It is said that immediately after death, people put their heads and feet down, naked and upside down in the soil, can suffocate the soul of the dead, and never be able to live forever. In order to continue the incense, no matter what to do, the old sheepskin will not hesitate to keep his children and grandchildren, otherwise once Wong Tai Sin comes to the door, the descendants of the sheep family must have no way to live......

After the old sheepskin finished speaking, he hugged his son and cried, there was a great sadness of life and death, where have we heard of this kind of evil and crooked things, my grandfather has dealt with feng shui tombs all his life, and the "Burial Sutra" can be memorized backwards, but I have not even heard him mention this kind of strange custom of eight feet on the ground and naked corpses being buried upside down, and the old sheepskin said solemnly, it seems that the situation has reached a very strict point out of control, and we don't know what to do for a while.

I discussed with the fat man and Ding Sitian on the side, first of all, even if the old weasel can harm people, it can't have the magic power of the heavens and the earth, and we don't believe that people will be reincarnated after death, and we think that we should stop the irrational behavior of the old sheepskin, if you really die and bury it at home for seven days and seven nights before digging it out, then even the death certificate is not easy to open.

But then we took into account, the old sheepskin family is convinced of this, in case the old sheepskin really has three long and two short today, after all, we are outsiders, then this responsibility is too great, it is better to temporarily promise him, so that he can recuperate with peace of mind, and then hurry to Qili to ask a doctor to diagnose and treat his condition, this is a delaying strategy, although it is not good to deceive people, but there is no problem with the motive.

So we said in unison that we had agreed to the last wish of the old sheepskin, so that although he could rest assured, he would do as he was told. Unexpectedly, the old sheepskin forced everyone to swear curses and swear, and we had no choice but to swear to him again and again, and at the same time said in our hearts: "Don't count, don't count, don't count......

I tried to find an opportunity to sneak out and find a doctor in the flag, but the old sheepskin kept an eye on us, and repeatedly told him the details of his death, until he was sure that everyone had indeed understood it, and suddenly his eyes rolled and he kicked his legs and swallowed.

The old sheepskin died very suddenly, and everyone didn't react for a while, and when they understood what was going on, they found that there was no way to save it. No one was able to return to the sky, and everyone was sad, so they could only let out a loud cry and cry for a long time, and the son of the old sheepskin begged us educated youth to help take care of the aftermath, and as soon as he was in charge, he handled it according to the last words of the old sheepskin.

This time the three of us were in a dilemma, and we wanted to delay going to the doctor to treat the old sheepskin, but he said without warning and left, we felt the impermanence of human life for the first time, and now, we have to act according to his last words, after all, death is great, which is also a kind of respect for the wishes of the deceased.

The fat man and I endured our grief and dug a grave under the yurt, and then undressed the body and buried it, so that no outsiders should be present.

The pastoral area is already sparsely populated, and few outsiders arrive, except for the three of us educated youths, plus the son and daughter-in-law of the old sheepskin, no one else knows about it, so they can only endure the spirit first, and wait for seven days to pass, and then officially collect the body of the old sheepskin.

The fat man and Ding Sitian and I were in a very heavy mood, and the poor middle peasant and old sheepskin who had been getting along day and night for a few days actually said that they would leave, how could a person be so light from birth to death? Things suddenly made people a little unacceptable to this reality, sitting on the grass knoll not far from the yurt, looking at the boundless grassland, his heart was empty, as if someone had cut something with a knife, Ding Sitian cried into tears, and his eyes were like rotten peaches.

The fat man and I couldn't persuade her, until Ding Sitian couldn't cry anymore, so he sat silently on the grass knoll in a daze, and the three of them looked at each other speechlessly, in a trance, until the evening, the old sheepskin's daughter-in-law opened a meal and beckoned everyone to eat, but no one had the heart to eat and drink, and waited until the evening to sit around in another yurt to keep vigil.

We remember that the old sheepskin said that there will be a yellow skin to mourn tonight, no matter what strange things happen, ignore it, although this thing is very unreliable, but we are still inevitably a little uneasy in our hearts, no one can be sure that there will be an accident in the night. Ding Sitian was tired of crying, and fell asleep with crystal tears on his face, while the fat man and I sat cross-legged, listening to the wind and grass outside.

