When the news of my grandfather's death reached me, I was in the city a few hundred kilometers away, studying. By the time I got home, the mourning hall had already been set up, and my grandfather was in his coffin.
The first thing he did when he returned home was to take another look at his grandfather.
I cried out loud and asked my dad if he had fallen asleep. Tomorrow, he would wake up and it would cause everyone to be sad, causing them to cry.
At night, Second Uncle and I will keep watch. In the mourning hall, Second Uncle told me about Grandfather. As we talked, everyone couldn't help being worried.
Every half an hour, I would add incense to the fire. The most important thing for a spirit guard to do was not to let the incense go out of the way and to prevent cats from entering the mourning hall. According to the older generation, cats could extort corpses from the dead.
At two in the morning, I went to add fuel to the fire, and couldn't help but look at Grandfather once more. However, I discovered to my horror that Grandfather's expression had changed; his previously ruddy and serene expression had now turned green and black. Most importantly, Grandfather's expression had become ferocious and painful, as if he was having a nightmare.
I screamed at Second Uncle to come over, and Second Uncle's face couldn't help but to change, but he comforted me, saying that this was a normal change, and telling me not to make a fuss over it.
Then he went to get a towel, dipped it in hot water, and applied it on his grandfather's face. After applying it for a while, his grandfather's complexion returned to normal.
It was only then that I remembered, my grandfather was always in good health, how could he suddenly die without any warning. Why is he doing this?
I asked Second Uncle, but was scolded by him, and told me not to ask anymore, grandfather left already.
I wanted to ask my father, but I saw that my father was already asleep. He is the eldest son, and has a lot of work to do, so he hasn't slept for two or three days. Tomorrow is the funeral, so he went to sleep.
The next morning at 6 o'clock, it was the auspicious hour for them to climb the mountain. Feng Shui had arrived early.
The ones carrying the coffins were the young men of the village. They were all in their twenties, so they were able to carry two to three hundred kilograms of coffins.
"Get up!" Mr. Feng Shui shouted. The firecrackers at the door started crackling. The four young men simultaneously let out a "heh" sound and then picked up the coffin.
"Get out!" Feng Shui continued to call out.
The coffin bearers started to walk towards the door, but just as they were about to leave, the four of them swayed a little and saw that the coffin was about to fall.
Feng Shui changed his expression, giving off the impression that someone was using a wooden chair to cushion the coffin, and he was the first to descend.
"Does the old gramps still have any unfulfilled desires? He's not leaving!" Feng Shui said to us.
"Father, if you have anything to say, just leave it to me. Now, you can leave the city in peace. Don't miss the time, where am I?" Both my father and Second Uncle immediately knelt down and started crying.
After crying for a while, Feng Shui ordered someone to give it a try, but they couldn't get out of the house. After crying for a while, Feng Shui asked someone to give it a try, but they couldn't get out of the house either.
So Mr. Feng Shui had someone open the coffin lid, let's ask the old man if he still has any more wishes.
However, when the coffin's lid was opened, everyone cried out in alarm, because just like yesterday, his grandfather's face turned green and black. However, when the coffin's lid was opened, everyone cried out, because his grandfather's face turned green and black like yesterday.
A dead man cries. Looking at this scene, Feng Shui Mr. panicked a little. As the saying goes, if you're not afraid of death laughing, you're afraid of death crying. This … this might cause a Corpse Transformation.
"There's something! There's something on my grandfather's stomach!" My eyes were sharp. When I saw that my grandfather's belly was a bit bulging, it seemed as if he had hidden something. I immediately cried out in fear.
My dad stood up, reached out his hand and ripped open his grandfather's large birthday suit. "Clang!" A long sharp knife fell out from his grandfather's clothes, it looked like a pig slaughtering knife. A wound was left on his grandfather's stomach, and black blood was slowly flowing out.
