Chapter 52: There is a corpse
Seeing this scene, the two brothers finally stood up from the ground, but the two of them did not look at the old man, but walked in front of me.
"Little coffin, what's going on? My father is obviously happy to mourn, how can he cheat the corpse? Is there something that is not in place? ”
Maybe it was because he trusted me too much before, but now that something is wrong, Zhang Hong's face is worried, and he is a little dissatisfied.
And when I faced this situation, I could only sigh silently, it seems that there are some things I can't hide.
But if you think about it carefully, if you understand it, maybe you can save a little worry, at least everyone is prepared, and even if something happens, it will be easy to deal with.
"Brother Zhang, since it is now, I will tell you some things, although the old man is dying and is a happy funeral, but on the day the old man left, he had a conflict with the old man's birthday, so ......"
In fact, everyone understands people, and there are some words that I don't need to pick out too clearly, and sure enough, after listening to my words, the two brothers have understood what I mean, and their eyes are full of shock.
"Little coffin, how can this be? Could it be that after my father died, he couldn't have a good death? ”
I shook my head helplessly, "It can only be said that creation makes people, maybe the old man is destined to have this catastrophe in his life." ”
The two brothers' faces were even more ugly, and the two of them were not speaking, so I gave them the time to think for themselves.
I walked over to the coffin and put down the old man who was still standing in the coffin.
The two brothers also walked over and looked at their father in the coffin, their faces full of tears.
"Little coffin, what should I do? My father did good deeds and good deeds all his life, but why did he not live in peace after he died? ”
"Brother Zhang, many things are uncontrollable, and the only thing we can do now is to bury the old man smoothly, if we make good arrangements, there is still room for the problem to turn around."
Although I am not very sure now, I am so sad to see the brothers.
I really don't want to make it worse.
Secondly, the sense of responsibility in my heart is also asking me that since I have taken over this matter, I must handle it well.
Now outsiders call me "little coffin master", and a large part of the reason is related to grandpa.
So I can't insult this name, and I can't let my grandfather follow me to shame.
Hearing my words, the two brothers knelt down in front of me with a thud.
"Little coffin, my father's affairs will be entrusted to you, as long as you handle it well, our brother will owe you a favor, and we will definitely not shirk it if it is useful in the future."
The two brothers spoke in unison, and I was also very touched when I saw them like this.
From this point of view, these two brothers can definitely be regarded as a model of filial piety.
I said yes and helped the two brothers up.
Then he returned to the straw mat, and he didn't speak.
I didn't hear about it all night, and it wasn't until late that I closed my eyes and squinted for a while.
The next day, when the villagers came to help, I woke up.
The two brothers, Zhang Hong and Zhang Qiang, also got up to greet the villagers, and they could see that their faces were very bad, and I knew that it must be because of what happened last night.
I walked over to the two of them and gently patted them on the shoulder, signaling them not to worry.
The two of them nodded to me and cheered up to greet the villagers.
After the funeral yesterday, Zhang Hong had already sent people to the funeral.
So at noon, the relatives of the family came to see the old man for the last time.
Whenever someone came over, I handed over an incense note, and the two brothers, Zhang Hong and Zhang Qiang, bowed beside me and thanked them.
At first, the whole process went very smoothly, but when a man who looked like the two brothers walked into the mourning hall, I noticed that the faces of the two brothers had changed slightly.
Zhang Qiang was even more excited, and wanted to walk over and say something to the other party, but was finally stopped by Zhang Hong.
Seeing this scene, I suddenly felt very strange, and I always felt that there should be some situation between the two brothers and this man.
However, because there were other guests, it was not good to stop halfway, so I could only continue to arrange other guests, so I could only let go of the doubts in my heart first.
I have to say that there are many relatives and friends in large families, and they say goodbye to the body from noon, and it is not until the evening that all relatives and friends are clean.
Of course, the man also left, and I regretted it.
After dinner in the evening, the three of us sat down in the mourning hall again and began to discuss the next matters.
"Little coffin, we will be buried tomorrow, when do you think we will erect a monument?"
It stands to reason that a monument can only be erected after the death of both parents and a year after the latter's death.
However, because some people have grievances in their hearts when they die, or because of special circumstances, they will choose to erect a monument in advance.
Because the stele can also play a role in suppression, and even some spiritual steles can directly purify the evil obstacles on the body of the undead.
It is precisely because of this that sometimes a stone tablet costs tens of thousands.
It seems that the two brothers are also worried about their father's affairs and want to erect a monument as soon as possible.
"I haven't considered the issue of erecting a monument before, so I haven't had time to order a stele yet, and even if I want to erect a stele, I may have to wait a few days."
The two brothers nodded, "We all understand this, but my father is like this, we really can't rest assured, so you can help calculate that after the burial, we will arrange for the monument to be erected as soon as possible!" ”
I nodded, since this is the will of the people, I naturally won't say anything.
"By the way, Brother Zhang, you have invited all the Eight Immortals! With the old man's current situation, tomorrow's coffin may not be easy to carry, so we must be prepared in all aspects. ”
"Don't worry, I've arranged all of this, tomorrow morning, the eight immortals of your village and the eight immortals of the neighboring village will come to meet, and I'll have a few more benches prepared by then."
Although the bench is really not very useful for mountain roads, as long as it can play a small role now, we must also use it.
Everything in front of me was discussed, and I unconsciously thought of the man during the day.
"By the way, Brother Zhang, I remember that during the day, a man came to mourn himself, who was that man?"
As soon as my words came out, the expressions of the two people who were originally expressionless suddenly became nervous.
The two men looked up at me, and there was even more vigilance in their eyes
"It's just a distant relative, it's very far away, why did you remember to ask this?"
I don't know why, whether it's the appearance of the two people or the far-fetched answer, it makes me feel that the two brothers are very reluctant to mention the man.
