Chapter 4 Going into the mountains but not into the soil
He made a silent gesture to Li Daihe, and then walked out of the yard with hands and feet.
Li Daihe is none other than the child of Li Laosan's family next door. Because he and I are classmates, we are close to each other. Although there are rumors in the village that Li Laosan died because of my grandfather, but between the two of us,
It seems that all of this has destiny. Moreover, my father and grandma have helped the Li family a lot over the years, so the hatred back then has faded a lot. I also asked him privately whether he had any resentment or anything like that.
Li Daihe punched me twice.
After leaving the yard, he ran all the way towards Blind Mountain Pass, and many people around him followed him.
The sound of wailing was getting closer, and a lot of people were already gathered at the intersection in the distance. Before I could get closer, I heard the three cripples in the crowd shouting loudly: "Everyone, please retreat."
Back! Back off! If you don’t back off, be careful that your third grandpa lets the little devil catch you!”
The people around him retreated one after another, especially when they saw the malicious face of the three cripples, their courage weakened by three points.
I was far away, but I still saw the coffin board there, and my eyes were somewhat surprised. And on the ground was a male corpse. This male corpse was about seventy or eighty years old, and his face was a little pale. Surrounding the corpse
, it was a pool of blood, and I didn’t know what it was about. A few older middle-aged people hugged the corpse and cried loudly.
"Dad, what evil happened to you? How could it become like this?"
"Dad, if you have a spirit in heaven, you must open your eyes and see that we are your children!"
The cries soared to the sky, making people feel a little trembling in their hearts.
The people around looked at this scene and were all talking in low voices. It was nothing more than what evil this family had done during their lifetime, so that the scene like this happened today.
"Look, the blood is almost flowing into the ditch!" Li Daihe whispered in my ear.
I hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Why is there so much blood?"
"Who knows? Anyway, it was already like this when it was carried to this place!" Li Daihe said, curling his lips.
When many people around saw me coming, they all showed a look of disdain, and then took a few steps away.
I didn't care, I just focused my eyes on the corpses in the crowd.
"Here, I said something like this happened to your family. Where is the person who organized the funeral?" The three cripples took a few steps to the body and asked the two middle-aged men.
"We have followed the instructions without any mistakes! What on earth is going on?" said the older one.
"Humph! This is about going into the mountains but not into the soil. There is a great saying in it!" The three cripples sneered, shook their heads and said: "Your old man was unwilling to give up after his death. He just left like this if he didn't want to!"
"Ah? How is this possible?" The older middle-aged man was a little dazed.
The three cripples laughed and said, "We have reached the mountain pass, but the body rolled down from the coffin. This is a taboo! If you want to be safe, then listen to me!"
"This..." The middle-aged man hesitated.
"Listen to you! We all listen to you!" Another person said hurriedly, with sadness on his face.
The three cripples smiled proudly and said: "Okay, since you want to listen to me, then first use some of the money to build a funeral shed at the blind mountain pass. I will give your old man a blessing and he will be buried tomorrow!"
"
The two middle-aged men looked at each other with some hesitation in their eyes.
The three cripples said hurriedly: "If not, then you can carry it to the mountain and bury it yourself, but you can't tell what impact it will have on the future generations!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" the older man said hurriedly.
A hint of joy flashed across the face of the three cripples, and he said hurriedly: "It will cost 30,000 yuan to set up the funeral shed and carry out the funeral again! You pay the money first, and I will take care of it for you immediately!"
The two brothers were stunned for a moment, but still gritted their teeth and accepted. After all, even the coffin was broken now. Even if they wanted to be buried, there was nothing they could do for a while.
I stared at this scene from a distance, with a faint look of anger on my face.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Daihe looked at me strangely.
I said angrily: "During the funeral, once the spirit is raised and the coffin is carried, it must not be stopped. If not, something bad will happen to both the deceased and our village! What did these three cripples eat?
Medicine, don’t you even understand this?”
"Shh, please keep your voice down, don't you see that he is so proud now?" Li Daihe pulled me and walked to the side.
I looked back at the group of three cripples and found that they had fetched wooden stakes from somewhere and built a shed in a few clicks.
Watching the group of people carrying the body into the shed, I felt a bit delusional in my mind. The deceased was carried here, and the coffin suddenly exploded. Could it be that the rumor that goes into the mountains but never into the ground is really true? In that coffin
What on earth is the blood?
