Chapter 201: You go and get ready
"Aigoo, I do not know, this little child so can hold a grudge yo!" Wang Dezi said with a face full of remorse.
The village chief saw him this goatish, can't help but scolded: "It's not you who made the mistake? A good child was tossed into a ghost by you, people do not look for you to find who?"
"Alas, in fact, this child is also poor, twice to be a man are not, cast and can not cast the fetus, only to become a dustbin ghost they will be resentful, come back to take revenge on you." Liu Wan Diem sighed, words with pity.
Generally children who die before reaching adulthood are not allowed to have tombstones, and people usually put the bodies of those dead children in dustpans and pick them up to the back of the mountains for burial, while the dustpan containing their bodies cannot be taken back, but has to be inverted on the grave. Because the dustpan is made of bamboo, it prevents them from turning into evil spirits.
But there are also because of the accidental death of small children die with a dustpan directly into the wilderness, but the grievances do not dissipate, but will make a mess, so the rich and powerful people in the past, small children even if they die young, but also in the home for them to set up a long-life tablets so that they can be enshrined, or to find monks to transcend the six paths of reincarnation so that they can be to suppress the house to bless the peace of a family.
To say to the dustbin ghost, into the star's impression is the most profound, in the past when he was a child and the master in the Taoist temple, he always love to pester the master to tell himself stories, and the master see himself on the ghosts and monsters things are quite interested in, so often happy and into the star and star to say what he saw and heard.
The first time the master told the story about, is about the dustbin ghost.
It was a summer evening, a woman led her young son back to her mother's home, halfway tired, so she took her son to rest on the side of the road. It was almost dark, and the woman wanted to get to her mother's home before it got dark, but her son refused to leave, saying he was tired and wanted to sit down and rest.
But the child, somehow, once sat down on the sleepy, the woman saw her son sleepy, let him close his eyes and sleep for a while.
Who knows, this child sleep ah, so call can not wake up, no matter shake him or slap his face do not see wake up. This woman was anxious, but also do not care to return to his mother's home, and immediately led his son back to go, hurried all the way back home.
To the home, we see to go to the mother's home of the women to go and come back, asked what is going on, the woman said their son slept over and did not wake up, we heard, and quickly look for someone to find a doctor, but the doctor has not yet arrived, the child woke up on his own.
Everyone is very strange, just how this child can not wake up how to call it, how now on their own wake up? The woman is still not assured, and let the back of the doctor came to the son to monitor check, but the doctor said the child is very healthy, there is no problem.
Just when we all feel strange, outside came the news, just that woman back to her mother's home must pass through the road that piece of catching up with the ground cow turn over, the mountain stone soil are rolling down, the road are sealed off, and rolled down the mountain stone also smashed quite a lot of people dead.
The woman heard, shocked out of a cold sweat, so dangerous ah, just now if it is not the son of the incident they rushed back, now being smashed to death may be her and her son two people.
Everyone asked and the child there is no hard place, and the child does not seem to realize that he slept for so long, but instead a wake up on the liveliness of the discussion.
The boy also said the party in that mountain side, met a little girl, the girl invited himself to go play together, he agreed, so the two played a long time, until the girl reminded him to go home, let him close his eyes, said that a closed eyes will allow him to return to the home, take over the boy closed his eyes, and then opened when, indeed, saw the face of the anxious old lady.
That doctor saw the child depicted colorful, see him also does not seem to tell a lie look, asked in passing: "What does the girl look like ah?"
"That sister ah, wearing a red dress, face can be white can look good …… Oh yes, on her eyebrows, there is a red dot it!" The boy answered in a childish voice.
Who knows that the woman heard this, immediately changed face, and hastily went to burn a few columns of incense inserted in front of the house, and from the cupboard to turn out some paper candles, small birthday clothes and so on together in front of the house to the burn, and said God bless, this action, but also look at the side of a cadre of people booed.
It turned out that the woman in front of a daughter, the daughter since childhood on the smart and lovely, very much loved, women are not like the usual rural women as patriarchal, but on the female eldest child a lot of love, and even did not want to regenerate the second child, we all mocked the women at that time, said that sooner or later the daughter is going to be married off, and then she is pain is also the pain in other people's homes. The woman didn't listen to them, but said that her daughter was her own sweetest little coat, and that she should be loved and cared for.
But the good times did not last long, the girl got an acute illness, not more than six years old on the death, crying women are dead, and finally, although there is still this child, but still very much miss the daughter, from time to time to go to her grave often accompanied by her to talk to her, burning paper and candles and so on.
