Chapter 640: Mourning Hall Invites the Corpse
To see if a young man is a filial person, it depends on whether he will shed tears when he faces the death of his loved ones.
His lack of tears is not necessarily unfilial, but his tears must be filial.
Because the big and small guys can't act.
This Shen Simian didn't wait for the mourning hall, his eyes were already red.
After coming to the mourning hall, he was already crying silently, standing next to the coffin, looking at his deceased grandfather, without saying a word, silently crying, in addition to sadness, there was distress in his eyes.
Zhang Rong and I can see that this may really be the only filial one in the family.
Shen Lao Wu and his daughter-in-law hurriedly went over to comfort Shen Simian, and then did ideological work with Shen Simian.
This ideological work also took more than half an hour, after all, he couldn't accept it for a while when he told a highly educated student that a dead person was a dead man.
But Shen Simian finally accepted it, he didn't care if it was true or not, he only knew that his grandfather was not at ease.
Now that the personnel are here, the next step is to get down to business.
Before doing the business, Zhang Rong had already asked the Shen family to build a shed outside the mourning hall and fence it off so as not to be seen by nearby residents and then scare them.
Originally, we could have directly pulled down the rolling shutter door of the mourning hall, but what we had to do later, after all, there was a certain risk, and the space of the mourning hall was limited, once the old man broke out and hurt people, there would be casualties tonight.
"What should be said and what should be told, I have already explained it to you before."
Zhang Rong instructed everyone again: "No matter what I say later, don't question, don't hesitate, just do it, if anyone disobeys the yin, then we will just earn less money, but you will lose your life." ”
Shen Jun nodded hurriedly: "Understood, understood, don't worry, we are absolutely obedient." ”
Zhang Rong came to the coffin, asked the others to spread a mat on the ground, and then asked Shen Jun to carry the body out with him.
This Shen Jun was obedient just now, but his face suddenly changed at this time, and he didn't dare to carry the body, so he hurriedly looked at the others: "That, the second ......"
Zhang Rong glanced at him, and didn't speak with a cold face.
Shen Jun had nothing to say, so he could only come over obediently.
Then Zhang Rong lit six sticks of incense and divided three sticks to Shen Jun.
Then two people surrounded the four sides of the coffin and bowed three times each. After bowing, Zhang Rong lifted his upper body, Shen Jun raised his two legs, and carried the body out of the coffin with a hard breath and laid it flat on the mat.
Then, I started to light candles, one at each of the four corners of the mourning hall, and then turned off the lights in the mourning hall after lighting the candles.
The entire mourning hall suddenly fell into darkness, and only the flickering candle flame allowed everyone to see.
Such a scene naturally frightened everyone's hearts, especially the female dependents present, all shrunk in the corner, looking at the body on the mat with four points of confusion and five points of anxiety, and a point of curiosity.
Zhang Rong walked up to the body and lifted the white cloth on the body's face, revealing the pale and wrinkled face.
Seeing the old man's skinny and lifeless face, Shen Simian kept crying.
He was the only one in his family who didn't show fear.
Zhang Rong scattered a handful of dark paper, then took out a red rope and tied it to the middle finger of the old man's hand, and then tied the other end of the red rope to Shen Simian's middle finger.
This red rope did not last long, firstly, in order to let Shen Simian restrain the old man and let the old man know that this most filial grandson was persuading him.
The second is that if the old man can be moved by Shen Simian's family affection, he will not break free from this red rope and attack others, if the old man is not moved, he will break free from the red rope.
"The deceased Shen Gongquan was seventy-five years old, and he died at seventy-five."
After reading, Zhang Rong struck the gong and continued to read: "Now that the filial son and grandson are present, there is a bright light to guide the way, please ask the deceased Shen Gongquan to return home." ”
After reading, he struck the gong again.
"Filial sons and grandsons kneel."
A password was shouted, and everyone in the Shen family knelt down collectively facing the body, including Shen Simian.
"Filial sons and grandsons kowtow."
Then, everyone collectively kowtowed three times.
According to the previous instructions, at this time, filial sons and grandsons should cry out, and the louder and more sincere they cry, the better.
At this time, there was indeed a cry in the mourning hall, but all the female dependents were crying, and the five white-eyed wolves were stunned and didn't hold back a single tear.
"Respectfully invite the dead home!"
Zhang Rong finished reading the sentence again, and then struck the gong several times in a row.
Next, except for Shen Simian, everyone couldn't raise their heads, because if the body would get up later, the living couldn't look at it, including us.
After striking the gong, Zhang Rong put it aside and walked next to me.
The two of us also sat cross-legged with our backs to the body, waiting for the body to swindle the body.
Once the body is deceived again, the others have to keep quiet, and only Zhang Rong and Shen Simian can speak.
After waiting for no more than ten minutes, a shadow suddenly appeared on the wall of the mourning hall.
The shadow was only half of its body, and after a while, the shadow gradually began to elongate, accompanied by the sound of bones and joints rubbing.
Due to the necrosis of the bursa in the joints of the body, the deceased will no longer secrete synovial fluid, and the joints will make sounds when they move again.
Obviously, it was the old man who stood up.
Everyone in the mourning hall heard this voice, so they quickly closed their mouths and stopped making any more noise.
The walls of the mourning hall were full of trembling shadows, but in order to calm the old man's resentment, they could only hold back the fear in their hearts.
"Grandpa......"
I only heard Shen Simian shouting, and his voice was trembling.
Seeing such a strange scene, he was also scared.
"Grandpa, I'm Simian...... I am your grandson. ”
Shen Si barely endured his fear, and told the old man with tears that he was sad in his heart: "Grandpa...... I don't want you to die, you said that when I was admitted to university, you would give me a big red envelope, I have been working hard for this red envelope, I want you to be happy for me, I didn't expect you to go so fast......"
Then, Shen Simian said a lot of things from the past, and was ready to impress the old man with family affection.
"Grandpa, can you please stop hurting everyone...... We are all a family, a family related by blood, why did it happen like this...... What the hell is there that you can't figure out, you tell me, okay, grandpa? ”.
After Shen Simian finished saying all his words, the mourning hall suddenly became quiet.
Soon, we heard another voice, this voice seemed to be a person desperately trying to speak after losing his voice, it was the old man talking to Shen Simian.
But he couldn't speak, what he wanted to express could only be understood by Shen Simian.
After nearly half a minute, Shen Simian suddenly gasped, and his voice trembled violently: "Master Zhang...... My grandfather said he was ...... They were ...... by the uncle And my dad, the ...... who was killed by sorcery."
