C2 Dead Eyes

Her steps were very loud, but it was already too late. The red coffin had already opened, and under the light of the lamp, a green face stuck out the coffin. He gave me a weird smile. That face was the wide-eyed corpse I had seen at the fish pond. Why was he here? And it was still inside the coffin?

I screamed, and at the same time I thought I heard a scream in my ear, but after that scream I felt a lot more relaxed on my shoulders.

The third matron shouted, "Dust to dust, dust to dust, there are paths in this world, there are dark paths in this world …" The Blood Orchid Lantern in her hand self-ignited. Even though we were so far away, I could smell the burnt flesh. She walked around the coffin. Then, a blood-red liquid dripped from the lantern onto the surface of the coffin. Bang! The coffin was closed again, and by the light of the remaining fire I could see that the orchid, which had been white, had regained its blood-red hue.

"Alright, let's go!" She came over and pulled me up from the ground, but I noticed that her warm hands had turned as cold as mine, as if she had lost a great deal of spirit. She took a flashlight from her pocket. The strange thing was, under the light of the lantern, the coffin in front of them had disappeared. What was going on?

"Third Aunt …"

"Don't talk, hurry up and go! Go and inform your grandfather, that blood orchid won't be able to hold on for long! " Third Mother quickly pulled me towards the north side of the village.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any other strange occurrences. From afar, they saw a large shed, which was made of colored steel. It was probably built to deal with my grandma's back affairs.

"Are you alright? Xiao Yu is back? " A few middle-aged men walked over. They were all from the village and could be considered to be my elders.

"Where's big brother?" The Third Mother entered the house and looked around.

"Eldest Uncle went out. When the Daoist Priest was reciting, Eldest Aunt's coffin was shaking. Eldest Uncle said something and told us not to leave the house before dawn. Then, we put on our raincoats and left." This is Uncle Shen, the son of my Second Foreign Minister's family.

I looked at the rest of the people in the room and they all had serious expressions. No wonder I said there were so many people here, why didn't we start the training hall?

The Third Madam didn't say anything. When she heard that her grandmother's coffin was shaking, she walked quickly to the front of the coffin. Normally, I would have gone and kowtowed, but everyone in the room had forgotten about it, including me.

"Why did the lamp go out?" The third matron's words attracted everyone's attention.

"Wait, it was still burning just now. Hurry! "Hurry up and light it." Uncle Shen took out his lighter and was about to light the wick inside the oil bowl, but the lighter just couldn't burn.

"I'll do it!" Fourth Uncle also took out his lighter. His lighter was alright, but it was windproof. It was immediately lit, but it was unable to ignite the lamp wick no matter how hard it was lit.

"Is it the oil?"

"I don't think so. This is the vegetable oil that I fried before. Do you want to try a bowl of it?"

The vegetable oil was very fragrant, it had indeed been fried. Then, they threw in a thread of cotton to soak in the oil. Fourth Uncle went to get some more, and even though the cotton had been burnt red, there was still no light.

"I was looking around, but I didn't see my mother. Where did she go?" Third Madam, where's my mother? "

"That's right, who saw the embroidery lady?" Everyone was still tossing and turning the bowl of lamp oil. The three women were also looking around like me, but they didn't see anyone.

"He was here just now. Where is he?" Uncle Shen stood up and also started searching. There were only about ten people in the room, so they easily discovered that she had disappeared.

"Enough, stop tormenting yourself. Burn the paper, burn more paper for the aunt, and light a red candle in place of the lamp!" "Ji Feng, go find someone!" The three women decisively gave their orders.

Only then did I remember that these Third Aunt and my grandfather were very close to each other, and they often went out together. When I was young, I often asked my grandmother why my grandfather didn't take my grandmother out with him, and my grandmother said that they went out to do business together, but my grandmother didn't, so my grandmother took my grandson with her.

From the looks of it, what she did with my grandfather was definitely not a normal matter. Otherwise, how would she know how to deal with the red coffin?

"Hold on, bring the mine lamp and go with the lantern!" Just as Uncle Shen was about to go out, the Third Aunt called him to stop and personally found the same bloody orchid lantern behind the door. It was quite strange, as Uncle Four had just lit the lamp on one side and lit the wick inside the bowl.

I wanted to go too, but Third Mother held me back, so I stayed there, my head wrapped in a white veil, my waist wrapped in hemp, my arms wrapped in black cloth, kneeling in front of Grandma's coffin and burning paper. Here, this is called Dai Xiao. When a filial child arrives at home, he must be vigilant, so I can't go there for the time being. I knelt for a while, my legs feeling numb. Fourth Uncle brought me a small stool and told me to sit down to continue burning paper.

