122.Chapter 122
I asked Liu Ji to get a phone number, and he said that the owner of this number is called Chen Daosheng, who is the most famous Eight Immortals in Liuyang Town, and he will appear in large and small funerals in Liuyang Town.
I couldn't laugh or cry because this man was what I called. However, in terms of personality, it is very different, at least I can't do that lack of morality, but, forced by his land, this call still has to be made.
I took out my phone and called him, and it rang for a long time, and an impatient voice said, "Who?" ”
I hurriedly, "Hello, I am the Eight Immortals of Dongxing Town, invited by Director Liu Ji, to come to Lotus Village, Liuyang Town, to handle the funeral of Liu Jianping's family of three, and I will pay a visit to the pier with you, I don't know what you think?" ”
The main reason why I was so polite to him was because I crossed the line and tried to be as polite as possible in terms of tone.
I was a little stunned, and asked Lao Wang suspiciously, "What does he mean?" ”
Lao Wang calmed his face and said, "His meaning is obvious, he just doesn't want us to get involved in this matter, Jiu Yanzi, let's go!" It's not good to break the rules! ”
If it was an ordinary funeral, I might have listened to Lao Wang's words and walked away, and let them handle the funeral. But the problem now is that this is not an ordinary funeral at all, and more importantly, it involves Cheng Xiaocheng.
"I want to stay and finish this funeral." I told Lao Wang my determination.
"We can't fight Chen Papi them, this is their land, I also discussed with Lao Wang for a while, we can't do this funeral, once we do it, we will completely fall out with the eight immortals of Liuyang Town." Lao Wang's words are very right, it is unknown whether we can get out of Liuyang Town. The tall guy interjected.
That Liu Ji has been standing by and listening, when he heard the words of the high guy, he took out the pistol, raised it in his hand, and said: "What do you have to be noisy about, Lao Tzu invited you to come to the funeral, he Chen Papi dared to make trouble, Lao Tzu shot him." As he spoke, he made a gesture of shooting.
"Director Liu, we really can't help this funeral..."Before Lao Wang's words were finished, Liu Ji stopped and said: "You Eight Immortals, how can I not know, Heng Balcony has reported a few times, it is placed in other places, in Liuyang Town, I Liu Ji has the final say." ”
After speaking, Liu Ji looked at me and asked, "Chen Baxian, I will help you solve other things, you give a word, do this funeral or not." ”
"Nine Boys"
"Chen Baxian"
Lao Wang's voice sounded at the same time, I hesitated for a while, and said, ", Chen Papi they don't want to take it, so I just intervened, it's not a business robbery, and we don't have a crooked reason." It's a big deal, when the coffin is carried, give them a few places. Can't they not do the funeral, everyone is not allowed to do? Is it possible to let the deceased lie in the mourning hall for the rest of his life? ”
After hearing this, Liu Ji slapped a palm on my shoulder, and said with a smile: "Boy, I admire you very much, this Lang Gao's recommended candidate is really right, I thought in advance that your kid was timid and scared, and he would run away!" ”
When Lao Wang and the two of them saw that I agreed, they shook their heads with a wry smile, and didn't say anything, I walked up to them, gave each of them a cigarette, and said, "Lao Wang, Gao Lao, I know that you two think that we are crooked, and think that I can't take over this funeral." But I have my own bottom line as a person, that Chen Papi they were afraid of carrying the corpse, so that the mourning hall was empty for a day and a half, and almost killed the villagers of Lotus Village, if they really let them do this funeral, I am afraid that there will be a lot of strange things, let's be the eight immortals, we can't stick to the rules, why should we be worthy of the dead! ”
After saying this, I glanced at the two of them and continued, "Do you two go back to Dongxing Town or stay here to help?" No matter how you choose, you are all my Chen Jiu's elders. ”
The two of them looked stunned, Lao Wang lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, exchanged a look with the senior guy, and said: "Just do it, anyway, it's an old bone, and the skin is thick, it's not bad!" ”
Afterwards, a few of us casually talked a few words, waved away the unhappiness in our hearts, and put all our minds on this funeral.
After about seven or eight minutes, we cleaned the mourning hall with a broom and rinsed it again with warm water to make the mourning hall as clean as new.
Then, we went to move the bodies of Liu Jianping and his wife, as for the body of the little girl, it had been carried away by Guo Fatzi and the three of them, and I didn't have any interest in knowing where to bury it. After all, the corpse of a child is generally not taken seriously, as long as it is buried, burn some yellow paper, candle ingots.
After moving the bodies of Liu Jianping and his wife, several villagers came to Lotus Village to help, one of whom was the village chief, and expressed their gratitude to us, and then they were also busy in the mourning hall.
After being busy for a while, some preparations were almost done, and I sprinkled some charcoal ash on the bottom of the two coffins, with the aim of allowing it to absorb the grievances of the deceased, which had a better effect than firewood ash, and was generally used in the coffins of people who died in vain.
Then, I sprinkled some yellow paper on it, adding up to 108 sheets, and then spread a golden quilt on top of the yellow paper, and then put the body of Liu Jianping's wife in the coffin on the right.
Liu Jianping's corpse was a little troublesome, so I asked Lao Wang and them to take a hand, first lift his body in, and then put his limbs on the corpse according to their original appearance. I also re-combed the intestines in his abdomen, stuffed them into his stomach again, and tore off the white cloth tied around his neck, for fear of breaking his head, I asked Lao Wang and them to hold the deceased's head with their hands all the time, for fear that he would break it.
After putting the body of the deceased in the coffin, it seemed very simple, but in fact I was tired to death, and after doing this, I was already sweating profusely, and those sweats seeped into my wounds, and my whole body was painful and itchy. However, in order to make the funeral go smoothly, I gritted my teeth and persevered.
As soon as I finished the funeral, Lao Wang glanced at me worriedly and said: "Jiu Yanzi, this Liu Jianping's family died so miserably, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do the Taoist things that will be waiting for the meeting, you are injured, let me and the senior guy do it, you are shouting on the side, do you think it will work?" ”
I shook my head and said, "This person who died in vain, I'm afraid you can't do it, if you are not careful, you will fall into the way of the dead, when something happens to you, why should I go back and explain to Aunt Wang?" If you don't have enough manpower, you ask the villagers of Lotus Village to help, dig two tombs before five o'clock in the afternoon, and I'll give them two days' wages, as for the eight immortals who carry the coffin, let's discuss it again when we eat at noon. ”
