Shi You (Corpse Oil)
Chapter 12:Shi You (Corpse Oil)
On the mountain road to the orchard, I would pass through several tombs, and when I was a child, I often went to the orchard of his family with my uncle and aunt, and never felt afraid.
But there are too many things to encounter these days, and when I pass the graveyard, I always feel that something is staring at me coldly.
Uncle Sam was originally a man who did not talk much, at this time, when he saw me step back, he turned back and called me a word.
"Tomorrow, hurry up, it's too hot, and it's signed in a while."
I said, “Uh-huh,” a cold war, and hurried to follow.
Turn over a small mountain to reach the orchard of the uncle's house, which is the fruit season, and the peach pears in the mountains are eye-catching.
Uncle Sam kindly introduced me to which kind of fruit is the sweetest, and then he was busy.
I picked a pear while gnawing, while comfortable walking around among the fruit trees, these years outside school, and then busy work, has rarely returned home, even if you return, it is difficult to get the three uncles in the orchard.
Turning around, I suddenly a little anxious, turned back to the orchard hut on the top of the hill, which was used by uncles and aunts to guard the orchard, and next to it in addition to the toilet, there was a chicken-house rabbit ring.
The toilet is only used for a while, and the place is simple, so when I push the door to enter, I just feel that the wind gusts in this small toilet, like a small ice library.
So some people say that no matter where you go, the most yin place is the toilet, if it is a lattice room, then the last one should not go on.
I scalped on the toilet out, the whole person did not have the joy of the previous time, a sense of powerlessness instantly on top.
Looking around, I don't know where Uncle Sam is going, the weather is too hot, the bright sun shines people's eyes.
I had to turn into his cabin and try to rest and go to him.
Who knows as soon as he entered the house and saw that he was on the wall of the door in the grass-house, which was even for a shrine, and there was a little mud man in red and green inside, and on the ground in front of the shrine, a large pile of incense and ashes was accumulated.
The uncle was silent, and did not expect to believe in the gods so devoutly.
In any case, no matter what god he is, although I have never seen it, I have come to the family's land and worship.
“What are you doing next month?”
Behind him suddenly sounded the uncle's hard cold drink, which frightened me, turned around and looked at Uncle Sam's somewhat iron-green face, and I had a timid explanation.
"I...I didn't do anything, I just saw this shrine, and I worshipped him."
Uncle Sam seemed to find himself in a state of misbehose, so he softened his face and walked up to him and said, "What is good to worship, this is just my fear of keeping the mountain at night, and I have the peace of mind left for myself."
I was a little curious: "Uncle, so, is this the mountain god?"
The uncle shook his head: "I don't know, the mud man is a chief of the road."
The uncle took a small bottle from the space of the shrine side, picked a little sticky milky white thing into it with a bamboo stick, and placed it in a small oil dish, and then lit it with a lighter, which closed his eyes and silently read a few words.
In a blink of an eye, the milky thing melted, and there was a smell of odor in the air.
This smell made my heart feel, yes, it was the odor of the burning corpse.
I am a nurse, in the medical school when I came into contact with these things, and then came to the hospital is more practical operation, how can not understand it.
Uncle Sam looked back at me at this time, perhaps my shock made his face pale, and he asked me in some confusion: "Tomorrow, what's the matter?"
I said, "Nothing, uncle, what you're burning, it's too heavy, I'm a little sick."
Uncle Sam smiled: "Nothing, just ordinary lard, for God must have supplies, where I have time to make supplies to him every day, so I can only use a little lard instead."
I have never heard of using lard instead of offerings, and I will not believe Uncle Sam, but it is very uncomfortable to see him in this way of calmness.
If this is body oil, where did he get it from?
I deliberately pretended to be uncomfortable and offered to go home first.
My uncle didn’t leave me, picking up a few fruits and saying let me take it back.
When I took the fruit back, I walked for a while, and I couldn't help but look back, and Uncle Sam stood on the mountain and waved to me.
I laughed and raised my hand and waved it.
I thought that the usual uncle was not so long-term, he was very silent and very solid a pile of people, will not do chasing the mountain to send me such a thing.
Suddenly I felt that something was wrong, because the sun was too shaved, then I found that Uncle Sam's left shoulder, as if there was more a head, there was a black lump.
But then look closely and there is no, the distance is far apart, I think I must look at the eye, I can helplessly shake the head, turn around and continue to rush home.
