marry a ghost

Wei Shi's first reaction when he saw the note was: This dog-like character is so ugly!Sure enough, people should be sent to school for a few more years.

Then, Wei Shi pulled his face down.

While calling brother, while shouting "don't care about me" like a rebellious sophomore boy, do you think I want to care about you?It's not because you and I came out of a mother's belly, or you died in front of me, and I promise I won't bother to look up.

Damn, do you think I'm willing to take care of you when I have time?Love to fuck these hollows?

The bear child is itchy and needs to be beaten.

Wei Shi looked up at Wei Xin coldly, "What do you mean?"

He held the piece of paper between his fingers, and flicked the paper with his other hand, making a slight crisp sound.

Wei Xin didn't know if he was aware of current affairs or what, anyway, he didn't lick his beard at this time. He stood quietly in the room, staring at Wei Shi. What Wei Shi didn't want to admit was, In fact, it was he who had been staring at Wei Xin, and Wei Xin's dark eyes blended with the surrounding darkness, it was hard for you to tell whether he was looking at people, or looking at some void... …

Wei Shi didn't know either.

In the end, it was Wei Shi who took a step back, "You can do whatever you want, but you have to tell me about your future plans." Wei Shi turned and walked to the door, holding the doorknob with his hand, turning his back and He said, "When we come out to eat together later, we can lock ourselves in the house every day, and we won't be afraid of mold."

Wei Shi went out, took several deep breaths, and then walked outside slowly.

The custom here is that as long as a person dies, a coffin will be erected, but only after the coffin is actually sealed will the Taoist team be invited to do the dojo, and the dojo will be held for three to five or seven days, and the coffin will be sent up the mountain. Finished.

And sealing the coffin is also particular. For example, an old man passed away. Before he died, he said that he wanted to see his son and daughter working in other places and other descendants. Then, the old man's body would be cleaned first, put on a shroud, and placed Enter the coffin, and the coffin lid is half closed, leaving a face covered with a white cloth, and the coffin will not be sealed until after seeing the descendants.For another example, if a person died violently, before sealing the coffin, a Taoist priest should be invited to perform a small ritual to dissipate the resentment from the deceased, so as not to be unable to reincarnate after death.For another example, if a dead person is burned to a handful of ashes, or if the body is incomplete, then a small ceremony must be performed before the coffin is sealed, and the rituals performed are different in different situations.

Wei Shi has always felt that being a Taoist teacher is not an easy task.There are a lot of things to pay attention to.

After the Wei family's coffin had been set up for half a month, the city issued a notice for someone from their family to take Wei Jincheng's ashes home.Second Aunt Wei is a rural woman who has never been out of the house. Wei Wei is also Wei Shi's cousin who is not yet an adult, so whether he wants to or not, as long as Wei Shi doesn't intend to tear his face and tell the story, then he must help. of.

Wei Shi didn't mind helping out.

People are dead, what else is there to say.Besides, he also wants to go back to the city to do some business of his own. He really intends not to go back to work in the city but to open a small clinic in Weizhuang. Before that, he has to convince his uncle Cheng Bin first. , In the past few days, he also called his uncle several times to discuss this matter, but his uncle firmly disagreed. Seeing his insistence on going his own way, he changed his words and said that he should explain it to him face to face.

Wei Shi also understood that his uncle was doing it for his own good.

Wei Chengbin thinks so, his nephew finally graduated from school and found a good job, even if there is a problem in the work unit, he can still change his nephew to a place that is not worse than the third hospital and continue to work. For him, it is not a difficult task.Now, a good college graduate is crying and shouting to go back to a rural place like Weizhuang. Do you think you are responding to the call of the country to return to your hometown to support the construction of your hometown?Brainwashed and stupid!Wei Chengbin will definitely not agree. How much money can a village clinic make a month?Is it enough to live, is it enough to support a family?Young people are easy to get hotheaded and don't think about the consequences at all.

Wei Shi is sitting in front of his uncle now.

Wei Chengbin looked at him sullenly, "Tell me, what is the reason?"

Wei Shi didn't dare to smile any more at this time, he briefly talked about Wei Xin's matter and Wei's mother's strange illness, "Uncle, I plan to go back to Weizhuang to work for two years, and by the way, I will also watch Wei Xin return to work. With my mother, otherwise I don't worry."

After hearing his explanation, Wei Chengbin finally looked better, "Axin's matter really needs to be taken care of, but, your mother..." Wei Chengbin hesitated a little, he seemed to think for a while before continuing , "You don't have to worry too much about your mother's current situation. I think it has something to do with heredity. Your grandmother was also like this. It looked serious. After a while, she recovered and relapsed. Your grandmother's mother also It's the same with your grandparents, your grandma left early, and I didn't think of it before..."

Uncle, I'm even more worried after hearing what you said!Wei Shi howled in his heart, "Go early"? !That's not enough to worry about!

