Although our village is a small place, small places often produce some rare good craftsmen. For example, the carpenter in our village is such a very good craftsman.

He learned carpenter's trade from his father since he was a child, and when he grew up, he took over his father's original work in the village. The cabinets, tables, benches, etc., used by many people in our village were made by him. And things that have a lot to do with my business, such as coffins and pasted dead people, are also his handiwork.

Such a capable person, I asked him to help me make an urn coffin, but in fact, it can't be regarded as a difficulty. And it turned out exactly as I had hoped, and although it took me two days later than I thought to get it, the urn looked exactly like the one depicted in the book.

With the urn coffin, you can also help the child to be buried.

I asked Jiang Yifeng to help me carry the urn coffin to the ancient house, and the child's body was still lying in the main hall of the house. Although Aunt Gu and Sister-in-law seem to have subsided a little bit of grief, I know that it is not a decrease at all, but a manifestation of extreme grief that has caused the heart to become numb.

The death of a loved one, especially their own children due to their own negligence, is really normal for them to behave like this, and it will not be useful to persuade them now, and they can only let time dilute everything.

The child's body looked like it had been handled by relatives, and although it was still a little stiff due to the weather, the large joints had gradually opened with the passage of time.

I removed the lid on the urn coffin container and motioned to Jiang Yifeng to help me move the child's body into the urn coffin.

The urn coffin is very large, and even in the position of the mouth, it will not get stuck, so we smoothly put the child in a relatively comfortable position, and only after confirming that it is correct, we will cover and seal it.

In fact, the so-called sealing of the lid is actually different from what I used to do when I sealed the coffin.

There is a circle of beautifully made buttons on the lid of this urn coffin and the place where the urn body is close to the mouth of the urn, and these buttons are tied together with ropes to ensure that the lid of the urn coffin and the urn body will not fall off from each other.

"Brother Gu, this urn coffin will be placed here first. Don't you have to build a grave bag for your child and erect a monument? I'll go to town and ask for a monument for your child first. Don't worry, I won't miss the auspicious day, and I'll be back! ”

Brother Gu grabbed me and asked, "Isn't it necessary to erect a monument to find a good life?" ”

I had to explain to him, "It's true that you have to choose a good day to erect the monument, but I'm afraid you don't want to wait too long?" Anyway, the monument will be made back first, and we will talk about it when it will be erected. ”

Brother Gu listened, so he nodded and let me out.

Jiang Yifeng and I went to the town again and asked the old man who carved the stele for a stele for the child.

But what made me strange was that after asking the old man about the child's birth date and specific reasons, he was immediately shocked, and waved his hand at me and said, "Can't stand, can't stand!" ”

I was immediately confused by him, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.

But before I could ask the question, he was too busy to drive me away, which made me even more confused about being the second monk.

You know, usually if I come, it's too late for him to be happy, but how can he ...... this time Not only did he keep me, but he also drove me out, which I couldn't understand.

My mind is already clouded, and I don't have time to say anything, but where is Jiang Yifeng who can be counted so easily? When he saw the old man on the stele behaving like this, he suddenly became anxious, and shouted at the old man: "What are you old man smoking?" Don't you usually pull Jiujiao and don't let the family go back? Why are you still driving people out today? ”

The old man was also anxious and yelled, "What do you know? What do you know? You two boys don't know the sky, you mess around, do you want to cause trouble for others? ”

When I heard this, I was immediately frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, you said that I would cause trouble for the Gu family?" So where the hell is the trouble? I'll change it when I go back! ”

Who knows, the old man sighed, shook his head and said, "It's also their own family that deserves a catastrophe!" If the child is quietly buried, then maybe nothing will happen. But if you insist on repairing the grave bag and erecting a monument, then there will be a great disaster! My old man is not saying that there is anything wrong with you doing this urn coffin burial, there is nothing wrong with the method passed down by the ancestors. But their family must be maverick to set up these conspicuous things for their children, not only will it not do any good, but it will be a disaster! This child is already blessed, and I am afraid that he will be implicated once. ”

It sounds like it's still a matter of the grave bag and the stele.

But it's easy to say anything else, but I really can't do anything about these two problems.

It's not that I haven't persuaded Big Brother Gu, but he doesn't listen, I can't force him!

"Grandpa, I really can't do anything about this matter." I explained to the old man, "I also told Brother Gu that I couldn't repair the grave bag or erect a monument, but she wouldn't listen to me. According to him, if I refuse to help him with this, then he will do it himself. Instead of letting him do it, I might as well help him get it. Otherwise, apart from other forks, how can it be done? ”

After listening to me, the old man was silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "Life!" It's all fate! I said it before, this is a catastrophe that the Gu family should have! Everything is a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant. Since you have persuaded them, and they will not listen, then it is no wonder that you are told. However, I will not give you this monument. ”

I panicked, thinking that the old man still didn't want me to help with this.

Jiang Yifeng was even more anxious, and said to the old man: "Old man, you can help Jiujiao." He has already promised others, you can't tell him to break his word! ”

"I didn't make him break his word!" The old man said, "This monument is exquisite! If the heavens don't let you stand it, you can't stand it, and forcibly erecting a monument will cause the wrath of the heavens! However, it's not that I won't give it to you for the sake of this, it's just a monument, and it doesn't matter if my old man gives it to you. It's just that I've calculated that even if I give you this tablet, you won't be able to use it! ”

"Not reluctant?" I didn't understand anything about this, so I asked the old man to tell me why.

But when I got here, the old man kept silent, and only told me that 'the secret of heaven must not be revealed', and he refused to tell me the truth. I begged him many times, but he wouldn't speak again.

There is no way, Jiang Yifeng and I can only take advantage of the excitement and return in defeat. Empty-handed, he didn't know how to explain to himself, and he didn't know how to explain to the Gu family.

On the way back, I kept thinking about what the old man had said to me.

I don't know why, but ever since I heard the old man say that, I have had that strong premonition in my heart. I have a hunch that this matter will not be solved so easily, but there will be a lot of chaos.

With such an idea, after I went back, I went to Gu's house in a hurry, and discussed with Brother Gu not to erect a monument or make a grave bag, but Brother Gu still refused very stubbornly, and threatened that if I was not willing to help, he could actually do it alone.

I didn't dare to let him do it himself, lest it make a bigger mess. There is no way, it can only take one step at a time. At this time, the only thing I can comfort myself is that if something really happens, it is much better to have me than just Big Brother Gu, right?
