The first day of the first month of the first month of the dead is the most taboo, according to the rules, but anyone who dies on this day is not allowed to mourn, not to do white tofu joy, not to stay in the coffin. The dead body needs to wear daily clothes and lie on the **, commonly known as wrapping it in a quilt, as if he was sleeping.

One is that at the beginning of the first month, the death of a family is not good; Second, it is unreasonable to let others go to your house to help deal with the funeral during the Spring Festival, and usually choose to officially mourn after the fifth day of the first lunar month.

But after all, it's my uncle's and grandfather's house, and this matter can still have something to do with us, and I didn't ask the teacher as soon as I came in the morning, and my eldest cousin and second cousin were all standing in the yard with murderous eyes.

"What are you yelling about?" I pushed open the courtyard door and said to the two cousins outside wearing black veils on their hands: "I'm not happy about slapping people in the face on the first day of the first lunar month, remember to bring something when I come back to pay New Year's greetings." Why are you doing this empty-handed, making trouble, you have to say that I really don't welcome it as a guest. ”

"Listen." He said to my mother: "Is your son still big, is there still an elder in his eyes, even his uncle and uncle dared to beat him last night, isn't it just that he has gone out and mixed up for two years and has a little money in his pocket, do you still want to eat people!" ”

"Uncle? Uncle? I laughed and said, "You are worthy too!" Sensei and I are talking about distant relatives here, and I can't do it, so I either get out or crawl back. ”

"You kid!" My second cousin probably couldn't get off the stage at all after being scolded by me, and there were already a lot of people gathered outside to watch the excitement, so he waved his fist over, but my dad stopped his fist with one hand and pushed it out, and the second cousin sat on the ground with a stumbling ass.

My father was notoriously short-tempered, and the Red Guards were all cut down by him back then, not to mention these two people, and he usually couldn't get used to that family, so he just happened to protect his son and naturally had a seizure: "What should I do, why should I go, I'm not ashamed, I still think it, it smells of!" If it weren't for your aunt's face, you two would have stayed today. ”

My eldest cousin is a well-known scoundrel, and when he heard my father say this, he sat down on the stone pier at the gate of my house, crossed Erlang's legs and said: "If you stay, you will stay, if you don't hand over the rebel, you won't want to have a good Spring Festival!" ”

"Then I don't hand it over, what do you want?"

"Take 10,000 yuan, people are still lying at home, you have to pay the funeral expenses first."

The two of them are here to blackmail, and I also lost my temper: "Get out of the calf!" Two scoundrels, he fell into the dung pit and drowned himself, what do I have to do. Politely call you cousin, see if you are not polite, I will call you grandson, come here to ask for money, do you also have a poop in your head! ”

"Hey, you little king and eight calves, okay, I really don't want to use your status as an elder to pressure you today, bring a total of 10,000 yuan, otherwise, you can do it yourself!" With a wave of his hand, I saw that the crowd of onlookers outside immediately made way for me, and four young men with white cloth strips on their heads carried a coffin to the gate of my house.

The onlookers have begun to discuss, this kind of thing is absolutely a terrible means of damage to the extreme, I see that my father's face has turned black into pig liver, he said in a calm voice: "Finally, I will give you another chance, carry him away and then kneel and buckle my head three times, I will treat it as nothing." ”

My eldest cousin saw that there were more and more onlookers, and he became more and more arrogant, because he knew that this meant that our family's face would be swept away, and it was also his means of coercion, he pointed at my father with smoke in his mouth and said: "Xia Lao Liu, 10,000 yuan, tell you, you can't have one less son!" ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll go in and get it for you!" After that, my old man yelled at me: "Give me death!" ”

Maybe people are forgetful, my distant relatives really don't know who they provoked this time, and a minute later, my father strode towards the entrance of the courtyard with a pole of earth. In the distance, my eldest cousin saw it and immediately cried out, "What do you want to do!" Don't mess around! I'm telling you, it's illegal to kill someone, and a lot of people here are watching! Oops, don't come! At this time, he had already begun to get up and run out, and the people watching the excitement outside were not stupid, and the gun was taken out and still not dispersed?

If it were someone else, I was afraid that everyone would persuade it, after all, the person who dared to use a gun in full view of everyone hadn't appeared in recent years, but it was different for my father, he said that he would definitely not fake it.

"Bah" there was a burst of black smoke, the power of the earth gun is not large, but the movement is really not small, here is a handful of iron sand, used to beat rabbits and pheasants, my eldest cousin ran out not more than ten meters away, "ouch" and lay on the ground, and the buttocks were suddenly blood-red.

