When I saw it, I didn't know what to do or what to say for a while. When my grandfather followed me in: "After you went out, I went to the back field to look, and when I came back, I saw that she had hanged herself. I couldn't think about it. I couldn't think about it.| .|"
Grandpa looked very sad, usually he didn't cry at all, but now he was teary.
I was so heartbroken, I didn't know whether to comfort Grandpa or go to see Grandma.
Seeing that I looked dull, Meng Changqing pulled me out, and then said: "You can't look at the dead body, wait until the body is collected."
He pulled me to stand in the main room, walked in by himself and talked to grandpa lamely.
After persuading for a while, grandpa informed everyone in a rural way that the death is the top priority. All the villagers put down their work and rushed to my house, and then divided into two groups, one group started to circle my grandpa and the other group started to help grandma The funeral and coffin were prepared.
Rural elderly people will prepare coffins in advance when they reach a certain age, and now they can be used just by lifting them out and wiping them.
While they were preparing these, Meng Changqing quietly patted my shoulder and asked me to go out with him.
When we got to a relatively quiet place, he looked at me and said earnestly, "That's why I asked you to practice sexuality. Life and death depend on fate, wealth and honor depend on heaven, and people cannot be resurrected after death. I hope you can understand this truth."
I hesitated for a while and then nodded.
He then said: "I want to tell you one thing, you must remain absolutely calm after listening, if you lose your mind, I will lose you as an apprentice."
I nodded again, choked up and said, "Go ahead."
"Your grandma didn't commit suicide, it was homicide!" Meng Changqing said solemnly, "The cervical spine of a person who commits suicide will be pulled apart or even broken, but your grandma didn't. She was strangled first and then hung up."
This time I was really confused. I thought grandma committed suicide because she couldn't bear to eat ashes.
"who is it?"
"I've locked in two candidates, but if I want to be sure, I'm still close."
"What's wrong?"
"Your grandma was killed, more or less there will be some resentment, if I use the soul nourishing technique to turn your grandma into a resentful ghost, then your grandma will naturally go to the person who killed him, although this method is extremely simple , but..." Meng Changqing paused at this point.
Seeing that he stopped very early, I hurriedly urged him to say more.
"If the person your grandma finds out is your grandpa, how will you deal with yourself?"
After hearing Meng Changqing's words, I couldn't even say it was impossible. Grandpa and grandma have a very good relationship. On weekdays, grandma has a backache or something. Grandpa is reluctant to let grandma go to work or cook. Although I beat grandma last time, But that happened when he was fainted, and it cannot be generalized at all.
Seeing ten thousand disbeliefs in my eyes, Meng Changqing didn't say anything but sighed: "It's not the best."
Afterwards, Meng Changqing found some straw nearby and tied a scarecrow, and then inserted the scarecrow under a mulberry tree.
After inserting it, I asked me to find something from my grandmother's life and put it on the scarecrow, and then I got a few red strings and tied it to the scarecrow.
After everything was ready, Meng Changqing raised his fingers and said: "Miaomiaoming, those who disperse become Qi, and those who gather become spirits. Sang Linglang, Sang Linglang, was born beside the ancient road in the wilderness. I invite you to be a general, Avoid the wind and frost in the countryside. Four o'clock and eight festivals worship you, and you taste the fragrant soup every day. The yin and yang are magnificent, the sun rises in the east, and when the ax is broken, you will leave this place early. I obey, the old master is as anxious as a law. "
After finishing the reading, I stood up straight and made a salute, and then asked me to go to the room to get some sandalwood and stick it in front of me.
After I agreed, Meng Changqing asked me to go back to the room, and he stayed here by himself.
The date of grandma's burial was chosen by Meng Changqing, and it was chosen four days later. During these four days, we kept vigil every night. Did Meng Changqing perform rituals in front of the coffin?
On the third night, Meng Changqing asked me to secretly take an ax out of the house. After reaching under the mulberry tree, Meng Changqing said a few words, then swung the ax to cut off the scarecrow.
After we cut it off, we went back to the house. When we got back to the house, we just saw grandma slowly sitting up from the coffin.
The night watchmen here didn't see it, because grandma is a newly formed ghost and has no body, so only people with low fire can see it.
During the whole scene, only Meng Changqing and I kept staring at grandma.
Grandma stood in the lobby for a while, looked around and left.
