Qin Fan sighed and reached out to touch his father's temples. He then quietly got out of bed, covered his father with a thin blanket, and then Qin Fan opened the door and walked out.
In the yard, there is still the black coffin and the everlasting candlelight. From time to time, people are kowtowing and offering incense.
As soon as everyone saw Qin Fan coming out, Qin Feng hurried over and said, "Xiaofan, you're awake."
Brother, Qin Fan shouted. At this time, Qin Zhen hurriedly helped Qin Fan sit on the stool. He quickly reached out and touched Qin Fan's forehead, "Xiaofan, how do you feel now?"
Seeing his brother's thoughtfulness and concern, Qin Fan felt even more uncomfortable.
It’s better to have family members, they are the most considerate and caring people at any time.
Qin Fan shook his head, "Brother, I'm fine." He then looked into the room, shook his head and said, "Our dad is so old, why is he sleeping there?"
Qin Feng sighed, "Ever since you passed out, our dad has been guarding your bedside for almost a day. He didn't let anyone get close to you. He said he was here to guard you."
As he spoke, Qin Feng patted Qin Fan on the shoulder, smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Fan, our dad actually says this, but he still loves you very much in his heart."
Qin Fan's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he turned his face to the side and wiped away his tears.
Qin Feng's eyes were also red, and he said with a smile, "Okay Xiaofan, I know you are doing this for your own reasons, and I have no choice but to do it. Now that you are back, although you haven't seen our mother for the last time, you can send me goodbye then."
she."
Qin Fan shook his head, "Brother, tell me when did our mother die?"
At this moment, Cuilan brought the food to the table and came over to call Qin Fan and the others to eat. Then Qin Fan got up and called his father first.
When Qin Zhen saw that his son was awake, his face suddenly lit up, but in an instant he lowered his face and turned around to go out.
At the dinner table, the family was sitting there. Qin Zhen went back to his room without eating.
The monkey and the raccoon dog were also sitting at the table.
This was the first meal the family had. Qin Fan asked, "Brother, please tell me the specific day when our mother will leave."
Qin Feng nodded and then told Qin Fan.
Qin Fan nodded, and then he counted the time in his mind. The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little low. After Qin Fan finished eating, Qin Fan said, "Brother, I want to see our mother one last time, okay?"
There is a rule in rural areas that after a person dies and is encased, the coffin cannot be opened again after the lid is closed.
So Qin Feng couldn't make up his mind after hearing this. He actually wanted Xiaofan to meet his mother.
So Qin Feng said, "Well, Xiaofan, let me tell my dad about this first. If he agrees, I will go to the Feng Shui master in the village and ask him to do some things before he can do it."
Qin Fan nodded and said yes.
After a while, Qin Feng came back and said, "Dad agreed."
Qin Fan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that his father, who was so stubborn and adhered to the old rules, agreed. How could he not know in his heart that this was his father's painstaking efforts.
I want him to meet his mother.
afternoon.
Qin Feng invited a Feng Shui master to come over. When the master heard that the coffin was to be opened, he refused to agree.
"I'm telling you, Lao Qin, you don't know the rules in our rural areas. You can't open a corpse that has been enshrined." Mr. Feng Shui shook his head.
Qin Zhen said with a straight face, waving his hands, "I know the rules, but this is a special situation. Please help me do a ritual. Open it and let my youngest son take a look. He hasn't seen his mother in decades. If he doesn't look now,
, there will be no chance in the future.”
Mr. Feng Shui groaned, shook his head and sighed, "I also know that this situation is special, and it is a good thing that Xiaofan comes back, but we have never had anything like this here. Besides, what if something bad happens once the coffin is opened?"
"
Qin Zhen shook his head, "Don't worry, my wife has been kind in her life, and besides, her soul will not pose any threat to my family, so you can go ahead."
Qin Zhen also echoed from the side: "Yes, uncle, please help me and let my brother take a look. My mother has been caring about my brother for decades. Now that he is back, let my mother take a look."
I can completely rest my eyes."
Mr. Feng Shui sighed and considered it.
He then nodded and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll open it, but before I open it, I have to invite someone to come over and do a ritual."
Qin Fan listened and realized that he could actually do it, and Qin Fan knew that there was no need to do it.
But this is in their village, and it is already difficult for the villagers to accept that the coffin can be opened again.
So they should just do this ritual, so that the people in the village will feel better.
Qin Zhen nodded and said yes, and then he asked Qin Feng to go door-to-door to inform the villagers and apologize.
Although this is a matter of his Qin family, the people in the village attach great importance to this feng shui scandal. Opening the coffin again will make people in the village feel grudge.
So it would be better to come and say something.
The villagers also nodded to express their understanding. Now that Qin Fan is back, they feel it is necessary for Qin Fan to see his mother for the last time.
But what they didn't know was that Qin Fanrang opened the coffin not just to see his mother's last face, but also to observe the body to see if she could be revived.
It's not like he doesn't know how to revive a corpse. Qin Fan had done this for a child before and pulled the child back from the edge of the Palace of Hell.
However, the mother died of old age after all, and her life span was over, so it would be difficult to return to life, but Qin Fan thought that no matter how difficult it was, he would try.
But he can't say it now, otherwise it will definitely cause panic in the village.
In the early morning, Mr. Feng Shui brought people over to perform rituals.
People in Maixiang Village also knew that the Qin family was going to open the coffin as a ritual, so every family sent their children home and told them to sleep and not come out.
The young and strong men in the village gathered at Qin's house in case something unexpected happened. They had strong yang energy and could help.
When the ritual ceremony began, Qin Fan and the others saw Mr. Feng Shui holding a peach wood sword in front of the altar, singing and dancing some runes and incantations.
There were four or five Taoist priests sitting on the ground chanting sutras.
After tinkering for a while, Mr. Feng Shui slapped a magic talisman on the coffin, and then slapped a talisman on the four corners of the coffin.
Then the Taomu Sword pointed at the sky and muttered.
Qin Fan knelt there and did not move. After a while, Mr. Feng Shui danced again. Then he took out the charm again and burned it. He slapped it directly on the coffin. Mr. Feng Shui stopped and wiped the sweat from his head.
Then he motioned to the men of the village to approach, each holding a candle in his hand.
Then, Mr. Feng Shui shouted, "It's ready to go now."
At this time, several men from the village stepped forward, took out the coffin nails, and then slowly opened the coffin lid.
Thinking that he could finally see his mother, Qin Fan's eyes turned red and he hurriedly lay down in front of the coffin and looked inside.
