Grandma Liu's funeral was quite passable, Ma Lao Er first secretly arranged for someone to invite a Mr. Yin and Yang to find a cemetery for Grandma Liu, and then arranged for a few people to stop an old paulownia tree in the village that two people could only hold, and found Chen Guozhong, who could do carpenter work. Chen Guozhong scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment that the axe and saw had not been touched for many years, so let's make do it, just do it well. In this way, Ma Lao Er found two more people to help Chen Guozhong pull the big saw, pull the small saw, and push the axe to push the planer for two days and two nights, and the coffins of three, six, and nine were put together.

Ma Lao Er saw that the coffin was ready, looked around twice, and always felt that the white stubble coffin was not pleasing to the eye, and arranged for someone to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the market town to buy two boxes of black paint and a smear, so that the black and heavy is the same thing.

Grandma Liu's shroud is also complete, a pair of bast shoes, cotton pants lined with single pants, a cotton robe wearing a cardigan, and a white towel wrapped around her head. After several elderly women cleaned and dressed Grandma Liu, they erected the quilt under the corpse and buried Grandma Liu. When Chen Guozhong saw that the burial was over, he held several large eight-inch-long nails in one hand, and picked up an axe in the other hand and began to seal the lid of the coffin. Grandma Liu has no descendants, so no one shouts "Grandma Liu, pay attention to hiding nails".

Chen Guozhong circled around the coffin three times, and then stopped and began to nail the coffin lid on the right, no one thought that before he smashed the axe down, he would shout loudly - "Old Grandma Liu, be careful to avoid nails!"

When the old and young masters around saw Chen Guozhong shouting like this, they all slowly shouted casually.

According to the rules, Chen Guozhong used eight nails to nail the coffin lid. At this time, someone sent a letter back to say that Grandma Liu's grave had also been laid. So, four poles and eight people lifted the coffin for Grandma Liu's funeral.

Grandma Liu has no descendants in this village, so there are no procedures such as wrestling and crying, but the old and young masters who sent the funeral followed a long string, if it weren't for the fact that there were still people who went out to find the old madman, I am afraid that the funeral queue would be longer.

"It's a pity, what a good old Grandma Liu, just leave!" many people in the funeral crowd sighed.

"Yes, such a good person, he didn't even have a descendant left, and this god is really blind. ”

……

Grandma Liu's coffin was carried by two groups of people halfway, and the coffins of the third, sixth, and ninth were very weighty, not to mention that they were made of a tree that had just fallen down, and the weight was even heavier. The person who replaced him grinned and rubbed his aching shoulder, saying that Ma Laoer's matter would definitely make Grandma Liu close her eyes, and this coffin would not be broken in the ground for ten or eight years.

"That's what I said, Grandma Liu has sweated a lot in our old eagle's nest all these years, and she hasn't earned enough to get a coffin like this? Someone sighed and said.

The coffin was sent to the cemetery by the old and young masters, although the old Grandma Liu did not have descendants to bolt and cry, but the people who carried the coffin still rotated three times for the old Grandma Liu in accordance with the usual rules before putting the coffin into the tomb, Chen Guozhong used a white pennant with a spell to put the old Grandma Liu into the territory for a week. This was done neatly, and the people who dug the grave began to fill the grave with earth. Chen Guozhong lit a cannon battle bought by the production team, which can be regarded as a greeting for Grandma Liu in that world, telling the ghosts in that world not to bully such a single woman from a foreign country who drifted to this village.

None of the old and young masters surrounding the tomb of Grandma Liu spoke, and the sound of clods of soil smashing on the lid of the coffin was like nails driving into people's hearts, making people feel pain for a while. Grandma Liu has been in this village for decades, and in these decades, she has never blushed or quarreled with anyone, and if anyone has something that can't be freed, she will go over to help her quietly, and when it's over, she will go back silently. People can't get over it, so they send some food to express their gratitude, she will push out and be reluctant to accept it, sometimes she can't take it off, after accepting something, she will be very grateful to say something grateful. A widowed woman stayed in this village at a young age, staying for decades, and there was no gossip, no human affection, how difficult it was for decades.

Grandma Liu's tomb gradually bulged up and became a not very large tomb. The new graves without descendants are all like this, there is no spirit bolt for conjuring, just a lonely tomb bubble.

When people were about to leave the graveyard of Grandma Liu with a heavy heart, no one thought that Zhao Daya was carrying a bolt with a soul-attracting charm and running over in a hurry with a paper horse in his hand.

People looked at Zhao Daya very strangely.

