Zhang Duangong said next to him: "People are humane, ghosts have ghosts, don't entangle the dead anymore, since you have no chance, then I will help you match a good marriage, what you want in the future, it all depends on your creation." If you continue to entangle, you will not accept it. ”

They tinkered all day, and I knelt in front of my mother's grave for a whole day, and that day my father carried me home and put me on the bed.

My father sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch my head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said to me, "Your mother is good at everything, just ......"

My dad talked to me for hours, all to help me plan for the rest of my life, and he didn't leave until I fell asleep.

But after they married their mother, the mother really never appeared, grandparents and they gradually let go of this matter, grandma said: "This woman is cheap, where is she thinking about dolls, just thinking about men, you see, now I have found a man for her, won't it stop?" ”

Grandpa listened to grandma's words and was angry, knocked on the cigarette gun in his hand and said: "You are almost done, how to say that we are sorry for her, now that the matter has stopped, you should burn incense and worship the Buddha to ask for forgiveness, and your conscience was eaten by a dog?" ”

Grandma didn't think so, and from time to time she had to count down her mother, saying that she was so noisy because she lacked men. I was also very angry when I heard these words, but I couldn't say anything, I could only keep it in my heart.

It's grandpa, almost every day to buy some incense candles and yin and yang money back, when free will go to my mother's grave to burn my mother, no matter what grandma says about my mother, grandpa will not say that my mother is not.

Grandpa burned incense and paper for his mother for most of the year, unless the weather was particularly bad, otherwise grandpa would definitely go to his mother's grave.

At that time, I was thinking, if my mother came back to seek revenge, what would happen to me, it wouldn't hurt my grandfather, he did everything he could.

But it backfired, nearly a year had passed, and my grandfather came back from the field in the evening after finishing farm work, and when he entered the house, he looked up at the place where his mother had been hanging, and then his eyes fell to the ground, unconscious.

Dad and grandma asked many barefoot doctors nearby to see grandpa, and they had their own results after reading them, and each doctor said differently, and the family medicine bottles could be put together in a bucket, and grandpa did not get better.

In the end, my father invited Zhang Duangong again, Zhang Duangong went to his grandfather's bed and opened his grandfather's eyes to look at it, and he was so frightened that he got up and walked out: "It's not that I'm sick, but I'm afraid that Chen Xiao and his mother will come out to make trouble again, he must have angered her, I can't control this matter, you ask for more blessings." ”

Zhang Duangong didn't say more than half a word and left.

Dad went to Zhang Duangong's house that evening with a big bag of gifts, begging Zhang Duangong to help save people, my grandmother and I watched my grandfather in the house, and guarded my grandfather until midnight, grandma saw that I was tired and asked me to go back to the house to sleep first.

When I entered the house and turned on the light, I saw a woman in a big red robe in front of the bed.

I recognize this dress, it was the one they put on my mother when she was married to her, and my mother stood in front of the bed with her side sideways, and she only turned around to look at me when I entered the house.

I was so frightened that I shouted, and my grandmother immediately rushed in with a flat pole, and was frightened when she saw my mother, but she still protected me behind her, and smashed it at my mother with a flat pole, scolding in her mouth: "The short-lived ghost on your back, you have given you everything, and you are still pestering us to do something, and beat you to death." ”

The mother was smashed by the flat pole and her body deviated slightly, and then took a staggering step and walked away.

After my mother left, my grandmother immediately closed all the doors and windows, and did not allow me to continue sleeping, so she pulled me to my grandfather's bed, and said, "Your mother may come back at night, so we will wait here for your father and Zhang Duangong." ”

I stared at my grandfather on the bed, and then asked my grandmother: "My mother was killed by you, and my grandfather has been burning incense and paper for my mother, why doesn't my mother harm you, but my grandfather?" ”

When my grandmother heard my words, she cried angrily, picked up the broom next to me and pumped it on me, crying and reprimanding while beating: "Do you dare to say such things?" ”

In the past, because my disobedient grandparents taught me, they would ask me if I dared to do it again, and I would reply that I didn't dare to do it in order not to be beaten, but this time I didn't open my mouth, my grandmother cried and beat me, and I cried and was beaten, and my grandmother stopped when she was tired.

