Since Zhao Xuanhai's disappearance, the affairs of the Zhao family seem to have been handled much more smoothly. And this sudden success makes me feel even more that Zhao Xuanhai must have paid a painful price for his ill intentions and digging up his ancestral grave, and this price is very likely to be his life.

But no matter what, things go well for both the living and the deceased.

I re-moved the coffin for the ancestors of the Zhao family, buried it properly, and helped the unknown ancient tomb to be re-buried and carved a tomb. Uncle Zhao is of course very ashamed of his ancestors, if it weren't for the absurdity of his early years and the haste of his later years, I am afraid that there would be no such thing. And for the other family who suffered inexplicably, he was even more guilty.

Although his health was extremely bad and he felt a little reluctant to come out in a wheelchair, Uncle Zhao still asked Zhao Xuanhua to help him stand up with difficulty and bow to the innocent family.

But it's also strange to say that when Uncle Zhao came down from the mountain on the first day, he was infected with some wind chill because of the cold wind and mood swings in the evening, and he thought it was not going to be good. But after insisting on participating in the follow-up rebuilding the tomb for the unknown person, his wind and cold were cured without medicine, and even the previous serious illness was much lighter.

Uncle Zhao insisted that it was the ghosts and gods who were helping, and that it was the family who forgave him. I think there is a connection, but it's hard to say how big the connection is. But since he believes in karma, that's a good thing, so I didn't say much about it.

After the affairs of the Zhao family were dealt with, Uncle Zhao and Zhao Xuanhua did not stay in our village for longer, but the two of them went back to the city early. Before leaving, he sealed me a big red envelope, wrote me his contact information and address, and told me that if I entered the city in the future, I must go to them.

There were many friends and many roads, and even though I didn't think I would have any chance to go into the city in the future, I immediately thanked and agreed.

I handed over the red envelope to my grandmother for safekeeping, and in the following months, I was really idle. And as soon as these months passed, it was already winter.

As our coffin bearer, we eat a hundred meals, and sometimes a large amount of profit is enough for us to eat for half a year, just like the Zhao family's this time, the red envelope is very large, and it is enough to eat for a year. So even if I don't have a job to do, I don't care much.

However, while I was fine, I went to town a few more times.

After all, the old man who carved the stele has already taken me as an apprentice, if I don't take advantage of the time when I have nothing to do with him and communicate with him more and learn some skills to come back, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good master?

Besides, the more I get in touch, the more I feel that the old man who carved the monument is unfathomable. He knows a lot of things, and he may have already sensed some of the bad phenomena that have appeared in several villages around us, and he even knows some of them.

Anyway, with him, no matter what, there is no need to worry about running out of new things to learn. After a few months of contact, I was even more convinced of this idea.

As the wax moon approached, when I returned home from the town again, I had just entered the house when I heard Min Min calling me. Tell me that Aunt Gu's house in the west of the village happened to have a happy event at noon today, and Jiang Yifeng and I happened to come back again, so they asked us to go together to join in the fun.

I know the happy event of Aunt Gu's family, because their family just gave birth to a big fat boy a month ago, and today should be a full moon wine.

But I couldn't go to it.

Although red and white ceremonies are called happy events, people have always hoped that there will be more red events in their homes, and it is best to have little or no white events, and my appearance is often accompanied by white events, which is not a good sign for the main family. On such a good day as people's full moon wine, I still don't want to show up.

After listening to my explanation, Min Min felt a little sorry that he couldn't go together, but he still promised me and helped me deliver the gift money. And Jiang Yifeng was originally going to go, but after listening to what I said, he suddenly changed his mind.

"The old man asked me to follow you, and the old coffin also asked me to follow you, and I am doing the same job as you now! You can't go, and I certainly can't go. Besides, I don't know their family well, what am I going to do? ”

Jiang Yifeng was so upbeat that he stayed at home with me. Grandma is old and doesn't want to go out easily. In the end, when he went to Aunt Gu's house, Min Min was left alone.

We had dinner at home at noon that day, and I had agreed with Jiang Yifeng that I would have a good rest for the afternoon. After all, these days, going back and forth between the town and the village is tiring enough.

But God just can't see me resting, for a whole month, nothing happened, I just returned home, but something happened, and it was a wedding banquet, there was a funeral!

After eating at noon, before the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up, Min Min ran back crying. I asked her for a long time before she told her what had happened at the banquet.

It turned out that the day was originally happy, all the guests arrived, and the child was also brought out.

According to Min Min's description, the child was chubby and very cute. Everyone was very happy to see it, and they were teasing him.

It was about to be served, and the child was carried into the house.

Aunt Gu does not have many families, except for the husband and wife who just gave birth to a son a month ago, there is only Aunt Gu, and a family of three has become a family of four. But there are still fewer people in the end, and when they are busy, there is no one to take care of the children.

Perhaps it was because they thought the child was safe in bed, or maybe they were really too busy serving food to the guests, and none of the three of them noticed the situation in the house.

As a result, when everyone had already opened the table and the busyness stopped, Aunt Gu remembered that when she went into the house to see the child, she found that the child was no longer silent.

It turned out that the weather was already very cold now, and in order to prevent the child from being frozen, when she went out, Aunt Gu covered the child with a quilt.

Of course, the quilt was not heavy for Aunt Gu and the others, but it was too heavy for a child who had just completed the moon. The child can't kick the quilt and can't kick it open, not only can't he kick it open, but with the action of pedaling, the small body goes deeper and deeper into the quilt. Eventually, he was completely covered under the covers.

Because of the thick quilt, the child's final cry was not heard by Aunt Gu, and a small life disappeared under the thick quilt because of the negligence of adults.

On the day of great joy, the child was suffocated to death in the quilt. Aunt Gu's family couldn't save anything by crying and grabbing the ground, the happy event turned into a funeral, and the wedding banquet dispersed hastily.

The villagers who came to visit expressed their grief to Aunt Gu's family before they dispersed.

After learning about this, I couldn't stop sighing. I didn't want to go to the wedding banquet because I was afraid that the bad luck on the coffin bearer would bring Aunt Gu's family. It is conceivable that even if it is not the bad luck that I bringed, as long as I go today, everyone will think that I brought bad luck to Aunt Gu.

But now, I am not the slightest bit glad that I have not been in trouble, but I feel very sorry for the loss of that little life.

Is it really like I've heard that if the Misty Forest doesn't settle every day, things like this will happen all the time around our village? When is the first time? How many people do you have to die before the master of the Misty Forest thinks it's enough?

I don't know the answer, but I feel like I have to do something, if not stop it completely, at least to stop it.
