I was so frightened that I hurriedly avoided Granny Bai's eyes and hid behind Second Brother Xu.

Although Second Brother Xu didn't know what he meant, when he saw Granny Bai coming back, he immediately invited Granny Bai to sit down out of politeness, saying that it had rained too much in the past two days. The rain has just stopped. After dinner, we will prepare for the funeral.

"Wait," I poked my head out, surprised, "funeral at night?"

Seriously, I've never heard of a funeral at night.

But when I poked my head and touched the complaining eyes of Granny Bai, I immediately retracted my head.

Taking advantage of the stall of the opening table, I pretended to help the main family, and deliberately stayed away from Granny Bai.

Even eating, I didn't go over. Accompanied Second Brother Xu to sit down.

During the dinner, I asked Second Brother Xu curiously, "Why did you choose to go out for the funeral at night?"

Second Brother Xu was also a little incomprehensible about this, and only said that when his father was in his last breath, he explained the aftermath, and it was the water burial he requested.

I asked embarrassedly, "What does this water burial mean?"

"You don't even know that? It's a shame that you still asked Granny Bai about something," Second Brother Xu taunted, and then told me that this water burial is also the oldest burial method in the world... As the name suggests, it is a burial method in which the body of the deceased is thrown into rivers, lakes and seas.

There are also three different ways of water burial, namely the floating corpse type, the river throwing type and the ash scattering type.

But if you really want to talk about it, water burial is a common custom in Tibetan areas.

In the ten miles and eight villages built in our mountains, it is really rare. Even Second Brother Xu said that in these ten miles and eight towns, he has never heard of any family that chooses to be buried by water.

However, considering that it was Xu Agong's confession before his death, he also designated the river where the water was buried at the entrance of the village. Therefore, the people of the Xu family also followed the wishes of the deceased.

After eating, the Xu family, who wore linen and filial piety, respectfully invited Qian Daochang to preside over the funeral ceremony.

It was also at this time that I discovered that the funeral coffin chicken had a red crown... It seems that the night before yesterday, Granny Bai asked Second Brother Xu to find the two.

One was killed that night, and this should be the remaining one.

Because on it, there is still yellow paper, cinnabar is ink, and my name is written Sheng Geng, I was surprised to confirm this to Second Brother Xu.

Second Brother Xu nodded and said, this is all Mrs. Bai begging Qian Daochang for help, saying all the kind words of her mother-in-law, and stuffing red envelopes to Qian Daochang.

That Qian Daochang was willing to help after receiving the red envelope, so that your stand-in chicken would be used as a coffin chicken, and when it would be buried, the chicken would be sent in for burial. In the future, my father will not be pestering you.

After speaking, Second Brother Xu walked into the funeral procession, picked up the white sail with his filial son and grandson, and held the portrait.

And I hesitated in place for a moment, especially when I heard what Second Brother Xu said at the end, I felt quite uncomfortable.

Granny Bai didn't receive the money this time, but used a lot of money because of my bad things a few times.

I can't ignore her just because I'm afraid she'll say a few words about me!

After some struggle, I walked back.

After supporting Granny Bai and watching Qian Daochang drop the bowl from a distance, the people of the Xu family began to cry and mourn.

We followed the line from afar, along with our relatives who were mourning.

After walking a long way, Granny Bai didn't talk to me, and I was uneasy.

Afraid that Granny Bai would be angry, I simply found a random conversation: "Granny Bai, I heard that this Grandpa Xu is buried in water tonight!"

Granny Bai snorted coldly: "Then do you know, is he the kind of form in the water burial?"

"I," I was stunned for an embarrassed moment, only to hear Second Brother Xu say that there are three forms of water burial, but I didn't ask in detail what kind of funeral was used for tonight's funeral.

At this moment, I can't wait to slap myself, which pot is not opened, why am I so unkind to find a topic

Under the heavy eyebrows, Granny Bai saw my thoughts, so she told me in detail on the road that there are three ways of water burial, namely the floating corpse type, the river throwing type and the ash scattering type.

The so-called drifting corpse pose

It is to put the dead body on a specially made death boat, put it into the rivers, lakes and seas, and let it drift naturally. Wherever you drift, there is a beautiful destination for the dead.

The second is the river throwing pose, which is to carry the dead body to the river and dismember, throw it into the river, or wrap the body in a cloth and throw it into the river, which is to worship the river god.

The last is the ash scattering type, which many people have heard of, that is, the ashes after cremation are scattered into the rivers, lakes and seas. This is also a type of water burial.

In the past two days, Granny Bai has also heard people say... At that time, before Xu Ah Gong died, he explained what happened after his death when he was buried with water. The eldest brother of the Xu family thought that after cremation, he scattered the ashes into the river.

But Xu Ah Gong emphasized that he should make a bamboo raft and let him go down the river and float wherever he goes.

When Xu Ah Gong was angry, it happened that Qian Daochang in the village was passing by, and the eldest brother of the Xu family asked about Qian Daochang.

After hearing this, Qian Daochang asserted that Ah Gong Xu died with resentment, and no matter what kind of funeral he chosen, he must burn enough money and do enough Dharma for three days to make him settle that grievance.

Therefore, the eldest brother of the Xu family hurriedly asked Xu Er to bring paper from the town that night.

Speaking of this, Granny Bai suddenly remembered to ask me, "Do you know why Ah Gong Xu suddenly entangled you and insisted on taking you away?"

"Why!?" I've always found it strange too.

If it's really like what Granny Bai said, people don't get together for no reason, and ghosts don't come without complaints.

That good and dignified Ah Gong Xu, why did he entangle me?

After all, no matter what I thought, I didn't bump into him!