Probably because the expression on Wei Shi's face was too obvious, Wei Chengbin explained, "Your grandmother didn't die of illness, it was an accident."

Wei Shi asked, "What about my grandparents?"

Wei Chengbin frowned, "I don't know either."

The two of them couldn't agree to go together. Under Wei Shi's insistence, Wei Chengbin still couldn't change his mind in the end. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly. It can emit light and heat, so there is no need to worry about being buried.Wei Shi also felt a lot of pressure to be so coquettish and cute at a very old age. However, Wei Chengbin watched him grow up, so he did what he did. After being told by him, his complexion gradually became better. a little.

In the end, the nephew and uncle finally reconciled.

Wei Shi took Wei Jincheng's urn back to Wei Zhuang, and Wei Yi knelt under the big pagoda tree in Wei Zhuang, dressed in linen and filial piety. Behind him was a team of Taoists invited from Wangxiang Village, Ci'en Town next door. The Taoist at the head The master is called Mr. Dong, with a yellow skin and a thin face. He is wearing a Taoist uniform that has been washed white and patched with inconspicuous patches. His eyes are more white than black, and he likes to look at people from the corners of his eyes, so he looks very mean. It looks like you have no luck or life.

Generally, people in Wei Zhuang invite this Taoist team for any trivial matters.

It's not that there are other Taoist groups in these ten miles and eight townships, but if people from Wei Zhuang invite them, they will generally not be willing to come to the door. Only the Taoist group of Mr. Dong is willing to take over Wei Zhuang's business. As time goes by, Wei Zhuang If there is anything wrong with the people in the office, they can simply go to Mr. Dong directly.As for why the other Taoist groups were unwilling to accept Wei Zhuang's business, there was no explanation. Later, a Taoist group said that it was probably because Wei Zhuang's earthly spirit didn't suit them, and it was useless to go, maybe There will be accidents.

This is also an explanation that is not an explanation.

Wei Jie knelt down and kowtowed three times to the urn, while Dong Lao led the Taoist team to play and beat, muttering words, while Wei Shi stood still holding the urn.

Elder Dong held a bamboo stick with talismans drawn on white paper in his hand, and circled Wei Shi. After walking a few steps, he came on tiptoe, rushed up, and shouted.

"Death turns to ashes... don't ask ghosts and gods... posterity kneels to welcome... ancestors return..."

The sharp voice broke through the sweltering heat in the afternoon. Under the big locust tree, people shivered a few times, and goosebumps appeared all over their bodies. Wei Shi even felt that there was a cold wind blowing under his feet for a moment.

Elder Dong finished the ritual first, and headed towards Wei Shi's house.

Wei Shi followed closely behind with the urn in his hand, while his cousin Wei Wei had to work harder. He had to get ahead of the group and knelt down to greet Mr. Dong every time he stopped to chant sutras.The young man, with a blank face, knelt there with his head bowed. When people around him asked him to kneel, he would kneel, and if they asked him to stand up, he would stand up, as if he had lost his soul.

Wei Shi looked at him with a complicated expression.

When the urn was finally brought home, Elder Dong continued to seal the coffin.

Wei Shi put the long white cloth tied on the arm. They called it "tug head", and it was usually given to relatives by the deceased's family. The closer the relatives were, the longer the "drag head" cloth was. The "drag head" cloth should go all the way to the heel, and neighbors and friends will distribute a one-foot-long cloth, which can be tied on the arm when they come to worship or help. Wei Shi did not put the "drag head" like the relatives in the house. Worn on the head, it is tied on the arm instead.

He glanced at the main room, but he didn't find Wei Xin, nor did he see Wei's mother, so he went to look in their room, and Wei's mother stayed in the house very well, as if she had never gone out. Everyone in Weizhuang knew Wei My mother is sick and has a weird personality, so I didn't come to bother her. Uncle Wei's side was noisy, but Wei Shi's house was quiet. Occasionally, a few people came over and left immediately after taking their things.

Wei Shi searched the yard and his second uncle's house, and asked a few more people, but he still couldn't find Wei Xin. He was a little anxious, so he hurried out to look for it. He asked someone when he met him, and finally found out from a child. Wei Xin's whereabouts, this kid went to the back mountain early in the morning, just before dawn, and he didn't know what to do there.

Wei Shi was surrounded by mountains on three sides, but only the mountain directly opposite the old pagoda tree in Weizhuang was called the back mountain.The place where Weizhuang is located is a hilly area, and the mountains are connected with mountains, high and low, ups and downs, and the mountains are not high or steep, but the back mountain of Weizhuang is an exception. It is high and steep, standing there, as if overlooking Weizhuang at any time.Another point is that the ancestral tomb of Weizhuang is in a col in the back mountain.

Wei Shi didn't like this back mountain very much since he was a child.

He searched in the back mountain, but couldn't find anyone, so he had to go to Wei Zhuang's cemetery. From a distance, he saw Wei Xin standing in the cemetery.

— standing among a mass of graves and tombstones.
