Chapter 5 Shihao Seeks Blood Toad
After a few days, Zhou Shihao's complexion changed, "You're almost fine, I'll go back" I looked at Zhou Shihao who was drinking porridge. "Brother, stay with me one more night, just one night. Zhou Shihao's face was full of pleading. Well, I didn't say it and just nodded. This kid is so timid, I must exercise him well if he has kung fu. I meditated in my heart.
The autumn night is very quiet, and occasionally I can hear the locust leaves at the door of Zhou Shihao, and after a few months, I am used to reading ancient scrolls before going to bed, and I feel a little sleepy and sleepy.
Wow...... When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be a dream, and the scary thing was that it had already appeared twice in my dream. In my dream, it was still the white dragon, or the beam, as if it was trying to reveal something to me. Every time the white dragon was about to speak, I would wake up. I don't know if it's joy or sorrow, I don't think about it, I said goodbye to Zhou Shihao after breakfast and set foot on the way home.
There was a man running in front of him, Gao Chen! Why is he here, at this time he ran over out of breath. "Three guns, I'm looking for you," his right hand gripped my left wrist. "You kid no longer works in the crematorium, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" I looked confused. "I want you to be a coffin," he looked at me with a puzzled expression. "How can an acquaintance die?" he touched his hair, "Hey, don't mention it, the body of one of my distant cousins was dug up" "And this kind of thing? It can't be another marriage with a yin, right?" "Hey, because it shouldn't be, when I found my cousin's corpse, it looked like a dried corpse, with no blood on his body, and a hole in his chest, as if he had been bitten by some wild beast"|" Take me to see it" I've always liked to deal with these anecdotes. "Look at it, it's been cremated this morning" Gao Chen's face was full of doubt.
I took Gao Chen home, I pointed to the many coffins, "Come and see, pick one for your cousin" "Wait a minute, don't worry, my cousin will be there soon" A short and thin person walked in slowly, his face full of helplessness and sadness, I can understand, as the old saying goes, if you go into the ground, you will be safe, and the grave digger will cut off her children and grandchildren. "This is my cousin," Gao Chen stretched out his right palm and pointed at the man. I nodded politely to him. "Can you remake a new one, I want that lotus style," the man's voice was very small, the so-called lotus-style coffin refers to the whole coffin standing upright to look like a lotus flower, the coffin is arched, and the coffin lid and the bottom of the coffin are in the shape of three. "Yes, it will take a day." "I'll pick it up tomorrow" After speaking, the man motioned for Gao Chen to go back, "Three guns, then let's go back first" Gao Chen nodded politely to me.
Sending them away, he shook his head secretly, hey, that kind of coffin is only used by ancient people, not to mention that it is a little troublesome to make, there is no way Since the customer opened the golden mouth, no matter how difficult it is, it must be done. After choosing the wood for the coffin, I got busy. After a day of clanging, it was finally completed.
I dialed Gao Chen's phone, "The coffin is ready, come and get it" A few people came after a while. A middle-aged man, with slightly high cheekbones and a fierce face full of evil spirits, I saw him walk up to my side and motioned for me to go in, I wanted to add another coffin, he slurred and said, another person with a hole in his chest was found, this time it was not a corpse, it was a living person, I decided to follow them to find out.
The place where the body was found was a wood, dense and dense. The autumn leaves fell to the ground, and the onlookers were talking, and I pushed through the crowd and walked forward, the victim was a middle-aged woman with a bloody hole in her chest. With her mouth wide open, she was obviously frightened in some way before she died, and listening to their discussions, the middle-aged woman quarreled with her husband at night and ran out in a rage. Unexpectedly, what I found was a corpse.
There were a few young and vigorous young people in the crowd of onlookers who were discussing something, it turned out that they wanted to stay and see what was going on in the evening, and some went back with knives, shovels, and iron forks. I decided to wait with them.
In the late autumn of the evening, the night was terrible and lifeless, except for the occasional dry cough, some of them leaning against the trees, some lying among the leaves. The night passed without abnormality. They yawned and went home separately. I thought this was the end of it. But I didn't expect it......
