Chapter Twenty-Six: Thinking Day and Night
Where is my body?
Xuan Ling's heart was also full of questions, she didn't even know how she died, how would she know where the body was?
"Ah, I don't know, I don't know where my body is?!" Xuan Ling anxiously played with her fingers, a question she had never thought about.
"You don't know, where is your body? How can you borrow your body? How can you return your soul? If your body is not buried, it's fine, if your body has been cremated or buried in the ground, then you don't want to be reborn in this life!"
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
There is a small village in Beiju Luzhou, this village is called Tsuguchi Village, which is the hometown of Genling.
A crescent moon hung high in the air, staining the entire village with a cold white.
The night was deep, and even the dogs in the village fell asleep, but there was a small courtyard with a faint light.
The two white lanterns hanging high in the gate were gently swayed by the cold wind.
Walking inside from the gate, there are five horse frame houses. Facing the main room is the main room, which has two bedrooms to the left and a kitchen and a bedroom to the right.
In the center of the main room, there is a coffin with an unsealed lid, and a permanent lamp is placed at the end of the coffin. On the side of the coffin sat a woman, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were dark circles, which were the marks left by staying up late for many days.
Yun Niang hunched over, motionless, staring blankly at the coffin with her eyes.
She was dressed in thin clothes, but she didn't even feel the slightest chill.
Behind her, there was a small table with a bowl of egg noodles with tomatoes. The noodles were already cold, but the chopsticks were still resting on the bowl, and the noodles were untouched.
There was a bench next to the small table, and on the bench was a thick coat.
The whole room was lifeless, and death and silence weighed down the whole room, and it was impossible to breathe.
Da came from the yard with the sound of familiar footsteps.
The little fish is back?
Yun Niang's heart was excited, and her eyes were full of vitality. She hurriedly got up and rushed outside to take a look.
Strike!
Xuanling ran back to the house from the yard and threw herself into her arms.
"Xiaoyu, where have you been again?" Yun Niang scolded her while patting the dust on her body, "Look at you, you know all day long that you went to the mountains and went to the wilderness, and your clothes were torn again." Take it off, and I'll make it up for you. ”
Xuan Ling stuck to her mother's arms and said coquettishly: "Mother, I'm hungry." ”
"Okay, you wait, my mother will cook noodles for you. ”
Yun Niang cooked the noodles and brought the bowl of hot tomato and egg noodles to the small table. Xuan Ling not only didn't eat, but turned around and ran out.
Yun Niang also hurriedly chased after her, "Xiaoyu, come back quickly." Where are you going?"
Smack!
Yun Niang's foot tripped over the threshold, and the whole person was thrown to the ground at once.
Yun Niang suddenly woke up from her dream, and she looked around blankly.
The coffin was quietly placed in front of him, the ever-bright lamp was flickering and on, and the bowl of noodles on the small table was already cold.
"I miss the fish so much!"
This is what is called, thinking about it day and dreaming at night.
Suddenly, she felt warm on her body, and when she touched it back, the thick coat on the bench was unexpectedly draped over her body.
Yun Niang's whole body trembled slightly, her lips opened slightly, and her eyes blinked.
"Xiaoyu has really come back!"
Yun Niang's shoulders shrugged, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she wailed.
The sun rose as usual, but the waves rose again in the small courtyard of the Fang family.
The young priest Shi Fengse, who led dozens of village names, broke into the courtyard in a rage.
"What about Yun Niang, call her out!" Shi Fengse put his hands behind his back, and the nine-link jade pendant hanging on his chest shook slightly.
"Lord Priest, don't be angry, I'll go to the bedroom and call her. Shi Fengse is not only the village chief of Jinkou Village, but also the priest of Jinkou Village, from the sacrifice to heaven and earth, down to farming, almost all of them have the final say.
"What about people?" Shi Fengse couldn't help but ask loudly when he saw him walking back alone.
"This ...... This...... I don't know. ”
Shi Fengse glanced at the closed door of the main house, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Shi Fengse walked to the door, raised his leg and kicked it, and the door was kicked open, and the door panel hit the wall with a bang.
"What about them!?" Shi Fengse walked into the main room with a slightly red face, and he asked through gritted teeth while looking around.
The corpse of Xuanling in the coffin in the main room disappeared overnight, and it disappeared.
"Say, where did you hide them?"
"Lord Sacrifice, if you lend me ten guts, I don't dare to do this. Fang Tu painstakingly explained that he was Yun Niang's father, he was now in his seventies, short in stature, still sturdy, and lived by farming all year round. "The fish god is above, I didn't say a word of lie. ”
"Shut up!" Shi Fengse grabbed him by the collar and carried him outside the house like a chicken. "It's delayed, the fish god sacrifices and I want you to look good!"
The ancestors of the Hezhe people lived by fishing and hunting, and they believed in the fish god for generations. They believed that it was the fish god who raised them, and that after death, the soul could only rest if the body was sacrificed to the fish god.
Today is the seventh day after Xuanling's death, and it is the deadline for the deceased to sacrifice to the fish god.
Shi Fengse had visited Fang's house many times before to discuss sacrificial matters. Yesterday, Yun Niang, obviously promised not to block it again, but today is good, the body and people are gone.
The more Shi Fengse thought about it, the more angry he became, there were people in the whole village who dared to disobey his orders like this.
As soon as Shi Fengse's hand was released, there was a crisp sound, and Fang Tu was thrown heavily on the ground. He didn't dare to resist and didn't have the ability to resist, so he could only watch these villagers break into his home, turning around like robbers.
"Lord Priest, I searched everywhere, but I didn't find their mother and daughter. The villagers who searched inside and outside the house replied after a while.
Shi Fengse looked at Fang Tu angrily, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he raised his foot and wanted to kick at him.
Suddenly, the two lanterns in front of Fang's house were crumbling by the wind.
There are masters out there!
Shi Fengse was taken aback and didn't dare to make a rash move. "Friends outside, can you please come out for a while?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman turned into the door.
She looked like twenty-five or sixteen, with a slender figure, she had short hair that was finely shredded, and her eyes were as bright as a tiger and a leopard.
She was dressed in a blue shirt, with black and white plum blossom boots on her feet, and held a silver spear with iron guts.
"Is that you?" Shi Fengse disdained, raised his foot and stepped towards Fang Tu again.
said that it was too late, and when it was too late, Shi Fengse's eyes flashed with a beautiful eye, and he quickly rushed to his side. Before he could react, the other party had already shot like a dragon, and the head of the silver spear had already pressed against his shoulder.
As soon as he was lucky, he just wanted to resist, but Gu Yue exerted force on his waist, and the silver spear was pushed and his body floated backwards.
While!
With a loud bang, Shi Fengse's body was pushed and slammed into the outer wall of the main house.
"Don't move!" Gu Yue's silver spear was horizontal, and a trace of red blood flowed from Shi Fengse's neck, "If I accidentally slip my hand, it won't be good." ”
