V2.Chapter 119
Hearing what Ouyang xuanzi said, the man on the opposite side got worried and walked back and forth several times. He stopped and asked Ouyang xuanzi, "then I will never see my parents in my life. Can't I go back?"
"That's not true. It can't be made clear in one sentence. Think about it. I'll come here to see you at this time tomorrow. Then you want to go back to your ancestral grave. Besides, I have something to do today. Go back first."
"Are you here for Shen's wife?" The man suddenly said, Ouyang xuanzi looked at him for a while and said, "have you seen them?"
"Yes, but when they were alive." Said the man.
"When you're alive?" There are things Ouyang xuanzi doesn't know, for example, at this time.
The man nodded and said, "I remember one night some time ago, when I heard someone going up the mountain, I came out of the tomb to get some air. By the way, I also saw who was thrown here. As a result, I came out and saw the old couple of the Shen family. I was surprised. What did they do at such a late time? This is a mass grave. Who would come up?
I followed them for a while, and found that they were all carrying tools, one with a bag, the other with a head. They went to the east of the mass grave. The old man began to dig the pit, and the old lady stood watching. I didn't catch what she said. Soon a human skull was thrown out of the soil, and then the old lady covered the skull with a cloth bag, Turn it over, put it in the bag, carry it and go.
I watched from a distance. After the old couple left, a green ghost hand carrying a head followed them.
I had planned to go and have a look. Some people on the mass grave usually played with me and told me not to mind my own business. They said that I couldn't manage this, so they pulled me back.
I haven't seen the old couple of the Shen family since that day. "
After the man said that, I took a look at Ouyang xuanzi. In this way, the old couple of Shen family buried their head in the mass grave.
But after many years, why did the old couple take their heads away?
The moon was dark and the wind was high. The old couple didn't sleep at night. They came to the mass grave and took the skulls away. Did they run into evil or possessed by ghosts?
"Does that ghost with a head have a head?" I asked, thinking that the ghost at Shen Qingqing's door is headless, what's more in my heart.
The man shook his head: "no head, is a headless ghost."
"That's right." I looked at the man and said, "what's right?"
"It's nothing. I'll just say it. You don't care about me. Have you seen that headless ghost since then?" I asked again.
The man thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been here."
"Curious." I said, Ouyang xuanzi said: "this is not strange, once the ghost left a place, it is likely that it will never come back, if it comes back, it will be regarded as a place of sojourn."
"Now, how to find it?" I asked Ouyang xuanzi, and Ouyang xuanzi said, "go back first. There's something else to do tonight. Go back too. I will come tomorrow."
"Don't forget, I'll go back first."
"You wait, leave your name." I said, the man turned and said: "my name is Shen Tianbao, my elder brother Shen Tianhua."
"I see." I agreed to go down, the man turned away, to see the man left, Ouyang xuanzi and I are also busy back to the village head's home, far away to see the village head's door emitting white smoke, inside the bright lights.
What are some people doing at the door one after another? I asked Ouyang xuanzi, "what are those people doing?"
"It's a local custom, commonly known as libation. It's a kind of sacrificial ceremony. The wine is sprinkled on the ground to show the memory of the ancestors. The people who hold the memorial ceremony must be at home, of some social status, and of the middle class. The time is in the evening. The people who hold the memorial ceremony are all descendants. When holding the memorial ceremony, there should be a table of eight immortals, with a mourning shed and the gate facing south, The funeral shed is located in the south of the gate, with incense Pavilion on the table, a wax platform, censer, eight plates and eight fruits, chicken, fish, chopsticks and wine cups. Children, men and women, potted flowers, snow willows and so on should be tied on both sides of the shed. The process of laying wine varies from place to place, but it is only when you kneel down and raise the wine cup from left to right, three times in a row, and kowtow three times. "
"That sounds like a lot of work." I said, Ouyang xuanzi said: "what I said is just a part of it. There are still many things I haven't said. It's really cumbersome."
Ouyang xuanzi said that we had already come to the door, where we were doing what Ouyang xuanzi said. Only one person was laying a drink, and two children were kneeling on the other side to pour the wine. There were village leaders and others inside, and they kowtowed when they worshiped each other, which was very troublesome.
It's been more than ten minutes since I came down alone. I don't think there are many grandchildren. If there are many, they seem to be emperors in ancient times. It will take a few days to finish.
Many onlookers at the door, Ouyang xuanzi and I couldn't get in, so we went to one side and waited. There was also the sound of trumpet blowing inside, which was also very noisy.
