Forty-one corpses
Xu Gui's family did a lot of white things, at midnight the wind suddenly rose, blowing the dust in the yard, and a howl of a wild cat came from the roof of this work, and Xu Gui's corpse was deceived when it landed!
The dead man sat up on the bed, and stood still. The boss of the Xu family, who was guarding the spirit, was so frightened that his hair exploded and he stayed on the spot. He saw the dead man sitting still, waited for a moment, and then trembled and stepped forward to check, and just as he stretched out his hand tremblingly and was about to touch the dead man's back, the dead man's throat suddenly made a strange whining sound, which frightened the boss and quickly withdrew his hand.
At this moment, the corpse suddenly turned over and jumped off the bed, put its legs together, twisted in front of the boss, let out a roar, and pounced on it with open arms.
The boss was so frightened that he screamed, and retreated, just this scream, saying that his daughter-in-law and the second child, even the few brothers who pushed pai gow in the hut were alarmed, and the monks who chanted the scriptures in the shed came out to watch, and the feelings of these monks were not really monks, they were all fake monks who shaved their heads and mixed with white things, and these people had never seen this battle, they were so frightened that they were fart, the five Buddha crowns on their heads were also crooked, and the beads in their hands were scattered, and the small gongs and drums were scattered all over the place, and everyone rushed to run out of the courtyard.
The two of them, hearing the eldest brother's shout, hurriedly went out of the house to check, and the family did all the white things and lay down in clothes, so they pulled the door and jumped into the courtyard. Just now a whirlwind blew, the lights and candles inside and outside the house were extinguished, it was dark all around, and the second child couldn't see what was going on, only to see the eldest brother sitting at the door of the mourning hall sifting chaff all over his body, and there was a figure in the mourning hall jumping and jumping, bringing down the offering table, and the spirit cards, incense candles, and tributes on the table fell all over the ground, and the incense burner and wax collided and jingled.
Pushing pai gow a few little buddies, this time also ran to the courtyard, but was just knocked down by the fake monk who ran out, and fell to the ground with a puff, you pressed me, I stepped on him, for a while there was chaos, the cry was endless, and even the neighbors around the courtyard were alarmed, and they put on their clothes and opened the courtyard door to look at this side.
The eldest daughter-in-law saw the eldest sitting on the ground sifting chaff, and reached out to help. The second child ran quickly to the house of the mourning hall, and at this time, Xu Gui's corpse was jumping to the door, almost colliding with the second child. Under the hazy moonlight, Xu Gui's face was pale and stiff, and he was suddenly so frightened that the second child's hair stood on end, and a cool breath came down his spine.
At this time, not only the second child saw it, but also the few people who fell together in the courtyard saw it, and the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, only to hear someone shouting:
"It's amazing! Corpse fraud! ”
Just this sound, the whole courtyard was fried, who had seen this scene when they were so big, one by one, they hugged their heads and scurried, and under the moonlight, they saw Xu Gui open his mouth, and he was about to bite. The second child mixed garlic under his feet, and when he took two steps back and fell down, he was about to be hugged by Xu Gui, who pounced on him, if he was hugged, he wouldn't let go!
The boss was still in a hurry, remembering that the elders had said that as long as the corpse was held with a flat pole, the corpse would immediately lie down and not move. So he hurriedly grabbed the flat pole standing in the corner of the wall, slapped the flat pole on the corpse, and the corpse made a strange scream, hugged the flat pole, and fell down in response!
The people in the courtyard were shocked, those who could run ran and those who could walk, and those who couldn't walk were out of the hospital. The boss saw that the corpse was not moving, so he picked up the second child who fell to the ground and ran out of the hospital together. Everyone stood outside the courtyard and looked at it for a while, and when they saw that there was no movement of the corpse, the boss was bold and walked into the courtyard. He leaned over to the corpse and observed it carefully for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement, he asked people to carry his father's corpse back to the auspicious board, and asked the second child to go to the nearby Tongtian Temple to find Zhang Laodao, who knew magic, and came to the house to exorcise evil spirits.
