Chapter 34 The Tomb Paper Coffin
When I saw these two paper-tied coffins, I immediately thought of the owner of the coffin shop.
I was angry when I asked him to buy a coffin during the day, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet, this old thing has provoked itself.
Lao Liu saw the paper coffin at the door, and his face suddenly changed.
I have been in danger with Lao Liu many times, and he has never been surprised at everything, and now I have seen such a face.
I don't know why I pushed Lao Liu to ask:
"Lao Liu, what's wrong with you, it's rare to see your face become so ugly."
Lao Liu pierced the two paper coffins with his broken stick, and whispered:
"I didn't expect such a small place to have such things that hurt people's morals"
I looked at Lao Liu in surprise and asked:
"Lao Liu, isn't this just a broken coffin tied of two papers, what's the difference, and I don't think this craftsmanship is good."
Lao Liu glanced at me and said in a deep voice:
"Have you ever seen someone selling paper coffins, and these two paper coffins are very yin, as if they have accompanied the tomb?"
"Accompanied by the tomb?"
Lao Liu's words couldn't help but make me stunned, and continued to ask:
"You mean to say that these two paper coffins were dug up from the grave after use?"
Lao Liu nodded and said:
"Paper coffins are rare to accompany the tomb, and they need to be buried with the wooden coffin after death, the more unjust the owner dies, the greater the grievance, and the longer the burial time, the heavier the yin qi."
Lao Liu's words gave me goosebumps and said:
"During the day, I went to buy a coffin with Aunt Li's nephew, and I saw that the owner of the coffin shop was not a good person and quarreled with him for a few words, but I didn't expect him to play yin"
As I spoke, I raised my leg and kicked the two paper coffins away.
Lao Liu stretched out his hand to stop it.
"Don't move, this thing is unlucky, it's not just a matter of throwing it away"
After Lao Liu finished speaking, he asked me to find a cloth from the house and cover the two paper coffins and carry them to the yard.
"Lao Liu, just hug the yard and it's over? It's not a deal."
"There is no good way to deal with the paper coffin, the reason why it is not rotten in the tomb is that it is raised by yin, and it will rot by itself if it is put in the sun for two days"
"What if you don't dispose of this paper coffin?"
Lao Wu frowned and said in a cold voice:
"This thing is very yin, and it is particularly unlucky, if people lose their luck, they are not far from dying."
After Lao Liu said this, he entered the house with a heavy heart.
Originally, I thought that I had just figured out the secret of Guan Jun, and I could go back to the company tomorrow to have a showdown with Lao Wu, but at this time, there was a paper coffin to accompany the tomb, and now I have to wait for it to rot in two days at the earliest.
Early in the morning, Lao Liu asked me to take him to the coffin shop to meet the owner.
On the way to the coffin shop, we happened to meet Aunt Li's funeral procession.
Li Gang walked in front of the team, followed by a five or six-year-old girl beside him.
The little girl didn't cry, she kept looking at me with wide eyes as she passed me, and she kept looking back until the procession passed.
Not long after, Lao Liu and I arrived at the coffin shop in Madong, the entrance of the village.
The gate was open, and the courtyard was neatly lined with four coffins and some paper figures.
Lao Liu has been frowning since he entered the courtyard, and I asked worriedly:
"Lao Liu, do you see what's wrong?"
Lao Liu didn't speak, and stepped into the house.
The room is not large, and when you enter the door, there is a warehouse full of wreaths and shrouds, and there is a door on the left, which is presumably the bedroom of the owner.
I was in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't pay attention to it, and in the corner of such a not spacious cargo hall, there was still a black coffin with a lid.
This black coffin is very different from the other four in the courtyard, and the size is a few centimeters longer than the ordinary coffin. The coffin was also full of strange patterns.
I was just about to get closer to see it, when Lao Liu tugged on my arm from behind.
I turned my head and was about to complain, when I suddenly found the coffin shop owner standing in the doorway staring at the two of us.
"Yo, isn't this the little brother who came yesterday, what's the matter, buy something?"
This boss has thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and his eyebrows will jump from time to time with his expression when he speaks, which makes people very uncomfortable.
I replied angrily:
"Come to settle the score, you didn't put that paper coffin last night?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper put on an innocent expression and smiled:
"Little brother, you're kidding, my family is all wooden coffins where the dead live, where did the paper coffins come from, and who are they sold to?"
I was just about to open my mouth to scold, Lao Liu waved his hand, stared at the shopkeeper and said:
"The paper coffin accompanying the tomb is harmful to people's morality, if you don't want to die too miserably, stop it"
With that, Lao Liu stepped out of the house.
Seeing Lao Liu go first, I hurriedly followed, and when I turned around and left the house, I turned around and glared at the shopkeeper, and it was this glance that I seemed to see the black coffin in the corner of the wall and moved!
Out of the door, Lao Liu just lowered his head and walked forward, I chased after him and asked:
"Lao Liu, that's right, he put the paper coffin last night"
Lao Liu shook his head and said.
"He doesn't have yin qi on him, he didn't put it"
"Didn't he put it?"
Lao Liu's words were completely unexpected to me.
The owner of this shop has a bad guy written on his face, isn't it who he will be?
Lao Liu didn't explain to me in detail, but just said that he would have to come again when he had time.
On the way to the village chief's house, I passed by the big weeping willow again, and happened to meet the old lady surnamed Guan who stayed for the first night of our stay.
