Live burial?!

Not only my parents, but also myself, were shocked. I was buried alive, can I still survive?

Chen Xiucai didn't explain too much, but said that he went out to buy some things and came back in seven days. During these seven days, he would be sure to protect the "Seven-Star Life-Sustaining Light" and not let the Life-Sustaining Light go out, otherwise my soul would be taken away by the underworld.

The "Seven-Star Life-Sustaining Lamp" mentioned by Chen Xiucai is the seven oil lamps placed around. The seven lamps look plain and are made of brass and are old. The surface has been stripped of copper paint. The lamps contain kerosene and burn fires as big as soybeans.

Then I realized that the seven lamps were not placed casually. One was placed on top of my head, two on my left and right shoulders, two on my left and right hands, and two on my left and right hands, and two on my two feet.

After Chen Xiucai finished his explanation, he left, leaving his father and mother to protect me in the temple.

I felt extremely sleepy and closed my eyes in a drowsy manner.

For seven days, my body has become weaker and weaker. I have been in a state of confusion. I woke up a few times in the middle, but soon fell asleep again. My subconscious mind told me that I was almost out of reach.

On the evening of the seventh day, Chen Xiucai came back and brought back a large dark coffin.

It is hard to imagine how he, an old man in his 100th century, carried back this heavy coffin?

Chen Xiucai took a mud ball and stuffed it into my mouth. It was bitter and astringent, with a scent of earthy smell.

The nipan melted at the entrance, and I woke up, and I was very clear about it.

I saw Chen Xiucai and my father and mother. In just seven days, they were exhausted, and their temples were covered with silver threads, as if they had suddenly become more than ten years old.

Chen Xiucai asked my father to help me and put me carefully into the coffin. The coffin was cold and made me feel very scared.

Then, Chen Xiucai placed the seven-star life-extending lamp in the coffin according to the previous position.

"Buried in your backyard!" Chen Xiucai said to my father.

My father said, "Okay, I'll go find two brothers to help carry the coffin!"

Chen Xiucai waved his hand and said no, he took out four pieces of yellow paper from his arms, cut them with scissors a few times, and cut the four pieces of yellow paper into human shape.

I couldn't see what happened later. Chen Xiucai slowly closed the lid of the coffin, leaving only a gap that could make me breathable. Then I heard him shout, and the heavy coffin seemed to be carried by someone, and he walked out of the mountain temple smoothly.

When I returned to my backyard, the coffin was slowly put into the pit, and my heart was lifted tightly. The seven-star life-sustaining lamp in the coffin was still on, which finally made me feel a little warm.

Chen Xiucai asked my father to kill a big red rooster, then dipped his fingers in chicken blood, drew some strange patterns on the surface of the coffin, and finally stuffed the dead chicken into the coffin and said to me: "Close your eyes and have a good sleep!"

The loess fell on the coffin, and a hollow bamboo tube was inserted, passing through the gap in the coffin, leaving me a breathable hole.

After the soil was sealed, I was completely buried underground.

The surroundings were terriblely quiet. I lay in the coffin, my heart pounding.

Soon, the seven-star life-sustaining lamps were extinguished one after another, and the whole person suddenly fell into cold darkness.

I held the dead chicken in my arms, and closed my eyes tiredly.

Can I live through tonight?

Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi

The crowing sound of the rooster cut through the quiet mountain village.

The coffin lid was removed, and the first ray of morning light passed through the gap in the coffin lid and fell on my face.

I took a deep breath and opened my eyes suddenly.

Squinted and bathed in the slight morning light, the first thought flashed through my mind: "I'm still alive?"

"Although still alive! Jiuyizi is still alive!" My father's old face appeared beside the coffin. He pointed to the coffin and shouted excitedly.

When the coffin lid was pushed open, I crawled out of the coffin, stretched comfortably, feeling full of strength, resurrected from the dead and resurrected.

Looking at the familiar grass and trees around me, I realized for the first time that it was sobering that it was so good to live.

My father pulled me over and came to Chen Xiucai: "Kneel down for Xiucai!"

