Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 40
"That's right. Call the soul from there last night!" I answered, and my father was silent for a long while before asking again, "That Manshui Bridge is very evil. Try to avoid going there in the future!"

As soon as I heard this, I felt excited, "Father, please explain clearly, what kind of evil is that Manshui Bridge!"

My father hesitated for a moment, but he still told me, "The Manshui bridge is the only way for several villages on our side to go to the grave. In addition, there have been a few people drowned under the Manshui bridge before." Human life, there is usually nothing wrong with that place, but there is a wedding or funeral, the car arrives there, the car stops, the animals arrive there, and the animals stop. If you don’t offer a few sticks of incense, pay your respects, I guarantee you won’t be able to pass! "

"You are prone to trouble, so, try not to go to that kind of place in the future, it's evil!" the old man ordered, and hurriedly turned around and went to Li's house.
I froze there, thinking about what my father said, is the Manshui Bridge really as evil as he said?I didn't encounter anything with my evil life last night!

I remember what my father said, but there is another sentence from my father that reminded me of something. When my father heard me talking about calling the soul, he almost didn’t respond. Look at the meaning. Dad should know that grandma knows something about this, but why? In the past 20 years, I have never heard of it!
At this time, my brain suddenly became hot, and I remembered a big event. I threw the package that the old cripple gave me in the car. I was busy, but I forgot. The things given by the old cripple are still inside, I have to go to my father to ask, if it is gone, something big will happen.

I hurried to Li's house to ask what grandma was talking about. The elders in this village know some rules that the younger generations don't. If something happens to you, you have to talk about it.

I hurriedly pulled my father aside, "Dad, do you still remember the package I put in the car? Where is it? Hurry up and give it to me!"

When the old man heard it, "Package. Didn't I give it to your grandma? Didn't your grandma tell you?"

"No!"

I froze for a moment, grandma took the package, but didn't even say a word to me.Dad smiled, "It's okay, maybe I've been so busy these days that I forgot, your grandma is not too young, and she gets confused when she's too busy. You can ask her again when you have time!"

I saw that my grandma was busy, and I didn't have the nerve to ask. I can't run around on the last day of the funeral, so I have to stay here at Li's house. At this time, that idiot, Chen Hanbiao, waved at me from afar. , motioned for me to go over, and I was bored, so I went over.

That idiot huddled by the fire and warmed himself by the fire. When he saw me coming, he asked me, "Jiu Jiner, what happened to you last night? I told you not to stop you and you pushed me. Really, I don't know." I don't want to talk about you!"

I just want to scold people for what this idiot said. Without you, would I have been slapped in the face last night?

I can just think about it in my heart, it doesn't sound good to say it, saying that I went to summon the soul last night, I guess this guy will have to ask me for a long time again, I said a few perfunctory words, and Chen Hanbiao hurt again He said a few words to me, which made me feel unhappy. After a few words, this idiot is fine again, so he doesn't hold grudges.

But I thought in my heart, the old lady Li I watched clearly last night, why this idiot didn't look at me, I have been wondering about this.

After noon, the sky was still gloomy. The winter weather in the north is already dry and cold, coupled with the cool north wind, my cat is next to the big cooking pot. Nothing to do with me.

After lunch, the sky actually started to snow, and the patter of little snowflakes covered the entire yard of the Li family with a layer of white in a short while. At this time, grandma walked out of the main hall , raised his head to look up to the sky, his face was very calm, but when I saw it, there was always an indescribable feeling.

There are rules for mourning and mourning. When the time comes, it should be the time for mourning. At one o'clock in the noon, that is, it is time to wake up. In the main room, I looked at the lipstick coffin and suddenly felt like It's like being in the old house again.

The eldest son of the Li family picked up the funeral bowl, which is also called the auspicious bowl, and when he dropped the funeral bowl, he threw out the family's frustration, and also comforted the old man that his children and grandchildren would not be able to be filial in the future, so he let the bowl go with him.

There are two bricks at the door, the eldest son of the Li family picked up the mourning basin and slammed it against the bricks. With a bang, I stared at the basin in a daze. There's no reason why a crock pot can't be broken.

I subconsciously fell in love with grandma. Grandma was looking at the basin, her eyes changed instantly. There are rules for throwing funeral basins. A broken basin represents auspiciousness, but it is very taboo to break it. There is also, This mourning basin is indistinguishable, and it cannot be dropped a second time if it is not broken once.

The eldest son of the Li family saw that the basin was not broken, and bent down to pick it up and throw it heavily. Grandma immediately shouted, "Don't touch the basin, or the coffin bearer will crush it if it doesn't break. Okay, time It's time to go!"

"Awakening," the person in charge yelled in front of him, and the sound of crackling firecrackers became one thing. The eight big men behind gritted their teeth and lifted up the big red coffin. It was obvious that the big red coffin was extremely heavy. Very well, Mrs. Li is more than 80 years old, which can be considered a long life. This matter was originally regarded as a joyous funeral, and it was right to use a red coffin.

With a sound of blowing, blowing, and beating, the coffin was lifted up. The eldest son held the banner of calling for souls, and the second son held the photo of Mrs. Li, paper figurines, paper horses, wreaths, etc. coffin, the mourners burst into tears, some real and some false, just like me, I didn’t have a good impression of Mrs. Li, I just remembered the slap she slapped me, but I had to pretend to cry a few tears.

The coffin bearer passed by the pot and stepped on it with a bang, and the pot shattered to the ground. With the sound, my heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable feeling came over me.

The mighty funeral procession was walking towards the grave of Li Jiazu in the village. I turned my head and glanced at grandma. Grandma was looking at the big red coffin with a gloomy face like the sky at this time. I feel that today’s incident. Not a good sign.

From the time of the funeral to the time when I left the alley, I never saw my grandfather show his face. The sky was getting darker and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. As soon as we left the alley, white snowflakes fell from the sky like goose feathers. Yes, and with the wind, I couldn't keep my eyes open.

I followed the funeral procession closely, and for some reason, I was always worried. Although I knew that the funeral was not very peaceful, the feeling of fear in my heart was surprisingly heavy, even more so than when I was buried there alone. He was great when he was on the post.

After walking for more than half an hour, I watched the funeral procession arrive at the Manshui Bridge. At this time, the whole bridge was covered in white snow. In the past, I hope all the ways will be convenient!"

There were some sacrifices, white candles, and incense stands on the table. The leader lit three sticks of incense, bent down and bowed three times, and then burned some paper money in front of the table, and when the paper money was lit, I watched as a gust of wind swirled across the bridge, and as soon as the paper money blew around the place, a burst of paper dust mixed with white snow floated into the sky.

I looked up at the paper money floating up, and it felt like the world was not snow, but a pile of paper money.At this moment, I looked up at the sky. I felt as if my whole heart was being pulled. Looking at the sky from afar, a thick cloud was drifting towards me. This day...is about to change. .

Not only did I feel something was wrong, everyone present felt the dullness of this atmosphere, this environment, this atmosphere, plus this gray cloudy sky, I am not a fool. Feel it.
