The white flags swept over the courtyard wall, fluttering in the night breeze, and the whimpering cries in front of the spirit could be heard through the towering courtyard wall.

Someone died? Jiang Banxia was very surprised, although she pretended to be a bride that day and did not see Li Tingke, but listening to the voice, this person was full of anger, not like a person who has been sick for a long time, how can she say that she is dead?

I went too suddenly, and I disappeared all of a sudden.

The people around who were ready to join in the excitement saw that the Li family was getting married, and they felt that the bad luck was dispersed in a hurry, and no matter how greedy and cheap people were in this kind of excitement, they didn't want to make up.

Jiang Banxia looked at the white flags floating out of the wall of the Li Mansion, his head was a little unturned, how could people say that it was gone, it was strange.

"Big brother!" After delivering the chickens, the three children saw that Jiang Banxia was also here to join in the fun, so they stepped forward to say hello: "Big brother, did you also come to Master Li's house to carry the coffin to earn silver?" ”

Carrying the coffin? Jiang Banxia was surprised: "It's not been seven days since the person died, why did he suddenly have to be buried?" ”

The little boy sneakily glanced back at the direction of the Li Mansion, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered: "I heard the people in the mansion talk about the injustice of Young Master Li's death, and the master said that if he put it at home, something would happen, so Master Li ordered someone to bury him early." ”

"We also heard from the people in the house that the coffin bearer should give a full ten taels of silver for one person!" The boy stretched out ten fingers and said excitedly: "Ten taels! ”

Jiang Banxia said with a smile: "There should be a lot of people who carry the coffin for this kind of good thing." ”

"More is more." Xiao Tong rubbed his hands: "But to bury two coffins at a time, it's not enough for all the coffin bearers in the city to come, Master Li is still recruiting." ”

"Two coffins?" Jiang Banxia was puzzled: "It's not that it's just that the young master of the Li family has gone, how can there be another one?" ”

The three children pointed to the lantern in front of the Li Mansion, and the bright red word "happiness" on the red lantern was very dazzling: "I heard that the bride married today is also going to be buried together." ”

Jiang Banxia was very surprised, she thought that the Li Mansion held the Yin marriage only in name, but she didn't expect to take a living person to accompany the funeral.

"Big brother, there are not enough people to recruit now...... "Xiao Tong's eyes suddenly widened halfway through speaking, and he shouted excitedly: "It's the housekeeper!" It's a housekeeper! ”

The three children eagerly beckoned Jiang Banxia to run to the side door of the Li Mansion, calling the housekeeper as they ran.

The housekeeper of the Li Mansion was dressed in a vegetarian body, and when he saw the three children who delivered the chickens turning back, he couldn't help frowning and said, "You monkeys, the money has been paid off, what are you doing when you come back?" ”

In the past, I always encountered these errand boys who took the money back, lost the money on the way, and were afraid of being blamed by their parents and came to blackmail the money, which was annoying, so the housekeeper didn't have a good face.

The three children bowed their hands in a proper manner and introduced Jiang Banxia to the housekeeper of the Li Mansion.

The children's idea is very simple, Jiang Banxia helped them, they should also help Jiang Banxia, the children who grew up in the market have the deepest impression of poverty in their subconscious, and they think that the best way to help a person is to give him money.

Carrying a coffin for ten taels of silver is a huge amount of money, and they want Jiang Banxia to earn this money.

The housekeeper of the Li Mansion looked Jiang Banxia up and down, and said with disgust: "Can you move it?" ”

"Yes, big brother is so powerful." The three children were busy answering for Jiang Banxia.

Jiang Banxia didn't want to get involved in the family affairs of Li Jisi's family, she thought that the housekeeper of the Li Mansion should let them go after disliking it, but she didn't expect the housekeeper to agree.

"Today is in a hurry, you kid is cheap." The housekeeper of the Li Mansion took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and he shook it a little, about ten taels.

He threw the silver to Jiang Banxia in disgust: "Take the silver and prepare to prepare." ”

Jiang Banxia, who inexplicably got ten taels of silver, looked at the sky, she was sure that there was no silver rain in the sky today, and she reluctantly went to see what was going on in the Li Mansion after taking the silver.

The three children were full of joy when they squeezed their eyebrows, and they were happy for Jiang Banxia.

The preparation that the housekeeper of the Li Mansion said was actually to let her wait with the coffin bearers, and about seven or eight coffin bearers were squatting in the corner, each side like ash.

A rather thin coffin bearer saw that Jiang Banxia was also thin, and immediately felt pity: "The little brother was brought here?" ”

Jiang Banxia casually tossed the silver in her hand, she pointed at herself and said, "Me? I volunteered. ”

The coffin bearer was quite surprised: "For ten taels of silver, you don't want to die!" ”

"You're not in it for a hundred taels of silver." Jiang Banxia raised his eyebrows.

"No... It's not the same. The thin coffin bearer hurriedly retorted: "It's different, it's different, we people were arrested." ”

The coffin bearers who gathered together looked at Jiang Banxia like fools, if the person who carried the murderer \ coffin was willing, they would screw their heads off and use them as night pots!

Jiang Banxia didn't care what these people thought, she found a place to sit on the ground, and waited for a while to move.

According to what she saw, Li Tingke's death must be strange, otherwise why would Li Jisi bury his son in a hurry without even keeping the first seven? It's suspicious.

There are two coffins in front of the mourning hall, the left coffin is lit with incense and candles, the maid wearing white flowers is sobbing quietly and adding paper money to the brazier, but the coffin on the right is lifted and the inside is empty.

"Master Wu, my poor son will leave it to you." Li Jisi was hunched on his back, and he looked more than ten years old, and he was like two people a few days ago.

The great monk recited a Buddha name: "Amitabha, hand it over to Lao Gao, although Master Li Shi can rest assured, Ling Lang will definitely be able to enter the earth for peace." ”

Li Jisi bowed twice under the support of the servant: "It's troublesome Master Wu." ”

The chanting of the monks on both sides of the mourning hall became louder and louder, and it reached Jiang Banxia's ears across half of the courtyard.

"Get up and get to work." The housekeeper of the Li Mansion sent someone to call, but the man was rude, and his nostrils were raised to the sky.

The thin coffin bearer muttered in a low voice: "I think I am the master of whose family, and I am not a dog slave." ”

The man listened to this mutter, but only rolled his eyes, thinking that they were all dying people, and what he had to say to them was really unlucky.

Jiang Banxia followed this group of coffin bearers into the mourning hall, she looked around, this place is really familiar, Li Tingke's wedding banquet was held here a few days ago, but today it has become his mourning hall.

"A few of you are waiting here, what does Master Wuwu say?" The housekeeper of the Li Mansion stepped forward and ordered.

The coffin bearers replied in a dead voice, they were arrested, how dare they say no.

The whimpering cries of the maids and servants were matched with the white mourning hall, which was extremely permeable.

Jiang Banxia noticed the two coffins on the mourning hall, and she was curious: "Why is the one on the right empty?" ”

"Of course it's empty if people don't put it in." The thinner coffin bearer pointed to the big rooster tied with red thread in the middle of the mourning hall with his eyes: "After worshipping the church for a while, the bride will put it inside." ”

I have been a coffin bearer for many years, and I have seen a lot of this kind of thing, seeing that Jiang Banxia was curious, several old coffin bearers told me two words about what they had seen and heard in this regard.

Paper money, the sound of the wind, and the sound of whimpering were accompanied by the careful voice of the coffin bearer, and the mourning hall and the mourning hall were full of disobedience.