On that day, a thin cloud gently shrouded the sun's smiling face. The sun shines through the clouds and mist on the ground, inextricably linked, between heaven and earth, only the wind is accompanied by a beam of quiet light, rendering the earthly scenery picturesque.
Aimlessly, walking on the street, "I heard that there was another murder in the woods of the next village" I saw two women's eyebrows fluttering. Another homicide, the third in a few days. A sense of foreboding came up in my heart. People have nothing to do with me, so they are afraid that there will be evil things.
At the time of the third watch, I heard a few rooster crows, and the six animals were restless, which lasted for about ten minutes and came to an abrupt end, followed by a group of dogs barking wildly, and the whole village barked, and that kind of ominous premonition hit inexplicably, so that Zhou Shihao went around the entire village, and there was no abnormality, "Shihao, let's go to the next village to see" There is no embellishment of the moon, and the night is much darker.
There is still a distance from the next village, you can hear the dogs barking wildly, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and a white shadow flashes, "Who" I exclaimed Zhou Shihao chased after me, oh my God, that person was Bai Ruoxue, "Bai Ruoxue, why are you here" I questioned. "I heard that there was a murder case, come and see. "She seemed calm. "Who the hell are you?" I said, agitatedly. "Later, you will know," I saw that she was resolute, so I did not ask any further questions.
A smell of blood, with the blood came to a house, only to see the door open, the door closed, the house lights brilliantly, there were many chicken feathers and blood stains on the ground. Zhou Shihao knocked on the door. "Who?" I said, and the door opened.
I saw that the man walked in a messy manner, and the woman sat on the ground with her head in her hands, and she looked very frightened when she saw someone coming. Before I could speak, the man said "It's terrible, it's terrible." "What do you see?" the woman shook her head in her hands. "I'm here to help you out." The man slurred and spat "There was a very tall black figure, it looked like a person, but it was very tall, he grabbed the chicken and unscrewed the head of the chicken, and raised his head as if he was drinking chicken blood, and then my wife screamed, and the thing turned around, and I found that he had no head" The woman showed even more fear when she said this. "Where did he go?" asked Bai Ruoxue. The man didn't speak, and under Bai Ruoxue's repeated questioning, the man pointed to the woods behind the village.
The three of us hurried towards the woods, and there was a dark shadow in the depths of the woods, and we quickened our pace, and the man also quickened our pace, whenever we slowed down. He slowed down in front as well. It seems that we are deliberately trying to make us follow.
The sky is getting brighter, and we always keep a certain distance from him. After walking about a dozen miles, there was an abandoned factory in front of him, and he walked in quickly, and we followed. It looks like an abandoned chemical factory, with dilapidated equipment and broken factories, and there are chemical raw materials left everywhere. I looked around the factory for a long time but never saw the man, and when Bai Ruoxue and I were at a loss, "Shihao, come and see, there is a cellar here" "Go down and take a look," Bai Ruoxue's voice was eager.
Walking down the cellar, getting darker and darker, I walked forward with both hands on the wall, which was slippery and felt a bit like moss. There was a light in front of it, and by the light there was the end of the cellar, and in the darkness of the light there was a man sitting. He seemed to have been waiting for us, slowly stood up, walked to the light, and then slowly took off the jumpie hat from his black clothes, and then I could see that a carbon-colored face had only one eye, and the nostrils on the nose were raised, and the ears were long like elves. Zhou Shihao's face was as earth-colored, and he only hated his father and mother for giving birth to two pairs of legs.
I lost consciousness with a pungent smell. When I woke up, I found the three of us lying in the woods. Zhou Shihao had an injury on his right shoulder, and blood was stained all over his right arm. Bai Ruoxue looked at Zhou Shihao and treated his wound first.
Strange to say, since Zhou Shihao came back from the cellar, he has been talking nonsense, constantly hallucinating, and his body has begun to change, he has become unwilling to eat, and only has an appetite for raw things and rotten food. "I want to eat little mice, live little mice," Zhou Shihao said to himself. At the same time, his eye circles were dark. Sleep like to hide under the bed.
