Chapter 5 The children's coffin is as heavy as a mountain, and the old coffin floats on its shoulders
Wang's coffin shop!
The door was closed, and at this moment only Su Wang and Wang Huizhong, as well as Lin Hai's brothers and sisters and their juniors, were left inside.
Su Chen looked at Lin Hai and the others with a wary expression, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, don't be so nervous, I didn't inquire about your family's situation, the reason why I knew this news is my guess." ”
"Guess, how did you guess?" Lin Hai looked suspicious and distrustful.
"Young man, who are you fooling, tell me, do you know the situation of our family, so you want to blackmail us. ”
Lin Hai's sister on the side also spoke, while the young people glared at Su Chen angrily, looking like if Su Chen answered incorrectly, they would rush up and beat him.
Seeing this situation, Su Chen touched his nose and felt that he couldn't continue to sell Guanzi, after all, his current body couldn't afford to be beaten, he was originally a ALS patient, if he was beaten, maybe he would go directly to the underworld to see the old man and them.
"I'll know this, not for nothing, but with a basis, if I'm right, the coffin was carried halfway up the mountain, when it was about to reach the graveyard, and it wasn't a piece of wood that broke, it should have broken in half directly from the middle of the bottom. ”
Su Chen's words made the brothers and sisters of De Linhai look at each other, although the situation at that time was a little chaotic, and no one knew the specifics, but according to the memories of the generals who carried the coffin later, it seemed to be such a situation.
"In addition, do the generals who carry the coffin find it difficult to carry the coffin, at least heavier than the coffin they have carried before? ”
"Good...... It seems so. ”
Lin Hai recalled the chatting words of the generals who were responsible for carrying the coffin, and several of them who often gave the generals who carried the coffin did say such things, saying that the old man's coffin was a little heavy to carry.
"It's a pity that none of these generals who carry the coffin really know how to do it, otherwise I would advise you not to bury it so soon. ”
Su Chen sighed, saw everyone's puzzled expressions, and explained: "If it is a knowledgeable coffin-carrying general, you will know a jargon: the children's coffin is as heavy as a mountain, and the old coffin floats on the shoulders. ”
In China, the profession of eating the dead man's dinner has been passed down from generation to generation, and every line has its own rules, and those who know how to break some taboos will know that some taboos cannot be violated, and they also know how to crack them, while those who don't know how to do it are purely to make some money and eat and drink.
Why is the person who carries the coffin called a general, the reason is very simple, not everyone can be the coffin bearer, in the past, the coffin bearer had to go through strict selection, first of all, the life must be hard, the life can be suppressed, this coffin is the place where the dead live, but in ancient times, there were many lonely souls and wild ghosts in the mountains, and these lonely souls and wild ghosts saw the coffin and the cemetery, and naturally wanted to occupy it for themselves, and at this time they needed a hard coffin bearer to deter.
Therefore, this general does not refer to the general of the yang world, but refers to the hard-hitting person who has the power to deter ghosts.
"What do you want to say?" a young man from the Lin family couldn't help but ask.
I've heard my dad say this when he was talking to a friend, but I don't know what it means. ”
Wang Huizhong, who was standing on Su Chen's side, spoke at this time, because what Su Chen said, he had heard his father talk to a coffin bearer.
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, that is, when carrying the coffin, if it is a child's coffin, it will be very heavy to lift, but the coffin of the elderly is much lighter. ”
Su Chen looked at everyone, and explained without waiting for everyone to ask: "There is a reason for this sentence, the first reason is because the child is small, and parents are worried that the child will be lonely and bullied after the burial, so they will put some toys from the child's life into the coffin, and they can't wait to stuff the coffin full, and the old man has lived long enough, and there is nothing to accompany the funeral, so the children's coffin is heavy, the old coffin is light, and the weight of lifting is different." ”
"But that's just one reason, there's a second reason......"
When it came to the second reason, the corners of Su Chen's mouth rose slightly, and a mysterious color appeared on his face: "I think everyone should have pulled someone to walk, if a person is willing to walk with us, then it will be easy to pull up, but if that person is unwilling to go with us, it will be very tiring to pull up, because the other party is pulling each other with us." ”
"What does this children's coffin have to do with the old coffin?" asked the young man of the Lin family, puzzled.
"Of course it does, because the kid is the one who doesn't want to go with us. Su Chen smiled slightly, and then continued: "Not long after the children came to the world, they didn't want to leave like this, they were unwilling to be buried like this and then go to the underworld, and they wanted to stay in the yang world, so it was naturally laborious to lift them up. ”
Su Chen's words made the audience silent, the faces of the Lin Hai brothers and sisters changed, Wang Huizhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, but the young people of the Lin family were disdainful, what age is this, and someone still said such superstitious words.
"You're just ......"
"Xiao Ke, shut up!"
Lin Hai interrupted the junior's words, looked at Su Chen, his attitude was much better than before, and asked, "Little brother, I don't know what you do?"
"I'm a student, but the old man in my family is a village gentleman. Su Chen replied.
Hearing Su Chen's answer, Lin Hai had such an expression on his face, and he felt that the young man in front of him must have understood something, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.
"Little brother, even if what you said is true, but my father is eighty-three this year, and he walked very peacefully, it can be regarded as a happy funeral, shouldn't it be lighter?"
"Normally, but the key problem is your big brother. ”
"What's the matter with my boss?" asked Lin Hai's sister this time.
