Chapter 412: Yin and Yang Harmony
I wondered what the hell was going to do with this old man's bones, and I asked, "How do you tell the difference between the different bones?"
"The difference is very simple, that is, first of all, there is no disease, and the bones that are not sick are mostly white. Secondly, it is not for old women, most of the black ones are old women, or poisoned, and they can't be used. The old man said.
I said, "The rotten bones?"
"Let me ask you, do you still eat the rice when it grows hair?"
I didn't speak, this old man has a big temper, I'm afraid people with special skills are like this, I had to let Liu Laosi and Ah Cai stay behind to help take care of Wu Shu, and by the way, I stared at this old man.
I dragged Huang Maoqiang to find the grave, after all, Huang Maoqiang's means and experience seem to be more than Liu Laosi.
In fact, I am very helpless at this time, a good person, I have done this business, I can't do it, even if I have to dig a grave to see a doctor, is it natural?
"Yes is born, fate, God has his own arrangement. Huang Maoqiang said.
I was surprised, "How do you know what's going on in my heart?"
"How can I know what you think?" Huang Maoqiang said.
I shook my head and said, "It seems that I've been really tired lately, and I should rest too." ”
"Okay, when Wu Shu's illness is cured, I'll take you to a place, let's have a good rest. Huang Maoqiang said.
"Where are you taking us?"
Huang Maoqiang said with a smile on his face: "Actually, that old man's village is very lively, and there are all kinds of things, let's go and make sure to have a good time." ”
"Such a good place?" I asked.
Huang Maoqiang said: "Just such a willing to follow, the others are the masters who don't give any amount of money." ”
"Well, let's go northeast, I feel like there's a cemetery over there. "My Sinan turned over there.
As I expected, when I looked up from the bottom of the mountain, there was really a large cemetery.
"Little brother, you said that such a large cemetery, there must be a woman's grave, right?" Huang Maoqiang said.
I said, "Do you want to dig them all up?"
"That's not it, there are so many graves, there must be dozens of them, and you can't get tired and die if you dig them all. ”
I thought about it for a long time and said, "If there is a tombstone, let's see if it is a mother's, and if we remove those ones, we can only dig them one by one." ”
"Hey, I'll tell you the sad news, there are no headstones on these dozens of graves. Huang Mao said strongly.
I said, "Then look for a small grave, preferably in an urn jar, I guess all of them are children." ”
"That's fine, I'll find it. "Huang Maoqiang looks for it from top to bottom, and I look for it from bottom to top.
The whole cemetery was rummaged, but no hair was found, and a few bones that looked like women were found, but it didn't seem that the bones were good, so I had to give up.
In no way, we found a series of tombs, which were even larger than the previous ones, and there were more than a hundred or so of them.
We didn't dare to stop, we searched according to the method we had started, and finally Huang Maoqiang and I fixed our eyes on the small cemetery in the middle at the same time.
"Is there here?" I asked, I was really tired and wanted to rest for a while.
"It's not open, who knows, otherwise let's rest for a while, the graves above are all filled. ”
I looked at the grave below and said, "The bottom one is also filled, don't forget to burn some paper when you leave." ”
"Don't worry, there are still two pieces of paper on horseback. Huang Mao said strongly.
After we rested, we opened the tomb and found that it was empty, so we dug down for several meters and finally dug up a bone without a coffin.
"It's over, there's nothing next to this bone, how can it be proved that it's a man and a woman, and I can't see if there's a difference. Huang Mao said strongly.
I said, "Women have wider hip bones than men, and they have more ribs than men. After looking at it all, I smiled and said, "Sure enough, this tomb is the last one we are looking for." ”
"What is this?"
"Let's do it, take her tailbone and take a look. I muttered a few words to the skeleton, carefully removed the tailbone, and by the light of the fire in my hand, I found that the bone was very white, with slight yellowing marks.
I examined the joints of the whole body of the skeleton, and they were almost identical, proving that the woman was very healthy, and had not given birth, but her neck bone seemed to have been damaged, and it was not clear whether it was left behind before her death or caused after death.
"Little brother, the things are in hand, let's thank this eldest sister first, let's go quickly. Huang Maoqiang said anxiously.
I nodded and said, "Wu Shu's illness can't wait, let's help her find some hay to make a mat and bury her, if Wu Shu can still help her make a coffin here, we will be in vain." ”
Not long after, Huang Maoqiang found some hay, and the two of us weaved straw mats, put the bones in the mat, slowly rolled them, put them in the cemetery, and filled them back with soil.
After descending the mountain, we burned paper at the bottom of the mountain, and after thanking us, we ran back.
