Chapter 1 Longevity Umbrella Destiny

Next Chapter

My name is Chen Tian, born in Chenjia Village, I heard rumors from the villagers, I am a corpse child, yin qi, the most unlucky, born on the lunar day of the lunar year, said that I was favored by the Lord of Yama, this life is full of disasters and difficulties, and short life, it is a taboo in the village.

They told me that three days before I was born, my mother went to the mountains to look for my father with a big belly, and she accidentally slipped into a ditch, hit her head by a boulder, and died on the spot.

On the day my mother was put into the coffin, it rained very hard, and my father found a feng shui treasure to bury my mother.

The village chief immediately asked my father to carry my mother's coffin up, saying that it was not suitable for burial here, which disturbed Thunder God Qingxiu, and that was to be punished.

My dad didn't like to listen to this nonsense, and he was going to bury the earth with a shovel.

But as soon as he started, the thunder came again, directly splitting the lid of his mother's coffin, and the village chief was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging Thor's forgiveness.

The rest of the people looked inside the coffin, in addition to the mother's corpse, there was also a milk doll, covered in blood, and when they saw people, they cried 'wow'.

My dad found that my mother's belly was small, and the milk doll was born to her death, and when my crying sounded, the rainy day dispersed, and the thunder gradually disappeared.

But it is not a good thing to have a child after all, and the village chief suggested that my father bury me alive so that the villagers would not be unlucky.

My family has been passed down from generation to generation, and if I am gone, then my father will have no successor.

Ignoring the village chief's words, he carried me out of the coffin, and there was a lot of discussion in the village, and they all felt that getting too close to my house would touch their heads, and they didn't associate with my father.

My dad took care of me until I was three years old, and when I went out to farm, I fell into the river and drowned.

In the end, I grew up with my second uncle, Chen Gong, and he regarded me as his own.

Originally, the village chief was going to lose me, but it took a long time for the second uncle to persuade me to save my life.

The village chief said: "If you want to stay in Chen Tian, don't live in the village, he has killed his father, do you want to lose your life?" The people in the village are afraid, so let's go. ”

The second uncle took me to live not far from the village, and opened a shroud shop, with two coffins outside the door, I asked the second uncle, why didn't you bring it in? He said that it would be used to town the house, so that the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods would not find me.

I have heard about the second uncle, my father often tells me that he is very powerful, can calculate feng shui, can also draw rune paper, listen to the village people, the second uncle also deals with ghosts and gods, others call him 'yin and yang scholar', I am also skeptical.

Over the years, I have followed the second uncle, written and read, and learned some skills, and I can also tie paper figures, string copper coins, and give two coffins red paint on the fifteenth day of every month.

A few days ago, I just turned eighteen and received a university notice, and my second uncle was happy to drink a lot more.

Today's weather outside, the rain is particularly heavy, and the strange thing is that there is no thunder, and the heavy rain will block the view.

Previously, the second uncle also received a list to send a birthday umbrella to a family in the village.

I saw that it was inconvenient in the rainy day, so I offered to send it, his legs were prone to rheumatism on rainy days, I helped him lie down, and went out with a bunch of umbrellas at the door.

To go down the mountain have to pass through a cemetery, many people in the village will bury the dead here, when I passed, I saw that the cemetery next to it was lonely, the tombstone was constantly blown by the wind of the stones, I looked at the longevity umbrella in my hand, stretched it out, fixed it with soil, and blocked the longevity umbrella next to the tombstone, before leaving with confidence.

When I came back after delivering the umbrella, the second uncle woke up and sat at the door smoking a long cigarette.

As soon as he saw me, the long smoke fell to the ground, his eyes were frightened, and he pulled me into the house quickly.

"Xiao Tian, what did you do when you went out?" The second uncle's tone was very hurried, I had never seen him like this in the past.

I told my second uncle what happened along the way, he lowered his hands, picked up the long cigarette, and kept saying the words 'you can't hide, you have to hide'.

"Second uncle, what's wrong with you?"

I don't know why the second uncle suddenly changed his face, his feet were unstable and he almost fell, and he helped the second uncle, he grabbed my arm tightly, and his breathing was amplified.

"Do you know that the oil-paper umbrella sends affection, and the longevity umbrella sends it to the cemetery, which is to send you to get married!"

The first time I heard about this kind of thing, I didn't know anything about ghosts and gods, so I felt that the second uncle was scaring himself.

"Second uncle, you just look at feng shui to scare yourself, I really have nothing to do."

But he dragged me into the room, and I tripped over the threshold under my feet, and I heard a 'clang', and a golden phoenix hairpin fell from the cuff of my robe, and I don't remember having such a thing on me.

If you look closely, it's something that only women use, and it's been going on for some years.

I picked it up and took a look, the second uncle hurriedly grabbed it, his pupils gradually dilated, and the slow coughing continued, I went to the table to get tea, "Second uncle, don't worry, if you have anything to say." ”

As I spoke, I used my hand to smooth him out, the second uncle's face was gloomy, and he held the golden phoenix hairpin tightly in his hand, and his gaze at me became iron-blue.

"If you can't run away, you will be favored by her, so she will give you the object of love."

Commitment?!

I'm so old that I don't even have a girlfriend, and it's really weird.

"The longevity umbrella is to send the deceased, to protect them from the sun and disasters, I let you send the red longevity umbrella, that is the thing of marriage, that family wants the family to marry a good daughter-in-law in the underworld, you give it to the person next to you, she will entangle you, want your life! Gotta go to hell with her! ”

The second uncle didn't look like a joke, I recalled the name engraved on the tombstone, Shen Qingqiu, was a girl.

I saw that the second uncle hurriedly went to the drawer and turned out a red rope, pierced my finger with a golden phoenix hairpin, smeared the blood on the end of the rope, and put it in my wrist.

"Second uncle, can this thing prevent her?" The soles of my feet are cold at this point.

It was broad daylight, and I was covered in a chill.

"I can only prevent this disaster for you, you will lie in the coffin tonight, remember that no matter what, you can't make a sound, and wait until you hear the first rooster crow, and then come out of the coffin." After the second uncle helped explain this, he returned the golden phoenix hairpin to me, and asked me to bite the copper coin at night, and I must not let go.

I felt a chill behind my back, and I always felt a pair of invisible cold hands touching my neck, and my uneasy thoughts became stronger and stronger, and the second uncle mixed cinnabar with black dog blood, drew a few yellow talismans, and pasted them on both sides of the door.

After experiencing this, I was restless, thinking that Shen Qingqiu came to the door, the bloody mouth, rolling the white eyes and bulging eyeballs, and my legs couldn't stop trembling.

Ten o'clock in the evening.

The shroud hanging in the lobby was blown by the cold wind outside.

The red candle flickered.

The rain stopped, and the water on the ground had not yet receded, so the second uncle took a shroud soaked in black dog blood from the bedroom and gave it to me, and told me to put it on.

"You have to remember what I told you before, you must not be taken away by that female ghost tonight!"

"Second uncle, this smells so fishy, can you change it?" I retched a few times, and I almost threw up the food I ate at night.

It's a pity that the second uncle didn't discuss with me, pulled me over and put it on, pushed me into the coffin, and asked me to open the coffin lid with my own hands.

Speaking of which, I have been with my second uncle for so long, and I have never seen him open these two coffins, and in addition to being afraid, I am also a little more curious.
