Chapter 207: A Bad Night's Watch
Although the old man is a soul, my hand really grabbed his arm.
The old man straightened up, smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, and the group of young people in the back, thank you very much, otherwise my old man would have died a long time ago, how could I enjoy a few more days of quiet life, thank you."
"Old man, you are polite to us, don't you exist?" Li Muyang opened his mouth and said.
"Yes, old man, let's be a family for a long time, so there is no need to say these polite words." Sister Yu said again.
The little fox also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I will see you if you talk too much."
After Lao Dai finished speaking, he smiled a little, I looked back at everyone and smiled, and said to the old man: "Old man, your child will come here to accompany you later, and we will come over tomorrow, you don't have to worry about the underworld, I will take care of everything."
The old man nodded and said, "Thank you."
I shook my head and said with a smile, "You're welcome old man."
The old man glanced at the door of the funeral parlor and said, "They are here, you should go back too, I will let them pay you back after working hard today."
I was stunned for a moment and said, "No, we young people make good money, and it doesn't take much money, don't take it personally."
The old man wanted to say something, but I shook my head, glanced at the door of the funeral home and said, "Old man, we will come to see you tomorrow."
After speaking, I walked out of the funeral home door quickly, and everyone followed me quickly, the old man looked at the back of us leaving in a hurry, sighed and said: "The young man has a face with vicissitudes, what have you experienced, alas."
After speaking, the old man slowly drifted in the direction of the mourning hall in the back hall, and then three or five people walked in from outside the funeral home, and walked to the back hall in a hurry.
In fact, these five people are the old man's children and relatives, we also met when we went out, but I hid in the pavilion next to me for a while, after returning home, it was already more than 10 o'clock, because of the fatigue of the day, we went back to the room to take a bath, and went to bed early, the next day, because Lao Dai and Li Muyang had a commission situation, only me and the little fox and Sister Yu went to the old man's side.
After arriving at the place, I saw a few people sitting in the mourning hall from afar, and the yellow paper was burning, and when I got closer, I found that these people were the unfilial sons I beat yesterday and two people I don't know, looking at the age should be the old man's relatives and friends.
When they heard the footsteps, they all looked back, but when the boss saw me, he took a step back, and even the stool fell down, and he took a stick of incense, pointed at me and said, "You, why are you here, don't come, don't come."
It was also expected that the boss would be frightened when he saw me, I looked at the few people next to me, walked towards him with an expressionless face and said, "Don't you know that incense can't be directed at people."
The boss stepped back in horror and hit the old man's coffin directly, the boss was startled, and immediately turned around and said: "Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, don't blame me."
When I saw the boss behaving like this, the corners of my mouth suddenly smiled and said, "You can't be like this in front of me, right?"
The boss was stunned, turned to look at me and said, "No, no."
"No"? I took another step forward to deliberately scare him, and the boss nodded and said with certainty: "No, not really."
I nodded, glanced at the few people standing up behind me, and said, "It's good if you didn't, did you guys keep a vigil all night yesterday?"
The boss nodded and said, "Yes, we, we kept watch all night."
The boss looked a little frightened at me, and I looked at him and said, "You see I'm nervous"?
"Yes, sort of".
"Why"?
"It's not because dude you hammered him yesterday". The little fox chimed in.
I suddenly smiled, looked at the gauze wrapped around the right side of his face, and said, "Does it hurt"?
The boss nodded again and said, "It hurts."
"Then do you know why I hit you"?
"Know, know".
I nodded, stepped aside and said, "It's good to know, what about you"?
"Big brother, we know it's wrong, don't embarrass us, we know your origins, we really know it's wrong." The third child, that is, the old man's daughter, said.
"Yes, yes, yes, we used to be bitten by dogs, people were stupid, and now my dad is gone, I really regret it, I want to beat myself to death with a stick." The second child hammered his chest, looking remorseful, I looked at them as if they were not real at all, and walked over with a wooden stick from the side.
The second and third were stunned, looked at me and said, "Hey, big brother, what are you doing."
"Didn't you say that you want to beat yourself to death with a stick, come, I'll see if you dare, man, it's hard to chase a horse if you say it."
After speaking, I threw the wooden stick in front of him, making a crisp sound, and the second child looked at the wooden stick on the ground in confusion, and stammered: "This, this".
Seeing that the second child's embarrassment was getting deeper and deeper, the eldest hurriedly walked over and said, "Big brother, big brother, don't be like this, we really know it's wrong, we stayed here all night last night."
"After keeping watch all night, do you feel like you have paid it off"? My tone suddenly became fierce, I turned my head to stare at the boss, the boss took a step back, and the three people I didn't know next to me didn't dare to speak, Sister Yu and the little fox were also burning incense and paper for the old man next to them, and they didn't care about it.
At this moment, Xiang Hui walked in from the direction of the front hall and said, "Master Lin."
I turned my head to look over, Xiang Hui walked towards me quickly, leaned into my ear and said: "Yesterday, they knelt here for two hours, and in the end it was our staff who went to pull, and they were willing to get up, I was there yesterday, and I watched their every move, I think, they should really repent, but it was too late, the old man left, then let him leave with peace of mind, there is a saying that is very ugly, people can't be resurrected after death, so for them, this heart is also sad."
While listening to Xiang Huijiang, I looked at the old man's three children, nodded and said: "It's good that they really repent, the old man walks peacefully, if they just do the work on the table, then the old man will not feel at ease, so I make it difficult for them in every way."
Xiang Hui closed his eyes, nodded and said, "I know, I have good intentions."
Hearing this, I sighed and said, "Nothing happened yesterday, right?"
"No, don't worry, I also know some Taoism, yesterday at about three o'clock in the morning, I went to the spiritual pagoda next to me for a turn, some things have been taken care of, and on the day of the old man's funeral, there will be no ghosts blocking the road."
"They dare! Whoever dares to come and block the way, I will let his soul fly away, and he will never be able to live forever." I suddenly shouted.
Xiang Hui smiled and said: "Hey, I know that you are very capable, and these ordinary ghosts and ghosts are naturally not afraid, but according to the time level, you can't control it, and in the end, you delayed the old man's good day, which is not worth it."
Hearing this, I thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, then thank you, oh, by the way, you haven't rested yet, or you go home to rest first, and leave it to us here."
Xiang Hui may really haven't slept all night, and when he heard the word rest, he directly yawned and said: "I haven't slept all night, I just tied a paper crane in front of me, and there is a soul-attracting flag."
"Yo, you're still going to do this kind of work, are you done?"
Xiang Hui nodded, a sleepy tear slipped down unconsciously, and said: "It's over, you said it, according to rural customs, otherwise I wouldn't have pierced this thing."
I patted Xiang Hui on the shoulder and said, "You bothered, thank you, okay, you go back and rest first, here we come, don't worry."
"Okay, then it's going to trouble the Lin family master."
"Hey, don't bother, this is also my business, what's the trouble." I waved my hand and laughed.
