I saw that Liu Sanbo on the coffin lid did not move and only turned his head. My heart trembled suddenly, but I did not dodge, but still followed the funeral procession cautiously, trying my best to pretend that I could not see him...
Because I was still some distance away from the funeral procession, I couldn't see Liu Sanbo's expression clearly, but I could see that his face was pale, as if it had been smeared with white powder.
After a few minutes, his head slowly turned back. I took a deep breath and finally got over it.
But I have another question in my mind: is the half-body Liu Sanbo on the coffin lid the same person as the Liu Sanbo Yan Shiting and I saw before?
If it is really the same person, then who is in the coffin?
"Why do you want him to see you?" Lao Yutou suddenly asked.
"Sanbo must have some purpose for following the funeral procession. If I deliberately avoid him, we may not be able to see what happens to the funeral procession later. It's better to be generous and let him think that we can't see it like everyone else.
Get to him so that he won't be defensive."
"Well, it makes sense, then it's up to you!"
The third aunt's mourning continued. Old Yutou and I followed the team all the way to an open space in the north of the village. However, the further we walked, the stranger I felt.
"What's wrong? Why do I see something wrong with your expression?" Lao Yutou asked.
"The Liujiacun cemetery is not in this direction at all. I don't know where they are going with the coffin!"
Ten minutes later, the funeral procession arrived at a pond in the north of Liujia Village. I remember that when I was a child, it was originally a fish pond. Later, it was abandoned and became a pond. However, in my impression, although it had been abandoned for a long time,
, the water in the pond is still very clear.
Why did they move the coffin here?
"The blessed land has arrived, the coffin is lowered!"
The goddess standing by the pond suddenly shouted, and then someone spread a layer of white cloth on the ground. The coffin bearers slowly placed the coffin on the white cloth. If the coffin does not touch the soil, it will not be considered to have landed. This is what we
The culture of the village.
At the same time, the third aunt also stopped crying. She walked staggeringly to the goddess and said in awe:
"Goddess, is it really possible to sink San'er's coffin into the water? We don't have such rules in this small place?"
Maybe she had been crying for too long, and the third aunt's voice was very hoarse and uncomfortable to listen to. However, this really confirmed my previous thoughts. The goddess really wanted to sink the coffin to the bottom.
I subconsciously looked at Liu Sanbo on the coffin lid. At this time, his head turned slightly, and he looked down at the goddess and third aunt by the water with no expression...
The goddess glanced at the third aunt,
"Hmph, there wasn't such a rule before, but now it is! Liu San'er has been missing for many days, but someone saw him in the village today. I guess it must be his wronged soul. If this coffin is not buried in time,
At the end of the day, I’m afraid we’re going to be in big trouble!”
"But what if it's really San'er himself? Should we find him first?" San'er said.
"Find him? I think you think you are tired of living because of your age!"
The third aunt's body trembled obviously when the goddess said this. The goddess sneered and took out a long black banner cloth from her pocket.
"I hung this banner at the door of your yard before. It has the effect of exorcising evil spirits. It was originally white, but now it has turned black. This means that something unclean has been in your house tonight. You
Think about it, what else could it be besides Liu San'er's wronged soul?"
Third Aunt wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Liu Laoguai on the side.
"Okay, don't say any more. I specially invited the goddess from the county. She has real skills and will not make mistakes."
The third aunt shook her head and sighed:
"Hey...if only Goddess Liu was here..."
"shut up!!!"
The goddess suddenly gritted her teeth and said:
"I'm afraid Mrs. Liu is just a dead body now. Why mention her? If she is really capable, she won't be like the Clay Bodhisattva crossing the river and unable to save herself!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence.
And I was trembling with anger. The Goddess Liu they were talking about was Aunt Liu. This stinky old woman actually slandered Aunt Liu behind her back. It was really hateful!
"Okay, okay, it's important to do business, don't waste any more time." Liu Laoguai said.
The goddess stopped talking. After snorting coldly, she opened her arms and hunched her back to face the pond. She began to mutter something unknown. After a moment, she suddenly turned around and said to everyone:
"The time has come to sink the coffin!"
When Liu Laoguai heard this, he immediately called to several other young people to prepare to lift the coffin again!
When the others put the dragon pole on their shoulders, Liu Laoguai shouted,
"Coffin lifting!!!"
"Um!"
"Hey!"
Immediately afterwards, several people made loud noises at the same time, but the strange thing was that the coffin did not move at all!
“Come again!!!”
Liu Laoguai shouted loudly, and everyone tried their best to lift the coffin again, but the result was that the coffin remained motionless.
Everyone seemed to have realized something, and they all backed away in horror, staring at the goddess with big eyes and small eyes.
Hiding in the reeds, I could see clearly that the reason they couldn't lift the coffin was because Liu Sanbo on the coffin lid was pressing the coffin with both hands, and his pale face had already revealed a fierce look.
I was about to get up, but I was pulled back by Lao Yutou, who had already turned into a human form and was hiding next to me.
"Don't be anxious. Let's take a look. The goddess should have some tricks. It's not your turn to take action yet!"
On the river bank, the goddess also noticed something was wrong. She walked around the coffin a few times, then suddenly raised her head and looked at the coffin lid, shouted loudly, and said:
"What a good Liu San'er! I was worried that I couldn't find you, but you showed up at my door yourself!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the goddess quickly took out a bunch of straw men from her wide cuffs and inserted a thin needle into the straw man's chest!
"ah!"
Liu Sanbo who was on the coffin lid suddenly screamed, half of his body shook three times and almost fell off!
Everyone suddenly heard the screams around them, but they didn't know who made it. They were all frightened and ran away. Only the third aunt stood there and cried:
"It's San'er's voice! He's really back!"
Seeing this, the goddess on the side quickly took out a willow branch and wrapped it around the neck of the straw man and strangled it hard. Liu Sanbo seemed to be sucked by something, and instantly disappeared into the straw man in the hands of the goddess...
