Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Going to the Grave
On New Year's Eve, Zha Wenbin got up early. According to rural customs, he lost his daughter this year. Although he is a junior, he can't post couplets at home.He simply cooked a few dishes, put them in a small basket, packed the joss sticks, and took his son to the grave.
In our place, there are usually several days in a year to worship the dead, which are:
Tomb-sweeping Day, you need to go to the grave to visit the tomb, light incense candles and set up soul-calling banners, and pay homage to the ancestors. This day has now become a legal holiday, and it is also the day that everyone is most familiar with.
The Ghost Festival, the Ghost Festival, is on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, also known as July and a half. It is said that on the first day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year, King Yama opens the gate of ghosts and releases a group of lonely and wild ghosts who are not worshiped to the world to enjoy. people's offerings.On the last day of July, before the gate of ghosts is closed again, these lonely ghosts have to return to the underworld, so July is also called ghost month.
It is said that on this day, every household, no matter rich or poor, must prepare food and drinks, and pay homage to the dead to show their memory of the dead ancestors.The Ghost Festival usually lasts for seven days, and there are new dead and old dead.Those who died within three years are called new dead, and those who died three years ago are called old dead.Superstition says that the old and new dead should go home to have a look during this time, and it is also said that the return time of the old and new dead is different, the new dead return first, and the old dead come back later.Therefore, sacrifices should be made separately.The time to burn the paper money should be in the dead of night when the people are quiet. First, sprinkle a few circles with lime in the yard, saying that the paper money is burned in the circles. From time to time, he kept saying: "So-and-so came to collect the money." In the end, he had to burn a pile outside the circle, saying that it was for lonely ghosts.On the day when the dead go back, no matter rich or poor, they have to cook a good meal to respect the dead, which is also called "send the dead".
Therefore, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, everyone generally holds it in their own yards and does not go to the grave, because that day is the most exuberant in the year, and they may be recruited in the middle of the road.On that day in the countryside, the adults did not allow the children to go out to play, and they went to bed early after dinner.
Another important day for offering sacrifices to the dead is the winter solstice!Everyone knows that the sun is farthest from the ground in the northern hemisphere on this day.According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a record on the winter solstice day that "the emperor leads three gongs and nine ministers to welcome the new year". "Zhou Ritual" stipulates that on the winter solstice day, a sacrificial ceremony of "To Heaven, Gods, Humans and Ghosts" should be held.
Places and people who are more particular are vegetarians on that day, but chickens and sheep must also be slaughtered, offering sacrifices to the heavens first, and then to the souls.Like Cha Wenbin, he still has to offer sacrifices to Sanqing, pay homage to his ancestors, and then eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls at night.
The last sacrificial day related to the dead in a year is New Year's Eve in our place.
If the person has died for more than one year, they should prepare meals in the morning on the thirty day of the new year, and then prepare the sacrifices for the grave.
First, prepare paper money. If it is more convenient, go to the store to buy ready-made yellow straw paper, which is usually rectangular and bundled into bundles.If you are more particular, you have to make your own ingots. You can do it yourself with this kind of yellow straw paper, which is similar to the way of folding paper boats. Anyway, it looks like ingots, with both ends raised.Another kind is to use scissors to cut copper coins, and this kind of paper is also used.
Nowadays, woodcut plates like banknotes are also used to print money on papyrus, and the size of the amount is usually written on it.Or use fifty or one hundred yuan RMB, blow three breaths on it, and then put it on the straw paper and hit it three times with your fist, indicating that a piece of money has been printed.Then prepare firecrackers, wine and incense.The most important thing is that the selected pork is boiled in a pot, cut into cubes the size of a bowl, and put into a bowl as a sacrifice, which is called "knife head".As for the "Heaven and Earth Bank" huge denomination coins sold in the store, most of them are gimmicks thought up by the merchants. If the thing is burned, be careful that the ancestors will be caught by the kid and say that it uses counterfeit banknotes.
When going to the grave to worship the ancestors, the elders of the family lead the whole family, except those who are too young and too old.When offering sacrifices to the ancestors, first clean up the weeds on the front, back, left, and right sides of the ancestral grave, kowtow and bow nine times, sacrifice the knife head, burn three sticks of incense, burn paper money, and set off firecrackers. Only after the sacrifice can they go home for dinner.
Zha Wenbin got all these things at his fingertips, and he prepared them in a short time. He took his youngest son to carry the things and went to the cemetery. Zhuo Xiong and Hengroulian had already gone to the town, saying they were going to buy some wine and vegetables.
This year, there was a new grave on that cemetery, which belonged to his youngest daughter. Cha Wenbin couldn't bear to go there, so he sent his youngest son to burn paper, because white-haired people can't give black-haired people Those who kneel down will lose their life.Cha Wenbin himself went to the graves of his master and ancestors.
Originally, this matter was over like this, because apart from this moment, he had to go to the graveyard tonight, what was he doing there?Shou Sui!
This is the custom of Cha Wenbin's hometown.If there is a funeral in the family, on the New Year's Eve of that year, after the New Year's Eve dinner, the family members have to wait until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night to go to the graveyard again, set off firecrackers, burn paper money, and burn paper clothes for the deceased.To do so is to tell the deceased that the Chinese New Year is over, and this is the first year it has lived below, and it will not belong to the world in the future.
If the person who died was a senior, then his relatives would have to watch the New Year's Eve for him that night, regardless of the wind or snow.But Zha Wenbin didn't have any relatives in the first place, and the one who died was a child. He planned to come up alone at night, and let him suffer if he dragged his son. Just let him pay homage to his sister now.
Zha Wenbin was burning incense and kowtowing on the grave of his master. Not far away was his daughter's grave. Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", followed by an "ah". Cha Wenbin hurriedly turned his head to look. , something happened, his youngest son was rolling on the ground in front of the grave, and a cloud of white smoke hadn't dissipated yet, so Cha Wenbin quickly dropped the unburned incense paper in his hand and ran over.
It turned out that when he went to the grave, he brought a few "Sixteen Rings", that is, a small firecracker that can ring 16 times after being lit.At this time, the Sixteen Rings had been torn apart, and Cha Wenbin knew that the firecracker must have blown up the child.He hurriedly picked up his crying son and went down the mountain.
This is a remote mountain village. There is a barefoot doctor in the village. Cha Wenbin knows that there is no need to send him there for this injury.Fortunately, today is Chinese New Year, and all the busy people in the village have returned home. At that time, those who could afford it had already bought vans and began to transport them by themselves, and Agui at the head of the village had one.
