Shen Yifan's face was black, seeing that Boss Qian's car couldn't fit these two big boxes at all, he had no choice but to say helplessly: "Miss, we are going to work, not to be resident, as long as we bring some necessary toiletries and a few sets of change of clothes." Do you think we can use just one suitcase? We can't fit these two big boxes in our car. ”

When Lin Mengxi heard Shen Yifan say this, she was so aggrieved that she pouted and said, "I want to use all of this." After all, seven days don't pass in a blink of an eye. ”

Shen Yifan thought about it for a while, so he had to persuade her: "Then why don't you bring the ones you used in the previous two days first, and we can come back in two days and bring the rest of the things over." ”

Lin Mengxi saw that she was really out of shape, and angrily drove Shen Yifan out of her bedroom, she wanted to rearrange her belongings. Shen Yifan couldn't help but feel excited when he remembered that Lin Mengxi was choosing her underwear.

After being busy for a while, Lin Mengxi gathered the luggage into a box. Shen Yifan helped her resist the big box downstairs and put it in the trunk of the car.

Boss Qian caught a glimpse of the two girls Shen Yifan found were both beautiful and moving, and admired it, the people Zhao Fengyang knew were really not simple, such a bad-looking boy was so familiar with such two beautiful girls.

The car drove for nearly half an hour before arriving at the old house where Old Man Hu lived.

The old house was in a dilapidated village, and there were not many people in the whole village, especially young people, who mostly chose to live in the town or Liangxi City.

The old house covers a large area, and the surrounding houses are relatively far away, but it is very quiet.

The outside of the house, the boss of Qian has already sent someone to decorate it, and at first glance, it is doing white things inside.

After the car stopped, Shen Yifan hurriedly got out of the car and helped take out the luggage of the three people. The box that Lin Mengxi carried was heavier, so Shen Yifan helped her pull it.

When I entered the door, there was first a big courtyard, and a big pot was set up in the big courtyard, and the food for so many days of doing white things mainly depended on this pot. Although Old Man Hu didn't have any relatives who came to mourn, the people who came to work still had to eat.

There is also a well in the middle of the courtyard, and there is water in it, and it is said that Old Man Hu would still dig well water to use until some time ago. There is also running water in the house, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.

Walking through the courtyard, you will come to the hall.

The hall is now arranged as a mourning hall, with a coffin in the center, and Old Man Hu is lying in it. The lid of the coffin has not been fully closed, so that it is convenient for someone to come to pay their respects and pay respects to the remains. However, Old Man Hu's face was covered with a white cloth at this time, and he was also afraid that his current appearance would scare the people who walked by him. It was not until evening that they closed the coffin.

On the long platform in front of the coffin is a posthumous photo of Old Man Hu, two large candles are placed in front of it, and there is a stove of incense. Next to the long platform were a wreath and two paper figurines, as well as some artifacts to be burned to him.

Because Shen Yifan and the three of them came to guard the spirit as the descendants of Old Man Hu, as soon as they entered the mourning hall, someone came forward to help them put on filial piety clothes.

Lin Mengxi was unhappy in her heart, she knew that she would have to wear this kind of clothes, so she wouldn't come. However, she didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction in person, for fear that the dead old man Hu would come back and trouble her.

In fact, Lin Mengxi and Chen Qinglin were eye-catching after wearing filial piety clothes, as the old saying goes: "If you want to be pretty, you must be filial." "It's not unreasonable.

After that, the three of them gave Old Man Hu a good fragrance, bowed, and Boss Qian took the three of them to the room where they lived.

According to the arrangement, there are people on the side of the mourning hall during the day, and they only need to stay in the mourning hall after dinner until the next morning, and are responsible for taking care of the candles and incense. Originally, I still needed to receive relatives and friends who came to mourn, but Old Man Hu should have no relatives to come over, so their work was not very heavy, but it was just a little crazy.

Old man Hu's house is quite big and there are many rooms, but except for the room where he slept before, the others have not been inhabited for a long time, and they are dilapidated.

Lin Mengxi would rather die than live in the room where Old Man Hu lived before his death, although the three of them slept in the room during the day, she always felt that living in this room would give nightmares.

So the task of living in that room was honorably handed over to Shen Yifan, and Lin Mengxi and Chen Qinglin lived together in another old room that had just been cleaned up.

Boss Qian asked the three of them to rest in the room first, and then came to call them when it was time for dinner.

Seeing that there was only one bed in the room, Lin Mengxi couldn't help muttering: "Why do you want two people to squeeze into one bed?"

Chen Qinglin said dissatisfiedly: "Then I'll let them clean up another room and come out, and we will have one room for each person?"

Lin Mengxi thought about it, couldn't help but shudder, and said: "Forget it, it's too scary to live alone, just squeeze it, at least you can sleep." ”

Chen Qinglin ignored her, bent down and began to make the bed.

