After all our men have finished praying before the coffin, the last person holding the incense inserts it into the basin. At this time, standing aside, with no sadness on his face, Uncle Cousin walked to the side of the coffin. According to the custom, the soil from the mineral water bottle is sprinkled little by little on the edge of the blanket on the lid of the coffin, as well as around the coffin.

When the villagers saw Uncle Tang pouring all the dirt from the mineral water bottle, someone immediately shouted: "The ceremony is over!" Let's go!"

Then a series of firecrackers began to sound in their ears, and the villagers who were responsible for carrying the coffin also bent down and carried the big tree on their shoulders, and they made a low sound, that is, they wanted to carry the coffin.

"Woo ......"

Seeing this, the female family members began to cry and shout for their mothers to come forward and pull the coffin, as if they were very reluctant to carry the coffin away. In fact, it is just a custom, but it is not excluded that some people are sincerely reluctant to leave the deceased. Therefore, often the villagers will watch the excitement at this time, commenting on who is really crying and who is fake crying. It's a bit too much, so let's get back to the point.

And our male family members, seeing that the coffin was about to be lifted, also hurriedly got up and prepared to give way. After all, the custom is to let the coffin go to the front!

But something happened that shocked everyone. I only heard the sound of 'pop', and all the people carrying the coffin stumbled and fell to the ground.

What the hell is going on, it turns out that the rope that tied the coffin is broken! This is also the reason why the person carrying the coffin will fall, you must know that they are all exerting force on their shoulders at the same time, and naturally their feet are not very strong. As soon as the rope broke, they fell to the ground because they couldn't eat their balance.

"What's going on"

When Dad saw the people carrying the coffin fall to the ground, he immediately stepped forward to investigate the situation. And when I saw something weird, I naturally followed behind my father to see what was going on. After a closer look, I found that the rope was broken, and it was a little strangely broken. The two finger-thick ropes looked as if they had been cut with a knife, and the fracture was quite smooth, not at all as if it had broken without being able to withstand the force.

Strange to say, the people who carried the coffin fell to the ground. The coffin was actually set up on two benches, and there was nothing to do, and it was still lying there smoothly.

"The rope is broken! It is estimated that it has been used for a long time, and the inside of the rope is moldy. And bring a fresh thick rope!"

Find out the reason, and it will be easy to do. Soon the villagers went to the collective warehouse in the village to bring the spare new rope. The two-finger-thick brown rope is made from the leaves of a palm tree that is highly stretchy and resistant to decay, and it is said that a two-finger-thick brown rope can last for twenty years without worrying about it breaking. I still remember that kind of rope was used in tug-of-war competitions in school when I was a child, and it was really hard. With the development of science and technology and the emergence of various steels, it is estimated that this traditional old craft has been lost.

The villagers re-tied the coffin with a new rope and threaded the tree through the rope again. After shouting the slogan, the person carrying the coffin was ready to exert his strength again. After all, the soil has been sprinkled and the firecrackers have been released, so it is natural to lift the coffin directly, and kick down the bench holding the coffin and the basin used as an incense burner.

However, something unexpected happened again. Eight big men were half-squatting around the coffin with red faces and red ears, and on their shoulders it was none other than a big tree with a thick rope attached. According to everyone's memory in the past, eight people should be able to lift the coffin easily.

Why are those eight people now as if they are constipated, and their faces are flushed. It's just that they can't lift the coffin, because they didn't eat breakfast in the morning, so they can't make the effort, the answer is no! The custom in our village is like this, no matter the red or white celebrations, as long as others help, the main family will definitely take care of three meals. Since the main family has prepared three meals for you, may the person who helps not eat them?

Seeing this, my father, who was one of the stewards of the village, hurriedly walked over and asked loudly, "What's wrong again?"

"It's so heavy! We can't lift it!" These are the words answered by the eight villagers who were responsible for carrying the coffin, and judging by their figures, they definitely belong to the category of strong men. Usually when someone dies in the village, eight people carry the coffin, and they can easily lift the coffin. Why can't I get here?

"How is it possible, the coffins are all about the same weight, almost all of them are about 300 catties, even if my second uncle is a man, weighing about 110 catties! The two add up to no more than 500 catties! There's no reason why you can't lift it!"

Dad looked at the coffin with a puzzled expression, he had been a steward for twenty years, and he had never encountered such a situation.

"It's easy! The dead don't want to be lifted up!"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Look at this person who spoke out, who had such a tone and said such brainless words

Actually, you don't have to guess to know that it was me who said that. There's no way, who let me learn from the master is this kind of thing to crack the evil door!

