A policewoman?
Han Bing didn't think too much about it. She couldn't think of Chen Linger at all, because in Han Bing's knowledge, she might be a forensic doctor.
If she had been lying to him back then, she would not have known what her profession was if she was not a forensic doctor.
But Han Bing was a little puzzled. Why did the policewoman come to such a remote place?
Catch criminals?
"Haha…"
"Uncle Liu has such ability?"
Han Bing smiled and asked casually.
"Grandpa Xu, is everything ready for tomorrow's ancestral worship?”
Today, Grandpa Xu was the one keeping vigil in the ancestral hall. When he heard Han Bing's question, Grandpa Xu patted his chest and said.
"I'm working on it. Don't worry!"
"I'm not good at anything else, but I'm the leader of the night watch!”
"I already understood this when I was in my pants. Don't worry.”
Seeing how confident Grandpa Xu was, Han Bing nodded and pointed behind the door of the ancestral hall.
"Alright, I'll go in and take a look. I'll help you.”
Then, Han Bing walked into the ancestral hall.
It was not that there was no one in the ancestral hall. There were many people helping Uncle Xu with the work. Uncle Xu was just tired and took a break outside.
"Come, come, come. Put this pig head here!”
"Put two more chickens on the side!"
"There's incense here."
Han Bing walked in and swept her gaze around the ancestral hall. Now, there were sacrifices placed in front of every memorial tablet, and the coffins were also placed neatly.
Logically speaking, this coffin should be buried.
However, the old man in the village said that a Feng Shui master had come a few years ago and told them about the Feng Shui here.
To the east of their village was the Yellow River, and behind it was a high mountain. In Feng Shui, this pattern was called the immortal sprinkling water. It was an excellent place.
The juniors of the people who lived here would be rich. They would either be promoted or rich.
Just like Han Bing's family, they had already earned some money and moved out when they came to Han Bing's father's place.
However, there were pros and cons.
The biggest problem was that the people who had lived here before could not be buried here.
They couldn't even touch the ground. Otherwise, if the coffin touched the ground, the whole family would be in trouble.
They could not be buried in the ground or in the water, so they could only do this. Each coffin was hung on a wooden frame, and at the bottom of the wooden frame was a basin filled with water.
In this way, the earth qi was completely isolated. It was neither buried in the ground nor buried in the water. It even made use of the excellent place where the immortals poured water!
Other than the fact that the coffin was a little ugly and scary, there was nothing bad about it!
However, not all the old people who passed away in the village were buried here. Many people were buried in the back mountain or cremated in the city.
Of course, only such a remote village far from the city would have such a strange custom, just like the northwest in tomb robbing novels.
"Alright, alright, that's it!"
After Han Bing walked in, she saw a few people clapping their hands and about to leave. It seemed that they had already finished their preparations.
Han Bing glanced at the coffins and could not help but say.
"This won't do!"
"Before offering sacrifices to the ancestors, you have to insert incense on the coffin first, not in this incense burner!”
"Otherwise, when the ancestor's soul comes back and can't find his body, he will be angry.”
Han Bing had also learned about these comments from the divine-level corpse-chasing secret manual.
This secret manual had indeed written about sacrifices.
He had written about many methods, including this method of inserting incense to attract souls.
The name of this method of inserting incense to guide the soul was inconceivable. It was to burn incense in advance. The fragrance of the incense would pave a path for the ancestors to return home. When the door of ghosts opened during the Qingming Festival, their ancestors would naturally follow the path back to this place.
The prerequisite was that the incense stick had to be inserted into the coffin. Otherwise, when the ancestor returned here and could not see his coffin, he would be furious.
Han Bing didn't know if this was true, but since it was a method of drawing souls with incense sticks, Han Bing believed that no one understood it better than him.
After Han Bing finished speaking, the few of them smiled and sat outside the ancestral hall to smoke.
"Bingzi, I think you've gone crazy from studying!”
"This is a custom to comfort people. Do you really believe that the souls of your ancestors will come back?”
"That's right, Bing 'zi, are you addicted to being a corpse transporter?”
"Hahaha!"
Some of the people who said this were ten years older than Han Bing, so they could not be considered to be from two generations. When they heard Han Bing say this, they all joked and teased her.
He didn't have any ill intentions. After all, they were all from the same village.
Han Bing shook her head helplessly." It's fine if you don't believe me. Since there's nothing else I need to help with, I'll go back."”
"F * ck!"
Just as Han Bing was about to leave, a person who had just put down the incense burner suddenly shouted and staggered to the ground!
This scream immediately attracted the attention of the people outside the ancestral hall. When they heard the sound, they all rushed in. When they saw the person's frightened expression, they could not help but ask.
"Xiangzi, what's wrong?"
"That's right. You're so shocked that you almost shouted out my heart attack!”
Xiangzi sat on the ground and pointed at the tributes on the table.
"The pig head meat that I placed on the table just now is gone!”
"Just a moment!"
"It's true!"
Hearing Xiangzi's words, they all let out a sigh of relief and walked out, some of them even complaining.
"Xiangzi, you're so scared!”
"There's an 80% chance that some greedy child stole the blanket!”
Xiangzi felt that he really couldn't explain it with his mouth. In such a short time, how big was the child's mouth to finish it all in one go?
However, no one believed it now, so even he himself thought, could it be that he was really seeing things?
"Alright, alright, let's go. You're so shocked!”
Grandpa Xu waved his hand. The children in the village were gluttonous, so it was normal for them to eat some tributes, so he didn't take it seriously.
Han Bing walked to the incense table and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the disappearing tribute.
This situation didn't seem right.
There might be something wrong with this ancestral hall!
Perhaps there was something wrong with the things in the ancestral hall!
