Chapter 53: Strange People
This makes me even more strange, if it's a parent, there shouldn't be such a disgust, right?
"No, I'm just curious! It's also a little strange to see how you react during the day. ”
Hearing me say that, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing, it's just a distant relative, I don't usually interact much, and I didn't expect him to come over, so when I saw him, I was a little surprised."
I frowned because I knew Zhang Hong had lied.
The expression on the face of the two brothers when they saw the man in the afternoon was still etched in my mind, and it was not a look of surprise at all.
They gave me the impression of being more angry, and even wanted to rush over and fight each other and kick him out.
All of a sudden, I felt a little more uncomfortable, and I always felt that there were some things in it that I didn't know.
It's just that the two brothers are not talking, and I am not good at asking, and for a while everyone fell silent again.
Because I always felt uncomfortable in my heart, I was not in a state when I opened my eyes, so that I didn't know when I was resting.
However, the next day, just after dawn, I was woken up by the sound of voices around me.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was the two brothers whispering.
When they saw me wake up, the two of them were busy quiet.
"Little coffin, woke you up? Now you still have time, you can rest for a while. ”
The faces of the two men were full of nervousness, as if they were afraid that I would find out what the two of them would say.
The feeling of being concealed is getting stronger and stronger, but I am more and more suspicious.
But I also know now that it is impossible to know a lot of things from Zhang Hong and Zhang Qiang, so I can only appease them first and investigate slowly later.
"I'm fine, I still have so many things to do today, it's better to wake up early, what were you talking about just now?"
Hearing me ask about what happened just now, the two brothers shook their heads like cats with their tails stepped on, "It's nothing, just a casual chat." ”
Sure enough, I can't hold out any hope for them.
The two of them didn't want to talk to me much, so they talked casually and went to do something else.
I also got up and walked to the coffin.
The old man's body was shaken inside by me with rune paper, although it will not raise the body, but if there are other things, today's coffin will not be easy to lift.
"Come back, old man, go where you need to go!"
I patted the coffin, hoping that the old man would listen to me.
Then I also left the mourning hall.
Because he was about to be buried, in the morning, Zhang Hong specially prepared a meal for all the eight immortals invited.
Of course, this is also exquisite, it stands to reason that the person who carries the coffin needs to be the main table, but because the situation is complicated, everyone may have to play at that time.
Therefore, in order not to distinguish between the other, Zhang Hong specially put the three tables together and prepared a whole large table of dishes.
After breakfast, I briefly explained the situation to the Eight Immortals.
But he concealed that the old man had a problem with change, after all, that would only increase their psychological burden, and if they were upset, it would only make things more troublesome.
Everything was arranged, and Zhang Hong handed out cigarette towels and white shoes to the others.
After all, the journey is long, so I made a temporary assignment, and if something happened in the middle, another group of people would immediately replace me.
"Remember, the coffin is the most taboo to fall to the ground if it doesn't reach the treasure hole, although the mountain road is not easy to walk, but there are also several groups of people specially arranged, everyone must connect well."
It should be that Zhang Hong also gave a lot of benefits to the Eight Immortals, so several people happily agreed.
It's all arranged, and the eight immortals will go to rest first, after all, I can rest well before I can cope with the strength work at noon.
I continued to return to the mourning hall to help prepare for the burial.
In the morning, relatives and friends came one after another, and I looked at the door from time to time, and I was looking forward to seeing the person from yesterday.
Maybe it's something you want to do! When the man appeared in the mourning hall, I was a little excited.
Because I think that if I can't get something from Zhang Hong and Zhang Qiang, maybe I can know something from this man.
But Zhang Hong and Zhang Qiang were not as excited as me, and when I saw the man, that angry expression appeared again.
It's just that considering that there are so many relatives and friends present, the two of them can only endure it.
It's just that the two of them didn't say a word to each other during the whole process, and they should have specially ignored each other.
I'm always looking for opportunities to talk to men alone.
However, in the morning, I did not get away with it, about it. I had no choice but to give up on this idea.
The funeral was arranged at twelve o'clock at noon, so at half past ten, Zhang Hong began to arrange a banquet.
And the Eight Immortals and I were still sitting at a large combined table as we had in the morning.
I drank too much water, so I left the table and went to the toilet, but at the door of the toilet, I met the man.
When I saw the man, I was inexplicably excited, and even felt that it was arranged by God.
When the man saw me, he nodded and was about to leave, but I stopped him.
"Can I ask you something?"
The man frowned, and I thought he would refuse to answer, even thinking I was sick.
But to my surprise, he actually spoke.
"What do you want to know? It's just that I don't guarantee that I know it too. ”
"What is your relationship with the deceased?"
Although Zhang Hong and the others have already said that they are just distant relatives, for some reason, I always feel that they are lying to me.
So I'm hoping to get another answer from men.
The man didn't think I'd ask this question, and he burst out laughing.
"Since you're so interested in me, you've probably asked them who I am, right? What they told you! ”
Originally, I didn't know why the man was laughing, but listening to his words, I felt something.
Sure enough, there must be a problem between them, and what Zhang Hong and Zhang Qiang told me is definitely not true.
This makes me even more confused, why would they lie to me?
Although I, as a coffin bearer, should not be nosy and worry about the affairs of the lord's house.
But for some reason, I always feel that this man has a lot to do with the old man's death.
Even if there is no direct relationship between them, there will certainly be an indirect relationship.
Especially now that the old man is still unstable, I think the key to solving the problem is in the man in front of me.
"They only say you're a distant relative, but I don't think so."
The man sneered.
"Sure enough, they won't tell you who I really am!"
"Then who the hell are you!"
