Chapter 8 Laughing to the Old Man
The first seven.
In the morning, many family members looked very depressed. Obviously, they didn't sleep well last night.
In this early morning, many people have already got up. According to Taiwan's custom, the sealed coffin should be cremated "gold" (burial) today. However, because he wanted to attract souls, Liu Yuan asked for another day of funeral.
The family changed the offerings on the spiritual platform. Originally, the "mortery" red stickers of the neighbors (with "mortrearing" notes pasted in front of their own homes, and red pieces of paper should be pasted in front of their neighbors' houses) should have been removed today, but because there was no funeral, they could not be removed, so the family He went to his neighbor's house to apologize and said that he would wait another day to get rid of it.
Of course, the reason is to find another one. You can't tell them that "because you have to attract souls today, you can't reveal it", right?
It's night, everything to be prepared is ready, and the family is standing in front of the spirit. Liu Yuan inserted the newly found soul flag into the ground, cut out a human figure with a yellow charm, sprinkled chicken blood, and placed it next to the road.
This way of summoning souls is called "cutting paper summoning souls", which is the oldest way to attract souls. As early as the Warring States Period, Song Yu and others used this method to attract souls for Qu Yuan. However, the means must be very different from today's "paper summoning".
At this time, it was more than two o'clock in the second half of the night.
Three o'clock in the morning is the worst time for ghosts, and it is most appropriate to attract souls at this time.
Don't explore the East Road! There are thousands of elders who specialize in leaving people's souls. Don't go west! Three thousand miles of flowing sand, water is not available. Don't go south! There are nine male dragons, which can eat people's hearts. Don't expect to patrol the north! A hundred feet of ice, endless snow. Soul, come back! The soul is back!"
Liu Yuan stood in front of the gate of the spiritual hall, ringing the bell with his hand, repeatedly praising the soul, while staring at the yellow rune paper man beside the road.
When the clock was about to enter three o'clock, the paper man suddenly rose up.
"There are two hours from now until five o'clock. Please hurry up and remember not to cry."
As soon as Liu Yuan's voice fell, a cloudy wind blew through the gate, and the ghost of the third aunt was clearly visible.
It is said that they are not afraid, but when they really see ghosts, everyone still trembling.
Grandma had already burst into tears and couldn't speak, and Hu Su was not strong enough to go anywhere, so when the third aunt's ghost stood down, the third uncle walked over first.
He wanted to hug his third aunt, but he didn't catch anything in his hands, so he hugged him so emptyly, as if the third aunt with flesh and blood stood beside him.
"Alian," he said with a smile, "You left too early. I don't know when I can keep up with you. Thank you so much for your lover and let me meet you.
I don't know what to say to you, but there are so many things I want to say. I remember that I was not promising at that time, and you were so beautiful. When you accepted my pursuit, I really woke up with a smile in my dreams.
Every night when you go back to our cabin, you will open the door for me with a smile, help me change into slippers, and then give me the soup to drink. How can I marry such a virtuous wife? You said that you are a very happy person, but I feel that even you, even people all over the world, are not happy with me.
I remember that I was hit by a car at work in the morning. When you rushed to the hospital, even my shoes ran away. I was wrapped in gauze like a mummy. Isn't it funny? You keep crying and blame yourself for not taking good care of me. What does this have to do with you? I was careless. But at that time, I swore in my heart that I would live carefully and live to be 100 years old. I will take good care of you.
I didn't expect that I was still alive, so you left first.
It's a pity that I didn't leave a child before you died. This is my fault. I'm always too busy and don't have much time to spend with you.
Alian, you know, I'm not very good at talking, stupid, or the big stupid elephant. Even if I can only see you for the last time like today, I don't know what to say to say goodbye. My mind is full of our past days, over and over again.
Alian, A Yuan said that I couldn't cry when I saw you, so I wouldn't cry. I know you must also want me to talk to you with a smile, right?
Alian, you are over there, you should be fine, and I am here, and you should also be fine. If there is an afterlife, if I am still as lucky as I am in this life, Alian, will you still let me be your husband, okay?
Aunt Lian didn't say anything, just stood expressionless.
He muttered his third aunt's name over and over again, telling the past scene by scene.
Hu Su finally put himself back his tears and walked to his third aunt with a smile.
"Third aunt, I'm Su Su. I came to see you.
Third aunt, you didn't come to get married. I was still angry with you at that time, but forget it. I don't care about adults. I forgive you. I also brought him to show you today. Am I okay?
Third aunt, his name is Liu Yuan. He is a very good man. He is very kind to me and very capable. It is my husband's ability to see you today! He can do a lot of spells, make a lot of money, and take me around to play and eat delicious food. Third aunt, do you envy me?
