All Chapters_Chapter 48 Soul Hook
"Jiaolong, why are you back? ,β
I was standing at the door, and my grandmother looked at me with a surprised look on her face, and walked quickly in front of me, "Didn't you say that you should stay in the hospital with your sister-in-law for a few more days?" β
"My sister-in-law is in a hurry. Said he was going to come back to give grandma a ride. I replied, looking at my grandmother and hugging her arms, "Grandma, I was chilled when I saw the black and white photo of my grandmother." β
Grandma frowned and took my hand, "Follow me into the house, you are a granddaughter, you have to wear filial piety." β
On the way back to the house, many relatives looked at me, and they said to each other, "This is Cuifang's granddaughter." β
"yes. It's been many years and I've seen it for the first time. β
"Didn't you say that you can't live long if you're sick, how strong it looks like."
I didn't recognize them, so I felt uncomfortable for people to talk about in the back, so I had to follow my grandmother to speed up my pace and hurry into our house, after entering the house. Grandma used a white cloth to make a dress like a vest for me to wear, I looked at the clothes and frowned, "Grandma, I don't want to wear this." "Fork the hell.
"If you don't wear it, you'll be fine." Grandma said, as if she had something on her mind, took a bag she was carrying, took out a triangular red rune paper from it, and put it around my neck. Then tuck it into your clothes, "Don't let anyone else see it." β
I nodded, "What are you wearing this for?" β
Grandma looked at me, "Your grandma is in a hurry, I'm afraid she won't be willing." You're in the house when you're out of the funeral for a while, and I'm telling you to go out, you're going out, don't look around, you know. β
I said 'um' and watched my grandmother open the door and call my father's name.
Dad answered and walked over. "Mom, the soul is back, the portrait has to be held by Qiaoqiao when the funeral is done in the afternoon, she is the eldest granddaughter."
"How can I let my granddaughter hold the statue." Grandma exited directly and looked at her father, "You take the statue, except for Jiaolong when you burn the big paper at night, don't let her go when you go to the funeral." β
"It's not good if you don't go, doesn't it mean that your children and grandchildren have to be sent." Dad looked at Grandma with some puzzlement.
Grandma glanced at me, and then looked at my father, "It's not that you don't know that Jiaolong's body is different from others, it's not good for her to send it to your mother, just send it when you burn the big paper, I'll say more, don't let your eldest sister talk nonsense when the time comes." β
Dad nodded, "If it's not good for my mother, then I don't think my eldest sister can say anything, Mom, the ashes will be brought back directly after being sent to the crematorium." β
Grandma snorted, "I have to bring it back today, wrap it in a red cloth, and wait for me to find a good place, and I will be buried at an auspicious time, don't you want to find a good place, then you can't be in a hurry, okay, let's go and work on the sacrifice first." β
"Hey, okay." Dad answered, raised his feet and left, and grandma immediately glanced at me, "Jiaolong, grandma is busy in the morning, I can't take care of you, don't go to your grandma's side yourself, do you know." β
I nodded, "Hmm." With that, Grandma also hurriedly walked out.
The white things in the city are not too different from ours, when I was in the village, my grandmother presided over people, so I know the general process, when the funeral is to directly carry the coffin to the dug grave and bury it, and then burn the big paper at the intersection at night even if it is completely sent away.
Burning big paper is to burn some paper people, paper horses, and paper houses, paper cars, paper money, etc., so that the people who go have money to spend below, and some people make it, and the men go to burn the horses, and the women go to the cows, saying that the women are not clean because of the menstrual period in their lives, so they often waste water, and when they go below, there is a level to let the women drink all the water they have wasted in their lives, so they have to send a cow down to help the women drink water, which is not a crime.
There were a lot of people in the yard that day, I listened to my grandmother's words, and I didn't make do with it, and I saw from a distance that my sister-in-law had been kneeling in front of the desk, crying in the dark, Uncle Zhuo came to help her, and she didn't get up, as if she wanted Uncle Zhuo to leave her alone, and then Uncle Zhuo left helplessly, and then, the sister-in-law kept kneeling there and crying.
Because I was numb when I saw the posthumous image, I always felt that something was wrong, so I looked at it a few more times, but when the sister-in-law knelt down and kowtowed, I actually vaguely saw a hand on her head, which startled me, and kept rubbing my eyes, and then I wanted to take a closer look, and the hand was gone.
I was a little hairy, hurry up to find Zhuo Jing, I can see clearly with him, Zhuo Jing is staying in his room, still holding a book in his hand to read, seeing me open the door stunned for a moment, "Black monkey, you won't knock on the door." β
"Come out with me." I pointed outside, "There's something, I can't see clearly." β
He shook his head, "It's not suitable for me to show up more on this kind of occasion, there are shadows." β
"Don't, it won't scare you, there are people outside, what are you afraid of, just stay by my side and accompany me for a while." I was a little anxious, wondering what was going on with the hand I was seeing.
He looked at me, but pulled the corner of his mouth, "You are afraid, you want me to accompany you." β
"No, I didn't see something clearly, I don't know if I was wrong!" I said it again.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, shook his head, and looked at me with a mysterious expression: "You can't be mistaken, if you see something, it's ...... Ghost, if you're afraid, go to your grandma. β
I was angry, "I'm busy, I'm just asking you to accompany me to take a look, don't forget it!" "After that, I turned around and left, who is it, it's not that I want you to do anything.
"Forget it, I'll accompany you, if I get sick, you'll be responsible." He said behind me, put the book aside, and walked out with me.
But when I went out, the soul sister-in-law had already stood up, she followed the heart of the aunt, the two of them wiped their tears next to the spirit shed, I looked carefully at the portrait on the desk, but I didn't find any hands, and then looked at the soul sister-in-law, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, I really saw it wrong?
Zhuo Jing touched me next to him, "Alas, black monkey, look at the statue if it blinks." β
I looked over, there was nothing but the feeling of a stinging sensation, and I shook my head, "I didn't see it, you saw it." β
He also shook his head, "I didn't see it." "I'm a yin-yang person:
"I didn't see what you said." I was speechless and glanced at him, "Don't you scare people there, blink in a photo, it's just that the eyes are really moving, it's also dazzling, go back." β
"Your grandmother, I didn't see blinking just now, but when I was a child, when a relative of my family was in a car accident, I saw the statue blinking on the day of the funeral."
He followed me and said lightly, "I thought I was wrong, but as a result, I was sick for more than a month, and I was still favored by the deceased feng shui master, do you know what he said." β
"What do you say?"
"He said that when people go out of the funeral, especially those who die unwillingly, they will be unwilling, so they want to take one away, take your soul away, and go to the underworld to accompany them." He deliberately spoke in a very low tone, and I felt chills all over my body listening to it.
I glared at him, "You scared me?!" β
He spread his hands, "Believe it or not, I was almost hooked away anyway, warn you to stay away, your grandmother won't hook you away at that time." "βI'm a yin-yang personββ ββ
