Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 55. Curse the Dead Body
"I promise to complete the task." Chu Senle's mouth was almost reaching his ears.
"Don't be happy so early, you don't know what you are going to do yet."
"No matter what it is, as long as it's Uncle San's order, I will definitely do it well." Chu Sen's enthusiasm was overflowing.
Uncle San took out an elegant brocade box from his saddlebag and handed it to him, saying, "Put the seven jade pieces inside into the corpse 's ears, nose, and mouth. Hold the two longest pieces in the corpse's hands."
"Ah, I, then I will run into him?" Chu Sen was stunned.
"In my opinion, the cleanest thing in the world is the body of a dead person . Is there any problem even if you touch it?"
"No, I just feel unlucky."
"Oh, then let Tianbao go." Uncle San was quite happy.
"No, don't change anyone. It's me. This will definitely not change." Chu Sen agreed immediately.
"There's one thing I must say first. Sealing the corpse's five orifices can't be done during the day, only at night, and without any heat lamps. Don't make any noises when you're frightened. If a living person speaks to a dead person , that's truly bad luck."
"Don't worry, I have no other advantages except courage."
Uncle San nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter alone and wait for your news." Then he turned to Lin Sannu and said, "Blocking the air vent with jade can prevent the body from decaying, but I sprinkled Corpseless Gold on the jade. Once it enters the deceased's body, it will take effect immediately. Within three days, he will be reduced to a pool of pus."
"Okay, I'll give you 100,000 yuan as a reward after the task is completed." Lin Sannu's face twitched involuntarily.
"I've already given you enough money, there's no need to give more, but I have a request that I hope you can agree to."
"As long as it's not excessive, I will definitely agree." Lin Sannu said readily.
"Of course it's not excessive, and this matter has nothing to do with me. I am making this request on behalf of your youngest son."
"Linlin? What are you asking for on his behalf? Have you two met?"
Uncle San smiled and said, "Yes, it can only be said that Dangshan is too small, and you didn't protect our whereabouts very well. Last night, after I returned to the hotel, your youngest son found me."
"What does he want from you?" Lin Sannu seemed a little nervous.
"His purpose in seeking me out was simple. He hoped I could properly handle the funeral for his father because..." Uncle San paused and said, "He said Niu Lin's life was truly too pitiful."
Upon hearing this, Lin Sannu's face suddenly changed, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead instantly. We could see it clearly.
Uncle San calmly said, "I'll ask him back, your father died and ruined the three of you to this point. Not only do you not hold a grudge against the old man, but you even speak up for him. Don't you believe that he's the cause of our family's downfall?"
"But Linlin said he believed it, but he insisted that I perform this ritual properly so that his father could be buried peacefully."
"Don't listen to him, this heartless little ungrateful guy." Lin Sannu was so angry that she looked like she was about to burst into a curse, but she finally held back.
"Sister Lin, my job is to try my best to meet my employer's needs, but who should I listen to at this point?"
"Of course, you listen to whoever pays you."
"But Linlin also promised to pay me, and it's not lower than your price."
Lin Sannu's face turned green with anger. "Well, you wicked quacks actually use this method to cheat people out of money."
Uncle San waved his hand and said, "Don't be so quick to scold me. I don't mean that the highest bidder wins."
"What do you mean?"
"Alas, Sister Lin, don't you really understand your child's feelings? You want to fight to the death with your husband, but Lin Lin doesn't want to. He has money, a good job, and a wonderful girlfriend by his side . From a realistic perspective, why should he give up all these blessings to fight to the death with his own father?"
"You...he's a child who only knows how to enjoy himself. In a few years, he'll understand my painstaking efforts."
"I'm afraid he doesn't have the patience to wait for you for a few more years. If you insist on going your own way and fighting to the end, Linlin is likely to turn against you completely. This is what he said to me yesterday." Uncle San said.
"He dares." Lin Sannu shouted.
"If you have this attitude and are unwilling to give in at all, I think he will dare to do it."
"Did you accept his favor and come here to act as a lobbyist?" Lin Sannu became more and more angry.
"Sister Lin, I'm just a hired laborer. Is it worth it for me to cause trouble? But Lin Lin is Niu Lin's son after all. I have to consider his opinion. To put it bluntly, if he is unhappy and calls on his family to stop my work, what do you think I should do?"
"You're just making excuses. You just don't want to do your job properly and are trying to cheat on me."
Just as Lin Sannu was getting more and more angry, a young voice said, "Mom, can you be reasonable?" Then a handsome and tall young man came towards us with difficulty, leaning on a pair of crutches.
Mother and son were right next to Niu Lin's coffin . Was this family reunited? I wondered to myself.
"You, you unfilial bastard." Lin Sannu pointed at her son and started scolding him.
"Mom, can you calm down? Dad is not our enemy. What conflicts are irreconcilable? After all, he is dead." Lin Lin advised.
"What do you know? All you do every day is spend money and fall in love. What logic can you come up with?"
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Please respect me."
"Respect is not given by others, but earned by oneself. Why should I respect you?"
"Because I'm your son."
"Have you ever respected me as your mother? Have you ever considered how I feel when you discuss things with others behind my back?"
"Mom, it's my dad who's lying in the coffin. Even if he made a thousand mistakes, he's already dead. Why dwell on the past? After all, you still have three sons."
"It would be fine if he didn't say that, but he wanted to recognize his three sons, so how could he harm you like this? You still think he is your father."
Lin Lin sighed and said, "Mom, I know Dad is not a good person, but I am half his blood after all, and this is a fact that cannot be changed."
"Don't teach me how to behave here. You are my son and I am your mother. Don't mess up the generations." Lin Sannu's tone was extremely angry.
I don't know why my uncle didn't try to stop the fight. I just watched them bickering. I was about to play the peacemaker when Lin Sannu suddenly did something shocking and extreme. She trotted over to Niu Lin's coffin, kicked it hard a few times, and then pointed at it and cursed, "You stinky, shameless man! You're still not at peace even after your death. You're trying to sow discord between me and my children. I shouldn't have married a hunchback like you."
As she spoke, she kicked the coffin hard with her feet. The place where the wooden coffin was placed was not flat, but a raised mound of earth. Without any external force, it was naturally stable. However, after being kicked hard by Lin Sannu several times, the coffin shook more and more violently, and then fell into the tomb.
The vertical depth of Niu Lin's tomb is at least three or four meters deep. Although the coffin did not break when it fell into the soil, Niu Lin's body slipped out of the coffin after the lid was broken. The body happened to be facing us with its face facing up. The expression was clearly visible. The most noticeable thing was Niu Lin's big round eyes. When I looked at him, I even felt that he was a living person.
Niu Lin was wearing a blue funeral shroud and a longevity hat. His back was very hunched, and he looked like he was sitting rather than lying down.
Lin Sannu still wasn't satisfied after doing all this. She actually spat at Niu Lin's corpse in the grave, pointing at him and cursing, "You stinking shameless bastard, if you have the guts, take it out on me. You're harming your own flesh and blood. Only a bastard like you can do that. Today, I'm telling you in front of everyone. From now on, if you dare to bother the children again, I will take a knife and stab that stinky woman and your two evil offspring. If you don't believe me, keep doing it. See if I dare to kill them."
After saying this, Lin Sannu felt as if her spine had been whipped, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Uncle San immediately gestured to us and said, "Let's carry the person into the mourning shed to rest first. The evil spirits are too strong here, and it's not advisable to stay here for long."
