The portrait sheds tears, and the corpse monument is hundreds of miles away?
What's the meaning?
Mr. Daochang did not speak, but glanced at Mr. Wang. When the latter nodded, he sighed, stood up, walked to Aunt Chen, and said, Sister, I remember that your natal family seems to be to the west of Xiangchu?
Aunt Chen's wife had long been frightened by Mr. Dojo's previous words, so she even stopped crying. After hearing Mr. Dojo's question, he immediately nodded and asked Mr. Dojo tremblingly, "What's wrong?"
Mr. Daochang said, sister, please listen to my brother's advice. I'm afraid you won't be able to send Chen Guzi away at this time. When daybreak, you can take the little girl back to her parents' home. It would be better if he had relatives further away, but the further away the better.
Hearing this, Aunt Chen's tears that had been stopped suddenly fell down again, and she knelt down with a pop, crying and asking Mr. Chang, what on earth is going on? Is this the same thing? !
After crying for a few words, she seemed to suddenly think of something, turned to look at me, then pointed at me and asked Mr. Chang, is it him? Is he bad? Is he going to kill people and silence them?
Mr. Dojo hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her up, and then said, Chen Guzi is from your house. He is dead, so I can't come in front of you to criticize him, but this matter really has nothing to do with college students. The people in your house are asking for it.
Mr. Daochang's words not only confused Aunt Chen, but I was also confused. Chen Guzi's death was indeed caused by my grandfather. Why did Mr. Dojo say that he asked for it?
And the most unbelievable thing is that the Chinese nation has always been very particular about providing for old age and dying. As a result, Mr. Dojo asked Aunt Chen to return to her parents’ home before Chen Guzi was buried. This kind of thing, let alone Aunt Chen, even if it was a senior Even an intellectual woman who has graduated from college can't do it, right?
As expected, Aunt Chen was not happy. She stood up and grabbed Mr. Dojo's clothes and shook him from side to side. She said she didn't believe that her man had brought this on himself.
Mr. Dojo didn't explain much, and just said lightly, I know a lot, but you can see for yourself, but I hope that even if you don't think about yourself, you will also think about your daughter.
Aunt Chen cannot accept this explanation, and neither do I.
But before I opened my mouth, Aunt Chen asked him again, crying, what was going on? Why don't you ask me to see Lao Chen off all the way?
Mr. Dojo shook his head and said, I just heard my master tell me that I don’t know what it means to shed tears when meeting a portrait of a deceased person, or to run for a long time. I also asked my master, but he never told me until his death.
At this time, Mr. Wang said, it’s not that your master didn’t tell you, but your master probably didn’t know what was going on. In fact, it’s not a big deal, even if a dead person wants to return to evil spirits (resurrection of soul), you are the people in his house, if you don’t run away, you will follow him until death.
As soon as I said this, I saw Mr. Dojo frowning and looking at Mr. Wang, his face full of doubts. I know that Mr. Wang must have lied. It's just that the timing is wrong, so I can't ask Mr. Wang, lest it disrupt Mr. Wang's plan.
But these words were very useful to Aunt Chen. After hearing this, she collapsed on the ground and shook her head, saying, impossible, absolutely impossible! You are lying to me, you must be lying to me! Could Lao Chen Lang harm his daughter?
Mr. Wang snorted coldly and said, "Is it Mr. Ha who is going to kill someone?" (Specifically, you can save your mother. Rural people believe this very much, so I won’t go into details here)
These words didn't have any power to me, but Aunt Chen's body trembled, and her face instantly turned ugly. It seemed that she had heard a lot about killing people before this.
At this time, Mr. Daochang also seemed to understand Mr. Wang's intention, and added, if I lied to you, I would have stopped those people who were beating gongs and drums just now to leave.
Indeed, the people who run the dojo are a team. Unless there are any special accidents, they have to eat, drink, and have sex at the owner's house. How can they run away from the owner's house halfway? Not to mention whether the host’s family agrees or not, other people’s families don’t agree either. Aren’t you bringing the bad luck of the dead person to other people’s families?
But Mr. Dojo didn't stop him, which meant that this matter was beyond his expectation, and he was sure that it was no longer necessary for the dojo to continue.
Aunt Chen still didn't believe it and asked again, "Then why don't you leave?"
Mr. Dojo said, I took the photos of the people in your house. Do you think the people in your house would agree if I walked? Why don't you stay and see if you can help.
She asked Mr. Wang again, "Then why didn't you run away?"
Mr. Wang said, who said I won’t run away? When did I not run to the front? But it was still dark, so I didn’t dare to run.
The story of Mr. Wang abandoning everyone in the ancestral hall and running away has spread, so Aunt Chen naturally knows about it.
Aunt Chen didn't ask me, she just glared at me fiercely.
Mr. Wang said, don't look at him with this look. I didn't see it before, but now I know that he took away the photos of the people in your house, not to harm people, but to save them--using his own Life, save your life! Otherwise, how could anyone cast a curse on themselves to die?
When Aunt Chen heard this, she was stunned. The expression on his face changed continuously, and then he glanced at me sheepishly, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, and turned around with his daughter and went into the house to pack things.
When I saw this, I asked Mr. Wang in a low voice, is the other me really saving people?
If that were the case, then I wouldn't be so scared, but would have to thank the other me.
But Mr. Wang slapped me on the head, yelled and cursed in a low voice, saying, what the hell, if that guy was trying to save others, would he cry at the portrait?
I was stunned on the spot. Let me tell you, did you just...?
Mr. Wang said, if I don't tell you, this mother and daughter will hate you forever. If I don't live my life as I wish, I'll put all the blame on you, and then I'll do everything possible to find you, and stab you in the back. I'm afraid you won't even know you're dead.
I suddenly understood, but soon I realized another problem, so I asked Mr. Wang, why do you want to help me? Aren't you afraid that it was really me who was changing the portrait before?
Mr. Wang said, if the portrait did not shed tears, I might have doubts, but the portrait shed tears and the corpse monument is dripping, and it is not possible for a little baby with no hair to make it shed tears.
At this time, Aunt Chen's family had packed up her things and came out. She didn't have much luggage, just a bamboo-backed cage. She didn't know what was in it, but she could tell that, firstly, she didn't have anything valuable at home, and secondly, she wanted to Get out of here quickly.
According to Mr. Dojo's wish, she should leave at dawn, but she said she couldn't stay any longer and had to leave tonight.
Mr. Wang couldn't leave, so Mr. Dojo was very reluctant on the surface, but very happy in his heart and said he would send her to the town. So inside and outside the mourning hall, only Mr. Wang and I were left, as well as Chen Guzi lying in the coffin.
After I was sure that Aunt Chen was gone, I couldn't wait to ask Mr. Wang, why did you lie to her that she was a evil spirit?
Mr. Wang said angrily, if he didn't lie to her, how could he tell her that a hundred-mile corpse monument is a hundred-mile radius, and a mountain of corpses becomes a monument?