After a short time, we met the old man and handed him the recovered tailbone.
The old man didn't want to, threw the bone under the root of the tree, and spat on the bone fiercely.
He looked back at us and asked, "How crazy are you guys, how dare anyone take their bones back?"
"What do you mean by this, how much effort we have took, you don't want to just spit, what are you spitting for, isn't this a great disrespect to the dead?" I was a little anxious.
The old man snorted, "Do you think you respect them like this? ”
"What? can you see?" I asked.
The old man said: "Nonsense, can't I see that I can talk to you about so many boundless things?"
I panicked a little and asked, "What do you mean by that, so my brother's illness can't be cured?"
"Just wait, let's think about what these guys will do!" said the old man.
I immediately asked the old man, "How much dirt did we bring back?" ”
The old man began to explain to me that since it was daytime, most of the ghosts did not show their heads, and under the old man's guidance, I knew that the dirty things were hidden in corners that we would not even have thought of.
Under the stones, on the treetops, behind the leaves, a few meters underground, etc., all the places we can't think of can be said by the old man to have ghosts.
But I really can't see the existence of those dirty things, not to mention Huang Maoqiang and Liu Laosi.
"Actually, those dirty things are just to get some more benefits, and the most entangled of them should be the one who died. The old man said.
I scratched my head and said, "We haven't seen any ...... who have died," and as I said this, I suddenly felt that I had said the wrong thing, because the owner of the bone we got back probably did not die a normal death.
"No, the bone you got back, that girl was hanged, not a horizontal death?" the old man said a word, and then waved his hand and said: "For the sake of gold, the old man helped you set up today's matter, and I won't do it next time if I give me the gold mountain, there should be no next time." ”
The old man walked lightly, ran to the tailbone, and spat a dozen mouthfuls in succession, and every two mouthfuls he muttered a few words he did not understand, and after he was verbose for half an hour, his body was already soaked with sweat, and he ran back and sat down.
"Water!"
Ah Cai hurriedly gave the old man water to drink, and I followed up and asked, "How is it?"
"Finally made it clear, this girl is really stubborn, if you don't agree to her conditions, your friend will be hopeless. The old man said.
"What are her conditions?"
The old man didn't answer me for a long time, he went to see Wu Shu first, and then sighed: "Good masculine man." ”
"Uncle, what are you saying, what should I do?"
"Help them get married!"
"Huh?" several of us questioned almost at the same time.
Ah Cai rushed over and said, "Marry a dead man?"
"Yes, we must get married, this woman is not simple, if we don't agree to her, we will all die. The old man said.
I instantly felt that this matter seemed to be excessive, the marriage of the living and the dead, what about joking?
Liu Laosi said: "This is not right, if you get married, then Wu Shu will also have to die?"
"Either he dies or we all die!"
Huang Mao was in a hurry, raised the old man above his head with one arm, stared at him and scolded: "Your mother, are you playing with us, what are you playing? I asked you to save people, not let you kill people." ”
The old man chuckled and said, "Believe it or not, anyway, I'm so old, it doesn't matter if I die or not, I'm afraid it's a pity for a few of you." ”
Liu Laosi and I stepped forward to persuade Huang Maoqiang to come down, and after the old man landed, I apologized and said, "I'm really embarrassed, my brother is also in a hurry." You see, is there a better way to keep my friend alive and save the lives of those of us?"
"Yes, yes, but it depends on your friend's creation, but don't be happy, even if you succeed, it depends on whether the woman is willing to let you go. ”
"And what if you don't want to?"
"If you don't want to, your friend will live on that woman's back for the rest of his life, and you know that living with the dead will definitely affect the life of the living, and this may be the best way. ”
I understand what the old man meant, the safety of us and Wu Shu depends entirely on the meaning of the female ghost, as long as she agrees, we will all be fine, otherwise, we are all in danger.
It was almost dusk, and the old man set up an incense burner in front of Wu Shu, lit three sticks of incense, and told us about the guys who were going to get married.
I really can't figure it out, Wu Shu is still a young man, and he didn't think much about the whole ghost lady, which made him start a family in the future, but thinking of our profession, I shook my head helplessly.
The old man shouted to me, "Go and catch some carnivorous animals, roast them and put them on the table, and make some water for wine, and sit in the four directions, and sit at the main table, and invite these ghosts who come with you to eat." ”
"Such a big wedding banquet, full of ghosts, is this the harmony of yin and yang?" I muttered.
The old man shouted: "Yes, the living should be particular, and the ghosts should be even more particular, go ahead." ”