Ouyang xuanzi took a steamed bread from his arms to me. I saw that the steamed bread was really hungry, so I took it and ate it. Ouyang xuanzi also ate it. But seeing how elegant he ate, I thought it was too ugly for me.
After eating steamed bread, the talent outside dispersed. We walked in at the door while no one saw us. At this time, Shen Qingqing and Anzi were sitting inside. Shen Qingqing was at a loss. A good little girl was like this.
Anzi is different. He is always energetic. Maybe he has to take care of Shen Qingqing.
Seeing that Ouyang xuanzi and I were busy getting up and walking, Shen Qingqing was overjoyed and came to us. After stopping, Anzi said, "a strange thing happened during the day. The village head's daughter-in-law suddenly burst into tears and cried all afternoon."
"It's OK. The patriarch is dead. She doesn't have to be filial. Let's pick a reason." What Ouyang xuanzi said seemed to be true. After that, he took a look at the village head's daughter-in-law who was having a headache in the room.
"We're going to have a rest tonight. You can tell us something." Ouyang xuanzi went to one side, sat down and patted the place beside him, motioned me to go, so I walked over, sat down and leaned against Ouyang xuanzi.
He patted me and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I saw the patriarch in front of the village head's house again. He stood at the door, looking into the canopy.
This time, the village head got up and went to the door. As a result, when he got to the door, the village head asked, "are you my grandfather?"
The patriarch didn't answer, so he heard the village head say: "when I was a child, you carried me, grandfather, I carried you back."
After that, the village head turned around. He was about 40 years old, and it was not like he was young when he squatted on the ground.
The patriarch at the gate bowed his head and lay on the head of the village.
The village head holds the hands of the clan head and drags them into the yard. I see that they are very heavy, especially the clan head's feet in old shoes. Dragging the ground to see that they can come out of two ditches, the tired village head is panting.
While carrying the patriarch, the village head said: "when I was a child, I let my grandfather carry it. My grandfather sweated so much. I didn't expect to be so tired. I'm not tired when I carry you."
I watched the village head and couldn't help shaking my head to see how filial the grandson was.
Grandfather has become a ghost, he is not afraid, for someone else has already run away, scared to death.
The village head finally carried the clan head to the spirit shed and put it down. The village head said, "grandfather, go back. Your granddaughter-in-law is not in good health. You have to toss and toss me."
The patriarch stood there and didn't move. He looked around and looked at me for a while.
I asked Ouyang xuanzi strangely, "isn't this patriarch blind?"
"A man is blind when he lives, but he can see when he dies."
"I see. I don't think he can see me." When I spoke, the patriarch had looked at the village head, laughed and got into the coffin.
The village head suddenly sobbed and cried, as if he would never see his grandfather again. It was very sad to cry. I saw the village head cry, and I woke up with a stirring dream.
When I woke up, I saw the village head leaning on the coffin sobbing. In fact, the village head was dreaming. This happened in the dream, so he was dreaming and crying.
When the village head's family saw that the village head was crying, it was probably because of the daytime. They came out to call the village head. The village head could not wake up, and leaned against the coffin to cry.
It's pitiful to see the village head sobbing and can't wake up, so I said to Ouyang xuanzi, "don't look at it. You tell him to wake up."
Ouyang xuanzi got up and stood up. She went to the village head and asked someone to bring out a bowl of water. She put her hand in it and flicked some water on the village head's face. The village head woke up like me. He opened his eyes and cried even more. A big man held the coffin and cried out to his grandfather. It was a sad cry. I was a little sad to see.
When I think of my master's death, I want to cry, but I can't.
With a sigh, I went to another place. Looking at the village head crying, I started to feel sad. This village head is really
I was watching, Ouyang xuanzi came over and hugged me in her arms: "does hong'er think of sad things?"
I shook my head: "it's not sad. It's gone."
I said push away Ouyang xuanzi, we looked at each other, I said: "this is the night?"
"That's what happened to the village head's house tonight." Ouyang xuanzi's words have other meanings. I look at Shen Qingqing and Anzi opposite. They are all looking at the village head, but they don't pay attention to us.
But at this time, I took a look at the gate. There was a small child standing at the gate. I saw that the child was familiar, as if I had seen him anywhere. But subconsciously, I thought of headless ghost, so I took a closer look, and it turned out that he was headless ghost.
The headless ghost stands at the door and looks at the yard. Its head is in the hand and its body is stiff, but the head in the hand is not stiff. I look at the headless ghost's head. The eyes of the headless ghost's head are looking for something. After looking for a while, I show a strange smile.
I followed the headless ghost's eyes and fell on Shen Qingqing.