Lin Mengxi didn't step forward to help, but stood aside and said, "Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise you would have to be frightened if you lived alone." ”

Chen Qinglin was busy sorting it out, and retorted: "I'm not afraid, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, where are so many ghosts and weird, I have never encountered them." ”

Lin Mengxi pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "Cut, I don't believe it." If I don't come, you will definitely squeeze into the same bed with Shen Yifan. ”

Chen Qinglin straightened up and said angrily, "What are you talking about? I'm not so shameless?"

Lin Mengxi defended: "I'm not saying what you will do, why are you so excited." This is quite normal, if it were only me and Shen Yifan here, I would definitely have to share a room with him. It's nothing to sleep in a bed, just separate the middle, and he still dares to use his crooked brains. ”

Hearing a noise in the next room, Shen Yifan, who was already nervous, quickly rushed over and asked what the situation was.

Lin Mengxi saw Shen Yifan coming over, and asked with concern: "Yifan, why don't you also live in our room." You've just died in that room, and it's disgusting to think that you still have to sleep in the bed that the old man slept in before he died. After speaking, Lin Mengxi involuntarily touched her arm, and it seemed that goosebumps were rising.

Chen Qinglin hurriedly objected: "How can you sleep with three people in this bed, no, it's barely enough to sleep two people! Besides, if a man and two women are squeezed into a bed, if others know, we must be drowned by spittle stars, and we will not have a face to see people in the future." ”

Lin Mengxi looked at Chen Qinglin with a surprised expression and said, "Qinglin, what are you thinking? Of course, it is impossible for him to sleep in the same bed with us." I mean let him lay a bunk in our room. With him in the room, we can also feel at ease. ”

Chen Qinglin understood that she was thinking too much, her face flushed, and she simply turned around to make the bed again.

Shen Yifan thought that Lin Mengxi and Chen Qinglin were actually awake when they were sleeping, and it was not convenient to be in a room, so it was better to live alone, and they could do whatever they wanted, without worrying about waking them up, so he refused: "Actually, Grandpa Hu didn't pass away in the room, he just slept in the hall when he was dying, lying on the removed door panel, which is their custom here." So there was nothing wrong with that room. The bedding on the bed is also new, and I'll sleep over there, anyway, it's next door, if there's any situation, you can come over right away if you shout. Also, Mengxi, pay attention to what you say here, although we don't believe this, but we would rather believe it than believe it, it's always right to be more careful. ”

Lin Mengxi understood that what she said just now was a little disrespectful, her face flushed slightly, she stuck out her tongue, and promised in her mouth.

After a while, Lin Mengxi remembered something again, and asked Shen Yifan shyly: "Where is the bathroom here?"

Shen Yifan thought to himself: Miss, you don't eat fireworks in the world, how can this kind of old house have a bathroom in the room. But he didn't know where it was, so he went to someone and asked.

Lin Mengxi's heart was almost cold when she got the answer, there was not even a flush toilet in this old house, only that old-fashioned thatched house.

She followed Shen Yifan to the thatched house, and found that there was no distinction between men and women, and even the door could not be locked, wouldn't someone break in at any time? In desperation, she had to let Shen Yifan help her watch outside and go in by herself.

When she came out, Lin Mengxi was teary-eyed, Shen Yifan was startled, and hurriedly asked her what was wrong?

Lin Mengxi said with a crying voice: "Yifan, I can't stand it, this environment is too bad, I want to go back." ”

"Uh, okay. Then I'll ask Boss Qian to send you back later. Shen Yifan said helplessly, he thought to himself: I reminded you at the beginning, but you yourself think it's okay. But looking at Lin Mengxi's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to blame her, so he had to agree.

Seeing that Shen Yifan did not accuse her of impermanence, Lin Mengxi was embarrassed, and remembered that if she left, Chen Qinglin and Shen Yifan were alone here at night, if she pretended to be afraid and drilled into Shen Yifan's arms, wouldn't she be left behind? ”

The two returned to the room, and at this time Chen Qinglin had already cleaned up the room relatively tidy, and the three of them sat and chatted for a while, and someone asked them to go to dinner.

The dishes for dinner are cooked in a large pot, and the taste can only be said to be average. All the people who did the white business gathered around to eat, and Shen Yifan and the three of them also joined in. Lin Mengxi took a bite and frowned, this meal tasted better than that of the school cafeteria, but it wasn't much better, but thinking that if she didn't eat it now, she would have nothing to eat later, so she had to endure it.

After eating, Boss Qian pulled Shen Yifan aside and explained the precautions for the night vigil, and at the end, he said with ulterior motives: "You can't do anything immoral in the mourning hall, there will be a bloody disaster." ”

Shen Yifan was speechless, what kind of person did he think he was, even if he wanted to do something, he wouldn't do it in the mourning hall, in case he led the old man out of the coffin when he did it, and said: "I also want to play together, add someone!"

However, he understood that the other party would also talk about this to be on the safe side, so he nodded in agreement.

Not long after, Boss Qian and the people who came to help were all gone, and Shen Yifan and the three of them were left in the entire old house.
