I don't think it's strange that Tian Zhengyang's father was able to prepare a coffin in one night. Based on his performance when he communicated with me the day before, I could already easily judge that in order to ensure that Tian Zhengyang could be cremated as soon as possible, he did not mind doing anything that seemed incredible.

Of course, this eagerness may seem strange, but since he did get the coffin, I was supposed to fulfill the promise I made the day before.

There were originally eight immortals in the neighboring village, but I still trusted the team in our village that cooperated with me many times, so since Tian Zhengyang's father asked me to carry the coffin, then I also brought the eight immortals in our village together.

Tian Zhengyang's parents did not live in a neighboring village, and they did not plan to bury Tian Zhengyang in the village. Since the road to the town is relatively long, carrying a coffin and walking over, coupled with various etiquette along the road, I am afraid that I may not be able to walk all day. Therefore, the couple hired an ox cart from the village in advance to pull it.

Although they didn't consult me with this decision when they made it, I took a dismissive attitude towards their arrangements because it didn't make the coffin fall to the ground, which was not a violation of the rules, and I didn't want to deal with them too much.

Explain to me the general situation...... Or it can be said that after informing me once, Tian Zhengyang's father asked me urgently: "Little coffin, when are you going to start?" I'm ready to go. ”

I glanced at him, then looked back at the Eight Immortals behind me, and didn't speak.

But beside me, Jiang Yifeng, who has always been not good-tempered, couldn't bear it anymore at this time. He stepped forward and said to Tian Zhengyang's father: "Mr. Tian, I have never done anything like this!" It was your family who asked the little coffin master and the eight immortals to help your son carry the coffin, and you are also asking for reason, do you plan to let the little coffin master and them keep standing outside like this and drinking the northwest wind? ”

Jiang Yifeng's words are of course unkind, but they are telling the truth.

No matter how anxious Tian Zhengyang's father is, I can ignore it, but it makes no sense to let the Eight Immortals carry the coffin hungry.

I don't know if he really didn't understand what Jiang Yifeng meant, or if he really didn't understand our rules, or if he was born with only knowing how to think about things around himself, anyway, after Jiang Yifeng said this, instead of hurrying to prepare a banquet to make up for it, he seemed to be very reasonable, and said to me: "It's not too far from here to the town, and I have already hired a car, and a banquet for thanks." Little coffin, if you are too far away, just help carry the coffin into the car, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

"What do you mean by that? Do you need us? One of the most burly men among the Eight Immortals stood up and yelled at Tian Zhengyang's father, "You followed the little coffin master from our village here early in the morning, could it be that you are playing with us?" After shouting these words, he turned his head to look at me again, and said with some complaint in his tone: "Little coffin, why did you take such a job?" This guy really doesn't know any rules. What if something goes wrong? ”

I understood the concerns in his heart, and when I saw Tian Zhengyang's father stunned by his yelling, I had to frown, walked up to him and whispered to him: "Mr. Tian, according to the rules of our industry, help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, there is no reason to throw people down halfway." That's creating evil, we all believe in karma, and we can't do anything like that. And, Mr. Tian, I want to remind you that there is no reason to eat after giving us people a banquet. The Eight Immortals were invited by you to help, and it is impossible for you to carry the coffin hungry. ”

Maybe it was because he saw that I was a little anxious, so Village Chief Li, who had been serving as a guest on the sidelines, hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Tian, Mr. Tian, what the little coffin master said makes sense, and the customs of our place are like this." Come and come, it's really almost time to eat, go to our house, go to our house. ”

Village Chief Li said as he glared at me. It seems that he seems to have a lot of scruples about this Mr. Tian.

Mr. Tian had already reacted at this time, he was not a stupid person after all, after figuring out the matter and listening to the words of the village chief, he immediately said to me: "Yes, yes, Village Chief Li is right, follow the customs of the villagers, follow the customs of the villagers." Little coffin, then invite the little coffin and these brothers to eat first, and when you are full of food and drink, we will go on the road! ”

Hit the road?

Why is this so ugly?

I sighed secretly in my heart, stretched out my hand to grab Jiang Yifeng, who was about to be anxious with him, and turned my head to appease the Eight Immortals I brought:  People in the city, many rules are not very understood. I'll make it clear to him in a moment, so you should be more careful on the road. 

After listening to my words, although the Eight Immortals still had an indignant look on their faces, they still didn't continue to make trouble.

Everyone walked to Village Chief Li's house, and when they arrived at the place, Village Chief Li had already arranged for his daughter-in-law to prepare a banquet, and called a few villagers to help with the kitchen.

Village Chief Li asked the Eight Immortals to take a seat, and when he saw that I didn't lean towards the table, he turned around and came to me and Jiang Yifeng again. I asked Jiang Yifeng to follow the village chief first, and I stood at the door, blocking Mr. Tian, who came in one step later.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw me standing at the door, and then asked, "Little coffin, why don't you go in?" ”

I pulled him out the door and asked, "Everything you need to prepare is not bad, right?" You'll need it when you're done eating, and I'll remind you that it's too late. You treat me badly, I don't care. But without those few things, the etiquette was lost, and the Eight Immortals refused to move, and I couldn't help it. ”

"Ready?" Mr. Tian looked at me stupidly a few times as if he didn't know anything, and then asked me, "I'm ready for the coffin, so I'll stop at the Hu family." As for the ox cart, I have already hired it. Oh, and the banquet you mentioned is also counted in my place, what? Is there anything else I need to prepare? ”

I saw that he didn't understand again, and I didn't know why, but my heart suddenly became irritable. After staring at him for two more times, I finally didn't want to say anything more to him. I turned and went into the yard, leaving him far behind.

Just as I was walking towards the courtyard, Village Chief Li hurriedly greeted me.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Little coffin, nothing happened, right? I look at the ......," he said to me hurriedly, and when he saw that I was only going on, he stopped. watched me take a few steps, and then walked quickly towards Mr. Tian.

Behind me, I heard him talking to Mr. Tian, but I don't know exactly what he said.

I sighed, and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals under the Zhang Luo of Village Chief Li's daughter-in-law. It didn't take long for the dishes to be almost ready. From a distance, I saw Village Chief Li leaving from the door with Mr. Tian, and it was not long before he was far away.

"Jiujiao, what did you tell him?" Jiang Yifeng leaned over and asked me.

"Nothing." I shook my head, not wanting to say more.

Fortunately, Jiang Yifeng didn't ask any more questions when he saw me shaking his head.

I didn't want to speak, and the eight immortals all buried their heads in eating their own food, without much communication, and the meal was eaten quietly. It wasn't until everyone had eaten that I saw Village Chief Li come back with Mr. Tian.
