When my mom told me that my grandpa's spirit will come back and visit everyone on the 12th day after his death I was like "No way that's not going to happen." Well, most Chinese believe that the spirit of the deceased will return home during the night and we have to hide in one room and close all the doors. They said that we must prepare food and drinks for the "bull head and horse face". They are actually messengers of the King of Hell and their duties are to collect the dying person from their deathbeds.
So last night, we were supposed to stay in a room (4 of us, my dad, mom, sister and me) from 7pm till 2am. Turned off all the lights and closed all the doors. My mom said that my grandpa will come back with his "friends" at 10pm because he has to go back to his main house first. So we fell asleep at 8pm.
Then some loud door-knocking noise woke me up. It was really loud. I was so scared. I hid under my blanket and I checked what time is it. It was 10.00pm. I was like
Okay then I tried to go back to sleep. After a few minutes I heard bells. Seriously. BELLS.
I went "ohshitmotherofgodfuckfuckshittttamitabhajesuschristholyshitiamgoingtodiefuckmylifewhatshitshit"
I ran to my mom and I slept beside her, leaving my sister alone. How responsible.
The rest was history.
I woke up this morning, I saw the chairs at the dining hall were messy. I remembered that I arranged it back nicely before I went to bed. There were 4 chairs but only 3 were not in place.
Okay, I guess he really came back.
Just now, before I started to type out this post I did some "research". These reapers/hell guards/messengers of the King of Hell, they carry chains, bells and pitchforks wherever they go.
Now I'll go distract myself. Kbai.
