I entered the main room and took a closer look. Although the corpse couldn't bear to be looked at now, it didn't look like a sign of corpse transformation. Moreover, it didn't touch evil spirits or yin, so obviously there was no possibility of corpse shock. .
Moreover, when the corpse was lifted up just now, it was not just sitting up, but crawling out the door. This was definitely not a corpse-shock phenomenon.
I frowned and looked at it for a while, feeling that this situation was very intriguing and abnormal.
If the deceased was unwilling and had too much resentment, raising the corpse in the middle of the night would be equivalent to the corpse transforming, which would harm people. However, this corpse did not appear in this situation. Instead, it felt more like the person was not fully dead. It was as if he suddenly came to life.
I tore off the corpse-suppressing talisman from the corpse's forehead and looked at it. The corpse was no longer moving, but it still maintained a half-kneeling posture.
I gave it a gentle push and the body fell down.
Although I couldn't see the reason, I still put the corpse-suppressing talisman on the forehead of the corpse again to avoid anything happening again.
To be on the safe side, I took some exorcism charms and stuck them on the doors and windows, lest Chen Bing and his father come back to life inexplicably and create an infernal corpse. Although the corpse is now very damaged, if it becomes As for the Inferi, they are also extremely difficult to deal with.
I experienced that last time at Gu's house, so I think I have a better memory.
The rest of the night was surprisingly quiet, and nothing happened again.
At dawn, Chen Bing came over to burn incense and worship, and began to prepare for the funeral.
I ran to the town to find Li Laoliu.
Most of the people in the village had moved out before, and Li Laoliu was no exception. He rented a small shop at the entrance of Huimin Street and sold some paper figures, horses, and funeral supplies.
In the winter season, more old people die, so the business of his small shop seems to be pretty good. When I came here, early in the morning, someone came and bought two pairs of paper figures and horses.
I briefly told him about the incident at Chen Bing's house, meaning that I would ask him to sew up the body. As for the price, I didn't say anything. They would just let them negotiate it themselves. I wouldn't interfere too much. After all, Li Laoliu I rely on this business to make a living.
"Eleven, please help me introduce business to me."
Li Laoliu was naturally very happy after hearing this, and even handed over a cigarette as he spoke.
"Uncle Six, what are you talking about? I'm asking for your help!"
I smiled and took the cigarette.
After chatting for a while, Li Laoliu closed the shop and followed me to Chen Bing's house.
At this time, many people had come to the house, including neighbors and relatives nearby. Chen Bing and his wife were also wearing mourning and were busy greeting the guests who came to express their condolences.
However, most people just put incense sticks in the mourning hall and then hurried out. The main reason was that the corpse looked so terrifying that most people did not dare to stay in the mourning hall for too long.
I took Li Laoliu to introduce Chen Bing, and then asked him to go directly to see the body. .
In fact, the corpse was placed there. Li Laoliu had already seen it when he came in. He also frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
But when Li Laoliu saw the talisman on the forehead of the corpse, he was finally moved.
"Eleven, is there nothing wrong with this body?"
He quickly came over and asked me in a low voice.
"It's okay, Uncle Six. It's just that something happened last night. It's nothing serious. I put a charm on it, just in case."
I said and gave him a reassuring look.
There was no need to hide the fact that something happened to the body last night from Li Laoliu. After all, that was what he was doing, so any accident would not scare him.
Li Laoliu nodded after hearing this, feeling relieved, and then he took out his stuff and started sewing up the body.
Naturally, most people would not dare to watch this kind of scene. Even Chen Bing and his wife went out, but I chose to stay and watch because I was afraid that something would happen to the body again.
If I accidentally hurt Li Laoliu, my face would be useless.
The corpse was seriously damaged, and it took Li Laoliu more than four hours to completely mend it. Although it was still a bit unbearable to look at, at least it had a human shape, and the arms, legs and feet were restored to their original positions.
No matter how skilled Li Laoliu was, it would be impossible for a body that was so mutilated to be restored to the point where no traces could be seen, so it was good to be able to piece it together completely.
After finishing his work, Li Laoliu washed his hands and then smoked a cigarette and chatted briefly with me.
I heard people outside talking about something. It seemed that Chen Bing was asking relatives and elders how much money should be paid to Li Laoliu. It seemed that there was no need for me to speak.
Sure enough, Chen Bing came in after a while, holding a wad of money in his hand, and handed it directly to Li Laoliu with both hands.
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work. Don't think it's too little for your kindness."
Li Laoliu didn't refuse, he took the money directly and counted it while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
It looked like two thousand yuan to me, which was actually quite a lot, but judging from the degree of mutilation of Chen Bing's father's body, it certainly wasn't much.
Li Laoliu took one thousand yuan and returned the remaining one thousand yuan to Chen Bing.
"Eleven introduced me, I'll just take one thousand."
Li Laoliu said with a smile.
"How is this okay? Uncle, please accept it quickly."
...
The two pushed and pushed for a while, and finally Chen Bing put the returned money into his pocket, looking slightly embarrassed.
After Li Laoliu finished his work, he didn't delay, and went straight back to look at the shop without even waiting for dinner.
After lunch, Chen Bing and I took a trip to the back mountain and found a pretty good Feng Shui cave for his father. I also took the opportunity to ask him whether he should keep everything simple or should he rest for three days.
Chen Bing said that with so many things happening at home now, he didn't want to bother with it anymore, so he should keep everything simple.
This is of course the best choice. It saves me from having to keep vigil in the mourning hall alone at night. Besides, the funeral is suspended for a few days and the burial is simple and generous. In fact, it is just for appearance, and it is just for the living. Just looking at it.
So I watched it for an hour and was buried on the same day.
Today is the 13th day of the winter lunar month. The river is flowing in Bingwu and Dingwei. It is a small auspicious sign. It is suitable for funerals and groundbreaking, but it is taboo for weddings and business openings. The best time to bury was the You hour, but there was not enough time because the grave had to be dug in the afternoon, so the time was postponed to Hai hour.
The funeral service started at nine o'clock in the evening, and it was already completely dark.
Although everyone had flashlights, it was still a bit hairy to do this kind of work at night.
Chen Bing walked at the front holding the memorial tablet to lead the way, while I followed closely behind the coffin, fearing that the coffin bearers would accidentally drop the coffin.
Paper money was flying all the way, and the wind picked up at this time, causing the paper money to fly everywhere.
The funeral procession had just left the town and before they reached the uphill section, suddenly a coffin bearer accidentally stepped into a ditch on the side of the road and fell directly, taking several other people and the coffin with him. In the fields by the roadside.
By the time I reacted and wanted to catch up and grab the coffin, it was already too late!
