My cousin burned a few pieces of paper and then walked over to Uncle's coffin, about to pour the ashes inside.
Suddenly, the coffin lid cracked with a loud "crack."
"Damn it!"
My cousin jumped in shock.
His face turned pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
Aunt, seeing this, hurried over and reached into the coffin.
"Damn you, you old bastard! Even in death, you still want to torment us?"
"You really know how to stir things up; even dead, you won't let us be!"
As Aunt cursed, she pulled out a bell from her pocket and threw it forcefully into the coffin.
"Get out of here!"
Aunt dragged my cousin a few steps back.
"You little brat, stay away from him! Be careful he doesn't drag you down with him!"
After saying that, she stepped back a few more paces.
She finally stopped when she felt it was a safe distance.
Sitting down heavily on the ground, she gasped for breath.
Aunt usually didn't treat Uncle well; she often scolded and hit him. But when it came to critical moments like this, she still protected him.
My cousin was indeed frightened by what had just happened.
His face remained pale for a long time before he regained his composure.
Little Aunt, Mother, and Han Wa all stayed silent; they all knew that this matter couldn't be resolved without the guidance of the Three Grandmothers.
Aunt was usually bold and fearless, but this time she was also quite shaken.
She sat on the floor of the main room, waiting for dawn to break.
My mother and my aunt were the same; they huddled closely together, fearing that something unexpected would happen before dawn.
My aunt trembled with fear, shaking like a leaf.
"Sister-in-law, do you think we will die?"
"Don't say such things! We won't die!"
"But Second Sister-in-law said..."
"Don't listen to her nonsense; she's scared out of her wits!"
"But..."
"There’s no 'but'! We will not die!"
My aunt wanted to say more, but my mother silenced her.
"Enough! You all stop talking and just stay put."
So, our family waited in the main room for dawn to arrive.
We were waiting for Three Grandmothers to come.
As soon as I finished speaking, a dusty Old Man walked in.
My aunt asked warily, "Who are you?"
The Old Man didn’t answer her but walked straight to Second Uncle's coffin and said, "What a pity to arrive a step too late!"
"Do you think that once the dead are in the coffin, they can be buried?"
"Big Mistake!"
"The deceased must open their eyes underwater Upright Corpse; you must first appease their grievances. Only after the body closes its eyes can it be retrieved and buried."
"You took the bell earlier; it must have been given to you by that Mother, right?"
"That bell is called Resentful Bell, arranged in five points. Once the formation is complete, calamity will emerge. If you stay near this coffin any longer, disaster will surely strike."
Upon hearing the Old Man's words, the bell that Aunt was holding fell with a clang to the ground, landing right next to the coffin.
Aunt hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to pick it up, but upon hearing Old Man's words, she let out a sigh of relief.
"So it’s the Resentful Bell!"
"The Three Grandmothers tricked us!"
"Master, please think of a way for us."
The younger aunt looked somewhat skeptical. "Who are you? You’re not here to deceive us because you heard about our family's troubles, are you?"
"The Three Grandmothers are the living dead of our village; they are far more powerful than you. What can you do?"
Old Man stroked his beard and smiled slightly. "I am a master invited by Wang Zhiming."
"Wang Laowu?" Aunt exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes!" Old Man replied.
Aunt pondered for a moment. "I remember now; a few days ago, Old Wang said he would invite a master to subdue our Resentful Spirit."
"I see."
Suddenly, I recalled that when my cousin was burning paper earlier, the coffin lid had cracked open unexpectedly.
But as a child, I didn’t understand any of this.