Cha Wenbin ran to Agui's house in a hurry, just in time to meet Agui who was also carrying incense paper to go to the grave.At that time, Cha Wenbin's reputation was not only in his own village, but also in the surrounding counties.During the days when he was away, those who came to him specifically for fortune-telling, fortune-telling, and Fengshui all broke through the ridge of the village, let alone those who came to him for white weddings and exorcism.
Agui saw that Wenbin was holding his son, and the child was still stained with blood, so he put down the basket in his hand and hurriedly asked, "Brother Wenbin, what's wrong?"
Cha Wenbin hurriedly said: "Let Sixteen Rings blow up, is your car at home? If so, please take me to the county hospital."
When Agui saw the child, his clothes were all torn, and he knew that the injury was not serious, so he just yelled into the yard: "My mother, you go to the grave first, I have something to do." After that, he put down his things and He hurriedly led Cha Wenbin into the yard, started the car and drove the two of them towards the county town.
To be honest, the roads in that area at that time were really not good. The asphalt road hadn't been repaired, it was the kind of dirt road.In winter, it was freezing and then raining, the road was full of potholes, the car bumped all the way, and the child grinned in pain.Agui used the fastest speed, but it still took more than an hour to arrive at the county hospital.Most of the doctors had gone home for the New Year that day, and Agui helped Cha Wenbin to the emergency room, and waited for a long time before sending the child to the emergency room.
At this time, Zha Wenbin's mind was already in a mess. He had been lying in it not long ago, but now it was his son, who had already lost his daughter, so he couldn't let his son have trouble anymore.
Besides, when Zhuo Xiong and Hengroulian returned home, they saw that Zha Wenbin hadn't returned for a long time, so when they went outside to inquire, Agui's wife said that the child had been blown up, and the two were in a hurry in the village.After finally borrowing a tricycle from the village chief's house, Zhuo Xiong drove away with a swollen face, and only the big dog Heizi was left at home.
When the two of them rushed to the hospital, after some searching, they finally saw Cha Wenbin, who was sobbing by the flower bed at the entrance.
Zhuo Xiong hurriedly asked: "Brother Wen Bin, how is the child?"
Seeing that they were here, Zha Wenbin wiped away his tears: "I don't know what crime I committed. My daughter was lost, and this son was bombed..."
"What's up?"
Cha Wenbin supported Zhuo Xiong, choked up and said, "I've blown up my lifeblood. The doctor said I'm afraid I won't be able to have children in the future." After talking, Cha Wenbin couldn't control his emotions anymore. thing!
Cha Wenbin's master once told him that as a Taoist priest, you can offend ghosts, but don't offend gods.He didn't know if he had leaked too many heavenly secrets, or was this also destiny?In short, Cha Wenbin is unprecedented!
The child's life was saved. On the hospital bed of the county hospital, the three big men looked at the cold wall, and felt uncomfortable. How should I say this to the child? If Cha Wenbin couldn't say it, the others would say it No more exports.
In the evening of that day, Cha Wenbin decided to take his son back to celebrate the new year. Agui had already been sent back by Cha Wenbin in the afternoon, and Zhuo Xiong drove the four of them home in a tricycle against the cold wind.Along the way, Zha Wenbin wrapped his son in a thick padded jacket, but the child was still shivering from the cold.
Heizi seemed to have a premonition. People in the village said that the dog had been standing at the entrance of the village since noon.When he saw Cha Wenbin and the others coming back, he didn't rush forward as usual, but waited quietly, and then silently followed them back home.
After settling down the children, Zhuo Xiong first cleaned up a table of food and drink, no matter what, today is the 30th year, so if something goes wrong, it's the end of the year.It's just that the child screamed in pain, no one was in the mood to eat, and even Heizi went to the gate early to lie on his stomach.
Zha Wenbin didn't leave for half a step, and he didn't speak a word along the way. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart, but he kept looking at the big seal in his hand.Maybe if he was given another chance, he would no longer choose to be a Taoist priest, but did he have a choice?The chubby face looked listlessly at the black and white TV, in which Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping were paying New Year's greetings to people of all ethnic groups across the country, and this was the only valuable thing in Cha Wenbin's house.
The child barely ate a few mouthfuls of dumplings. After a while, he didn't know whether he was tired from the pain or really sleepy. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.Looking at the tear stains on his son's face, Zha Wenbin felt more and more uncomfortable. He turned over, picked up the Seven Star Sword hanging by the bed, and was about to go out.
"You two are watching at home, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave this door!" This was the first sentence he said after he came back, and then he strode out with the Seven Star Sword and the Qiankun Bag on his back.Zhuo Xiong knew his character, he would listen to what he said, and just sit on the bench and watch the boring show.
Seeing that Zha Wenbin was about to leave, Heizi followed behind wagging his tail. He didn't stop him, and walked towards the distant mountains alone.
The feng shui of their ancestral grave was checked by Cha Wenbin's master back then. Although it is not a dragon's lair and a phoenix land on the back of a little green dragon, it is considered the best in this area.Another family is a farmer, and he didn’t want to be rich, so the master chose that place. It’s not too far from home, five miles away, where some wild tea was originally planted, and that land is also called a tea field in the local area. The soil here is authentic loess, very thick.The daughter's small grave was originally the hole that the master showed Cha Wenbin, but he didn't expect the white-haired man to give the black-haired man, so he buried her there.
What Cha Wenbin didn't understand the most was that today was the New Year, why didn't the younger sister even keep her own brother?It just happened right under my nose, could it be an accident?He never told his own fortune, nor did he tell his family's fortune. Anyway, he originally planned to burn some incense for his daughter tonight, so he took this opportunity to go and have a look together.
Today, if he really changed his face, he changed his face. It was fine just now, but when Cha Wenbin walked on that trail, it actually started to thunder, and it still exploded!Cha Wenbin stopped walking, Heizi was standing beside him, and the howling northwest wind began to whistle again.
"Thunder in winter will pile up graves next year." Cha Wenbin looked up at the sky and said to himself.This is definitely not a good omen. In this season when thunder and lightning should not occur, if there is thunder and lightning, it indicates that in the coming year, there will be epidemics or natural disasters, and a large number of people will die. Push, there is no time to dig the graves, one by one.
On a normal day, if such an ominous omen appeared, he would never go up the mountain again, but today he didn't care so much. For the one you love, if you say you can't protect yourself, it's justified, and you won't be able to harm him.
After pinching a Seven Star Sword, Cha Wenbin slapped Heizi's ass: "Let's go!"
Lightning raged in the sky, illuminating the dark night like daytime. Cha Wenbin was carrying a flashlight. How could the performance of this kind of dry battery compare with that of a spotlight?Seen from a distance, the red light looks like a ghostly fire floating around, and it is almost as good as not being lit when it is lit.