"Ah, help, help" Zhou Shihao's body trembled. "Shihao Shihao" He seems to recognize me. "I saw a lot of rats around my body, they were going to eat me," Zhou Shihao knelt on the ground and kowtowed. I looked confused.
I put him on the bed and went to the toilet, and when I came back, I found that Zhou Shihao was no longer "Shihao, where are you?" I let out an urgent sound. "Whew, whew" I was interrupted by a snoring sound, and I searched for him, and it turned out that he was hiding under the bed again. What the hell is wrong with this kid, just as I pondered, there was a dark shadow outside the window, and through the window it seemed that the thing had fallen on the eaves. A few strange cries, sounding like bats, were just as I stepped through the door and was about to release the door when the flapping of wings disappeared.
As soon as I turned around and was knocked on, I saw Zhou Shihao's eyes closed, his body straightened, and he moved forward, I tried to wake him up, but he didn't react.
I followed him, which is strange to say, although Zhou Shihao's eyes were closed, and he might easily avoid obstacles. At this time, Bai Ruoxue also chased out. The front was very familiar, it turned out to be the chemical plant we had been to during the day, and I saw him slowly walking into the cellar with a light car. Bai Ruoxue and I also followed. Walking to the end of the cellar, the door opened. "There's a secret door there," Bai Ruoxue exclaimed.
Zhou Shihao walked into the door, fell to the ground, and let out a whirring sound. Looking closely at this dark room, it is very wide. Lots of candles on the walls. There is a hanging coffin on the wall facing the door, which looks very old. "Drip" felt that my face was damp, something was dripping, and I instinctively reached out my right hand to caress it. Blood, it turned out to be blood. Bai Ruoxue made a gesture of booing with her hands, signaling me not to make a sound. Then I followed her gaze and slowly looked overhead, oh my God! What a big bat, they hung upside down on the stone wall above their heads, blood dripping down their mouths everywhere.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the lid on the hanging coffin slid vertically to the ground, and in an instant a large pit was smashed out of the ground, and a pair of hands appeared in the coffin, which was a bit like the ancestor of the enemy family, only to see the man jump down instantly, and at the same time, the bats on the stone wall also began to wake up, making a squeaky sound.
"Long time no see," the man bared two fangs from his mouth. "Are you? we've met?" I said, confused. "Old friend, you forgot me so soon?" the man withdrew his teeth, a sinister smile rising at the corners of his mouth. "Yang Xi, you ruined my people and caused me to hide in Tibet all day long, and today I will take your dog's life"
The man's face was fierce. The two elf-like ears moved slightly.
"Ancestor of the enemy family," I exclaimed. "I spared your life at the beginning, but today you are doing evil again, hurting heaven and reason, today I want to destroy you on behalf of justice" I was furious. "Let the horses come," the man pointed at me without fear. After saying that, the man moved his ears.
I saw the bats on the stone wall screaming, slowly spreading their wings and hovering above Bai Ruoxue and me. Wantonly looking for opportunities to attack us. Zhou Shihao sat up suddenly, opened his eyes, and went straight to me and Bai Ruoxue. "Zhou Shihao was poisoned by bats, and he obeyed the man's orders. Bai Ruoxue be careful. Don't hurt Zhou Shihao as a last resort." "Long-winded" Bai Ruoxue rolled her eyes at me.
'Bang' Zhou Shihao punched me, and I easily dodged it, "Shihao, wake up, don't be a tiger fighter" Another heavy punch hit my body, I held his right hand and picked up the wooden stick on the ground and squeezed it on his fingertips, due to the pain Zhou Shihao suddenly woke up, "Why am I here for three cannons, where is this?" "Turn back and explain, respond to the enemy first."
