Chapter 21: The Legend of the Wooden House (3)
After Li Qihuai came back, he didn't say a word.
The third child's shroud was changed by him, and until the change of the shroud, the third child's body was always red, and there was no sign of fading.
He didn't have much medical knowledge, and what was hovering in his mind now was more rumors about the heavenly fire.
After returning to the village, there seemed to be more people talking about it, because Li Village was the real birthplace of this legend, which made the two or three generations of the six brothers of the Li family more or less affected.
Among them, only Li Fuqi, who lost his father at an early age, didn't care about it, his education and knowledge were there, and he was a typical atheist, so it was good that he didn't refute it because of customs and habits.
In Luoshui Village, burial is still the main way of funeral, and the cremation policy is still in the stage of government propaganda, until Li Qiwen passed away, no one in Luoshui Village took the initiative to ask for cremation.
Therefore, after everyone's discussion, Li Qiwen will advance to the mountain in the new year, enter the soil for peace, and basically choose the day, which is the day before Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although the eldest brother Li Qisi did not say anything clearly, looking at his solemn expression, it was obvious that he had the same trouble as Li Qihuai.
Regarding the legend of the Five Elements of Heavenly Punishment, the brothers of the Li family belong to the group that is more believing, and Li Qisi, as the patriarch in charge of the ancestral hall and genealogy, will only have more concerns.
But what made Li Qihuai puzzled was that the third child, who had respected the god all his life, was caught fishing in the water by the young people just because he didn't take good care of the statue of the god, and this situation could be spread out to the supreme punishment of burning himself in the sky?
What about thieves?
Li Qihuai really couldn't figure it out.
So after returning home in the evening, he was still thinking about it, and he hardly paid much attention to his son and a few guests in Beiting.
Chen Tianyu secretly gave Li Yiting a look, and Li Yiting took the initiative to chat with his father, who was the last person to see Li Qiwen.
"Dad, don't be too sad......" Li Yiting didn't know how to ask, for fear of causing his father's other emotions.
"Our brothers are not young anymore, and sooner or later they will have to leave. Li Qihuai knew the same thing as his mother in this regard, "But your third uncle didn't get a good end in the end, alas...... Some are not tasty. ”
He saw that his son didn't speak, and then said: "Life and death are fate, but it's nothing." Now that the times are good, you can develop well in the cities, and we will be at ease, because the rural areas are too backward. ”
Li Yiting was still hesitating, not knowing whether to talk to his father about his and the fourth brother's doubts, and finally said tactfully: "Dad, did you say that the third uncle has been living in the temple for so many years?"
Li Qihuai didn't think much about it: "Futang has not been close to your third uncle since he was a child, and he entered the city when he was young, and more than 20 years have passed, and your third uncle has long regarded Guanyin Temple as his home...... Li Village's nest has not been lit for a long time. ”
Li Yiting said strangely: "But the third uncle lives so simply in the temple, how can he stand it?"
"He has never liked cumbersomeness, and his personality is withdrawn. Most of the time I spend my days practicing my pen, I occasionally go to see him, and I often hear him say that the less things outside the body, the better, and it is better not to. Li Qihuai sighed, "I can't understand." ”
Li Yiting's heart moved, and asked: "So, the third uncle should have a lot of savings over the years, and he is useless." Does Futang still need him to help?"
Li Qihuai shook his head: "In the early years, I definitely had to send some money and things, but Futang is almost forty years old, and he has a family and a mouth, so he doesn't need your third uncle's help for a long time." ”
"The incense in the Guanyin Temple is so ......prosperous," Li Yiting pondered, "The third uncle should have left some family funds." ”
Li Qihuai sighed lightly: "Your uncle also thinks so, so let me help clean up your third uncle's relics and want to transfer them to Futang, after all, he only has such a nominal descendant." ”
Li Yiting said with interest: "It should be a lot, right?"
Li Qihuai shook his head again: "It's just 10,000 yuan, I don't know where he has spent his money all these years, I don't understand him as a person." ”
"Oh?" Li Yiting was indeed surprised, "Maybe the third uncle kept all the money in the bank......
The father chuckled and said, "Your third uncle has a quirk, he never deposits money in the bank, he says that he still holds cash steadily." ”
"I see. Li Yiting said to himself, he already had an idea.
It seems that it is necessary to have a good talk with Luo Ming, the apprentice of the third uncle, which is much simpler than communicating with his father.
So he didn't ask any more questions, and handed his father a cigarette, and the father and son smoked at the door of the living room until the mother called for dinner.