"Let's go back first, we can't stay here!" Li Daihe hurriedly grabbed me.
I hesitated for a moment, then lowered my voice and said, "Xiaohe, if we don't carry this body out tonight, the village will definitely not be quiet!"
Li Daihe was stunned for a moment.
I took a step, quickly pulled away from the crowd, and walked in front of the group of people in two or three steps.
As soon as the three lame man saw me, his face immediately turned cold, "Zhang Tianju, what do you want to do?"
"This corpse cannot be left here, otherwise there will be a big taboo!" I said hurriedly.
"Fart! Who do you think you are? You dare to challenge me, Third Master? Back then, your grandfather made the village uneasy. Do you also want to make Guangling Village uneasy?" The third lame man glared at me.
I took a deep breath and said loudly: "Once the deceased wakes up, there is no reason to stop. Everyone knows this, don't you know?"
"Go away! If you don't go away, I will make you look good!" The three cripples glared at me and said loudly to the people around him: "Have you seen it? The scion of this family has come out again. He is
I thought too few people died in the first place, so I came here to join in the fun again!"
"Three cripples, you are farting!" I yelled.
People around me looked at me with disdain and pointed at me.
"Push him out here, so as not to disturb the master's affairs and create taboos!" The three cripples waved their hands as if to shoo away flies.
My face turned red, and I saw several people rushing over and holding my arms.
"Tianju, come with me quickly, come with me quickly!" Li Daihe took my hand and rushed out.
My chest heaved a little, and I said loudly: "Three cripples, you are causing trouble for the master's family! You are losing your virtue by making this kind of money!"
The three cripples sneered and turned around, and under the service of everyone, they put on Taoist robes.
Li Daihe pulled me away and said with anger on his face: "What are you doing?"
"Xiaohe, something will definitely happen tonight! If the deceased cannot rest in peace after awakening, he will become a ghost. Not only tonight, but if it comes to the first seven days, it will be even worse!" I said hurriedly.
"Go home first!" Li Daihe pushed me into the yard and pulled me into the house.
The more I think about it, the angrier I feel. I always feel that this matter will not be settled like this. If the fuss gets too big, the entire Guangling Village will not be at peace.
"Uncle is back?" Li Daihe smiled hurriedly and said to his father who had just entered the yard.
Dad nodded, and Mom and I looked at me in surprise, and then we went about our business.
After so many years here, my father's personality has also changed a lot. He usually doesn't speak much. Even when someone talks to him, he will hesitate.
Seeing my parents packing lunch, I walked out quickly and said, "Dad, those three cripples..."
"Do what you have to do and don't worry about the rest!" Dad scolded.
I was stunned for a moment and nodded with a sigh.
After returning to the house, after hesitating for a while, I made up my mind. After dinner, I went out to buy some yellow paper, stole some cinnabar from grandma's house, and ran back to the house secretly.
After nightfall, I quietly climbed out of the back window and was about to walk towards the blind mountain pass when a hand suddenly placed on my shoulder.
My scalp felt numb for a while, and I turned my head suddenly and saw Li Daihe's smiling face.
I glared at him, "You kid scared me to death!"
"I knew you were restless, and I must go and have a look tonight!" Li Daihe pouted, looking in the direction of Blind Mountain Pass, and said: "I have helped you find out this afternoon.
His surname was Wang, and he was from the city. The deceased was named Wang Zhenrong, and his two sons arranged the funeral for him. I don’t know if they heard from Mr. Yin and Yang, who said they found a good cemetery in Blind Mountain.
But if his father is to be soaked in the 'blood pool', it is best to bury him with evil spirits!"
"Buried with evil spirits? Is there such a thing?" I was slightly stunned.
"Who wouldn't say it! People in the city have many tricks, but we rural people are more honest!" Li Daihe said with his lips drawn.
My eyes flickered, "Come up with me quickly, let's go over and take a look!"
After I finished speaking, I pulled Li Daihe and walked towards Blind Mountain Pass. I subconsciously felt that something would definitely happen tonight, but I didn't know if it would cause any danger to Guangling Village.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they heard a burst of wailing. Wang Zhenrong's two sons took the lead and knelt outside the funeral shed.
"The eldest is called Wang Xiren, and the second is called Wang Xichen. It is said that they are all rich people in the city!" Li Daihe said hurriedly.
I nodded, my eyes fixed on Wang Xiren, and my pupils shrank slightly.