The ancestor of the enemy family saw Zhou Shihao wake up and became angry and pointed at us. The bat statue received the order, rushed towards us, because of the experience of dealing with the eagles, I did not hurry to take out a yellow charm, burned in the fire, I thought this yellow charm could suppress them, I did not expect that I was thrown to the ground heavily, the bat bit my chest, painful I gritted my teeth, Bai Ruoxue jumped over with a brisk step, took out a dagger and stabbed at the bat, instantly my face was stained with blood, and stabbed a few times, until the bat was motionless. The three of them were back to back in a circle, and I pulled out a knife from my back. The bat continued to attack, and I lifted the knife to block it with my backhand, and the bat bit on the knife, and with a wave of my right hand, it was split in half in an instant.
The Ancestor of the Enemy Family covered his chest with his hands, and he was in great pain, and the pain increased by one point each time he eliminated one. Until the last one remains, it seems to be in great pain. I saw that its body was slowly getting bigger, and I knew that the thing was about to deform again, and because we had seen the transformation of the ancestor of the enemy family, we were very calm. "Quick, take advantage of its transformation, ask it to die" I raised my right hand with the knife above my head, and stabbed at the ancestor of the enemy family at the same time as Bai Ruoxue.
The two of them were thrown three feet away, and I bit my fingers, stained the blood on the knife, and continued to slash at it. With a painful scream, the ancestor of the enemy family was stabbed in the heart by me, and the two of them slowly walked towards me.
Suddenly, the eyes of the ancestor of the enemy family widened, looking straight at me, Bai Ruoxue stabbed it in the eye with a dagger, and with a roar, it gradually lost its breath. Just in case, I raised my knife and swung it dozens of times, and the flesh flew sideways, spraying green liquid on the ground.
The three of them gasped. Finally got the monster done, and I looked at them with a smile on my face. Afraid that it would become a corpse, Zhou Shihao picked up the candle on the wall, which was still on the body of the ancestor of the enemy family, and the flames scattered for a while. A smell of burnt rotten flesh came to my face.
I dragged my tired body back home, the wound was still bleeding, and then my grandfather came over with his hands crossed behind his back, as if he was still holding something in his hands. After looking at my wounds, he didn't make a sound, and he knew in his heart that it was inevitable that those who ate yin and yang rice would occasionally get hurt. Grandpa put the things in his hand on the table, slapped his right hand three times, and then turned to leave. Looking at his distant back, I suddenly found that he was full of white hair, his back was hunched, and he had some difficulty walking.
I carefully opened what my grandfather had put down, it was an iron box, it was rusty, squeaked, I opened the iron box, inside was a book, it looked like some years old. I guess it's the upper part of the scroll, and it is. The master gave me the lower part, and the scroll was finally complete, and I was overjoyed. Because the master Qiu Tianwen handed me the ancient text, it didn't seem difficult to read, and when I opened the ancient scroll, there was only a short line on the first page. ''Whoever eats yin and yang rice will not die well.''
I was reading the scroll with relish, when suddenly my heart tightened, followed by a flutter in my heart, "Grandpa, I can't read this passage a little" I looked towards the door, I thought he would respond to me, but ...... When I came to my grandfather's room, I felt that the air suddenly condensed, the wind gusted, my grandfather was lying on the bed, I called him a few times and did not respond, I thought it was an old age, his ears were heavy, I walked to the bed, saw that his breath was weak, grandpa seemed to know that it was me, raised his right hand with some difficulty, and waved it to me, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" I cried anxiously. "Grandpa's time has come," he said in a faint voice, and when he heard my cry, his father and mother rushed over. "Dad, what's wrong with you" Father's voice trembled a little. Grandpa shook his head, his lips moved slightly, as if he was about to say something: his father put his ear to his grandfather's mouth, and he saw his father nodding again and again.
The people in the room gathered more and more, all of them had gloomy faces, and when they closed their eyes, their minds came to their grandfather's good things. Tears dripped down her cheeks and onto her chest clothes. I understood the seriousness of the matter, and knelt there and wept bitterly.
My heart hurts, in the middle of the night, the night is terrible, I can clearly hear the sound of breathing in the room, suddenly grandpa beckoned to me, signaled me to go over, I held his hand, skinny and cold, there seemed to be something in my hand, grandpa looked at me with a smile, and started slowly, I knew that this was a return to the light, "Dad, you came to pick me up, my son will go with you" Grandpa's mouth suddenly came out of this sentence, which made the people in the room break out in a cold sweat. I saw that the house was full of relatives.
