After hearing my words, Li Meiyan's aunt replied: "Don't worry, we have also participated in some funerals, and we are already familiar with these rules." ”

Indeed, what I am talking about is not new, and there are rules for ordinary funerals, and those who have participated in it will know it.

At this time, the son of Li Meiyan's uncle, who was wearing filial piety clothes, greeted a few strong men sitting next to him, "Brothers, I'm in trouble tonight, drink and play cards here!"

"You're welcome, we'll do these things, it's not the first time!" a few strong men didn't have to do it for the first time, and they replied one after another.

Because according to custom, the deceased's family had to give these coffins, as well as me, a Taoist priest, a good meal, and Li Meiyan was the niece of the deceased, so she also stayed that night.

After eating, I said to Li Meiyan: "Later, you will ask your cousin to make a brazier in the mourning hall, and you will give me a rest, staying up late is not what a girl should do." ”

The purpose of making a brazier is to increase the temperature of the mourning hall, after all, if a dead person is placed here in the mourning hall, the surroundings will become extremely cold, and the yin qi will be strong, if the person who is not in good health stays for a long time, he will leave the root of the disease.

Besides, staying up late is not good for girls, and I am also for Li Meiyan's good.

After I got Li Meiyan to rest in the back room, I took a chair with a backrest and stood next to the coffin, and the eight people who carried the coffin sat at the door and played cards.

Even if there is someone who is not afraid of death, isn't there still me in the end? Whoever dares to come, just give him a package that is scattered.

It only takes one night, and after dawn, the coffin is lifted into the earth and the soil is buried.

What I have to do is to be a guide, guide him on the right path to the underworld to report, and then chant a scripture to wash away the glitz of his body, and at the last moment let the children kowtow and bow down to thank the deceased for his contribution in this life, so that the deceased will not leave regrets to reincarnate and start the next life.

The light in the mourning hall is bright, and you can clearly see it inside and out, and the sound of the men playing cards may be a little disturbing to the people, but it is also essential, this sound is to remind the lonely ghosts passing by that the people of this family can't touch it!

Everyone also knows it, although there are some complaints in their hearts, but they will not openly put forward their opinions, after all, the deceased is big, just understand more, and then say what will happen in the future, in case your own family also dies, it may be more exaggerated, now understand more, maybe it will be back in the future.

It was supposed to end smoothly, but in the evening something went wrong......

Towards midnight, I sat down in my chair and fell asleep, quietly distantly distancing myself from my hearing. So that even in the mourning hall, I can monitor the movement outside.

This has made me hear a lot of secret words in the room, it's not that I have a habit of eavesdropping on other people's secrets, I don't take precautions!

Suddenly the voices of the neighbors came to his ears, and an old man asked his wife, "Shufen, did you put the cat in the cat cage?"

"It's off, you can stay in it alive. The old woman replied.

"That's good, although this sounds very evil, but we can't believe it, in case our cat lets Lao Li Tou cheat the corpse, then our family will be in trouble. You little brute, don't scream, I'll lock you up for the night. Tomorrow you can wave whatever you want!"

"What is evil? This is the funeral taboo handed down in ancient times, which funeral is like this, I think you are old and confused, hurry up and sleep, and give Lao Li Tou a funeral tomorrow morning!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile, this old couple is really interesting.

I continued to listen to the movement outside, and in my ears came a young couple's ......

"Husband, the mahjong playing next door is too loud, how can people sleep!" Compared with the understanding between the old people, the young man was very impatient, and the wife of this family complained to her man.

"You just bear with it, Uncle Li next door is dead, and it's not like this every day, it's just one night, and it will pass with a little patience. The man's voice sounded quite complaining, but he was very clear-headed, and he persuaded his wife with good words.

"Boil, how do you boil? Look at what time it is, and there are still six or seven hours in the morning, why did I marry such a useless man as you. I can't bear it anymore, I have to talk to them and say, even if the dead are doing funerals, they can't rest in the streets, if they don't listen to the old lady, they will call the police, anyway, I will take care of it. ”

Then the man stopped talking, and it seemed that he acquiesced to his woman coming out to negotiate.

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, and for some reason my heart began to get nervous, and I always felt that this woman was going to be bad.

Just thinking about it, she shouted from the window next door, "Alas, next door, can you take it easy, make the sound quieter, we have to rush to the city center to work, you play mahjong so loudly, how can we rest!"

These coffin bearers have not been once or twice, they have done a lot of funerals, and no one has ever dared to complain out loud, so they couldn't help but be a little stunned, and looked at the woman.

"Sister, this is the rule, it's not that we deliberately want to disturb you to rest, if you don't understand, just ask your grandparents, they should know. One of the coffin bearers smiled at the woman's ignorance, and then replied lightly.

At this time, the son of the deceased who was in charge of the vigil hurriedly came out to play a round, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm noisy to you, my dad will be buried tomorrow morning, I hope you will bear more." After speaking, he bowed very sincerely and apologized.

"I know that Uncle Li is dead, and I will go out for the funeral tomorrow morning, but you are playing mahjong at the door, and the noise is very loud, can't you go to the house? I have to go to work tomorrow, and if I can't make it, I will be deducted from the money, and you will pay for this labor?" the woman Nunu complained to the son of the family.

"A few big brothers, then look, can we go in and play cards?" Li Meiyan's uncle's son looked at the other party and really refused to give in, so he looked at a few coffin bearers with some embarrassment and asked.

"Little brother, it's not that we don't go in, and you don't look at what time it is, it's cold and swishing in the middle of the night, do you think that the eight of us are stuck at the door because we are full? We are willing to play cards here in the cold? This is all particular, you just let her call, see if other people have a big opinion of her or us, continue to play cards!"
