C7 Five-Colored Rice (1)

Right at the moment he opened the coffin, the Spirit Flag in the southeast corner suddenly "Boom!", it began to burn.

Granny Cat's expression changed as she hurriedly ran to the side of the coffin to look inside, then she became completely dumbstruck.

Seeing this, I also looked into the coffin, but there was nothing frightening about it. The coffin was empty, not even a corpse, only a set of neatly folded bridal uniforms.

After staring blankly for a while, I looked towards Liu Yuan, hoping that Liu Yuan would give me a reasonable explanation. However, his face was filled with surprise, as he had no idea what had happened.

"You don't know about the burial, and you don't know about the loss of the corpse, right?" I coldly looked at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan shook his head, trembling. Seeing him like this, I wanted to go over and slap him hard.

At this time, the Spirit Banner in the southeast corner had already been completely burnt. Suddenly, dark clouds rose up, and the faint moonlight hid in the clouds, bringing up a chilly wind.

The situation was getting stranger and stranger, and I was getting more and more panicked. Looking at the cold wind blowing in all directions, Liu Yuan was even more at a loss, and anxiously asked the Granny Cat what he should do.

Granny Cat shook her head and said, "Since the Destiny Banner has been burned, there is no other way. We can only leave it to fate."

"Nope, cat girl. You are so capable, you must have another way!" Liu Yuan said.

Granny Cat pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "Let's go down the mountain first, we'll talk about it later tonight."

Granny Cat didn't say that there is a way to resolve it, but we didn't dare to disobey her orders either. Following her instructions, the coffins were all set ablaze, and as for the set of bright red clothes, Granny Cat kept it into a cloth bag.

After dealing with the matter of the coffin, the group of us hastily went down the mountain.

The more I thought about it on the way, the more confused I felt. It was only then that Liu Yuan knew nothing about the grave he had buried.

Returning to the village, I realized that the situation wasn't as bad as Granny Cat had said. Everything was normal, and nothing strange happened.

It's already the middle of the night, and after going through so much torture, everyone has long been exhausted. I paid the wages of the few bachelors before returning home with Granny Cat.

After returning home, Granny Cat entered the kitchen. Since we didn't eat dinner, I thought that Granny Cat had gone to cook. After a while, Granny Cat came out with a bowl of rainbow colored rice.

We in the west of Guixi know about this Five-Colored Rice. The five colors refer to black, red, purple, yellow and white. The five colored rice was glutinous rice. It was made from the leaves of a maple, Huang Qiang, and different shapes of Red Orchid Grass.

This kind of rice was eaten by every household on March 3rd and Qingming, saying that it could ward off evil spirits. But I had always made it a custom, and I had never taken it seriously, and I learned later that there was a great secret behind the five colors.

Seeing how serious the Granny Cat was, I didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately followed her instructions to eat the Five-Colored Rice.

After he finished eating, Granny Cat took out a few more willow branches and dipped the ends of the willow branches in rainbow colored rice. Following that, he used the cinnabar ink to run a circle around the threshold.

Then, Granny Cat passed me a purple Glyph bag. The Glyph bag was neatly folded into a triangular shape and bulged out, obviously containing something inside.

I curiously asked Granny Cat what it is. Granny Cat said that this is the BBS and that it also contains the Five-coloured Rice. Put it under your pillow at night and don't you dare touch it.

Initially, I was already quite frightened by Granny Cat's words on the mountain, but now that she's made preparations, I can't help but be worried and be afraid, and I asked her if there's still a chance for things to turn for the better.

Granny Cat said sincerely, "Ding Wazi, don't worry. As long as my Granny Cat is here, I will guarantee your safety."

I nodded. "What about our village? Will we still be able to protect our village?"

The Granny Cat sighed and continued, "I can't say for sure! "Ding Wazi, I'm going out tonight. Stay at home, and don't pay attention to any sounds you hear. If I don't come back by tomorrow night, you'll leave the village and head north. Remember not to head south, understand?"

I have always trusted in Granny Cat's words and respected her very much. This time, at this critical juncture, when Granny Cat left, I felt very strange.