To pass Zha's daughter's grave, you have to pass the one of his master first, and then his parents. The one on the far right was originally reserved for him, but now it is given to his daughter.Although he had already come up to worship during the day, but after a night's journey, Cha Wenbin still had to say hello to his master.He carefully took out a stick of incense, lit it with a torch and stuck it in front of the grave.
If the wind blows this winter like a knife, the incense is said to burn very fast. In order to facilitate the sacrifice in front of the grave, Cha Wenbin specially made an incense burner, which was poured with cement. Just go in.The master and apprentice didn't talk much when they were alive, let alone after death.Cha Wenbin was about to leave after burning the incense. Before turning around, a gust of wind blew in. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the stick of incense falling... all three sticks fell...
Zha Wenbin didn't go to help him, he said in his heart: "If you fall down, you will fall down. If you don't let me go, I have to go too." go.There are still lightning and thunder in the sky, and there are gusts of northwest wind, which is chilly.
Now, the chilly northwest wind is blowing into the woods ahead.What kind of tree is it?Chestnut trees, these trees lose their leaves as early as late autumn.In the woods, there are some dead trees with bare branches.Withered leaves fell among the forests, forming small piles, undulating, like hills, densely arranged in the withered forest.Are these undulating accumulations really hills?
No, of course not the hill.
They are all graves!These accumulations one by one are all graves!Big tomb, small tomb...
Who can tell?This land used to be an old cemetery. The Feng Shui is good. I don’t know which generation left it behind. It is densely packed and layered on top of each other.
It is said that during the land reform, the young men in the village took picks and hoes to open a piece of land in this forest.I heard from my grandma that when the graves were smashed in that land, there was a big grave made of glutinous rice and loess, and only a white spot was left when the pickaxe went down.
In order to expand agricultural production and respond to the call of the state, the village cadres took the lead, and the good laborers in the production team opened up wasteland everywhere. That's when the question of land from the dead appeared.What is it called?It's called returning the grave to the land!
In addition, in the special period that followed, breaking the four olds and abolishing feudal superstition became everyone's slogan again, and this land was completely turned over again.When I met those unowned old graves, built with blue bricks, they were picked down from the mountain to make the leftovers of the house. At that time, bricks were expensive.The quality of this kind of old blue brick is quite good, and it takes four or five strokes of an ordinary brick knife to break it.
The coffin boards taken out were either dragged out to be used as firewood, or thrown into the wilderness. Those bones were treated according to the landlord class as long as they were dressed in gold and silver. They were all put into their pockets first by those with quick hands and feet, and most of the remaining bottles and jars were smashed on the spot and re-stirred into the soil.There are also some jade wares, the fineness and color of which dynasty and generation are unknown, and they are usually thrown to the children in the village to play with. Those little kids don't understand these things, but they are just thrown around as ordinary playthings.
Later, this land was planted with tea leaves. The soil here is loess, so the tea leaves are very fragrant.In the past, every spring, those village women would come here with their bibs to pick tea, rushing to pick the tenderest buds, which are the best buds, and take them home and fry them dry for preservation Come to think of it, the tea here is reluctant to take a sip at home, and you have to wait until the most important guest in the family arrives to make a cup. There are several villages around here, and the tea here is the best.
Later, Cha Wenbin's master fell in love with this land, so he chose it as his ancestral grave, and took care of his family's funeral affairs for him. After his death, his family was also buried here.This is the same as in Xi'an. When you dig down the treasured geomantic lands in history, there is definitely more than one grave, and they are all stacked on top of each other. Back then, the tea fields were all bombed with explosives, because some of the old graves The strength is comparable to modern cement. The ancients did not have steel bars, so they used iron bars instead, and then poured glutinous rice water. It is impossible to move this thing by manpower.
The sky was getting darker, and at this point, it was a bit gloomy, and a flash of lightning flashed from time to time, making this chestnut forest look extraordinarily gloomy, and those lonely grave forests became more secluded and deeper...
In such a dark night, in such a forest of tombs, would anyone still come in?On this dark night, in this cemetery, at this moment, the sound of crying, the sound of people crying, actually sounded.
From far to near, it came gradually... Heizi rushed straight forward like an off-string arrow. Cha Wenbin knew that the dog could see things he couldn't see, so he followed closely behind with the Seven Star Sword in his hand. After leaving the forest, the daughter's grave is in front of me.
"Crack!", a thunderbolt flashed down in the sky, as if a huge firework had bloomed in the sky, illuminating the whole earth as if it were daytime, and Heizi was roaring "barking" in front of the grave with his mouth wide open.
Whose grave is this?Cha Wenbin's daughter's!What kind of dog is Heizi?Eyes opened!Can it not recognize what place is here?Besides, Cha Wenbin was still standing behind him.
"Heizi, come here!" Zha Wenbin shouted, Heizi backed away slowly vigilantly, and let out a deep growl from time to time, which was a kind of hostility and a warning to Zha Wenbin.Heizi, who returned to Zha Wenbin, was still circling non-stop.
Cha Wenbin patted its neck, trying to calm it down, but the circle of hair on Heizi's neck became more erect.
This is in front of my daughter's grave, and there are still ten minutes before twelve o'clock. Some lively people in the distance have already set off fireworks first.There is no tombstone in this grave, because the child is too young, and Cha Wenbin doesn't want her to take too many things with her after she dies.But Cha Wenbin had heard Heizi's warning, he couldn't just appear in front of her with the Seven Star Sword shining like this, that would be too cruel and ruthless.
Heizi's roar made Cha Wenbin a little strange, except for a few unimportant lonely ghosts floating not far away, Cha Wenbin really didn't see anything.Besides, when the tomb was buried, he had seen it with his own eyes, and there was nothing special about it. Why did such a situation happen today?
With a flashlight that was not very bright, Zha Wenbin walked over slowly, and it was only a few minutes before the time to burn the incense. If Lord Yan would save face, he might let her come up for a meal. This is what Zha Wenbin was waiting for point.
A bowl of raw rice was placed upside down on the ground, with three meat and three vegetables in front, and three big red apples.The child's favorite during his lifetime was apples.But at that time, it was poor and remote, and it was rare to eat half of it all year round. This time, it was the authentic red Fuji brought from the provincial capital. The moment he put down the apple, Cha Wenbin burst into tears, and whispered: "Girl , eat, this apple is sweet, you should hurry up and eat it."
Zha Wenbin squatted down, put three sticks of incense on the meal, and took out the wrapped ingot paper money, put it on the grave and pressed it with a stone, and lit it as soon as the preparation time came.
