Chapter 117: No Incineration
When Chen Jun heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but scoff, the manifestation, isn't it like Wang Banxian, using people's psychology of worshiping ghosts and gods, and staging some tricks to confuse people, so as to win people's appreciation and recognition, so as to achieve the effect of obtaining various returns.
After the man finished speaking, he didn't have the heart to ask Chen Jun the purpose of their group here, so he hurriedly strode away, following those who were watching the excitement.
Sister-in-law Zhu was curious about what the man whispered to Chen Jun just now, so she took a step forward and asked, "Xiaojun, what did that person tell you just now." ”
"Poof, he said that He Xiangu has appeared, let's go, let's go and join in the fun." Chen Jun smiled forcefully, looked at Xiaoxi and Liu Jing, and sister-in-law Zhu said,
Manifestation, what kind of spirit, Sister-in-law Zhu wondered, saying that on the fasting day, He Xiangu's house was quite lively, she didn't fall once, she got up early in the morning, she had to help or something,
There are more people who believe in ghosts and gods in the countryside, He Xiangu came back from the temple, plus she knows some Buddhist etiquette, and she can draw talismans to drive away ghosts or something, which is even more popular, but whenever it is a fasting day, she will spontaneously come to her house and bring vegetarian items, such as vegetables are one of the essential vegetarian accessories.
So every time on that kind of fasting day, He Xiangu's house is like a market, and it is very lively, and the good men and women will come to worship the mud bodhisattva she worships or something, and they will eat fast at He Xiangu's house at noon, and if they don't come to help or bring items, they have to pay three or five yuan for fasting.
At this time, Sister-in-law Zhu heard that He Xiangu's house was lively, so she secretly guessed that it might be He Xiangu who did good deeds again and helped people catch ghosts.
Hejiazhuang saw thick smoke from a distance, and the closer he got closer, he saw more people, running towards the position where the smoke was billowing out.
Chen Jun looked at these people who were running with their legs in their hands, and they didn't have any fire-fighting household items in their hands, and they all ran past them with abnormal expressions.
"Is it a flood, (fire)?"
When Chen Jun and the others approached Hejiazhuang Village, they found that there were many people standing at the entrance of the village, some of them had white cloths wrapped around their heads, and some wore black veils on their arms.
Chen Jun originally wanted to inquire about the situation here, but Sister-in-law Zhu said, "It's okay, I'm familiar here, you just come with me." ”
Since Sister-in-law Zhu said that she was very familiar with the situation here, Chen Jun didn't bother to inquire about it, so she followed Sister-in-law Zhu and entered a path covered by a bamboo forest.
The trail is shrouded in the shadow of the moso bamboo forest, and the feet are stepping on the road full of moso bamboo leaves, sticky and sticky, and there are a lot of bamboo leaves stuck to the soles of the feet.
People have not walked to the courtyard dam at the end of the trail, a unique smell of incense and candles, entrained by the smell of wood after burning, sister-in-law Zhu pointed, saying that the front is He Xiangu's home, and said that there are still a few steps away,
Turning a lazy corner while speaking, a huge soaphorn tree was on the right hand side, bypassing the soaphorn tree, Chen Jun and they saw a big white flower tied to the courtyard dam door,
Looking inside, the spacious courtyard was filled with incense and candles, and a group of people with solemn faces sat around a pile of timber, and their mouths were silently muttering something.
The erected wood has been burned to charcoal black, and the people lying on the wood are unscathed, and the people sitting around them look frightened, and they are all temporarily chanting, and He Xiangu took back the various scriptures from the temple, as if he was overpowering,
Sister-in-law Zhu looked at all this in front of her in confusion, she knew that He Xiangu lived alone, next door was her brother's house, and the brothers and sisters were next to each other, and they also wanted to take care of them in the future.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jun and the others looked at each other, all watching Sister-in-law Zhu's play, because she often came here, in addition to He Xiangu, there should be acquaintances.
Chen Jun and a few of them probed their brains at the gate of the courtyard dam, which naturally attracted the attention of others, and an older man came over, looked at Sister-in-law Zhu and greeted: "Sister Zhu, you are here." ”
"Hey, old man, may I ask what is this ......?"
"Alas, the fairy girl is gone, and she is not at ease, look at this whole thing."
The old man's words undoubtedly gave Chen Jun a blow to them, when did this happen, Qiangzi came last night......
"No, one of us came to find He Xiangu last night, what's the matter." Sister-in-law Zhu may have been a little scared, glanced at the body on the charcoal black, and stammered and didn't know what to say.
"Well, I don't know about this, I'll call you Boss He."
The old man turned around and entered the courtyard, and Chen Jun hurriedly asked Sister-in-law Zhu what was going on.
Xiaoxi and Liu Jing both felt that this matter was a little evil, and when the strong son came last night, did He Xiangu already leave?
Just as they were speculating, an old man with a thin face and a calm spirit came out of the courtyard.
Sister-in-law Zhu recognized this person, he was He Xiangu's eldest brother, "Brother He, we are here to ......" Sister-in-law Zhu didn't dare to say any more, there is also this taboo in the countryside, if the people who leave, there are still people looking for it without knowing it, then it is conceivable, it is not to scare you, it is said; If you don't die, you will shed your skin,
"Alas, a man came last night, and he happened to bump into my sister-in-law, isn't it with you." Boss He sighed in his sunken eyes, flashed with concern,
When Chen Jun and the others heard this, they immediately understood that the strong man had bumped into an evil thing last night, and he was afraid (to the dead), so he took a shortcut in a panic and took a shortcut to cross the road from the steep slope and rush under their wheels.
A simple and simple voice came from behind Boss He, "Dad, what's the matter." Xiaoxi recognized this person at a glance, it was the man who gave them iron sand last night,
"It's okay, I'm looking for your aunt." Boss He said to his son behind him with a sad look on his face,
He Xiangu is gone, and Qiangzi has suffered a catastrophe, which ...... Chen Jun, Xiaoxi, Sister-in-law Zhu, and Liu Jing were all heavy in their hearts, and they felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
Sister-in-law Zhu was so frightened that her face had already changed color, she approached Liu Jing and whispered to go,
Chen Jun stared at the charcoal-black wooden frame, and Boss He said to himself: "My sister is unwilling, she has too many things on her mind, and she has explained to us, but she still doesn't worry, you see that a lot of wood has been burned, but her body is still like that." ”
Chen Jun seemed to be absent-minded, He Laohan's words did not attract his attention, but He Xiangu's sudden death, he felt that there was a problem,
Liu Jing comforted Sister-in-law Zhu softly, her eyes were withdrawn from the charcoal black wooden frame, and she suddenly said: "Maybe the fire is not enough, you should hurry up and send it to the crematorium, it is not good for the dead to delay for a long time, and it is also very bad for the living." ”