When the girl died, she was less than six years old, at that time we also feel very sorry. The girl looks very cute, red mouth, almond eyes bright, thin eyebrows also hung a little red beauty mole, character is also pleasing, see people with a sweet smile, open mouth called: "uncle uncle, aunt aunt ……" small mouth can be sweet, everyone! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it.
Now listen to the son so say, this find him to play the girl, but is not the woman died of the eldest daughter it? She is a small age on the premature death, can not cast the fetus, had to guard in the love of their own mother side, see her ready to meet the danger, but also find ways to let her be spared.
To say ah, this ghost and people, there are good and bad, you treat it well, it will also find ways to repay you, if you dare it to harm it, then it will also come back to harm you. After finishing the story, the master of Thanh Nghia said to him in this way to summarize the story.
Liu Wan Diem see Wang Dezi still have remorse, but still solemnly he said: "children ah, not compared to adults, mind for all, but they are also very vindictive, you treat them like this later, back to seek revenge ah, is inevitable."
"That …… then what should I do ah! Master, you can save me, save my son ah, I now have him a single seedling, if this son is also gone, my family can really become the head of the family." When Wang Dezi heard Liu Wan Yan say this, he also panicked.
For people in the countryside, not having a son is simply a thing to be looked down upon.
Although now has been reformed and opened up, but the countryside people still have the deep-rooted concept of relying on the son to pass on the family name, which is thousands of years of old ideas, not all of a sudden be able to the over.
Liu Wan Diem see Wang Dezi still stubborn look, then said in a bad mood: "have said, the child are all have the temperament of the child, whether it is a person or a ghost are the same, you words outside the tightly your little son, and then go on like this, is to clean up the two little ghosts, and in the end, or will be in trouble."
"Then …… what should I do?" Wang Dezi is still unclear.
The village chief on the side couldn't stand it anymore, clapping his hand was a slap to Wang Dezi's head, angrily scolded, "You stupid ass, how to say are not enlightened ah? Master Wan means that you not only have to be good to the son, is the daughter can not be left behind ah! How many times have I told you to take care of your eldest daughter?"
"You do not think, your daughter how long did not eat a meal of meat, the last time my family went to your home when my family looked at your daughter, skinny are out of shape. You are valuing the son, can not treat the daughter like this ah, at least are your doll, a fat red face, a thin personal appearance, how can you do so heartless thing yo!" The village chief said here, and could not help but kick Wang Dezi a foot.
"Aigoo, my good brother, this is not negligence? Since my daughter paralyzed in bed, shoulder can't resist, hand can't lift, the whole day on the bed to eat for nothing, I can still give her food and drink is good, which still have that free money, can meal good meat for her it!" Wang Dezi covered his head and muttered in a small voice.
See Wang Dezi or this stingy stingy look, Liu Wan Yan has remembered that last night under the moonlight of the thin bones of the poor girl, will not hit a place, so the words are no longer polite, just ice-cold, "Since you care so much about the child, then even if they die and become ghosts you are not afraid of, then what I say and do is also useless, I'm afraid that I can not help you. I'm afraid I can't help you."
Hearing Liu Wan Diem say this, Wang Dezi is even more petty, but also know that he is angry, so even said: "Alas, master, I …… I just said are not right, that is all a bastard bullshit, you can not take it to heart." There patted his chest to ensure that said, "You don't worry, I must go back to that girl as a living ancestor for the same, there is a mouthful of my food, there is no less of her, you see this way?"
Auntie Liu laughed at his words, "You don't want to just lavish the greens on the oil can and then take them to your daughter as meat!"
Everyone laughed at Aunt Liu's words, they knew that Wang Dezi was petty, but it was rare for someone to be so petty as to be so funny.
Wang Dezi heard also embarrassed, quickly roared: "That is how many years ago, don't mention it again! But this time go back, I must treat the big girl well, even with the daughter-in-law together to treat him well, I …… I am here like Chairman Mao guarantee!"
"Okay, we don't want any guarantee from you, and it's not that you must treat your daughters how good, just hope that you can treat the two children equally, the two dolls together, don't one eat mouth flowing oil, one but hungry three meals not full on it." Liu Wan Yan looked at Wang De Zi, words through the serious, "You do not blame me for meddling in the matter, this is also for your own good, better for the child, otherwise, ah, a careless, the future is still easy to accident."
"And those buried in the hills behind the dolls, from time to time to see them, accompany them to talk, give them weed, burn writing paper candles and so on to worship them, so that they can let them feel at ease in the grave to stay, do not come out to cause trouble." Liu Wan Diem again instructed.
"Hey …… hey …… I remember." Wang Dezi listened while nodding his head in agreement.