Everyone was afraid that the corpse would move again, so they took a rope and tied Xu Gui's corpse and the flat pole in his arms, along with the auspicious board. A few helpers tied up and hurriedly ran outside, the boss was quite calm, wiped Xu Gui's face, covered the quilt, and then hid out of the mourning hall, standing in the courtyard with everyone, waiting for the second child to invite Zhang Laodao.
Zhang Laodao, who has a view of the heavens, is a half-old man in his fifties, who often says that he studied art in Longhu Mountain, and learned from the master of the mountain Taoism, and is good at driving away evil spirits and curing ghosts, and subduing demons. Anyway, it blew quite loudly, but no one had ever seen him exorcise demons and demons. This time, let the second child of the Xu family invite, the big guy is a small knife and his butt is opened. Sensei said that it is really not bad, the guy has everything in place, and after putting it on the altar, Zhang Laodao stepped on the gang and fought, with his apprentices, even playing with thoughts, civil and military with fighting, this courtyard is a gong!
From midnight last night to this morning, the altar has been opened and two rituals have been performed. Zhang Laodao said that this is an evil spirit entering the house, so that the ghost charm is pasted on the lintel to prevent foreign evil from entering the house. The eldest daughter-in-law of this family asked, this ghost can't get in, and the ghost of her father-in-law Xu Gui can't get out, and they together put down the evil and Xu Gui!
Zhang Laodao hurriedly explained, saying that Xu Gui's ghost had already been taken away by the ghost, and this corpse was a foreign evil entering the body, and he couldn't wait for the night to send him away, and then do another ritual, and he had to be buried as soon as the sun was in full swing at noon.
The neighbors outside the courtyard heard that the Xu family had cheated the corpse, and they said everything. Some people say that Xu Gui'er was not affected by the wind, but because he got a bumper (a bumper is an evil one) and made the lonely ghost entangled, so in the middle of the night, the cat barked so frightened that the corpse was defrauded. Some say that this is borrowing the corpse to return the soul, saying that Xu Gui's ghost has already left, and this is a lonely soul and wild ghost passing by, attached to him to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul. Some also asked, this borrowing corpse to resurrect the soul is not looking for a young one, looking for a big old man buried in loess to the neck stalk, and he can't live for a few days after returning the yang, so he doesn't have to die! Some are even more outrageous, saying that Xu Gui was not a boat runner in his early years, he was smuggling tobacco and soil, or trafficking in human beings, killing people and goods, and lacking morality, so now he has this current eye, and he can't live in peace if he dies.
Not only these, but also those who say it evilly. Otherwise, this man's mouth has two skins up and down, and the tongue is crushed to death. In less than half a day, rumors spread one by one, and they said it with their own eyes. As the saying goes, those who see the funeral are not afraid of the funeral, and when the rumors are spread, they are all more resistant than the storyteller in Nanshi.
When Han Daring saw it before he came, he was doing the second ritual service, and it was almost noon, and after the third session, Xu Gui was about to be buried.
He listened to his uncle's spittle, and after talking about it vividly, he said half-jokingly:
"Oops! My uncle, you are so stubborn, you don't go to the Jinsheng Tea Garden in the North Gate to tell the story, but you are really condescending! ”
His uncle said:
"You little bastard! Interrupt your uncle and have fun! ”
Han Daring smiled, looked at his aunt and cousin next to him, and said:
"My aunt and my cousin listened to what you said, they forgot to eat, you finished talking in one breath, and you didn't leave a button, but it's not good to rattle the bell to make money!"
Han Daring's cousin was still a little scared and looked a little frightened after hearing about the corpse, but after hearing Han Daring's words, she laughed with Han Daring's aunt at that time, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became very pleasant.
After laughing at it, Han Daring had some doubts in his heart, he didn't believe in anything strange and confusing like a corpse. I heard my uncle mention just now that the dead man is the old Xu family, he remembers that when he was young, occasionally the old lady would bring him to his uncle's house to play, at that time, he often played with the eldest and second of the Xu family, and he knew each other. So I proposed to my uncle to go to Lao Xu's house to have a look, and the incense on the pillar was with a molecule or something. His uncle originally said that he had given it to the elements, and besides, the family had just cheated the corpse, so he was reluctant to go. But he couldn't stand Han Dada'er pouting on the side, so he had to take him to Xu Gui's house with him.