It wasn't until the next morning that my father took Zhang Duangong into the house, and as soon as he entered the house, Zhang Duangong said: "The road was blocked by unclean things last night, and the road was not opened until this morning, is Xiao Wazi's mother back again?" ”

Grandma hurriedly responded, Zhang Duangong put down a medicine box he was carrying, walked to his grandfather's bedside, opened his grandfather's eyes and looked at it for a while, and then took out some red powder and water from the bag and wiped it on his grandfather's face.

Grandma watched worriedly from the side, and when Zhang Duangong was done, she walked over and asked anxiously: "Zhang Duangong, is Xiao Wazi's grandfather still saved?" ”

Zhang Duangong pretended to sigh deeply, shook his head and said nothing, and my grandmother said again: "Zhang Duangong, you just say it, we can all stand it." ”

Zhang Duangong said: "Then I'll say it directly, this matter can be solved, it depends on whether you can be ruthless." ”

Dad immediately said in a firm tone: "There's nothing ruthless, as long as you can prevent her from harming our family again, no matter what." ”

Zhang Duangong sighed, put the things he had taken out before and put them in the medicine box before saying: "What the ghost is most afraid of is fire, and now there is no other way, the only way is to dig up her body and burn it, and it will be all gone." ”

The most cruel punishment in ancient times was nothing more than beheading, which was also a death penalty, and hanging was much lighter than beheading, because we believe in leaving the whole body in death, and the corpse is not all inrecarnated, and burning the corpse with fire is equivalent to crushing the bones and scattering ashes.

The countryside is full of simple croppers, where can such a thing be done.

So grandma and dad hesitated at that time, and Zhang Duangong was not in a hurry, packed up his things and walked out, saying, "You guys are ready to come to me." ”

Before I could go out, my father gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, as long as I can solve this problem, I will agree to burn her." ”

Dad and grandma agreed, Zhang Duangong had nothing to say, and at noon that day, when the sun was at its highest, several people went to his mother's grave with hoes.

Dad didn't want the people in the village to know about this kind of thing, but just the three of Dad, Zhang Duangong, and Grandma couldn't get the coffin out, so they could only ask the villagers for help.

As a result, when I went to call some people in the village who could still use their strength, they all came to my door and stopped my father and grandmother: "If you don't want to do this, this is a bruising of bones and ashes, and you will be punished, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the baby, don't move the soil." ”

There was no one in the village to help, but looking at the grandfather on the bed, my father really had no choice, so he went directly to the tomb with a hoe, and grandma and Zhang Duangong also followed.

The three of them were stunned to dig out the coffin of more than 1,000 catties, and in the evening, they opened the coffin with a bang, but the moment the coffin was opened, the coffin actually made the cry of a baby.

Frightened, my father and grandmother all leaned back and sat on the ground, and I watched all this in a daze.

Dad sat on the ground and didn't dare to look at the cry of the baby in the coffin, but rubbed his eyes with his hands full of mud, sobbed and said, "O sin, retribution." ”

Grandma was startled before, but now she eased up, and stood up with a hoe: "Once the fire is burned, there will be nothing." ”

After speaking, he stood up and went to the coffin, and then he was stunned, and his mouth made an ah-ah sound, as if he was out of breath.

Zhang Duangong and my father also followed, and their expressions became the same.

I then stepped up and stood beside the coffin and looked inside, there was no mother in the coffin, and there was no man they had put in to marry my mother, only a white and fat baby lying in the coffin, curiously looking at this new world.

Zhang Duangong leaned down and picked up the baby in the coffin, Zhang Duangong just touched the baby, and the baby cried so much that he didn't listen, but after he picked up the baby, a few words on the coffin board where the baby was born also appeared.

It reads: The baby is not at fault, let the baby go.
