Chapter 152: Opening the Coffin

"Dad, what are you thinking?"

I noticed that my father looked strange and walked to my father.

The father took a deep breath, his face showing an incredible look, as if he was talking to himself: "Impossible...this...this is impossible..."

My heart skipped a beat: "Dad, what's wrong with you? What's impossible?"

My father looked back at me: "Jiujizi, do you know? I had a dream a few days ago!"

"What dream?" I asked, guessing in my heart that maybe the dream my father had was related to this coffin.

My father looked at the sky and then at the stone coffin: "I dreamed of your grandpa!"

"My grandpa?!" My grandpa is my father's father. It is normal for him to dream of his dead father.

My father said, "Do you know, my father died when I was very young. My mother told me that my father went to the mountains to hunt, but fell off the cliff and died. I was only two or three years old when my father died. I had no impression of my father at all, and I didn't know what my father looked like. I have never dreamed of him for so many years. It was strange a few days ago that I actually saw my father in my dream, and I even saw him in my dream!"

"What did grandpa tell you in his dream?" I asked my dad, I guess my dad didn't come for no reason.

The father frowned and slowly recalled: "Your grandpa didn't say much. I only remember him telling me that the place where he lives was wet and cold, and it was not very comfortable! This dream has been entangled in my heart. You know that if the dead relatives ask for a dream, they should try their best to help them fulfill their wishes. Your grandpa said that the place where he lives was uncomfortable. I thought it was referring to this old house, so I hurriedly found someone to repair the house. In fact, it was caused by this dream!"

It turned out that it was my grandfather who asked my father to dream. In order to fulfill his grandfather's wish, my father was so anxious to ask someone to repair the house.

Why did grandpa say that the place where he lives is wet and cold?

My eyes swept through the deep pit under my feet, and my heart suddenly jumped, wet and cold?

In an instant, I seemed to understand something.

I pulled my dad's sleeve, pointed to the puddle in the pit and said, "Maybe what my grandfather said is wet and cold, not the old house, but here!"

There is a puddle of water in the pit. If it is soaked in the puddle, wouldn’t it be wet and cold?

If we use this inference, then the stone coffin is likely to be...

grandfather!

The stone coffin contains grandpa's body!!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

My father said, "I was thinking about this problem just now. When I saw the puddle in the deep pit, I naturally thought of what your grandfather said to me with a dream!"

I looked at the stone coffin with bright eyes. Is it really my grandfather's body inside the coffin?

However, there is a logic here that doesn't make sense. Grandma said that grandpa fell down a cliff and died, and even the body was not retrieved. Since there were no corpses, the coffin would naturally not be grandpa!

But if the coffin is not containing grandpa, then who will it be?

Then again, if the coffin is really the body of my grandfather, then it can only be said one problem. Grandma lied to us. She always knew that her grandfather was buried under the foundation of the old house, but lied that her grandfather fell off the cliff and could not even find the capital.

But what I don’t quite understand is that everyone is a family, why did grandma tell us this lie?

There are two situations: one, she doesn't want us to see grandpa; the other, she is keeping this secret for grandpa.

In either case, I think this is strange.

There is another problem. If the coffin contains grandpa, then when the old house was built, grandpa was still alive. After grandpa passed away, he was buried under the foundation, rather than what we had imagined before, the house that was buried first and then repaired.

Unfortunately, grandma has passed away for many years, and maybe grandma is the only person who can solve this mystery.

"Jiu Lizi, what do you think?" My father looked at me, and I saw a questioning look in his eyes.

We are two fathers and sons. My father only needs one look and I understand what he thinks. I bit my lip and said, "Dad, do you want it..."

"Open the coffin! Yes, open the coffin! Only by opening the coffin can you solve this mystery!" said the father firmly.

Actually, I already knew my father’s idea of ​​opening the coffin from my father’s eyes, but when the word “opening the coffin” was really spoken from my father’s mouth, my heart still trembled inexplicably.

I looked at my dad, then at the stone coffin: "Dad, are you sure?"

The father sighed and nodded solemnly: "I'm sure!"

Opening a coffin is a major event. Because the deceased is the greatest, no one can force the coffin to be opened after being buried in the soil, otherwise it will be a great disrespect to the deceased and will be punished by God in serious cases. There is a saying called "the final conclusion of the coffin", which means that after covering the coffin, everything will become a foregone conclusion.

The reason why those native masters had short lives and were punished by God was because they had opened too many coffins.

I can understand my father's mood. He made up his mind to find out the truth of the matter no matter what.

