The sudden sound startled me, and I turned around sharply to see Jiang Yifeng standing behind me half-bent.

I hurriedly soothed my frightened little heart and said to him, "What are you doing? Scared me. ”

Jiang Yifeng looked me up and down, and said suspiciously: "I scared you?" Obviously you scared me, okay? Let you rest, what do you crawl under the bed? There's a female ghost under the bed? How come I never found out that you still have such a hobby? ”

"What hobby? Nothing to do! I quickly denied it, but I didn't dare to sleep anymore. Who knows if that thing is gone? If I hadn't left, I wouldn't have been able to sleep. I just stayed with them, and when I was sleepy, I would squint for a while.

Just like that, the whole night passed, and early the next morning, relatives and friends came to Liu's house, ready to help with the funeral.

Carpenter Liu died a horizontal death, and there were some twists and turns after his death. But his death is different from others, that is, he has prepared for his own death, and he has not left any resentment in the yang world, and after lying in the coffin that Liu Yunfeng made for him with his own hands, nothing has happened again, which makes me feel at ease.

At least, Carpenter Liu will not suddenly wake up the corpse, and probably will not rely on it.

I, the Eight Immortals and Jiang Yifeng, a total of ten people, sat at the same table as usual, accompanied by Liu Yunfeng After eating, I took the towels, white shoes, and cigarettes that had been prepared a long time ago, and saw that it was not too early, so I carried the coffin on the road.

The eight immortals lifted the coffin, first stopped on the bench set up outside, and then got on the dragon pole and tied it firmly on all sides of the coffin. I got a rooster and pressed the coffin with a faucet to avoid accidents along the way. Then he gave the incense sticks, paper money, etc. to the villagers who came to help, so that they could be inserted along the roadside, so as not to have ghosts blocking the road and disturbing the dead.

Everything was ready, Liu Yunfeng, as a filial son, naturally threw a funeral basin for Carpenter Liu.

Immediately after, as I gave an order, the drums sounded, and the eight immortals worked together to lift the coffin. I kicked over the bench where the coffin was placed, and someone came up to pick it up and followed behind.

The coffin is headed backwards and feet facing forward, which means that the deceased faces the road, sees the way clearly, reports to the underworld with peace of mind, and is reincarnated as soon as possible, and does not worry about turning back.

Liu Yunfeng walked in front with a spirit banner to lead the way, and I took the eight immortals and all the villagers who carried the coffin, until I arrived at the entrance of the village, and there was only a group of people who were related to the Liu family. When we sent the coffin to the established grave pit and saw the grave keeper, Liu Yunfeng kowtowed to the grave keeper to thank him.

The bench was set up, and the Eight Immortals placed the coffin on the bench.

Since the pit has been laid, there is no need to waste any more time digging the grave, just warm the pit first, and then drop the coffin, and everything will be fine.

I took out the paper money that I had prepared a long time ago and gave a part to Jiang Yifeng and Liu Yunfeng, and the three of them scattered the paper money into the grave together, spreading several thick layers. Then drop the copper plate according to the usual direction and press down the paper money. Finally, I covered it with a layer of rosin powder, and I lit an open flame and threw it down, burning the rosin. Immediately afterwards, the layer of paper money below also caught fire.

The fire burned in the grave, and it looked warm.

Unlike the last time I warmed the pit, this time I didn't have the same feeling as last time. Naturally, nothing strange happened below.

It seems that Carpenter Liu was indeed a good person in life, and after death, he should have such a good place to live that can bless himself and shade his children and grandchildren. We have been friends for many generations, and I am sincerely happy to see him have a good result.

Due to the thickness of the paper money and the size of the pit, the fire was so large that it was already an hour before the fire was extinguished. At this time, the temperature of the fire burned in the pit remains, and you can clearly feel the warm temperature below when you stand on it.

I waited a little longer before I ordered the coffin to fall. When the coffin fell steadily, Liu Yunfeng first filled in three shovels of soil, and then others filled the soil and piled up a grave bag.

On the way back, Liu Yunfeng had been silent, but walking next to him, I could clearly feel that his face was more relaxed than before.

But what I didn't expect was that when I was about to walk to the village, he suddenly turned to me and said, "Little coffin, if you want to fight the coffin in the future, you will have to look for me." ”

I listened and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

You must know that Liu Yunfeng used to call me by name directly, and never called me 'little coffin'. But now, he's shouting like this, and I don't understand what that means.

But there is one thing I understand, that is, it is more taboo to do our business than other trades.

It's like when I say goodbye to someone and never say 'goodbye' to someone. Because sometimes it's really evil, good spirits, bad spirits. If I tell someone to see me again, and I do see them the next day, it will be because something happened to their family and they need my help to carry the coffin.

And now, what Liu Yunfeng said suddenly made me feel very uncomfortable. Although he doesn't specialize in this industry, he shouldn't say things like 'next time I will hit the coffin'.

I didn't answer him, I didn't pick up what he said, I just turned my head and pretended not to hear it.

Liu Yunfeng didn't know if he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and on the way back, he didn't say anything anymore.

All the way to the village, when we walked to Liu's house, we put incense on Carpenter Liu's tablet again, and then took the lai see given by Liu Yunfeng, washed our hands at the door and went out.

This handwashing is actually also exquisite, and washing hands in a golden basin means not doing it. Washing your hands in front of his house means saying, 'I will not come to their house to do this again.'" That is, it is auspicious, after all, no one wants the coffin bearer to run to his house with the eight immortals every day, so no matter how many people are not enough to die.

On the way home, Jiang Yifeng hesitated beside me. I watched him several times, and he always looked like he wanted to say something. Finally annoying me, I couldn't help but stand still, turn my head, and ask him, "What the hell did you say?" Can't you say it directly? ”

When Jiang Yifeng heard this, he still hesitated, and after a while, he said to me: "Jiujiao, there is something I think I should tell you." Actually, last night ......"

"Last night? What happened last night? I asked curiously, but then, I remembered the shadow that blew in my ear last night and poked me with a straw stalk, "Could it be that you played tricks on me last night?" ”

Jiang Yifeng hurriedly said: "How is it possible! Am I that boring? I want to tell you that I actually saw that shadow last night! ”

"What? Did you see that too? "I couldn't help but be surprised.

I thought that only I saw that shadow, who knows? It turned out that Jiang Yifeng also saw it at the same time? How is this possible?

Jiang Yifeng explained to me: "That's right, yesterday I saw that shadow first and got into your house. At first, I thought it was my eyes, but after a while, I heard movement in the room where you slept. I quickly went into the house to look, and I saw you going under the bed to look for something. I knew it then, and you saw it. But I didn't dare to say it at the time, for fear that you would think too much if I said it. ”

Jiang Yifeng was right, if he really told me at that time, then I wouldn't have wanted to fall asleep at all last night. Although it is a wake, I can at least find a chance to squint for a while, otherwise how can I have the spirit to preside over the funeral today?

However, the shadow that Jiang Yifeng said was like a thorn in my heart at this time, making me very uncomfortable.
