There are many people in this world who say that they can tell fortunes, but they can't do anything. There are also many people in this world who say that they don't know fortune telling, but they just don't count it, or they can't tell others when they do.

I am a coffin bearer, not a Taoist priest, nor a fortune teller. I am most familiar with coffins, and I can see a lot of things through them. In particular, I have my own way of seeing how long a person still has to live.

But this method is usually only useful for old people over the age of 60 who have volunteered to prepare for their own funeral, and I can't easily tell the solution to others, let alone tell the results to the old people, or be seen by the old people when they are doing things.

Leaving the room where Old Man Liu lived, Liu Yuncong and Zuo Lanshan hurriedly greeted him.

Zuo Lanshan took the lead in asking, "How is it?" What did the old man say? ”

I smiled at Zuo Lanshan and replied, "The old man promised me to help him and the old lady prepare the coffin." ”

"What...... What the? Liu Yuncong was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Didn't you say that you would prepare a coffin for my mother?" My father he ...... He doesn't need it yet......"

"Mr. Liu." I called out to him and turned my gaze away, "People live to be 100 years old, and they will eventually die." You don't have the old man to see it! What's more, it is not an unlucky thing for an elderly person to prepare for his own funeral. On the contrary, those who are able to do this are the blessed. Those of us who want to ...... But there are so many accidents in the world, how can they be achieved by simply thinking about it? ”

"But ......" Liu Yuncong wanted to refute, but maybe there was no good rhetoric, so he only stopped halfway through speaking, "Little coffin master, you said that there is a way to know if my old man will be punished, what is the way?" Need my help? ”

"No, you don't!" I was afraid that he would follow, so I hurriedly refused, and pointed at Jiang Yifeng and said, "Just have Yifeng go with me, my method is not easy for many people to know." ”

Zuo Lanshan looked a little lost when he saw that I didn't call him, but he didn't say anything to me.

After I explained a few words to the two of them, Liu Yuncong gave me the money to make the coffin. I then left Liu's house with Jiang Yifeng and went straight back to the village.

Back in the village, I went home first and told my grandmother and Minmin that I was safe. Immediately afterwards, he took Jiang Yifeng in the direction of the little carpenter's house - since Carpenter Liu died, the title of Little Carpenter has replaced the former Carpenter Liu.

On the way, Jiang Yifeng asked me, "Jiujiao, can you really see the lifespan of a person?" ”

I nodded lightly and said, "I can see it, but I also told them when I was in Liu's house, and I can see it limited." If it weren't for the old man who was over sixty years old and preparing for his future, I wouldn't have seen it. ”

"Then you mean that this knowledge is in the coffin?" Jiang Yifeng guessed.

I still nodded.

When Jiang Yifeng saw it, he immediately became excited, "That means that the little carpenter may have more than you know?" Why don't I ask him later? When I learn, I'll teach you! ”

"I advise you not to inquire about this." Seeing his excited face, I hurriedly said to him, "Let's not talk about whether other people's family heirlooms are willing to teach you, and it's still a question whether Uncle Liu taught him when he was alive." Besides, even if the little carpenter knows this, he is willing to teach you. What's the use of what you've learned? This kind of thing is better to do less, and if you leak the secret of heaven, you will be punished by God. ”

"But I'm curious!" Jiang Yifeng shouted, and then, his eyes changed when he looked at me, "You shouldn't want to teach me, right?" Jiujiao, you're not interesting enough! Are we still friends? Are we still brothers? How can you not teach me? The old coffin let me follow you! The old man also said let me learn from you! How can you ...... like that"

"Okay, okay, don't make noise!" I was so noisy that my ears hurt, and I looked around, only to find that many people on the road had already begun to look this way. I was suddenly helpless, sighed and said, "Can you be quieter, don't you see everyone looking this way?" ”

"How can I be quiet? You still want me to be quiet! Jiang Yifeng ignored me and continued to yell at me in a loud voice.

I simply stopped, raised my hand and surrendered, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, count me wrong?" I didn't say I wouldn't teach you! What is the forgetting of profit? What's in it? What have you forgotten? ”

Jiang Yifeng probably only heard that I was going to teach him, and then he came up with a smile on his face and said to me: "Of course, if you teach me, you won't forget your righteousness!" Did you say it earlier, do you have to let me shout? ”

"I didn't tell you to shout!" I shook my head and continued, "Teach you!" You just said that the old man and my grandfather who carved the monument asked you to follow me, and I usually help people carry the coffin without blindfolding you, if you want to learn, you can learn it yourself. I have nothing to hide from you. I will, you can learn it. But this time, I ......"

"You still don't want to teach, do you?" Jiang Yifeng's eyes widened, and he was about to shout again.

I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Teach!" I teach! But I just want to give you two choices, and I didn't say no! ”

"Choice? What are the options? Jiang Yifeng asked me suspiciously.

"Actually, it's a very simple choice." I said to Jiang Yifeng, "You can choose, follow me when I do things, you can watch, you can watch as you like, but don't ask me." If you ask me, I won't tell you. Another option is that you don't follow me when you do things this time, and when this matter is done, I will explain the matter to you clearly and teach you in person, how about it? ”

Jiang Yifeng was suddenly embarrassed.

I saw that he had no choice for a while, and I didn't rush him. I walked forward on my own, I took two steps, and Jiang Yifeng chased after me from behind.

While following me, he nagged at me, "Why can't you teach me after watching you?" Why didn't you let me watch it after you taught me? You taught me that I shouldn't practice it? You tell me why? ”

"You've talked a lot today!" I stood still, glared at him helplessly, and said, "Anyway, that's it, if you want to, it's the same." Either I'll teach you, or I'll let you watch and figure it out for yourself. Do you pick one? ”

"Then I'll ......" Jiang Yifeng hesitated again.

I sighed and picked up my pace.

After a while, Jiang Yifeng chased after him again.

"Jiujiao, if you don't tell me, you have to let me choose one, it's not impossible. But you have to tell me, why? Jiang Yifeng seemed to really don't understand what I asked him to choose, so he said, "Look, you usually carry coffins for people, and you never say that you won't let me see them." But why can't you let me see it this time? As long as you tell me the reason, I will choose one, and I will never bother you. What do you think? ”

Looking at his posture, he will not give up until he achieves his goal. I looked up at the road, and there was only a short distance left from the little carpenter's house. I simply stopped again, turned to him and said, "You really want to know that?" ”

Jiang Yifeng blinked his eyes and nodded at me.

"Alright then, I'll tell you." I looked him in the eye and said to him, "If I teach you and let you see it with your own eyes again, it will be equivalent to me leaking the secret of heaven to you." But if after I taught you, you didn't watch this time. Then it doesn't count as me leaking the heavenly secret, it's your business if you can use it in the future, and it's your business if you don't use it, it has nothing to do with me. In short, the heavenly machine cannot be leaked. ”
