"What's so good about this? It's so scary. It's better to watch the girls setting off firecrackers."
The table was filled with offerings, including several kinds of fruits, a variety of candies and cakes, and a piece of unopened braised pork.
A big square piece, placed in a big bowl.
It's laid out, now all we have to do is wait.
Xie Linan checked the time and said to Ye Xiaozhen, "There's still half an hour left."
Ye Xiaozhen nodded and took out the candles and paper money.
Xie Linan found a bamboo pole and hung the cannon on it.
The villagers gathered around and talked, and their talk was nothing more than the love-hate relationship between our family.
Just as we were getting ready, an unexpected guest arrived.
Ye Xiaozhen hasn't seen her aunt for a long time.
"Hello, Hello. I knew you were coming today."
Ye Xiaozhen frowned, thinking that she didn't remember any relationship between her and her aunt, what was she doing here?
She was sweating all over and it looked like she had set out before daybreak.
"I'm here to see my eldest sister off for the last leg of her journey."
I thought to myself, this person has been dead for more than 20 years, why should I give him a gift?
Seeing that Ye Xiaozhen ignored her, she didn't get angry either. She just took out a handkerchief and started crying in front of Zheng Xiaoqin's grave.
"My dear sister, you have a miserable life!"
"If a man doesn't fight for power, he'll find a wild woman and still make you angry!"
"You are a good person, good people don't live long!"
"The enemy wants to be shot, I have a message for you!"
"Don't let her go, beat her to death!"
"Jin has grown up, don't worry about her!"
"Your elder brother is here, she's just waiting behind..."
My aunt stood in front of Zheng Xiaoqin's grave and sang with full expression.
He wiped away his tears one by one, as if he was really crying.
I don't know where she got so many words from. She sang and cried for half an hour without repeating a single word.
Many old ladies in the village were actually moved to tears by the song.
Ye Xiaozhen was confused. She had heard that people in the countryside would cry when someone died.
It is not enough to just cry, but you have to sing while crying, singing about the life of the deceased.
This kind of unnatural death has to comfort her enemies' fate.
But it was the first time Ye Xiaozhen saw it, and she was shocked.
It's finally eleven o'clock.
Xie Linan talked to Ye Xiaozhen, and Ye Xiaozhen lit up the candles and paper money.
Then go set off firecrackers.
Then my aunt sang even more vigorously, crying and shouting. The sound and the scene made it seem like she was about to faint from crying.
The sound of firecrackers could not be suppressed.
Seeing her condition, Ye Xiaozhen wanted to go up and persuade her several times.
Grandma Liu also told her: "Your aunt looks like a professional mourner. It's okay, let her cry. This is a good thing. Your mother will be relieved to be reincarnated after hearing this."
Well, every place has its own customs and we have to respect them.
After the firecrackers were set off and Ye Xiaozhen and Xie Linan had finished bowing, the sound from my aunt suddenly stopped.
She seemed to be dying just now, but suddenly she stood up, her tears flowed freely, and her whole person changed.
"Okay, I've already told your mother. Now she can rest assured and go to reincarnation."
She came up and started crying, and when she was done crying, Ye Xiaozhen didn't know what to say for a moment.
Then I heard her say, "Your uncle wanted to come, but he can't leave the village now. Your grandmother suddenly woke up a few days ago and asked about your mother. We told her. Now there is news that the murderer is going to be shot. Let me come over to sing a song and tell your mother."
oh.
"Alas!" She suddenly sighed and said, "I've thought about it these days. We are really sorry for your mother. As a relative, she died in a strange way, but we didn't tell her. And we didn't care about you all these years."
Ye Xiaozhen didn't know whether her aunt really repented or was just talking about it.
After thinking for a while, she asked, "What happened then?"
"When I changed your mother's shroud, her neck was broken and hung down. It was obvious that something was wrong. I told your uncles at the time. Your uncle called your father in and asked why he was not coming back. He knelt on the ground and said that your mother fell off the bed and broke her neck.
When he said this, he had a deposit slip in his hand and handed it directly to your grandfather. I didn't see how much money was in it, but your grandfather kept it and told us that people are dead, and there is no need to find out how they died. People still have to live, and you still need to be supported by others.
I told your father directly at that time that we could let it go, but he had to raise you well, otherwise we would come to make trouble. Your father agreed, and we went back after your mother was buried. I know so much, and I am like this. "
Her words were all excuses for what our family did back then.
Ye Xiaozhen also heard the meaning, saying that when someone dies, we have to consider the living.
The living person you are referring to is Yeh-jen?
The so-called deal means that Ye Zhengguo should take good care of Ye Xiao, otherwise he will not let her go. Is that what it means?
However, Ye Zhengguo and Sun Qing said in court that they were afraid of ghosts and worried that Zheng Xiaoqin's ghost would come to trouble her.
Another said 놆 guilty.
My wife had just passed away at that time, so I still had some feelings for her.
So now, everyone has their own opinion.
Ye 께zhen doesn’t believe anyone now.
My aunt said it was for the sake of the living, but we took Ye Zhengguo's money, and it was not a small amount, otherwise the old man would not have let us go so easily.
On the one hand, she said that the deal was to let Ye Zhengguo take good care of Ye Xiaozhen, but on the other hand, she didn't believe it if it was done for Ye Xiaozhen's sake.
Because I really love her, I would not have not visited her for more than 20 years.
People are stupid and no one knows.
Even if a person dies, we still won't know it.
Take the money. Take the money. And you still say so much. It's annoying.
Fortunately, my aunt didn't bother me, and she left after the matter was over.
The tributes were not taken back but given directly to the villagers.
They all had some fruits to eat, and the children liked them very much.
When we left the village, we saw brother and sister Ye Xiaochun and Ye Xiaoqiang coming back from the direction of the town.
They had black cloth strips on their arms, and it seemed that Sun Qing was dead.
They looked at Ye Xiaozhen and his wife, and Ye Xiaozhen and his wife also looked at them. No one said a word and they just passed by each other tacitly.
As soon as they returned, they were surrounded by villagers.
"What happened? Was Sun Qing really shot dead?"
"Where did you get shot? In the chest, neck, or head?"
"Is there a lot of blood? Will it splash out?"
"Hey, if you want to make a fool of yourself, your brains will fly out, right?"
Everyone was talking at once, making the two of them very angry.
"Get out, all of you."
The two of them looked like they were ready to fight the whole village.
The villagers are numerous, so they are not afraid of us.
Someone said: "It's really like a bad apple spoils the whole pot of soup. Our village has been safe and sound for decades, but a murderer from your family appeared."
