Chapter 9: Descending the coffin

"You're so noble. Zheng Kangkang said with a sigh.

I said helplessly: "It's not noble, if someone is really killed by zombies, once this thing gets out, it can cause a sensation in the society, just like the Chengdu zombie incident in 95." ”

Zheng Kangkang sighed and asked in surprise: "Is it true to say that the 95 Chengdu zombie incident?"

I shook my head and said, "I didn't say that. ”

"But even if tonight passes, their broken mouth will definitely talk about it. Zheng Kangkang said worriedly.

I smiled: "As long as there are no media reports before this, and then I love to talk about it, no one believes it, and if I don't do it, I will be arrested for spreading rumors." ”

Zheng Kangkang smiled and said, "That's what I said." ”

I looked at the coffin that had been carried to the courtyard, thought for a moment and said, "Kangkang, I need you to take them to help me prepare something, you use your mobile phone to write it down." ”

"Do you want them to go together?" Zheng Kangkang asked suspiciously.

"One hundred catties of glutinous rice, two bags of quicklime, a bucket of black dog blood, at least ten liters, remember to add anticoagulants, a bundle of ten-meter-long ropes, soak them in vegetable oil for an hour, cinnabar is not enough at home, you can get another five hundred grams of cinnabar, and a strong fishing net." ”

Zheng Kangkang nodded, and I continued: "It's more than one o'clock now, send it to my house before five o'clock in the afternoon, you go and tell them first, I have to go back and prepare other things." ”

After I finished speaking, I walked out of the courtyard of the Du family and ran towards the house.

When I got home, I immediately walked into the utility room and took out a dusty wooden box from it, and the box was full of grandpa's things, which he said were magic weapons, but I didn't see him use them.

I wiped the dust off it with a damp rag, then opened the box and took a few things out of it.

A three-foot-long peachwood sword, an ink fountain, and two three-finger-wide sigils, looked at the runes below, put one of them back, and then rummaged inside for a while, and found a whip in the corner of the wooden box.

I don't know what this whip is for, and I've never heard my grandfather mention it.

Now the situation is a bit serious, I took out my phone and dialed my grandfather's number, but it was turned off.

I didn't think much about it, look at the black whip of the whip, about ten centimeters long, the whip body is more than a meter long, I don't know what kind of leather it is woven from, all of it is painted yellow, and there are some runes painted on it that are somewhat similar to the corpse pattern, which should be useful.

Although Grandpa hasn't used these things for a long time, they are all smooth, and Grandpa should have used them a lot before.

Unfortunately, there are no sigils in this box, and I used to think that the sigils and spells were just cultural inheritances, but now that I think about it, they must be useful.

But fortunately, I can draw the corpse talisman, although I don't know if my drawing is useful, but now it's a duck on the shelf, and I definitely have to try it.

Take these things to grandpa's study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are ready-made, but this painting charm can't use ordinary ink, you have to add cinnabar and cockscomb blood to the ink.

There are still cinnabar at home, and there is no ready-made rooster blood, but there are roosters at home, and at this time, people's lives are at stake, and I can't manage so much.

I picked up a kitchen knife, walked into the chicken pen, grabbed a rooster directly, and then ran to the study and killed the chicken, not only did I get about ten drops of chicken comb blood, but also took a bowl of chicken blood.

I poured the chicken blood into a bottle, then stirred the ink, cut off a few yellow rune papers, and began to draw the corpse talisman.

I can draw the corpse talisman, but I am not proficient, the talisman foot is always not good at drawing, and I practiced with ordinary ink for more than half an hour before I drew a qualified corpse talisman.

It's not certain that this thing won't work, if it works, one is enough, and if it doesn't, a hundred is useless.

Stamp a talisman on the talisman, and then put it on the altar at home, light three incense sticks and start offering.

After doing this, I called my grandfather again, and it was still turned off, this old man always forgot to charge his phone, I was used to it.

It was almost three o'clock, so I put everything in a bag, and in any case, carry the coffin to the grave first.

When they came to Du's house, everyone was ready to go, the master was presiding, and several big men carrying the coffin had already begun to tie ropes to the coffin.

I walked to the coffin and walked around the coffin twice, but there was no movement.

"Brothers, when carrying the coffin, be light, don't knock on the coffin. I reminded.

