Chapter 7 Ghost knocking on the door 2

After having breakfast, the whole family went to the cemetery. My baby and I also went there. After all, my baby and I didn't come back during the funeral. Our custom here is that there are red events and white events at home.

If things happen in the same month (calculated according to the lunar calendar), each other does not participate. My brother is a grandson, so he must go, but I don’t have to go.

Grandma's grave is halfway up a hillside. Behind the grave, to the left, there is a bush that grows very lush, just like an umbrella for the grave. At the bottom of the hillside, there is a small stream, which can be regarded as having water. The small

Beyond the stream, there is a wide farmland. The view goes right through the middle of two hills, and you can see far away.

The second uncle explained to my cousin the cemetery for a while. I, an idler, could only sit at the outermost edge of the crowd and could not hear what they said at all.

I really don’t know about the feng shui of cemeteries. But I also have my own experience. That is, it is best to sit halfway up the mountain. The wind on the top of the mountain is too windy. It is best to have a backrest behind the grave, just like the backrest of a chair.

.Standing in front of the tomb, it is best if there is water in the field of vision, and it is best not to be blocked by mountains, buildings, trees or anything else. The farther you can see, the better.

The second uncle handed the compass to his cousin, climbed up and down, and looked around the cemetery twice. He said, "The location is good. There should be no water."

I saw the same thing on that grave. It was a new grave. The mud was all dry and there was no monument.

(We bury the deceased in a new grave here, and the monument was erected five years later after the gold was collected and moved. To collect gold is to open the coffin, and pick up the bones of the deceased, from toes to head, piece by piece into a jar called the Jintan. Then.

Finding a place to bury and collecting gold is usually done a few days before Qingming Festival.)

The second uncle hesitated for a moment and said: "Since we are here, let's pay our respects first. If that doesn't work, we can invite ghosts in the evening." After all, the tomb cannot be opened just by asking. The second uncle did not dare to make up his mind.

The uncles began to prepare. They burned incense and money and paper, told the story again, and asked grandma to forgive them.

I also held the baby, held the incense stick with the baby's little hand, and bowed. I asked my brother to help put the incense stick on it. When everyone was praying, I was afraid that the smoke would harm my baby, so I held the baby and left.

Then we arrived at the edge of the grave. In the mud beside the grave, there were small grass tips as big as a palm, which were different from the grass that didn’t grow there. I couldn’t see the small grass tips coming out even if I didn’t have sharp eyes.

Woolen cloth.

It hasn’t rained for several days since my grandmother was buried, and it’s a new cemetery on a hillside. Logically speaking, grass shouldn’t grow so fast. It should wait for rain at the earliest. How can it grow without water? Look at the grass on the surface

The mud was so dry that it was caked together. Grass tips popped out from the cracks.

"Second uncle," I shouted, "look here."

The second uncle came over, looked at where I was pointing, frowned, and dug out a few hardened mud lumps with his hands. There were really green and white grass underneath. There was still a little moisture in the mud.

The second uncle immediately shouted: "Brother, come here and dig a few times here."

The cousin walked over and everyone followed him.

Because that place is only the edge of the cemetery, when making new graves, a large area of ​​land was shoveled, and the grave was in the middle. In this place, it would not interfere with the grave, so we started directly.

There was no good tool at the time, so my cousin picked up a branch from the ground and dug it up. Judging from his speed, my cousin had some friendship with him after all (one-night stand? Sharing the same bed is a must.)

, also helped to dig there with the branches. The second uncle sat on the rocks on the ground, smoking cigarettes, with a sullen face. Looking at the dug soil, it was getting wetter and wetter. He said: "Okay, don't

Dig it out, fill it back in."

I saw that the mud finally dug out was good enough to build a mud castle for my baby. There must be water underneath.

The second uncle put out his cigarette and took out an almanac from the black bag he carried with him. I thought to myself: Second uncle, please don't be so embarrassed, okay? Don't Feng Shui masters just make calculations with their fingers? You

I flipped through it again and again, looking at the almanac. No matter how I looked at it, I thought of a street liar.

