Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 112 The Funeral
Whoo~!

I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence, or if people really turn into souls after death.

While Wang Chen and Zhang Tong were chanting in low voices, a breeze suddenly blew up in the originally hot night.

As we all know, in late summer, even the wind at night is mostly warm.

But at this moment, it was the cool breeze that blew over their faces.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck, as if it was winter in a flash.

This gust of wind passed in front of Wang Chen and Zhang Tong, and briefly stayed in the pile of paper money that was about to be burned in front of them.

Immediately, a small tornado formed.

After the tornado spun in place for several times, it suddenly pounced on the paper cow and the small bridge.

Suddenly, the wind dispersed, and the paper cow and the bridge suddenly burst into flames.

In just a few breaths, the paper cow and the bridge turned into ashes.

And when Wang Chen and Zhang Tong were amazed by the scene in front of them, the biting coldness was completely gone.

The scene that just happened only lasted a few seconds.

After this moment, everything returned to its original state.

It seemed that what just happened did not happen, it was just an illusion of Wang Chen and Zhang Tong.

Wang Chen looked at the ashes in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, are there really ghosts in this world?
If so, why didn't he see anything?

If not, why did the scene just happen?
Is it a coincidence?But this coincidence is too incredible, right?
Originally, he was an atheist and didn't pay attention to these things at all.Because he doesn't believe it.

But at this time, the rumors passed down by the older generation and some stories I heard when I was studying came to mind.

Coupled with the scene he just experienced, he somehow felt a sense of awe towards those 'superstitious' things.

He still didn't quite believe it, but he felt that things like the one just now couldn't be explained scientifically.

There must be a reason for existence, but with his current thinking and wisdom, it is difficult to figure out the principle.

After thinking briefly, he looked at Zhang Tong with tears in his eyes: "Let's go, Grandpa Li won't let you stay here for a long time."

Zhang Tong nodded slightly, wiping his tears, and followed Wang Chen as he stood up and walked back.

Here, there is also a saying.

That is, when walking back, you can't look back or cry anymore.

In the words of old man Li Yanyi, he was worried that the deceased would miss the world after hearing their cries.

But whether this is the case or not, there is no way of knowing.

After returning home, Wang Chen and Zhang Tong drank some hot water and calmed down for a while before the fear of heart palpitations subsided.

Although the person who died was Zhang Tong's father, he still felt quite scared after experiencing some unbelievable things.

Fortunately, when they came back, those relatives also came out.

At this time, no one can really sleep.It's just a matter of lying down for a while and resting your arms and legs.

Time flies and it's four o'clock in the morning.

At this time, both Xiaoyan and those relatives came out of the house.

Of course, everyone moving together is not just for the funeral.

It is the last important step before the funeral.

'Handout! '

To explain this word, you need to explain it word by word. 'Flower' refers to white paper and blue paper folded into small flowers, and then glued together to form something similar to a lantern.

'Hanging' means stringing it on a long stick and hanging it outside the courtyard gate.

As for hanging flowers, to put it bluntly, people stand below and knock down all the small flowers on top.

There are two ways to say this.

First, if the deceased died at the end of his life, the hanging flowers can be hung outside for the neighbors or children in the village to play with.

Second, if the deceased died unjustly or tragically, like Zhang Quanzhu, his daughter, Zhang Tong, must be the one to beat him.Wang Chen didn't know what the meaning of this custom was before, but he asked Mr. Li Yanyi in the afternoon.

Mr. Li said that the hanging flower is equivalent to a guiding lantern in the underworld.

On the one hand, it can light the way to hell and make the deceased walk safer.

On the other hand, it can guide the deceased to take a final look at the situation at home before entering hell.

However, this statement is somewhat contradictory.

According to Mr. Li, after the hanging flowers are hung, the dead person goes to hell completely and cannot come back, let alone have any contact with their relatives.

But he changed his mind and said that on the first seven days, the people who died could come back to see them again.

When he finished these two sentences, Wang Chen felt a little funny.

He didn't think it was because Li Yanyi was a little confused because of his age.

However, there are many contradictions in this kind of thing.

Just like burial, the old saying often says that after death, people rest in their graves.

But now, except for some villages, most cities practice burning. After burning, the box containing the ashes is placed in a small tomb made of cement.

Cement is not soil, let alone the saying that dust returns to dust and dust returns to earth. Isn't this a contradiction?

However, Wang Chen did not deliberately take it seriously.

These are things that have been passed down from generation to generation. Countless ancestors have summarized these things and passed them on to the next generation. There must be deep meaning and meaning in them.

Existence is truth.

As for whether it exists or whether the spear is inconsistent, it is not that important.

A group of relatives gathered around the door, burning paper and watching Zhang Tong tie the hanging flowers.

The whole process was smooth and fast.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the courtyard and began to get busy with breakfast.

Around six o'clock, relatives of Zhang Tong's family arrived one after another, and some neighboring people in the village also appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Not long after, Mr. Li Yanyi also came.

He began to instruct Wang Chen to prepare various matters for the funeral.

After a lot of busy work, it was already a quarter past eight.

The time of mourning has arrived, and the coffin is carried out of the hospital.

The coffin stood on two benches. Zhang Tong held a porcelain basin in his hand. Facing the coffin, he shouted "Dad" three times and then broke the porcelain basin. Then the Eight Immortals (coffin bearers) lifted the coffin.

Then, there is the funeral.

The funeral procession was slow.

It's almost like taking three steps and stopping for half a step.

Suona was not allowed to be used in this kind of funeral, so during the whole period, apart from the cries of Zhang Tong's family, there were only the discussions of the surrounding villagers.

There are many different kinds of words.

Some people sympathize with Xiaoyan and Zhang Tong's mother and daughter, while others regret that Zhang Quanzhu left Hexi in his prime of life. Of course, there are also those who are secretly happy that Xiaoyan will become a widow in the future, which will give those village bullies and gangsters another target to choose from.

Weeping and crying all the way to the west.

Half an hour later, the funeral procession walked out of the village.

When the coffin stopped, Zhang Tong and her relatives knelt down and cried, watching the coffin bearers carry Zhang Quanzhu to the prepared grave.

There is a custom in Taoyuan Village that except for the son-in-law, no one carrying the funeral can enter the cemetery on that day and must wait three days.

Therefore, after stopping here for a while, everyone walked towards Zhang Tong's house one after another.

The whole process went very smoothly. What is worth mentioning is that Zhang Tong's second uncle, Zhang Quanjun, also came to attend the funeral.And the whole time, he cried the loudest.

And it was his unexpected crying that made both Xiaoyan and Zhang Tong feel uneasy...