Everyone nodded and said, "Don't worry, I raised my hand." ”

I looked at my watch: "Depart in ten minutes." ”

After speaking, I walked into the mourning hall, Du Yi and those classmates were still sitting in that room, and Qian Liexian said, "That...... I'll ask someone to buy what you want, and I'll have it delivered to your house before six o'clock. ”

I nodded: "It's time to go." ”

"We ...... Do you have to go?" asked Yuan Liangmao in a low voice.

"Why are you here? aren't you here for the funeral?" I said, a little speechless.

Du Yi stood up and said, "Students, don't be afraid, there are so many people." ”

I looked at Du Yi and walked out directly, in fact, Du Yi's feelings for her mother were not particularly good, because before her mother died, their mother and daughter often quarreled.

Walking to the mourning hall, the funeral procession outside had already gathered at the door, the Western Band also carried musical instruments, and eight coffin bearers also stood in front of the coffin.

I climbed onto a table of eight immortals and shouted, "Fellow villagers, chickens and dogs are not allowed to go, women who are menstruating are not allowed to go, and children under the age of five are not allowed to go. ”

With that, I jumped off the table, Master looked at me, I nodded, and motioned for me to go.

"Lift the coffin, light the cannon ......," Master sang loudly.

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, the master walked in the front, the relatives and mother's family walked in the front, and the back were the villagers who came to see them off, holding wreaths and paper figures in their hands and carrying the spirit house, the team was full of nearly 100 people, and there were seven or eight people who set off the cannons.

In order to make a good impression of the corpse in the coffin, those classmates cried like mourners, one louder than the other, and even the three mourners couldn't cry them.

The cave that Grandpa gave was at the foot of Bai'er Mountain in the east of the village, next to the field of Du Jiafen, and the grave had already been dug a long time ago, but according to custom, people who committed suicide could not fill the soil on the spot after the coffin was put into the pit, and they could not fill the soil until the first seven days.

The journey was smooth, and when we arrived at the cemetery, the sun had not yet set, because the rice had just been harvested, and the fields were dry and the place was big enough.

The inside of the grave was covered with hydrated lime, and some of the deceased's clothes were placed, and I checked it carefully, and the bottom of the pit was flat, there was no standing water, and there was no problem.

"Within three generations, the immediate family turned around. I shouted loudly, and then carefully commanded the coffin.

"Be careful and take your time. I said a little nervously, and the eight people who carried the coffin became very careful under my beckoning.

I also vigilantly walked around the edge of the pit, generally speaking, there will definitely be an accident when the coffin of the corpse is changed, but I don't know where the accident will happen.

The coffins are all solid wood, very heavy, plus the corpse is six or seven hundred catties, and there are only four fulcrums, once one of them goes wrong, the coffin will tilt, and the coffin lid will slip off.

I was really afraid of something, and a person next to me suddenly slipped under his feet, and with a loud scream, the coffin tilted violently.

I hurriedly grabbed the flat pole on the man's shoulder and put it on my shoulder, the coffin made a 'boom' sound, and the coffin lid was about to slide out, so I quickly shouted, "Master, quickly, stabilize the coffin lid." ”

The master couldn't help but block the lid of the coffin, so that the lid of the coffin did not continue to slide off.

The other man and I lifted the horn hard, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't rush, don't rush, take your time." ”

"This coffin is getting heavier and heavier. One of them spoke.

"Normal, don't let go. I hurriedly said, "Slowly, slowly." ”

I also felt that the coffin was getting heavier and heavier, but I knew that it was a corpse fall, and that the corpse would exert itself when it came out of the coffin.

After more than ten minutes of tossing, the coffin was finally placed smoothly in the grave, and the people who carried the coffin fell directly to the ground tired, and I squatted next to me panting heavily.

looked at the sun that was about to set and said: "Okay, let's go back first, don't look back, the big brothers who carry the coffin go around to the west, don't go back the same way, Du Yi and his classmates stay and burn the spirit house with me." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a 'bang' sound from the coffin, which jumped the people around me, and the master hurriedly asked, "What sound?"

I looked at the coffin that had been completely covered, and quickly said, "It's just not stable, it's okay, it's okay, you can go back to eat." ”

As I spoke, I stood up, took a couple of wreaths from the side, and placed them on top of the coffin.

Several old people in the village shook their heads, and they all talked about me saying that I was too young to do this work, and that the coffin almost collapsed just now, or that my grandfather was reliable, and that I must be responsible for what went wrong.

......
