Chapter 5: Rural ghosts (1)

Everyone present took a breath of air, not understanding why the chopstick was straight in a bowl filled with clear water and did not fall down. Uncle Zhang looked at everyone and explained: "Although there are chopsticks in every family, few people know that chopsticks are also spiritual. Now it's easy to know who is pestering the child."

He turned to Junjun's mother and said, "Junjun's mother, you go and buy three-bit paper later. Let Junjun's father take the paper and circle the left three times on the right three times. After going out, he can burn it for the old lady. There is a reason why this old lady is pestering the child. She has no money to spend it, and the second she also misses the child, so she came back to see the child. As long as Junjun's father burned the paper, it would be fine."

Junjun's mother was about to make arrangements, but Mr. Zhang called her again and said, "Oh... By the way, tell Junjun's father that he must not look back when he comes back, otherwise he will bring the old lady's soul back. And... This child's aunt is a childless girl, and in the future, he will give her some money during the holidays. It is best to get a tablet for some incense, so that the old lady can keep your family safe."

Junjun's mother went out to do it as Mr. Zhang ordered. Uncle Zhang picked up the clear water on the table and went out to splash it out, then turned around and told everyone again: "It's all gone. The child is fine for a while and asked Junjun's father to burn the paper." After that, the old man left. Junjun's mother touched the child's head and said in surprise: "This child has really subsided." I secretly looked at the corner of the wall, and it turned out that the old lady had disappeared.

At night, the four of us lived in the same house. The kang in the northeastern countryside can occupy half of the space of the house. The four of us slept on the same kang and were very crowded. The kang in the countryside is very interesting. When people cook, they directly heat the kang. After cooking, they just press some coal to ensure that the temperature of the kang will not drop. After the kang is heated, they lie on and stretch your waist. The pores all over your body are opened. It feels comfortable, which is absolutely different from the feeling of sleeping on the electric mattress. I think the electric mattress will produce electromagnetics during the heating process. This electromagnetic is harmful to the human body. (I have not checked the information about this, it is just a personal feeling.) My aunt lives in the countryside of Daxinganling.

I remember one time in winter, my parents took me to my aunt's house for the New Year. My aunt insisted that I sleep on the kang, saying that children should have sleep on the kang since childhood. This is a good physical condition. If I sleep on the bed for a long time, I will find any disease when I get older. (There are differences between the kang and the kang. The kang is where the kang is connected to the furnace. The fire is quite fierce, so it is very hot. The kang is much worse because the fire is very weak when the fire reaches the kang.) I lay on the kang for a while and felt that the cold air started from the root of my hair. I didn't want to sleep on the kang. In the end, my aunt had no choice but to let me sleep on the kang. Now that I think about half of the reason why rural people are in good health than urban people may be related to sleeping on the kang?

That night I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking to myself: "How come all unlucky things can make me greedy? Alas! Anyway, I have to bear this, so I can only bear it, so let it go! But I decided to study the two books left for me by the sixth aunt when she was dying, otherwise I would be scared to death if I encountered those dirty things in the future.

Suddenly the lights were on... I was thinking about what happened today. The lights were so lit up that I was so scared that I sat up and saw Liangzi standing in the middle of the ground like a wooden stick. I cursed: "*! Smile Liangzi, are you blowing up the corpse? What do you want to scare people in the middle of the night?" Liangzi said: "What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Even if there is something really, you will be holding on to me." I said: "Just blow it, if there is something really happening, you will be scared long ago." At this time, Xiaogang and Xiaoyu both got up. I saw that they were not sleepy at all, and they were all very excited.

Liangzi said, "It's not interesting to go to bed so early, how about I tell you a ghost story?" Xiaogang and Xiaoyu both said, "Okay! OK! Tell me quickly." Liangzi sat cross-legged on the kang and started telling us.

