Sure enough, after I said, 'I won't participate', Zhang Youquan was obviously not as enthusiastic as he was just now. His enthusiasm waned quickly and at a visible rate, and when I was done, he only said very perfunctorily: "Well, I'll think about it." Then he found an excuse to see how the food was cooking in the kitchen, and then hurried away.

I stared at his back for a while, twisted the cigarette butt in my hand that was almost burning to my fingers, grabbed a handful of peanuts on the table, and peeled them one by one and ate them.

Jiang Yifeng saw that no one was around to talk to me non-stop, so he mentioned to me next to him, "What are you going to do with that monkey?" ”

"Monkeys?" I thought about it, and when I reacted, he was talking about the corpse of the monkey that was still in the small courtyard where I was staying. To tell you the truth, I really haven't thought about how to deal with it properly! Now that I think about it, I don't know for a while, I've never buried an animal! I guess even my grandfather didn't have this kind of experience. So, after thinking about it for a while, I replied, "Let's wait until the monument is erected." ”

Jiang Yifeng nodded, just to say that he heard it.

Meals were served quickly, and as usual they were hearty.

Therefore, anything can be done in the village can be very lively, but in the city there is no such atmosphere. No matter how big or small it is, as long as you tell the whole village about it, and then put a few tables of wine, it will be lively and lively immediately. Some people like to join in the fun, and on the premise that there is no urgent matter at home, they are actually willing to get together to help out.

Since we are not in a hurry today, we also eat very slowly at this table. By the time I put down my chopsticks, the whole yard was basically full.

After resting for a while, I saw that the time was almost up, and then I opened the monument.

Because the stele is different from the coffin, it is natural that there is not so much attention to when it is lifted, and the stele covered with red cloth can be carried smoothly by only two people.

Although Jiang Yifeng insisted on helping me carry it, considering that the injury on his hand was just right, it should not be very difficult, and if there was any accident on the way, it would definitely be possible to make a revenge. Therefore, in order for him not to make enemies with others, I still decided to let a strong man in Zhang Youquan's village and Liu Yunjiu carry them together.

As the heir, Xiao Shi naturally came here today, but his father was obviously very wary of me. So from beginning to end, I was not allowed to say a word to Xiaoshi alone, for fear that if he was not careful, his son would be abducted by me. I have nothing to say about such a cautious father, so I can only try not to come into contact with Xiaoshi, so as not to anger him.

The village band played drums and suona songs, and Liu Yunjiu and another buddy carried a stone tablet covered with red cloth and followed me in front.

Halfway through, there are inevitably a few places that are not easy to walk, but the last time I came up, everyone had already walked through and was prepared. In addition, I also arranged for two people to help, in case the person carrying the stele was unstable and let the stele fall to the ground halfway, which would be wonderful.

With almost complete preparation, the stele was soon delivered to Yu Wanli's father's grave.

The tomb buried more than half a month ago now looks a little green and grassy.

I asked people to temporarily put up the stele on a bench and find someone to support it, and then I broke the ground and erected the stele.

Zhang Youquan looked at the tomb and asked me, "Little coffin, do you want to get rid of the grass first?" ”

I quickly shook my head and said to him, "Don't, don't, don't!" Let me tell you, the grass on the grave cannot be plucked at will. Otherwise, if something happens to the unplugged, don't come to me! ”

Zhang Youquan saw that my tone was stern and nervous, so he immediately nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, don't pull it out, don't pull it out, little coffin master, I won't dare to touch it if you don't pull it out." So now, can we erect a monument? ”

"Wait, I'll settle on a spot first." As I spoke, I took out the compass that I had broken two ribs in my life half a month ago, and it was said that it almost killed me, and began to orient it.

Even in our area, there are many people who have a misunderstanding about the monument, thinking that the direction of the monument should be about the same as the direction of the altar. But in reality, this is not true.

The monument can be erected at the head of the coffin or at the end of the coffin, that is, the direction of the big head and the small head can actually be used. But the specifics still depend on the people buried inside.

The direction of the monument must be the same as the direction of the acupuncture point mountain in the cemetery I had set. The so-called mountain direction is the direction of the tomb set when looking at feng shui, which I used a compass to determine and roughly outline it with a wooden stake, and then carefully determined it before burial. There are a total of twenty-four mountain directions in the whole circle of Mongol, and as long as it is the same mountain direction, it will be fine. On the other hand, if you stagger the direction a little bit and don't align with the direction of the mountain, it will be very bad, and the house will be restless in the future. It's not impossible to have a little blood disaster at every turn, and make a ghost or something.

Also, the tombstone and the grave should not be too close together.

Because if the tombstone accidentally crushes against the coffin, that's fatal. Press to the head of the coffin, and there will be crazy fools in the house. When pressed to the end of the coffin, the offspring will basically have to always have a wheelchair and crutches and other means of transportation. Moreover, if it's just that, it's fine, but if the luck is crushed to death, then this house will basically be broken soon.

I took the compass and determined it for a long time before I determined the direction and distance of the monument, and after drawing the range of the ground, the people who invited to help began to dig the pit according to the range and depth I had drawn.

The depth is also for fear that the tombstone will accidentally press the coffin, so it is much more important to pay attention than when digging a grave pit.

Seeing that the pit was almost dug, I asked people to carry the stele over, hold it with their hands, and fill it with soil again, and step on it. To ensure that the stele stands firmly and does not slowly collapse or even fall down as the days go by.

When they saw the stele standing, everyone retreated.

Zhang Youquan stood in front of a large firecracker that had already been hung on the tree and waited, and the small stone was also called to stand in front of the monument.

I looked at the stele and read aloud: "Establish a tomb for a hundred generations, and the stele will be a true dragon." The big red hangs high, and it will always be prosperous in the future. The firecrackers sounded on a good day, and a deep palace was built in auspicious places. The treasure land is prosperous for thousands of years, and the hidden dragon is expressed. The disciples are entrusted by the lord and are loyal to the people, and they are invited to take special care of the local mountain god Hebo and the apprentices of the city god. Thank you! ”

After reading, I lit three incense sticks and worshiped the five directions. Then he handed the incense to Zhang Youquan and asked him to light the firecrackers.

In the rumbling sound of firecrackers, I asked the small stone to tear off the red cloth blocking the inscription with my own hands, and everyone saluted the inscription of the deceased one by one.

On the way back, I told Zhang Youquan about the things to pay attention to when erecting a monument to Yu Wanli. Because Yu Wanli herself is not an adult, but the Yu family was buried according to adult etiquette. And because it was a murderous death, I decided to erect a monument for her as well to suppress the evil spirit that was infected by Gu Kai's scourge before.

Zhang Youquan wrote down everything I said, and kept nodding his head in agreement. Maybe it was because I was too concentrated, and as I walked, I didn't see a single step clearly, and I stepped on the air.

The process of his fall was so fast that, although I was close to him, in reality, I didn't have time to react at all. I could only watch him fall on the ground and eat, and then roll around twice before stopping.

I reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him. Before my hand could touch him, I was startled by his scream of 'ah-'. The hand that I had just wanted to reach out stopped in mid-air so awkwardly, I hesitated, but still took a few steps towards him.