Grandma's diabetes has happened again, and my mother has to send her back for treatment, otherwise she will definitely come today. I hope you don't be angry. My family is very good. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them. I can't, and my husband!
You always say that I'm not big, and I'm crazy. Well, in fact, I think so, but I also think that stupid people have stupid blessings! Look, the third uncle was so stupid that he found such a great wife as you. I was also stupid and found such a great husband, so I don't think it's bad to be stupid, right?
I don't know when I will come here after leaving Taiwan this time, but I will definitely remember that no matter where I am, I will often worship you.
Third aunt, if you have any trouble over there, or lack of food and clothing, just tell me. I won't be afraid. I have a husband by my side. You must tell me and I will send it to you here.
Third aunt, I can't talk to you anymore. I'm afraid I can't help crying.
Liu Yuan knew that the soul at this time had no perception. When everyone talked to her, she would not react, but she also stepped forward.
"Third aunt, my name is Liu Yuan, and I'm Susu's husband.
At this time, Susu often tells me about you and tells me about you when she was a child. Thank you very much for taking care of Susu for so many years. Now that Susu has grown up and graduated from college, she is also very beautiful. She is an excellent girl. It is my blessing to marry her.
I will take good care of her in the future. Please rest assured.
......
Every family took advantage of this last opportunity to say goodbye to Aunt Lian until the five drums and chickens crowed, and the light in the sky had slowly reincarnated the earth.
No one cried in front of Aunt Lian and kept laughing, chatting with Aunt Lian like a family. Until Aunt Lian's shadow gradually became illusory and slowly disappeared from the sight of everyone.
At this time, sadness finally burst out, and intermittent crying began to permeate the morning sky. Only the third uncle was still standing there telling an unfinished story.
The deceased is gone, and the living are now.
I believe that Aunt Lian will leave safely and happily when she sees everyone smiling and telling her their thoughts to her.
Covering the coffin, the familydian, the publicdian, and the funeral, seven days later, Aunt Lian went to the earth to settle down.
I have been in Taiwan for eight days, and it's time to leave.
Originally, Liu Yuan wanted to take Hu Su to take a walk in Taiwan again to make her calm down, but his daughter-in-law didn't want to stay in Taiwan for a moment, so she had to book a plane ticket for the day and prepare for the return trip.
Before leaving, Liu Yuan called Bai Ye.
"Little Leaf, I'm going back to the mainland today."
There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time.
"Ayuan", it was Bai Bo who spoke again.
"Ah, Uncle Bai, I called Xiao Yezi and asked her to tell you and Uncle Fang that my family and I will return to the mainland today."
"Okay, go back, go to the mainland, help me say hello to my relatives over there, and say that we are very grateful to them for cultivating such an excellent young man."
"Baku, you are flattered. You should also pay more attention to your health. I wish you two long lives.
"No problem, no problem! Lao Fang and I can eat and sleep these days. It must be no problem to live to 100 years old!"
"Haha, it seems that I won't say anything. Let's wish the two old man live to 200 years old!"
"Haha! That won't become a 'human spirit'! Yuan, Xiaoyezi ran to that room and cried so much that he stopped talking to you. Uncle is here to wish you a safe journey. Call him when he is free and talk about new things in the mainland.
"I will, Uncle."
"Ayuan! I miss you!!!" At the other end of the phone, there was suddenly a cry from Bai Ye.
Liu Yuan had no reason, and his heart throbbed.
......
The plane gradually rose to the sky of Kaohsiung. Both Liu Yuan and Hu Su were worried and said nothing more.
"Wow!" Hu Su took a breath.
"Brother Yuan, thank you."
"Stupid girl, we still need to talk about this."
"It's much easier to see my third aunt for the last time."
"Oh, that's good. Susu, I also have one thing to tell you.
Liu Yuan felt that it was better to confess and leniency with his daughter-in-law.
So the eight-day experience in Taiwan will be told to Hu Suting.
"I thought you really ate it! What is this! Is it true that a girl likes my husband that my husband is excellent and that Hu Su's vision is not wrong!"
Ah? Is this the result? Liu Yuan has been ready for thunder, rain and dew, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly!
"Brother Yuan, is that girl as beautiful as me?"
"Hmm... No!"
Otherwise!
"Is he as tall as me?"
"No." This is really not.
"Is my chest big?" Hu Su whispered in Liu Yuan's ear.
"Big, a little bigger."
"Hmm, I knew it! You must have fallen in love with other people's big breasts, right? Stinky man!"
Liu Yuan sighed speechlessly. It seems that the careless girl has not been born yet!