Heizi's barking continued, and the endless barking made Cha Wenbin's already restless heart even more disturbed.He pulled out the Seven Star Sword, and plunged into the soil with a bang.It's strange to say, just like that, Heizi really stopped screaming, and the few fellows wandering around were scared and fled in all directions. There were too many ghosts on the sword, and the evil spirit was too heavy. Sitting in front of the grave bag, weeping constantly.
"Brother, can you sell me one of your apples?" A woman's voice sounded faintly.Where do people come from in this lonely mountain?If it were an ordinary person, it would probably make him pee out of fright, but who is he?He is Cha Wenbin, who has fought among the dead and begged for his life in the Palace of the King of Hades.
"There are apples, but I don't sell them. They are for my daughter." Cha Wenbin replied without turning his head. Come out, aren't you afraid of bumping into evil?"
"I've lived here for many years, and I'm used to it. Now my child is hungry, so I came out to find him something to eat. Just happened to meet you, big brother. You can sell it to me One." The female voice sounded faintly again, this time with a hint of pleading.
"Oh. Is that so?" Cha Wenbin kept his head down as he answered, took out an apple from his Qiankun bag and put it on the back of his head, "One dollar each."
The sound of footsteps rustled forward a few steps, then stopped again, and the female voice said again: "Brother, the dog next to you is very fierce! I'm a little scared."
Cha Wenbin stepped on the tail of Heizi on the side, and the threat of "huhu" from its mouth never stopped. Cha Wenbin patted Heizi again and said, "Girl, this dog doesn't bite people!" , don't be afraid."
Cha Wenbin's right hand holding Apple suddenly lightened, and then a coin was placed in his hand.It's so light, it's almost imperceptible.Withdrawing his right hand, Zha Wenbin glanced at it. It was clearly a copper coin cut out of yellow paper!
"Thank you, brother, you are such a good man." After finishing speaking, the footsteps began to recede.
Cha Wenbin suddenly loosened his foot and let go of the sunspot in his hand.Without his calling, the big black dog shot out like the wind, and went straight to his rear with a manic bark, which made the woman yell out softly: "Ah!"
"I only said it doesn't bite 'people', but I didn't say it didn't bite ghosts!" Cha Wenbin turned around abruptly, a white shadow was squatting on the ground, and Heizi was standing in front of the shadow, yelling loudly. Panting, the posture was waiting for Cha Wenbin's order, and immediately went to tear the shadow into pieces.It seemed to be a figure, and this white figure was still trembling slightly.
Cha Wenbin walked over slowly, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a beautiful girl who looked like a fairy.Although she was beautiful, there was an indescribable sadness hidden between her brows.A dress as thin as a cicada's wings fluttered in the wind, tightly wrapping the girl's delicate body.The dress is as white as snow, revealing the girl's curvaceous and delicate body.
"It's a female ghost, Heizi, come here." He gave an order, and Heizi walked back to him slowly, wagging his tail, and squatted on the ground, but he never left the girl in white for a moment.
"Let me go, big brother." The girl said timidly, although there was no blood on her face, her appearance was really lovely.Cha Wenbin didn't come to catch ghosts tonight, so he said: "You are a female ghost, why do you want apples? You don't look like a mother. To be honest, I will give you a treat later after I finish talking." Cheng, reincarnate early, don't wander around in this wild country."
As soon as the apple rolled under the girl's feet, it arrived at Cha Wenbin's feet. He was about to bend over to pick it up, when the woman in white said, "Brother, I don't want the apple anymore. Don't save me, let me go?"
Seeing that it was about to arrive in five minutes, Cha Wenbin picked up the apple and handed it over again: "Here, take it, it's New Year's Eve, go early, I have something to do." After finishing speaking, Cha Wenbin Bin bowed his head again and continued to work on his own affairs.
The girl held the apple in her snow-white hands, and said shyly, "Thank you brother, but can you put that dog first..."
Zha Wenbin shouted without looking back: "Heizi, come and squat down." The black dog ran back and squatted in front of the grave, pretending to be a pet, and the girl in white dared to Move your feet.
The white shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and Cha Wenbin raised his head and shouted: "Wait a minute, where are you going?" He was shocked to find that the girl was going in the direction of his daughter's grave.
The girl stretched out her finger and pointed to the grave bag, and said, "Below."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Cha Wenbin asked in disbelief, "You mean here?" He pointed to the new grave with small weeds and waited for the girl's definite answer.
The girl nodded, Cha Wenbin took advantage of the opportunity and pulled out the Seven Star Sword, Huo Di stood up.The anger in his heart has no place to vent, now that the murderer has been identified, he will not let her go no matter what.He stretched his right hand into the Qiankun bag, and a Celestial Master Talisman appeared in the palm of his hand, and said sharply: "This is my daughter's grave, you female ghost is so ignorant, you dare to occupy her pit, this is to let her die without a burial!" The place is so vicious, why should I keep you?" After all, the Seven Star Sword has already started, and he, Cha Wenbin, is no longer the Taoist priest he was before. After returning from Mount Qingcheng, it is a piece of cake to deal with these lonely ghosts. Before the person arrives, the murderous intent has arrived!
Seeing that the Seven Star Sword was coming, the female ghost had no time to dodge, so she could only shout: "Brother, be merciful, please listen to me."
Cha Wenbin is not an unreasonable person, but how can such anger be calmed down easily, so Jianfeng stopped on her forehead: "Say! It's best to give me a reason not to kill you. Otherwise, I will fight Make your soul fly away, and you will never be reborn forever!"
Seeing that Zha Wenbin was really a member of the Taoist sect, the female ghost knelt on the ground and said, "Brother, I was a girl of the master's life. Back then, the master was beheaded because he violated the emperor's prestige and died. It has been buried here for thousands of years. Back then, I was buried with my master, and I was still a maid for him after death. I don’t know why, but the soul of the master can’t get out of the coffin, so I can’t be reborn. Just to be able to reincarnate after him, if I leave and leave him alone, who else will take care of him? So I became a lonely ghost wandering here. Today is New Year's Eve, I came out to find him Order a tribute, I don’t want to annoy the elder brother, I’m here to make amends to you, please let the elder brother let me go, or he will be left lying there forever.”
Cha Wenbin said unceremoniously: "It's full of nonsense. Back then, my master chose this grave by himself. He wouldn't be able to see that there are other people's nests under it? Although it can barely be regarded as a small dragon's den in this area, we still have to It’s not like you want to grab someone else’s. Tell me! Did you float in from outside and occupy this piece of land!”
