The word 'coffin' gave people the impression that it was an undead! Of course, it was also known as " promotion and wealth ".
However, do you know? The inside of a new coffin couldn't be cleaned, so there had to be some wood residue left.
My grandfather was a coffin craftsman who specialized in making coffins for the dead. Once, I accidentally saw a coffin without a lid, but it was filled with dust and wood debris. So I took a broom to sweep the coffin clean, but I was beaten up by my grandfather.
Grandpa said that the new coffin could not be cleaned, or the ghost would sleep in it.
This! A few days ago, Old Wang from the neighboring village had his son become an official in the county town. He wanted to worship a coffin at home, hoping that his son would be promoted and make a fortune.
So I asked my grandfather to make a "special" coffin for him and then paint it red so that it would be red hot.
Grandpa finished the coffin that night and then went to visit his relatives. He asked me to stay at home and take care of the coffin if Old Wang came to pick it up.
When Old Wang came to pick up the coffin, I usually saw that Grandpa would light an incense stick on the coffin to worship the coffin. However, this is an offering for the living, not to pretend to be a dead person, so I didn't light that incense stick.
Just like that, he let Old Wang take the coffin away in confusion. However, he had only been there for three days before he came back and said that he always heard people walking and rummaging in his house at night.
I asked him if it was a thief. Old Wang said that he was also suspicious at first, but it was like this for two consecutive nights. In the middle of the night, he heard panting coming from the back hall.
The panting sounds seemed to be coming from the coffin. Could this be the ghost knocking on the coffin that Grandpa had mentioned?
Grandpa was not at home, so I followed Old Wang to his house to take a look. There was a big red coffin in the back hall of Old Wang's house. Although I saw coffins every day, when I saw such a red coffin in the corner of Old Wang's house, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.
I asked Old Wang to open the coffin, but who knew that Old Wang would actually sweep the inside clean. It would be strange if nothing happened.
However, his grandfather was not here at the moment. It seemed that he could not keep the coffin. A ghost had already knocked on it, but he could not carry the coffin out of Old Wang's house. Otherwise, the ghost would definitely cause trouble for his family.
I explained the rules to Old Wang. Old Wang slapped his head and shouted that he was confused. Actually, even if the coffin craftsman reminded him, the older ones would know that a new coffin could not be cleaned.
In addition, there was no sacrificial coffin, so it would be strange if they did not encounter dirty things.
There were no cell phones in the countryside, and Grandpa would only come back tomorrow. However, Old Wang refused to let me go. Old Wang's wife left early, and his only son was an official in the county. He did not dare to stay at home alone, but he was afraid of being robbed.
I had no choice but to reluctantly spend the night at his house.
"Thump, thump, thump!" At night, there were indeed people walking. I didn't dare to close my eyes the entire night. I panted and rummaged through the cabinets.
Fortunately, it didn't harass us. The next day, when the sun rose, I ran home to wait for Grandpa to come back.
When it was almost noon, news of Old Wang's death suddenly came from the village entrance. I couldn't help but tremble. This was impossible! It was fine when I came back in the morning.
Everyone gathered at the door of Old Wang's house. A few of his relatives had cleaned up Old Wang's body. A gray bedsheet covered Old Wang's body.
Grandfather has finally returned. I told him about the matter, but he didn't tell everyone about it. I think if everyone knew the truth, Grandfather's shop would definitely be lost. Even we might be subject to his son's revenge.。。
