dead child, ghost carrying coffin

As soon as Hua Jiunan and the others arrived at the gate of Yizhuang, they saw a group of men in white clothes carrying the coffin from a distance.

According to the rules of China: the dead are the oldest.

Several people immediately stepped aside, letting the person who gave up the "moral affairs" go first.

As soon as the coffin arrived at the gate of Yizhuang, the gate opened slowly.

Granny Zhao, the "corpse keeper" guarding Yizhuang, walked out with a stooped figure.

At the same time, he sprinkled the paper money in his hand on the coffin that was brought in.

"East and West Lords, South and North Ministers, the Quartet is back to pick up newcomers."

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, don't miss Qingshi Road in your hometown."

After some actions, the family members of the deceased cried and handed Granny Zhao a few dollars.

"Mother-in-law, my grandfather will leave you to grow old."

"After... the day after tomorrow the county crematorium will come to pick him up."

Granny Zhao nodded deeply.

"You can go back at ease."

"Hey, speaking of which, your grandfather is two years younger than me, why did he leave in such a hurry..."

After crying again, the family members of the deceased left reluctantly.

It was also at this time that Granny Zhao had time to pay attention to Hua Jiunan and the others.

"You guys, old man Liu said he would come to 'check things' tonight?!"

(Note: Investigating the affairs of dead people and ghosts is called "chashi" in the folks of the northern country.)

Hua Jiu couldn't accept the gift. Hearing this, he hurried forward a few steps and handed over the letter from Shopkeeper Liu.

"Grandma Zhao, Grandpa Liu's explanations are all in the letter."

After Granny Zhao finished reading, the dissatisfaction on her face was much less, and she even squeezed out a little smile.

"No wonder you dare to come here at such a young age. It turns out that he is the grandson of the deaf old lady."

"No wonder, no wonder!"

"But this bowl of rice is not delicious!"

"Be careful, be careful!"

As she spoke, Granny Zhao took out a large handful of incense and lit it, walking around all the coffins in the house and muttering.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the younger generation in the family will borrow a place to do something tonight."

"If someone disturbs you, don't be angry if the old lady has served you for so many years."

As she spoke, Granny Zhao walked to the coffin that had just been brought in.

"Especially you old man Ma!"

"I have a bad temper when I'm alive, but I have to change it when I'm dead!"

"In this world of yin and yang, no one is spoiling you. Don't wait to complain to the old woman when you suffer a loss!"

After Granny Zhao finished speaking, she put the whole handful of incense into the bowl in front of the coffin, and then bowed three more times.

There was a sudden bang from inside the coffin, and I don't know if it was a response.

After doing all this, Granny Zhao is still a little worried about Hua Jiunan and the others.

Take the trouble to explain other considerations:

For example, these "residents" in Yizhuang, each "person"'s temper and preferences;

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, burn incense for them and "open the meal" on time, and then open the door to let the "residents" go out for a walk to dissipate their grievances.

A special reminder is that they must close the door in time after they go out to prevent lonely ghosts from coming in and occupying their bodies.

Wait until Yinshi to open the door and let the "residents" in.

With humility and benevolence, Hua Jiunan recorded everything on the paper, saying that he would never forget it.

Granny Zhao looked at his seriousness with appreciation in her eyes.

Then he returned home with confidence on crutches.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, it was difficult for Hua Jiu to take out the tribute prepared by several people in advance:

There are all kinds of pork head meat, pig trotters, pig ears, twists, peanuts, melon seeds, etc.

There were even a dozen bottles of spirits.

Together with Chen Daji and Zhang Chao, they were placed in front of each coffin one by one according to the individual "personal" preferences explained by Granny Zhao.

"Seniors, after the elders of the younger generation came to the treasure land, there was no news from them."

"I have no choice but to come here for a visit. If there is any disrespect, please return Haihan!"

After finishing speaking, Hua Jiunan took Chen Daji and Zhang Chao to circle around all the coffins and clasped their fists.

It was only at this time that he had time to observe the entire Yizhuang.

The inside is very large, and there are various coffins everywhere.

Some of the old ones have been discolored and rotted, with big holes in the corners, and the white bones inside can be vaguely seen.

Bursts of corrupt and stale aura floated out, making this place even weirder.

There is an incense table in the middle of Yizhuang, and there are densely packed tablets on the incense table.

There is a coffin board under the incense table, which is obviously a place for the "corpse guard" to rest.
