Chapter 7 Interaction between the deceased and their loved ones
"Cow-cow-cow-"
"Niu Niu Niu?"
"Not bad! Niu Niu Niu! ”
"It turns out that the dog master is worried about his cow!"
Fifth Uncle Chen is also from this village, so he naturally knows that the dog loves cows like his life, and now he understands after a little thought. No wonder the twenty-four uncles were depressed, but it was his Lao Tzu's wish that came to the pressure of dreams, but they didn't have the ability to communicate with ghosts, how could they understand what the dog master meant? The dog master is a new ghost, and naturally he does not have the ability to communicate with people clearly, and he has done his best to dream of it, and when he is buried in the coffin, he is afraid that the last trace of worry will also be scattered with the wind.
Uncle Chen has been doing this for a long time, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running away, he has understood the cause and effect after thinking about it, and hurriedly rearranged the happy event process of the dog master, it is okay that the deceased's last thoughts do not know, and if he knows, he must arrange it properly, otherwise when the last thoughts become resentment, God knows what kind of basket to poke!
Fifth Uncle Chen walked a few steps, seemed to remember something, and walked back and whispered: "May Day, you should pay attention to the confidentiality of this matter, the current society may not be able to treat you!" ”
Seeing that I nodded to show that I understood, the fifth uncle strode away.
In fact, I wanted to signal Uncle Chen to help me keep it secret, but I didn't expect him to take the lead, this society has been mixed up for a long time, and he is really thoughtful when considering things, and I admire it on May Day!
Uncle Chen instructed his colleagues to continue singing the Eight Immortals, and at the same time stopped Mr. Eight (the coffin bearer) from putting the dog in the coffin, and quickly called the twenty-fourth uncle to ask him to find someone to bring their old cattle to say goodbye to the dog master.
A few quick-thinking people understood Uncle Chen's intentions after a little thought, and most people looked at Uncle Chen with a blank eye and hoped for an answer. But at this time, in addition to the dog master - the deceased is the largest, that is, Uncle Chen is the most professional authority, what he says is what he says, and he looks like he is unfathomable, the secret of heaven cannot be leaked, and he doesn't know how to ask, and everyone can only suppress their doubts in their hearts and wait for the cow to come.
The old cow is very old, but it can still move around normally.
As the first brother to enter the ancestral hall of the village, he did not break the record of the cattle world, and he stared blankly at the dog master - the human he was most familiar with was now lying there quietly, and did not stretch out his big hand to touch his back, what was wrong with him?
Brother Niu didn't care about everyone's curious onlookers, as if he wanted to push the old man he was most familiar with his mouth, but the twenty-second brother grabbed its nose ring tightly, how could it get close?
The docile Brother Niu didn't struggle, but moved his four hooves lightly uneasily, and the two big bull's eyes stared at the dog master, and suddenly Brother Niu seemed to understand something, "Moo-" sounded, low and attached, and at the same time two lines of hot tears poured out......
Everyone had already been infected by Brother Niu at this time, and as soon as the cow's tears came out, the mourning hall also cried instantly, but they, especially the twenty-fourth uncle and other relatives, were light-hearted, but they were saddened and didn't notice it for the time being.
I found that the dog seemed to make a lot of strange sounds, as if to tell Brother Niu or be able to say goodbye to old friends with his own eyes, I could even hear the dog master's "hehehe" laughter, but the sound finally became smaller and smaller, and the faint black shadow finally became more and more talkative, and finally all submerged into the dog's body, and the sound and shadow were gone.
And the moment the ghost of the dog disappeared, I seemed to be shocked, quite comfortable, why is this?
The dog is full of children and grandchildren, except for a little daughter who is married far away and has no heart and lungs, everything else is happy, and in the end it is his old partner - Brother Niu, who has been identified: The dog is a strange one.
But if you are a man of temperament, why not love a man and a cow?
I quietly informed Fifth Uncle Chen that the dog had something on his mind, and I can continue the following process.
Fifth Uncle Chen didn't say much, and seeing that the time was tight, he hurriedly arranged for Mr. Eight to place the dog master.
In the following funeral process, the son of the deceased needs to lie flat on the ground in advance on the route into the mountain, face his head forward, cut his hands behind his back to make a carrying shape, and let Mr. Bada carry the coffin over, which means that the man of the family carries him up the mountain. And the daughter is about the same, but the head is facing the opposite, which means that although the girl is outgoing, she is also willing to carry her father up the mountain. The order of this lying down is from large to small, and the distance can also be determined according to the number of children of the deceased. The most important thing to remember in the process of children falling down is: the coffin is not allowed, and you must not raise your head! Otherwise, if you hit your head against a big bag, it will scatter the soul of the deceased, and the sin will be great!
After the dinner, it is time to invite the gods and summon the spirits.
At the end is an interactive link between the deceased and his descendants - touching the silver.
To put it nicely is an interaction, in fact, there is a basin buckled under the table, and what is buckled in the basin is a pile of sand, and there are one hundred or dozens of one-yuan or five-cent coins mixed in the sand.
Thirty aunts have always looked like they were sick and wilted to death of their father-uh! Is it really a dead father? Anyway, she looks like she's about to die. But when Fifth Uncle Chen said "start", she was so vigorous that she was like a rabbit, and she was crazy, which frightened everyone, and the twenty-four uncles were so stunned that they forgot to do it, and when she reacted, she had to take the lead, and in the end, of course, she got the most.
However, it stands to reason that the person who gets the most should be congratulated by relatives and friends, but unfortunately except for her husband who went up and muttered a few words, no one stepped forward, and it was also cold, but she was leisurely and didn't take it to heart. And originally, everyone should have more or less given the twenty-second brother who held the spirit card in his hand and didn't have the opportunity to participate, but she-who had to say her?
Coins are valuable, but saliva is more expensive.
Her mother died early, and now she has a relationship with her dearest dog father who has also died of old age, and as for the charm of her brother and sister, I am afraid that it is unbearable in her heart, and the mountain village in this small town in South China is afraid that it will be truly insulated from her from now on!
……
……
The day after the funeral of the dog master, the seventeenth day of the seventh lunar month, the weather was sunny.
Dad went to the blacksmith shop in the town after breakfast, and after a few days of work, now I have to hurry up and complete it to the villagers according to the quality and quantity, and I am now a half-waste sick number can not help my father, and I am blind with all my strength, which is a pity!
When I sat in front of the courtyard and watched the chickens catch insects, Uncle Chen arrived, said hello casually, took a sip of Dad's hookah "Gollum", swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and said, "May Day, when did you have that skill?" ”
That one? Which one?
Although Fifth Uncle Chen didn't explain, I wasn't stupid, so I naturally understood that he was asking, "I don't know the specifics, it should be recently!" I also went to say goodbye when the three masters of your family died last year, but I didn't feel anything unusual. ”
Some things should be said, some things should be enjoyed by oneself, and saying it may not be good for others, but may harm others, which has nothing to do with trust or distrust.