The old lady walked back with her head bowed and a bulging sack on her back.
I always thought that this old lady was lonely and pitiful, but since listening to the introduction of the village chief, I can no longer mention the slightest good impression of her.
The old lady didn't look up at the two of us, turned a corner at the fork and went home.
The village chief was very happy to hear that the two of us would leave in two days, and specially added a few stir-fried vegetables in the evening.
After three rounds of drinking, it was already dark, and we chatted and watched TV.
Suddenly, I heard someone outside the gate shouting loudly to the village chief, and after a while, a man entered the house, sweating profusely, and said to the village chief:
"Oh no, the village chief, Uncle Zhang in the west of the village also had an accident"
As soon as the village chief's wine glass was raised, he instantly took off his hand.
"What's going on, tell me clearly?"
"Uncle Zhang went to the warehouse at night to get something, and it seems that he was also bitten by a snake, which will make people angry"
When the village chief heard this, he hurriedly went down to the ground and ran to Old Man Zhang's house.
We went to Zhang's house to have a look.
This old man is really the same as Aunt Li's death, leaving two neat small tooth marks under his right ear.
Everyone in the house was busy, and someone in the courtyard overheard a sentence:
"Where did this paper coffin come from?"
When I heard the words of Lao Liu, I hurriedly ran out to see that there was really a small paper coffin on the cabinet in the warehouse.
And this paper coffin is the same one I saw at my door last night, a paper coffin with the tomb!
Aunt Li's nephew Li Gang was also present, and when he saw the paper coffin, he said in surprise:
"I saw this in my warehouse yesterday, I thought it was from the owner of the coffin shop?"
Paper coffins appeared in both murders, and the villagers present looked panicked when they heard this.
After dawn, Lao Liu suddenly went to the old lady's house in the west of the village mysteriously.
I didn't ask much and followed.
The day was no better than the night, and I became bolder, and when I came into the courtyard, I leaned on the window and looked into the house, and found that the old lady was actually sleeping.
Generally, the work and rest time of the elderly are relatively regular, and there are really a few people who haven't gotten up at ten o'clock in the morning like the old lady.
Lao Liu also glanced along the window, and when he went out of the yard, I asked Lao Liu curiously:
"Lao Liu, what's so nice about this old lady sleeping?"
Lao Liu said meaningfully:
"Didn't you see that she slept with her clothes on, I went to the village to teach the Zhang family and the Li family to dry paper coffins, you will remember to come again later"
I nodded inexplicably.
After lunch, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Liu went to the village to deal with the paper coffin, and I went to the old lady's house in the west of the village according to his instructions.
Strangely, the old lady was still sleeping.
I wondered: I had been sleeping all morning, did she have insomnia last night?
On the way back, I saw a lot of villagers gathered together and talking about something in a panic, so I leaned over and listened.
This frightened me, since last night, in one day, five families in the village have found paper coffins!
At first, it was found that one person had died in each of the two families in the paper coffin, which could not help but panic everyone.
Lao Liu was even busier, and personally went to the homes of each household that found the paper coffin to direct the treatment.
Soon it will be another day.
When night fell, Lao Liu hadn't eaten dinner yet. He dragged me out.
I asked inexplicably:
"Lao Liu, tell me where to go first?"
Lao Liu said in a low voice with a straight face:
"Old Lady's House"
This was the third time in the day that she had come to the old lady's house, and the previous two times she had been sleeping.
This has made me feel bored and lose interest.
I leaned against the haystack and yawned, just about to close my eyes and squint for a moment.
Lao Liu pushed me on the side and whispered:
"Look"
I got up and looked over, and saw that the old lady had finally pushed the door open.
The old lady was still dressed in the same clothes as she had slept during the day, and she carried a sack behind her and hurried down the hillside to the west.
Before I could open my mouth to ask, Lao Liu spoke first.
"Do you remember what the village chief said, this old lady is not in good spirits and loves to go to the mountain to dig up graves?"
I nodded with wide eyes and asked in a low voice:
"Remember, I also ate the meat she cooked, could it be that she went up the mountain to pick up the grave to find meat to eat?"
Lao Liu shook his head and said:
"I asked the village chief, and only two people died in the village recently, and this old lady also went up the mountain on weekdays, so I guess I didn't look for meat."
As she spoke, the old lady had bypassed the big weeping willow at the fork in the village road.
Lao Liu and I didn't dare to delay, so we quickly caught up.
Following along the way, the old lady finally came to a mass grave.
However, these mounds are all old graves, and some are even deserted graves without even tombstones.
The owners of these graves have long been rotted into a pile of bones, and the old lady is not looking for meat, so what is he doing digging the graves?
Lao Wu and I continued to watch secretly, and it didn't take long for the old lady to finally dig up a grave bag and take out something from it.
I craned my neck as far as I could, trying to see the thing.
It's nothing else, it's the people who have been making trouble in the past few days who are panicking, accompanying the tomb paper coffin!
Lao Liu saw the paper coffin, nodded and whispered:
"Sure enough, I guessed it!"
I also suddenly said:
"It turns out that this paper coffin is really not the ghost of the coffin shop owner, it was all dug up by this old lady, so why did she send this paper coffin door to door?"
Lao Liu shook his head and said something that shocked me very much.
"In addition to her and the coffin shop owner, there is also a person in the village who is responsible for delivering paper coffins!"
