That winter, Guo Lin was just a 7-year-old child. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Once, Guo Lin followed his father to drive the sheep and herd them in the wilderness.

A family in a neighboring village happened to be holding a funeral that day.

At that time, funerals in the countryside were a very lively event.

The firecrackers that were constantly being set off crackled, the suona team blew and beat along the way, and the old ladies in the families of the deceased also cried all the way to the sky, and the sound could be heard from miles away.

Many nearby farming busyes ended, and the idle and bored villagers also watched the excitement with the funeral procession.

Guo Lin's father put the sheep into a big ditch, and took Guo Lin over with him, just in time for the people to prepare to bury the coffin in the ground.

It was a cold northwest wind that day, and the surrounding area was still full of onlookers and villagers.

At that time, gambling had not yet risen, and when a family held a red and white wedding in the countryside, people from a village would enthusiastically go to help.

I saw eight or nine strong laborers, sweating profusely, carrying a heavy-looking red lacquered coffin, ready to slowly put it into the tomb built with red bricks.

Generally, the size of the burial chamber is not much larger than that of a coffin.

At this time, a strange scene happened.

The group of men carried the coffin vigorously and set it up, trying to slowly lower the coffin into the burial chamber.

But the coffin was under some inexplicable force, and it began to twist left and right, and it couldn't be put down.

At first, everyone didn't think about it, so the men put the coffin on the mound next to it to rest.

Then there is the sound of suona gongs and drums, and the yellow paper is flying with smoke.

A large group of family members of the deceased wailed again and again, and were full of grief, hoping that the deceased would go to the Western Elysium as soon as possible, and stop worrying about the blessings and misfortunes of their descendants.

After a while, amid the roar of one of the deceased's heirs, the coffin was lifted again and lowered towards the burial chamber.

The same thing happened again, when the coffin was carried down by the crowd, either on the bricks of the tomb or on the wall of the tomb.

Some of the old people who were watching saw this situation, and their faces immediately changed.

It is very rare to not be able to fall into the coffin for the first time, but it can still be said that the past may be the deceased, the three souls and seven spirits have not completely dispersed, and there is still some reason for the reluctance to give up on the Yang world.

And the second time it can't go down, then the problem is serious, it must be before death, before death, there was a great resentment in the heart, and that resentment is still in the remnants of the deceased after death, so there will be this kind of resentment that does not disperse, and does not want to go into the ground for peace.

Suddenly, the scene became a little strangely quiet, the suona team stopped, and the family members of the deceased who were still crying just now also stopped, and the whistling north wind rolled up the ashes of the yellow paper burning and swept by.

Some old people who understood something quietly pulled their relatives and retreated from the crowd of onlookers.

The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and the strong men carrying the coffin put the coffin aside again weakly, waiting for the arrangement of the main family.

I saw that among the family members of the deceased, a man in his forties, who should be in charge, walked out and shouted to the onlookers with an ugly face: Folks, come and help the old man, let the old man be buried in the ground.

There are always many honest people in the countryside, although there must be something abnormal in the situation just now, but there are still some villagers who walked from the crowd to the coffin.

Guo Lin saw that his father was also going over to help, so he hurriedly hugged his father's thighs tightly.

Because just now he saw two withered arms suddenly stretched out from the coffin, holding the edge of the tomb, so the coffin could not be put down.

No one noticed that Guo Lin, who was staring at Guo Lin with his eyes wide open and mouth open just now, had a strange expression.

Guo Lin, who was frightened and speechless, hugged his father's thighs tightly, and his father thought that he was blown too cold by the wind, so he would hold his thighs to keep warm.

Looking around, Guo Lin, who was trembling slightly, was very strange and scared in his young heart, why did he only see the arm in the coffin? Is that a ghost that the old people in the village often say?

When he saw that his father was going to go over to help, he hurriedly hugged his thigh and didn't let him go, but made his father glare at him very unhappily.

It was this time that Dad missed the opportunity to go up and help.

With the addition of several villagers, everyone lifted the red lacquer coffin again, and the family members of the deceased were also next to the coffin, and they pressed down hard to help everyone, and finally put the coffin down.

The onlookers also slowly dispersed in the chorus of suona gongs and drums, and the coffin entered the tomb, and there was nothing to look at.

Back in the big ditch where the sheep were, Guo Lin and his father couldn't help but teach Guo Lin a lesson: What did you pull me just now? Folks, give someone a hand, what a small thing, you kid will be like this in the future, I will beat you.

Recalling the scene just now, Guo Lin, who was still palpitating, said to his father aggrievedly: I saw two hands stretched out from the coffin just now, so I didn't let you go, I'm afraid that you will be hurt by dirty things.

Don't talk nonsense, you kid, why didn't I see that there were two hands, so why didn't the other folks see it? I think you're letting the wind blow your eyes and look confused. Be a good person, and you must do more good deeds in the future, and there will be good rewards.

Hearing that his father was another truth in life, Guo Lin didn't want to say anything more, but he knew that he wasn't confused just now, he really saw two pairs of withered arms sticking out of the coffin.

The story is not over yet, Guo Lin hugged his father's thigh tightly at that time, which can be regarded as saving his father.

Later, the family that held the funeral, the children of the deceased, died inexplicably one after another.

Then it is said that the people who went to help that day also had a strange illness, and it took a long time to be cured.

In the nearby villages, a story began to circulate.

said that the old man who died, who had endured hardships all his life, finally brought up all 6 children and arranged for them to start a family.

But when the old man gradually couldn't do anything, the children were unwilling to support the old man because they felt that the old man was biased, towards this and that.

Not to mention that they don't want to support, after the old man was seriously ill and was sent to the hospital by the well-wishers in the village, these ruthless sons and daughters fought several times in front of the old man's hospital bed because of the medical expenses.

Finally, when the nurse walked away, several children discussed it like a wolf and quietly unplugged the old man's oxygen tube.

When the nurse came to check again, the old man had already lost his breath, and when the old man died, his cloudy eyes were so big that he could never look away.

And these unfilial sons and daughters, at the funeral of the elderly, made a big fuss, so lively, wanting outsiders to feel that they were full of filial piety.

That's why there was a coffin that couldn't go to the grave that day, and later those accidents, the villagers said that the old man's resentful spirit came back to take revenge.

The light of the day had already brightened, and the warm light of the rising sun shone on the world again.

Thinking back on that incident now, Guo Lin finally understands why at that time, only he saw the arm stretched out from the coffin.

But what strange things are hidden in this piece of jade that the mother left to herself before she died?

The buzzing sound of the old mobile phone reminded Guo Lin that it was time to get up, wash his face and brush his teeth, and prepare to go to the classroom for early self-study.

The things that the girl told Guo Lin at night have been lingering in Guo Lin's mind, and he has been wondering whether to go to the cemetery to find her at night all the way?

But when he thought of going to the cemetery alone in the middle of the night, he felt his legs tremble slightly.
