Chapter 189: Halfway through
I looked at Tian Zhengyang's body for a while, thought about it, and then looked back at Mr. Tian. He was craned his neck to look this way at this time, I turned around, bowed to Tian Zhengyang's corpse a few more times, and muttered in my heart: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, it is not us who killed you, nor is it the way we think of burying you." We are also entrusted by others to be loyal to others. If you don't want to, you can tell me in a dream, but now, you have to understand that you are a ghost and cannot stay in the sun any longer, and I must send you away. ”
After saying this, I don't care about Tian Zhengyang's reaction. Inserted the half-burned incense in the incense burner, called Jiang Yifeng to help me, and then, as soon as I bent down and forced, I carried Tian Zhengyang on my back.
According to the rules, I still had people spread paper money inside the coffin, and then I put Tian Zhengyang's body in the coffin with Jiang Yifeng. Immediately after, I broke Tian Zhengyang's hands, put two copper coins in his palms, and then threaded a copper coin with a thin thread and put it in his mouth.
"Cover the coffin!" As soon as I gave the order, someone had already pushed the coffin, and I found a nail to nail the coffin lid and nail it to the coffin. The Eight Immortals carried the dragon pole over, tied it firmly around the coffin, lifted it, and placed the coffin firmly on the long bench that had been arranged.
Tian Zhengyang has not yet married, and naturally there are no descendants, so no one throws a clay pot for him. I asked if I wanted to find a child to replace him temporarily, but Mr. Tian insisted that their family didn't pay attention to this.
I explained the truth of the clay pot to Mr. Tian clearly, but he insisted that he didn't need it, and he didn't let me waste any more time, so I could only omit this step according to the master's wishes.
Under Mr. Tian's urging, I had to omit many steps and directly command the eight immortals to carry the coffin.
“…… Eight immortals and eight immortals, listen to me. After drinking the heavy wine of the main family, the hearse should be carried steadily on the shoulder. Turning around and cornering, everyone discusses; Go up and down the ridge, don't panic; Cross the ditch, be careful, and safely deliver to the cow's sleeping place, and the golden coffin falls in the center. Feng Shui treasures the land and blessings people, and the children and grandchildren will be happy for thousands of years......"
With my command, the Eight Immortals worked together to lift the coffin steadily.
I watched the coffin being lifted by the Eight Immortals, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I have already said the good things that should be said when I carried the corpse, and if the deceased complains about it again at this time, I really can't do anything about him.
The coffin was raised, and as usual, gongs, cannons, and trumpets were sounded, and there was a burst of mourning for a while, but there were no cries that should have been heard. I looked at Tian Zhengyang's mother, she was the only one who cried the most, and even Tian Zhengyang's father only had red circles in his eyes and didn't cry.
I kicked down the bench that was used to support the coffin, and someone from behind me picked it up and followed behind it, just in case the coffin fell to the ground when I needed to rest on the road.
The time that the Eight Immortals have cooperated with me is not short, and I basically understand all the rules, so I don't need to say more, I have already stood in place and shook the coffin left and right three times, and then stepped on the music and carried the coffin on my shoulder out of the courtyard.
The coffin was carried all the way to the entrance of the village, and then it was loaded into an ox cart.
In fact, according to Mr. Tian's idea, it was time to get in the car as soon as he went out. But the coffin must at least be carried to the entrance of the village, this is the rule, I can't break it at will, so I didn't promise him.
Let the coffin be carried to the entrance of the village, and put the coffin firmly on the ox cart, so that people can hold it to ensure that it will not fall off. I was a little relieved that there was no need for any more unrelated people to send it at this time, only the last person who had to arrange for the coffin to go up the mountain still followed, and had to follow the ox cart all the way to the foot of a mountain near the town.
Coming out of the village, most of the roads are relatively easy to walk. Because of the ox cart, everyone saved their energy. Therefore, although it took too long, no one had any complaints in the end.
But even so, hurry up, and by the time we arrived at the foot of the mountain designated by Mr. Tian, it was already dark.
Looking at the sky, Mr. Tian saw sweat on his head, and he said to me, "At this time, you should still be able to go up the mountain, right?" I don't want to put it off until tomorrow, little coffin, you just have to think of a way. ”
"You can go up the mountain, but I wonder if you've been there beforehand. When it's dark, the road is especially difficult to walk in this kind of gloomy place, and if we haven't traveled the road, then we will have to wait until tomorrow to go up the mountain. ”
Hearing me say this, Mr. Tian was anxious again, and he hurriedly said to me: "I have walked and I have walked, I have walked this road more than once, you follow me, it's okay." ”
Hearing him say this, I nodded although I didn't believe it.
"Okay, let's be careful, everybody!" I said a word to the Eight Immortals, and then led the team to follow Mr. and Mrs. Tian towards the mountain.
By the time we were halfway up the mountain, it was already completely dark. Although the flashlight is on, it is still difficult to walk with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
Moreover, the further I went, the more I felt that Mr. Tian had probably not found a good way to go. He has been on this mountain, that is for sure, but the path he is looking for is not flattering.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the Eight Immortals are also very difficult to walk, almost every other way, I have to try to find a flat place, so that the Eight Immortals can put the coffin on the bench and rest for a while.
But this method made Mr. Tian dissatisfied again.
After not knowing how many times he rested, he said to me, "Little coffin, you see it's getting dark, when will you be able to walk up?" Can you ...... Oh, not that you don't work hard, I mean, can you go a little faster. ”
Hearing him talk like this, I didn't bother to be annoyed, so I just asked him, "Mr. Tian, do you know how many catties this coffin has?" ”
He was stunned for a moment and didn't answer me.
I didn't expect him to answer, and when I saw that he didn't speak, I simply told him directly: "This coffin is made of nanmu, and it still contains this big living person." When you get to the corner, there is a ditch and a slope, all the pressure is on a person's shoulders, if you change it, I am afraid that I can't turn a corner! ”
Mr. Tian looked at me and stopped talking, perhaps not knowing what to say.
But I didn't let him go easily, and when I saw that he didn't speak, I continued: "It's up to you to decide whether this road is good or not." Whether we go fast or slow, that's the way to decide. You blame us in the end, does that make sense? ”
At this point, Mr. Tian moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
I didn't stop him anymore, but one of the Eight Immortals couldn't help it, he sat on the ground and rested, and when he heard what I said, he said to me: "Little coffin master, forget it, let him carry it up alone!" ”
This is obviously angry! There is fire in my heart, and I also know that the eight immortals are holding their breath in their hearts.
But it's easy to say, but it's not the rule of our industry to give up halfway. Therefore, after a mouthful of pleasure, I still soothed the eight immortals who spoke: "It's all already carried here?" Is it possible, can you feel at ease when you go back now? I can't! No matter what the living do, at least the dead are gone, and we can't be sorry for the dead, right? I know you're tired, but I can't put this coffin down if I don't send it to the place, what do you think? ”
We have already reached the halfway point of the mountain, and it should not be far from the location that Mr. Tian said. So after I said this, the Eight Immortals didn't say anything more.
After resting for a while, I asked the eight immortals to rest well, and then I ordered to lift the coffin again, and followed Mr. Tian, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and continued to walk up the mountain.