Grandpa is not here now, it seems that he has gone to Grandpa Ye's house to get something, and grandma is going in the direction of Grandpa Ye's house.
Meng Changqing said that there are hundreds of types of ghosts, such as resentful ghosts and evil ghosts. Resentful ghosts only want to seek revenge from those who have grudges against them, and will not harm other people. Grandma belongs to this kind of ghost.
When we saw grandma go out, we found any reason and followed.
Grandma walked slowly all the way, and finally stopped by the side of grandpa's house, but refused to go in.
When I saw grandma stop here, I was puzzled, wondering if it was really grandpa?
Just as he was thinking, grandpa came out of Grandpa Ye's house with a handful of sandalwood. Grandma's face became a little sad when she saw grandpa coming out. She continued walking after Grandpa disappeared at the intersection.
I breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't my grandfather, Meng Changqing obviously also breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, I followed all the way, and saw my grandma go straight to the door of Hu Haiyan. Seeing that the door was closed, I went to the window to look.
Meng Changqing and I waited outside until Hu Haiyan screamed inside, then Meng Changqing got up and kicked the door of her house away, and then walked in seriously.
After entering, Meng Changqing held up his fingers and read, and grandma stood still. Then he walked up to Hu Haiyan and asked with a serious face, "Tell me, why did you kill her old man?"
Hu Haiyan was frightened by her grandma just now, and a smell of urine came from her, which looked a little disgusting.
Seeing that grandma was still standing here, Hu Haiyan didn't dare to lie, so she told the truth.
It turned out that Hu Haiyan and Uncle Zhang really had an affair, and she accidentally became pregnant some time ago. When discussing abortion, she was caught by her grandma by accident. Afterwards, she and Uncle Zhang tried to curry favor with grandma. Uncle Zhang gave grandma the packet of leopard bone powder is one of them.
They thought that grandma had been bribed, but a few days ago they found out that Uncle Zhang gave grandma the ashes, and they felt uneasy again. They were afraid that grandma would tell about them, so she went to discuss with grandma when grandma was alone at home.
A dispute arose during the discussion, so she strangled her grandma to death, and then faked the scene of hanging herself. As for how the leopard bone powder turned into ashes, she didn't understand.
After hearing this, Meng Changqing's face gradually became gloomy, and the eyes he looked at Hu Haiyan became extremely terrifying. After staring at her for a few times, he clenched his fists, stepped forward and pulled Hu Haiyan out of the bed, and made another room He slapped her twice with one hand.
"If I had met you when I was twenty, I would have beat you to death."
After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he threw Hu Haiyan to the ground, and then chanted a mantra to save her grandma.
Meng Changqing then ran to Uncle Ye's house to call the police, said a few words to the people inside and hung up the phone, then returned to the mourning hall, and started to prepare for the burial the next day.
He didn't tell the villagers about it right away, he wanted to talk about it after grandma was properly buried, so as not to disturb the atmosphere of the mourning hall.
During the days when Meng Changqing was here, his grandparents completely regarded them as his own family. Meng Changqing said to me more than once: "Your grandparents are too warm. They are served like this. How can you be willing to leave after a while?"
Grandma passed away, not only my grandpa and I were sad, Meng Changqing was also sad, he was a cold-hearted person, no matter what kind of feelings, he buried in his heart and refused to speak out, but from his behavior, he could see that he loved her. Out of anger, I've never seen him so angry at an ordinary person before.
Tonight is the last day of the vigil. The parents were too far away to come back in time, and grandpa didn't allow them to come back. When they called at Grandpa Ye's house, as soon as they brought them back, grandpa would yell at them and say no. Recognize my parents.
Most of the people in the village are here at night, and they will also send grandma up the mountain with them tomorrow morning.
After watching until midnight, everyone was sleepy and had finished speaking, so they all sat and kept silent.
At one o'clock in the morning, the cows below the village suddenly mooed, and then made various strange sounds, which sounded extremely shrill.
I felt very sad when I heard that, most likely this cow also knew that grandma had passed away, and wanted to use this method to see grandma off.
Everyone in the village lamented the humanity of this bull, and Meng Changqing nodded in agreement.
After a while, Meng Changqing told me: "If a person is reincarnated after death, a new life will be born at the same time as the person is reincarnated. This is the theory of reincarnation."
"When does a person reincarnate after death?"
"If she has no obsessions, it should be seven days later."
I nodded and secretly wrote down the name.