"This is a real story that my second uncle experienced. In the early years, my grandfather's family lived in the countryside. My second uncle lived with my grandfather and my grandfather and my grandfather. When he was 19 years old, a widow named Wang died in the village. The widow Wang had only a 12-year-old son and there were no people in the family, so the village chief asked each family to come up with a young man to help with her funeral." Xiaogang asked when he heard this and asked, "One family is one? Why do you need so many people to do? Isn't it enough to carry it to bury it?" Liangzi said contemptuously: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. What do you know? Burial in the countryside

There are many pharaohs, so there must be eight people carrying the coffin. Here is a saying called "Eight Immortals", and there must be four people who dig graves, and there is also a saying called "Taking a hole". Before digging a hole, there must be sacrifices to open the mountain. A filial son must burn incense and light candles to perform the ceremony of opening the mountain, and a Tai Sui must also draw Tai Sui. When opening the mountain, you must avoid the direction of Tai Sui, otherwise you will be "Taking the earth on the head of Tai Sui", and the family will suffer disasters. Do you understand? If you don't understand, don't interrupt there." Liangzi spoke in a series of ways, just like a continuous cannon.

Xiaogang immediately said, "Okay, brother, I'm wrong, please continue to talk." Liangzi continued, "My second uncle also went with me. When I arrived at Wang's house, I happened to see Yin Banxian's village 'consecration' of Widow Wang." Xiaogang started to interrupt when he heard this: "I*, I'm going to consecrate even if everyone dies? Did the Banxian in the village where your second uncle is a monk before?"

"Bah!" Before Xiaogang finished speaking, Liangzi spat at Xiaogang fiercely. "You know what's the matter! Forget it, let me tell you about the customs of burial in rural areas. When the dead man is to be carried out, he must first find a fairy to "consecrate". The so-called consecration is divided into eyes, looking at the hometown, slapping the face, listening to all directions, opening the nose, smelling the fragrance, opening the mouth, eating cattle and sheep. The dead man has been shining, satisfying all kinds of desires, and only after he is buried in the soil can he get rest, so that he will not have any wishes and come back to harass his descendants.

It is also very important when ceremonializing tombs. During sacrifices, a rooster will kill it and use its blood to pay tribute. The rooster will not die immediately, but will sway repeatedly in the tomb. According to the old saying, the descendants of the rooster will prosper when they die in the tomb. The rooster's feathers are called "phoenix hair", and must be picked off. Before burial, the son of the deceased must put the grains made of grains and grains in the tomb. A small pancake is covered with the mouth of the tomb. A ceramic jar is also placed in the tomb, and a bean oil lamp is placed on the jar, which is called the eternal lamp. In some places, a bronze mirror is embedded in the tomb chamber to symbolize the sun. In ancient times, rich families must stay away from the tomb and shoot three pieces of food.

Arrow, then retreat immediately. I dare not approach the coffin in this way because I am worried that I can't suppress the evil spirits and will suffer. When the coffin is placed in the tomb, I must set fire to the underworld, saying that it is a farewell to the dead to the underworld. The time for burial is also important. The sun sets the coffin and the coffin also falls. When the soil is dropped, the "Eight Immortals" slowly put it down. After the soil is settled, the relatives must grab the soil and throw it on the coffin. This is called "adding soil". After the coffin is down, a thin layer of soil must be covered, and then the soil swept out from the tomb is spread on it. Then a bowl must be placed, called "cloth and rice bowl". This is done to move lighter when moving the grave in the future, so as not to alarm the dead and bring misfortune.

After Yin Banxian'er opened the money for Widow Wang, he had to put money into her mouth, but no matter how he broke it, he couldn't break the mouth of Widow Wang. As soon as he died, his mouth would naturally open, but Widow Wang's mouth was closed so hard that it could not be opened. Yin Banxian'er knew that Widow Wang must have had any wishes or difficult things during his lifetime, and he muttered out: "The dead are gritting their teeth, it's so difficult!" The village chief was also helping Zhang Luo to ask Yin Banxian'er: "What's wrong?"

Banxian'er said, "Wife Wang gritted her teeth and couldn't put the money in. I guess she must have lost her wish, otherwise she wouldn't have such a thing." The village chief said, "That... if you can't put it in, don't let it go. People in this hot day can't be left here." Yin Banxian'er saw that there was no way, so she could only bury Widow Wang like this.

At that time, my second uncle was among the four people who were pierced. After all the procedures were completed, the four of them came back. When they were down the mountain, a young man named Xiaoba said to my second uncle: "You said... this person is really boring to live, he will die if he says he dies." My second uncle said: "Yes... Widow Wang died in his 30s, it's really useless." Xiaoba was happy with my second uncle: "What? Did you fall in love with the King of Widow Wang?" My second uncle laughed and scolded: "Go to your mother, you fell in love with her. But that Widow Wang was still quite beautiful when he was alive." Several people cursed and said something.
