The blood on the back of my clothes was clearly left behind, as the blood on it hadn't yet clotted and soaked a large patch of my clothes.Thinking that Sister Xiaomei had been dead for several days, I couldn't help but be afraid, but then a bold idea came up, Sister Xiaomei followed me all the way just now, maybe these blood words were left behind me by her.I was still pondering, but the second uncle took the bloody clothes from my hand and burned them directly with a lighter, "Wu Chen, this thing is unlucky, you can feel at ease if you burn it." ”The second uncle has lived in the countryside since he was a child, so he naturally believes in these taboo statements.I didn't know what to say, so I had to be naked and asked: "Second uncle, how did Sister Xiaomei die" Thinking that the ghost just now was Sister Xiaomei, I am still afraid for a while."
Hey, let's talk as we go."
After the second uncle burned off his clothes, he took me back to the village and said to me, "This Xiaomei, I heard from my husband's family that she died suddenly, and she was a few months pregnant, and she had two lives, but Xiaomei's body has always been very healthy, and I haven't heard of any serious illness."
Your mother-in-law had already sworn not to mourn for those who died.But Xiaomei grew up with her, and your mother-in-law wanted to give her a ride, but she didn't want to take her life. ”I could tell that the second uncle also felt that the death of his mother-in-law was strange.Even a fool can understand this, Sister Xiaomei died violently for no reason.And the mother-in-law is a capable crying mourner, and now she is dead, which means that the mother-in-law must know some secret, so she died in Huangquan.The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was not a point, so I asked: "Second uncle, do you know how my mother-in-law died?"
"I don't know either." ”The second uncle shook his head and said, "When I entered your house, I saw your mother-in-law lying in a coffin, with no injuries on her body, and she died peacefully, but her eyes were not closed. ”I saw that what the second uncle said was not very clear, so I was anxious to go back and check how my mother-in-law died.After a few more idle words, we finally arrived at the door of the house, and the lights were on.As soon as I pushed the door in, I saw a thick coffin in the middle of the hall.It's just that the color of this coffin is different from the color of other coffins, and it is actually red.I remember very well that I did not have such a coffin at home.And the mother-in-law said at the time that her life was still long, and she didn't need to build the coffin first.So, I'm pretty sure this coffin is not my mother-in-law's.When the second aunt saw me coming back, she immediately stood up from the bench and greeted me cordially: "Morning, you are finally back, come and see your mother-in-law for the last time."
Your mother-in-law didn't even close her eyes when she died, maybe she can't rest assured of you. ”"Got it, second aunt."
Looking at my mother-in-law's coffin, I completely accepted the truth about my mother-in-law's death.has been dependent on her mother-in-law since she was a child, and before she could enjoy Qingfu, she left first.And the strength I had been deliberately pretending to be strong finally collapsed at this moment.Tears fell down my eyes, my body seemed to be emptied, and I felt that the important things in my life had disappeared."
Mother-in-law, I'm back, I'm back to accompany you."
I touched the coffin and wept as I spoke."
Wu Chen, don't be sad, let's see your mother-in-law for the last time.Let her old man close her eyes and go in peace," the second uncle came over and patted me on the shoulder, and said comfortingly."
Hmm."
I nodded with tears in my eyes, and the second uncle was about to push the coffin lid open.But something strange happened, the second uncle pushed it a few times, and lifted it a few times, but the coffin lid couldn't be lifted, as if it was fixed to death."
Hey, it's evil, why can't this coffin be opened."
The second uncle muttered a few words in confusion, and then called me, "Wu Chen, help, see if we can lift up." ”"Okay, second uncle."
I wiped my tears and agreed.Immediately, I began to carry the coffin lid with my second uncle.The coffin is thick and heavy, a bit like a man's coffin.The second uncle carried the coffin cover, I carried the coffin cover, and after one, two, three, we exerted force at the same time.But we tried our best to lift it, but we still didn't lift the coffin."
Oh yes, this is evil," the second aunt also murmured, "Chen, I only covered the coffin with your second uncle in the afternoon, but I didn't expect it to be opened now, it doesn't make sense, we haven't nailed the coffin yet."
Don't you, you didn't kowtow to your mother-in-law" As soon as the second aunt said this, I immediately came to my senses, and then lit three incense sticks and knelt in front of my mother-in-law's coffin, choking and crying, "Mother-in-law, I'm Wu Chen, I'm back to see you, just let me take a last look at you." ”However, just as I was crying for my mother-in-law, the three sticks of incense I was holding in my hand clicked and all of them were broken.I was startled, my pupils shrank, and I looked at the three broken remnants of incense on the ground, but my heart was full of shock.I remember very clearly, my mother-in-law said that when crying and mourning, if all the three incense sticks are broken, then it means that this person died unexpectedly, and what my mother-in-law told me must not be able to fake my mind, and an uneasy thought suddenly appeared, that is, my mother-in-law went to cry for Sister Xiaomei and was framed.Thinking of this, I slapped my head violently, remembering that Sister Xiaomei said just now that her mother-in-law asked her to pick me up.That means that the death of her mother-in-law must have something to do with Sister Xiaomei."
