Chapter 10: A Cat Jumps Over a Dead Man and Tricks the Dead (Part II)

Inside and outside Mrs. Xue's house, there were so many people that there was no place to stay, and the band playing suona in the yard was invited by Mrs. Xue's eldest son. The kind of funeral song in which the folk duo in the port turns the tune can't be stopped, one after another, blowing by different people, and blowing by changing tunes. Like "Crying Seven Passes", "Eight Dragons", etc., the most popular "Big Funeral" in the port is indispensable. In the heartbreaking suona sound of "The Great Funeral", a male duo actor wore a white filial piety dress and a white belt on his head, as if his relatives had passed away, and sang with snot and tears: "Love, hate, sorrow and sorrow of several generations." The long road of life, everywhere is concerned, you also go, he also walks, bends over, and his head is white. How much love and hate is in vain. Love, hatred, sorrows and sorrows of several generations. Youth is not always there, how long can life be? You endure, he endures, the heart is crying, tears are flowing! ”

In the poignant and agitated suona sound, the singing of "The Great Funeral" spread far and wide, and anyone who listened to it would shed tears. and the tune of the suona, the two-person actors here are still singing the sad "Big Funeral", and the old ladies cooking over there are busy in a hurry. There are many people eating, most of them holding a large bowl in their hands, and they are waiting in line in an orderly manner. After the person in charge of the rice gave a large spoonful of sorghum rice to a person's empty bowl, the person who held the rice bowl walked to the big iron pot that was still gurgling and gurgling, and the person in charge of the vegetables would scoop a large spoonful of potato stewed cabbage and put it on the sorghum rice. If you're lucky, you'll have a large slice of fat in the potato stew and cabbage. After finishing the meal, the person squatted directly in the open space of the yard to make it. Sorghum rice and potato stewed cabbage are absolutely filling, and then serve after eating.

Just when people were busy with their work, eating sorghum rice and eating sorghum rice, no one paid attention, and Xue Er's stunned "treading snow and looking for plums", that is, the black cat didn't know when to sneak into the hall where Mrs. Xue was dead. This kind of thing shouldn't have happened! If there is a "red and white" thing in the common people of the port, there are many people who come to be busy, and one of them is in charge. If you give anyone a "white thing", it is called "Mr. Yin and Yang". In the tunzi on the side of the Butou street, Mr. Yin Yang has all the tunzi. They rely exclusively on presiding over white things to eat. Every day, the gods talk about it, as if there is a lot of culture. In fact, Mr. Yin Yang is also more or less cultured in Tunzi, so he is very respected. What's the hell or something, anyway, the folks don't understand, what Mr. Yin and Yang says is what. The reason why the villagers invited Mr. Yin Yang to come is also to seek psychological comfort and psychological balance. Because there are too many rules after death, ordinary people don't know what to do.

When Mr. Yin Yang came to the mourner's house, a very important thing was to instruct the mourners and the people who came to help watch the point, and be sure to pay attention to the place where the spirit was stopped and not allowed to enter the cats and dogs and other animals, so as to prevent the dead from borrowing their breath to return their souls. In the past, I have heard of dead people coming back to life after a long time of morgue, and the common people call it "fraudulent corpse". To be honest, it's not a "fraudulent corpse", it's that the person is not dead, and he is relieved, and it has nothing to do with whether there are cats and dogs in front of him. However, in the people, this kind of thing has been passed down mysteriously by people, and it is indeed true. Inevitably, there are legends that people who are dying cannot see cats, dogs, and so on. Not to mention cats and dogs, rats can't be seen.

There is also a theoretical basis for this legend, that is, the saying that "the beast cuts off the air". It is said that people live for a breath, and when the anger is gone, the life is gone. This "qi" can't be seen or touched, but a living person of one hundred and eighty catties is supported by this "qi" in the body, and when the person is about to die, the "qi" runs away. In case it happens that cats and dogs pass by and intercept this breath, then you can become a sperm, and you can eat people and lose.

It's time for something to happen! Mrs. Xue's distant nephew came to the funeral, and was giving Mrs. Xue three kowtows, and Mrs. Xue's eldest son was also returning the salute. Suddenly, the "treading snow and looking for plums" raised by Xue Er didn't know where it came from, and he didn't know why he was angry for no reason, so he jumped on the corpse of Mrs. Xue with a snort, roaring angrily, and didn't know what it was tumbling and biting, so that Mrs. Xue's corpse was covered with cat hair.

At this moment, the entire mourning hall of Old Lady Xue was chaotic, and the screams and curses rang out.

"You shriveled calf, dare to harm my mother!" Mrs. Xue's eldest son was afraid that Xue Er's family's "treading snow and looking for plum blossoms" would harm the old lady's corpse, so he jumped up violently despite the fact that his legs were already sore, and pounced on "treading snow to find plum blossoms".

Mrs. Xue's distant nephew couldn't care about kowtowing anymore, so he jumped up to help his brother expel "Treading the snow and looking for plums".

That's when something terrifying happened. Old Lady Xue sat up on the spiritual bed suddenly, and the white cloth covering her face immediately slipped to the side. Mrs. Xue's eldest son and distant nephew were stunned at that time, and they were stunned there.

"Deceived corpses! Mrs. Xue has cheated the corpse, run! Suddenly, I don't know who screamed in horror. Suddenly, there was a great chaos in the hall and courtyard where Old Lady Xue had stopped. People screamed and ran around, looking for their sons, and they were afraid to hide.

