In this way, we stayed in the village for five days. On the evening of the fifth day, Wang Quansheng's son was also buried.
This is a custom in the village. If someone's family dies, the coffin must be carried out at twelve o'clock in the morning on the fifth day.
I have traveled extensively over the years and have seen many funeral customs, so I have nothing to say about their customs.
However, most places will allow the deceased to stay at home for seven days. After all, on the seventh day, the deceased will return to his home to see his relatives for the last time. This is not only a legend left by the older generation, but also a real reality.
However, there are many places that do not keep people at home for seven days. For example, in some places in Guangxi, after a person dies, they will immediately carry them to the mountain for burial, and then come back for the funeral after the burial!
Some Miao people in the Guizhou area will keep deceased elderly people at home for half a month before carrying them to the mountains for burial.
How should I put it? China is a multi-ethnic country. Each ethnic group has its own specific burial customs. We must respect the customs of each place.
I followed their instructions for everything else, except for this Feng Shui, I had to choose.
Wang Quansheng's family was in trouble for sixty years. He didn't even have a place to live after his death. These descendants have been deeply affected.
If his son is not buried in a good tomb, the future generations of their family may be worried.
So I found a tomb for their family to have many children and good fortune, so as to ensure the prosperity of future generations.
After everything was done, the village returned to its previous calm.
We still stay in the village and live at Xu Wuyang’s house!
Their family respects me very much, even if they have stayed with me for five days. Because we are here, Xu Wuyang has not left the car these days and has been with us all day long.
"Mr. Li, it's already the fifth day and there hasn't been any movement. Can we really just wait here?"
It has been five days since the formation was broken, and there is no sign of the Earth Spirit Fruit appearing. Now I have become hopeless!
So I said to Fatty Wu: "Wait for two more days! If they don't show up in two days, then we will take the initiative to look for them."
Logically speaking, the Earth Spirit Fruit is a species that remembers gratitude. We helped Wang Quan give birth to a family, which can be regarded as indirectly helping the Earth Spirit Fruit. The Earth Spirit Fruit should come to thank us.
But today, no one has come to see us, which is really a surprise.
The reason why I think the earth spirit fruit remembers the favor is the judgment I got when I went out to find Huang Yiyi that day.
That day Huang Yiyi went to look for Wang Quansheng and lost her way. A little girl took me to find her.
And that little girl is very similar to the little girl that Wang Quansheng told them about taking them down the mountain. If my guess is correct, she should be transformed from the Earth Spirit Fruit.
Since she has guided me to do this, and now she has done it thoroughly, she shouldn't have stopped coming out to say hello to me.
Just when I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard a woman's voice cursing.
It's Xu Wuyang's wife who is back. Her wife seems to have gone to pick up the child!
Soon, Xu Wuyang's wife and his son came home one after another. His wife held a whip in her hand, while his son wiped his tears as he walked.
His son is eight or nine years old. He is very thin and has dark skin. He looks like a typical village kid.
Xu Wuyang's wife scolded him and gave him two more lashes, and her son screamed again.
Seeing this scene, Fatty Wu looked at me unconsciously and whispered: "Mr. Li, are you asking us to leave?"
Hearing Fatty Wu's words, I was a little doubtful as to whether he meant it. After all, beating children to drive others away is a common practice of many people.
Sometimes there are things that are not good for adults to say directly to guests who come to the house, so they vent their dissatisfaction by beating the children.
And after getting this information, many people know what to do!
Therefore, many children are beaten when they are young, not because they have done anything wrong, but because they have become a way of expression for adults.
I was thinking so, and suddenly, Xu Wuyang, who was cooking, came out and asked his wife: "What's going on?"
His wife said with an angry look: "Ask your son, if he doesn't study well in a day, what will he do?"
After listening to his wife's words, Xu Wuyang looked at his son. His son was sobbing without saying a word.
After Fatty Wu and I looked at each other, we walked towards them. As soon as we walked over, Xu Wuyang and his wife quickly greeted us with a smile: "Master Li, Master Wu, you are all here!"
Seeing her attitude, Fatty Wu and I looked at each other again and felt that she was not targeting us.
"What happened to your son? What happened?" I looked at the crying little guy and asked.
She sighed and said: "That's it. Today their head teacher called me and said that my child was not in class, and even took his classmates to skip class to find some herbal medicine. When I went to school, the teacher gave me a meal and told me that my child was not in class.
Forget it if the child becomes useless, don’t affect other people’s children.”
"When I heard this, I was so angry that I gave him a meal. Master Li, do you think our family can compare with other families? We don't have much culture ourselves, and we have suffered a lot from being uneducated. This child
If we no longer have culture and follow our same path in the future, how can we live like this?"
After listening to the woman's words, I also understood her mood when she beat the child. She was completely hating the iron.
Xu Wuyang also sighed and said: "Yes, Mr. Li, this child's grades are very average, basically at the bottom. When the teacher visits his home, he often says that he is not unsmart, but just unwilling to study.
.”
I stared at the child and did not answer the two of them. I just squatted in front of the child and asked, "You just said, why did he take his classmates out? Looking for herbal medicine?"
"Yeah, I said I was looking for herbal medicine! I just found some and put it in my schoolbag. It made me so angry." Xu Wuyang's wife said quickly.
At this time, her son suddenly said aggrievedly: "That's not carelessness, that's medicine. Xu Songsong's father's foot pain, that medicine can heal his foot, and that medicine is the medicine that healed his grandfather's foot."
Listening to the child's words, Xu Wuyang's wife raised her whip and wanted to give her son a few more lashes, cursing: "You are still lying, you are becoming more and more unsightly, I..."
"Sister-in-law, wait!" I interrupted the woman.
Then he squatted in front of the child and asked: "Will you find medicine for others?"
He pursed his lips in grievance and said nothing, but kept looking at me with his little eyes.
I reached out and took his little hand, comforting him and saying, "It's okay. Don't be afraid. Tell your uncle who taught you how to find medicine for people."
The child sobbed for a while and then said to me: "It's an old grandfather with a long beard. He said he was my grandfather. I dreamed about him at night, and he taught me how to recognize him in my dream."
Those medicines."
"Hey, look, look, this kid is still lying. He is..."
Xu Wuyang's wife was a little anxious, and I immediately said to her: "Sister-in-law, the child didn't lie!"
