit out the cottonseeds in your belly.
But the child was already weak, and he drank more. Li Guangcai's wife survived this toss, and the two children never came back.
Li Guangcai's wife came home in the middle of the night yesterday to find Li Guangcai, Li Guangcai asked her what was wrong, the woman was just crying sullenly, Li Guangcai asked, what about the child. The woman finished talking about it intermittently, and Li Guangcai was stunned. Hit the woman with a head and face.
The woman blamed herself, Li Guangcai beat and scolded, and hit her head against the wall and died. By the time Li Guangcai reflected, it was too late. A family of four, the bones of two children are unknown, and his wife was killed in front of him. Li Guangcai had no idea of living at that time, so he found a piece of Massachusetts in the courtyard, tied it to a beam, and hanged himself.
I heard this happen to my elderly mother. At that time, at the door of Li Guangcai's house, Li Guangcai's seventy-year-old mother sat at the door of the house and cried a few times, and her tears were dry, which was very pitiful. There is no saddest thing in the world than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.
The crowd gathered around the door of Li Guangcai's house, and someone said to the old lady, carry it to the ditch in the south of the village. When the old lady heard this, she panicked, knelt helplessly in front of a group of people, saying that she didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to lie in that kind of place after they died.
It's all a person from a village, and the experience of a desperate household, who sees it and doesn't move a little compassion. Someone said, "Aunt Li, we all know that you want to get a coffin board for your son and bury him decently!" But let's not talk about whether the people in our village can still hold the shovels for digging graves, but where can we get the coffin board! ”
Hearing this, the old lady cried even harder, it was already summer, and this person would stink after a few days of death at home. A group of people wanted to carry Li Guangcai away and throw him away, but the old lady didn't agree.
There's no way around it now, after all, it's not your own business, who can still scramble to do it, in the past two years, there have been more deaths.
No one noticed that at the back of the crowd, a broken old man was pushing a bicycle with a big bar and squinting and standing lazily.
Originally, my master was thinking that he would solve this matter in private. The old lady was not allowed to enter the door. Alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
"Make way for the old man, the old man's body is so bony that he can't squeeze it!" When a group of people heard this voice, they wondered and followed the voice.
Good guys, isn't this the old man who sold sesame oil yesterday. Someone had sharp eyes and recognized the master at once. Someone's eyes lit up.
"Go, go, the old man's little oil has already been scraped clean by you, do you want to rub off the two gray lumps!" The master understood, rubbed his body and scolded the man.
A group of people burst into laughter, because of the master's oil distribution yesterday, the people in the village had a good attitude towards the master. Gave way to Master at the moment.
The master squatted down in front of the old lady, took out a cigarette stick and lit it with a foreign fire, and looked at the corpses of Li Guangcai and his wife in the inner room.
"Old sister-in-law, I can understand the pain of losing a child in old age. Mourning, but it's not good for this dead man to stay at home all the time. It's a big summer. I don't want my son to die and can't go into the ground, right? The master took a puff of cigarette and comforted the old lady softly.
When the old lady heard this, she barely stopped crying, but she still couldn't speak when she sobbed.
"That's it, I'll help you bury your son, and make sure your son Lili Suo goes down there!"
Master took the cigarette stick and tapped it on his leg and said. The old lady was about to kneel down for the master, but the master hurriedly held it down.
Someone in the crowd asked, "Old man, how can this one be buried without a coffin and two without a soul!" ”
The master was also embarrassed, the spiritual position is easy to handle, but the coffin and the trees that have been formed are not very common, let alone the coffin.
When she was in distress, the old lady held the master's hand, and wanted to say something, but her voice was already crying hoarsely, but she just pointed at herself and kept making ahhh
Someone understood, and said in a serious voice, "Aunt Li, you are an old house prepared for yourself!" It's for your son and daughter-in-law, and you can catch up...... I don't know when it's a head! ”
The old lady pursed her mouth and moved her throat a few times before she said indistinctly, "That's all left...... My wife is herself, and she is still ...... Whatever......"
Everyone fell silent. Yes, when is it a day with today and no tomorrow?
No one said anything more about the coffin, and the matter was settled. But someone asked again, there must be a knowledgeable gentleman (Taoist priest, in some places it is called Zhike or Zhenren, we will call it Mr.).
The master laughed, "Since you called my old man, then this gentleman will let the old man do it!" ”
Rural people have never been deferential to Mr. Looking at Master's age, it's like that. At that moment, everyone was truly respectful to the Master.
Master said that since it is a burial, there should be no less steps. But this year, other drinks are free. Old man, I still have a gourd of sesame oil here, and tomorrow I will go to the house to get some residue left over from oil extraction and get some wild vegetables. A pot of soup is indispensable. I can't work without the strength to do it.
Wow, as soon as Master said this, everyone present went crazy. A swarm of people gathered around, and someone cautiously said, "Old man, this is true!" ”
Master's two words are like the American atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. The lethality is not ordinarily large.
Master wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "The old man dares to give you sesame oil, he can talk empty!" ”
Everyone thought about it, and at the moment, they blushed and shouted, "Count me in, count me in!" ”
Of course, Master agrees that this funeral must be done! The more young men there are, the better. Master knew in his heart that what he wanted to borrow was popularity to suppress Li Guangcai's soul that had changed his taste.
The master had a straight face and said to everyone, "If you don't take the funeral twice, everyone understands it!" The old man made it clear first, after taking over this funeral, first of all, no matter what, he can't say goodbye! Second, women and children are not allowed to come near this house for three days from tomorrow! Third, the people who took over the funeral, all the food and accommodation in the past few days are at the door of Li Guangcai's house, and the old man is half full! If you have any comments, you can withdraw now.
Three days, half full, a group of people like listening to a book from heaven, where would they think about anything else. nodded one after another, and immediately someone went home to hug the quilt As for the old lady, if it wasn't for my master's support, I would have knocked back a few times.
Later, I asked the master if there was a zodiac taboo in funerals, and the master smiled and said that the zodiac was taboo because of the fear of committing a crime. For example, the water meridian horse, the rat is the water, and the horse is the fire. Fire and water clash with each other. If it is a normal death, it is afraid that the deceased will not be happy below, so it is important not to let the person who is in opposition to him be present, and everything is to send the deceased away with peace of mind. But Li Guangcai couldn't do it. Before he died, he already had a grudge in his heart, plus he was hanged. I can't get out in one breath, and I can't go up. Within three days after death, he will turn into a terrible ghost.
I asked Master, what happens when you turn into a ghost? Master squinted at me, "The people in your village are dead!" Otherwise, his resentment will never go away! ”