Oh, even the incense on the morning is broken, there is no grievance, I don't want to die" I was still pondering, and the second aunt muttered suspiciously.The second uncle and the second aunt have a good relationship with their mother-in-law, so they naturally know what it means for the incense to be broken during crying and mourning, and the three incense sticks are broken at the same time.I also nodded confusedly, and then said my conjecture, "Second uncle, I met Sister Xiaomei on the way back just now, does she want to tell me any secrets?"
"Probably not." ”The second uncle shook his head uncertainly, and said, "The Xiaomei you saw must be a ghost, if she wanted to tell you, she would have told you a long time ago."
I'm also worried that Xiaomei will become a ghost and will harm you. ”The second uncle's words are not unreasonable, if Sister Xiaomei wanted to tell me, she could have told me a long time ago, there is no need to wait until she walked to the foot of the mountain to tell me.The second uncle looked very calm, patted the coffin, squinted his eyes and said, "Wu Chen, you also know that your mother-in-law has some skills, but she will definitely not harm us."
Your mother-in-law may have something missing, don't be afraid, I'll go find a gentleman tomorrow to see what's going on. ”"Hmm."
I nodded and said, "I want to open the coffin as soon as possible to see my mother-in-law for the last time, so that she can close her eyes and go to reincarnation with peace of mind." ”Mother-in-law is a professional mourner, knows a lot of taboos, and also knows some Taoist methods.But now it's good, my mother-in-law has cried and mourned all her life, but now she is inexplicably dead, and now she can't even open her coffin.My mother-in-law died very evil, so I must find a Taoist priest to see what is going on.All night, I stood guard in front of my mother-in-law's coffin.Occasionally, I said a few words to my mother-in-law through the coffin, but I felt uncomfortable.Finally, it was dawn, and after breakfast, I was ready to go to the town with my second uncle to find Mr.
Feng Shui.It was a coincidence that my second uncle and I were about to go out, and a wandering Taoist priest came to the door.The gentleman was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and a cloth bag with a Tai Chi pattern hanging on his shoulder.He looks like he is in his forties, quite a bit of a fairy, but he looks very poor when he is dressed.My second uncle and I were about to go out, and the Taoist priest walked to the door and waved with one hand, "Poor Dao Zhou Bazi, wandering through this place, I hope to ask for a glass of wine." ”As soon as the second uncle saw Zhou Bazi, he was overjoyed, and directly introduced Zhou Bazi into the door, and greeted politely: "Mr.
Zhou, come into the house and sit." ”As soon as Zhou Bazi entered the door, he stopped in front of the door, laughed, and said, "Presumably the master's cup of wine is not delicious, and the coffin in this hall is a bit evil." ”This week, Bazi is also a smart person, and he guessed the second uncle's thoughts.The second uncle was not sloppy, and hurriedly said: "Mr.
Zhou has good eyesight, I can't hide it, I have encountered strange things at home, and I can help Mr.
Zhou resolve them." ”"That's it, that's it."
Zhou Bazi shook off the dust and sighed: "Since the poor road has met, it can be regarded as a fixed number, but the poor road can only do its best." ”I saw that this week's Bazi speech was also a set, and he didn't look like a liar, and he didn't open his mouth to mention money, so I felt a lot more at ease.Zhou Bazi glanced at the coffin, and asked us to tell him everything that had happened.The second uncle knew this matter better than me, so he told Zhou Bazi about it as it was.After listening to Zhou Bazi, he turned around the side of the coffin three times, and then shook his head and sighed.I was also anxious in my heart, so I asked: "Mr.
Zhou, is there any way" Zhou Bazi glanced at me, nodded and said: "Your mother-in-law should have died unexpectedly, and the resentment in her heart was too heavy, so that this coffin could not be opened." ”As soon as I heard Zhou Bazi's words, I proved the guess in my heart, and hurriedly asked politely: "Mr.
Zhou, is there any way to open this coffin?"
"Don't worry" Zhou Bazi shook his head and said: "This coffin will definitely not be opened now, and this coffin can only be opened when your mother-in-law's resentment dissipates."
To tell the truth, Poor Dao does not have the ability to open this coffin. ”:
