I went with Chen Dongfang to seal the coffin of Grandpa San. The coffin was only a few pieces of Grandpa San's usual clothes. I only returned home after finishing this. When I got home, Han Xue was already asleep. I didn't bother her, but waded on the sand alone. For such a long time, I had never felt so scared. The clan leader of the Chen family was alive to guard the Dragon Head Monument, and after death, even the body was pulled away by those paper people. This was the meaning of not letting go after death.

I smoked one by one, and my head was full of Chen Dongfang's words: "As long as you get involved in this matter, no one can escape, and no one will have a good ending. This is fate."

This sentence even made me feel cold and suffocated than those paper people.

The third grandfather was hanged and Uncle Zhuzi was burned to death. Twenty-three years ago, my father was skinned and died. The body of the ancestors of the Chen family, the ancestors of all generations, was taken away after their deaths. These people seemed to confirm Chen Dongfang's statement that they could not die well, and even if they died, they would not be at peace.

I kept thinking about whether it was worth it. I even thought, if my elder brother came back, I would still be my village official in Fudigou. Although my life was boring, it was peaceful. However, after my elder brother came back, although it was thrilling all the way, it enriched my life. At the same time, it made me fall into this vortex. Is it worth it?

Or, is there any choice for me?

I just sat there for a night, and I couldn't fall asleep. As long as I closed my eyes, all the scenes I had experienced recently appeared in front of me. The fool in the shroud pulled open his bloody chest. The green little drought bark had a pair of black eyes, including those paper men who sacrificed to their ancestors, could actually carry the coffin.

Until I heard the sound of suona outside, which was the suona team Chen Dongfang found for Grandpa's funeral team. It started to play early in the morning, and my mother also got up early and bought two bundles of burnt paper back and said to me: "Although our surname is Ye but not Chen, Grandpa Third has been nice to you since childhood. Go and see off Grandpa Third. Alas, it's a pretty person, but it's gone."

After saying that, my mother glanced at the cigarette butt on the floor and sighed: "You kid, haven't you been sleeping all night?"

"I took a while in the afternoon, but I couldn't sleep at night. Mom, I'll go burn paper for my third grandfather." After that, I took the burn paper from my mother, grabbed it and went out.

Grandpa’s funeral is an ordinary funeral for the elderly in rural areas. There is no special show except for the prestige of Grandpa’s three. This is just like the whole village now, perhaps no one knows that Chen Dongfang is an extremely powerful person in Shanghai. From this point of view, Chen Dongfang is a very low-key person. If it were someone else’s family, most people would pay attention to their momentum.

After I went there, I was also covered with a white turban. Among the people who were attending the funeral, people from other surnames were not unable to attend the funeral, but they could not go to sacrifice on the way to the funeral. When the time came, everyone would set up the coffin together, and the funeral team would start. The location of the third grandfather's grave was in the Chen family's ancestral graveyard, next to the third grandfather's father.

The funeral procession will stop at the intersection, and at this time the altar will be placed, and the third grandfather's relatives will cry. Everything will go smoothly before. Just at the last intersection of the village, when the coffin is about to be lifted after the crying spirit is over, an accident suddenly arises. The hemp rope wrapped in the coffin suddenly breaks. Several young men carrying the coffin stagger, and the coffin also fell to the ground, causing dust to fly on the ground.

The child's arms with a hemp rope foot were as thick as the thickness of the arm, how could he not be able to withstand an empty coffin? Because of the recent incident, I suddenly had an unknown premonition and thought that this would not be a bad sign, right?

Whether it is a funeral or a happy event in the countryside, there will be a chief in charge. This is usually done by the more prestigious people in the family. In the past, the third grandfather was the one who was doing this. This time, Mr. Chen Jiu from the village was the ninth. Mr. Jiu was the youngest in the third grandfather's generation. He is nearly seventy years old today. After the coffin landed, everyone was in an uproar. Mr. Jiu stood up and sprinkled a handful of paper money and said, "It is good to bury today. There is no taboo. Hurry up and change the rope and get the coffin."