After hearing this, the female ghost said: "The master once told me that there is a new little girl here, but we have never seen her. As for the dragon's lair you mentioned, the feng shui here has been ruled out before you come here." It’s broken, if you don’t believe it, you can open it and have a look. There used to be a Ganoderma lucidum on the lid of her coffin, but it withered suddenly a few days ago.”
Cha Wenbin's heart skipped a beat. There are mushrooms in the tomb, which is auspicious in Feng Shui. It means that there are successors in the family of the deceased, which is a good omen to protect future generations. When he heard that the ganoderma lucidum had withered, Cha Wenbin immediately thought of what happened to his son , no wonder he was asked to investigate the family forever.Zha Wenbin looked around the grave suspiciously, and found that no one had tampered with it. Feng Shui was broken either by interference from outsiders, or because the dragon's veins were exhausted, but neither of the two matched.
"You'd better stop talking nonsense, even if I let you in tonight, I can file you and your master together tomorrow, if this is the cave you occupied first, I will let you go, otherwise... "
"..." There was a sound of fireworks and explosions from the foot of the mountain, and the fireworks shot into the air and scattered, which is really beautiful, and the time is up!Cha Wenbin glanced at the foot of the mountain: "You go first!"
The woman was relieved, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, brother." After speaking, she disappeared, and she must have returned to her nest.
Lit the joss sticks and piled up the paper money. Thinking of what the female ghost said just now, Zha Wenbin felt more and more unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel more sad and blamed himself: "Daughter, if you can hear it, come out and see daddy, daddy!" Come to celebrate the new year for you." While crying, while burning paper money, before and after this, there was a possibility that he could see his dead relatives for about three minutes, but that was just a possibility, would there be an exception tonight?Cha Wenbin wiped his tears, took out the evil spirit bell from his sleeve, put on a scarf made of black satin, that is, a hat, put on a robe, and spread out his posture.What is he doing?
After returning from Qingcheng Mountain, Cha Wenbin has been thinking about the guy who looks the same as himself, that is, the guy that Lao Wang deduced to be King Yufu. How did he call his relatives back up from the abyss?Naturally, he hadn't reached that level of supernatural powers, but his daughter died before the end of her life, so she would never be reincarnated as a human being anyway, and with that dream, he really wanted to see her again.
how to do?Call the soul.Where to recruit?In hell!
Go down and fish again?He no longer has the capital to bet on what will happen next time, so this time he has to use the traditional method.
Cha Wenbin took out a small rag doll from his bosom, which he made out of his girlfriend's previous clothes, and even the things stuffed inside were her old things.what is it then?It's her hair stuffed inside!
The body, hair and skin, received by parents, dare not harm them, this is the beginning of filial piety.This hair is brought out from the womb of a child, and it is also a part of an adult's body. The ancients regarded this thing as very important. This is why the ancient men also have the tradition of growing hair. This is broken. In their view To come is to cut off the only connection with parents.Of course, this kind of saying has disappeared in modern times, but Cha Wenbin still wants to give it a try.
On the back of the doll was written the birth date and name in cinnabar, and placed it in front of her grave. Cha Wenbin took a deep breath and shook the evil bell in his hand. Resounding in this spooky forest...
"Sanqing gathers at the top, and understands my gods; Xuanming and Jiuyin, listen to my orders, and be as urgent as a law!" A white soul-calling banner in his hand was firmly placed on the grave, and it was blown by the wind. Swept across his face like willows.
Cha Wenbin took out the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and used the ground as a paper, a red soul-inducing curse suddenly appeared on the uneven grass.As the shape of his mouth changed faster and faster, the small mounds of graves appeared faintly and vaguely from time to time.
Not all graves have them. The ghosts that go down, those who can be reincarnated, leave only a rotten bone.Those who can't leave are either wild ghosts, or they were punished or were cast down during their lifetime. This kind of thing, if it is not handled properly, it will become a big evil.
The risk of Zha Wenbin doing this is actually very high. What he has to do is to draw out all the people who cannot be reincarnated in this land.No, the girl in white who asked for an apple just now was also brought out, squatting in front of her and watching.
The incense I lighted today is a high-quality tribute incense, although it is not as good as the soul-returning incense, it is already top-grade.Those lonely ghosts don't even have a tribute on weekdays, how can they resist the temptation of this kind of thing?One by one greedily walked towards Cha Wenbin.
But Cha Wenbin didn't have the slightest liking for these by-products caused by the soul-inducing work. A circle centered on him had long been carefully nailed a circle of mahogany.This mahogany is made of new branches of the year, and the effect is the best.Sure enough, the group of ragged guys on the outside couldn't get in at all, and kept screaming there.
The sunspots inside were impatient looking at this group of things, and they grinned fiercely from time to time. A few timid ones, seeing that they couldn't get any good, had already drifted away, and the rest were the real vicious ones.
He didn't even bother to take a look at these things at all. The evil spirit bell in Cha Wenbin's hand spun around the top of the doll rapidly, his eyes fixed on the grave.The white-clothed girl naturally didn't know what he was going to do, she was the only one in the circle, and she must have been hungry for too long, inhaling the tribute incense.
