Sky coffin

Just now I locked the door of Yizhuang before entering.

I'm just afraid that someone will come in and cause trouble.

But now there was a knock on the door.

Xia Xi was also startled. Just when I was hesitating to open the door, a man's voice came from outside the door.

"Is there anyone in there?"

I remained unmoved and listened carefully to the sound of knocking on the door.

It's not three long and two short, which means that the person knocking on the door is not a ghost, but a living person?

Thinking of this, I came to the gate of Yizhuang and looked at the situation outside through the crack in the door.

The moonlight tonight is very bright, shining on the ground like a mirror. Through the moonlight, I can just clearly see the situation outside Yizhuang.

A man stood in front of the gate of my village.

Because of the angle of the moon in the sky, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could clearly see the shadow he cast on the ground.

He was indeed a man, but why did he come to Yizhuang at night?

This puzzles me.

The man's voice sounded again.

"Is anyone here? Can you open the door? If you don't open the door, I will be hit!"

I hesitated and opened the door.

Because the man's attitude was very determined, if he couldn't come in today, he wouldn't be able to leave.

The door opened, and this time I could clearly see the man's appearance.

The man was about thirty years old, with stubble all over his face and looked very haggard.

When he saw me, a hint of vigilance clearly flashed in his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

I glanced at the man lightly and said, "Pay homage to our ancestors."

Then I turned around and left.

The man was obviously taken aback after hearing what I said, and he followed me and walked in.

I came to Xia Jingming's coffin, took out a lighter, and lit all the candles.

The whole time I was paying attention to what the man was doing.

He first came to a coffin, then took the paper burning brazier, lit the yellow paper he brought, and threw it into the brazier.

The man is obviously also paying homage to the deceased.

But his movements and demeanor made me feel something was wrong.

Because I can't feel the slightest sadness in him.

And it also gives people a feeling of being absent-minded.

He looked towards me from time to time, and I quickly looked away.

The man didn't say anything and just kept kneeling for about half an hour. He came to me and said, "Little brother, it's so late, why don't you go home?"

I replied: "I'm not leaving tonight, I want to spend time with his old man."

I looked at Xia Jingming's coffin.

After hearing what I said, the man's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

I asked: "What about you? Why don't you leave so late?"

The man gave the same answer as me.

"I also want to spend more time with my mother."

After saying that, the man returned to the coffin and continued to kneel.

The man's reaction really concerned me.

It is actually a very common thing to come to Yizhuang to worship ancestors.

Some people's families are poor and cannot afford a coffin for burial, so they put the body in a righteous village.

Coming to Yizhuang to pay homage to your ancestors is the same as visiting a grave.

After visiting the grave, there is no point in staying at the grave all night.

The fact that a man doesn't leave has a certain impact on me, but not much.

He and I have never met each other. If something really happened, I would definitely choose to protect myself. After all, I am not a Holy Mother to care about the safety of a stranger.
