The old lady walked more and more hurriedly, as if someone was chasing her behind her, looking back from time to time, and finally running like a madman, I was panting and sweating after the chase.

Finally, the old lady knelt down on her knees in our direction, and I was stunned, and then relieved, the old lady was not looking in the direction of me, she was looking up and begging for someone.

"Please, don't take me away, old man, for our sake, don't take me away, please." Talking about kowtowing.

I couldn't feel the ghost in front of her at all, and I glanced at Lao Dao, and the expression on Lao Dao's face was full of doubt.

The old lady kowtowed her head on the ground for a long time, took out four candles from her baggage, drew a square on the ground, placed some tributes, lit candles on the four corners of the square, and there were three incense sticks next to the candles, which rose in a curling way. The old lady was a dead person under the light of four candles, and if he lay there with his eyes closed, no one would think that he was a living person, and even ordinary people could tell whether he was dead or alive.

Then I saw him take out the burning paper from the bag and divide it into four parts, and light the four parts in four directions with the help of candles, and when the incense burned away, the expression on the old lady's face became more and more anxious, and finally she panicked and wanted to block it with her hand, so that the incense burned more slowly.

When I noticed the old lady's expression, a gust of wind blew on the flat ground, blowing away the ashes of the burnt paper, and the old lady's tightly knit brow stretched, and she actually smiled.

Then the old lady took out another piece of clothing in the baggage, the woman's personal clothes, and some paper ashes, put them on the ground, wrote a few words on the paper, lit the clothes with matches, burned them all, the clothes burned very slowly, and the old lady didn't care about the speed of the clothes burning. In the process, I found that the old lady had some flesh on her cheeks, and on her forehead and hands, she didn't look like skin and bones, and even the corpse spots had gone down a lot.

The smile on the old lady's face became more and more obvious, a heartfelt smile, what made the old lady so happy?

"Borrowing longevity, this old lady is not simple, she actually knows how to borrow longevity?" The old way murmured.

"Borrowing longevity? Is it fate? I asked.

Lao Dao nodded, pointing to the old lady's place, "What do you think she is doing?" ”

I scratched my head, "It looks like I'm worshipping the four corners, but some of the links are wrong." ”

"That's not right?"

"Worship the four corners is to burn incense, or light candles, the same can be, and the paper does not need to be divided into four parts, and what is the purpose of burning clothes, and the ashes that were specially brought, the old lady seems to be more energetic than before." I put my doubts out there.

After listening to my doubts, Lao Dao straightened up, "Candles are used to worship the four corners, and burning incense is to worship God, but in her bureau, burning incense is to ask for the help of passing ghosts, and it is burned into four points, which refers to the ghosts and gods in all directions." Speaking of which, Lao Dao looked at the clothes that were still burning.

"What about the clothes?" I can't wait to ask.

Lao Dao couldn't see the expression on his face, "This is her daughter-in-law's clothes, and those ashes are the ashes that have burned behind the store." What he wrote on the paper just now should be the birthday of her daughter-in-law and these people who open shops, asking the passing ghosts and gods to help him borrow his birthday. ”

"Borrowing Shou, what will happen to these fat women?"

"Reduced life, during this time, these people will have a serious illness, or die, their souls will leave their bodies, they will be unconscious, like a living dead."

"Not alive or dead?" I asked.

Lao Dao kicked me, "Like, don't you know what it means?" ”

The old lady fiddled with her clothes and burned them clean, until the last spark was extinguished, and the old lady was satisfied with her things and continued to walk. I walked into the rice field I was talking about, dug out the iron box in it, looked around cautiously, held it in my arms, walked to the river in the rice field, opened the iron box, took out the tablet I had expected a long time ago, put it on a big stone, put a stick of incense, and kowtowed three times.

