    I have never been clear why my father sprayed me with hot air at the end, and I have never been able to figure out what this hot air represents.  However, my father has already gone west, perhaps, this will become a mystery in my heart forever.  Of course, I also speculated.  My father already knew that he had highly contagious "liver cancer". Could it be possible that my father's last breath was to thinkimpossible, absolutely impossible!  Although we have had conflicts and even fights, I believe what my father said before he died, the palms and the backs of the hands are full of flesh.  After all, I am my father's own flesh and blood, no matter what, my father would not want me to be infected.  Otherwise, my father would not have entrusted me with full authority over his funeral affairs.  Maybe it was my filial piety that touched the heavens. Although I had been in close contact with my father for a long time, I was not infected with the life-threatening "liver cancer".

    The last breath my father exhaled was soft and warm.  It's mesmerizing to touch.  That breath was like the essence of my father's seventy years of life.  It seemed that my father wanted to give me the most precious thing in his life.  However, afterwards, I didn't feel like I had gained anything.  The strange thing is that under the caress of this hot breath, I neither lost anything nor gained anything.  It seems that everything is just an illusion.  However, I really felt its existence.  I can feel that my father did this on purpose, but I can't figure out his real purpose.

    Unlike San San (father's older brother, the third eldest), there was no so-called "return to light" at all before his father passed away.  Father just kept getting weaker and weaker until his last breath.  Possibly, not everyone has "Back to the Light"!  Of course, this is just my feeling now.  At that time, my father had just passed away, and there were many things waiting for me to arrange and deal with, so I didn't have the time and leisure to pay attention to the problem of "returning to the light".

    According to common sense, my brother and I should be responsible for my father's funeral.  However, I have made a promise in front of my father, so naturally I will not ask my brother for anything.  The whole process was almost entirely arranged and handled by me alone, and all kinds of expenses were almost borne by me alone.  As for the younger brother, he is often like a guest, just attending when he should show up.  Of course, it is probably the first time for my younger brother to experience such a grand funeral scene, so even if he is allowed to preside over it, I am afraid that he has no experience in this field, and a messy and embarrassing situation will likely appear at that time.  From this, it is not difficult to see the wisdom of his father's critical entrustment.

    The father died at his younger brother's house.  According to custom, I did not immediately touch my father's body.  After waiting for ten hours, I asked someone to cleanse and change my father's clothes (shroud).  According to my father's will, I asked someone to carry my well-groomed father to my home.  Although my home has been rebuilt into a two-story building, it is the ancestral home after all. My father, who has strong feudal thoughts, has repeatedly stated that after death, the remains must be placed in the ancestral home.

    Therefore, next, the villagers and relatives and friends came to my house to worship.  Since the father's seniority is very high, there has been an endless stream of people coming to pay respects just after setting it up.

    At that time, it was not like now, there were no ice coffins that could be refrigerated.  The father is first placed on the coffin lid.  If the wooden coffin is not finished, the deceased is usually placed on the door panel.  As for encoffining, coffin-building (sounding nails) and funeral, it is necessary to ask the yin and yang (teacher) to watch the day.  Under normal circumstances, the day chosen by Yin and Yang will be several days after the day of the deceased's death.  Therefore, under normal circumstances, the deceased has to be placed in the open air at home for a long time.  If the weather is hot, it is common for the room to be full of peculiar smells.  However, my father died in the first month, when the weather was still cold, so there was no need to worry about this.

    I knew my father was very concerned about it, so I specially invited a well-known yin and yang from another town.  It cost a lot of money to let this yin and yang carefully select a series of good days and hours, and humbly ask him about the relevant precautions during the funeral process.  On the basis of following the local customs and various ancestral rules, I tried my best to manage my father's funeral affairs as gracefully as possible.  At the same time, always pay attention to not violating any taboos as much as possible.  I believe that if Father Izumi knew, he would be extremely satisfied.

    ?After burying my father in a grand manner, and shaking off the sadness in my heart, I began to reflect on the "mantou sign".  This year's New Year's goods "steamed buns" are really strange.  There is nothing wrong with it, but the adjusted dough just doesn't rise at all.  When everyone thought it was an ominous "sign", I didn't quite believe it.  However, shortly thereafter, his father was diagnosed with "liver cancer".  Then, in less than a month, my father passed away.  In other words, the "mantou incident" is a sign that someone in the family will die in the short term, but in fact, within less than a month, my father died of illness.?.  Is this just a coincidence?  Maybe it's a coincidence, but I wouldn't believe it anyway.  Since then, I have gradually begun to believe in feudal superstitions that I didn't believe in before.

    After that, in my spare time, I began to change from reading news, stories, novels, etc. to introducing ghosts and ghosts.  I have also read a lot of related books, such as "The Duke of Zhou Interprets Dreams".  Perhaps death is a bad thing in people's minds.  However, Zhou Gong sometimes thought that dreaming of a certain family member drowning was auspicious; perhaps, "ghosts" were ominous things in people's minds, but Zhou Gong believed that dreaming of ghosts attacking was a good omen.  In the introduction about ghosts, I also saw the introduction about drowned ghosts.  So I am not ignorant of drowned ghosts.

    "Drowned ghost" represents too much emotion, and the image feature is dripping wet.  Many drowned ghosts, as we often say, neither beat you nor scold you, but torture you with emotion.  Because the drowned ghost expresses the desire and entanglement for feelings.  A person who is addicted to emotion and cannot extricate himself, then he will drown.  People who drown are often very emotional people, so they may die for love.  Such people tend to hide in the emotional world and cannot extricate themselves.

    It is precisely based on this understanding that I am not afraid of the drowned ghosts that surround me.  Because I am a person with rich emotions, so how could I be afraid of those "drowned ghosts" who are too emotional?  Besides, they neither beat me nor scolded me, so what should I be afraid of?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