Feng Shui immediately became furious after seeing this, he roared at my father and the Second Uncle, asking them if they have gone crazy, and whether this blade could also be casually placed in a coffin.
But Second Uncle and my father looked at each other. Grandfather's birthday suit was personally worn by them, how could they put a knife there?
At this time, Feng Shui didn't have the time to teach my father and Second Uncle a lesson, because going out to the mountains has its time, we must not miss it. So, he hurriedly brought a towel and wiped off the black blood on his wound, laid down his birthday suit, and used a hot towel to cover his face, only then did his grandfather's complexion return to normal.
"Get out!" After closing the coffin, Feng Shui called out again. The four young men went to carry the coffin. This time, they were able to lift it up.
The coffin went out the door and headed up the mountain. We followed behind, but when it came to the earth, Feng Shui told us to come back first.
On the way home, I asked my father and Second Uncle what happened to the knife, why it was in the coffin, or why it was stuck in my grandfather's stomach.
My father and Second Uncle trembled at the same time, but they didn't answer my question. Instead, they quickened their pace and returned home.
After returning home, Second Uncle and my father started to get busy, because there were still a lot of guests to take care of, so they didn't have the time to look for me.
I was curious about the knife, but I couldn't find it.
In the evening, I went to bed early. I was very tired and wanted to sleep.
"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang!" While I was sleeping, I heard someone call me.
I opened my eyes and was immediately shocked because my grandfather was standing in front of me. He was wearing a large life jacket, but there was a knife stuck in his stomach. I recognized it. It was the knife in the coffin.
"Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong? Tell me!" I cried out. I didn't want to see my grandpa die in such pain.
Grandfather's expression was the same as his face in the coffin. His face was green and black, and his expression was twisted by pain. Grandfather painfully reached out to grab the blade before slowly pulling it out and handing it over to me.
I reached out my hand to catch the knife, but just as I was about to touch it, my grandfather suddenly groaned in pain. His hand went soft, and the knife fell to the ground with a clang.
"Grandpa!" I cried out and walked forward, but my body felt weightless. "Peng", my head hit the ground. It hurt so much. I opened my eyes and found that I had fallen off the bed.
"Were you dreaming just now?" I said to myself, but when I got up, I was stunned because the knife was at the head of my bed.
"This, this," I suddenly felt frightened, I couldn't hold it in anymore, so I picked up my blade and asked my father and Second Uncle what happened, how did they die, and why were they not willing to tell me.
When my father and Second Uncle heard my question, their expressions couldn't help but change. After that, they impatiently scolded me, telling me to mind my own business.
My father and Second Uncle's attitude made me very angry. I didn't know why they were hiding it from me, but wasn't I a part of this family?
So I told them loudly, last night, my grandpa gave me a dream, in which my grandpa was still in pain, maybe because I can't find the reason, my grandpa will continue to be in pain.
Grandfather gave me a dream. My father was very shocked. His eyes widened, but soon after, his soul left his body. Grandpa did not give a dream to his son. Instead, he gave a dream to his grandson, making him feel at a loss.
"Peng!" However, the Second Uncle slammed the table with all his might, his face ashen as he roared, "You've gone too far, we've gone too far. Brother, what are you waiting for? Go and take revenge for Father!"
Second Uncle rushed back into the room after he finished shouting, but he immediately came out again with a hunting rifle in his hand. He walked out of the room with large strides.
"Come back, don't go!" My father shouted, but Second Uncle was like an angry leopard, not listening at all.
My father stomped his feet in anger, grabbed a firewood knife and chased after them. When I saw that the Second Uncle and my father had a foolish reaction, I reacted and quickly chased after them.
Second Uncle rushed forward with a hunting rifle. It was only on the way did I remember that the direction that Second Uncle was going towards was the same direction as the direction that my grandfather's funeral was heading towards the mountain.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I could already see my grandfather's grave. The sight of my grandfather's grave immediately made me angry, because I had seen a black pig digging out my grandfather's grave.