The Third Aunt said that they would not be using the training hall for the night, so the room was quiet for a while.

"Sanniang, who was that body inside the red coffin?" Seeing that it was very quiet and that everyone was already napping, I felt a little uneasy. Thus, I found a place to talk.

"What?" You saw something inside the red coffin? " The three women were shocked! "It's over, this is going to be troublesome. From now on, you have to be next to me and your grandfather. You're not allowed to go anywhere!" Everyone pricked up their ears and looked at us curiously.

"I saw the body on the way!" As for that sexy scene, I don't have the nerve to say it.

"Ah?" "Where is it?" The three women were surprised.

"It's by the fish pond in Yao Jia Bay!" Even though I was nervous, I still wanted to know who the body was.

Just as she finished speaking, her grandmother's coffin suddenly began to shake violently, as if it was about to fall off the stool she had struck.

"Quick, quick!" Hold onto the coffin, don't ever fall to the ground. " Fourth Uncle and a few others immediately pressed down the coffin. I also curiously walked over, but Third Aunt pulled me back and stood by the side, just as she was mumbling something. She took out a handful of incense and placed it in the pile of paper money.

It was unknown if it was because of the fragrance or for some other reason, but the coffin did not move at all. But I don't know if it was an illusion or something. I felt something on my shoulder, something that made my shoulder ache. I reached out and touched my shoulder. There was nothing there.

I just changed into clean clothes and got warm at this time. Did I catch a cold from the heavy rain? I didn't think too much about it. At this moment, I felt a little sleepy.

"How about this, let's have a simple ceremony and bring the filial children to see their appearances." A middle-aged man dressed in Daoist robes walked over to discuss with the three women, who nodded.

A few of the Taoists started chanting, rang the gong, and began to circle the room. Even though I was about to squint, I hurried to follow.

"Zheng …" Under the light of the lamp, I could see my grandmother's face. Her expression was very serene, but her face was swollen, thinking about how she was normally good to me, my nose would start tearing up at the thought of how we were separated by the heavens. I thought back to the last time when Grandmother helped me pack up, and also repeatedly reminded me to be careful of my body …

I lay on the coffin and cried bitterly. In my tears, I suddenly found that her eyes had suddenly opened and that her blood-red eyes were looking at me. She smiled strangely and scared me so much that I took a few steps back.

"She's opened her eyes and is still laughing!" Then I threw myself on top of the coffin, rubbed my eyes, and looked. They all gathered around to see, but it was the same. She was just lying there quietly, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, so I reached out to touch her. Fourth Uncle slapped my hand back.

"It's best not to disturb the ancestors. Just take a look, where can you touch them?" Fourth Uncle helped me back to my seat and said, "Third Aunt, Xiao Yu might be too tired. Should we let him rest?"

"Alright then. Bring him a blanket and let him lie here for a while. I'm a bit worried about him." There was a hint of meaning in Third Aunt's words. Her face was grave and her wrinkled face was now even more wrinkled.

I was lying on the three madame's body in a daze. I vaguely heard the appearance of my ghost father, the appearance of the embroidery lady but she still hadn't come back, what had my uncle done, and so on.

I don't know when I suddenly opened my eyes, but it was already broad daylight. The three women looked at me benevolently, but there was pity in their eyes.

"Is my mother back?" I asked my mother the first thing I said, but I was worried about her and didn't know what would happen to her.

"Third Aunt, I've looked for her before and after our village, but I can't find her." At this time, Uncle Shen walked in from the outside. He was covered in mud and looked very tired.

"Rest first and wait for your uncle to come back!" The three women were unperturbed, as if they had already expected such an outcome.

I felt a little lighter now, but I didn't have time to worry about my mother's questions, because there were a lot of people outside, and the rain had also been heard, and it was clear that they had set up the stove and started to cook breakfast, and that was all for the funeral in our village, and every family came to help, and a lot of people came running in to greet me, and I thanked them one by one.

The Third Aunt was always behind me, not even half a step behind. I was a little puzzled, why was she following me around during the day?

"Third Aunt, it's bad. Something big has happened!" A young man ran in. This is my big brother, a child from Uncle Shen's family, he grew up playing with me.

"Calm down and speak properly. What is it?" The third matron looked as if she hated the fact that she had failed.

"Yao Family Bay … "Yao Family's Bay has a man dead, he died very miserably …"
