Chapter 19: Cremation Meets Rain
"Blind to death!"
I immediately rushed over to check on the old man.
If you don't close your eyes when you die, you must have some unfulfilled wish before you die, or something special happened before you die!
"Master!"
Liu Qinghong was sitting in the house drinking tea with me, and when he saw me running out, he also trotted all the way out.
I was now at the old man's bones.
When I saw the old man's bones before, I didn't see anything wrong, except that his face was a little weird when he died.
This is normal, after all, this old man of the Liu family died of illness, and he is definitely not as peaceful as his face of natural death.
But now Old Man Liu is dead, and there are still two lines of blood and tears......
Wait, that's not blood and tears!
I spotted the clue and reached out to reach out to Old Man Liu's open eyesβthe upper part of the eyelids, to be exact.
Old man Liu's eyelids are open, and the upper eyelids are stuck to part of the lower eyelids, which should be dead and blind, and the upper and lower eyelids are forcibly glued together perfectly with super glue.
Now that he is about to be buried in the cave, Old Man Liu is dead and blind, so he broke the rope and fell into the coffin, and reopened his eyes - and because the upper and lower eyelids were forcibly glued together with super glue before, he opened his eyes again, and the upper eyelids directly tore off part of the lower eyelids.
Those two lines of bloody tears are the blood that flowed from the wound on the lower eyelid that was torn open!
"Mr. Liu!"
I turned my head and looked at Liu Qinghong with an unkind face: "This is different from what you told me before, you told me before that your old man died of illness, and there is nothing unusual after death, so why do you want to glue the upper and lower eyelids?" β
"Master ......"
Liu Qinghong walked over and said apologetically: "I don't want to do this either, after all, it was the deceased who used the means, and I hope the master will not spread this matter." β
I nodded, and continued to ask with the unkind face just now: "Don't worry about this, I won't spread it, but you have to tell me, what is going on with Old Man Liu?" Why do you not see what you are dying? β
Liu Qinghong sighed, a little grinding and chirping, but under my repeated requests, he still told the story of this matter.
He said that although Old Man Liu was very good to both of them on the surface, he actually preferred the second son, that is, the youngest son Liu Qingyuan.
His eldest son could only take over the family's local business in the past, and all the family's business outside was handed over to Liu Qingyuan, which also caused the younger son Liu Qingyuan to be often away from home.
Even when Old Man Liu was seriously ill, his youngest son Liu Qingyuan only came to see him once or twice.
Before he died, Mr. Liu was already in great pain because of his illness, and Liu Qinghong, as the eldest son, wanted to give up treatment more than once, but when he thought of Mr. Liu's favorite youngest son Liu Qingyuan, he did not come back to see his old father for the last time, and endured the heartache to continue Mr. Liu's painful life.
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and in the end, Old Man Liu still did not survive until the arrival of his youngest son Liu Qingyuan, and he died without turning a blind eye.
"That's ...... thing"
Liu Qinghong sighed: "The old man has suffered too much in his life, and his last wish before his death has not been fulfilled, I want to spread this matter and affect the reputation of our Liu family, so I have to ......"
I understand, and I understand.
Suffering greatly before death, and not seeing the youngest son who is most loved before death, it is indeed possible to form a situation where you will not be able to see your eyes.
I nodded to Liu Qinghong, and the unkindness on my face disappeared: "If that's the case, then this matter is reasonable." β
"Is it still buried?" Liu Qinghong asked me, "Do you want to ...... the old man again?"
"No, you can't deal with it so easily, the old man had an obsession before leaving, and this obsession made the old man breathe half a breath in his throat." I looked at the old man Liu who was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, "If the whole body is buried now, such a feng shui treasure cave, the corpse will definitely change within half a year, and the Liu family will be ruined by then!" β
"Broken family?"
These four words scared Liu Qinghong enough, and he grabbed my arm tightly with both hands: "Master! You must save us! Gotta save me! Although this is not something I want to do, I really don't want the Liu family to be ruined! What's next? Tell me! β
I sighed: "I said that I can't bury the whole body, and now I can only be cremated." Mr. Liu, you have to collect the branches of the lychee tree now, use the lychee branches to cremate the body of Old Man Liu, and then bury it in this cave. In this way, the effect of Feng Shui Treasure Acupoint may decrease, but it is enough to protect your Liu family. β
"I ......" I wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper like this, but thinking that if there was something in the middle, it would be very troublesome to go back and forth, so I hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm just here to watch, come to me if there's anything!" β
"Good!"
Liu Qinghong nodded vigorously, then turned his head and shouted to the hired people, asking them to collect the branches of the lychee tree, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to make a call, and asked his subordinates to collect the lychee branches.
It's just that the wood is very easy to collect, but the lychee wood is not easy to collect, from the morning to Liu's house, the morning up the mountain, until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, finally collected enough cremation branches.
Surrounded the branches into a firewood stack, and put the body of Old Man Liu on it, Liu Qinghong personally lit the lychee branches.
The collected branches were very dry and did not have much smoke, and taking advantage of the wind on the hill, a raging fire soon ignited, and the flames burned from all sides to the center.
Seeing that the flames were about to scorch Old Man Liu's body, but at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the clear sky, and a dark cloud floated from nowhere in the sky, just stopping above us.
"It can't be such a coincidence......"
I looked at the dark clouds overhead, and before I could finish my sentence, the rain fell heavily.
Standing on the hill, I could see the traffic in the city below, but this was the only part of the rain, and there was no room in the city.
And there was not much rain under a small dark cloud, which just extinguished all the fires that had just been lit, and all the lychee branches were burned into black charcoal, only the body of the old man Liu lying in the center did not change at all.
Even the shroud he was wearing was only wet from the rain, with a few more pleats.
"It's a sunny day with dark clouds, and the cremation of corpses is rainy, this is not right! This is very wrong! β
I kicked the dirt on the soles of my feet, and it was only wet from the rain, and the soil below the surface was still dry.
This shows that the rain just now was only to extinguish the fire.
I turned my head and stared at Liu Qinghong coldly: "Mr. Liu! You still have something to hide from me! β
