Memoirs of Paranormal Events

Chapter 3 The Undead Old Lady 5
The man stepped forward a few steps, and the muzzle of the soil gun was held against the contents of the sack, but he didn't shoot directly, but looked hesitantly at the bulge in the sack.

"Haw! Haw!"

The things in the sack seemed to be about to happen until the next moment, and they screamed even more horribly.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and shoot, if we let this bastard get away, we'll all be fine!"

Zhao Ermei saw that the man didn't shoot for a long time, so she urged him.

Hearing Zhao Ermei's urging, the man didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and directly pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

"Hawk!..."

With a muffled sound, the animal in the sack let out a miserable scream, and then a puff of black smoke came out, and the strong smell of gunpowder spread. smell.

"It's done! Open the sack!"

It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Ermei felt relieved and took a long breath.

Uncle and the others were also curious about what was in the bag, so they rushed forward to open the sack and took out an animal with gray and white fur.

"This is a fox! It's so big, it's blind, if you don't kill it with an earthen gun, this skin would be worth some money!"

Seeing the animal that was taken out of the sack, the man with the soil gun let out an exclamation.

On my side, I heard the man's exclamation. Driven by curiosity, I bravely ran forward, wanting to see what this fox looks like. I have never seen a fox at such a big age!

The thieves came to their uncle and the others, and carefully looked at the fox that was thrown on the sack.

I saw a big gray fox lying on the sack. Unfortunately, there were many small blood holes on the shiny fur, which had dyed part of the fur red. When I looked at the fox carefully, The fox's closed eyes suddenly opened, looking at me with strong resentment.

"what!"

Startled by this sudden scene, I couldn't help but screamed.

The uncle who was carefully looking at the fox suddenly heard a scream behind him, trembling with fright, and looked at me one after another.

"Little bastard, when did you come? Hurry up and go back to me!"

Uncle saw that it was me who came here at some time, so he waved his hand angrily and slapped me.

"This little brat is really brave!"

"That's right, run here in the middle of the night!"

"Hurry up and go home, what are you looking at, don't let the fox fairy think about you!"

Everyone was preaching to me, I turned around wisely and left, otherwise my uncle might beat me up.

When walking to grandma's house, the last look of the fox couldn't help flashing in my mind, and I was a little scared, so I hurried back.

As soon as he came to the front yard, he heard crying in the courtyard of Laowei's house.

"Grandma, what happened to the old Wei family?"

With doubts, I came to my grandma who was standing by the wall looking at the old Wei's house and asked.

Grandma looked at me, and said with a sad expression: "Hey, old lady Wei died! Come on, let's go over there and have a look!" After saying that, grandma took me by the hand and walked towards the next door.

When we came to Old Wei's house, Mrs. Wei had already been put down from the stone mill. At this time, Zhengping was lying on the kang in Mrs. Wei's house, and a large group of people were busy working around the old lady's body.

After my grandma led me into the house, she left me and went straight to the kang, instructing members of the old Wei family to change the shroud for Mrs. Wei's body. In the Northeast, shrouds are also called old clothes.

They first took off all the clothes on the old lady. At this time, the men in the house all went out to avoid me, because I was a child, and they did not avoid me.

After taking off her clothes, she brought another basin of clean water, and carefully wiped the old lady's body. After wiping it clean, grandma picked up one side of the clothes herself, found a set of white shirts for the old lady to wear, and then took out a black shirt. The cotton-padded jacket and trousers were put on the corpse. The strange thing is that there is no button on these clothes, and they are all tied with cloth belts. Later, I asked other people to know that the implication of using belts is that there will be successors.

After getting dressed, he took out a pair of blue cloth shoes with lotus flowers embroidered on the soles of the cloth shoes, and finally took out a black hat with red flowers tied on top of the old lady's head.

It wasn't until then that the men outside were called in. The two sons of Mrs. Wei came in first. They looked a little sad, with tears in their eyes, and they walked in together carrying a long wooden board, which was the coffin. , who specially released the dead, came in and put the old lady’s body directly on the coffin, and the brothers sat on the kang and cried while waiting for Mr. Yin Yang to come. There are other ceremonies that have not been completed, and Mr. Yin Yang must be able to do it.

From their conversation, I found out that Mr. Zhang Tingjun had already gone home to prepare funeral objects.

While everyone was waiting, I looked curiously at the old lady on the coffin. At this time, the old lady's face was gray and black, and she was extremely thin. Corpse plaque.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Tingjun rushed over with a big bag in his hand.

Zhang Tingjun didn't talk nonsense after entering the house, he directly opened the bag and took out a lot of things from it.

He muttered unknown words, while taking out a copper coin, opened the old lady's mouth and put it in. Said it was dry food for the vicious dogs, called it dog food, then took a black cloth and covered the face of the corpse, and finally took out a long white cloth, and covered the old lady tightly with the joint efforts of all the people. Seriously.

After finishing these, Zhang Tingjun said to Boss Wei: "Boss Wei, go and get the shoulder pole!"

Hearing this, Boss Wei hurried out to fetch the shoulder pole that had been prepared.

Zhang Tingjun took the shoulder pole brought by Boss Wei, took out a stack of paper money and put it on an iron hook on the pole.

Then he handed the pole to Boss Wei, and said solemnly: "Take the pole, and follow the ceremony I told you!"

Boss Wei raised a shoulder pole, moved a bench, stepped on it, and shouted: "Mom, there are three Guangming Avenues on the Southwest Avenue, take the middle one!" After shouting three times in a row, it was over.

After everything was over, several people were recruited to carry the body of Mrs. Wei to the coffin shed that had been set up in the yard. There was a red wooden coffin parked in the coffin. Toutou rice, joss sticks, and some tributes.

After the body was carried out, it was put directly into the coffin, and the old lady's body had to be parked here for three days before being buried.

After witnessing all this, I didn't feel any fear or fear, but felt that it was very sacred. Later, we played this ceremony as a game, and the adults beat us up when they found out.

Zhang Tingjun came to the mourning hall, checked carefully and saw that there was nothing wrong, and then called the old Wei's family to tell him: "During the three days of the coffin, you must ensure that there is someone guarding the coffin. I will also live at your house for these three days. If anything happens, let me know right away!"

I stood aside, and I could clearly see the worried look on the old man's face. Could something happen if a person died?