After resurrecting last night, I admired Chen Xiucai's ability from the bottom of my heart. As soon as my father finished speaking, I held my fists and bowed to Chen Xiucai and knelt down at Chen Xiucai. While saying thanks to Xiucai, I kowtowed three times to Chen Xiucai.

Chen Xiucai pointed at the coffin: "Buried the coffin back into the ground, come to the mountain temple to find me at midnight! From now on, you can just follow me!"

Chen Xiucai said this to me. I don’t know why Chen Xiucai had to hang out with him, nor did he know what kind of reputation he could make with him. However, since Chen Xiucai is my savior, he must have a reason for doing this. Moreover, after yesterday’s incident, I dare not make any decisions anymore. If I go out quietly, I will probably die on the road.

Chen Xiucai greeted us and said that he had been tired all night and went back to the mountain temple to rest first. He would not eat anything when his parents kept him for breakfast.

After seeing off Chen Xiucai, we returned to the backyard and buried the coffin again underground according to Chen Xiucai's instructions.

Looking at the new mud rising on the ground, am I saying goodbye to myself before?

I was full of energy and regained my former anger. I had to eat three big bowls of white rice in one meal. Seeing me coming back to life, my parents' frown brows also stretched out, and the whole family praised Chen Xiucai.

It was almost midnight and as agreed, I had to go to the mountain temple to pay homage to Chen Xiucai.

My father asked me to carry two bottles of wine, a fat old hen, and stuffed a red envelope into my pocket, asking me to hand it over to Chen Xiucai to express my gratitude.

In our western Hunan, whether it is a wedding or a happy event or a fellow villagers in the village, they pay attention to giving a red envelope and expressing gratitude. It is a custom. The amount of the red envelope can be large or small, depending on the owner's wishes. When encountering major events, the owner will also pay hundreds of dollars. Generally, small things, or if the owner is not very rich, they only have more than ten or twenty yuan or two packs of cigarettes. People who receive red envelopes will not dislike it, mainly to make a happy ending.

In the dark night, I knocked on the gate of the mountain temple.

Chen Xiucai's voice came from the temple: "Push the door is pushed in, don't knock my door!"

Seeing me carrying two bottles of wine, Chen Xiucai's eyes narrowed into a slit. I handed him the red envelope, but he did not refuse. He took it, put it in his pocket, and then instructed me to make a fire.

By the time I set the fire on, Chen Xiucai had killed the old hen, skewed the chickens with branches, and put them on the fire to grill them.

Chen Xiucai's alcohol tolerance was not enough. He drank more than half of the two bottles of wine. I drank about half of it and I had a big tongue when I spoke.

Chen Xiucai licked his shiny fingers, patted my shoulder and said, "Boy, follow Mr. Chen, and you will be safe from now on. Building a new house is no problem!"

"Really or not?" My eyes couldn't help but lit up after hearing what Chen Xiucai said.

Chen Xiucai stroked his beard, burped and said, "What's wrong? Don't believe me?"

"Believe! I must believe! From now on, I, Xiao Jiu, will follow my master!" I nodded quickly. Although Chen Xiucai drank some wine, he didn't seem to be bragging when he heard him.

I don’t know exactly what Chen Xiucai is doing. I only know that he has some knowledge of his Taoism. The villagers will invite him to see any weddings and weddings, and give him a few red envelopes, but that little bit of happiness is definitely not enough for the Xiucai to live.

I couldn't help but ask Chen Xiucai what he was doing over the years. It seemed that it was easy to get rich by his tone.

Chen Xiucai's eyes rolled, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "I'll take a nap first, and call me when the rooster crows!"

After saying this, Chen Xiucai was really free and easy. He lay on the spot and quickly started to snore.

I was also close to the fire and dozed off in a daze. When the rooster crowed, I woke up Chen Xiucai. Chen Xiucai stretched and stood up to walk into the temple. When he came out, he carried a worn but clean military backpack and changed into a pair of brand new black cloth shoes: "Let's go!"

"Where do you go?" I got up and followed Chen Xiucai happily.

Chen Xiucai showed a mysterious smile: "Marry a wife!"
