The two hundred and fifty-seventh episode, Uncle Ghost came to drink the funeral wine

Yu Xiao calmly listened to the scratching sound outside the wall, which lasted for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't take a deep breath until it was completely gone.

Then, suddenly, there was silence again.

Now the time on the watch is past three o'clock in the morning, Yu Xiao retracted his mind and gradually fell asleep.

As soon as the morning dawned, after Yu Xiao got up, he put the money sword in his backpack first, quickly walked out of the house with it, closed the door and left quickly.

The strange sound of scratching the door last night, Yu Xiao was a little suspicious, even if there was no sound when walking, it didn't seem like a big living person could do it.

But I can only leave it behind, and I have no intention of continuing to think about it. After all, there are still things to deal with at the moment, and I can't control other strange things for the time being.

As soon as he arrived at the pool of the master's house, after Yu Xiao washed his hands, he saw a figure walking in outside the gate of the courtyard.

"Uncle Ghost!" As soon as he shouted, Yu Xiao suddenly had a smile on his face.

I saw that this was the ghost uncle who went to Wujiang with Master Cai and asked the corpse collector to go down to the river to retrieve the corpse.

"How did you get here?" Also with some surprise, Uncle Ghost came over.

"I'm here to do something, why are you here Uncle Ghost?" As he spoke, Yu Xiao approached Uncle Ghost and asked questions.

As for the reason, I didn't want to say it out loud here, so I had to hide it first, and then tell it when I found a quiet room.

"As soon as I heard that he had passed away, I rushed over today to pay my respects, this partner." After explaining, Uncle Ghost walked into the hall.

First he hung up the gift book, and then looked at the old man and the deceased lying on the wooden board, and his face showed some sadness. Uncle Ghost took the three sticks of incense from the master's hand, and after worshipping them, he was invited to the table outside.

At this time, it was about to have breakfast, so the host arranged for someone to prepare the dinner table. Just because relatives and friends who have a deep relationship with their family will arrive today, they will prepare meals to entertain them.

"You sit down first, it's been hard all the way." The host said politely, and when he saw the action of Uncle Ghost worshipping just now, he knew that he was not caring about his old man.

"It's okay, the master's house will go and get busy first!" Uncle Ghost also replied politely.

Then let Yu Xiao sit on the opposite side, and the two quickly chatted.

For this ghost uncle, although he is over thirty-five years old, he is still as bold as a young man. When he came home alone that night, it was raining heavily in the skyspace, and he still rushed home with the body salvaged from the river.

Yu Xiao was in awe, and when he looked at Uncle Ghost's face, there seemed to be a sense of intimacy. Although he has a serious face on his face, he is also very active in talking.

"Master Cai, is he okay?" asked a question, Uncle Ghost mentioned Master Cai.

At that time, I saw Master Cai show his skills at home, and I knew that he was a Maoshan Taoist. But he's older, but he's quite agile.

"Master Cai is fine, he has been recuperating at home recently." After Yu Xiao finished speaking with a smile, he saw that someone brought the food, so he immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Uncle Ghost was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and ate them. When I arrived early in the morning, my stomach was already hungry, so I haven't spoken yet, so I'll fill my stomach first.

Soon after the meal, Yu Xiao followed Uncle Ghost into the house and drank a cup of tea each. The host's family didn't come to greet him at this time, because tomorrow is the main banquet at home, and now other things have to be arranged.

The two stewards who were invited, one presided over the affairs of the house, and the other was discussing with the host's family about the wreaths and the funeral.

Just because the old man here passed away, the host's family will invite two managers, one is in charge of the family's banquet arrangements, and the other is in charge of the funeral outside, and some funeral goods are prepared.

Yu Xiao chatted with Uncle Ghost until the afternoon, when the sun was setting in the western mountains. After dinner, the people who came to worship sat in the house and chatted.

Yu Xiao is the same, he has nothing to do all day, so he has been talking to Uncle Ghost. It was only after twelve o'clock that he walked to the room where he had rested.

However, Yu Xiao didn't hear the sound of scratching the wall last night tonight, and held his breath and listened to it for a while before finally falling asleep.

At nine o'clock the next morning, after Yu Xiao woke up, he first asked his master's family to go to the tomb and burn some incense, candles, and paper money.

There is no reason, but it is the tomb of the old man of the owner's family, so he naturally has to burn incense and worship first, but he also wants to carry the coffin out of the funeral, so that it can be smooth, and don't have some troublesome and strange things.

"Uncle Ghost!" Seeing that Uncle Ghost was drinking tea on the side, Yu Xiao shouted.

Hurry up, I heard him talk about the strange things I experienced in the river yesterday, and I didn't seem to have heard enough, and now Yu Xiaopu also wants to continue chatting with him.

had already prepared the things before the burial, and Yu Xiao was idle for a while. Today is a banquet hosted by the host's family to entertain relatives and friends from afar.

It's just that at night, in the hall, the old man's body is put into the coffin, and Yu Xiao will be on the side. After asking relatives and friends to pay their respects, wait until half past five in the morning of the next day, and carry the coffin out of the mountain to the mountain.

"Are you a feng shui gentleman invited by the master's family?" Uncle Ghost looked at Yu Xiao in front of him, and asked with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Yes! I happened to be passing by that day, and there was one thing that he had to help with. Seeing the old man pass away, he stayed and explored a tomb. ”

After Yu Xiao finished explaining, he poured himself a cup of tea to drink.

It's still the same as before, and there are still a lot of people around me, and they don't want to talk about it at this time, so they don't say what it is.

"Not bad!" Uncle Ghost smiled and praised.

Of course, I also understand Yu Xiao, and I am afraid that it is not so simple to ask the master's family for help. I didn't ask too much, after all, there are some hidden things, and it's not good to know.

Uncle Ghost stood up, walked to the hall and bowed to the old man and the dead three times, and then retreated to the side room.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon again, and Yu Xiao had been sitting and eating melon seeds, so that the people around him did not look like a feng shui gentleman.

However, just after the sky gradually became dark, Yu Xiao got up and walked into the hall, three meters away from the old man and the deceased.

Looking at the master's house in front of him, he and his relatives were lifting the old man and the deceased and putting it in the coffin. Now it's getting late, and the coffin has to be loaded.

According to this custom, the deceased body has to be put into the coffin as soon as it gets dark. If it is a little later, it will not be considered that the descendants behind it are not filial.

It's so late, and it hasn't been put in the coffin yet, and there is a deep meaning. Only in this rural and rural area, when their children grow up and start a family, they have to live separately from their parents.

But in the village, when it gets dark, the old man is outside, and his children have to be invited into the house. Otherwise, it will make the people in the village gossip, unfilial piety and so on.

"Mr. Yu, please take a seat first." The master put the old man in the coffin, turned to Yu Xiao and said. (To be continued.) )