"Your eldest brother is a public official, and now the above requires cremation, you carry the old man up the mountain to be buried, once your eldest brother's competitors know and report to the above, it is estimated that your eldest brother will be punished even if he is not dismissed, this is the reason why the old man is reluctant to leave. ”
Su Chen's words made the Lin family look at each other, and when several young people of the Lin family were about to mock Su Chen for making nonsense here, Lin Hai's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"It's the boss's call, I'll answer the phone first. ”
Glancing at the caller number, Lin Hai took the mobile phone and walked to the side to pick up the phone, and two minutes later, Lin Hai, who hung up the phone and came back, had a somewhat complicated expression, especially when he looked at Su Chen, his gaze was even more awe-inspiring.
"Second brother, what did the eldest brother say on the phone?" Lin Hai's sister asked on the side.
"The eldest brother said that someone in his unit reported that he did not take our father to the cremation, and now the investigation team is ready to investigate. ”
Lin Hai's answer made these younger sisters of his look at each other, and then these people, like Lin Hai, looked at Su Chen with a certain awe in their eyes, and they were really said by the young man in front of them.
"Su ...... Brother Su, the place where the eldest of my family works is in the next city, how could my father know?" Lin Hai asked Su Wang.
Su Chen smiled and explained, "The moment we live will return to the light before we die, everyone has seen this situation." ”
Lin Hai and several of his sisters nodded, they had indeed seen this situation, while several young people were at a loss, because they had only heard of it, and they had not seen it in person.
"At the moment of death, people are in a very peculiar state, and returning to the light is just one of them, and there are some things that can see or foresee the future, I believe that you should have heard a lot about this kind of story, and your father may have just seen a scene in the future, so he will use this way to warn. ”
Hearing Su Chen's explanation, Lin Hai's brothers and sisters fell into thought, and Wang Huizhong, who had been listening on the side, interjected at this time: " In this case, I heard my father say that there was an old man in our village who was over 80 years old, and at the moment before leaving, he suddenly returned to the light and took the hands of his children, and asked them to move all the vegetables and food stored in the cave to their homes, and at first the old man's children did not understand, until a few days later, a heavy rain caused a flash flood, which washed away the caves dug by the villagers, and everyone understood the meaning of what the old man said before leaving. ”
At that time, many villagers would store some of the grain in the field, such as sweet potatoes and yams, in the cave, because the cave was dry and cool, which was more suitable for preservation, and at the same time, it was easy to get seeds to be replanted in the next year.
"It's really fake, is it so suspenseful, even if my grandfather saw the future before leaving, but how did my grandfather let the coffin break, could it be that my grandfather's soul is still there, even if my grandfather's soul is still there, you can use other methods, such as the dream that everyone often says. ”
A young man from the Lin family opened his mouth to question, as the successor of the new century, he was an absolute atheist, in his opinion, all this was just a coincidence, and his words also made the faces of the Lin Hai brothers and sisters also show suspicion.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen knew that he had to explain the details, and immediately replied: "The reason is very simple, because your grandfather can't give people dreams yet." ”
"Brother Su, can you make it clearer, why can't you support your dreams?" Lin Hai asked.
"People have three souls and seven spirits, after normal people die, the three souls will go to the underworld, and the seven spirits will still stay in the yang world, and slowly dissipate with the passage of time, but the speed of the dissipation of the spirit depends on whether there is an obsession in the heart, if the obsession is too deep, the longer the spirit will stay in the yang world,"
"Your father's obsession is that he can't affect your eldest brother, so even if his three souls are gone, he still has this obsession, but he is unconscious, he just retains the obsession of the living before death, and the power of the spirit is extremely limited, he can't affect anyone except the corpse of the living, so he can only stop you in this way. ”
"I've told you what to say and what to explain, and whether you believe it or not that's your own business, I just want to tell you that there's nothing wrong with the coffin in the store. ”
Having said this, Su Chen felt that it was okay, because he couldn't prove it to the other party, after all, he was a patient now, just like a theorist, with an empty stomach of theories, but no practical skills.
Lin Hai's brothers and sisters made eye contact with each other, and several young people were still unconvinced and wanted to question, but this time they were stopped by Lin Hai.
"Give me all back. ”
After scolding a few juniors, Lin Hai looked at Su Chen and said, "Brother Su, can what you said be verified?"
Su Chen shook his head and replied, "No." ”
"There's no way to verify it?"
"Well, it depends on whether your father goes to the underworld to mix well, if he mixes well, he may give you a dream one day. ”
Hearing Su Chen's answer, Lin Hai was silent for a moment, and then said to Wang Huizhong: "I believe what this Su brother said for the time being, but we will investigate this matter clearly, and there will be a result in the end." ”
"Investigation is investigation, the coffin built by our Wang family is well-known!" Wang Huizhong also responded stiffly.
"It's better to be like that. ”
After saying this, Lin Hai left with his family, and soon Su Chen and Wang Huizhong were left in the coffin shop.
"Brother Su, thank you for this time. ”
Wang Huizhong thanked Su Chen, Su Chen waved his hand and replied, "Don't thank me, I just told the truth, and I came to the door this time because I need your help." ”
With the experience of his previous life, Su Chen didn't feel that he was a good person, if he didn't come to the door this time, he wouldn't meddle in this matter, especially before he didn't have a certain strength, it was not a good thing to show too much ability.