Zhao Daya ran to the grave of Grandma Liu, put down the paper horse in his hand and the spiritual bolt on his shoulder, and took down a stack of burning paper from his armpit, and lit the burning paper and the paper horse. Zhao Daya inserted the spirit bolt into the new grave of Grandma Liu and pulled it out and put it on the grave, then knelt down and kowtowed to Grandma Liu a few times, and said to Grandma Liu's new grave with apologetic words: "Grandma Liu, I'm sorry for you, it was my crazy woman who hurt you, and I came back from looking for a crazy woman today to hear from the children that it was you who pulled my crazy woman home to get dressed, and my crazy woman dragged you down and fell down." If I had known that this was the case from the beginning, I wouldn't have let the production team send you, and the spirit was broken and bolted, all of which were my Zhao Daya. I know late, it's me Zhao Daya who can't stand you, don't blame me for that crazy woman, she doesn't know how long or short it is, I will make amends to you on behalf of my crazy woman! Old Grandma Liu, you don't have any descendants, I'll send you a lamp tonight on behalf of your descendants, and three days later, I'll come to give you a round grave on behalf of your descendants, and I'll come over and burn it for you on behalf of your descendants! I'll beg Grandma Liu for one thing, when you get there, don't worry about my crazy woman, in front of Lord Yama, you can say a few good words for my crazy woman. ”

People looked at Zhao Daya and began to mutter, is it the old madman who has found it?

"Old Grandma Liu, you're gone, and my crazy woman can't be found. It's just that she can't find it, she's also my crazy woman, she can't live anywhere I Zhao Daya compensates you on her behalf, you must not worry about her!" Zhao Daya kowtowed to Grandma Liu's new grave very sincerely, "Grandma Liu, in addition, I beg you one more thing, where did your soul meet my crazy woman in the future, for the sake of staying in one of our villages for decades and working together all day long, you will lead her back to our old eagle's nest." ”

After listening to what Zhao Daya said to Grandma Liu, some people began to wonder if the fire at Zhao Daya's house last night could be due to the soul of Grandma Liu, so they set a fire to Zhao Daya's house?

"Jingtu, is Grandma Liu like that?"

"Maybe Zhao Daya will think the same thing in his heart, otherwise, why would he burn paper and send horses to Grandma Liu like this?"

This is Zhao Daya feels guilty of Lao Liu's grandmother, a good old Grandma Liu fell because of his crazy woman, who is on the stall, this heart can't get by!"

Ma Lao Er walked over and pulled Zhao Daya, and said to Zhao Daya: "Okay, Grandma Liu has heard it, let's go back, let Grandma Liu rest in peace." ”

Zhao Daya kowtowed three more times to Grandma Liu's new grave, and then got up along Ma Laoer.

"The old madman still hasn't been found?" Leaving the new grave of Grandma Liu, Ma Lao Er asked Zhao Daya.

Zhao Daya shook his head and said, "No!"

"I'm going to go to your place this time to take a look, the house burned down again last night, where do you live?" Ma Lao Er looked at Zhao Daya.

"Last night I stayed with Gazi on the edge of the firewood and straw stack all night, and this morning the neighbors sent me food and drink. ”

"Everything?"

"It's gone. ”

"What's the fire?"

Zhao Daya told Ma Lao Er about the before and after of the fire.

Ma Lao Er listened to Zhao Daya's words, and didn't say anything, he only sighed, what could he say? It's too late to say anything, the fire has burned, and everything is gone, just to snatch Zhao Daya with his head and face, it's useless, I still have to think about how to arrange Zhao Daya and their father and son next.

"That's it, you see that the production team doesn't have any idle houses now, this old Grandma Liu is gone, and the broken taro cellar where she used to live is also empty, if you two don't dislike it, don't be afraid, go to the broken taro cellar to live first. Old Grandma Liu has all the pots and spoons there, and she can make do with it for a few days. When the work starts tomorrow, I will arrange for more than a dozen people to take off the adobe with you, and now the weather is also warm, and there is a ten-day and a half-month adobe that can be dried. Ma Lao Er looked at Zhao Daya, waiting for Zhao Daya to ponder and give an answer.

Zhao Daya blinked and was silent for a while, then raised him to look at Ma Lao Er and said, "Then let's live in that broken taro cellar first." ”

Ma Lao Er put down a piece of relief like a stone in his heart, since he became the captain of the production team of the old eagle's nest, every family in the old eagle's nest has food, clothing and housing on their shoulders, although the production team is very poor, the poor must be carried according to the poor method, no matter what, Zhao Daya and his grandfather and son do not have a nest.
