I was haunted by nightmares, slept for an unknown amount of time, and was pushed off the kang.

"The seventh day of the first month! We came at the appointed time, why are you still asleep? ”

Oh, yes! Today is the third day, the day of the burial of the coffin, I quickly got up and put on my clothes and shoes, and then went out to the wellhead to fetch water to wash my face.

And I also saw that the new coffins coming in from the city, maybe because no one signed for a long time after knocking on the door, the courier directly put the coffins all over the yard, large and small stacked together, and let them come to help change the coffin There is nowhere to stand, so the attitude is not good.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too tired last night, I didn't expect to sleep for so long, let's go!"

Along the way, there is a special white suona team, walking in front of us to blow and blow, the voice is very sad, provoking a group of people to think of their own children, walking is crying all the way.

Everyone was dressed in black, with white sleeves around their arms, and a mourning word was written on them.

What are you most afraid of encountering in white things?

That is to meet a happy event, we only need to bypass this bridge from the cemetery, and climb another intersection on the other side is the destination, so we happened to catch up with Zhang Sanpao's family to marry a daughter-in-law.

Zhang Sanbao is a well-known honest person in Xiatangguan Village, because he is too honest, he can't find a woman at the age of thirty, and recently I heard that he found one, but he didn't say that he got married today, and no one knew that his family had a happy event, blocking our way.

On one side it is a white event, and on the other side it is a happy event, and they all have to cross the bridge.

In our rural areas, the general family is not wealthy, and the etiquette is to receive relatives in the most traditional way, eight big red sedan chairs, gongs and drums sound, flowers scattered.

The most taboo for us to do white things is to give way, have you ever heard of a classic scolding sentence, "hurry to reincarnate".

As the name suggests, this is the source, and when the general pedestrian sees the coffin carrying the funeral, he must give way first, otherwise he will be haunted by bad luck.

This happy event, Zi Qidong said the law, the family welcomes the new year, and the bride can't get off the sedan chair halfway.

"Zhang Sanpao, if you don't get married sooner or later, you get married today, and our children are still waiting to be buried! Seven people, more than you, you give way! ”

The parents in the crowd were a little angry, I was late for sleep and delayed the time, and now I killed Chen Biting Gold halfway.

Everyone thought that the usual honest people would be bullied by others as before, but they didn't expect Zhang Sanpao to get off the horse directly, with a lot of corsages around his chest, and stand in the crowd of people with dazzling eyes.

"No, no, no! I...... I married a daughter-in-law, and I only had this in my thirties...... In this marriage, I am the most unlucky to meet you, you and me! ”

Zhang Sanpao rarely quarrels with others, basically whoever quarrels with him, the other party wins, so he stutters when he is nervous.

At this time, the teams of the two sides stopped, the sound of trumpets and gongs stopped, and the people who greeted relatives and mourners were all gathered together, and there was the momentum of a fight.

I watched the flower fall to the ground, and the bride, probably confused, rolled up the curtains, ripped off her red hijab and looked at us.

And I also noticed the bride at this time, she is very beautiful, her big eyes are smart, her nose bridge is pretty, Yin Tao's small mouth, and her round face looks very intimate, Zhang Sanpao can marry such a daughter-in-law with clear eyebrows, no wonder she is so nervous.

I was caught in the middle and listened to them arguing, both sides were scolding and scolding for the sake of one way, and the bride was repeatedly pulling up the curtain and looking at us several times.

Huajiao can't land, it's not good to be grounded, and it's not stagnate halfway through the door, and the future husband and wife will either quarrel or separate, this is a lesson that my grandfather taught me.

He told me that if I do white things, I must calculate them accurately, and I must not conflict with happy events.

If I had gotten up earlier, I might not have caught up, but with seven coffins and all children inside, we had the upper hand in terms of numbers, and we were no joke.

"That's it! Don't quarrel, you have to go over, it's not good to block anyone, but ah Brother Sanpao, you and your sister-in-law are the fate of Pingshui, you can cross the river and walk, the meaning is good, we are a coffin, and the coffin has not yet entered the soil and cannot touch the water. ”

I offered a flattery, rubbed my hands and bowed ninety degrees to people, so that I stuffed a little red envelope in the back, thinking that big things turned into small things, and small things turned into small things, but I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, the funeral team was even more energetic.

"That's it! It's still a child, and I don't believe you don't want children in the future! ”

"Get out of the way!"

They always feel that what I said is reasonable, and the tone is particularly bad, this three guns are ready to take the red envelope, but seeing the attitude of everyone kicking their noses and faces, they immediately returned the red envelope to me.

Seeing that there were many of us, Zhang Sanpao immediately led the horse, stood on the top of the bridge, stood in a big character, and sniffed.

"I won't let it go! What, what? Do I owe you anything? ”

The welcoming team, seeing that the groom had spoken, put down the horn in their hands, took off the flat shoulder on the flower pride, and began to push me with the guy, and it looked like a fight.

I stomped my feet angrily, took advantage of the chaos to get out of the line to greet my relatives, and pulled up the curtain of flowers.

The bride was startled when she saw that I was dressed in black, crossed her arms and stared at me with wide eyes.

After thinking about it, I started to undress in front of the bride, everyone is a woman, so I shouldn't suggest it.

Before the bride could figure out what I was going to do, I grabbed her wrist, bowed forward, gave her a bow, then hugged her thighs and walked out into the river.

"Little sister, I'm very heavy, and your quarrel is actually the last thing I want to see."

"Bride, if you have this fair word, hold me firm, and I will carry you across the river."

Whew

My figure is also on the thin side, and the bride looks at her round face from a distance, and she knows that it is plump, but I didn't expect that it was really heavy, as she said.

I forgot to roll up my trouser legs, my pants were wet, even the stripes of my panties were clearly visible, the icy river water was cold and biting, and I was very careful not to let the corners of the bride's clothes get wet with every step.

Both legs were shaking, and the bride looked at my struggling back, sighed, and put her arms around my neck.

They were still arguing on the bridge, one louder than the other, and they didn't pay attention to the two of us, and they had reached the shore.

"Brother Pao, I'm here! Don't make any noise. ”

Seeing that I was wet from the waist down, and my body was still trembling, the bride was very distressed and took out a tissue from her arms to wipe my face, saying that I was the legendary Xu Chuqi.

I don't know when, I became a legend in Xiatangguan, and even the bride who married from another village knew about me.

I nodded awkwardly and instead of walking along the bridge, I continued to cross the river, and the people standing on the bridge were very moved.

When I went to get dressed and carry the flowers, Zhang Sanpao was very embarrassed, and came over to carry it himself, and when he saw his daughter-in-law's words, his anger immediately disappeared, and he also crossed the river with him.

On this day, I buried the seven coffins safely, and also reburied the coffins of the ancestors of the seven families.......
