Chen Tiannan smiled and said, "Guess." ”

Rub, it's all at this time, where am I in the mood to joke with him, glared at him, and said, "Hurry up, don't ink." ”

He touched the back of his head and said, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

"Ten Thousand Towers?" I was stunned for a moment, so I asked him to make his words clearer, he smiled and said, "When I was in Hengyang, that person told me that there was a sandalwood coffin in the Shijia firewood room of the Ten Thousand Towers. ”

As soon as I heard this, I exclaimed, the Shi family's firewood room? I had been to that place, and there was no coffin, so I asked him, "Are you sure the man said so?" ”

He nodded, "That's exactly what the man said. ”

I was slightly stunned, turned my head to look at Lang Gao, and asked him: "Director Lang, you have also been to the Shijia firewood room, have you ever seen a coffin?" ”

He thought for a moment, shook his head, nodded again, and said, "The innermost part of the firewood room is too dark to see clearly, maybe there is a coffin, maybe there is none." ”

Hearing him say this, I thought about it, when I went to the Shijia firewood room, it was me, Lang Gao and Joyce, when I went to the innermost, I didn't know what was going on, I fainted inexplicably, and in a trance, I seemed to see the person who looked exactly like me. After waking up, I appeared at Su's house, and Su Mengke's body was lying next to me.

Thinking of this, I was stunned, that person appeared in the Shijia firewood room, did he put the coffin there?

Without any hesitation, I asked Lang Gao to start arranging the details of the funeral, and I was going to go to Shi's house.

Before going out, Na Lang Gao stopped me and asked me to take Chen Tiannan, saying that something was wrong, and someone would take care of it, and asked me to discuss Su Mengke's funeral with the villagers of Wanta by the way.

I knew what he meant, and I accepted it one by one, and led Chen Tiannan to prepare to leave, where did I know, that Wang Chuyao stopped in front of us and said, "Brother Jiu, I also want to go." ”

"No way!" I rejected her proposal and led Chen Tiannan out of the door, and Wang Chuyao followed, and wanted to go with us.

In desperation, we had to take her and go straight to Shi's house.

Since the tent was some distance from the Ten Thousand Towers, it took us half an hour to come to the square of the Ten Thousand Towers, where many people began to clean up the debris of the square, as for the old witch's body and those heads, they were gone, presumably put away by Su Xiaolin, I didn't think much about it, and walked directly towards the Shi family's firewood room.

When I came to Shi's house, I first told Shi Liu about the situation, and then asked her to go to the firewood room to see, I thought she would say a bit of excuses, but she directly agreed and personally led us to the firewood room.

When I didn't come to the firewood room again, I didn't know what was going on, the firewood room gave me a very ordinary feeling, pushed the door in, the scene in the firewood room was still like that, some messy groceries were placed in front, and the innermost position was still pitch black, I asked Shi Liu, why is the innermost part of the firewood room so dark.

She smiled wryly and told me that there was a film hanging in the middle of the firewood room, and that the film was covered with black ink. I asked him why, and she said that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a custom in the Ten Thousand Towers that the deceased would be placed in the firewood room, and on July 15 every year, the deceased would be invited out to burn yellow paper and sacrifice to the heavens, which meant to thank the deceased for his fertility.

However, usually when the firewood room goes in, there must be a lot of inconvenience when a corpse is placed there, so a layer of film is hung in the middle, similar to the screen in Guangzhou, to isolate something. (Note: In Guangzhou in the 78s, a screen wall would be placed at the entrance position, and even now, many people still have this habit.) ）

After listening to her explanation, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, I had always thought that this firewood room was strange, and it was a very thin screen for a long time.

At that moment, I turned on the lamp in the firewood room, walked to the dark position, reached out and touched it, the feeling of starting was very thin and thin, so thin that it was easy to ignore the screen, and I reached out to lift the screen, and found that the innermost position, although it was still a little dark, but it was definitely not as dark as the first time I came in, and I could vaguely see a trace of light.

By that ray of light, I saw a black coffin near the left, the coffin was a little bigger, larger than the coffin I usually see, the front of the coffin, with golden cinnabar painted a picture, Dingqing looked, the picture of the eight immortals across the sea was painted on it, four words were engraved on each side of the left side, Penglai Tianwu, driving the crane to the west, and the coffin lid was written with a longevity word. (Note: The deceased is under the age of 60, and the coffin lid is written on the birthday, which means that the deceased will bring longevity to future generations, and the deceased has passed the 60th birthday, and the coffin lid is written with blessings, which means to bring blessings to future generations.) ）

Seeing the coffin, I was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, when Shi Liu said, "Chen Jiu, you don't want this coffin, do you?" ”

I was slightly stunned, did not answer her question directly, but walked towards the coffin, stretched out my hand to probe, and smelled again, the texture of this coffin is very good, there is a very light fragrance, it should be a sandalwood coffin, so I said to her: "Mrs. Shi, I want this coffin, can you see it?" ”

She looked at me for a while, and said suspiciously, "To Su Mengke?" ”

I nodded, "Her corpse is a little special, and she needs a sandalwood coffin, can you always cut her love?" ”

She hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Chen Jiu, I won't talk to you either, I paid a lot of money for this coffin, I bought it from Liuzhou, it was originally prepared for my youngest son, you know, he is not in good health, so he is prepared." So... The price of this coffin may be high, and there is another point that you should know as the Eight Immortals that coffins are generally not easily resold. ”

I understand what she means, generally self-prepared coffins will not be easily resold, unless they meet a better coffin, the original coffin will be resold, she is telling me that the price of this coffin is very expensive.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "You make an offer." ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand!" She said.

"Can it be cheaper?" I say.

"Can't be cheap, you should know that sandalwood coffins are more cost-effective and have strong resistance to decay, just take the Nahe burial tomb unearthed in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province in 87, the same model of tombs, just because one of them used a sandalwood coffin, the body was very intact during the excavation, and the other body only survived the bones." As she spoke, she looked at the coffin, then at me, and continued: "I spent 128,000 on this coffin, and according to custom, if I sell this coffin to you, I have to prepare a better one for my son. ”

To be honest, I know the truth she said, and I also know that fifteen is not expensive, but I only have 148,000 now, if I use this money to buy a coffin, what will Mengke's funeral do?
