Chapter 51: Loosening the Soil from the Coffin
It's free, it's all free, change a good way to bury your ancestors, and for a while, my yard was full of men, and they all came to help.
In the past, I gave away bad words, but now when I see my grandparents, I am very polite and give a lot of eggs.
"Oh, this Xu Chuqi came back from walking around the Hades Temple, and he has become sensible! If you know your mistakes, you can change them. ”
Everyone drank in the courtyard, there were more than a dozen hoes outside the door, and after lunch, they would all go up the mountain with me to dig graves, and there were five coffins in total.
There has always been such a saying among the people: "The left eye jumps for wealth, and the right eye jumps for disaster, but my right eyelid has been beating today, and since the Wuhan Wen was buried, the eyelids have not stopped, and my heart is still blocked."
I looked through the zodiac calendar and said that today is the best day to be buried, to sacrifice to the grave, not to take a bath, not to take a nap.
"Mommy, you really won't let me go with you? How long do I have to wear these sunglasses, it's so dark. ”
"Be obedient, your mana is not as powerful as your father, the snake tail can't be contained, and it will scare people to death."
What worries me the most is the child in front of me, who is getting taller and taller day by day, only three years old and five years old, and eats an amazing amount of food, three chickens a day, now a sheep a day.
I can't afford it!
As long as she is hungry, she will show her green tail, and with a flick of her tail, she can split a tree.
In front of the villagers, I managed to build trust, and if this little guy messed up, everything would be gone.
I gave birth to a snake, normal people, certainly unacceptable.
After seeing the men outside the house finish eating, I also picked up the guy who was eating, prepared a bag of paper money, and a gossip mirror, the pointer on it, I still can't tell the difference between yin and yang.
The letter that Uncle Ge left to me said that the place where they were buried was covered by lush foliage and the sun, and the humidity was particularly heavy.
Then, I just go to the place of light, preferably at the top of the mountain, which is the best.
Boom
Paper money sprinkled in the air, swaying in the wind.
When passing by the Xiliang River, there was a white-haired old man standing by the bridge, holding a paper umbrella in his hand, shouting there, "Sell umbrellas, sell umbrellas, use umbrellas to shade the sun, good signs, white things become happy events." ”
There were no more umbrellas on the straw mats on the ground, no more, no less, exactly five.
And the coffin I reburied today happens to be five, which is too coincidental.
I saw this old man, his face was full of wrinkles, and he squinted when he talked to people, as if he had some problems with his eyesight.
"Old man, do you know how to bury?"
The old man stroked his beard, nodded, and held up the paper umbrella in his hand, all painted with different patterns, and handed it to me with profound meaning.
Because of his actions, I took some cash out of my bag and handed it to him.
After he accepted it satisfactorily, he attached it to my ear and said, "Umbrella shading" means that when the burial, the remains and ashes of the ancestors cannot be directly seen by the sun, and the descendants need to open an umbrella to prevent the sun from blowing up the remains of the ancestors, causing the ancestors to find no home. ”
I nodded knowingly.
"Thank you."
I thank this old man for appearing, let me escape, the coffin and reburial is a good thing, if it is done badly, it will become a murderous thing.
graveyard
The graves of these five families were overgrown with weeds, like human hair, dense and intricate.
I stood aside and looked at the pointer of the gossip mirror, the pointer was steady, and there was no vision.
"Work hard, heha! It's on.
The coffin was pried open with a crack, and I immediately took an umbrella and asked them to catch the body.
creak
creak
The lid of the coffin was pried open, and the rats in the field fled one after another.
Some don't have mice, but they are a litter of cockroaches, and when they climb on people's bodies, they still suck blood.
In the middle of the way, two people were scared away, and the person with the umbrella was not afraid, but when the coffin was opened, everyone saw that it was not a skull, but a foot bone.
Scare away some more.
Of the nearly fifty big men who came together, there are only thirty left after they have run away, and that is the descendants of the deceased.
"Xu Chuqi, the coffin lid is opened, the human bones in it, you can carry it!"
I?
I tilted my head in confusion and looked at them, all of them looking at them with angry expressions.
I smiled awkwardly, I'll carry it, there are only five white bones in total, not much.
When I walked over, dragged the human bone, and carried it on my back, the person holding the umbrella for me was bitten by a cockroach!
Smack, the umbrella fell to the ground.
The sun happened to be shining on the white bones' head, and black smoke began to rise.
I didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately put the bones into the new coffin lid.
What to do?
One of them saw the light!
"Mommy, I'm hungry ......."
"Nianbai, why are you here! It's not for you to wait for me at home. ”
"But I'm hungry!"
I can't help it if I'm hungry now, the front foot and the back mountain are all graves, and the rest are a few of us.
I'm hungry too, and the point is that I can't eat living people!
I covered her mouth, and the other villagers waiting for me, apparently impatient, were urging me to hurry up, stomping their feet back and forth on the ground.
And this time I asked Nianbai to give me an umbrella, and with her help, I quickly put the five white bones in the new coffin.
I buried the new coffin in the direction of the cave house I bought, and we followed the path without resting for a moment.
Because it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and four o'clock in the countryside was almost the way to the field to pick up vegetables and then go home to cook.
The halo of the setting sun happened to sprinkle on each coffin, and they were digging the soil with sweat, and then put the coffin in little by little.
Just after burying the four human bones, and just before the last coffin, someone shouted that he was tired and said that he wanted to rest.
picked up the wine gourd and began to drink, looking at Nianbai was a gluttony, and his saliva was about to fall.
"No, good, reckless...... No! ”
The little one, probably really hungry, rushed up, snatched the villagers' wine gourds, and began to gurgle and drink.
I watched her little face flush and burp...... A full burp comes out.
I'm dizzy from the smoke, why does this taste so similar!
A huge snake's tail was exposed, swinging on the ground, and everyone who was shocked couldn't stand steadily, "Snake! ”
The remaining thirty people, because of Nianbai's move, were so frightened that they threw down their hoes and ran away.
I pinched the middle of the person with a headache, pumped my ears, why didn't I feed her, and then go out!
No wonder my right eyelid has been jumping all day today, and now I can only bury the bones by myself, and then loosen the soil to cover the coffin.
Nianbai showed his snake tail because he was greedy for a cup of realgar wine, and he couldn't let children drink other people's things in the future!
I put the bones in the coffin, closed the lid of the coffin, and buried the earth.
It was already seven o'clock and the sun had already set.
Snoring, Nianbai lay on the ground, and fell asleep.
"Hello!"
"Hey."
I was going to hug her, in a trance, who was talking to me just now?
Nianbai fell asleep, and the villagers were scared away, how could there be anyone.