这种情况一直持续到了贡香燃尽，除了那个少女，圈子中便没有其他的了。这贡香啊可以燃半小时，也就是他已经足足做了半小时的法事，可还是没有效果。查文斌看着最后一缕香被少女吸入，一下子瘫坐在地上。
这人的气势一弱，外面的那些脏东西就来了劲，口馋得太久了，加把力，有几个能耐点的半只手都已经伸进了圈子，眼瞅着就要摸到他的后背。
对于这种无形之物，黑子虽然能看见，但是却很难伤害它们，威慑的作用要远大于撕咬。这家伙也不是什么吃素的主，一个跃起，就冲着那只手扑去，吓得那东西赶紧缩回去。
“啊！”查文斌猛地一声喊，拔起地上的七星剑，“呼”地一圈扫过，一阵风过后，离得近点的当场就被打得魂飞魄散。那群野鬼一看这货发飙了，惹不得，虽然贡品好吃，但是失了魂魄还有啥用？赶紧四下逃窜开来，只留下那少女还在。
查文斌瞥见那身白衣，不客气地说道：“赶紧消失！”
那少女见识过他的本事，哪里还敢逗留？影子立马就薄了。查文斌突然间又想起了什么，问道：“你家主子呢，怎么没上来？”
少女身形一稳，先是作了个揖，这才说道：“我刚下去，就被一股很大的力量往上拉扯，不由自主地就来到了地面上，上来才知道是您在作法。我家主子，在我出来之前还被困在下面，他好像逃不出那个禁地。”
查文斌听完，若有所思，挥了挥手：“先走吧。”
那女子再作了个揖，马上消失得无影无踪。
查文斌此时已是满身大汗，他本来就大病初愈，背上的伤口现在正隐隐作痛。“唉！”一声叹息过后，查文斌俯身去拾起那个娃娃，拿在手中一看，娃娃的背部豁然已经裂开了。查文斌看着手中娃娃的裂痕，是炸开的，因为破损的纹路并不规则。这种程度的裂缝是怎样造成的？那只有人在极端用力挣扎的时候才会出现，就是我们俗话说的把衣服都挣破了。
“怎么会这样？”这个娃娃的布料就是普通的“的确良”，虽说不上有多牢固，但拿的时候还是崭新的啊，这可是他自己亲手缝制的。打开那裂缝一看，里面的头发有明显的拉扯痕迹，在放进之前，查文斌是很小心、很仔细地梳理过的。
what does this mean?这意味着他闺女是听到自己的召唤的！她很想上来见一次爹爹，却被某种力量牢牢地禁锢着，她使劲地挣扎，使劲地反抗，以至于衣服都弄破了，而那个该死的力量竟然还抓住她的头发。
She is still a child!查文斌仰天长啸：“为什么要这样对我！”
“轰隆”一声巨响，一道巨大的闪电划过，“啪”的一声，眼前一阵青烟冒起，女儿的那座小坟包瞬间被劈去了一半，等查文斌看清的时候，眼泪忍不住“嗒嗒”的流下来。
那小坟包本身就不大，棺材的前半截已经露出了地面，上面还冒着丝丝黑烟，如同那白衣少女所说，果真有一颗已经枯萎了的灵芝歪倒在一旁。
此情此景，别说他是一个父亲，就是旁人也受不了。过去我们骂人祖坟被雷劈，算是极其恶毒的诅咒了。今儿，大年三十，老天爷当着他的面，硬生生地劈了他闺女的坟！
查文斌犹如疯了一般，扒拉着棺材边上的泥土，连黑子都老实地窝在一旁，只“呜呜”地哼着。这儿已经不能再埋人了，但凡被老天爷诅咒过的地方，死去的人永远不会得到安息！
不一会儿，那通体不过一米的棺材就被查文斌给扒拉出来了，他不是一个合格的父亲，但今天无论如何，也要做一个合格的道士。
开始下雨了，豆大的雨点砸在地上，不一会儿，那坟堆里的泥浆便与混成了一片，查文斌还在继续扒拉着，他不能让自己的闺女暴尸荒野。看着那已经成了水潭的地面，他忘记了冷，忘记了痛，泪水混合着冰冷的雨水，模糊了视线。
身上的关节开始隐隐作痛，他已经失去了哭的力气，也不知是不是被折磨得太久，他已经搬不动那副薄棺了。父母的坟墓就在不远处，查文斌大喊道：“爹啊，娘啊，你们为什么就不好好保佑她呢？你们为什么连自己的亲孙女都照顾不好啊！”
雨势越来越大，风越刮越厉害，此时离查文斌离开家中已经有个把小时，连那春节联欢晚会都进入了最后一个环节，漂亮的女演员在电视上哼着《难忘今宵》，卓雄在火盆前急得直跺脚。
他还没回来，又不知是去了哪里。横肉脸已经在锅里烧好开水，准备等查文斌回来给他做上一碗热气腾腾的饺子，大肉馅的。可等一锅水都烧干了，他还是没回来。
卓雄拿起家里的斗笠和蓑衣就准备出去找，却听见门口有“汪汪”的狗叫声，“是黑子，他回来了。”喜出望外的卓雄推开门，发现门口只有一条被淋得透湿，还在瑟瑟发抖的大黑狗，嘴中还叼着一样东西：乾坤袋！
这个东西他很熟悉，查文斌从不离身的物件只有这个袋子、那把七星剑和大印，这下突然被黑子带回来，定是有事发生。
卓雄赶忙朝着屋里喊道：“快出来，文斌哥可能出事了！”横肉脸赶忙放下手中的瓢，拿起一把旧伞，一个箭步冲到门外。
卓雄拿下黑子口中的袋子，又拍了一把它的脖子说道：“快，带我们去找！”
黑子立马掉转身去，在雨中狂奔开来，后面的卓雄和横肉脸紧紧跟上，朝着茶叶地那片坟林跑去……
雨越下越大，上山的道路开始变得泥泞不堪，卓雄和横肉脸深一脚浅一脚地跟在黑子后头穿过了一个又一个坟包。远处的那片板栗林里乍隐乍现的几朵磷火在四处飘荡着，连一向最见不得这些东西的黑子都顾不上了，直奔那上头而去。
不远处，一个男人趴在一个小坟堆上，任由雨点无情地砸在他的背上，周围散落着一柄七星剑和一地的冥纸，这要是在白天，一准会被当成个死人了。卓雄翻过查文斌，他身下那口小木棺几乎没有被雨淋湿。
“文斌哥，你醒醒！”风雨中，卓雄摇晃着他的身子，可查文斌此时却如同一摊烂泥般。卓雄用手指试了一下他的呼吸，道：“还有呼吸，不过温度很高，在发烧，赶紧送下山去。”
横肉脸背起查文斌便要下山，卓雄拾起地上的东西正准备走，转头看见那口小棺材——这是文斌哥用身体挡住的东西。他立马脱下身上的蓑衣小心地盖在那棺材上，这才跟着一块儿下山了。
回到家中，先是给查文斌换了身干净的衣服，又差横肉脸把火盆弄得更旺一点。而查文斌依旧处于昏迷中，瑟瑟发抖的身体滚烫滚烫的。
这大半夜的小山村里，又是年三十，根本找不到医生，卓雄只得从厨房里找了些生姜来，做了一碗姜茶，然后扶住查文斌的身子，好歹灌了一点下去。横肉脸则不停地往返于水缸和床边，替查文斌更换额头上的那块毛巾，只要温度降下来一切都好办了。
终于在天亮时，查文斌的体温算是恢复了正常，折腾了一宿的两人也就趴在床头昏昏睡去，一直到门外响起“咚咚咚”的敲门声：“文斌哥，瞎子，起来开门啦！”
卓雄和横肉脸先后惊醒，一听声音，好了，那个讨债鬼到了。顶着两对黑眼圈，两人爬起床来去开门。
门口好不热闹，超子、冷怡然、何老、赵所长，还有一个胖胖的家伙他们不认得，全都大包小包地提着年货，脸上都洋溢着新年的喜庆。
超子第一个进门打了招呼：“瞎子，在这儿过得咋样？哟，大块头兄弟也在啊。给你们拜年了。对了，文斌哥怎么没出来？是不是在里面替我们准备午饭呢？”
