After changing the new coffin, until the burial was filled with soil, Liu Mazi did not have any changes. But at this time, my heart is no longer with Liu Mazi.

Ever since I left Carpenter Liu's house, I have been thinking about Carpenter Liu, and I have never been able to calm down in my heart, so that when I returned home, I still looked worried, so that Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but ask me a few times, what happened.

I could only hope that something bad wouldn't happen, but it backfired.

In this world, there has always been 'no blessing to come, and evil does not go alone', good things are unlikely to come in pairs, but bad things may come in a row. Sure enough, the next morning, as soon as I finished breakfast, Liu Yunfeng ran to my house crying.

Carpenter Liu, something really happened!

Although I had a premonition of this result, I was shocked when I heard the news. Unexpectedly, things came so quickly that I think Carpenter Liu himself may not have expected that he had made a coffin for a lifetime, but in the end, it was too late to make the last longevity for himself.

When Jiang Yifeng and I rushed to Carpenter Liu's house with our things, sure enough, Carpenter Liu's body was already cold. However, listening to Liu Yunfeng's intermittent crying to me along the way, I can also hear that Carpenter Liu is still prepared for his death, except for the coffin, everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

As I see now, Carpenter Liu has asked Liu Yunfeng to shave his hair for him, he has just shaved his beard, and his face has been washed. He was wearing a shroud that Carpenter Liu personally selected, and he didn't even forget the 'guide chicken' that ordinary people wouldn't remember.

The shroud was made of silk cloth, and it was not worn once, but it was still clean. In fact, there are many particulars about this kind of clothing, which can only be made of homespun cloth, and it is best to make it in the leap month of a leap year.

The clothing can only be made of homespun cloth or silk, because if foreign cloth is used, the ancestors will not be recognized, and the ancestors will not be able to recognize the ancestors. With satin, there is a homonym of 'broken child', which is very unlucky. As for fur clothing, just like the kind of animal skins that I encountered before, they can't be used, otherwise they will become sticky and become animals, and they will not be able to be human in the next life. And the patterns on the clothes are also particular, only straight lines can be used, not twills, otherwise it will leave an evil spirit for future generations.

At this time, Carpenter Liu was lying in the middle of the back wall of the hall, lining the board under his body, and laying sand under the board. He looked very serene, very different from his impatience when I saw him the day before.

At this time, the village chief had already brought someone to come, and when he came, he asked Liu Yunfeng what was going on.

Liu Yunfeng just knelt in front of the spirit and cried, but he couldn't say a word, the village chief was anxious, turned his head and asked me. I understood what was going on, so I pulled the village chief aside and said, "Yesterday I persuaded Uncle Liu not to lend the coffin to others. But he refused to listen, and must have said that he couldn't delay Liu Mazi's burial, and he was afraid that there was something hidden in this. ”

After listening to my words, the village chief still didn't quite understand, "It's really bad to lend the coffin to others, but it's not so serious, right?" ”

I explained, "I've only seen a description of this kind of thing in my grandfather's notes, saying that there is a saying that this coffin is a proof of the life of a living person in the underworld. Everyone has their own corresponding coffin, and whoever makes a coffin should sleep with him, and it cannot be lent to others. If you lend your coffin to someone else, and the coffin contains a dead person and is buried, Hades will feel that the owner of the coffin is dead, and he will let the ghost hook the spirit. So if I guess correctly, Uncle Liu is afraid that he was very peaceful when he left, and he left in his dream, and he was hooked by a ghost. ”

When the village chief heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he yelled at me, "If you know, why did you agree? Boss of the Guan family, you have killed a human life! ”

The village chief's voice was very loud, and the people around him followed the sound.

Liu Yunfeng, who was kneeling in front of the spirit, suddenly howled and cried, slammed his head to the ground hard, and repeated while hitting back: "It's my fault!" It's all my fault! I hurt my father! ”

With his howl, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.

Actually, I don't know the inside story, but I just have this speculation. But now, it seems like my guess has come true.

The village chief waited until Liu Yunfeng's crying gradually stopped, and then he had the opportunity to ask the truth, it turned out that the whole thing of borrowing the coffin was caused by Liu Yunfeng's mistake.

At the beginning of the matter, I still have to say that Liu Mazi's coffin, that coffin, was originally made by Carpenter Liu himself. But because he has always been unwell recently, and his son Liu Yunfeng has also studied with him for many years, he has never had the opportunity to try it himself. So, he gave Liu Yunfeng the work of building the coffin.

Liu Yunfeng is not good at learning and is very careless. It wasn't until the coffins were carried away that he remembered that something was wrong. But he didn't dare to say!

It wasn't until the coffin fell to the ground on the spot that he realized how shoddy the coffin he had made carelessly was.

When Carpenter Liu heard that the coffin was broken, he was not like me, and the first thing that came to mind was that Liu Mazi was unwilling to leave. He knew the inside story well, but immediately thought that this was caused by Liu Yunfeng's mistake.

In order to compensate Liu Mazi, it is also to atone for Liu Yunfeng, and it is also because there is really no new coffin to use. Carpenter Liu made this decision and lent his coffin to bury Liu Mazi, but that night, he swallowed his breath in his own home.

"My father said that you can't be sloppy with the living, and you can't be sloppy with the dead. Doing things for the living, a sloppy time can make people hate you for a lifetime. Doing things for the dead, a sloppy time can make people hate you for a lifetime. He also said that his coffin, don't order it elsewhere, and ask me to give him a ......"

When Liu Yunfeng said this, he couldn't cry again.

Carpenter Liu has been cautious all his life, and his craftsmanship is excellent, and almost every household in the village has passed through his hands, and until now, there has not been a single mistake. Who would have thought that his death would be because of such a reason.

Is it ridiculous? Some people may think it's ridiculous.

But I think that after this incident, the ancestral craftsmanship of the Liu family can be regarded as truly passed down together with the soul.

Since it was Carpenter Liu's own will, the village chief no longer held me back, but only told me to let me help Liu Yunfeng check it. After all, Liu Yunfeng has a 'criminal record', if the coffin he made this time is not good, it is his own father in it, which will have an extremely bad impact on his own children and grandchildren, including himself.

I immediately agreed, and then from the selection of materials to the production, to the carving, color painting, I accompanied Liu Yunfeng to do every procedure.

Liu Yunfeng also grew up with me since he was a child, and as far as I can feel, he seems to have never done anything so seriously before. It seems that Carpenter Liu's death, and this kind of death, really hit him hard.

When the two of us were alone, he also asked me, "Jiujiao, you say, will my father still blame me?" ”

Who can guess the human heart? I could only comfort him and said: "It's okay, Uncle Liu's greatest hope is to watch you grow up, just like my grandfather will be very happy to see me now, if your father sees you now, he will only be happy for you." ”