After flipping through it for a while, the second uncle said: "If the burial can be moved tomorrow, the eldest son will go and tell the old man that he has made her suffer. We will move her tomorrow. Well, find someone to take me around here and see.

Seeing as there is no good land yet, we need to dig a hole today and move the body early tomorrow morning."

As the second uncle was packing his things, he was about to leave. An uncle immediately led the way. Naturally, his cousin also followed.

The uncle started telling grandma about moving. A group of us also left after burning the cannons. When we got home, the uncle was still busy contacting people to help tomorrow. In our place, for relocation and burial, the host family is a filial son.

, those who don’t carry the coffin. The ones who carry the coffin are all brothers in the clan house, and they also need help from people who specialize in white-collar work.

The rest is our family of three, plus the rich second generation and their beautiful wives. As you can imagine, no one can cook. If my uncle's family hadn't been rich and hired a relative to look after the house, there would be so many

People are busy at work, so we are probably hungry at home. However, dinner that day was only served after eight o'clock in the evening, after the second uncle and cousin came back.

The next day's tomb relocation went smoothly. The ceremony was very complicated and there were many procedures. My uncle was indeed a rich man in the local area. Even the burial was carried out with a grand ceremony of hundreds of people.

The second uncle is a pig's trotter today, and my cousin has been following me. I am just the grandson's wife, and I have a child. They asked me to go home first and watch the feeding of the child. So I can't talk about so many procedures.

A dozen tables of meals have been placed in the yard of my hometown. Everyone came back in the afternoon and started eating as soon as they came back.

There were a lot of people, and most of them I didn’t know. I didn’t want to wear a smiling face from beginning to end, so I just carried the baby upstairs and went back to the room to rest.

Although this house is built as a villa, it still has a rural style. There is only one bathroom and toilet on the first floor. The baby had just fallen asleep and before I could squint my eyes, I heard the noise of my cousin and cousin outside. The house

The soundproofing was not very good, so I heard the two of them flirting there.

It turns out that when they go up the mountain, they will be covered in mud. The cousin originally brought a set of clothes, but the cousin thought he was uncouth, so he asked him to change into his cousin's clothes. The cousin was reluctant, but now he lives in someone else's house, and he is the boss.

, and still expect others to pay for it. After pushing and shouting, my cousin also changed into clothes.

The baby moved uneasily. I went out and said, "You two, please be quiet. My baby woke up. Please help me take care of it."

The cousin in front of me had a sly smile on his face, and he was wearing a pink T-shirt and white pants. He looked as showy as he wanted. My cousin looked at me awkwardly and slipped downstairs to eat.

My cousin said: "It's much better this way, it doesn't have that earthy smell anymore."

I continued: "Then what? What do you want?"

My cousin was stunned for a moment before he understood what I meant. He rolled his eyes at me and said, "How dare I do anything to him? You don't know how majestic he was just now. Then he was reciting that rebirth mantra or something, and he was slipping away.

.”

Does my cousin still do this? Last time I saw him, didn't he know nothing? Has the business improved so quickly?

In the evening, my cousin went upstairs. I took the baby on the second floor and watched the seven aunts and eight aunts downstairs clearing the table, and asked him to come over and chat for a few words.

"I heard that you were very impressive today. You can also recite mantras? You are not such a rookie anymore." I said.

My cousin suddenly turned red, scratched his nose, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said, "I don't know how. My dad told me to be the top one. I just, uh, I just read English in a different tone."

of."

Passed out! Is this okay? Grandma is so old, can she understand English? She is a standard charlatan, don’t say I know them.

My cousin actually read two sentences to me, but I really couldn’t understand them. If he hadn’t told me in advance that they were in English, I wouldn’t have been able to understand them at all.

I hooked my hand at my cousin, asking him to lean down to accommodate my height, and then said in his ear: "Be careful when the old man comes to ask you tonight what you said to her today."

The cousin's face instantly turned pale.

That night, grandma really didn't knock on the door again.

The next day, my second uncle said he would stay for another day and took his cousin around the three villas. My baby and I learned to crawl in the hall and watched my brother and his cousins ​​build the Great Wall.

(Here’s a word of advice to my dear friends, please don’t play with the rich second generation on the Great Wall. We can’t afford to lose that person.)
