Chapter 6: The Taboo of Burning Clothes (New Book Sets Sail for Collection)
"You ask me about this kind of thing?" My whole body is already numb, so I persuaded him to wait for Granny Bai to come back and ask her again.
But Wang Lao couldn't wait, saying that he was in a hurry to go back to take care of the children, and he was also busy offering food, so he had to go back now, and I must tell Granny Bai later.
I nodded again and again, lest what this old man said was so evil, if I stayed for a while, I was afraid that he would provoke dirty things into the store.
After he left, I was alone in the store in a restless state. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Granny Bai to come back, saying that it was about the yin melon, and the people in the town had already asked about it, and they didn't know which village it was found from. After all, the town is surrounded by mountains, and the ten miles and eight villages belong to the mountain construction zone. Even communication is not widespread, let alone inquiring about the news.
"You don't care about that yin gourd," I admonished her, and while telling Granny Bai about what Wang Lao had picked. After listening to this, she decided to close the office and go to Wang Laojiao's house to have a look.
I answered the call and helped Granny Bai out of the door, until I walked to the end of the street... From a distance, I saw the fire protruding, and Wang Lao was already at the door of his house, burning the paper clothes.
I bumped into this scene so badly that I scolded in my heart, but just when I avoided it with my side face and spit three mouthfuls of spit, Wang Laoyan suddenly screamed, and Granny Bai immediately grabbed me: "Something happened!" ”
"What's wrong!?" I shuddered, turned back in fear, and saw that the brazier where Wang Lao was burning his clothes suddenly swept away with the wind, and the fire "boomed", and it sprang up strangely.
Wang Lao was in a hurry at that time, and hurriedly went into the house to carry a basin of water, and was about to be on fire.
"Don't splash water in the brazier." Granny Bai hurriedly admonished. But her voice was weak in her old age, and Wang Laoli didn't hear it at all, so she directly poured water into the brazier, and the fire suddenly dimmed.
"It's over," I don't know well, the older generation of people know that this burning clothes and paper, in fact, the most taboo thing is only half burned, as the so-called taking advantage of the excitement and returning disappointed, this will make them angry. It can be a stomach ache, or a stomachache... Just in the middle of his thoughts, he had already come, and a gust of wind suddenly rose. The wet paper ash in the brazier was rolled up by the wind. Hovering over the brazier, it creates a tornado-like whirlwind.
Looking at this strange scene, Wang Lao stood in place in a daze, trembling all over.
Granny Bai hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over to set up the incense candles, and quickly crossed the three chopsticks and leaned back. Like a three-legged wooden frame, I set up the chopsticks, and then took the yellow paper on the side and tore a flat paper figure. Turned to look back at me: "Hair." ”
I immediately realized and tore a few hairs from the top of Wang Lao's head and gave it to her.
Granny Bai took her hair and immediately tied it to the paper figure. The paper figure stands in front of the chopsticks. In the three cups of the roasted clothes, the glyphs are stacked vertically.
Finally, after holding the bottle high, let the wine flow into the upper glass, the wine overflows, and goes down to the bottom two glasses... Only three glasses of wine were full, and the overflowing wine flowed in the direction of the brazier.
Granny Bai turned around and instructed: "Kneel! ”
Wang Lao didn't even think about it, and knelt down with a plop. Bai Po immediately admonished: "Who you burned just now, now it's like someone who sincerely admits his mistakes." ”
Wang Lao began to kowtow in response: "Mom, don't blame me... Don't blame me! ”
The wine in Bai Po's hand has been poured, but the difference in front of her is still unchanged.
"How?" Granny Bai's cold tone brought out a somewhat threatening tone: "Don't you toast and eat, you still want to eat and drink!" The moment the sound fell, the cold wind stopped suddenly, and the unburned paper ashes fell straight back into the brazier.
Bai Po snorted coldly, lifted a glass of wine and poured it directly into the brazier. It is also strange to say that the moment the wine enters the brazier, it suddenly causes a sudden fire, and those burning paper clothes and banknotes. It's all rekindled.
"It's all right," said Granny Bai, "she has forgiven you for the time being!" ”
"What do you mean temporary?" Wang Lao picked up and asked urgently: "Bai Po, do you mean that my mother will come to me again?" ”
"As the saying goes, people don't get together for no reason, and ghosts don't come without complaints," Bai Posen smiled coldly: "Tonight coincides with the first seven doors, and you can't hide from what you should come!" ”
"Granny Bai," Wang Lao was anxious: "You have to help me!" ”
"Then you can talk about it," Granny Bai asked directly, "Your mother, how did you die at that time?" ”
"She, she," Wang Lao revealed a look of emptiness: "She was in the hospital, the rescue was not urgent, and she died on the hospital bed without waiting for the next day's operation!" ”
The white mother-in-law laughed like a ghost, and the laughing Wang Lao was stunned in his heart. In fact, I can best understand Wang Lao's feelings.
Because Granny Bai often said that she walked the path of yin and yang, and often dealt with ghosts and gods. Therefore, it is inevitable that her body will be too heavy with yin qi and contaminated with dead qi.
That face is just like the ghost woman in a horror movie, and I feel hairy in my heart when I look at her. Coupled with her cold ghost-weeping voice: "You're lying... For no reason, how could your mother be a ghost and not let you go? ”
"I," Wang Lao looked at Bai Po and was already scared into a cold sweat... Granny Bai's eyes suddenly changed, and she said in detail: "If it is the end of life, people who have reached the end of their lives will naturally have ghosts to guide them and report to Chenghuang." But if Yang is a person who has not lived an end of life and has suffered an accident or murder, it is a death... After death, it is also called a ghost with a grudge, this kind of ghost will linger in the yang world for a period of time, until the resentment in the heart is calmed, and then it will go to the city god to report. ”
Granny Bai asked him in a ghostly voice: "Then tell me... Are you haunted by a ghost who has been killed now? ”
"Not counting!" Wang Lao slammed his spirit, and trembled and re-mentioned: "My mother died of illness, and she didn't wait for the next day's surgery." ”
But Granny Bai obviously didn't believe this, and stared at him with suspicious eyes......