Boom, the roof tiles poured down and smashed on the ground, the sound was particularly loud in the middle of the night, and there was a sound of chains, grandpa was gone! I let go of his hand, it was a jade pendant, with yang on the front and yin on the back. "Grandpa, grandpa" I shook his body. The next step is to take care of the aftermath. First of all, we must wash the body of the deceased relative, and change the longevity clothes and shoes for him, our clan has a custom, after the death of the eldest son to barefoot to lead the clansmen to the land temple to kowtow, meaning to inform the land lord to pick up people. We call this custom the soup of the head.
On the road, there were many black cats and black dogs, they followed the team, and when we came to the Land Temple and we kowtowed, I secretly turned my head and saw them standing on their hind legs, and their two front paws were in the shape of a wrestling shape.
Although it was late at night, my house was still brightly lit, and people came and went, and they were discussing my grandfather's funeral, and I knelt on the side. I took out the yin and yang jade pendant that my grandfather handed me before leaving, this jade pendant was only half the size of the palm of my hand. It is engraved with cumbersome patterns, and the emerald color is warm and blue, and it looks very good. Looking carefully, there seemed to be something in the jade, I stood up, picked up the flashlight, and under the illumination of the light, I could clearly see the red bloodshot inside. "Don't look at it," my father interrupted, as I was fiddling with the jade pendant. "Tonight, I still have your second uncle to leave a wake" The father's voice was hoarse, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of moisture.
A wake is when someone close to the deceased stays behind to guard the body, and the old people in the past have always believed that people will come back to see their bodies and loved ones after death. Relatives went home one after another, leaving only me, my father and the second uncle, no sleepiness, I knelt in front of my grandfather's window, holding my grandfather's hand in a shroud with my right hand, according to the custom to hold the corpse (mortuary, referring to the deceased lying on the bed, relatives take turns to keep vigil until the third day of the afternoon funeral) for three days, sleepless all night, my father and second uncle's eyes were bloodshot.
The day has just dawned, and many relatives have come one after another, at this time, according to the custom, we should wear linen and filial piety, morning, noon, and evening each go to the land temple to kowtow. The room is wrapped with a white cloth. A large coffin was carried into the mourning chamber, and I knew that my grandfather was about to be buried.
Burial refers to placing the body in a coffin. "All relatives and friends, Yang Gong is ready to be buried, if you want to see Yang Gong for the last time, please come forward" The steward shouted, only to see the steward take off the paper money covering his grandfather's face, and when he saw his grandfather's black and thin face, I cried out loud. After about a few minutes, the steward bowed to his grandfather and "began to bury"
I saw that they gently lifted the grandfather, and the grandfather's head was pillowed on the longevity pillow, under the body, shoulders, and navel. A line of twine was laid on each of the feet. The steward took out two round square-hole coins from his pocket and placed them in his grandfather's left and right hands. The lid of the coffin was closed with a bang. The coffin was deliberately left more than ten centimeters.
When it was dark, the filial son asked for the spirit, only to see a group of our clansmen in order of generation, kneeling at the door, the everlasting lamp in the hands of the father has been dim, I don't know how long I knelt, the everlasting lamp in the hands of the father lit up, the legend is that the dead relatives came back, the everlasting lamp is illuminating the way home for them. The father held the lantern in his right hand and blocked it with his left hand, for fear that it would be blown out by the wind.
Back in the mourning room, my father slowly put the lantern on the bench facing my grandfather's head, and the cries came and went, thinking of my grandfather's hardships, my crying became louder.
On the night of the custom, all relatives were to stay in the mourning room. They were discussing the funeral tomorrow, when a black cat suddenly burst in, its two front paws on the ground, and the cat's head was slightly lowered in a gesture. Before everyone came to their senses, a desolate cry jumped on the coffin. "You can't let the cat cross the coffin," the father said quickly, obviously with some urgency. Many people understand that once the cat's breath is exhaled into the nose of the corpse, it will cause the corpse to change. Everyone quickly got up and pounced on the black cat.
