Chapter 639: Burial

I was startled, and when I looked sideways, I saw Meng Qin standing by the kang.

A touch of cold moonlight shone on him through the gap in the curtain, like a cold blade, the cold light reflected his three-dimensional and cold eyebrows, and let me clearly see the blood stains on his white shirt.

"Meng Qin?"

I looked at him in horror, "Why are you here?" Your clothes are full of blood......

"Is this one?" Look at the book

He lowered his eyes to look at the snow-white shirt that was almost ruddy, raised his dark eyes, and actually smiled sadly at me, "Didn't you hurt it, your heart, how can you be so ruthless."

"No, it's not me ......!!"

I sat up from the kang again—

The room was half bright and half dark, and his throat seemed to itch, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.

Subconsciously looking at the curtains, the morning glow shone softly behind the cloth, and the air on the tip of the nose was also slightly cold.

OK......

What I saw and felt was at least real.

A dream within a dream?

I'm having this kind of serial dream again.

trembling for a while, until I heard the sound of Sister Xiaoling cooking in the kitchen.

I raised my hand to wipe the thin sweat overflowing from my forehead, and when I touched the palm of my hand, my skin was still numb and uneven.

After getting dressed and going to the ground, I looked in the mirror, and the skin allergy symptoms really worsened.

Against the backdrop of the rash, the whole face is red like a monkey's buttocks.

The hand doesn't hurt to the touch, but it's a little swollen, and it looks like a heavy hormone face seen on TV.

It seems that I really want to go back, and if I live again, I am afraid that I will have a rash all over my body, and I can scare the child to cry when I walk out of the door.

At breakfast, I saw that my brother-in-law and Sister Xiaoling were worried, so I lied to them that they had taken desensitization medicine.

I went back to my room and sat down for a while, calming down my emotions.

When it was time to meet with the victim, he and Qian'an drove to the foot of the mountain to meet Brother Lin's family.

Digging in the village is a big or small thing, and it will be more difficult to go to the point now, and you need to find a place first for Mr. to drill into the mountains and forests.

Brother Lin has an ancestral grave at home, and his father's position is set aside in advance, which is a small job for Mr. Yin and Yang.

They asked me to come over and take a look at the size and depth of the dig.

After all, the years have changed, and now there are very few large coffins for burial, and they are generally put in a small coffin containing ashes.

Some family members will use the urn to bury directly, but the urn burial also has a talking head, which cannot be attached to the ground, and will be covered with cloth on the top and bottom.

After the greetings, Brother Lin took his relatives to take the sacrificial offerings, and carried hoes and farm tools to take Qian'an and me towards the mountains.

On the way, they also took care of me, and during this time, my popularity in the village was high, and they also had many problems.

Since they want to dig holes, they are naturally curious about whether the size of the pit for the burial is unified across the country, and whether there is any special saying that the deceased is buried deep and shallow, I don't know if other gentlemen like to talk about these things, but for me, it is in the middle of the heart.

As long as it's not a taboo topic and doesn't involve tongue-in-cheek, if you're willing to listen, I'm willing to talk about it.

Just when you hear a novelty, I do do consumption, save the old cough.

Many people say thick burial and thin burial, these two words in my opinion not only refer to the scale of the funeral, but also include the deep burial of shallow one, if you live in the rain in the south, pay attention to more, there are also customs will build bricks and walls inside the tomb to prevent excessive rain, the tomb collapses, and my hometown there is a hard geology, and there is a cold winter, so there is no custom in this area.

I have been exposed to the funeral industry and have found that there are many differences in the funeral culture between the North and the South.

The south will pay more attention to details, for example, the burial date after the death of the deceased, you must find a day that is very good to the descendants and does not commit the crime to be buried, and the time to find the day is as short as one or two months, and it is not uncommon for a long year or two.

In the north, it is simplified, and the white affair is generally three days, as long as it is buried

There is no conflict between the day and the deceased, and the funeral can basically be ended quickly, and then the burning of the seven matters will continue.

So in my opinion, there is no uniform standard for the size and depth of the burial pit.

In this regard, Mr. must look at the local climate, topography, soil quality, and customs and culture to make corresponding adjustments and arrangements.

Otherwise, you buried the person in a daze, caught up with the rainy season, and the coffin was washed out in a few days, is it scary?

The size of the pit is generally half a foot longer than the length and width of the coffin, about one and a half meters deep, and two to three meters deeper.

It depends on the size of the pipe, and it also depends on the fate of the deceased who is buried.

Of course, most ordinary people will not bury too deeply.

It's just because there is a saying that it is buried too deep to press the children and grandchildren.

I also knew everything along the way, Brother Lin's expressions like listening to stories, and praised me again and again, saying that I had a good temper and patience, I couldn't cry or laugh in my heart, and I could indeed consume a lot of chatter, but I came back as soon as I was praised.

The co-author is one in and one out, and it's all played in vain!

While talking, he arrived at the ancestral grave of Brother Lin's family.

It is still arranged from high to low.

At the top is the grave of Brother Lin's grandfather and grandmother.

On the left-hand side below is the grave of his grandparents, and on the left-hand side below is the grave of his deceased uncle.

His father's generation is three brothers, the uncle has died, and he is buried on the left hand side of the opposite side, the middle is the place left for Brother Lin's father, and the far right is the open space left for Brother Lin's uncle who is still alive.

This kind of thing is very common, and many families with ancestral graves will set aside a burial place for future generations of men in advance.

Brother Lin brought four or five relatives, including his uncle, and I also called him uncle.

They had all dug up the recipes before, so they went first to deliver a few pieces of paper to the land in the order I had commanded.

Then send three pieces of dark paper to the elders' graves one by one.

There is no need to burn more, and it is not here to send sacrifices, but it is just chattering that the ground is about to be broken, and it may be a little disturbing.

After the paper was delivered, the relatives of Brother Lin's family knelt down in front of the land to be excavated under my arrangement, arranged the offerings, lit incense and bowed, and then I picked up a thick wooden stick and walked to the back of the grave to be excavated.

Standing silently, I pulled off my mask, closed my eyes to feel the direction of the wind, and moved slightly when my cheeks felt like a knife, until the wind was not strong and my breath was smooth, I opened my eyes and raised my thumb to compare.

Looking ahead, it is necessary to determine that it is the central axis, but also to sense that the aura is appropriate, which is the vertical direction.

Of course, according to the usual I can stand directly, now we have to be more professional, I still took out the compass from the bag, corresponding to the magnetic needle, and then knocked down the wooden stick at the center point behind the tomb, tied the red line brought, walked to the front of the tomb to be excavated, and when the compass pointer coincided, knocked down another wooden stick again, pulled the red line and tied it, made a center line, and played the effect of a ruler.

Then I called Brother Lin and asked him about his physiognomy, and after making sure that there was no problem, I continued to advise, "You will dig the first few shovels for a while, let me say, you dig it, do you understand?"