My father unhurriedly took out the horns of the ox and filled the barrel with gunpowder, and then steadily compacted it with iron bars, poured a handful of iron sand into it, and then raised the gun, and my second cousin, who was about to help him to the ground, ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.

"If you dare to take another step, I'll break your dog's leg!" My dad roared, and the guy didn't move, only a back was left trembling there.

"Where did you move here, carry it back, and ask you to kowtow to me to make amends, and you!" My dad was referring to the little pimpies who helped carry the coffin.

Where do these people dare not listen, and immediately kneel down and take a bite of their own no, who is really not afraid of death? I'm afraid that the master who fell to the ground and hummed won't be able to ** for a month, and there is a lesson to be learned.

The row of men who brushed the brush all knelt down honestly, and after three heads, they carried the coffin faster than a rabbit, and my father turned around with a gloomy face and gave me a slap as soon as the door was closed: "The mold has made you fall down!" ”

I didn't talk back, and I couldn't talk back, it's really hard to say that people come to the door of the family. During the Chinese New Year, this slap made me depressed, and I didn't want to go out of the room until dinner in the evening.

After all, my mother still feels sorry for me, at night, I got some food and sent it to the room, the fat man got some wine and sat with me to drink, these two people drank two bottles of white wine unconsciously, and I fell asleep on the ** in a daze.

In the second half of the night, it was almost dawn, and I felt a little cold, and I wanted to pull the quilt in a daze but felt that I couldn't move. The contradiction between the cold and the desire to pull the quilt lasted for more than a minute, and my brain cleared up, and then I didn't respond to my own hands when I tried to control them.

"Ghost press**!" That's the first word that pops into my head, my whole body is like I can't move like I'm filled with lead, I can feel my muscles straining, but I just don't respond. I tried to adjust my breathing, and slowly, my eyes could open, and slowly, my neck could move gently, and the moment I turned to the right I noticed that there was another "person" in my room.

I'm not sure if it's a "person", but he was pushing a cup with the fat man, and I tried to call the fat man's name but my throat was choked, and I tried to remind him but couldn't.

I tried to control my body and slowly moved my head towards the ** head, and there was a water glass about ten centimeters away from my eyes. The distance of ten centimeters was probably the most tiring part of my life, and I tried to stretch my neck, and then stuck out my tongue again, and slowly made up inch by inch......

"Snap", the cup fell to the ground in response, and at that moment, a burst of excitement on the body was released, and the body that had been trying to control it for a long time immediately got a reaction, I turned over and stood up, and the sentence that had been held in my mouth for a long time suddenly rushed out: "Fatty, what the fuck are you doing!" ”

This roar was so loud that the dogs in our village were woken up by me almost at that moment and began to bark, and even my father turned on the flashlight to check the situation. But when I turned on the light, the fat man was lying on the table and sleeping, and the mess seemed to tell of the fierce battle in the first half of the night.

No one! Could it be that I was dazzled just now?

Wrong! I could clearly see a candle on the table where I was sitting, white, and the head of the candle was gone. Behind the candle was a pair of neatly arranged chopsticks, and I was sure I would never be able to do it when I was drunk.

"Hey, fat wake up!" I slapped the fat man's cheek hard, and the kid hummed twice in a daze and fell directly to the ground, and began to hula and fall asleep again.

The next morning for breakfast, I didn't mention the fat man about last night, but spoke first: "Xiaoyi, I drank too much yesterday and had a dream, and the dream was very clear." I forgot everything before and after drinking, but the dream felt like it had just happened, don't you think it's strange? ”

I was afraid that he would say the wrong thing in the first month, so I quickly interrupted: "There is a lot of, what is strange about dreaming." ”

"No, I dreamed that your uncle and grandfather came to me for a drink!" He also said to my father seriously: "Sixth uncle, he looks the same as the portrait, and he is in Xiaoyi's house." ”

"Did you dream of him?" I suddenly remembered the person I saw last night, and my eyes ...... So, did the fat man really drink with him last night?

"Really?" My father replied lightly: "Then drink it, as long as you don't make trouble." ”

"But I heard him tell me that his children were not filial, and he seemed to be crying, and after crying, he said that since they were born in the first place, they were not taught well, it is better to take them all away, what do you mean by this?"

I choked on a mouthful of porridge, this fat man really didn't say anything, I saw that my father's face was about to turn black, and just as I was about to have a seizure, someone shouted outside: "Sixth, sixth, something happened, and your cousin's house died last night......
