Chapter 30: You'd Rather Walk Barefoot

"Think about it yourself," Granny Bai said, "Are you letting the deceased Ah Gong Xu treat you as a debt collector?"

"I," I paused, recalling what had happened.....

Three days ago, that night in the Inquiry Hall, Ah Gong Xu also transferred the money to Second Brother Xu.

At that time, he didn't mean to harm me, even if it was a ghost, it was a kind face.

Wait a minute... Thinking about it, my expression changed abruptly. After thinking about it, after I called Second Brother Xu down that night, he still said loudly that the rent would be delayed for two days.

At that time, Ah Gong Xu disappeared, and when I returned to the office, I saw Ah Gong Xu waving to me.

It won't be wrong, then Ah Gong Xu must have regarded me as the one who forced his son to pay back.

Later, in front of the mourning hall, I leaned on the blue brick house, and I only thought that I was the one who came to collect debts and money.

As soon as that thought came to my heart, I took a nap, and in my dream, Ah Gong Xu beckoned to me again.

The more I thought about it, the more certain I became, "Granny Bai, it seems that this is really what you said!"

Granny Bai let out a long sigh: "That night, I told Xu Erwa that he didn't need to give the rent and paper money, so he would treat it as a door-to-door condolence, and he would mourn the money for the white matter to Grandpa Xu."

"You don't want any money?" My eyes widened, a little incredulous.

I thought to myself, aren't we here just for the money?

Granny Bai hurriedly booed: "You bastard, do you want to die?"

"I," I was dumbfounded, and at the same time I listened to Granny Bai say that Ah Gong Xu's dying anger was directed at those debt collectors.

The obsession before death is also unable to let go of his son.

This money is just someone who helps the Xu family. "Forget it," Granny Bai thought about it, she was cold-faced and kind-hearted.

Only I know that if she is so generous, then this month's living expenses have become a problem.

Looking at the environment by the river, I can't help but sigh that this is simply a fairyland on earth, no wonder Xu Ah Guild chose to be buried in this water.

I couldn't help but murmur, "Could it be Ah Gong Xu, who has any special feelings for the river at the mouth of this village?"

"What emotion can this have?" Granny Bai said coldly, "It's just that I can't let go of the two brothers of the Xu family, and I don't want to cause trouble for them after I die!" Otherwise, the leaves will fall and return to their roots, and if it is not a person from the Tibetan area or the mountain area, who would want to be buried in water?"

I was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, didn't I?

Granny Bai then said: "Xu Erwa has a butt of gambling debts, how can she have the money to do these aftermaths... The eldest of the Xu family, he doesn't even have a family, and he doesn't have any spare money. Ah Gong Xu knew the difficulties of these two brothers, so he simplified the aftermath... It's just a coincidence that I met Qian Daochang and talked about resentment. Otherwise, the Xu family would not have invited a Taoist priest to overdue. The two brothers of the Xu family really have no money, and it is precisely because I see that they are still borrowing money for the funeral, so I don't plan to ask for rent and paper money... These two brothers, even the coffin used for the funeral, was borrowed from someone else's longevity!"

I was confused: "Can you borrow a coffin?"

"Heh," Granny Bai smiled coldly, "Haven't you heard that you'd rather try someone's coffin than wear other people's shoes?"

My nervous neck shrank, and Granny Bai finally said this!

My toes are clenched... Listening to Granny Bai's whisper, "How many times have I warned you on weekdays?"

She whispered in my ear.

I knew that I was wrong, and I didn't refute it, after all, she had warned me more than once before, and the saying that I would rather try someone's coffin than wear other people's shoes is a common saying left over from ancient times to the present.

It is also the taboo of those people in the past, since it can be passed down to this day, there must be a reason in it. And this coffin is not just a coffin.

It can also be seen as a crown of clothing, which means that you can try on someone else's hat, but you must not wear someone else's shoes. Because the older generation of people thought that shoes were the most unclean items on the human body, and that they were the only things that could come into contact with dirt.

There are also people who think that "shoes" is the same as "evil". if

If you try on someone else's shoes and turn on yourself, that's not a good thing. will therefore block disasters and attract evil for others.

Granny Bai often said that this is not alarmist, it has been particularly taboo since ancient times, so in the world of the older generation, the words "stepping in" and breaking shoes have never been good words.

Therefore, in the past, there was another common saying, which is that it is better to walk barefoot than to borrow people's shoes!

In the middle of his thoughts, the funeral procession had come to the riverside at the entrance of the village......

Granny Bai immediately stopped me: "Jiang Cheng, you can't go over, when you send the mourner into the river, you must not see you!"

With that, Granny Bai asked me to turn around and stand by the river, with my back to the funeral river... I don't know when she prepared a raw egg.

She put the egg in my mouth and said, "Put the egg in your mouth to cover up your yang energy. But you must remember that the egg in your mouth must not break!"

I was stunned, and because of the egg in my mouth, I could only make a strange sound.

But Granny Bai still understood, and tried to confirm, "You want to ask, what will happen if the egg breaks?"

I took the egg in my mouth and nodded with an "um" sound.

Granny Bai's eyebrows sank: "Then Grandpa Xu, I will pull you on the road!"

I looked at Granny Bai in horror, trying to take her hand and let her stay here with me... Granny Bai understood what I meant.

But he still waved his hand: "I'm going to the estuary, and at the time of the funeral, I'm going to burn your raw geng, and I'm cutting your hair and mixing rice, and feeding it to the chickens. Let that stand-in chicken stick to your yang energy."

I was really scared.

Seeing my frightened look, Granny Bai comforted me: "Don't be afraid, you just need to remember that you must not turn back when you send the mourner down the river. If you are really afraid, then you should close your eyes, but you must not fall asleep, as long as you remember what I said, you will be safe......

Granny Bai nodded firmly, but just as she turned to leave, her eyes inadvertently saw the shoes on my feet again.

Her expression couldn't help but sink because of this, and it became quite worried.