Zhen Soul
Seeing that Wang Dezi had agreed, Liu Wan Diem said nothing more, just thinking things over, seemingly pondering what to do next.
Pulling over Thanh Nghia and Li Xianzheng again, the three of them got together and muttered for a while.
Landing for a while, as if they had decided something, the three men turned around in unison, and Liu Wan Diem opened his mouth again to ask Wang Dezi, "Where are your dragon and phoenix fetuses buried?"
"Just over the hill behind my house." Wang Dezi hurriedly answered.
"Do you still remember the exact location?" Liu Wan Diem asked again.
"This ……" Wang Dezi scratched his head, thought carefully and said, "I'm afraid I don't remember much."
"Who said do not remember ah!" At this time, the village chief interjected, said "you go to the back of that on the look, the grave on the bottom of the dustpan, is a red cloth patched, is his family doll's grave."
As soon as the words fell, Aunt Liu slapped her thighs and said, "Yes, I went to see that grave at first, and scolded Wang Dezi for being so petty!"
Wang Dezi heard, also remembered, replied: "Right …… right, my family that dustpan is mended, with cloth mended dustpan, that hill there is my family's grave is so."
If that time, because of his own pettiness delayed the condition of the dragon and phoenix child, the child is so lost, but people can not be dead, Wang Dezi's pettiness is still like that can not be changed.
Since the child is gone, he used the broken dustpan for many years to put the child a load, and transported away to bury, buried after the dustpan is also buckled there. At first, because of this he was scolded by the village head, saying that the children are gone, but also can not afford to use a better dustpan to load them away, if it is not afraid of the village people pointing their noses at him and scolding him for being petty, that broken dustpan he can not afford to stay there, but also want to take it home to continue to use it!
Liu Wan Yan heard him say so, to this Wang Dezi is crying and laughing, this person or really stingy, actually use the broken dustpan loaded with children, the dustpan is also broken even if it is, or with red cloth patched, no wonder that the two dragon and phoenix fetus do not turn into ghosts come back to look for things!
Looking up at the sun, Liu Wan Yan stood up and said to Wang De Zi, "You go to get ready, want five live male chickens, and then go to cut some bamboo over, want to be older old hard bamboo, later we are ready, we will go to find you, you are ready to wait in the house, then, go up to the mountain together, go to the side of the grave of the dragon and phoenix fetus of yours. "
When Wang Dezi heard, five male chickens, suddenly his heart ached, asked, "Five male chickens yo? Will three do?"
As soon as the words fell, Liu Wan Diem had not yet spoken, the village son on the side scolded, "You're a cheapskate, Master Wan has said to five, do you think he can still pit your chickens ah, you want chickens ah, or want a son?"
Liu Wan Diem also waved his hand and said, "Five male chickens, one less is not good, and must be male chickens, female chickens are not good, if this comes out wrong, then I can not save you."
Wang Dezi heard, the words are said to this point, also dare not say anything more, only to nod repeatedly agreed.
Seeing that he had agreed, Liu Wan Yan turned to the village chief and said, "Uncle, you still have to find five strong men to help, and then we will have lunch together and go up the mountain together."
When Wang Dezi heard that he had to find people to help, five at a time, and he also had to greet them for lunch, his heart suddenly ached so much that even his liver hurt, how much money would this cost?
But given that he had just been scolded so many times, he did not dare to bargain and could only agree.
Seeing Wang Dezi's bitter face, Liu Wan Yan found it very funny, and then added: "Right, Uncle Wang, you still need to prepare some good spirits, you'll have to use them for dinner and going up the mountain later!"
When Wang Dezi heard this, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and agreed, anyway, he already had to prepare so many things in front of him, and the ones after that would be nothing to add to it.
The group saw the stingy Wang Dezi finally hemorrhage once, and then look at a look of liver pain, suddenly feel very relieved.
Soon, the village chief will be from the head of the village to find five strong man, at first glance is the tiger back and waist, one is the village of the famous bold man, everyone gathered, Liu Wan Yan this side of the ready, followed by everyone together to the home of Wang De Zi went.
Because it is the same village, Wang Dezi's house is not far away, only a few minutes walk to see his family's unorthodox house.
In fact, thinking of coming together to help people or quite a lot of people, in addition to a village of people, everyone usually together, which family out of the matter like to come over to give a hand outside, more importantly, so far, there is no individual to go to the home of Wang Dezi ate, but Wang Dezi to the village of the family's meals are rubbed all over the place.
So going to Wang Dezi's house to dine has become one of the toughest tasks for the village people, and so far no one has been able to successfully dine at Wang Dezi's house.