According to his father's analysis, eight strong men can easily lift something weighing five hundred pounds. But obviously, it can't be lifted. Moreover, the villagers who carried the coffin also said that the coffin was so heavy that several of them could not carry it. Thinking about it, the coffin never moved at all, just set up on the bench so brightly.

So, plus the previous rope suddenly broke. With such an evil thing, I began to analyze whether there was something evil and strange that was causing trouble. Eventually, with a sentence flashing through my head, I seemed to understand what was going on.

"A man is about to die, three can't be touched, one ear, two noses, three days of spiritual cover. Whoever is touched, the deceased is chaotic in yin and yang, and there will be an accident. ”

Yes, this passage is the record of the ancestors of the "Yin and Yang Miscellaneous Edition" that I have read. According to the book, in combination with the things in front of you. I'm 95% sure that someone must have touched three forbidden parts when my second uncle was about to close his eyes and die.

My judgment was valid, but my father, uncles, relatives, and villagers were not like me.

As soon as I said that, the expression on everyone's face was different. All of them looked at me as if they were idiots, and a few looked at me with doubtful eyes. This kind of people can be said to be quite shrewd, because they have their own judgments, and they don't blindly choose to be like everyone else, thinking that I am an idiot, otherwise how could they say those words. They choose to wonder because they know that I have something to do outside, and you think about it, could such a person say idiotic things, but why I said those things is why they are puzzled.

And in everyone's expressions, only one person chose to believe me. That's my mom, who told me to talk to her about the industry I was working in the outside! Although at home, my mother was not very optimistic about the industry I was engaged in, but now she has chosen to support me steadfastly, I think what this means is beyond words! It's all in plain sight!

"Hey! I thought that Shugui had a great future outside, but I couldn't think of saying such things that only a child can say now! The dead don't want to be lifted up, you are an idiot when you think everyone!"

"That's it, I think Shu Gui Bacheng is doing something shady outside, otherwise how could it be so fast!"

"I think so too! Last year, when he came back for the Chinese New Year, he told everyone that he was working in the factory. It's only been a little bit now, and it's building a house and being generous! It must be a violent criminal industry such as stealing and kidnapping. How could it be that much money from a part-time job in a factory?"

Hearing everyone's whispers, I stood there expressionless. In fact, my heart is like an old vinegar bottle, and I can't help but sigh: This is the world of all kinds of things! You're better off than others, and people don't say anything about it, and they may wish you would go bankrupt or get cancer or something. Of course, even if none of this can be achieved, then it would be quite comfortable to give you a rock.

My cousin, who was holding the portrait, strode towards me, glared at me, and then said angrily: "The tree is expensive! What nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you step aside for me!" I'm talking idiot only for me, or even for my family. And not him!

In this regard, Dad just glanced at me, and secretly made a small retreat movement to me with his palm, suggesting that I should not talk nonsense and get out of here quickly.

However, I didn't seem to see my father's glances and small movements at me. I still stood there with a blank face, listening to the villagers' comments about me.

"I'll say it again! You can't lift the coffin of the second uncle, it's not because you don't have enough strength, it's just because the ghost of the second uncle is doing something. He won't let you carry him away like this!"

"Haha!"

When everyone heard my words, they immediately couldn't help but laugh. This time, my cousin couldn't help it, and stepped forward to pull me to win, thanks to my father's quick hand to block it.

"Big brother, what are you doing, he has been talking nonsense here, and you have been letting him go like this."

Passing a very apologetic look to my cousin, my father turned around and took my hand and whispered, "The tree is expensive!" This kind of thing is unusual, don't talk nonsense, otherwise it's easy to make people laugh. Hurry up and go back with your mother! Obedient!" Immediately, my father beckoned to my mother's position in the distance, and motioned for her to come.

Mom quickly came over, obeyed Dad, and reached out to pull me away. But I broke free.

"Mom and Dad! If I leave here today or don't come back at all, then they will never think of burying the body of the second master in the tomb. "Although I said it to my parents, my eyes looked straight at my cousin, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious, and it was a bit of a taste of scolding Huai." Believe it or not! I just want to ask, who was waiting for the second uncle when he was about to die, and did he touch one of the three parts of the second uncle's ears, nose or heavenly spirit cover when the second uncle just died. ”

Hearing my words, the villagers were stunned for a moment. Because they didn't understand what I was saying. When people die, they die, so what's wrong with touching these three parts, but when they recall that their family members died, they don't seem to have touched those three places, so naturally they don't know what the mystery is inside.
