(Thanks to book friend 20230203223106051 for the monthly ticket~)
Li Sanniang got up really early on the last day at home. Just after the fifth watch, she Li Sanniang held the Luzhu'er cricket pupa under the quilt for a while before getting up as she played the last bang.
According to the agreement last night, Sister-in-law Li was left at home to take care of the children, and the rest of the Li family followed Brother Li to Xuandu Temple.
Brother Li is a man who can put his figure down. When he went to knock on the door outside the house where the Guo family brothers lived and called for help, he could not tell that he was in the main hall of the Li family yesterday and was yelling at the Guo family. The brothers looked angry and angry as they argued.
To be honest, Li Sanniang is not as good as Brother Li in this aspect.
Of course Li Sanniang can call someone, but it is impossible for her to be like Brother Li with no anger on her face and no sullen face at all.
Brother Li made the arrangements very well. In addition to the carriage that was originally used for Li Sanniang to go on duty, he also called two more carriages outside.
From Li’s father and mother, to Brother Li’s family of four, including the second brother Li and Li Sanniang, as well as Qiuxiang and Lao Shi who followed Li Sanniang, and the Guo brothers, a group of ten people sat in three cars The carriage went to Fangmen without even having breakfast.
There are many people in Xuandu Temple at any time, so in order to catch up with the agreed time, the Li family went out early.
Mother Li and Sister-in-law Li, who were riding in the same carriage as Li Sanniang, didn't look very good-looking. As soon as Li Sanniang saw the black and blue under their eyes, she knew that they must not have slept well last night.
“Here, grandma and sister-in-law, please have one.”
Mother Li looked at the candy bar in front of her and looked at Li Sanniang. Although she was not very hungry, But he still reached out and twisted a piece of candy out.
When Mrs. Li saw this, she took a candy and ate it. Li Sanniang then put her candy bag in front of Qiuxiang. Qiuxiang had been following Li Sanniang for a long time and had long been close to Li Sanniang.
Qiuxiang didn't hesitate, she took two pills herself, lifted one pill directly from the car curtain and gave it to Lao Shi who was sitting on the shaft of the car, and put one pill directly into her mouth.
Li Sanniang also had one in her mouth. She felt the sweetness in her mouth and felt much better when she got up early.
"Why are you thinking about it?
The decision made by the eldest brother will not be changed easily.
Besides, since the eldest brother does this, there must be a reason for the eldest brother , since the eldest brother has done this, he must think it is the most appropriate way.
Auntie doesn’t need to worry. The eldest brother has passed his thirties and his head has grown up. They can do it. ”
"Oh, I know, I know.
I just feel something is wrong in my heart."
Sister-in-law Li understood Mother Li's mood, she reached out and held Mother Li's hand, everything was fine. In silence.
Mother Li was very satisfied with Sister-in-law Li. She held Sister-in-law Li's hand with her backhand and said, "Look at me, I am very worried as a mother-in-law, let alone a woman like you. It’s my mother’s fault.
Mei Niang, listen to Sanniang, let’s stop thinking about it. The matter has already reached this point. It’s useless to think about it any more.”
Along the way, Li Sanniang and the dozen of them all had different moods. The carriage took a long time and finally arrived in front of the Xuandu Temple Gate more than an hour later.
Actually, it was a coincidence that he could immediately make an appointment with the Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple.
Because the letter from the Li family that Li Dalang sent back mentioned that he met Sun Hongniang and the Guo family in the border town, at that time, Brother Li mentioned that he would go to the Taoist temple to give birth to his wife. Sun Datou lit a death lamp.
As for why there were no lights in the past?
The first reason is naturally because the Li family was not financially well-off in the past. After all, it is not a small expense to support four children studying in the academy.
In addition, among the Li family, except for Li's mother, Li's father, Li's eldest brother, Li's second brother, and even Li Sanniang don't really believe in these things. Li's father has never lighted a lamp for his parents, so how can he think of it? Can you light a lamp for Sun Datou?
After Brother Li told the second brother Li about this matter, the second brother Li said directly: "I must light the lantern for death, but if I even light the lantern for death, it is better to do it for Uncle Sun's family. The last ceremony was completed. In this way, we can tell the uncle of the Sun family that his children have found each other. From now on, the eldest brother will have another family in this world."
Listen. After accepting Brother Li's suggestion, Brother Li asked Sister Li for money and asked Brother Li to help him go to Xuandu to watch the ceremony and contact the Taoist priest.
In this way, through a series of coincidences, Brother Li and the others were now standing on the street where Xuandu Temple was located.
Everyone entered the temple together, took the three sticks of incense handed over by the little Taoist boy one by one, lit the incense on the incense burner placed in the wide yard in front of the main hall, and went forward to worship one by one in order.
Because he had made an agreement with the Taoist priest in charge of the Taoist temple in advance, Brother Li stepped forward to say a few words to the little Taoist boy. After a while, a young Taoist priest came over.
The crowd followed the young Taoist priest and turned two corners in the Taoist temple before being led into a main hall.
"The believers sit down for a moment, the time has not yet arrived.
Two quarters of an hour later, Taoist Master Xuancheng will lead people to open an altar for the believers to perform rituals."
After the young Taoist priest left, Li Sanniang specifically asked Brother Li about the details of this practice.
“This is to summon the souls of the dead. The Taoist priest opened an altar to summon the soul of the uncle of the Sun family to the eldest brother. After the eldest brother came forward to inform him, the Taoist priest recited sutras and prayed for the uncle of the Sun family to pass away.”
Li Sanniang nodded. In this pure Taoist temple, she was too embarrassed to ask: "It has been thirty years. If there really is an underworld or something, then the uncle of the Sun family should have drank Meng Po soup long ago. Go and be reincarnated.
Where can I be called in to listen to these things? "
So, this person who has undergone nine years of compulsory education is truly materialistic. Or, even though Li Sanniang has experienced time travel, she is still a complete materialist.
However, most of the things that the living do for the deceased are because the living want to have peace of mind themselves, and even more so to show others.
Just like Brother Li's current situation, such a ritual is indeed needed to prove to the Guo brothers or to shut the mouths of Sun Hongniang and Guo Tuanlian, who are behind the Guo brothers.
Li Sanniang actually wanted to ask how much money was spent on such a ritual?
But she really didn't have the nerve to ask, she was just curious, but she knew that this was not the time to ask this question.
Not long after everyone in the Li family sat down, two little Taoist boys came with teapots and cups to serve everyone tea.
Li Sanniang took the tea bowl and drank sip after sip. She looked at the stinky faces of the two Guo brothers sitting opposite, and only two words came out of her heart: "You deserve it."
As expected, just as the young Taoist priest said, in about two quarters of an hour, the young Taoist priest came to invite everyone in the Li family to go to the small square in front of the side hall.
When we arrived at the place, it was really a solemn atmosphere.
Taoist Master Xuancheng, who was wearing a green Taoist robe and a beard, stood in front of the long table set up in the courtyard. Brother Li followed the instructions of the young Taoist priest and took the wood from Li Dalang's hand that he had carefully carried all the way. box, and took out Sun Datou's spiritual tablet.
After Brother Li respectfully placed Sun Datou’s spiritual tablet in the middle of the long table, he saw Taoist Master Xuancheng holding a fly whisk standing in front of the tablet and reciting sutras.

Maybe it’s because my head is too big, and it doesn’t feel as loose as the model’s smaller head.
