Chapter 134: Brothers
Five graves, five coffins.
I squatted on the edge of the grave, looking at one of the coffins, and felt a chill in my heart.
I don't believe this could be a coincidence, and when I think of what happened before, I believe that all this is man-made and not providential.
I have experienced the affairs of the Wu family, and I know that at some point, the human heart is more terrible than ghosts and gods.
Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help but look at Zhao Xuanhai.
By this time, it was completely dark, and the only source of light was a few flashlights around.
Against the light, I can't see his expression clearly, but I can imagine his current mood, which must be very bad.
I'm not in a good mood either, I don't want to do this business.
Standing up, I said to the villagers, "Fill in the pit first, and don't disturb the deceased." In addition, these coffins were carried to the village first, and the Wu family had an old house in the village, so let's build a funeral shed in the courtyard first. ”
When something like this happens, everyone doesn't want to stay in the graveyard any longer. Listening to my words, everyone moved.
Sure enough, Zhao Xuanhai stood up again to stop him.
"You can't go!" Zhao Xuanhai said, blocking in front of one of the teams. Then, he shouted at me, "Little coffin, it's dark this day, if there is any accident on the way back, are you responsible?" Besides, where in the world can there be such a coincidence? Since it is a coincidence, it means that it is providence! You don't want to go against the sky, right? ”
When the others heard this, they all looked at me, and I smiled and said, "Since I said what I did, of course I will be responsible for all the consequences." However, Brother Zhao, if you insist on burying your ancestors in this absolutely unlucky place, aren't you afraid that your ancestors will blame you? If your family suffers any misfortune because of this, it is certainly self-inflicted. But these villagers who are helping you, what's wrong with them? They are all well-intentioned, but they are just helpful, so why should they be implicated by your family? Can you be held accountable if something bad has happened to them? ”
"I ......"
Zhao Xuanhai opened his mouth, just about to say something. But as soon as a word came out, Jiang Yifeng rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and said to him: "You didn't hear what the little coffin master said, did you?" If something happens, can you be responsible? ”
Zhao Xuanhai struggled away from his pull, glared angrily, and said stiffly: "Of course you can!" He can, so can I! ”
"Phew!" Jiang Yifeng smacked him fiercely, and before he could scold, there was already a lot of scolding around him.
One of the Eight Immortals invited by a neighboring village scolded Zhao Xuanhai: "Are you responsible? Are you responsible? You don't even look at what you are! Just want to be responsible? You can watch your own life first! Boy, let me tell you, if it weren't for the little coffin, our brother wouldn't have come at all! Now I will say this to you, and I will say this to you for your attitude towards the little coffin master, and we will not accept your family's work! If you have the ability, you can carry the coffin alone! ”
I don't know how many similar words there are, but everyone has made enough trouble, and they all look at me again.
I sighed, I couldn't bear to let these dead people sit on the mountain like this. I said to Zhao Xuanhai: "There are two solutions now, the first is that we put the coffin here, and you can figure it out by yourself, if you like to dig the pit and bury it, you can do whatever you like." Second, we will help you carry the coffin down and put it in your house for the time being, and as for what to do with it in the future, then we will discuss it again. The choice is yours. ”
I thought that Zhao Xuanhai could only choose two anyway, but who knows? He actually chose one.
"Are you sure?" I can't believe his answer.
For their own ancestors, no matter who they are, they can't do anything to put their coffins in the sun, right? Although it is dark now, when the sun rises the next day, what is the difference between that and revealing the body?
But Zhao Xuanhai's stubborn appearance made me even more annoyed.
I can't help but think in my heart, is that the ancestor of his Zhao family, even if the corpse is exposed, what does it have to do with me? That's it, if he likes it, then let him go.
Such a person, even I don't want to serve anymore, let alone Jiang Yifeng's temperamental person?
Seeing him nodding, he immediately picked me up and left.
The villagers and the eight immortals who came to help were already angry at this time, and they were kind enough to help their families, not to mention that the benefits that should be given were the same, just this attitude was unacceptable.
is obviously doing things for their family, but it seems that he owes their family a lot of money, where can such an attitude make people have a good face for him?
It was really dark at night, and when I came down, I even accidentally fell.
But luckily, I didn't see anything scary when I got up.
When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, everyone was already hungry.
At this time, the village chief had already heard some of us talk about the things on the mountain, although it was still only a few words, and the understanding was not very comprehensive, but in the end we knew the matter.
At this time, his perception of Zhao Xuanhai and the entire Zhao family was also not good.
"When the old man of the Zhao family was alive, he was a famous good man, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and he didn't know how many good deeds he had done. There is also Zhao Xuanhai's father, who is also a good person. But how can the son who was born be so unreasonable? Others are for the good of their family, and they don't want to harm their family, I really don't know what's going on. After some chatter, the village chief said to me again, "The boss of the Guan family, I didn't know that he was such a person before, but now that I know, I won't speak for him anymore." In this way, there are still people living in neighboring villages, and some of the Eight Immortals live farther away. Everyone came from afar to save face for our village, and when we suffered such a thing, our village felt even more sorry for everyone. Everyone will stay in our village tonight, and I will let each family make a fire, have a good meal, and sleep again, and tomorrow morning, it will not be too late for you to go back. ”
The village chief is in the position of the leader in our village, and most of the villagers are more convinced of him. In addition, today's events are not only affected by the eight immortals invited from other villages, but also those who went up the mountain to help, who also experienced it and saw it with their own eyes. At this time, he was able to fully understand the words of the village chief, and there was no reluctance to make a dish for the family, and there was no reluctance to thank the eight immortals who came to help, so they went back to their respective homes to make arrangements.
Seeing that the villagers were gone, I also wanted to go home, but the village chief stopped me.
"Boss of the Guan family, I have something I want to tell you." The village chief grabbed me, pulled me aside, and whispered in my ear.
I followed the village chief to the side and asked, "Village chief, is something wrong again?" ”
"Nothing happened, it's just ......" The village chief hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say. Under my urging many times, he finally said, "I remember that the Zhao family only has one descendant, Zhao Xuanhai. But this afternoon, another man found me. ”
"The Zhao family?" I guessed, "The Zhao family has been away from the village for many years, and there are other descendants, maybe you don't know?" Besides, Zhao Xuanhai's father is dead, don't you know it either? ”
"The problem is ......" the village chief frowned and thought for a moment, "The problem is that he said that his name is Zhao Xuanhua......
"Is it Zhao Xuanhai's brother?" When I heard the name, I couldn't help but ask, "Is it his brother or his brother, or is there really a brother alive?" I didn't hear him talk about it at all. ”
"It's his brother by his age, right? When he found me, he didn't say much. It's just that he and Zhao Xuanhai are brothers, named Zhao Xuanhua, and said that something big happened to their family, and he came to Zhao Xuanhai to go back. ”
"Big deal? What big deal can be? "I was even more confused.
