The next day, it was close to noon.

As before, Lian Ge moved the desk outside the hall, under the eaves, and looked at the three basic books with the gust of breeze that came from time to time.

"Whoa...... Crash. ”

The sound of turning pages sounded from time to time, flipping through the cheap song of "Mysterious Common Sense", and watching it with relish.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

"Just push the door in, the door is not bolted. ”

Lian Ge looked up at the courtyard door, raised his voice slightly and said outward.

"Crunch ......"

The old wooden door made a sound that matched its age, and a figure entered from outside the door, appearing in Lian Ge's line of sight.

"Master Lian ......"

Hearing this, Lian Ge got up and nodded at the comer,

"Mr. Hu, have you taken care of things at home?"

"The police have taken the brute away, and evidence has been found that she killed my mother. Hu Xianshou's face was very tired, and the whole person was much older than his age.

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded,

"Look away, at least the truth will be revealed, and your mother will be able to live in peace. ”

"Yes......" Hu Xianshou smiled a little bitterly and replied, but unfortunately this truth is not a good thing for him, but it is even more difficult to accept.

Looking at Hu Xianshou's appearance, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, and did not persuade again,

"Tea? Mr. Hu. Lian Ge turned around and walked towards the hall, and asked at the same time,

"No need, Master Lian. Hu Xianshou stopped Lian Ge,

"I'm here this time to send you a consultation fee to Master Lian. ”

As he spoke, Hu Xianshou took out a thick paper envelope from his pocket and handed it to Lian Ge.

Lian Ge glanced at Hu Xianshou, still poured him a glass of water and put it on the table.

At the same time, he reached out and took the envelope handed over by Hu Xianshou.

Feeling the thickness slightly, about one or two thousand yuan, Lian Ge didn't pay much attention to it, and put the thick paper envelope containing the money on the table.

“...... Master Lian, I don't know how your consulting fee is calculated, Master Lian, have you seen enough?"

"Enough. Lian Ge nodded slightly and said, "I haven't done anything, so much money is already deserved." ”

"Master Lian, don't say that, although you only stayed for a while, you also found out that brute. Hu Xianshou shook his head, and then said seriously.

Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't say any more nonsense,

"Then, Mr. Hu, did you come here this time just to send money?" asked Lian Ge casually.

Hearing this, Hu Xianshou hesitated, and then said:

"Master Lian, there is indeed one more thing. ”

After a pause, Hu Xianshou looked at Lian Ge, "Master Lian, I still hope that you can preside over my mother's funeral." ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Hu Xianshou,

"Are you sure?" Lian Ge sat down at the desk again, withdrew his gaze from Hu Xianshou, and continued,

"Remember what I told you? I'm very expensive, and that's not the price if I really want me to do things. ”

"I know, Master Lian......"

"Listen to me first," Lian Ge waved his hand and continued,

"First of all, presiding over the funeral and overtaking the soul of the dead is not something I am good at, and secondly, the murderer of your mother has been punished, and her resentment should also dissipate, that is, you can just find a gentleman.

Finally, if you still want me to officiate at your mother's funeral, my fee will be your property...... Fifth. ”

Hearing this, Hu Xianshou was silent and did not give an answer immediately.

Lian Ge was not in a hurry, picked up the book, and looked at it casually, quietly waiting for a reply.

When he said this, it wasn't that he didn't want to make money, but that he was afraid that if he didn't make it clear, he wouldn't be able to get the money in the end.

......

Finally, when Lian Ge turned another page of the book, Hu Xianshou looked at Lian Ge again,

"Alright, Master Lian, just follow your rules. Hu Xianshou nodded, and continued to add,

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Master Lian, when I say it, my family's property may add up to less than 300,000 ......"

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at Hu Xianshou again and smiled slightly,

"Mr. Hu, don't worry, your fifty or sixty thousand yuan will be worth it. ”

"Master Lian, I believe in you. ”

"There's one more thing, though. If I am asked to preside over the funeral, I may have to wait a few days, is it acceptable?" Lian Ge got up again and said,

"Yes. Actually, it was just right, and the police also said that it would take some time to conduct a detailed autopsy on my mother. Hu Xianshou nodded in response,

"That ......"

"Knock Knock ......"

Hu Xianshou's voice had not completely fallen, and outside the open courtyard door, a knock sounded.

Hearing the prestige, an old man with slightly stumbling steps walked into the courtyard of Lian Ge's house.

"Uncle Tai,"

Lian Ge greeted him and helped him down,

"Are there any guests?" Uncle Tai glanced at Hu Xianshou who was standing next to him, and said loudly,

"It's from the town next door, and they asked me to come over and help with the funeral. Lian Ge explained briefly.

"Master Lian, then I'll leave first, and I'll come back to invite you in a few days. ”

Hu Xianshou said in due course.

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, and didn't hold on anymore,

"Okay, then I won't send it. ”

......

After a while, Hu Xianshou left, and Lian Ge made a new cup of tea for Uncle Tai.

"Uncle Tai, are you here for something?"

Putting the tea on the table in front of Uncle Tai, Lian Ge asked at the same time,

"It's nothing, it's just that the weather is nice today, so I'm out for a walk. Passing by you, I thought I would stop by and ask how the preparations for ancestor worship were going, and see if you needed a hand. Uncle Tai replied.

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded first, and then said directly:

"Uncle Tai, preparations for the ancestor worship ceremony have begun, I have a general list of items here, listing some things needed for the ancestor worship ceremony, you may need to arrange someone to purchase them, Uncle Tai. ”

"Take a look at me. ”

"Uncle Tai, wait a minute. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lian Ge turned around and walked towards the bedroom, taking out the list of pages from the bedroom desk.

returned to the table and handed the list to Uncle Tai,

"Hmm...... The things you want are similar to the ancestor worship that your grandfather presided over before. Uncle Tai took the paper, took it and looked at it and said,

"Okay, I'll ask the villagers to help you buy all your things. ”

Lian Ge nodded when he heard this, and at the same time couldn't help but be a little puzzled,

"Uncle Tai, do you mean that my grandfather has also listed this list of items for you?"

"yes, it's all these things, and the numbers don't seem to be much different. Uncle Tai said, and couldn't help but sigh,

"The matter of worshipping ancestors in this village is really handed over to your Lian family, which is more reliable. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge thought about it, the list of items, including the quantity, was copied by him according to the relevant information of "Mysterious Common Sense".

It seems that the old man didn't seem to be so 'magical' during his lifetime.

"Xiao Lian, apart from these things, is there anything else you need help with, just say it. Uncle Tai, who withdrew his gaze from the list, continued to ask,

"After all, ancestor worship is a matter for the whole village, and everyone should contribute. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge retracted his thoughts, nodded and continued:

"The ancestor worship ceremony requires preliminary preparation, and it may require the help of everyone in the village. ”

"Xiao Lian, you say, I'll let them cooperate with you. ”

"First of all, the ancestor worship ceremony in our village has always been held in the midyear festival, but in fact, this is not a suitable time to hold ancestor worship, so before worshipping ancestors, you need to make some preliminary preparations......
