Chapter 40: The Cemetery

“...... Master Lian. ”

Hu Xianshou's voice sounded.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge paused the movement in his hand and looked up.

I saw Hu Xianshou walking into the courtyard with a group of people, among whom the leader was carrying suona, and several people behind him were also holding things.

"Uncle Xu,"

Lian Ge put down the pen in his hand and walked over,

"Hard work Uncle Xu, you have a special trip, the road is still smooth,"

"What's the hard work, it's all by car, but we're not late, right?" Uncle Xu smiled and waved his hand, and then motioned to a few people behind him to put things down,

"No, I've just arrived. ”

"That's good. ”

Uncle Xu nodded, then swept the yard and continued to ask,

"Master Lian, do you see if there is anything we can help with now?"

Hearing Uncle Xu's title, Lian Ge was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted and replied,

"I'm fine. Lian Ge shook his head, "Uncle Xu, you can come according to my grandfather's rules in the past and see if there is anything that needs to be arranged." ”

"Okay, then I'll do it. ”

Uncle Xu nodded, and after saying a word to Lian Ge, he began to beckon the people he brought to get busy.

Soon, the funeral flag brought by Uncle Xu was planted outside the courtyard, and a loud speaker was placed at the door of the hall in the courtyard.

Looking at the inside and outside of the courtyard that looked decent, a bit like a funeral scene, Lian Ge couldn't help but sigh,

"Professional things still have to be professional......"

Shaking his head with a smile, Lian Ge picked up the pen again and sketched it on the cut yellow paper,

......

Time passed slowly, from morning to noon.

Inside and outside the courtyard, the people brought by Uncle Xu were busy, either playing funeral songs, or beckoning the host's family to tear up the paper money.

And Lian Ge, under the background music of this great sorrow mantra, continues to make talismans,

After completing another talisman seal, Lian Ge looked at the aura attached to it and smiled slightly,

Just as he was about to continue drawing talismans, he suddenly heard a voice ringing in his ears,

"Master Lian, this is the Sutra of Saving People, right?"

"It's the Sutra of Salvation. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his head and saw Uncle Xu, who was looking at the page of excessive scriptures on the table, and nodded,

"Uncle Xu also understands?"

"I don't understand, I used to follow your grandfather, and I know a little bit about it. Uncle Xu raised his head and replied with a smile.

"Master Lian, are you done, the master asked me to ask you, when will the meal be served?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked up at the sun that was already in the sky, and then took out his mobile phone to look at the time.

"Everyone's hungry, aren't they? ”

Hearing this, Uncle Xu nodded, and then beckoned the people he brought to temporarily turn off the Great Compassion Mantra in the loudspeaker and start cleaning up before eating.

......

After a while, at the dinner table, Lian Ge and Uncle Xu and his party sat at a table, and Hu Xianshou, who was the host, was also sitting next to him.

The rest of the guests sat separately and did not deliberately arrange it.

But after all, it was a funeral, and not many people came to eat.

“...... I don't know what taboos you have Master Lian, so I made some dishes casually, if Master Lian you can't eat it, I'll change it for you immediately. Hu Xianshou sat beside Lian Ge and said politely.

"No, I don't have any taboos, and I don't pick my mouth. Lian Ge shook his head and said,

He is not a real god, what is the taboo.

"That's good, that's good, Master Lian, do you drink?"

"Sorry, no drinking. ”

"It's good not to drink, it's good not to drink...... Brother Xu, do you want a drink?"

"I still have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't drink it. Uncle Xu replied with a smile.

"That ......"

"Mr. Hu, don't be too polite, sit down and eat. Regarding Hu Xianshou's courteous appearance, Lian Ge was really helpless, so he could only say it out loud.

"Good...... Okay, eat, eat," Hu Xianshou also reacted, he was a little too much, sat down a little embarrassed, and began to eat with his head bored.

......

After a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually returned to normal, and Uncle Xu, who was sitting on the other side of Lian Ge, began to communicate with Lian Ge about various matters related to the funeral.

"Master Lian, do you want to ask for water in the afternoon?"

"Please,"

Lian Ge paused for his chopsticks, replied, then turned his head and looked at Hu Xianshou,

"Mr. Hu, is there a river around your house?"

"Yes, Master Lian, it's right at the entrance of the village. Hu Xianshou quickly responded,

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, and then looked at Uncle Xu,

"Uncle Xu, you can take someone over to take a look in a while, if you can, then go out at four o'clock in the afternoon to ask for water." ”

"Okay, I'll get them ready. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, and then turned back to look at Hu Xianshou,

After a slight pause, he continued:

"Mr. Hu, there is one more thing I need to tell you,"

"Master Lian, you speak. ”

"Originally, according to custom, the funeral service lasted at least three days, and the funeral did not take place until the morning after tomorrow. But now after all, it's summer, the weather is hot, and it's been so many days since your mother died, so my suggestion is to finish the Dharma tonight, cremate tomorrow morning, and bury you when you come back after cremation. ”

"Then follow what Master Lian said. ”

Hu Xianshou paused, but nodded in response,

Seeing that Hu Xianshou agreed, Lian Ge also nodded and continued:

"Then there's the cemetery, did your mother think about it when she was alive?"

"Nope. Hu Xianshou shook his head, "She went suddenly, and she didn't say anything like this before." You may also need to choose one for you, Master Lian. ”

"Then after eating, you can take me to your field to see if there is a suitable one. ”

"Okay, trouble Master Lian, you......"

......

While eating, I arranged some related things.

As soon as the meal was finished, Lian Ge and Uncle Xu set off separately, one to see the cemetery, and the other to see the route to ask for water.

......

Leaving the Hu family, Lian Ge walked along the ridge to the first field of the Hu family under the guidance of Hu Xianshou.

Glancing at the somewhat barren land in front of him, Lian Ge shook his head,

"No, it's not a good place to be a cemetery. ”

Although Lian Ge doesn't understand feng shui, he can directly look at qi when the eye of heaven is open, and there is no need to infer whether feng shui is good based on signs.

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge glanced farther around,

"Is there any land on the mountain over there?" said Lian Ge, who suddenly paused and pointed to a hill in the distance.

"No, Master Lian. Hu Xianshou shook his head, "But my second uncle's family has a piece of land there, if that place is possible, I can discuss it with him and change it." ”

"Since there isn't, forget it. Lian Ge shook his head and said, "What about over there, is there any on that mountain over there?"

Lian Ge pointed to a slightly lower hill next to him and asked again,

"There is a piece of that mountain, on the mountainside. Hu Xianshou first responded, and then hesitated a little, and stopped talking, "Master Lian, is it ......?"

"Isn't the feng shui on that mountain better just now?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his head, looked at Hu Xianshou and couldn't help but smile,

"Mr. Hu, I don't lie to you, the feng shui on the mountain before is indeed better. However, there are some things that cannot be forced. Feng Shui is not so magical, everything is still man-made. ”

"It may be better for your mother to have a peaceful and peaceful resting place. ”

Hearing this, Hu Xianshou hesitated silently, but still nodded,

"Then let's listen to Master Lian's arrangement. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded with a smile, and then walked towards the lower hill behind,

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”