Han Dada'er followed her uncle to the door of Xu Gui's house. They had an early lunch, not yet noon, and now it was just after eleven o'clock in the morning. The divine table had just been set up in the courtyard of Xu Gui's house, and Zhang Laodao and his apprentices were preparing for the third ceremony.
As soon as Han Daring and his uncle entered the door, there was a person dressed as a guest, and he quickly shouted "There is a guest", and then led the two to the mourning hall. Ordinary well-off families have done this, if this is a rich family, there should be two letters and horses standing at the door, one wearing a red hat and the other wearing a black hat, who are specially responsible for receiving relatives and friends who mourn, and leading people to the spirit to offer incense.
Uncle Han Daring'er stepped into the mourning hall, and to be honest, he was a little weak in his heart, after all, this courtyard was not good at night. Han Daring and his uncle stepped forward to bow and salute, and the filial son and filial wife knelt and kowtowed to return the salute. The second child of the Xu family raised his eyes and saw that it was Han Da'er and his uncle, and thought, didn't he come early yesterday morning, and the molecules were finished, why did he come again. Looking further back, I saw a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, standing behind him.
Han Da'er didn't wait for the other party to speak, and quickly opened his mouth and said:
"Brother Xu, Second Brother Xu's Day condolences!"
The eldest and second nodded in return, while looking at the big man in front of him, turning his brain hard, trying to recall, but among the people he knew, there seemed to be no such person at all.
At this time, Han Da'er and his uncle saw that the two brothers were at a loss, and hurriedly introduced:
"This is my nephew, I came here when I was a child, and you two still take him to play together!"
The eldest and second are several years older than Han Daring, but I vaguely remember that there seemed to be such a thing when I was a child. At that time, although Han Dada'er was young, he was not small, and he was not much different from these two brothers.
Han Da'er hurriedly said:
"Brother Xu, Second Brother Xu, we haven't seen each other anymore!"
The boss hurriedly said politely:
"That's right! That's right! It's been years! ”
Uncle Han Daringer said:
"Since he beat him last year, I have come to this less! Now that I'm graduating, I've found a good reason to come to my door! Just catching up with Lao Xu, hey, ......" said and sighed, made some sad feelings, and said:
"He happened to come to my door...... "He said and pointed at Han Da'er, "I heard about this, hurry up and bow down"
As he spoke, he took out a white paper bag with a few silver dollars in it and handed it to the brothers. The brothers even said that you had given the ceremony, and the uncle said that it was given by Han Dada'er, so the brothers stopped refusing it.
Han Da'er excused himself to say a few words, but his eyes swept all over the courtyard. He wanted to find a chance to see Xu Gui's corpse, but this was not a murder scene, and he couldn't come without evidence, so he could only casually ask some family routines and say a few words of comfort.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xu Gui's relatives came to revoke it, and the eldest and second were busy returning the salute. It happened that this relative and Uncle Han Da'er also knew each other, and several people happened to chat a few words in the courtyard. The divine table in the courtyard was also placed, and Zhang Laodao took his apprentices and began to exorcise evil spirits again.
Han Dada'er saw that the opportunity could not be lost and did not come again, grateful for a yellow croaker to slip away, seeing that no one was paying attention, he came to the side of the corpse, fortunately, everyone's attention was on Zhang Lao Dao's master and apprentice outside, and no one paid attention to Han Da'er.
He reached out and lifted the quilt on Xu Gui's face, and uncovered the spirit talisman attached to his forehead. He probed his snort with his hand, but he really lost his breath, and when he felt his pulse again, he stopped. He looked at Xu Gui's face again, and saw that the corpse was pale, his face was distorted, his eyebrows were raised, and his brows were furrowed.
He was about to quickly cover the quilt, but he saw that there seemed to be saliva at the corner of the corpse's mouth, so he reached out and dipped it a little, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and he was shocked!
