Chapter 240: Getting Married
In many TV dramas or novels, there is one thing described before a person dies or when he is buried, and that is a crow.
The crow, also known as the funeral bird, is a very inauspicious animal, and it is considered to bring great bad luck to any roof or tree in the yard. Some people also believe that they are psychic animals, and they are the spokespeople of that world to transmit signals to this world.
In fact, this muntjac is equivalent to the role of this endorsement in our village, as long as it screams every time, it will be a quasi-dead person. Whether it's a coincidence, or if it's really like that, in short, this kind of thing that may cause trouble for oneself is generally something that older people can't avoid, let alone take its life and eat its flesh.
The strangeness of this muntjac, my Abba also mentioned it to Cha Wenbin, he didn't pay so much attention to it, and now it seems that it is really not so simple.
Before a person dies, most of the yin cha is already waiting on the side, just waiting for the moment when he dies and then takes the person away. So how does Yin Biao grasp the time limit of life and death of each person, and accurately appear to take people away?
In addition to the fate of your yang life, that is, what is written in the book of life and death, there is also the establishment of this kind of thing similar to that of an intelligence agency. This muntjac is their informant, and as soon as it screams, it knows that someone is going to die in this land.
This kind of thing, some old people immediately nodded their heads to express their conviction after hearing this, but even Cha Wenbin himself couldn't say anything about this thing. First, animal psychic is a thing that sees less and hears more; Second, this thorn is indeed the end of his longevity, and he has to die, and he should die here, because the business he usually does is indeed a job to reduce his life.
Those who make money from dead people either have the eight characters on their bodies that are really hard enough, or they are protected by the ancestor and have something to cover in their hands. Otherwise, either they will be buried in a pit and never get out, or their brothers will kill each other, and most of the rest who can come out will also contract some strange diseases or die.
Looking back on this industry, although you can get rich overnight, how many people can really spend this money with peace of mind?
The death of the thorn head was finally defined as suicide, not because Cha Wenbin was unwilling to make a move, but because his soul had been exhausted, he had done too many sins in his life, and he didn't want to settle down after death. Some people have done all the bad things in their lives, but there will still be a place to settle this account for him after death.
Even if his wife was 10,000 unwilling, it couldn't withstand the disgust of the whole village, and the body was transported home with the help of a few well-wishers, and the matter was temporarily over.
After a busy morning, Cha Wenbin saw that the hour had come, and almost lit firecrackers, and the suona gongs and drums spontaneously formed in the village were called noisy.
The two coffins were carried to the ancestral grave of Chen Fang's family, one after the other.
Chen Fang found acupuncture points for himself before his death, and this land is also the ancestral grave of their family. In the end, it was a down-and-out family, and a few bare mounds of earth had long been overgrown with thatch, except for desolation or desolation.
The people in charge of digging the pit have already dug the pit in advance, and this burial of the underworld marriage is another science.
Cha Wenbin saw that the pit was mostly loess, and the soil was rarely mixed with hard stones, and it was not like a rainstorm that could form a stream around the area, although the old tombs were a little desolate, but they were still quite solid, and there was no pest and ant disaster.
Looking at this feng shui again, the terrain of this land is still relatively open, there are patches of forests behind it, and there are roads and rivers further ahead, although it is not a good hole, it is not easy for ordinary people to find such a place.
Cha Wenbin nodded with satisfaction, then took out a thick layer of yellow paper from the bag and spread a whole layer on the bottom of the pit. Then take out seven copper coins and press them on the yellow paper according to the arrangement of the seven stars, which is called the seven-star line!
After getting it done, he asked Chaozi to take a pot of spirits, sprinkle it on the yellow paper, and then light the fire fold and throw it into the pit, "boom", the bottom of the whole pit was connected into a sea of fire, the flames jumped high, and the seven copper coins were immediately burned red.
This is commonly known as "warm resistance", so we, in order to avoid offending others with some words, also call the grave "kang". This warmed kang is to keep the newcomers from being cold, although they have no descendants, but it will also make the auspicious qi in this tomb come faster.
After Cha Wenbin gave the order, Chen Fang's coffin was put in first, and then symbolically sprinkled a few handfuls of loess inside, and then ordered someone to carry Fluttershy's coffin around Chen Fang's ancestral tomb three times.
Fluttershy's coffin was placed in front of the Chen family's ancestral grave, and Cha Wenbin took out three sticks of incense and inserted them on the head of Fluttershy's coffin, then lit them, and quietly walked to the side, and began to mutter, which roughly means that this is your Chen family's daughter-in-law, who is here to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors today, and hopes that your spirit in heaven can accommodate this new member of the family.
Those three sticks of incense actually mean that Fluttershy gave them to the ancestors of the Chen family, which is also called confession, and this will be your home from now on.
Cha Wenbin then walked to a grave bag and grabbed a handful of loess on top, then took it back and wrapped it in a red cloth and put it aside, this thing is to be put together with Fluttershy's bones, which is a gift from their Chen family to Fluttershy, and with this relationship, Fluttershy is the real daughter-in-law of the Chen family.
Next, the heaviest moment is coming, that is, washing bones and collecting gold.
Bone washing, as the name suggests, is to remove dirt from the bones, and collecting gold is to remove the bones from the coffin. Although it is a secret marriage, but when you get married, you have to let people sleep on a "kang".
Before the coffin is opened, Fluttershy's coffin is ready for shade, and it is impossible to see the light of day if the coffin is opened after the person dies. Removing the rivets, several people worked together to break open the heavy coffin board, and only the white bones wrapped in a weathered light blue cheongsam were left, which made people sigh.
The ground was covered with palms, and after Cha Wenbin gently ripped off the pieces of clothes that stuck to the bones of Fluttershy, he slowly put them on top of the palm, and when he reached the position of the abdomen, experienced people could no longer help but cry loudly.
After the bones were cleaned out, Cha Wenbin brought the funeral gestures and the bundle of red clay palms to the coffin.
The next thing to do is to open the coffin, his coffin rivets are not nailed, brush off the loess on it, and soon his coffin is opened.
The moment Chen Fang's face appeared, everyone was surprised, this person who had not seen him for decades, even had a faint smile on his face after his death, and that kind of smile made people feel that it came from the depths of their hearts.
Cha Wenbin put all the bones of Fluttershy on Chen Fang's chest, then let his hands hold his beloved woman, slowly let the coffin close, and said, "From now on, you will be a real husband and wife." ”
The secret marriage is finally over, a marriage contract that spans time, yin and yang, but after sticking to the agreement for decades, it is still so realized.
That night, I dreamed of the rain again, only this time there was one more person by her side, Chen Fang, who I usually called a madman, Fluttershy and Chen Fang stood behind her, and she waved goodbye to me vigorously.
Perhaps, she is saying goodbye to a "playmate", or perhaps, she is saying goodbye to the whole world.
Since then, I have been able to see some strange things that ordinary people can't see, such as the year when my grandfather died, that is, the following year, Cha Wenbin took me back.
This is another story that appears in Fanwai's "Bridge".
It may be that we really don't have that fate, I don't seem to be naturally interested in the kind of things he learned, except for the worship of his sword and the cute tadpole, the rest of the contact is still too early for me.
As for Cha Wenbin, after a summer of patient and disappointed teaching, he finally sent me back to my hometown, and then I didn't hear from him for a long time, he always disappeared so suddenly for a long time, and suddenly appeared, no one knew what he was doing, and his brothers disappeared with him.
