Chapter 51: Zhongsha

After writing, the old man let me go and hurriedly left with the paper.

I hurriedly got up and walked into the main hall, but after seeing it again, it was too late.

The coffin lid was covered, and there was no sign of death at all. I sighed and just turned around and saw the old man turning in from outside again.

My mind was hot and I knelt on the ground. Seeing that there was no incense in front of the coffin and I had not pressed the paper money, I immediately pulled out three incense sticks from the side and lit them and inserted them into the apple.

As soon as I picked up the paper money and prepared to burn it, I reached out to pat my shoulder. When I looked back, I realized it was my aunt. She widened her eyes and looked at it. Just as she was about to speak, I pulled it into the main hall.

The aunt looked back and said, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you could leave after just one look? Why did you even kowtow to incense? Be kind to me?"

"The lid of the coffin is closed, and I can't do anything. The old man over there kept pulling me over and writing this and that. I don't understand what I can do?"

"I was so angry that I was so angry that I was so angry that it wasn't nine o'clock yet. Who are you burning this incense to worship?"

"No, this Aji must be worshiping Aji inside?"

"Aji is in the next room, and her mother is lying in the coffin."

After hearing what my aunt said, I immediately felt my scalp numb. I knelt down and the fragrance burned. What should I do?

My aunt sighed, sneaked up to the coffin and pulled out the incense, and started working outside. I lowered my head and walked out of the main hall to look at both sides. As soon as I turned around, the old man pulled me over again.

Just as I was about to speak, the girl next to me said, "Actually, there is no need to be afraid. Just write it casually. Look at what you were like just now, you should be Aji's friend? Is this a couplet that can express my regret for her."

What can I say?

It’s not that I don’t want to write, but I don’t know what to write about. I turned my head and looked at the room behind. When I saw it, something happened again.

My aunt only told me that Aji's body was in the next room, but she didn't tell me that she was cleaning her body. When she turned her head, she looked at the aunt's eyes. Her saliva suddenly got stuck in her throat and almost choked herself to death.

By around nine o'clock, the old man had already pasted the couplets. Eight men walked into the main hall and carried the coffin into the yard.

When the lid of the coffin was opened, a mother-in-law crawled out from inside. If this custom was placed in my hometown, it would probably scare a group of people to death.

As soon as I was about to get up, I was shouted back by the voice behind me. After listening for a long time, I still had to translate it by the girl next to me.

She said, "She means she wants you to help carry Aji into the coffin."

I nodded at her awkwardly, then got up and entered the house. At this time, Aji was wearing a Miao costume and silver jewelry on his head.

When I walked up to the front, I saw her face. Aji looked familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen it.

It may also be because she looks better, I remember it wrong. Aji's face did not look white like other dead bodies, but blue in white, while the position around her eyes that should have turned blue was black.

The more I looked, the more I became, the more I was not right. The aunt next to me patted my hand and I quickly said, "Don't worry first, go outside and bring me the incense burner."

Before they could react, I carried Aji to the bed beside me. When the others saw it, they naturally squeezed to the door.

Not long after, my aunt and the girl also walked in. The girl handed me the incense burner in her hand, but my aunt whispered, "What are you doing? You still bother her when everyone is dead?"

"No, she is not dead yet. Look, her face is just blue, not white, there is elasticity around her, and not stiff. The black eyes are caused by the Zhongsha. She is not dead, but just hitting the evil."

"Don't talk nonsense. If something happens, you have to raise Xiaodie and my mother and daughter!"

I put down the incense burner in my hand, then got up and unbuttoned the two buttons under Aji's neck. I was about to open it and see, so many people behind me could not ruin Aji's reputation.

My aunt looked at me in panic, and must have thought I would do something that I would do.

I sighed and frowned and said, "Auntie, please let everyone go out first. It's not good to see so many people. Don't worry, I won't do that. Just stay this girl, believe me."

The aunt sighed and had to turn around and do what she said. When they went out and closed the door, I took the flashlight from the side.

Back at the bed, I untied Aji's coat. The Miao girl's clothes are about wearing bellybands inside, which doesn't exist at all.

I turned on the flashlight, shone Aji's neck, and then pressed it with two fingers. People with Zhongsha will have a distinctive feature, that is, the veins next to their throats will become hard.

With two fingers, the vein would not react at all. The girl took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped my sweat.

I grabbed a pinch of incense ash from the incense burner and was about to do it myself, but I thought about it and let it go. I turned to look at the girl, and then said, "Please use this to wipe Aji's neck, belly, the outside of the ear canal, the insteps, the back of his hands, and any places that can be bent, thank you!"

The girl nodded at me. I knew she didn't understand why I did this, but I didn't have the chance to explain.

Aji has no sign of life, but he has been sealed by evil spirits. There are only a few positions that can seal the qi holes.

I turned on the flashlight, picked up the handkerchief from the basin next to me, twisted the moisture and started to wipe the place where she had applied the incense ash.

Incense ash allows me to see Aji's veins more clearly. As long as there is a blockage, the air hole will naturally be pointed.

After wiping the throat and behind the ears, the blood vessels were clearly visible and there was no blockage. I looked back at the girl and asked her to exert force more.

After searching for nearly half an hour, I found and looked at the rings under Aji's knees.

"The blood is black and there is no artery beating. That's it. Can you borrow the hairpin on your head for me?"

The girl pulled out the hairpin from her head and handed it to me. I found the right position and tugged it directly.

The black blood began to flow out slowly. After waiting for about ten seconds, Xue Ye returned to normal. I grabbed a handful of incense ash and pressed it on the wound. Then I pinched the Arhat Seal with my right hand and gently patted her forehead, chest, and belly.

After waiting for a while, Aji's breathing began to recover and his face began to slowly change back. I raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead, and asked the girl to put on Aji's clothes and opened the door.

Everyone stood outside the door and looked at it. The girl in the room smiled and said, "Aji is breathing, come and see you."