Indeed, a coffin was buried under the foundation of my own house and I didn’t know about it for decades. It’s incredible to think about it. If anyone puts it on everyone, anyone wants to figure out the strangeness!

The father said: "Just open the coffin, you can determine the identity of the person in the coffin. If it weren't your grandfather, who would it be? Why was it buried under the foundation of our house? If it was your grandfather, why didn't he land a grave, but he would hide under the foundation? Why did your grandmother still lie to him? I need to figure out all these things!"

"Okay! Since that's the case, then open the coffin!" I nodded. The problems that my father wanted to figure out were exactly what I wanted to figure out, so I agreed with my father's suggestion to open the coffin.

"Jiu Lizi, are you... sure you want to open the coffin? Is there something wrong with it?" asked Foreman Zhao.

"What's wrong? Isn't you just afraid? It doesn't matter. If you are afraid, just say yes, you can't come when you open the coffin!" Lei Zi spoke very directly, and he exposes Foreman Zhao's thoughts in one sentence, which makes Foreman Zhao very embarrassed, blushed and unable to come down from Taiwan.

I patted Foreman Zhao on the shoulder: "Mr. Zhao, please take your brothers back first. I will open the coffin tonight. If it's okay, I will notify you tomorrow! Do you think it's okay?"

I have given Foreman Zhao a step. Foreman Zhao was waiting for this sentence and nodded without hesitation: "Okay! OK! No problem! Anyway, if there is no problem tonight, you can contact me directly tomorrow and I will bring my brothers to continue working!"

After saying this, Foreman Zhao hurriedly called the workers and said goodbye to us and left.

Lei Zi curled his lips: "This person surnamed Zhao is such a coward!"

I smiled and said, "We can't blame Foreman Zhao, we are just here to work, so there is no need to get into this muddy water, right? If something happens, we can't take responsibility!"

Lei Zi rolled his nostrils and said carelessly: "What accident can happen if something happens? What accident can be caused by breaking the coffin in one mouthful?"

As soon as this said, Lei Zi seemed to feel something was wrong again and smiled awkwardly at me: "Don't mind, I don't mean to scold your grandpa!"

"It's okay!" I waved my hand and thrust my mouth: "Who is in the coffin is still undecided. Maybe it's not my grandfather?"

Foreman Zhao and his team left, and there were only four people left in the yard.

Me, my mother, dad, and Lei Zi.

I said to Leizi, "Or you should avoid it too? Anyway, this is the housework of our Xiao family. Your surname is Shi, so you don't have to take risks with us!"

"Fart!" Lei Zi immediately became anxious when he heard what I said. He roared at me with red eyebrows and green eyes: "Jiu Lizi, you are your uncle, do you look down on others? What do you mean? Your housework? Your housework has nothing to do with me? Your housework is not my housework? You don't treat me as a brother at all?"

"Oh! Oh!" I quickly raised my palm: "I've said the wrong thing, okay? Just pretend I just farted!"

I saw Lei Zi's roaring soundly, for fear that he would swallow me by accident.

It was getting dark soon, and the four of us had simply used supper and waited for midnight to come.

Midnight is the time period with the heaviest yin energy in the day, so it is most suitable to open the coffin during this period.

The attributes of the coffin should be avoided as much as possible.

The yang energy in broad daylight is too heavy and it is not suitable for opening a coffin. These are basic rules, but many laymen do not understand it.

I asked my mother to catch a big red rooster from the backyard, put the rooster on the stone coffin, and observe the rooster's reaction.

The rooster sat steadily on the coffin without any unusual reaction, which shows that the possibility of something evil in the coffin is very small.

"Don't you need to kill a chicken?" Leizi asked me.

"Why do you want to kill a chicken?" I asked back.

Lei Zi licked his lips: "I thought I was going to kill the chicken and sacrifice, but I thought I would have a local chicken to eat tomorrow!"

"Eat your sister's big head ghost, go there, don't make a fuss here!" I kicked Lei Zi's butt and kicked him to the side.

I asked my mother to take away the big red rooster and placed an incense burner on the lid of the coffin.

In the hands of the four of us, each holding three incense sticks, starting with my father, burning incense in turn.

If the sarcophagus contains the corpse of grandfather, this is also a kind of respect for one's ancestors, and the ancestors usually won't get angry.

Then, I lit a white candle on the four corners of the coffin, and told Lei Zi to watch out for these candles and not let them go out. In addition, if the candlelight changes color, I should also inform me in time.