小魔女今天穿了一身火红的羽绒服，脚下蹬着锃亮的皮靴，把一副好身材衬托到了完美，也跟在一旁起哄：“就是嘛，文斌哥都不出来接我们，我还要问他讨红包呢。”
卓雄面露难色地说道：“唉，我也不知道说什么好。总之，你们自己进去看吧，他还在睡着，你们轻点儿……”
看着他那副苦瓜脸，超子心头就升起不好的预感，嘴里飞出一句：“操，让你看好他的。让开。”推开卓雄，他刚走进院子，房门“吱呀”一声打开了。查文斌披着老棉袄笑着说道：“正月初一说话要注意，别脏话连篇，好歹也是个大人了。”
超子才不过几天没见着，这下可乐坏了，上去就一个熊抱，顺势就给了他一拳说道：“我还以为你怎么了呢。”就这么一拳，打得查文斌气血翻涌，当场一口血就喷了出来，超子还一点不知情地继续抱着，看得冷怡然一声尖叫：“啊！”手中的礼品顺势就掉到了地上，那些个罐头当场就摔了个粉碎。
躺在屋内的查文斌脸上挤出一点微笑看着把自己围得团团转的众人，摆摆手示意没多大事。何老则一直在训斥超子，连赵所长也加入了批斗大会，你一句我一句地把他弄得羞愧难当，只好骂卓雄：“瞎子，你知道他有伤，昨晚干吗不一起上？”
卓雄一时语塞：“我……我……”
还是小魔女敢骂：“你别老欺负卓大哥，这事明明就是你的不对，做事毛手毛脚的，下手不知轻重，哦，你就不知道文斌哥刚出院啊！”
被一顿骂后，超子是一句话也没了，只盼着查文斌能没事。最后还是查文斌来打圆场，他看着那胖乎乎的人说道：“金馆长，你怎么也来了？”
本来站在人群后面的那个胖子往前挤了一步，满脸媚笑地说道：“嘿嘿，查先生，您是我的救命恩人，又给我重新排了风水，我能不来拜年吗？”说罢，又看了一眼赵所长。说实话，这里的人他最怕的就是那浑小子，他又说道，“这不赶巧遇到赵所长他们也在外面，就一起进来了。”
查文斌也是个聪明人，这金馆长做的是死人生意，无事不登三宝殿，稍微欠起身来，超子给扶了一把让他靠在床头，查文斌说道：“金馆长，既然是这样，那我也谢谢你的好意。不过今天是年初一，咱不谈那些个东西，怕犯了神灵，你要有事，过了正月十五再来。”
见查文斌下了封口令，这金馆长自然也就识趣了，这道士绝对是他见过最牛的，不顺着他的心，那是绝对请不动的，于是他转身便想走。可他还没退到人群外，想想还是硬着头皮说道：“不是，查先生，您就帮帮我吧，不然我家这年都没法过了。”
超子本来这肚子里就窝火，这不刚好逮着机会了，开口说道：“你没见着我文斌哥不舒服啊，都说了今天不谈那些事，你找不自在是吗？要不是年初一，我把你丢出门去你信不！”
金馆长是冷汗连连啊，赵所长的手段他是知道的，没想到这小子比他还横，他只好耷拉着脑袋转身走开，还没走到门外，查文斌喊道：“罢了，你说吧，什么事？”
超子小声问道：“你这能行吗？”查文斌摇摇手：“不碍事。”
金馆长听到查文斌的回答，就像捡了大红包似的，那张苦瓜脸立马就恢复了原样，又挤进了人堆里，到了查文斌床头前，可怜巴巴地说道：“查先生，你这次可得救救我啊……”
这金馆长自从按照查文斌的吩咐种了梧桐，布下那落凤坡之后，这殡仪馆里闹鬼的事情就没出现过了，生意也是越发的好，这钱赚得哗啦啦的。
可是，好日子不长久，大概是在查文斌去了四川之后，殡仪馆里拉来一具无名尸体。这在他那也不算什么事，一般警察发现了这种确定不了身份的尸体都会在留下证据之后，先放到殡仪馆冷藏起来，等收集了线索破案之后再处理。
这种尸体他那儿有不下二十具，就把它跟往常一样放进了冷库里。那尸体进来之后的第二天，他就接到了手下的报告，说是养在落凤坡里的一只大公鸡昨晚上不知道被什么东西咬死了，血都给吸干了，邪门得很。
这些大公鸡可都是他从四乡八邻那买来的，目的就是当凤凰使，对于这群鸡，他可是看得比员工还重要，天天好料子喂着，就怕得罪这群爷。现在可好，死了一只，还这么奇怪。看着那大公鸡的尸体，金馆长怕事情传出去影响人心，便让手下悄悄给处理掉了。
就在那天晚上，留下值班的人就说听到冷库里有人敲箱子，装死人用的都是一格一格的钢制冷柜，那玩意敲起来可响了，吓得那值班的哥们都快尿裤子了，连夜就跑回老家。这天一早，金馆长才来上班，手下又提来一只大公鸡，跟前面那只一样的死法，血被吸干。
这事很快就在内部传开了。这在殡仪馆上班，本来干的就是脏活、累活，要不是图个编制，谁愿意跟死人打交道啊？当天几个胆子小的就要辞职，被金馆长用加薪的理由给留了下来，又差人去买了两只大公鸡补上。
这后来啊，公鸡以每天一只的死亡速度在继续，谁也不知道是怎么回事。而那冷库里的敲击声也越来越响，闹得是人心惶惶，鸡犬不宁啊。金馆长那会儿就想到了查文斌，过来一打听，人不在，去省城了，又辗转托人找到了赵所长，才知道查文斌去了四川。
他没法子，便去找了一个土道士，那道士跑去要了一笔钱，就给做了场法事，信誓旦旦地保证说以后没事了。没想到那道士一走，事情就更加糟糕了……
本以为这下平安无事了，金馆长当晚便美滋滋地回了家，连日的阴霾哪里有好好睡过一次？吃过晚饭他倒头就睡。
半夜里，电话铃声突然响起，金馆长披着睡衣不情愿地爬起来接电话：“谁呀，大半夜的，有什么事？”
电话那头急切地说道：“金馆长，是我，小李啊。不好啦，出大事啦，负责化妆的那个老周死啦，你快点来吧！”
“啪……”他手中的电话机直接掉到了地上。这有的死人得早上出殡，为了给亲人留下最好的一面，往往就需要化妆。这化妆时间呢，多半都是在晚上进行，天亮时亲人赶到灵堂里悼念一下就给拉进去烧了。生意好的时候，一个化妆师一晚上得干三四单生意才能回家休息，若是遇到那些因为车祸毁容的，那可就忙活开了。
这给死人化妆，自古就是门手艺，现在的这些小姑娘宁可去美容院给那些有钱人化，也不愿意给死人化。
金馆长这儿长期负责化妆的是一个老头，姓周，他本来是在剧场里给京剧演员化妆的，干了大半辈子之后退休了，可儿子不争气，就晓得吃喝嫖赌，欠了一屁股债。迫不得已，老周来到殡仪馆给死人化妆。why?因为这工资高啊，这活儿可不是一般人敢做的，金馆长对老周的手艺是相当满意，他硬是能把死变了色的化成刚睡着的，这下他出事了，金馆长可有的恨了。
匆匆穿起衣服跟老伴打了个招呼，金所长便下楼发动了桑塔纳直奔殡仪馆而去。那会儿法医都来了，因为都是熟人，事情处理起来倒是不麻烦。只是老周那个泼皮无赖的儿子非要找他麻烦，金馆长没办法，只能先给了一笔钱。
事情还没消停呢，第二天，整个落凤坡里的公鸡一只都不剩，全部死得干干净净。金馆长记得查文斌曾经说过这公鸡的重要性，马上去人家养殖场里预定，可送过来一批死一批。最后啊，连烧炉子的工人都不敢再接着干活了，那冰库里的敲击声倒是越来越大了。
金馆长没办法，只能再去找那道士，那道士说是那天拉来的尸体作祟，一把火给烧了就没事了。金馆长把心一横，派人拖出那具无名尸，就给塞进了高压炉子里。The tragedy happened like this.