The black cat was not afraid, standing at the mouth of the coffin and looking at the grandfather lying inside, "Get out of the way, let me kill it" The aunt's cousin held a wooden stick with a fierce look in his eyes. As soon as it was too late, I grabbed the stick that was about to fall on the black cat. "You're crazy, the cat has nine lives, it will take revenge" I looked at my cousin with an angry tone. My cousin's face changed dramatically, and he slowly let go of his hands, and I threw the wooden stick out of the mourning room.
"Meow" saw the black cat's right paw scratching its face, in the shape of wiping tears, and I clearly saw it crying. Tears dripped on the body of the grandfather in the coffin. The sound of "meow" was extremely miserable, and the black cat jumped off the coffin and walked slowly towards the outside of the mourning room, with a very slow pace, looking back at the coffin from time to time.
I let out a long sigh of relief, and I hope there won't be another accident tonight. My eyes were fixed on the outside of the mourning chamber.
The cousin proposed to close the door, but the father reached out to stop him. My cousin and I took turns guarding while the others went to sleep, and I casually glanced at the boy and girl at the end of my grandfather's coffin. Feeling the paper man blinking, I rubbed my eyes and smiled in my heart, maybe I was dazzled.
It stands to reason that my cousin and I couldn't sleep, but our eyes were astringent, our minds were chaotic, and we fell asleep unconsciously, and in a daze, I heard someone call me, "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi," and the voice was grandpa's voice. "I'm so cold, so cold" The voice was low, "Grandpa, don't go!" I screamed and woke up suddenly, everyone was woken up by me, and the ever-bright light in front of Grandpa's coffin had been extinguished at some point. I pulled out the lighter and lit it.
Suddenly, the second uncle foamed at the mouth and lay on the ground, his body convulsing. The body is getting straighter and straighter, if you don't help him get over this situation, the second uncle will definitely die. I hurriedly grabbed the second uncle's right calf, some of them were holding behind me, pinching others, and some broke his arm, and the second uncle's body finally became soft back after a while.
At this time, the second uncle slowly opened his mouth, "Tomorrow bury me in the back mountain, and there can be no black cat near the coffin" How is this voice the same as grandpa's voice, "I want to drink water, I want to drink water" The second uncle made a grandfather's voice in his mouth, and his expression was painful. At the same time, the water cup in front of the portrait of my grandfather kept shaking, remembering that my grandfather loved to drink milk powder before his death, I wiped my tears, put a few spoonfuls, and poured boiling water. The cup stopped.
Ahem, there was a coughing sound, and the second uncle woke up, he seemed to know that he was on the body by his grandfather, but he just sat there and kept wiping his tears.
The sky was slightly bright and a little gray, the sky was drizzling, and the autumn wind was blowing through the cold and biting. Today, according to custom, we have to go to the cemetery very early to choose a grave for my grandfather, and many people from the village came to help, they were armed with pickaxes, shovels and other tools. After pouring the morning soup, the group came to the cemetery. Father holding a compass, walking east, looking west, and finally choosing a small open space by the river, my father means that I want my grandfather to let the dragonfly point water, as the saying goes, the ancestors dragonfly point to the water, the descendants will definitely send it.
Once the grave is chosen, the man who comes to help will begin framing (digging a deep pit for the coffin).
The filial son returned to the mourning room to wait for the resignation. At this time, everyone in the mourning room cried loudly, and they all knew what it would mean after the resignation, and I stood by the statue of my grandfather, and my tears kept flowing.
A few trumpets blew and I knew the moment was coming. The steward shouted "Begin to say goodbye" and everyone kowtowed, and the father held a dustpan with both hands, on which was placed the spiritual seat of the grandfather, and the spiritual seat was written on the divine seat of Yang Dagong. I glanced at the second uncle and saw the second uncle holding a tray with a few pieces of paper money on it, and the paper money was written, Feng God, and so on.
