Looking at Malachi's eyes suddenly falling on me, and Malachi's low words, my whole person was frozen in shock.
I opened my mouth wide, and some could not speak, and it took me half a day to look at Malachi, and some uncertain voices asked Malachi.
"Malachi, do you, do you, do you want me to carry Grandpa?"
This is really a little bit scared me, my filial piety to grandpa is absolutely true, but I'm just an 18-year-old boy, want me to carry a corpse?
Although this is my grandfather, but this sounds a little creepy, my resistance is instinctive strengthening.
Still, I looked at Malachi with a glimmer of hope that he would reverse his decision in the end, but as soon as I finished speaking, Malachi nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, you carry it."
I opened my mouth, wanting to say no, but I didn't know what to say, and Malachi's voice came out again.
He told me that now the grandpa's body has gathered Yin Sha, and I am a boy's body, the body Yang heavy, let me back grandpa, is to avoid easy to go wrong in the middle.
Things were only going to get worse, and at the same time, my dad was by my side telling me to just let me carry the body, and he and Malachi were going to follow.
So let me not be afraid, I listened to my father's words, my heart slightly relaxed a lot, although I was a little afraid to carry grandpa's body, but when Malachi was around, my heart was inexplicably relieved.
Finally, I nodded my head and said that I back it, afraid to fear, let grandpa bury early is a big thing, people who have died, do not bury for a long time, this is the great unfilial of future generations.
After I said yes, Malachi nodded, then took out the vermilion, and pointed it directly at my brow. Not enough, Malachi found a thin needle, directly pierced my index finger, and then pointed the drop of blood that emerged on my brow.
At this moment, I saw that Malachi's whole face had become a little solemn.
My heart froze slightly, feeling a bad omen, and Malachi took a deep breath and, sure enough, spoke to me.
"Son, on the way, I must tell you, there are some things you must remember."
There's nothing I can do about this situation, which is why I have to listen to whatever Malachi has to say.
Then Malachi spoke out and told me that Grandpa's body was a little heavy, so on the road, it was inevitable that some things would attract around Grandpa, and what I had to do was to ignore them.
No matter what they say or do, I must act as if I have seen nothing, and go straight ahead, and the reason why I point cinnabar and child's blood between my eyes is to seal my life door.
I wouldn't let those things get to me, so Malachi assured me that as long as I ignored them, there was nothing they could do to me.
I saw the heaviness on Malachi's face, and knowing that what he told me was crucial, I nodded to Malachi solemnly.
However, when I saw Malachi's hesitation, I knew that he must have something to say. I did not disturb him and waited for Malachi.
After a few moments of silence, Malachi spoke again.
"One more thing, and the most important thing, you must remember that if, and I mean if, something happens to your grandfather's body in the middle of the journey, whatever it may be, you must remember that the feet of the body must not touch the ground."
Malachi's voice was full of gravity, and my heart sank slightly, listening to Malachi's meaning, Grandpa's body may still go wrong on the road.
By the way, Malachi said before that if I carry the body, because I am a child, I can frighten the Yin in Grandpa's body, so grandpa's chances of going wrong will be much smaller.
It's just a lot smaller, which means things can still go wrong.
As I pondered, Malachi's voice came again.
"All right, that's all there is to tell you. Now, my son, take the body on your back and go to the grave."
As Malachi sipped, I reached the bed, half-crouched down, and my father reached the bed and lifted up Grandpa's body.
My dad asked me if I was ready? I nodded, and immediately felt two cold arms on my shoulders, and my heart suddenly felt that my heart had begun to speed up a little.
And not waiting for me to ease how much, I felt that Grandpa's whole body was directly on my back, I immediately spit out with a calm breath, stood up, and quickly supported Grandpa's two legs with two hands.
At this time, I was also surprised to find that although grandpa's body was cold, his muscles were not stiff.
As soon as I put it, Grandpa's legs were naturally complete, and I was much easier to carry.
I raised my head to look at Malachi in front of me, and Malachi's frown did not loose, and I saw Malachi's hand more than a pile of paper money.
Malachi was walking in front of me, and I was walking in the middle, and my dad was behind me, until Malachi stepped out of the door with one foot, and I saw some of the paper money in Malachi's hand, and it went straight into the air.
"Yin people to excuse me."
A slight sound came from Malachi's mouth, perhaps for fear of alarming the people in the village. Malachi's voice was quiet, but it was already late at night, and most of them were already asleep.
I don't know if it was because of what Malachi had said before, but at this moment I was carrying my grandfather's body, and my eyes couldn't help looking around.
"Don't look around. Just go."
Suddenly, Malachi's reminding voice came, and my heart suddenly looked at Malachi's back. When I was a child, I did a lot of farm work, carrying grandpa's body, and did not feel tired.
All the way in the village, there was no accident, and at that moment when I left the village, my whole body was violently hit a cold shiver.
My heart suddenly froze, secretly swallowed a mouthful, in front of Malachi's deep voice, I also suddenly sounded Malachi told me before those words.
I felt a cold sweat begin to appear on my forehead, but I knew I could not make a mess on my body now, and I continued to step forward.
At the same time, I felt a dark wind coming towards me.
My pupils dilated as my peripheral vision caught an old man dressed in black at my side.
The main thing is that the old man looks very pale, and in front of the black clothes he is wearing, there is a large longevity word, which is a shroud.
"Marcus, why can't you?"
A faint voice came, I felt as if there was cold air blowing in my ears, Marcus is my grandfather's name, and I also know the old man beside me.
In the village, there was an uncle who passed away for more than half a year. Usually, he had a good relationship with his grandpa. When he was alive, he came to his grandpa for tea.
The most important thing is that now this uncle is not going to go with grandpa's side, but also constantly talking to grandpa, which makes my ears itch, mainly my vest, a chill.
"Yin people to excuse me."
Suddenly, Malachi's voice came from the front, which got into my ears and cleared my mind a lot.
I picked up my pace a little, followed Malachi, and couldn't wait to reach Grandpa's grave.
"Guys, Marcus has been a great guy all his life, so come out and give him something!"
At that moment, I suddenly heard a small shout in my ear, but there was still a lot of dark air in this sound, but this directly made my whole body froze in place.
You guys?
What's going on here? Is this uncle going to bring everything in the neighborhood? They mean well, for Grandpa, but what the fuck am I dealing with?
Unconsciously, I found that my legs had begun to tremble a little, and a whine was heard around me.
Malachi in front of me also stopped, and my heart clicked, and my gut told me something was going on.