这种高压炉因为采用高压的原理，所以烧得又快又干净，平时价格比普通炉子还贵呢。人刚塞进去没多久。“轰隆”一声巨响，炉子炸了！烧炉子的那工人当场就给炸昏了过去，还没送到医院，人就没了。怪的是里面的那具尸体，竟然完好无损地躺在那儿，只有外面的捆尸袋给烧掉了一点儿。这不，只好把尸体重新放进了冷库里，现在还在那儿冻着呢。
锅炉厂里来人检查说是操作不当，压力过高造成。因为这事啊，在当地引起了不小的轰动，上面派人来检查，各种不合格的理由都下来了，停业整顿一个月。
这金馆长是有苦说不出啊，可接连两条人命出了，怪事那么一大堆。一个月的整顿之后，哪里还有人肯来上班？人家宁可去工地上搬砖头也不愿意来占这个编制，为啥？搬砖头顶多是出点力气、流点汗，可在殡仪馆里，随时都可能要命啊！
金馆长这是真没办法了。他一打听到查文斌回来了，这不一大早就提着年货来了，准备请查文斌出山，可没想到查文斌自个儿也出事了。
说完这些，金馆长已经是老泪纵横了，不知道的人以为他是怕了，了解他的人诸如赵所长明白他那是心疼钱没了。
查文斌经过一番休息，气色已经好了不少，听完这一茬子事，就示意卓雄把乾坤袋拿来，从里面掏出一张镇宅符递给了金馆长，说道：“这个你拿回去，贴在大门内侧正上方，可以保你到正月十五没问题。等过了十五，我再过去看看，最近殡仪馆就别去了。”
金馆长看着手上那符纸，心有不甘地说道：“这贴上去就没事了？”
查文斌笑笑说：“只能保你到十五，你如果还有事，就留下来一块吃午饭，如果没事，就拿回去贴着吧。”
见查文斌下了逐客令，超子不客气地说道：“我文斌哥说话你还不信？也活该你倒霉找个假道士，怎么，还想留下吃午饭吗？”
金馆长一看这家伙也不是什么善茬，连忙把那符纸小心收好说道：“那就不打扰查先生休息了，改日金某再登门拜访，那十五一过？”
查文斌挥挥手：“你先走吧，我会去的。”
金馆长如释重负，只要他肯出山，就一定没问题。查文斌的手段他在王庄可是见过的，那可是真神仙，连忙谢过后便告辞了。
待金馆长走后，超子嘀咕道：“一看就不像是好人。”恰好被背后的冷怡然给听见了，笑骂道：“我看你才不是好人呢。饭做好了，大家过来吃吧，文斌哥，你要不行，我给你端过来喂你。”
查文斌扶着床沿站了起来说道：“哎哟，不碍事，我还没到那程度，只是昨晚上劳累过度了，加上老伤有淤血一直在，超子那一拳刚好都给打出来了，休息休息就没事了。”
说到了昨晚上，卓雄就有疑问，便问道：“文斌哥，昨晚……”
查文斌使了一个眼色，道：“没事，就是累了。快，都去吃饭吧。让我们尝尝冷姑娘的手艺，呵呵。”
说实话，冷怡然做菜的手艺还真不赖，几个小菜做得有模有样。可惜查文斌不能喝酒，让他们几个人落了个痛快，席间倒也还算热闹，不愉快的话谁也没说。
到了下午，赵所长因为还要去拜年，要走的地方多，便打算先回去了。冷怡然有事也要先走。再加上何老还要去王庄走亲戚，就这样，他们几个便一起先走了。
这下可好了，就剩下超子、卓雄和横肉脸三人陪着查文斌。他们先是去村长家里借来三轮车，把镇上的医生给“请”了过来。说是请，不如说是被硬拉过来的，那医生本来正在家里休息呢。
那医生给查文斌检查后，说没什么大碍，只是受了风寒，出了点瘀血，多多休息就好，又开了点药让超子回去抓。经这么一折腾，就到了晚饭时间。
其间，村子里的不少人也来看了查文斌。查文斌一一谢过这些村民，超子则提议晚上四个人打牌，可不想却被查文斌拒绝了。
吃过晚饭，收拾干净后，查文斌便起身沐浴去了，洗完澡他换了套道袍出来，惹得他们几人非常不解，超子拿着扑克牌问道：“大年初一的，你这是要干啥去？”
查文斌又去后屋翻，随手拿出几把锄头和镐子丢过来说：“今晚有两件事：第一件事，帮我埋了我闺女；第二件事，挖坟！”
超子看着卓雄问道：“这是怎么回事？”卓雄两手一摊：“你别问我，去了就知道了，他的个性你还不知道吗？”
查文斌拿起了家伙，一拍黑子的脖子喊道：“伙计，走！”
四个人一条狗，趁着漆黑的夜晚，再次摸上了那片坟地……