So when I heard that to help, but also to go to Wang Dezi's home to eat, everyone is happy bad, one after another to take the initiative to say to help, but unfortunately the quota is only five, did not catch up with can only be watched from the sidelines.
Later ah, Liu Wan Yan they heard, some people did not because of this opportunity to go to Wang Dezi's home to rub on the meal, but also regret for a while, of course, this is the aftermath.
Wang Dezi was scolded more, or realized that this is a big event related to his son's life, this time it is quite generous, early prepared five male chickens, and good food, and several jars of spirits, this generous strength, actually with the village together with the five hanzi surprised can not say the whole word, can only eat while eating rice, will be a mouth of a slurred, said, "This! Wang Dezi when to change the nature of ……"
To be everyone finished eating, Liu Wan Yan will pick up two altars of spirits, a altar to everyone poured, just full of a cup of two-thirds, let everyone drink, to be everyone a mouthful of dry, and then poured on two-thirds, let everyone poured on the hands, wash off the hands of the oil stains.
After everyone washed, Liu Wan Diem and Cheng Kexing two people let Wang Dezi take out the ready bamboo, holding a knife, those old and hard bamboo cut into two sharp ends of the shape of a flat piece, and each one has about a foot long or so, with the bamboo cut, Liu Wan Diem three people, Wang Dezi, and the five strong man will go up the mountain together.
A group of people walked up the mountain for a period of time, they saw a small graveyard from afar, only to see that the graveyard was flooded by long grass, inside also vaguely through a piece of red, beside also surrounded by three equally small graveyard, that should be the graveyard of the dragon and phoenix child, beside the three small graveyard, it should be the three children's graves of the Wang De Zi did not have later on.
Liu Wan Yan carried a rooster, took the knife, then cut open the chicken's neck, see that the rooster blood is like a faucet a wow stay, so around the outside of the three graves in one of the packet began to circle.
Just see the cock twitch a few times on the immobility, with Liu Wan Diem positive and negative each around a circle after the cock blood precisely just flowed out, a drop is not much, but also a drop is not less. After the blood of the rooster ran out, Liu Wan Yan burned a piece of yellow paper stained with liquor in front of the grave, and after the yellow paper burned with a "tearing" sound, a simple requiem ceremony was completed.
For the remaining two graves, Liu Wan-yen and Thanh Khac Thanh were responsible for one grave and completed the ceremony for the three graves by following the actions of the previous grave.
Finally, it was the turn of the tomb of the dragon and phoenix fetus. Since the dragon and phoenix fetus had turned into ghosts and were able to get back to their family to take revenge, the ghost age of these two little ghosts was not low, and the simple requiem ceremony could no longer pacify them, but had to use a special technique.
Liu Wan Yan first cut open the throat of a rooster, soaked the previously sharpened bamboo slice in the blood of the rooster, and let the blood of the rooster dye every part of the slice red, and then put it aside.
And picked up the last rooster, just when Liu Wan Yan ready to cut open the blood, who knows that the rooster suddenly cackle cackle up, screaming miserable abnormal, and fluttering wings, struggling very strong.
If it is not the side of Li Xianzheng, quick to help Liu Wan Yan pressed, the cock is afraid to break free and fly away.
It was hard to hold down the rooster, cut the throat, put the blood of the rooster, Liu Wan Diem is anyway, each walked around, while walking mouth also read words, said: "Do not blame us for the heart of the cruel, human ghosts are different paths, the two of you, if you go on like this, in the future, I'm afraid that reincarnation is even more unlikely."
In the process of bloodletting, the rooster still struggled very much, not at all like the previous few so docile, until Liu Wan Diem finished the last step, bloodletting is finished, the chicken no longer struggling, as if suddenly was pointing the dead blood in general, immediately closed his eyes and died.
See the rooster no longer move, Liu Wan Diem will be the rooster to which cover the grave on the dustpan thrown, the side of the people together to help busy to add soil, only to the rooster buried invisible, only to call a halt, at this time, the original small graves have been because of the relationship between the filling of the soil, than the original size of the more than twice as large.
Liu Wan Diem and the preparation of the bamboo pieces to the hands of all, in addition to their own, a total of, just about everyone a piece, so that four people were standing in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and north, the other four people together to the highest tip of the bamboo pieces against the grave part, Liu Wan Diem and then drew out a spiritual talisman, first of all, shouted at the grave bag, "you do not resent, I will let your father and mother often I will let your parents often come to see you, accompany you to talk, give you weeding and burning paper candles, and after seventy-seven or forty-nine days, I will ask someone to give you supererogation, so that you can be reincarnated as soon as possible."
