Chapter 7: Here You Come
Li Xiaoqi and Xu Ting came to the door. "What are you looking for me?" In fact, Li Xiaoqi asked knowingly. On Sunday, he knew that things were not so simple, but he didn't expect that there was something of his own.
"Xiao Qi, you come with me, go to my house first, let's talk while walking. Xu Ting's expression was very anxious.
"What do you say first? Li Xiaoqi didn't leave with Xu Ting immediately, but asked.
Xu Ting looked at Li Xiaoqi with a look on his face, if you don't say, I won't just go, so I can only tell him.
It happened on Monday morning. Early that morning, Xu Ting was preparing to go to class as before, but as soon as she walked out of the door of the dormitory, she saw her mother walking towards her with a tired face.
"Mom, why are you here, I've only been away for a day, and you miss me?" Xu Ting said with a smile.
Xu Ting's mother didn't seem to see her daughter's smiling face, but she still had a low face, "Tingting, your grandfather passed away." You're going home with me now, and I've already taken a leave of absence for you. ”
"Smack", the book in Xu Ting's hand fell to the ground unconsciously. "Mom, you lied to me, didn't you?" said the tears on his face.
Mother Xu knew that it was difficult for her daughter to accept this fact, the Xu family was a big family, but the three generations of the Xu family gave birth to all children, and Xu's mother also gave birth to a boy at the beginning, that is, Xu Ting's brother, and later had Xu Ting, the Xu family was very happy, and the old man Xu, who was Xu Ting's grandfather, was also very happy. I have always loved this granddaughter, and the relationship between my grandfather and grandson is very good.
"It's true, your grandfather died. Let's go, go home and see your grandfather on his last ride. Xu Mu said
got her mother's affirmation, Xu Ting didn't know how she got home and came home. looked at the grandfather lying in the room, and the tears couldn't stop falling. "Grandpa. Woowoo woo ......"
Old man Xu was lying in the room in a shroud, his whole body covered with a yellow cloth, and he was not lying in the coffin. There is a little peculiar rule in the northeast, after a person dies, a yellow cloth is needed to cover the body, and then the body will not enter the coffin, where it will be placed for three days, that is, the third day is buried, in fact, the real parking time is only two days. If the body is placed in a coffin, it must be buried on the same day.
As for the statement that it will be put for three days. I don't know when it started, but it is said that the real reason for the three days was because of the fear that the deceased would fake his death, and cremation had already occurred in this era, and there was once an old man in someone's family who died and did not park the body at home. I went to the crematorium that day, and when I was cremated, the old man's shouts came from the stove, but I couldn't save it at that time.
There is also the time to move the grave, the grave needs to be replaced with a new coffin, but when people open the coffin, they will take a look at the lid of the old coffin, if there are deep marks on the lid of the old coffin, then it means that the person was alive when he was buried, because he faked his death and was buried by his family. Wake up in a coffin. You can't see anything, and you can't turn over. I can only desperately grasp upwards, and I won't care about the pain at that time.
Over the course of two days, there may be some smell of decay coming from the corpse, but the smell is very small. There is no real rot.
The people of the Xu family all came back when the old man died, and there was a burst of crying from the entire Xu family, and two days passed like this. In the past two days, I have also chosen a cemetery with good feng shui, waiting for burial on Wednesday.
On Wednesday morning, everyone from the Xu family had already arrived. There are also outsiders, such as those who came to help, and there is Mr. Feng Shui, Mr. Feng Shui invited by the Xu family, who is a famous Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was dressed in a Taoist robe and held a compass in his hand. Keep pinching your fingers. In fact, in addition to looking at the burial place, I don't need a compass at this time, but now I have to talk about packaging for everything, which is more professional.
"When the auspicious time comes, please put the old man in the coffin. The Taoist priest turned and walked out of the house.
The people inside, four people carried the coffin lid and covered the coffin, and then one person would hold a nail and nail the coffin to prevent the coffin lid from falling off when the burial was undergone.
"Bang" Before everyone knew what was happening, the coffin lid flew off the coffin.
The flying coffin lid slapped the person who was about to nail on the ground, and then the old man Xu, who was already dead in the coffin, sat up from the coffin today.
Looking at the old man who came back from the dead, many people's eyes widened. "Fraud...... Deceived corpses. ”
I don't know who shouted, and then the whole house ran out of the yard. The people of the Xu family are no exception.
Old Man Xu's body has been put away for two days, and today is the third day, and the smell of decay has appeared on his body, and such a person can say that he can come back to life. Who would believe it? The only explanation is the corpse.
The people of the Xu family ran outside. Looking at the Taoist priest who was still standing in the courtyard, he hurriedly ran to the side of the Taoist priest.
Xu Tian, who is Xu Ting's father, came to the Taoist priest's side, and said in a trembling voice, "Daoist, my father has cheated the corpse." What should I do?"
"Fraudulent corpse?" The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and he was also confused. I have lived for 40 years, and I have eaten the bowl of rice of the Taoist priest for 20 years, but I have never seen a corpse.
"I've never encountered anything like this, my master should be able to solve it. But I can't solve it. ”
Hearing that this Taoist priest's master could solve it, Xu Tian was overjoyed, "Then invite the family master to come, we will pay as much as possible." ”
At this time, the Taoist priest looked embarrassed, "But my master is not in our province." ”
Xu Tian scolded his mother in his heart, so you said a fart. "So what now?"
The Taoist priest touched his chin with his hand and said, "It's okay, fortunately, it's daytime, whether he cheats or not, he doesn't dare to expose himself to the sun anymore." Where do you go to find a thicker hemp rope, and then find a few young lads. Tie it up first. ”
After hearing what the Taoist priest said, Xu Tian hurriedly ran out of the door. Five minutes passed. Xu Tian ran back. with a bundle of hemp rope, and five lads. The person was hired by Xu Tianhua at a high price.
Seeing that the person had returned, the Taoist priest stepped forward and said. "Don't be afraid. The person who wakes up from the corpse is a little more energetic than normal manpower. A few of us were enough. After entering. Be careful, nothing serious. With that, he led a few people into the house.
Several people came to the house and looked at the scene in the house, which was different from the imagined walking. Generally, the corpse is defrauded when there is resentment when you die, and the resentment in your heart comes into contact with a living animal, and then the animal's soul attaches to the corpse. Then the corpse will wake up. Started yelling, biting. The six relatives did not recognize it.
But in the house, Old Man Xu had already come out of the coffin and sat on a chair. Just looking out like that. He opened his mouth and said, "You are here." ”
