Chapter 119: Rayfa
We piled up dead branches in front of the "grave", lit a fire, and when the fire burned vigorously, we threw away all the things that shouldn't be there.
Soon the thick layer of human skin burned with a crackling crackling sound, and the dense beetle writhed and turned to ashes.
When these things were burned, there was a burnt smell of burning proteins, which was not strong compared to the plasma, but several people present covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.
"Uncle Chu, let's have two pillars of incense." After Xiaopang made a simple "tombstone", Jiu Ye lit a few incense candles, Uncle Chu heard this, walked over tremblingly, took the handful of sandalwood, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and cried prayerfully for a long time.
Looking at his old age, he was a little unbearable, and let Jiu Ye take care of the funeral with them, and I ran to the side of the hill with Xiaopang and lit two cigarettes to rest for a while.
Sitting on the grassy hillside, I felt an indescribable sense of tranquility and peace, and the rows of sorghum corn rustling in the breeze made me feel very intimate. Chubby was leaning on a large rock, holding a hairy grass in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. After the time when there was a stick of incense, Jin Jiuye, Director Xu, and Uncle Na Chu came over together, the two of them were not as restrained as they were at the beginning, and they looked relaxed when they talked and laughed.
"Done?" Tilting over to look at them, Chubby asked.
"Of course." The ninth master said, and threw the shovel over with a flick of his hand. Chubby reacted quickly and grabbed it. At this time, I also threw myself off the dust and stood up.
The five of them walked down the hill slowly and leisurely with a variety of belongings. All I heard along the way were Uncle Chu's words of gratitude. Back in Uncle Chu's courtyard, there was already a large group of people watching the excitement outside, and those people looked at us differently, but they were a lot kinder than just now.
Director Xu saw that Yiqiē had done it properly and wanted to count the money for us, but Jiu Ye waved his hand and didn't accept it, and jumped into the car directly.
We all understood what he meant, and politely declined their invitation and prepared to leave, at this time, the grateful Uncle Chu hurriedly ran over, pulled the car door and said that he would not let us go. The ninth master said that he still had something to do, so he didn't stay longer. The uncle said how can this work, no matter what, you have to finish eating before leaving, just borrowed two roosters and said that you can't afford anything.
Seeing that this matter was really unavoidable, the ninth master agreed, and together with Director Xu, he re-erected the toppled wall and asked me and Xiaopang to go to the town to buy something. I know that he is afraid that he will not have enough food to eat at night, and he does not want the old couple to be too burdened. After all, the old couple is not rich.
We said yes and drove away, buying a few bottles of good wine in the town, and some pastries and gifts. This calculation cost more than 2,000 at once. Chubby is a little strange, saying that he is eating and buying this, what are he doing? I said that these were bought for the old man Chen next door, and I would ask him for money when the time came. When the little fat heard it, he didn't ask again, jumped out of the car and bought a case of beer and got a lot of cooked vegetables or something, looking at the left and right packs are all some food, I am really a little funny, look at this fat thief looks big, I didn't think it was still a clever senior foodie.
When I came back, I told Jiu Ye about the matter, Jiu Ye nodded and was very satisfied, he did not go over in person, but entrusted me to bring those gifts to Uncle Chen, I often do this kind of thing, and I passed over with my hand and shoulder as soon as I agreed.
I have something I want to ask Old Man Chen, and the Ninth Master should know.
Old Man Chen's gate was not locked, and the open courtyard seemed very spacious, I stood at the door and shouted, and soon saw a woman walking out of the toilet next to me.
"What for?" Looking me up and down, the woman asked.
"Hello, the Ninth Master asked me to send it to Old Man Chen!" I said with a smile as I lifted the item in my hand.
"Oh, come in!" The woman said, waved my hand to let me in, and then shouted inside: "Dad, someone has given you a gift!" ”
"Let him in, you're busy." There was a sound of harmony in the room, and the woman shrugged her shoulders and left, looking at her very submissive. When I walked into the room on the east side, I saw Mr. Chen sitting on the kang and smoking, and the smoke in the room was almost invisible.
"You kid, why are you here again?" Knocking the cigarette pouch pot on the edge of the kang, the old man said with a smile.
"Give a gift, the ninth master asked me to send it." I smiled and pushed the things in my hand over, the old man squinted at me, and suddenly grinned: "Little rabbit, don't come with me, do you have something to ask me?" ”
"Hehe, how do you know~" I said, scratching my head and pretending to be honest, but I saw the old man waving his hand and sighing lightly, "If you want to tell fortunes, you can go back with something, I told you, I have washed my hands in a golden basin, even if you say anything, it is useless." ”
"You misunderstood, I came this time because there is one thing I haven't understood."
"Oh? You talk about it. Lifting his drooping eyelids, the old man was a little puzzled.
"A few months ago, I had an accident, that time, a lot of people died, but afterwards I can't remember what I encountered, every time I get there, I have a terrible headache, the ninth master They said, that time was because I practiced the "Burning Heaven Technique" to attract heavenly thunder, I want to know, those people, is it because of me."
After hearing this, the old man's face showed a deep sense of surprise, and he sat cross-legged and "looked" at me for a long time, then shook his head and sighed: "The injuries on your body are indeed caused by the thunder, but although the thunder is fierce, it does not hurt innocent people, if those people die at the same time as you, then there must be something strange about this matter." ”
"Are you sure?" When I heard this, I felt a lot more at ease, and I felt sorry for the misfortune of those who died for a long time. All along, I suspected that I had killed them. It was much easier to listen to the old man's words. But if it's not my fault, why is it? It was so unlucky to be struck by lightning in the tourist area!
Thinking of this, I suddenly had an idea, I looked at the old man, and then asked him very carefully: "Old man Chen, do you say that there is a spell in this world that can control the heavenly thunder?"
