Li Ying leaned in Li Yun's arms and saw a bamboo standing not far away through the rain and fog. There was a white flag hanging from the top of the bamboo, and the white flag fluttered in the wind.
A trace of curiosity appeared on Li Ying's face, she looked at Wang Qiang and asked, "Uncle Wang Qiang, why do you need a white cloth hanging on the bamboo pole?"
Wang Qiang looked into Li Ying's innocent eyes and said softly: "The custom here is that when a person passes away, a banner must be set up for the deceased. If you ask Mr. Yin and Yang to do it, the banner will be knotted, and we call it knotted banner." , the higher the Taoism of Mr. Yin Yang, the faster the flags will be tied, the better.”
Wang Qiang said, looking at the white flags swaying in the wind in the distance, with a smile on his face. He couldn't believe that with such a strong wind and Mr. Yin Yang's method, the flags would not be knotted.
Li Ying suddenly realized it and turned to look at Mr. Yin Yang who was standing in the mourning hall. She hadn't tied the knot yet. Could it be that Mr. Yin Yang's teachings were acceptable? "Ding Ding Dang Dang" sounded, and Mr. Yin and Yang began to make a dojo again, and he read the scriptures and wiwen.
"Wang Ping'an, is it okay to invite Mr. Yin and Yang? My brother-in-law's banner has not been tied yet." Li Mingdao.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Wang Ping'an looked sulky and said: "Li Ming, I don't want to hear what you say. These Yin and Yang gentlemen I invited are very famous from all over the country."
"Then please explain, today is the third day, why is there no movement at all?" Li Ming asked.
"Everything has accidents. Maybe we will tie the knot tomorrow." Wang Ping knew.
"I hope so!" Li Ming said.
Wang Jun, wearing sackcloth and mourning, stood alone in front of the mourning hall, bowing with Mr. Yin and Yang. His back looked lonely and desolate.
"Where did Wang Min go? Why can't he see anyone?" Song Taohua asked with a frown.
"I didn't sleep well last night, so I slept in the house." Li Fang said.
"Waiting for the coffin wrapping, you have to let Wang Min get up. They are also the sons and daughters of Weijie. We can't treat others favorably. Let Wang Jun do everything by himself." Song Taohua said.
"When Wang Min sleeps a little longer, I'll wake her up," Li Fang said.
The rain finally stopped and it was getting late. Li Yun looked at the gloomy sky and hesitated whether to go home.
Lin Qingxuan asked in a low voice: "It's getting dark, should we go home?"
"What if it rains again? Our whole bodies will be soaked by the rain. What should we do if we catch a cold?" Li Meng asked.
"You just stay here for one night and help with the night watch. There are so many people and it's less deserted." Wang Qiang tried his best to persuade him to stay.
Li Yun saw that Wang Qiang repeatedly tried to persuade them to stay and refused to give Wang Qiang face. However, Wang Qiang clearly knew that Li Ying was young and weak and could easily get into trouble. Wang Qiang still asked them to stay again and again, which made Li Yun's heart well up. Displeased.
"We are not iron men. We cannot stay up all night. We can only stay awake for half the night. We must rest in the second half of the night, otherwise we will not be energetic tomorrow."
Wang Qiang looked happy. Li Yun and the others would become more popular if they stayed, and they could also help guard them for half the night, which was already good.
"Thank you for staying." Wang Qiang said sincerely.
Lin Qingxuan and Li Meng looked at each other with a hint of displeasure in their eyes.
"We are friends, there is no need to be so polite." Lin Qingxuan said.
Wang Qiang's father, Wang Weiguang, and his younger brother, Wang Jun, moved tables and chairs and placed them in the yard. They also took out a large plate of melon seeds and peanuts and placed them on the table, inviting everyone to sit down.
Seeing that Li Ying was so young, Wang Pingzhi and Wang Ping'an's sons and daughters-in-law stayed behind and didn't go home. They planned to cook supper before going back to bed. Everyone sat together, cracking melon seeds, eating peanuts, and setting up a dragon gate formation, and the atmosphere became lively. .
When the neighbors next door saw so many people in Wang Jun's house, they had to come over to join in the fun.
Wang Jun walked to Wang Qiang and sat down with a tired look on his face, and said to Wang Qiang: "I'm going to take a rest. Call me if you need anything." Wang Qiang knew that Wang Jun had been busy these days and was very tired, so he said happily Said: "Okay, you go and rest, I have something to call you."
Li Ying followed Wang Jun and watched him walk into the room. She subconsciously focused on the black and white photo placed in the center of the memorial platform. Li Ying was definitely sure that the old man who followed Wang Qiang at the powder stall that day was also posing. The person in the photo in the center of the memorial platform.
The person in the photo suddenly laughed, which made Li Ying's scalp numb and she didn't dare to look at the photo again.
Wang Qiang saw Li Ying staring at the mourning platform and asked curiously: "Ying'er, what are you looking at?"
Li Ying replied: "I saw the person in the photo, your second uncle, smiling."
Everyone in the yard was stunned by Li Ying's words. How could the people in the photo smile? What a
Wang Weiguang's eyes tightened suddenly. This was the second time Ying'er saw her second uncle smiling on the spiritual photo. She felt a little uneasy and asked anxiously: "Ying'er, did you really see it?"
"I saw it." Li Ying said truthfully.
Song Taohua looked at the photo. There was no change in the photo at all. Wang Weijie still looked so kind and kind. She thought Li Ying was lying and deliberately trying to scare them, and looked at Li Ying with displeasure.
"If a child like you suddenly wants to laugh when you see the person in the photo, you will definitely be scared to death. But you are not scared at all. You are lying at first glance."
Song Taohua hates children who lie the most.
Li Ying tilted her head and looked at Song Taohua and asked, "Uncle Wang Qiang's second uncle and I don't know each other. I have never scolded him or spit at him. Why should I be afraid?"
Li Ying felt that ghosts were like people and would not hurt people for no reason. Even the female ghost in red did not do anything to her!
"If you don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door, you will be fearless if your heart is upright." Li Yun said.
Lin Qingxuan and Li Meng were originally very scared, but after listening to Li Ying's words, they felt that Li Ying's words made sense and instantly felt at ease.
They have no grievances against Wang Weijie. He just wants to harm people, including those who have problems with him.
Li Fang stood up suddenly, with some uneasiness on his face. Li Ming glanced at Li Fang and said, "What are you afraid of? Wang Weijie is your man and he will harm you." Li Ming continued to eat melon seeds.
Wang Min yawned and walked out of the room, sat next to Li Fang, and complained: "Wang Jun really woke me up so quickly and didn't let me sleep for a while."
No one paid attention to her. Li Fang gave Wang Min a helpless look and said, "Xiaojun has been doing everything these days and is exhausted. You have to understand him."
Wang Min curled his lips and said nothing more.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Li Ying was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She kept dozing off and fell asleep unconsciously.
Seeing that it was late, Li Fang took Song Taohua and the others to prepare a midnight snack. After a while, the noodles were cooked and everyone sat in the yard to eat noodles.
"Alas!" A heavy sigh sounded, but no one paid attention to it.
"Why didn't you call me for dinner?" the voice sounded again.
Wang Qiang and Wang Min were stunned when they heard the familiar voice. They looked for the sound and saw Wang Weijie standing behind them and looking at them.
"Ghost!" Someone yelled.
Wang Min watched in horror as Wang Weijie, who was already lying in the coffin, appeared in front of him. He was so frightened that he shivered all over, "Dad, you, you..." He rolled his eyes and fainted with fright.
