Mr. Song said that this is cinnabar water. Cinnabar is made from red cinnabar. It is said that one or two cinnabar can be obtained from ten pounds of cinnabar. It is the best material for professional Taoist priests to draw talismans.
I reached into the basin and washed my hands twice. I asked for a cloth to wipe them with, but he didn't let me wipe my hands. Instead, he asked me to pat the coffin hard with wet hands.
It takes six shots in total, try to use as much strength as possible.
I did as I was told and slapped the coffin lid hard six times with my hand.
"Bang bang bang!"
Because the hands were wet, a few more wet fingerprints were clearly visible on the coffin afterwards. Mr. Song said this was "the younger generation calling the coffin".
"Junior brother, are you ready? I'm going to start."
The man took the candle over, held it up and said, "Open it."
In Guizhou, Fujian, many places have shallow burials and no coffin nails. I saw Mr. Song quickly running to the end of the coffin. He pushed the coffin lid with both hands, gritted his teeth, and began to push forward with all his strength.
Squeaky...
The sound of wood rubbing against wood sounded particularly harsh at night.
The coffin lid was slowly pushed open from one end, and his junior brother held up a candle with both hands to shine inside...
I saw....
Why did Li Nai become like this?
Swollen...
Her eyes were swollen, her face was swollen, her belly was swollen, her hands were swollen, everything was swollen, as if someone was using a pump to pump her up.
I saw Li Nai lying on the pillow with her hands folded in front of her belly. She was wearing several layers of blue cloth shrouds with flowers, and her collar was directly touching her chin.
Nai Li's entire face was black, her eyes were closed, her mouth was slightly open, and there was some yellow pus at the corner of her mouth.
It smells bad.
I am a filial son, and I was given a good coffin made by Liuzhou craftsmen. The seal was very good even without coffin nails. The coffin was just fine when it was covered, but now when I opened it, the smell was very strong, and it went straight into my nose.
I even wondered if there were maggots living under Li Nai’s shroud. It was summer after all.
"Junior brother, look at Li Nai's hands."
"Well, I saw it as soon as I opened it."
"What happened to the hand?"
I endured the stench and looked down, and saw that all five fingers of Grandma Li's hand were separated.
Mr. Song took out a sewing needle from his pocket and pricked a hole in Nanny Li's mouth. Immediately, water started flowing out from the little hole.
"Young man, turn around and don't look."
I turned around and heard a squeaking sound behind me. Suddenly! I felt my back sink, and I almost fell to the ground. I quickly held it with my hands.
Mr. Song was carrying his little cloth bag and said: "Carry it carefully, don't fall down on the road. Let's go to Tulingou now. I'm ready there to burn Nai Li."
It smelled so bad. Grandma Li put her hands on my chest and put her head against the back of my neck, which was cold and cold.
I turned my head and looked at the old man's black and swollen face.
"vomit!"
He retched and almost vomited.
Tulingou is at least seven miles away from here, and the road is not easy to walk at night. I also carry Nai Li, who is heavy on my back, so I can't walk fast at all.
As soon as I walked out of the village, I was exhausted and sweating profusely.
I shook my head and gasped, "I can't do it anymore. Not only am I tired, but the most important thing is that it stinks so much that it makes me dizzy."
Mr. Song took out the piece of paper from his pocket, opened it and poured out all the ants, then tore it open and rolled it into two cylinders, then stuffed it directly into my nose, blocking my nose.
He looked up at the moon in the sky and asked me: "How is it? It doesn't stink now, does it?"
With two pieces of paper stuffed in my nose, I rolled my eyes and said thank you.
"You're welcome."
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
At this time, his junior brother sniffed hard, frowned and said, "Why is there such a strong smell of cigarette smoke?"