After kowtowing, the old lady cut a hole in her hand, leaving the blood on the tablet, I vaguely saw a shadow floating into the tablet on the old lady's body, I heard a buzz pointing, I reached out to touch the phone, not my phone? Lao Dao pointed to the tablet, which turned out to be vibrating, and the blood stains flowed along the handwriting, emitting a red light, and finally disappeared into the tablet. When the old lady saw the tablet vibrate, she even kowtowed, and every time it was loud, and we heard it clearly behind him.

The old lady raised her head and looked at the tablet, and a red light pierced into the old lady's eyes. The old lady stood up, threw away the crutches, looked at her hands, looked at her body, raised her head and turned around, and I saw the old lady sneezing with a red light. After standing for a long time, the eastern corner of the sky turned white, the old lady squatted down, put the tablet in the gold and iron box, and stepped into the river sand. Grab your crutches and leave in a hurry.

I walked to the place where the old lady buried something, and reached out to dig out the things underneath, but was stopped by the old way. "Now when you dig it out, the old lady will find that the old lady is being controlled by something else, let's see what he does next?"

Continue to follow the old lady, found that he walked into another village, the chickens in Guangxi are free-range, nesting everywhere, the old lady swayed from side to side, those chickens did not dare to move when they saw him, stood there straight, only a white rooster, saw the old lady, ran away.

The old lady grabbed a chicken, looked at it, was not satisfied with throwing it away, the thrown chicken rolled on the ground a few times, moved, ran away, the old lady continued to choose, and finally chose a rooster with bright hair. The old lady took the rooster in her arms and walked back, stroking the rooster as she went, which rooster was frightened and shivered.

On the way back to the village, the old lady sat on the ridge, plucked a few chicken feathers on the rooster's neck, opened her mouth and bit down, along the chicken body and the old lady's chin, bleeding, the rooster struggled a few times, there was no movement, the old lady shook off the rooster, wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth with her hand, stretched out her tongue and licked her fingers, burped with a satisfied face, and continued to walk forward.

The old lady did not go home directly into the village, but went to the market at the ridge in front of the village, lit an incense stick at the back door of her shop, burned a piece of paper money, and put a small part of the ashes in her backpack. Then, with the same steps, the ashes are placed in the backpack at two separate locations. The old lady didn't burn them one by one, as if he had predicted which one to burn first, and then which one to burn.

"What is the old lady doing?" I asked Xiang Laodao.

"He is compensating these people, and after these people die, they get the property of Yin Si, and these paper money is specially formulated by Yin Si."

"Losing money? Paying the living with the money of the underworld? I looked at the old lady who burned the paper suspiciously.

Lao Dao nodded, "The paper money that people burned in the past is kept by Yin Si and then distributed uniformly, otherwise some people are rich when they are alive and richer when they die, and the poor don't want to be poor all the time?" ”

? In this world, whoever is rich is the boss, and when he goes to Yinsi, he finally has the ability to turn over. The old lady used the money of the yin division to buy their lifespan, who gave him the money of the yin division in her hand? It was undoubtedly given to him by a weasel.

The old lady who burned the paper did not go to the market to steal meat to eat as I expected, but went back to her own house, and the old Tao said that the old lady did not need to eat raw meat after drinking chicken blood, and the old lady was so violent, the chicken that was still moving, opened her mouth and bit down on the neck of the chicken.

The old lady walked back to the door of her house, and the Hong Kong and Taiwan accents happened to come out of her door, and when she saw that we were going to come up and say hello, I quickly told him to shut up. The old lady looked at him with a strange expression, but she couldn't see anyone else.

"Gringo, what's wrong?" The old lady decided in her heart that she was either a mainlander or a gringo.

RTHK moved his throat. "Grandma, how many times have I said it, I am from Taiwan, a place in China."

"Are you stunned, standing here alone, watching my old lady bully?"

Hearing this, I rubbed my eyes, I quickly gestured my fingers, stretched out my hand and bent two fingers, pointed at the old lady's eyes, nodded at me and the old way, and waved my hand, which means that the old lady can't see us.

"Who but me?"

The old lady walked up with a crutch, "You gringo, you have bullied my old woman." ”
