The leader motioned for Luo Balin to wait behind, and he himself stepped forward behind the golden gong and whispered a few words in his ear. Jin Tongluo looked back at Luo Balin, slowly got up and came to him, Luo Balin hurriedly greeted him, supported the tired Jin Tongluo, and said: "Lord Jinzhai, please mourn!" Your body matters! ”

The golden gong looked at Luo Balin and nodded, and his body lost his former majesty, and said softly: "Lord Luozhai, let you see it, my father went suddenly, I was not prepared at all!" ”

"Hey, people always have to go this way, can I go to the front to worship the old village owner? He used to take care of our stone village, and I want to pay homage to his old man. Luo Balin looked at the people who were full of filial piety, and suddenly there was a sad feeling in his heart, he really wanted to pay homage to the deceased old man.

Jin Tonggong looked at the sincere Luo Balin, nodded lightly and led him to the front of the coffin, Luo Balin immediately knelt down, and the two monkeys also knelt down, and handed over the incense candles.

"Master Jin Lao Village, I am Luo Balin of Stone Village, today coincides with your old death, and I came to worship recklessly, I hope you don't blame!" Luo Balin said and lit the incense candles, burned the paper, bowed three times with his hands folded, and then said: "Jin Lao Zhai master, you can rest assured, our stone village will always get along with Tongluo Village, if you don't dislike it, I still want to marry the Jin Zhai master!" ”

When Jin Tongluo knelt behind Luo Balin and heard what he said, he knew that he was here for collegiality, but when he saw him worship his father so sincerely, his heart softened a lot, and he said softly: "Lord Luozhai, do you really want to marry my Tongluo Village?" ”

"Of course, you see that the two of us have lived here for decades, and we have mentioned the matter of marriage in the early years, but it has not been implemented, but I hope that our generation can really get married." Luo Balin looked at the golden gong and said.

The golden gong got up and said, "Lord Luozhai, you go with me to the back room, and I will let people entertain you two well." ”

"Then thank you to the master of Jinzhai!" Luo Balin said and followed Luo Balin to get up and came to the room in the courtyard, and the golden gong beckoned someone to bring tea, and said: "Lord Luozhai, you came to me today for a collegiate matter?" ”

"Exactly, the master of the village, it's just that now you are mourning, and it's not convenient to talk, the second monkey and I can wait to send the old village master up the mountain and then talk to you in detail, do you think it's good?" Luo Barin wanted to show the sincerity of his friendship.

"As long as it doesn't delay your affairs, of course I think it's good, my father's time to go up the mountain is set for tomorrow morning, and it should be cleaned up in the afternoon, but the matter on the collegial ......"

"Master Jinzhai, you don't have to worry, the matter on the collegiate discussion, we will discuss it when you finish dealing with the funeral." Luo Barin immediately interrupted the words of the golden gong, he didn't want the golden gong to decide immediately, hoping that he could see that his sincerity would change.

"Well, then I'll wait for the funeral to be dealt with before I come to discuss with Lord Luozhai, after all, everyone is also an interdependent neighbor. Then you can stay here as you like, and I'm going to the front yard to mourn. Jin Tongluo stood up and clenched his fist at Luo Balin, and immediately went to the courtyard.

"Owner, do you really want to wait until tomorrow?" The second monkey saw the golden gong walking away and asked.

"Of course, now that the owner of Jinzhai is in such a mood, it will delay the matter if he doesn't talk about it, and when the matter is dealt with tomorrow, maybe things will take a turn for the better, let's wait for a day." Luo Balin looked at the two monkeys and said.

"It's still thoughtful from the owner of the village!" The two monkeys looked at Luo Balin and said, so the master and servant lived in the courtyard of the Tongluo Village under the leadership of the subordinates, and the people in the village were mourning in the front yard, and the yard was also clean, so Luo Balin took the opportunity to sleep well, until the two monkeys woke him up in the evening.

"The owner of the village, the Jinzhai resident sent someone to call for dinner!"

"Actually, we should also take the gift money, Ermonkey, how much money do you have on you?" Luo Balin looked at the second monkey and asked.

"It's definitely enough to give a gift, but if we're like this, won't the owner of the Golden Village have any ideas?" The second monkey was a little worried.

"Any thoughts? Isn't it great that we come to the banquet like ordinary friends, and you just put the money in the manager and say that it is a gift from the stone village. Luo Barin got up and ordered.

"Little one got it!" The second monkey waited for Luo Balin to put on his shoes, and then the two went to the front yard, and the second monkey found the chief steward and gave him the money in his waist, and said: "The one in charge, this is the gift money from the stone village to the owner of the old village, and you count and accept it." ”

The person in charge looked at the appearance of the two monkeys and thought to himself, then take it! So he counted the money, and it was 66 silver dollars in total. Luo Balin watched the steward at the table and accepted the silver dollar, and his heart was much more settled.

After dinner, Luo Balin and the two monkeys went back to the backyard to rest, and they could hear the sound of those Mo Gong chanting in the front yard all night, which also made Luo Balin, who was nearly forty years old, think about life and death for a while, he thought that everyone has to die one day, if he can settle down in life, why bother to earn and rob it, if the golden gong can also understand this truth.

He fell asleep in a daze, but in the second half of the night he was awakened by the sound of iron cannons in the front yard, and he sat up and shouted: "Two monkeys, two monkeys!" ”

Where could the snoring monkey hear his shout, he had to push open the wooden window and look out the window, the east side was already white, it seemed that it was time to get out of the coffin. He immediately got up, shook the two monkeys awake, and said, "Get up quickly, let's go to deliver the coffin with the master of Jinzhai together." ”

"Huh? I have to send the coffin, will this make the owner of Jinzhai feel that we are scolding him! The two monkeys felt that a village owner followed him to deliver the coffin, which was a bit out of place.

"Hey, I'm just thinking about slapping him up! But what you said makes sense, you can get up and give me a ride! The lord of Luo Zhai didn't want the people of Tongluo Village to look down on him, so he asked the two monkeys to go for him.

The second monkey only got up and went to the front yard, came to the golden gong, and said: "The master of the golden village, our owner of the village asked me to send the old master of the village on his behalf, and he also hopes that you can accept his sincerity." ”

"Hey, Lord Luo Zhai is really a good person, I accept it, I accept it!" Jin Tonggong wiped his tears while following Mo Gong in front, followed by the people who carried the coffin, and everyone sent the old village owner all the way to a small hill behind Tongluo Village, and stopped.

"The mourning lord Jin Gong, there is a spirit in the sky, the cave is backed by the mountain, and I am blessed. Fall into the coffin! The man who carried the coffin heard him and put the coffin firmly on the ground, and then Mo Gong instructed the helper, "Start digging the grave from here!" ”
