Chapter 119 Night Watch 1
Just when Mo Suifeng was about to approach the man, the man's figure suddenly disappeared. Mo Suifeng stopped and opened his eyes wide, staring at the place where the man was sitting, and looked around. There were no men either.

He clearly saw a person sitting there just now, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Mo Suifeng immediately understood that he saw something unclean, so he quickly stretched out his hands and drew a sword finger gesture in front of his eyes a few times. Just turned around and left here.

After returning to the ancestral hall, I saw many people holding a piece of bamboo in their hands, especially children, and some of them held two bamboos. One end of the bamboo was stuffed with cotton, and the air smelled like kerosene lamps.

Mo Suifeng didn't understand what was going on here?Just as he was wondering, Li Lin suddenly walked up to him and handed him a bamboo. The bamboo was stuffed with cotton at one end and had heavy kerosene spots. It looked like a torch used in ancient times.

"Is this a torch?"

"That's right, but it's called a lamp here! We're going to turn off the lamp later, so you can go with us?" Li Lin said while shaking the bamboo in his hand, as if listening to how much kerosene it contained .

"Walk the lights? Aren't you walking? Could it be that I can also participate, I think it's better to forget it!" Mo Suifeng looked at the lights in his hands and they were obviously different from the lotus lanterns in their hands.

"No, no, it's different. You see, that's what they've been waiting for until now. The lighting is different. Ah, it's starting, hurry up and light the lamp!"

Just after Li Lin finished speaking, Mo Suifeng saw a group of people crowding towards the two Taoist priests, and then the torch in the Taoist priest's hand lit the bamboo lamp in his hand.

At this time, firecrackers were set off, and a group of people began to follow the Taoist priest towards a small path. Li Lin pulled Mo Suifeng to the middle of the team, and lit Mo Suifeng's bamboo lantern with his own.

There are dozens of people in the team, winding more than [-] meters, like a fire dragon shuttling through the countryside and mountains. Whenever passing a place, as long as there are people living there, someone will burn yellow paper and firecrackers where the team passes. Behind the team is drumming. There was another person who was beating the gong to carry the burden. In addition to the yellow paper for firecrackers, there was also a white cloth inside. Anyone who burned the yellow paper to pick up and send off the lantern team would get a white cloth package. There was nothing inside, just the size of a man's filial hat. white cloth.

The team first started from the east of the village, walked along the village road to the back of the mountain, until they went out of the village.When they left the village, there was no one to pick them up. At some point, Li Lin and the others had already walked behind the Taoist priest. Mo Suifeng looked back and saw that the line was very long, and the distance between each person was more than one meter, but there was no break. The most important ones are the adults who beat the gongs and drums.From time to time, a person took out a small hanging firecracker and lit it and threw it on the ground.

"Where are we going?" Mo Suifeng asked Li Lin who was beside him.

"Go to my second uncle's cemetery, walk around the cemetery, then go around to the front gate of the village, enter the village from the front gate and return to the ancestral hall. It's there, almost there!" Li Lin said, pointing to a big mountain in front of him.

Mo Suifeng looked up, it was really a big mountain, the cemetery could not be on the top or halfway up the mountain.

Soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain. The Taoist priest walked at the front, and the others followed. The cemetery of Uncle Li Lin is really on the mountainside. Mo Suifeng felt a little tired after walking for a while. Looking back It was found that there were still people at the foot of the mountain who hadn't come up yet.

At this time the Taoist priest had already arrived at the cemetery, and Li Lin had also arrived, and Mo Suifeng was no exception, he couldn't lose to a child, seeing Li Lin arrive at the cemetery breathlessly, Mo Suifeng gritted his teeth and stood up.

The Taoist priest sprinkled some wine in front of the cemetery, then sang some scriptures, and then began to walk around the cemetery, so everyone followed suit, walked around the cemetery and went straight down the mountain, Mo Suifeng walked around the cemetery When going down the mountain, I happened to meet people behind the team on the way. They had to go up and around the cemetery to get down. Li Lin saw a few friends smiling and urging them to hurry up, and then showed off that he had already gone down the mountain.

Then they passed the fields, followed the path and began to move towards the village. Gradually, a few sparks appeared in front of them.

When they approached the place where there were residents, some people started to burn yellow paper and firecrackers on the side of the road, until they entered the village, more and more people received the lights, and there were burning yellow paper fires and dense firecrackers all the way. The sound of firecrackers, the flying firecrackers exploded and even bounced on people's bodies. Although it was nothing serious, it still hurt a little, such as the face.

Finally arrived at the ancestral hall, Mo Suifeng followed them into the ancestral hall and then went inside, walked around the coffin before coming out, when he came out, there was a man standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, holding a big bag in his hand, which contained a pack of The candy wrapped in yellow paper is used as a reward for those who participate in the lantern walk. It is precisely because of this that almost all the children in the village, who are seven or eight years old, come here for this final reward.

