Chapter 12, Hanging Coffin, Venerable Shentu
I was shocked by the scene in front of me. What's going on?
How come there is something in my mother's coffin?
Hurry, bring the rooster.
Just as I was stunned, the third man suddenly shouted at me, and my father rushed up and held the coffin tightly with his hands.
I didn't know what happened, but I immediately grabbed a big rooster from my house.
Three men grabbed the rooster in my hand with one hand, without any extra time to react. They suddenly broke the rooster's neck, and then the chicken blood instantly flowed on the coffin. Three men's hands swayed quickly, and a strange rune quickly emerged on the coffin.
When the runes of the San Gong gradually became complete, I saw that the coffin seemed to gradually begin to settle down, and the sound coming from inside began to become weaker.
Until the end, there was no sound.
At this time, the third man jumped off the coffin and wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead. I saw that the third man's face was covered with sweat. The scene just now was extremely thrilling.
Now, when I looked at the coffin in front of me, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Haha, I haven’t figured out what’s going on here yet, and now such a tricky thing has come again.
The third prince smiled helplessly and said to the coffin in front of him.
Then, the third duke looked at my dad and said: Da Yu, prepare for it and hang the coffin.
When I heard the words of the third husband, my father nodded and started to go out to work. While I stood there, I didn't even understand what the hanging coffin was.
When I was about to ask the third uncle, the third uncle asked me to go to the house to get four basins, each of which had to fill half a basin of water.
I don't know what the third master meant to do this, but I still went to the kitchen and prepared all these things.
The third duke placed the basin of my hand in four corners in the main hall. At this time, my dad also came from outside, and he had two more tripod-like things in his hand.
It was made of wood as thick as a calf. My father fixed two tripods into the main hall, and the two tripods and four legs were placed in the four basins respectively.
There are ropes tied to both ends of the upper part of the tripod.
After all this, the third husband and my father went out to carry the coffin.
Two people, in my incredible eyes, my father and my third man actually lifted up a coffin?
If I believe my father's strength, it is normal for me to lift the coffin with another father, but what about my uncle?
Where did the old man who looks thin and even a little sloppy get such a lot of strength?
I have to say that what has happened in the past few days seems to have exceeded my cognition, making my whole nerves unable to ease at all.
He carried the coffin to the bottom of the tripod, and the third man hurriedly asked me to help and put the rope on the coffin.
I can do this. I help put the ropes at both ends. The third husband and my father let go, and the two tripods made a creaking sound.
But it didn't look like it could not bear it. The coffin was hung in the air by two tripods and a piece of wood, and even the four legs of the tripod were in the water basin.
Is it like sleeping in a hanging coffin?
I seem to have seen hanging coffins in my textbook, which means hanging coffins on cliffs, commonly known as hanging coffins.
But to be honest, I have never heard of this kind of hanging coffin before.
At this moment, the third duke asked me to find three small bowls to come over quickly.
I saw the three males pouring lamp oil into a small bowl, rub three more wicks, igniting the three oil lamps, and then putting them on the coffin.
I also know how to light this oil lamp, the soul-sucking lamp, which is something that people must light after death.
But the heart is in the Three Duke lit these three oil lamps on the coffin? What is this saying?
After doing all this, the three men breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me.
My son, let’s give your mother a stick of incense!
Hearing this, I came back to my senses from all the troubles just now. Yes, my mother was in the coffin. I died of dysfunction due to giving birth, but the midwife dived open my mother's stomach and took me out.
Can I blame the midwife? No wonder, can I blame my mother?
No one can blame me, because my mother died and I lived.
And what I hate most in my life is my biological father whom I still don’t know. He is not my father, but in my opinion, he is my enemy.
I walked to the coffin with incense. I had never seen what my mother looked like. I had even had a ridiculous idea. I wanted to open the coffin and see my mother. Even if she turned into a pile of bones, I wanted to see her.
I knelt on the ground with a thud, and I couldn't make any sound from my mouth. I felt my throat choking. This might be something that exists in blood. I have never seen her, but I know she lost her life to give birth to me.
I also knew that after her death, even the coffin was dug out, but I had no choice but to do anything in this place.
Finally, I felt something hot passing through my cheeks, and I quickly inserted the incense into the incense burner and wiped my unscrupulous tears.
Mom, don’t worry, I won’t let that bastard Zhang Tiezhu have a better time.
You have suffered.
After thinking for a long time, all I could say was these two sentences. After I finished speaking, I quickly got up and prepared to go out.
Then, as soon as I reached the door, my dad stopped me.
I'm going to find him.
I knew my dad knew that I was talking about Zhang Tiezhu, but after I finished speaking, my dad grabbed my arm and shook his head at me.
Listen to me.
I don’t know what my dad meant, but I have never seen my dad be so tough on me. The grievance in my heart instantly gushed out.
I feel that at this moment, my dad should help me the most.
But my dad is stopping me now.
Your mother doesn't want to see you like this. My dad said another word, and I feel that this sentence should be considered a very long sentence my dad said. At least I rarely heard him say so much before.
Looking at my dad’s serious eyes, I felt a little calmer in my heart. Is my dad a fool?
Actually, I have lived with him for so long, and I know that my dad knows everything. He doesn’t like to talk, even talks less, and doesn’t like to communicate with others.
good!
I nodded to my dad, then turned around and walked back to the main hall, looking at my mother's coffin in a daze, I kept burning incense to my mother, wanting to make up for something, but I knew that none of this could do anything.
The third duke said halfway through that he went out to see if there was any suitable place and showed it to my mother.
When it was almost dark, the third duke came back. As soon as the third duke got home, the village chief Uncle Ping rushed into our house.
Third Master, it’s not good, the second fool is gone.
As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Ping shouted to our house. Hearing this, the three men stood up from the stool.
What?
After the words came, the third duke rushed out of our house, and I was surprised when I heard this. Is the second fool missing?
What does Uncle Ping mean? Didn’t the second fool be buried on the same day as my grandfather?
But at this time, the third duke had already rushed out with Uncle Ping.
At this time, my dad was watching me.
Go and see, I'm there.
My dad meant to signal me to see what happened to the second fool. He was at home here. I thought about it and rushed out. No matter what, the whole thing seemed to be caused by our family.
The night I forgot to wear my shroud, the second fool died strangely in our house, and the next one was a series of things.
Another thing is Zhang Tiezhu, a bastard, digs my mother's grave. All of these things seem to be in contact with our family.
What's going on in the middle?
When I rushed to the ancestral grave with these doubts, I saw that the graves of the two fools were completely dug out, and there were many people standing around, whispering.
It seems that some old man from another family came to burn incense today and saw it.
I squeezed into the crowd and saw that the lid of the coffin inside was also opened, but the inside of the coffin was empty and there was nothing.
Chapter completed!
