The old lady of the Xu family took a look at the thing in her hand and said to me: "My lord, this should be something left to you by your ancestors."
What did you leave for me? I was surprised. The ancient corpse of emotion came towards me just to give me something. Your intention was good, but you didn’t want to think that you were already so rotten and still staggering.
If you don't mind sending me something, I really do.
I took the thing handed over by the old lady of the Xu family, and I felt very awkward thinking that this thing was still in the mouth of the ancient corpse just a second ago.
This is a piece of jade. It is extremely warm and moist to the touch. It seems to be as smooth as silk. It is a fine piece of jade. There is a Qin character engraved on the jade, which is outlined in small seal characters. It is about three fingers long and two fingers wide.
I played with it for a while, then handed it to the old lady of the Xu family and said: "This thing looks very precious, and it is very old. It must be your family heirloom. How could it be left to me?"
When the old lady of the Xu family heard this, she quickly said: "This must be something left by our ancestors to my little master. Our ancestors left corpses for thousands of years just to offer jade to my little master. If my little master doesn't want it, then our ancestors' thoughts
But it’s all wasted.”
I still wanted to refuse, but the old lady of the Xu family insisted: "Young master, you must accept it. This is your family's thing. You go back and show it to your father or grandpa. Maybe you will find something and maybe you can solve it."
Some secrets of the little master."
Seeing the stubborn look of the old lady of the Xu family, I shrugged and had no choice but to accept it.
The old lady of the Xu family looked at her ancestors who were still kneeling aside, and said to the rabbit: "My ancestors came to this world today just to understand their wishes. Now that our ancestors' wishes have been fulfilled, it's time to return home."
"Don't make this matter public. After all, our ancestor has been dead for so many years, and the discovery of his body is a great panic for many people. I won't mention this matter to the people in the clan. Go to Carpenter Xu's house as soon as possible and let him know."
He sent me my sandalwood coffin, and we finally buried our ancestor. This matter is over."
"When Carpenter Xu asked you, you just said that I am old and may die at some point. It would be easier to leave the coffin at home. I don't think he will interfere with my affairs, so go quickly."
As soon as Rabbit heard this, he quickly took a flashlight, opened the door and rushed into the vast night. According to the old lady of the Xu family, people in their village seemed to be buried in coffins instead of cremated after death, which was illegal.
The old lady of the Xu family wanted the ancient corpse kneeling aside to lie down, but as soon as her hand touched the ancient corpse, the bones fell apart. Without the support of the unknown force, it seemed that the ancient corpse would become
An ordinary pile of bones.
The old lady of the Xu family sighed and slowly straightened the scattered bones on the ground. However, the bones were shattered on the ground and the old lady of the Xu family could not put them back together completely.
After a while, I heard footsteps outside the Xu family's gate. The old lady of the Xu family said to the gate: "Just leave the coffin at the door. Carpenter Xu, you go back first and let Xu Hui guard the door."
.”
A deep male voice came from outside the door and said, "Mr. Xu, are you okay?" The old lady of the Xu family said, "It's nothing serious. You should go back first." The deep male voice said, "Okay, please take care of yourself.
, I'm back." After saying that, he left with the sound of footsteps.
Zou Yang and I walked outside the gate and helped Rabbit push the car carrying the coffin in. Using the lights in the courtyard, I saw that this longevity coffin was even bigger than the black coffin I saw in the Eight Immortals Cave.
It is tall and exudes the fragrance of sandalwood. It is estimated to be expensive to build.
A few of us worked together to move the coffin into the car. The old lady of the Xu family was mumbling something unknown while putting the bones of the ancient corpse into the coffin. A few of us looked on.
In the middle of the night, a rickety old lady was picking up the broken bones and rotten meat piece by piece into the coffin. I don’t know how you feel when you see it. Sometimes the meat that is still attached to the bones,
When the old lady of the Xu family moved, she fell to the ground with a snap. In this silent night, the snap spread far and wide...
After a while, the old lady of the Xu family finished sorting the bones. She went into her house and took out a few copper utensils, put them in the coffin, then sprinkled some glutinous rice in the coffin, and then said to us: "Seal the coffin."
, I’m sure our ancestors won’t blame us, this funeral is too simple.”
Me, Rabbit and Zou Yang, the three of us worked together to put the upper lid of the coffin on the coffin. The old lady of the Xu family brought four soul-crushing nails and nailed them to the four corners of the coffin, and then brought another
The needle, wrapped with five-color thread, was nailed to the center of the front of the coffin.