"Dad, my grandma cheated on the corpse, what are you buying!" Mrs. Xue's eldest grandson was very bold, he didn't take care of himself and fled first, the first thing he thought of was that his father was still in danger. dragged his father, who was frightened, and turned around and fled.

"Oh maa...... I'm a zombie! My aunt is a cannibal! Old Lady Xue's distant nephew also seemed to understand at this time, and after a trembling exclamation, he turned around and ran. Unexpectedly, the two legs were really not angry, and they threw a dog at the door of the hall and ate. Old Lady Xue's distant nephew exclaimed, "Don't eat me, I'm your nephew!" ”

In the blink of an eye, inside and outside Mrs. Xue's house, there was no one running away, and even the neighbors were gone!

Xue Er's stunned black cat "Treading Snow and Looking for Plums" jumped over Mrs. Xue's corpse, and the news of Mrs. Xue's deception of the corpse was like thunder, which immediately caused a sensation. The common people talked a lot and said everything. There are even old ladies with dry tobacco pouches more than two feet long in their mouths, and mysteriously say that Mrs. Xue's distant nephew has seen and heard with his own eyes, after Mrs. Xue deceived the corpse, half of her face was folded, no different from the original, and the other half of her face was smooth and slippery like a little girl. But just to take a breath, this half of Mrs. Xue's face became exactly the same face as the black cat of Xue Er's stunned family, which was a thief and scary.

The old lady saw that several old ladies of all sizes were stupid when they heard their mouths half open, so she knocked the cigarette pouch and pot on the edge of the kang and glanced at the door, as if she was afraid that Old Lady Xue would suddenly break in. said: "Old Mrs. Xue said to her distant nephew, 'I said dog leftovers, your aunt is hungry. You're a little bit of a girl, and you're going to give it to an eight- or nine-year-old child! ’”

Several old ladies of all sizes were terrified when they heard this, and an old lady in her fifties turned pale with fright, and said tremblingly: "Oh, my own mother...... My little Zhuzi is just eight years old this year. I have to hurry home and burn the pillar incense, and beg the 'cat-faced fairy girl' Mrs. Xue not to come to harm my little Zhuzi! ”

The fact that Mrs. Xue became a "cat-faced fairy girl" is also too terrifying! Not only the people of Xuejiatun were so frightened that they closed the door tightly, and watched the children in the family, don't let the "cat-faced fairy" eat it. Even all the tunzi within a radius of more than ten miles around Xuejiatun were infected. For a moment, people were panicked. There are also people with good things to ask "Xue Banxian", whether it is true or false that Mrs. Xue has become a "cat-faced fairy girl". Xue Banxian sighed and said, "Alas...... This is a heavenly opportunity, and it cannot be leaked! If you leak the heavens, you will be damned! ”

Mrs. Xue's eldest son was not angry with Xue Er's stunned family's black cat "treading snow to find plums" turned his old lady into a monster, and gathered a group of relatives to run to Xue Er's stunned house with shovels and pickaxes to ask for guilt. Xue Er's face was full of innocence, and he said that Mrs. Xue's eldest son was wrong? His family's "treading snow and looking for plums" is old, why are you always lazy, it is difficult to walk, and you usually don't even go to the yard, where does you have the strength to run to the corpse of Mrs. Xue to be a demon?

Xue Er was stunned and saw that everyone didn't believe it, so he even called "Huzi". His black cat "treading the snow to find plums" immediately lazily came out from under the kang cabinet. "Treading the snow to find plums" and "meow" screamed, and then snored and rubbed Xue Er's stunned hand with his head.

Everyone was startled when they suddenly saw Xue Er's black cat "stepping on the snow to find plums". Most of these people have heard that black cats are hoodoos. Especially the old black cat, the cat's tail is forked, which can be psychic and bring disaster to the owner. Some old black cats are more evil, and after being able to channel, they will grow a cat tail every year until they grow nine cat tails. At this time, the black cat became a spirit beast, called the "nine-tailed spirit fox". In other words, the "nine-tailed spirit fox" is not a psychic fox, but an old black cat that is over 100 years old.

Mrs. Xue's eldest son was furious, but he didn't dare to provoke Xue Er's stunned black cat to "tread the snow to find plums". There was nowhere to vent the anger in his stomach, so he gave Xue Er a big-eared thunderbolt with his backhand. "Treading the snow and looking for plum blossoms" was originally very gentle with the master Xue Er was stunned, and suddenly saw the master being beaten, which immediately stimulated the nature of "treading the snow and looking for plum blossoms" to protect the owner. The hundred-year-old "Treading Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms" action is still agile, and with a "woo" tiger roar, he pounced directly on the face of Mrs. Xue's son. Old Lady Xue's eldest son couldn't dodge, and after screaming, there were a few more bloody claw marks on his face.

Xue Er's black cat "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plums" has disappeared since then, and no one knows where the civet cat has gone, but it has left people with endless imagination. Just after Mr. Wang's murdered feet, Mrs. Xue's eldest son died in the Wanggang Commune Health Center. The cause of death given by the Wanggang Commune Health Center was "rabies".

Zhan Zhizhan was listening attentively to the chatter of the two workers, from the story of Teacher Wang's killing to "stepping on the snow to find plums" and jumping onto the corpse of Mrs. Xue, and the story of Mrs. Xue becoming a "cat-faced fairy" after defrauding the corpse. Suddenly, Zhan Zhizhan heard "Engaged" and shouted: "I said Lao Zhan, the noodles have been loaded into the car, why are you still committing rabbits there?" What if you don't want to go! ”

"Uh-huh! Here it comes! Zhan Zhizhan scratched his head embarrassedly, and reluctantly turned around and ran outside the workshop.
