My master is invincible

Chapter 268 Empty Coffin (34)

If this is the case, then nine out of ten of the bones on the river are his grandfather.However, I have another doubt in my heart. His grandfather committed suicide by jumping into the river at least 50 years ago. Why did Wang Cheng conclude that the corpse is his father?

Could it be that no one fell into the river and drowned during these 50 years?This is not in line with the rules, you know, in the reservoirs and rivers in the countryside, where did people not drown?

I asked the doubts in my heart. Before Wang Xi could speak, his mother spoke up and said, "This river is called the Ping An River here. Except for the father-in-law who committed suicide here 50 years ago, there is no longer one." People have drowned."

"Mom is right. People rarely drown in this river. When I was naughty when I was a child, I ran into this river to take a bath. I almost drowned. I don't know what happened. It felt like someone lifted me up. At that time , Grandma took a lot of yellow paper and burned it here, crying while burning, saying that I survived because of Grandpa's manifestation." Wang Chuyao spoke from the side.

When I heard what the mother and daughter said, I was even more confused. According to the customs in our countryside, if someone died in the river, it was a water ghost. As long as someone went to the river to take a bath, they might drown. The ghost looking for a substitute will definitely not be like the woman said, this river is the Pingan River, at least, the deceased He Xiuhua fell into the water and drowned here.

When they saw that I was frowning and didn't speak, Wang Chuyao became a little anxious and said, "Ninth brother, I really didn't lie to you. Nobody drowned in this river. If you don't believe me, just ask Grandpa Wang."

As she spoke, she called out to Wang Fangmin: "Grandpa Wang, come here."

That Wang Fangmin had been standing next to Qingxuanzi, very close to us, only a few steps away, he was taken aback when he heard Wang Chuyao's shout, and walked over with Qingxuanzi.

After he came to us, Wang Chuyao couldn't wait to ask: "Grandpa Wang, has the Ping An River in our village never drowned anyone?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, the old man has lived for fifty-three years, and he has never seen anyone drown in the river."

As soon as I heard this, I was sure in my heart that the bones in the river must be Wang Chengcai's father, because they didn't need to lie to me.

However, since it was the bones of Wang Chengcai's father, why did the bones surface on the day of the deceased's funeral?Why did those bones pronounce the word 'injustice'?

Could it be... that the wicked things done by the deceased have something to do with the owner of this corpse?

Suddenly, I suddenly remembered that the deceased He Xiuhua also fell in this position. Now, I had an idea in my mind, the owner of this bone did not commit suicide, but was killed by the deceased?

Thinking of this, I was taken aback for a moment, and two words flashed in my mind, kill my husband.Only in this way can it make sense why the deceased will be bedridden for three years.Of course, this is just my opinion, the fact remains to be verified.

At this time, Qingxuanzi who was on the side spoke. He nodded to me first, then glanced at the bones on the river, and finally stopped his eyes on the coffin not far away, and said in a low voice: "Chen Baxian, if the bones The owner is the father of the main family, I have an idea, what do you think?"

"What do you think?" I came back to my senses and asked puzzled.

"I want to put those bones into that coffin. First, the coffin is empty. Putting some bones in it is not considered a violation of the funeral. Second, depending on the situation, the deceased has some grievances and grievances with the owners of these bones. We will They are buried together, and I hope they can resolve their grievances." Qingxuanzi said lightly.

I glanced at him in surprise. Judging by the tone, he also suspected that the deceased had killed his husband back then, and that's why he proposed joint burial.

Some people will definitely ask, is it too hasty for you to conclude that the deceased killed her husband based on guesswork?Then let me tell you, in the countryside, you don’t pay attention to factual evidence, just have a little suspicion, just like a certain woman, someone said that she had an affair, once more people said this, no matter whether she stole or not, she would be confirmed. The so-called people's words are terrible, Qingxuanzi and I are in the countryside, so we can't avoid this vulgarity, and we will naturally act according to our own ideas.

"How is it? Is this in line with the rules?" Seeing that I didn't speak, Qingxuanzi pulled me and asked.

I shook my head and said, "The deceased is a tomb, so it can be regarded as an empty coffin, and the bones on the river are the husband of the deceased. Logically speaking, they can be buried together. It's not easy to tell the reason why the husband and wife are buried together, we don't know what kind of grievances they have. "

As soon as I said this, everyone present fell silent. The two old men have already passed away. Who knows what happened to them back then?It seems that this joint burial is impossible, the only way is to send the deceased up the mountain first, and then hold a funeral for the owner of the bones later.

If this is the case, I must not have enough time. After all, the train track has been blocked for a few days, and it should be cleared now. It will be able to run normally either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I have no time to delay in the wax tree village.

Thinking of this, I didn't say anything else, it's not my funeral, so I can't comment, so I asked Wang Chengcai to go down the river to fish up those bones, hold them in a white cloth, and ask someone else to do the funeral.

That Wang Cheng had been kneeling on the ground and howling. After hearing what I said, he tore off the white cloth from his body without any hesitation.

About twenty minutes later, the bones were picked up. I performed some simple rituals on the bones, and made Wang Chengcai's family of four kneel and kowtow a few times.

After finishing this, I arranged for a villager in the wax tree village to guard the corpse by the river. At first that person was unwilling, saying yes, he was afraid of guarding the corpse alone in the middle of the night.In the end, Wang Cheng took out a red envelope and gave it to the person, and the person immediately agreed. Sometimes he had to say, money is really a good thing.

After arranging things, I glanced at the bones, feeling quite helpless. The financial conditions of Wang Chengcai's family were already extremely tight. After finishing the funeral of the deceased, it can be said that there was no food left. Two or 3000 yuan will definitely be difficult to send up the mountain.

However, things in the world are like this. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. How a family can survive depends on individual efforts.

Back in the funeral procession, I made a few bows to the coffin, burned some yellow paper, and said a lot of good things to express my apology.

Afterwards, a group of us carried the coffin and walked forward. Qingxuanzi and I walked in front, and the coffin bearer walked behind. Wang Chengcai's family of four surrounded the coffin, with two on each side, and the daughters of the deceased followed behind the coffin. .

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, we came to the middle of the mountain, and I felt something was wrong, because along the way, the wailing of Wang Chengcai's family of four became quieter, and they were not as sad as before.

Driven by curiosity, I took a flashlight and looked towards the back, and saw that the coffin was about [-] meters away from me. What surprised me was that only three of Wang Cheng's family were there.

Dingqing looked, and I found that Wang Cheng was gone, Ma De, what's going on?That Wang Cheng is a filial son, how could he disappear during the funeral? I suppressed my doubts and ran towards the coffin.