Each person holds a willow strip in his hand. Walk towards the Land Temple. It is very strange that there are a lot of black cats and black dogs in the Land Temple. One after another wailed. It's like grieving for my grandfather's death.
After making a big salute and lighting the spiritual seat, paper horses, paper figures, etc., I knelt on the ground and refused to get up for a long time.
When he returned, he saw a shrine erected outside the door (the coffin was placed on top of it, carried by sixty-four men).
The steward of the "sealed coffin" was expressionless, and saw forty-nine coffin nails nailed to the coffin, but they were not nailed. "Everyone saluted and sent Yang Dagong"
The steward shouted again.
A group of people followed behind the coffin-carrying procession of sixty-four people and walked towards the back mountain. It is said that grandpa's coffin has been dried and will not be so heavy, but look at these sixty-four people, they are sweating profusely and gritting their teeth. Somebody said a word, and put down his rest, and saw sixty-four of them stop and lay them on the ground. After a pause, everyone was ready to lift it again, but despite the strength of the sixty-four people, the coffin was thrown without moving.
Suddenly, a black dog rushed out in front of it to block it, and no matter how much it hit it and scared it, it lay there unmoved. It has been a stalemate, and the black dogs and black cats have gathered more and more from all directions. There was a wail, and several black cats jumped onto the coffin, their paws scratching at the coffin in the shape of a dug earth.
At this time, the father stood up and shouted with a sad face, "It's not good, there is a situation in the coffin", and blood dripped down the rope on the coffin. The father went to the steward and consulted with him about something.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and the steward shouted, "The filial son tidies up his clothes, Yang Gong's body has changed, and he is ready to open the coffin." When the black cats saw that we had noticed the anomaly and walked towards the coffin, they jumped off the coffin very consciously.
Dingdingding...... With a crisp iron collision sound, forty-nine coffin nails were taken down, and when the coffin lid was lifted, a pungent stench occurred in the coffin, and I saw strands of black blood flowing out of my grandfather's mouth, nose, and ears. I secretly screamed in my heart, it's not good to have evil things to haunt me, I'm afraid that my grandfather's corpse will cheat the corpse. The three hemp ropes under the corpse had been stained red with blood, and the hemp rope below the navel had been broken at the right hand. Everyone looked panicked.
Seeing that the auspicious time was almost over, no other abnormalities were found except for the bleeding of Grandpa's corpse. "No, just carry Grandpa's body out and see if there's anything under him," I said in surprise. Some scolded me for being unfilial. Some of them shouted, "Put it in the coffin for peace, don't move the corpse." My father discussed with my second uncle and aunt for a while. In the end, it was decided to carry out the body.
When several men lifted the corpse, everyone's mouths opened wide, and there was a red centipede under the grandfather's body, which was redder than blood and dozens of centimeters long. "How can there be such a thing" My aunt looked surprised, I reached out to catch it, but I was bitten, and the centipede crawled out of the rope, and it was very fast, and it ran into the grass and disappeared.
At this time, the black cat and black dog blocking the coffin slowly walked to both sides of the road. In order to send the coffin to the team, I originally planned to open the coffin lid when my grandfather entered the earth and then provide it to future generations to admire the remains, but I didn't expect this to happen, and unanimously decided to nail the coffin and bury it directly.
Sixty-four people lifted the coffin and headed for the back hill, and I looked back to see a surprising sight of the black cats and dogs following behind the coffin procession. All the way to the grave of Grandpa Houshan, they raised their heads and wailed to the sky, and after a few sounds, they scattered and disappeared.
After dealing with my grandfather's funeral, I felt exhausted, and the wounds bitten by centipedes and bats on my right hand ached. Thinking of my grandfather's love for me before his death, tears came out of my eyes.
Hey, forget it, grandpa doesn't want me to be sad for him, I secretly thought in my heart, what did grandpa say to my father before leaving? What is the secret of the jade pendant given to me? Why is the centipede in the coffin? The head of the thought is big, I only feel that my eyes are very astringent, my eyelids are fighting, and I fall asleep unconsciously.