When Mrs. Xu Jiao struck, she broke the needle. I remember my grandpa said that these five colored silk threads represent metal, wood, water, fire and earth, which are the five elements in the world, and the broken needles represent interruption.
, entering the coffin will completely block the five elements from the human world.
After everything was ready, we worked together to drag the coffin to the car. Mr. Xu said that in the past, the tomb of our ancestors should be the tomb. Now that the body has been found, we buried the body in the tomb overnight, so that the ancestors of the Xu family can rest in peace in heaven.
The five of us used flashlights, took shovels and hoes, and pulled the cart, and rushed to the outskirts of Xujia Village to the Xujia Forest. Forest means cemetery.
The rabbit was pulling the cart, and I was walking side by side with the rabbit in front with my hand lantern on. Zou Yang was on the left side of the cart, Su Su was on the right side of the cart, and the old lady of the Xu family was following behind the car. On the way, the old lady of the Xu family was muttering to herself,
I wonder if there are any taboos about transporting the coffin like this.
The moon on the third day of the lunar month was a crescent moon, and there was basically no moonlight. We all relied on the light of the only flashlight for illumination. When we shined the flashlight in front of us, a garden more than three meters appeared. It was further away.
, the lights went out and I couldn’t see clearly.
Although there were only five of us, it was still eerie to be pulling a coffin in this wilderness. From time to time, we could hear the sounds of night owls in the distance, which was an ominous sign.
Rabbit felt that the atmosphere was too heavy. In this depressing atmosphere, people are always prone to overthinking, so Rabbit took the initiative to chat with me.
We were chatting for a while, and suddenly something jumped out in front of the rabbit and I. The rabbit was so frightened that he suddenly stopped the car. I was also startled, and quickly shined a flashlight at it.
We discovered that a pheasant flew past us.
The old lady of the Xu family asked from behind: "Why did you stop?" The rabbit and I looked at each other and smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a pheasant that was frightened by us and flew away." The old lady of the Xu family made a sound and continued urging: "
Let's go quickly, don't delay." Then we continued walking forward.
As I walked, I felt something was wrong. I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was wrong.
I glanced at Rabbit pulling the cart aside, but couldn't find anything unusual. I turned around and looked at Su Su, Zou Yang and the old lady of the Xu family. There was nothing unusual. What was wrong?
I suddenly thought, there are five of us in total, how could there be six footsteps! I suddenly felt embarrassed, it couldn’t be such a coincidence. I comforted myself that I had made a mistake in counting. I calmed down and counted again. The rabbit was next to me, and he
I heard the sound of footsteps most clearly. This is Su Su's footsteps. They are very light. This one belongs to Zou Yang. Well, this belongs to the old lady from the Xu family. The old lady from the Xu family is old and her steps are a bit slow. There is another one, this one.
Whose?
The sound seemed to be behind the old lady of the Xu family, but there was no one behind the old lady of the Xu family. Suddenly, something exploded on top of my head. I wanted to shout loudly at that time: "Old lady of the Xu family, there is something behind you!" But my reason failed.
Stopped me. Logically speaking, the old lady of the Xu family should be able to realize that something is wrong. She is a very powerful goddess. Why can't she realize this?
At this time, Zou Yang seemed to realize something. I turned to look at him and found that he looked behind the old lady of the Xu family from time to time. I knew that this was definitely not my own imagination. Zou Yang had already realized it, but the old lady of the Xu family
What's going on?
After a while, Susu and Rabbit seemed to realize it. The four of us exchanged glances and knew that something was wrong. We all realized that something was following behind us, but the old lady of the Xu family did not react. This can only mean one thing.
Old lady of the Xu family, something happened!
Rabbit cautiously called "grandma", but the old lady of the Xu family did not respond. Susu also called "grandma", but the old lady of the Xu family still did not respond.
At this time, Rabbit stopped the car. The four of us stopped and turned around to look at the old lady of the Xu family. I shined my flashlight on the old lady of the Xu family. At this time, the old lady of the Xu family was walking forward with her head down. She was not far from the car.
, after we parked the car, she seemed not to have seen it, and bumped into the coffin in the car. With a bang, the old lady of the Xu family was bounced back.
Rabbit and Susu were anxious and rushed over to help her. I saw the old lady of the Xu family falling to the ground and shouted: "Don't go, she is not your grandma!"