Such a thick rope is actually not easy to find. When everyone found the rope and wanted to tie the coffin again, the sky was originally clear and dark clouds became dense in the blink of an eye, and then there was even more thunder, and there was no time to react. The pouring heavy rain fell down.

"The elderly, women and children go home to shelter from the rain. The men continue to walk. Hurry up and drop the coffin. Don't miss the time to delay the third brother's journey and get the coffin!" Jiu Ye said after consulting Chen Dongfang's meaning.

First, the rope broke, and then the weather suddenly changed my face. My ominous feeling became stronger. Originally, I was behind the funeral team. At this time, when I was lifting the coffin, I walked to Chen Dongfang and whispered: "Uncle Dongfang, something is wrong, what's going on?"

Chen Dongfang's face was also not good-looking. He shook his head and looked up at the sky. The heavy rain instantly wet his glasses. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard of any situation. Let's go. After a person dies, as long as the grave is raised, nothing will happen."

I asked, "Do I need to call the fat man? He is an expert in this field, maybe he has any insights."

"It's too late." Chen Dongfang said.

After all, this is someone else's family business. After Chen Dongfang said this, I was embarrassed to say something. But the weather at this time made me feel a little nervous. After I returned to the funeral procession, I suddenly remembered that although the fat man was guarding Uncle Zhuzi in Luoyang at this time, why did I forget that my elder brother was close to me? It was only a few minutes away from Sanlitun.

I quietly called my elder brother. My elder brother answered quickly. I said to the phone: "Brother, I saw what happened last night. I am on the funeral journey, but the rope that was tied with the coffin just now suddenly broke. Now it's pouring rain again. I always feel that this is a bad sign. There won't be anything wrong, right?"

The eldest brother paused on the other side of the phone and said, "Don't worry about the Chen family."

After saying that, the elder brother hung up the phone.

I was a little embarrassed after hanging up the phone. Although my elder brother said this, it was quite cold, but it was not unreasonable. People like Chen Dongfang must be much smarter than me. He felt that it was okay. Why am I worried about here? For example, Chen Dongfang was not going to let me see what happened last night. If it weren't for my elder brother's words, maybe I would never know about it. This means that people must have their own ideas, that is, I am a fool, and I have no mind. What's more, it's normal for the weather to change suddenly in summer. I can't think about everything in terms of feudal superstition.

After I persuaded myself, I didn't care about so many funeral teams and went to the Chen family's ancestral graveyard. After I got here, the rain stopped. The summer weather was similar to the woman's face, and she changed as soon as she said it. After arriving there, although the ground was muddy, everyone fell to their knees. In fact, after the heavy rain just now, everyone's clothes were soaked.

The grave was dug by several young people in the village early in the morning. At this time, the entire grave was filled with water from the rainstorm, so the coffin could not be put on the ground. After looking at the time, Jiu Ye said to Chen Dongfang: "Dongfang, the time is coming soon. It will be too late to wait until the water seeps down. Why don't we go down and pick out the water?"

Chen Dongfang nodded. The young young people didn't care much about it. They took a shovel and went down to the grave with a shovel and used a shovel to lift the water from the grave out.

But after a few strokes, a young man suddenly picked out a snake with a shovel. The young man was startled and squatted in the grave. It didn't matter if he squatted down, he immediately screamed again. When he stood up, he grabbed two more snakes in his hand.

At this time, everyone retreated one after another, and the young people who were digging water in the grave had already run out in panic. When I saw this situation, I thought to myself that something was wrong with him? I hurried over and take a look.

When I got there, I stretched out my head and saw that the grave was densely filled with snakes.

Among them, there was a snake arched in the middle by a group of snakes like stars arching the moon. This snake was very thick. We had never seen such a big snake here, like a python on a TV.

This snake is not afraid of people.
