Uncle Liao gives the impression that he is honest and wooden, and he rarely talks and chats with people, but as long as he is with me, he will talk more.

In addition, Uncle Liao has a habit of bringing his own dishes and chopsticks every time he goes to eat, and he says that his hands often touch the patient's body, so it is not clean and annoying.

Later, I built a house at home, and there was no place to stay during the day, so Uncle Liao would beckon me to go to him at home, and since he broke my family's fortune interception feng shui bureau, he became much more famous, so he was much busier than before.

It didn't take long for me to experience a strange situation firsthand.

But that business was not taken by Uncle Liao, but by Aunt Ma.

During Uncle Liao's "hibernation", Aunt Ma was the only witch in our village, and everyone around her asked her to do something strange, but this time Aunt Ma encountered a "hurdle".

A 78-year-old man in a neighboring village died, and his children couldn't wear the ingots on their right feet after buying back their shrouds.

Aunt Ma knew that she couldn't do it on her own, so she asked Uncle Liao to "help".

I'm okay anyway, I begged Uncle Liao to take me with me, he thought about it carefully and said, "The place of the dead is full of yin qi, so you better not go." ”

"Uncle Liao, just take me, it's okay at home, I'll learn some skills from you." Relying on Uncle Liao to like me, I followed his skinless and faceless begging.

He was not good at words, so he could only smile and smile after holding back for a long time: "Then you can't talk nonsense when you go, do you have to listen to me?" ”

My heart blossomed and said, "Done." ”

Then the two of us went to the neighboring village and saw the deceased old man in the mourning hall.

He was small, dark-skinned, his whole head was not much bigger than an adult's fist, he had a long mustache on his pointed chin, and his face resembled that of a rat.

The old man was wearing a blue satin longevity suit, with a good ingots on his left foot and a cloud sock on his right foot.

The master circled around the front and back of the spiritual bed, and then picked up the ingots and compared them with his feet.

The shoes are indeed bigger than the feet, but they can't be worn anyway, so I only heard a woman in her forties say to Aunt Ma impatiently outside the mourning hall: "I would have known that I would like to invite the Taoist priest of Dongpu Village, can you do it?" Is the old man still waiting to go to the graveyard? ”

Aunt Ma said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, it should be almost." After that, he entered the room and asked the master, "Master Liao, what do you think about this?" ”

Uncle Liao didn't speak, glanced outside the mourning hall and whispered, "Aunt Ma, we can only stare at this matter." After that, he quietly took off the sock on the old man's right foot, and saw that a long black nail had grown on his toe, and the nail was sharp and sharp.

"This, this is going to make trouble......" Without waiting for Aunt Ma to speak, Uncle Liao hurriedly signaled her to silence and said: "This matter is more complicated than you think, it's not just as simple as a corpse." After that, he invited the woman into the house and said, "Eldest sister, I think it is best for the old man to be cremated after his death." With that, he took out three sticks of incense, lit them, and inserted them in front of the old man's body.

The incense on the right burned significantly faster than the other two, and Uncle Liao said, "Have you seen it, old man, this is ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, the woman interrupted him fiercely and said, "You people know that you pretend to be gods and tricks people out of money, and you let us burn our old man with fire, isn't this just making us unfilial descendants?" People from all over the country know about this, will our family still have the face to stay here in the future? If you don't have the ability, just say it, don't come up with bad ideas there. ”

Before she finished speaking, the master closed the wooden door of the mourning hall, and the woman suddenly became nervous, and subconsciously took a half step back and said, "You, what do you want to do?" I warn you two, my family ......"

"Sister, don't get me wrong, I just want you to understand why the old man must be cremated." After that, the master dug up some mud and sealed all the light transmission places on the door, and without light, the spiritual hall suddenly became gloomy, and even the temperature dropped a lot.

Uncle Liao took out a piece of white wax as thick as a human arm from his bag and said: "This is a butter candle, I will light it now, but there may be strange phenomena after this candle is lit, I just hope that the three of you will not make a noise anyway, okay?" ”

Aunt Ma and I both answered honestly, and the woman snorted disdainfully, looking at the beams with her hands folded.

Uncle Liao put the candle in the north corner of the house, lit it and blew out the rest of the candles, a little light could only illuminate a corner of the room, and the rest of the huge mourning hall, including the old man's body, all sank into the darkness.

Uncle Liao took us into the corner of the room and blocked us in front of us, at first there was no movement, but with the "squeak" of two rats, I saw the old man's thin little head like a dry corpse quietly break through the darkness and appear in the dim candle flame.

I was stiff, and the woman gasped and blocked her mouth with her hand so that she didn't make a sound.

I saw the old man's little head and eyes widen and round, moving slowly from left to right, as if searching for something, and every time his dry and dull eyes swept over my face, my skin twitched.

It was a long time before the terrible face receded from the candlelight, and then there was a soft sound of Kerala in the darkness.

Uncle Liao hurriedly opened the wooden door, and the yin qi in the room where the sunlight penetrated was suddenly eliminated, and the temperature increased a lot.

Seeing the old man's body lying motionless on the wooden plank, Uncle Liao walked to his feet and said to the woman, "Sister, look at the soles of your socks." ”

I saw that the white cloud socks were stained with a lot of dust, and it was obvious that the old man who had died just now had gone to the ground.

"This, this, you ......" the woman was speechless.

Uncle Liao said: "I take the liberty of asking, what kind of work did the old man do during his lifetime?" ”

"It's the head of the village." The relatives were vague in their answers.

"Is the old man's usual financial situation good? For example, are there any jewelry, antiques or anything like that? ”

"My father's poor jingle mountain sounds, where did these things come from, I won't tell you, the money for his medical treatment and funeral is all made up by our five children, except for a broken grass house, he has left us nothing. Master, what do you mean by asking? The woman's tone softened a lot.

Uncle Liao frowned and thought for a long time: "In this case, it is inconvenient for me to disturb, you have also seen the situation, how to deal with your family to discuss it, but I can definitely say that even if you are not cremated today, it will not be long before you are cremated, but it may hurt people when it comes to that point, and this is not what your children think." "Take me with you.

Aunt Ma followed and said, "Master Liao, what's going on, you have to talk to me." ”

Uncle Liao smiled and said: "You can also see that the old man is obviously about to change his body, if he has to bury the soil, let alone the local area, even our village will be in big trouble." ”

"But what do you mean by asking them about their family's financial situation?"

Uncle Liao opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he said, "Forget it, this is people's privacy, so I won't talk nonsense." ”

However, before we could go far, the old man's eldest son caught up with us, and he thanked Uncle Liao again and again, but his purple face vaguely revealed a trace of uneasiness, Uncle Liao said: "I said the solution, believe it or not, you are not with me." ”

"I didn't come to Mr. Big for this, but I want to know if you have any explanation for asking my father what he does?"

"Of course there are statements, but you may not believe them, so it's better not to say them."

The middle-aged man walked around to the master in a few steps and said: "Mr. Big, please stay, I don't know what my father did before his death, but I heard my father say when I was a child, he went out with the army to fight devils at the age of fifteen, my father is a person with military merits, and it stands to reason that an old revolutionary should not suffer this retribution." ”

Uncle Liao suddenly realized: "I see. ”

The tip of the middle-aged man's nose was sweating and said, "Mr. Big, you must tell me, what is going on with the old man?" ”

"Your old man is a ground mouse." As soon as Master said this, everyone present was immediately stunned.