Generally, the ceremony that outsiders participated in is over here, and those children have gone home with candies, and those who watched the lanterns have also gone home one after another.

Look at the time is 09:30, everyone else is a little tired, but Taoist priests and people beating gongs and drums are still going on, on both sides of the coffin, the relatives of the deceased are still there, because they still have things to do next, Li Lin told Mo Suifeng that they would have to walk over the overpass next, and the ceremony would be over after the overpass, and the Taoist priests could go back to rest, and he could go home and sleep.

After all the ceremonies of the day were over, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and almost all the people in the ancestral hall had left. The ancestral hall, which had been bustling all day, finally calmed down, but the family members of the deceased had to stay a few people to come Wake.

In the end, they discussed that Li Lin's father and nephew Li Hao would come to watch the spirit, while the others went home to rest.

Mo Suifeng was about to walk out of the gate of the ancestral hall when he saw Xu Le coming, so he smiled and asked, "Are you here to pick me up so late?"

"I came here to tell you that there is no room for anyone in my house, so we have to go back to the car to rest."

"You mean, we're going to sleep in that broken car tonight, my God! I can't accept such a result!" Mo Suifeng said with his hands on his forehead in frustration.

"That's your broken car. If you dare say my car is broken, you want to die!" Xu Le raised his hand and knocked on Mo Suifeng's head and cursed.

"You are so fierce that I don't want to sleep with you. You always use violence. My life is at stake!" Mo Suifeng took a few steps back as he rubbed his head, getting a little further away from Xu Le.

"Who wants to sleep with you? You can do whatever you want. I don't care about you. If you have the ability, don't get in the car!" After putting down the words, Xu Le turned around and left with a cold snort .She came to tell him to go back to the car to sleep because her head was squeezed by the door.Don't let him do whatever he likes with the wind, she, Xu Le, won't care about it.

Looking at Xu Le's leaving back, Mo Suifeng's unruly face gradually faded away, he sighed slightly, turned and entered the ancestral hall.Early in the morning, he discovered that there were several small rooms on the left and right sides of the main hall in the ancestral hall. When practicing rituals, some people recorded the names of those who came to express their condolences and the paper money burned, including a few knives in yellow paper, how much Whether there are firecrackers, wreaths, elegiac couplets, etc., the family will return favors one by one according to the above list.

Now that everyone is gone and there is no one in the room, he can go to sleep with peace of mind.Next to the coffin, the son of the deceased was still kneeling there to add yellow paper to the brazier, while Li Lin's father was already sitting there leaning against the wall and squinting his eyes, so no one noticed that Mo Suifeng had entered the small room.

Mo Suifeng found a corner place, linked several square chairs together, built a simple small bed, and then lay on it with his clothes on. Suddenly, he felt that it was more comfortable than curling up in Xu Le's small car It is more than a hundred times, the hands and feet are completely relaxed, and the buttocks will not feel uncomfortable. In short, it is two words, comfortable!

Not long after he fell asleep, Mo Suifeng suddenly felt a bit chilly. He gathered the leather jacket on his body, but the chill seemed to be getting closer.

This house has only one door, and it is in the ancestral hall. When there are many people in the daytime, it is as if the heating is turned on inside. The temperature is higher than outside, so he shouldn't feel cold at all sleeping here.

At this time, Mo Suifeng opened his eyes and stared at the roof, and there was a sound of footsteps and iron chains on the roof, as if someone was walking on the roof.

Mo Suifeng's heart trembled, could it be that this is a errand to seduce the soul, if he sees the errand, can't he ask about Qiye's situation, although Qiye gave birth last time, but Qingming sent two errands to give him Good news, it was just past one o'clock in the middle of the night, and he was woken up by the servant who appeared in his house in the middle of his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw two servants standing beside his bed with pale grimaces and staring at him. That picture is simply too beautiful.

Mo Suifeng got up slowly, and slowly approached the door with a cat-like body, showing half of his head to check the situation at the spiritual place. At this time, Li Lin's father and his nephew were already resting there, and the fire in the brazier was still on. Burning, it was obvious that Li Hao had only been asleep for a few minutes.

Mo Suifeng stared at the spiritual tablet with his eyes wide open, when suddenly a gust of wind blew up and rolled up those elegiac couplets.Then the sound of iron chains came again, and it was even clearer. Mo Suifeng hid himself back, trying to minimize his presence. What if he scared them away before he asked them? It's not fun anymore.

At this moment, two erratic figures slowly came down from the roof, their figures fluctuating between virtual and real. One of them was holding an iron chain in his hand. He walked to the coffin and stopped, and said to the coffin. "Li Gui, your time is up, come with us!"

Then Mo Suifeng saw a person standing up under one end of the coffin, wearing a navy blue gown, Mo Suifeng suddenly felt that the clothes looked familiar, and suddenly thought of the figure he saw by the pond before, and then Looking at his facial features, they are exactly the same as the portrait on the coffin.
