After this incident, he was so scared that he covered his head every night when he slept in autumn. He felt cold even under the blanket. When he returned home for the new year, he really did not dare to go out again.
When he was twenty-four years old, his adoptive father left. Because of his father's treatment, the family was extremely poor.
In less than a year, things kept happening at home. First, his mother got into a car accident. When he was hospitalized, Lu Chao encountered another supernatural incident while serving his mother. After that, he was simply unlucky. He either had to work hard or lose money from a small business. Most importantly, he would feel cold all over at night and sometimes had a high fever.
When Lu Chao returned home, he buried his head under the blanket and thought about his life experiences. He was really unlucky. He was really smashed by a rock when he went out and met a ghost when he walked at night! Because he had really met a ghost when he went to pay respects to his great-aunt this time. Moreover, it was his great-aunt. Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end…
Little Chao, Little Chao, what's wrong with you? Just now, your second uncle called and said that your second grandpa couldn't stand the news of your great-aunt's death and didn't make it through.
When Lu Chao heard that his Second Master was dead, he sat up abruptly, wondering if it was his grandaunt's fault.
Thinking about it, they couldn't. They were biological siblings. How could they cause Second Grandpa's death?
At this moment, he heard his mother speak again. He only heard his mother say," Sigh, people, it's not bad for siblings to get along well in this lifetime!”
However, your Second Master is a little narrow-minded. Although your great-aunt has passed away and the two siblings have the best relationship, they don't have to be unable to withstand the shock of hearing the news of their sister's death. It's only been a few days, and two old people have died in succession! I heard from your uncle that when your second brother died, he said,"Fourth Sister, are you here to pick up second brother? Has second brother's lifespan reached?"
When he heard his mother say this, Lu Chao, who was under the blanket, felt a chill run down his spine. His scalp went numb, and he was so scared that his face turned pale. He hid under the blanket, trembling, and did not dare to show his face.
Little Chao, Little Chao, did you hear Mother? Get up quickly. We have to go and see the old man. Otherwise, people will gossip.
Hearing his mother's repeated calls, Lu Chao had no choice but to get up. He wrapped his body tightly, even wearing two down jackets. He still felt a little cold.
When his mother saw him dressed like this, she asked,"What's wrong, Little Chao? Did you catch a cold?"”Why are you wearing so much? It's winter now, so there's no need to wear so much. If people see you, they'll say that you're in poor health. You're still looking for a wife, and I'm still waiting for my grandson.
Sigh…At the mention of this matter, his mother sighed again and frowned.
Lu Chao was a little frustrated when his mother mentioned this because the matter of getting married had indeed become a sore point for both of them. Lu Chao was already thirty years old this year. If he was in a normal family, his child would be seventy or eighty years old. How could his mother not be anxious when he still did not have a wife? Even he himself was starting to worry.
Lu Chao's fear was instantly driven away at the mention of this vexing matter. The mother and son arrived at the old man's house very quickly. When they saw the dead Second Master, Tianqing's fear rose again.
He saw the Second Master lying there with a smile on his pale face and the corners of his eyes slanted. It was obvious that he was looking at something before he died. It was the first time in the village that the old man had died like this.
When Lu Chao and his mother arrived, they glanced at the old man. The mother cried symbolically to express her sadness at the old man's departure. Following that, his uncles and cousins all brought their families over. After a moment of sadness, everyone began to put on the burial clothes that they had already prepared for the old man.
After putting on the shroud for the old man, the village's white matter master also arrived! Mr. Baishi in the village was already in his eighties. He only had two daughters and a son, but he had passed away in a car accident many years ago.
When the teachers arrived, they hurriedly stood up and greeted them. Some called them grandpa, some called them uncle. Anyway, they were all from the same village, so they were all based on seniority.
Yes! Mr. Baishi nodded calmly when he saw everyone greeting him. He had experienced such scenes too many times in his life, and there was no longer any emotion in his heart.
Speaking of which, this Mr. Baishi was quite impressive. All the Baishi in the villages looked for him! He was in charge of looking after the cemetery, digging the earth to bury the dead, drawing talismans to remove evil spirits, and ferrying the dead.
As for whether these things were superstitious or not, no one knew whether they believed it or not. In any case, if someone in the nearby family died, they would look for him. Even if they did not believe it, they would seek comfort in their hearts, right? He did not know if the others believed him or not, but Lu Chao did. After his teacher came, Lu Chao was not as afraid anymore.
After the teacher arrived, he picked up the old man's finger and casually told the time of the old man's death. Everyone was amazed because he was right.
Everyone in the village knew about this. When the teacher looked at the hand, it was when the thumb happened to be placed on the bone lines of the index finger or middle finger after the person died. The teacher called it pinching, and the pinching was also the fingerprint of the hand!
If the children did not find out in time after the old man died, the teacher would use this to determine the time of death and the day when the soul returned.
Soul Returning Night was also known as the Return Seven. In other words, after a person died, they would return within seven days! He didn't have to come back on the seventh day.
After the funeral was over, Mr. Baishi would tell the family head about the direction the old man's soul came from that night, the time, and the night the old man's soul came back. As long as the ashes were scattered in front of the door, some small footprints would be found the next day. If it was a child's footprints, it meant that the old man had reincarnated. If it was anything else, it meant that he had entered the animal path.
On the night of the return of the soul, if they were filial to their parents, they would prepare wine, food, incense, and candles at home. The door would be open for their parents to come back and enjoy.
After looking at the lines formed by the old man's hand, the mister told them the time of the old man's death. Those who knew the truth were very impressed. They thought that the old mister was amazing.
After Mr. Baishi finished speaking, he began to arrange for the important guests who had already been found to start building the kaoliang couch. Because there was a word 'high' on the kaoliang couch, the old man's corpse had many meanings. It represented both virtue and prestige, and it also represented a chance to rise to the heavens.
After a series of operations, he was busy until almost 11 o'clock at night. When the kaoliang couch was set up, the uncle shouted three times," Dad, you get on the high couch. I'm done!"”
Next, they went to the Earth Temple to pour soup. The soup was made from millet and sent to the Earth Temple. It was because Mr. Baishi had spread that after a person died, there would be land to watch over them. The soup was sent to the Earth Temple so that the old people could eat and not go hungry.
The honored guests led the way in front of them to carry the soup. Their children, nephews, grandsons, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters-in-law cried as they ran straight to the Earth Temple. Lu Chao, as a grandson, was among them.
After a meal of soup, everyone returned. It was almost midnight. The guests bade farewell and left. Lu Chao and his mother also wanted to go home. At this moment, Lu Chao felt as if something dirty had entered his eyes. He walked to the mirror by the wall and checked his eyes. When he realized that nothing was wrong, he was about to turn around when he saw a terrifying scene!
He saw a figure in the mirror approaching from afar. Then, Tian Qing saw the face clearly. He saw an old man in the mirror. His eyes were narrowed, his face was pale, and there was a smile on his lips as he looked over...
Ah…Ghost…Second Master, don't scare me…