The fat man asked me: "I always feel that it is very inappropriate to bury the old sheepskin in this way, his old man must be sick and confused, and his brain is burned out.

I nodded and said: "I can't approve of this way of burying the dead upside down naked corpses, I haven't heard of this kind of precedent since ancient times, but you must know that this person died like a lamp going out, no matter whether the old sheepskin said nonsense before he died, after all, we were born and died together, and we were comrades-in-arms, if we didn't agree to his last wish at that time, I am afraid he would die with deep regret, which we don't want to see, right?"

I discussed with the fat man for a while, purely salty and eating radish lightly, and finally thought, according to the old sheepskin dying instructions to be buried, this is also the meaning of the old sheepskin family, we have no qualifications to interfere too much, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, one side of the people also have their own way of life, China is so big, there must be many folk old-fashioned customs that we do not understand, although theoretically should criticize this crooked way, but some things can still be flexible, anyway, only seven days, It's not too late to hold a memorial service in a regular way after seven days, as long as the five of us keep it a secret, how can outsiders know? As long as it doesn't get out, it shouldn't be a big problem.

We sighed and remembered the life of the old sheepskin, and felt that he lacked a kind of rebellious spirit in his bones, and lived in a nest all his life, and he had to arrange his own aftermath in this way, I don't know if this is sad or pitiful, anyway, people feel that it is not a taste in their hearts when they think about it.

I waited until the second half of the night, and suddenly there was a sad wind outside the tent, and the whimpering wind became tighter and tighter, and there was a muffled thunder in the sky from time to time, and the nerves of me and the fat man immediately tensed. I only heard the thunder gradually increasing, and the thunder exploded one after another, Ding Sitian was also awakened from the dream by the thunder, wiping the tears on her face, looking very panicked, I waved my hand at her, signaling not to worry, I can't hear it if I plug my ears.

But there is not much rain on the grassland, and now it is the time of the winter famine, this thunder is really abnormal, we wanted to wait and see what happens, but the thunder seems to be around us to smash down, people really can't sit still, have to go outside to check, see the sky black clouds are thick, lightning in the yurt where the old sheepskin is buried.

When the old sheepskin's son saw this, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and I held him up and asked what was the matter.

The son of the old sheepskin was clumsy and clumsy, and it took him a long time to make his words clear, it turned out that he felt that it was too inappropriate to strip off the old sheepskin and bury it in the crypt, this is not the way of the Son of Man, it is too unfilial, how can he treat his own father like this? If this matter spreads out in the future, he will never be able to raise his head and be a man, so he thought of a compromise solution, wrapped the body in a layer of white silk, and then buried it in an upside down hole under his head and feet.

The fat man and I looked at each other, and we both felt strange, what is the big deal about wrapping a layer of white silk on the corpse, and it can't provoke such a big thunderstorm, and look at the thunder and lightning, what is this going to split?

Everyone asked me what I should do now, this thunder continues to fight like this, something will definitely happen, but this matter has exceeded what I know and heard, how do I know what to do, but the fat man came up with an idea and said: "Is it the old sheepskin blame his son for his disobedience, this is a warning to us, or hurry up and dig up the soil again, and remove the white silk that wrapped the corpse for him." Try it anyway, what if it works-

The son of the old sheepskin is the most unassertive, his ears are very soft, he listened to what the fat man said, and he even slapped himself, he must have not followed the last words, he missed the slightest mistake, and he was thousands of miles away, and he didn't know if it was too late to remedy it now, but there was no other way, and now he could only hurry to the yurt to dig up the corpse.

We risked being struck by lightning, and hurriedly picked up our shovels to dig the grave that had just been buried that afternoon, and the thunder weakened halfway through the digging, but it still made a dull rumbling sound from time to time in the clouds.

The muffled thunder over the grassland came and went, and the son of the old sheepskin took me and the fat man to work together to dig out the body of the old sheepskin again, and buried it eight feet in the ground, and it took a lot of effort to dig it up again, but under the urging thunder, we did not dare to delay for half a minute, and it didn't take much effort, and a layer of white silk had been exposed in the pit.
