Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

"Alas, forgive others when you can. When will the cycle of revenge end? If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place." Grandma also sighed.

Indeed, the cause of this incident is something that no one wants to see, but it has already happened and no one can undo it.

However, Old Man Zhao did not choose to forgive, but took a not-so-glorious path, which was equivalent to digging his own grave, causing both the Zhao and Li families to be broken up.

My grandmother and I stayed with the Zhao family all night. The next day, according to the time calculated by my grandmother, with the help of the villagers, we hired a tractor and towed the two coffins to the county crematorium.

The roar of the tractor could not cover up the sadness at the moment. Everyone's face was very solemn. Everyone watched silently until the tractor disappeared from their sight.

Zhao Hui and other men followed us to the crematorium. We all stayed up all night and looked exhausted.

We all found a place to rest. My original intention was to take grandma home first, but she insisted on finishing the Zhao family's affairs before leaving.

Under the leadership of the village party secretary, we came to the cemetery in Tuanjie Village and helped the two elders of the Zhao family choose a burial place. The village party secretary then gathered a group of young and strong male villagers to start digging a well. Digging a well here means digging a grave.

It has to be said that the customs of the people at that time were simple and honest, the villagers were full of sincerity and kindness towards each other, and their lives were simple and happy.

Helping each other became a habit among neighbors. When one family was in trouble, hundreds of families would come to the rescue. Everyone braved the scorching sun to help the Zhao family deal with the aftermath.

Zhao Hui's sister took us back home. We were so sleepy that she found a room where no incident had happened and let the three of us rest.

We were so sleepy that my grandmother, Aunt Huang and I fell asleep with our clothes on. The hot weather couldn't stop us from feeling sleepy.

After about two hours, I heard the sound of a tractor and knew that the two old people had been cremated and returned. They followed my grandmother's instructions and rushed back before the burial time she had calculated.

With everyone's help, the two coffins were carried down again, and I saw Zhao Hui holding two cloth bags in his hands, which were undoubtedly the ashes of the two elders of the Zhao family.

Although this generation has implemented cremation at the request of the government, in line with the principle of resting in peace, it is still customary to place the ashes in coffins and bury them.

The difference is that some villagers will choose to buy an urn and bury the urn containing the ashes in the coffin together.

The Zhao family chose another method, which was to have the invited monks chant sutras while scattering the deceased's ashes at the bottom of the coffin into a human shape, and then close the coffin and nail it shut.

These two burial methods continued for many years.

After all this was done, the coffin bearers organized by the villagers carried the coffin to the cemetery where the pit had just been dug.

There were white sails floating in the air and cries everywhere along the way. Everyone supported each other and sent the two elders of the Zhao family off for the last time.

I don’t know what the two elders of the Zhao family who are staying in the soul-purifying bottle are thinking at this moment.

By the time everything was done, it was already past 6 p.m., and with the help of the villagers, everyone had dinner at Zhao's house before leaving.

During this time, my grandmother, Aunt Huang and I discussed it and decided that the Zhao and Li families should reconcile with each other or at least stop fighting, which had been making both families uneasy.

Now both families have either died or passed away. If this continues, neither will have a good life.

I heard that Li Jinzhu has a younger brother who is working outside, so it can't be said that the family line is extinct.

The Zhao family has lost two children and two old people, but fortunately the two young people are still around. If they take a good rest, they should be able to have children again.

For rural people, having no descendants is a taboo in life. The continuation of the family and the inheritance of bloodline all depend on future generations.

Having no descendants means the family line will be cut off and the incense will be extinguished. It is disrespectful to the ancestors and irresponsible to the future.

After liberation, this kind of thinking gradually faded, but the cultural tradition of Chinese civilization that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be eliminated so quickly.

Fortunately, the two families have continued to maintain their relationship in this generation, otherwise the hatred would be deep and last forever.

We first explained the whole story to Zhao Hui's sister, and then she called his brother Zhao Hui.

After a while of ideological work, we took him to the utility room.

He said that the utility room was originally used to store miscellaneous items. After his son Zhao Hao left, a few months later, Old Man Zhao cleaned it up and moved in himself.

Normally they are not allowed to enter, and Old Man Zhao always locks the door no matter where he goes.

They thought that the old man might be too sad because he lost his eldest grandson, so they ignored him and had no idea that he would cast a spell on Li Jinzhu.

After some further discussion, we decided to have Grandma and Aunt Huang act as lobbyists and invite the two elders from the Li family to come.

Grandma and Aunt Huang went to knock on the door of Mr. Li’s house. The old man who opened the door already had a head full of silver hair.

After learning the purpose of their visit, the two elders of the Li family welcomed grandma and Aunt Huang into the house.

After listening to Grandma and Aunt Huang’s stories, the two elderly people also burst into tears.

"This is fate. If our Jin Zhu hadn't accidentally killed the Zhao family's grandson, things wouldn't have developed to this point."

Old man Li wiped his tears and murmured.

"Then, old man, let's go and pay our respects to the Zhao brothers and their wives. After all, it was our Jinzhu who made the mistake first." The old woman of the Li family said while wiping her tears.

This was beyond our expectations. We didn't expect that the two elders of the Li family were such reasonable people.

During this time, I also released the ghosts of Li Jinzhu and the two elders of the Zhao family, and they witnessed everything with us.

The two old people followed grandma and Aunt Huang to the Zhao family. They knelt in front of the mourning hall of the two elders of the Zhao family. The dead are the greatest, so they kowtowed and burned incense.

By this time, Huang Yuzhen had already woken up. After learning the whole story from us, she came to terms with it and accepted the reality.

Our group of people came to the utility room, and in front of everyone's witness, Zhao Hui picked up the rag doll kneeling in front of Zhao Hao's spirit tablet and pulled out the steel needle stuck in his head.

They also took Zhao Hui's spirit tablet, walked to the backyard, and burned it in front of us.

Seeing everything burnt, both the living and the three people who had become ghosts had complicated expressions on their faces, but they were all relieved.

Through my communication, people and ghosts also communicated with each other, and they all admitted their mistakes.

The two elders of the Zhao family, in particular, were filled with regret, but the matter was done and they could only accept the reality. They asked Zhao Hui and Huang Yuzhen to take good care of their health and help them have a child, thus fulfilling their wish.

He also expressed his apologies to the two elders of the Li family, asking them to take care of their health and let his second son get married as soon as possible so as to add more children to his family.

Li Jinzhu no longer had the hostility he had when they first met. He knelt down in front of the two elders, expressed deep remorse, and expressed deep apologies to Zhao Hui and his wife.

I hope they can help find Liu Juan, and if there is a suitable one, let her remarry and live a good life in the second half of her life.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Hui nodded in agreement with tears in their eyes.
