There is a custom in our area, when a person dies and comes out of the funeral, a person needs to sit on the coffin and go up the mountain with the coffin, which is called the coffin boy.

But the coffin boy is also particular, the coffin and the official homonym, if it is the joy and mourning of the old man in the family, then the person sitting in the coffin will be the descendants of the old man, which means that the coffin makes a fortune, but if it is the kind of person who dies in vain, the bad luck can be big, and then a professional coffin boy is needed.

And I, Liu Jinyang, is a professional coffin boy, the reason why I can become a coffin boy has to start from when I was seven years old, when I was seven years old, my hometown was flooded, and I lived at home, at that time there was no orphanage in the countryside, seeing that I was going to starve to death, the old Taoist priest who lived in the broken temple at the head of the village took me in.

The old Taoist priest is also surnamed Liu, but no one knows the name, everyone calls him Liu Laodao, Liu Laodao has no children and no daughters, and usually makes a living by helping people do white things.

Liu Laodao saw that I was pitiful, so he asked me to help him help, if there is a need to sit in the coffin boy, let me sit in the coffin once, collect some extra extra money, I became a coffin boy, this sitting is nine years.

One night in the summer, Liu Laodao and I were eating in the broken temple, and suddenly heard someone shouting Liu Laodao's name, Liu Laodao hurriedly went out, and came back happily after a while.

Boss Chen is known as the richest man in Qinghe Town, his grandfather died of illness five years ago, and he had a beautiful funeral, even those of us who do white things have also taken a lot of cheap, this time it is estimated that it is about the same, no wonder Liu Laodao will be happy.

Liu Laodao and I took the guy who did white things, and immediately went to Qinghe Town, and when we arrived at Boss Chen's house, the mourning hall was built, and the crying inside shook the sky, looking sad.

When they saw us coming, someone immediately welcomed us in, but as soon as I entered the door, I frowned, because I saw a big red coffin in the mourning hall.

Everyone knows the rules for using coffins, red coffins are for people who are happy and mourning, suicides, accidents use black coffins, unmarried minors use white coffins, this Boss Chen's daughter is only sixteen years old, and she drowned, according to the rules, it is not right to use red coffins.

But Liu Laodao didn't speak, and I didn't dare to say much, so I didn't know, Liu Laodao had already discussed the specifications of the funeral and the auspicious time of the funeral with the mourner (relatives of the deceased), and soon after, Liu Laodao cautiously told me a number, sure enough, this Boss Chen is a particular person, and this funeral is also a beautiful funeral.

The spirit was suspended for three days, and during the three days, the guests of the mourning hall rained, a large number of people came to mourn, and the funeral supplies such as wreaths were placed in the house, and at eight o'clock in the morning of the fourth day, it was an auspicious time for the funeral.

Early in the morning, I saw eight more strong men in the mourning hall, and they all greeted me when they saw me, these eight people are the coffin bearers of the nearby ten miles and eight villages, and the coffin bearers are generally eight people, also known as the Eight King Kong or the Eight Immortals, ordinary people can't do it, they are often specialized, and they have cooperated many times before, so they are all familiar.

Li Sanye is the leader of this group of eight King Kongs, but after a while, I saw that Li Sanye quarreled with Boss Chen, and only after inquiring privately did I know that Boss Chen wanted to bury his daughter in the ancestral grave of his hometown, but the problem is that Boss Chen's ancestral grave is in Chenjia Village, dozens of miles away, several mountains away from here, such a long way, the price is different, and this is being fought for at this time.

After listening to it, I kept smacking my tongue, does this Boss Chen want to break the rules in a string, forget it if the person who died in vain uses a red coffin, we here, unless the women are descendants, otherwise they can't enter the ancestral grave, but it's still that sentence, the Chen family didn't speak, and we won't talk much, as long as the price is right, then do it.

Li Sanye quarreled with Boss Chen for a while, the price should have been negotiated, and the time was almost up, so I went to change into a set of children's clothes and sat on the coffin early.

"Lift the coffin, go out on the road, and avoid the living"

Liu Laodao took a deep breath and yelled, and the people outside the door turned around to avoid it, while the Eight King Kongs roared, lifted the coffin, and walked out of the door.

Chenjia Village is dozens of miles away from Qinghe Town, and there are several mountains in the middle, and to carry the coffin to Chenjia Village, it has to be in the middle of the night, if it is not for the money, no one will do this work.

"Damn, this Boss Chen must be crazy, a girl used a longevity coffin and added a coffin, his grandfather didn't have this treatment back then, and he died"

When he got to a place where there was no one, a King Kong was scolding there.

But these words made me listen to it in my heart, ordinary people, it would be good to have a good coffin, in the past, only the ancient landlord Lao Cai heard that the coffin was added to the outside of the coffin, this Boss Chen is really crazy, this treatment is better than his grandfather.

"Carry the coffin quickly, keep silent, and turn a blind eye"

At this moment, Li Sanye's deep voice came, and I saw Li Sanye's face on the coffin was ugly.

The rest of King Kong was stunned for a while, but he quickly shut up, and even his pace sped up a little, because I knew that Li Sanye's words were not simple.

The so-called jargon is the same as the black saying of being a bandit in the old man, Li Sanye's words also have another meaning, which means: The coffin on your back may be strange, but don't be afraid, just keep moving forward.

Similarly, Li Sanye also used this sentence to warn others that the coffin he is carrying now is problematic and not simple.

I've been messing with the people carrying the coffin for a long time, and I also know their black words, as soon as I heard this, I suddenly felt cold behind my back, and I felt that something was wrong from the moment I entered Boss Chen's house, but it was too late to regret it at this time.

I don't know if Li Sanye is a crow's mouth, not long after he finished speaking, I heard the breathing sound of the Eight King Kongs, and the sweat of beans fell down drop by drop, and fools could see that the coffin had become heavier, more than twice as heavy as when he went out.

"Brother Liu, are you okay?"

After a while, Li Sanye asked me, the coffin on his shoulder is heavy, in the eyes of the coffin bearer, it is a ghost pressing the coffin, it is said that the higher the path of the little ghost, the heavier the coffin, Li Sanye asked this, is asking me, is it a ghost.

"Third master, no, it's okay"

I swallowed, I didn't feel anything except feeling cold.

Hearing that I could still reply, Li Sanye sighed and glanced back at me, this thing is really weird today.

The Eight King Kongs gritted their teeth and continued to walk forward, not long after, the clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and the sun shone down, and the Eight King Kongs breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, it is good to have the sun, ghosts are afraid of the sun, if there are even those who are not afraid of the sun, it is terrible.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, walking towards the sun, the eight King Kongs all feel that the coffin on their shoulders is a few points lighter, and they even walk a little faster.

But this pleasure did not last long, and after a few miles of progress, we began to climb the first hill, and the road on the mountainside was full of trees that shaded the sky and the sun, and the sun could not shine, and the day was as good as the night.

Just as we walked into the mountainside road, Li Sanye suddenly called out to everyone.

"What's wrong?"

"Listen, there is a voice in the coffin"

Li Sanye's voice was already trembling, and as soon as he finished speaking, we heard it coming from the coffin

"Knock, knock, knock·····"
