Chapter 185: The Colorful Coffin (22)
Na Lang Gao is worthy of being a well-known guest, first counted the people present, including You Shusong, a total of 98 people, according to a table of eight people, it takes a little more than 12 tables, and then according to the consumption in this town, a table is about 300.

Na Langgao may have considered the cost, pulled me aside, and said, "Brother Jiu, this meal is estimated to eat your month's salary, otherwise, let's arrange it according to a table of ten people." ”
I thought about it for a while, most of these people present are the older generation, plus they came all the way to support the scene for me, so I naturally can't treat them badly, even if I borrow money, this banquet still has to be held.
At that moment, I said to Lang Gao: "Eight people at a table, this is the rule!" ”
That Lang Gao seemed to want to say something, so I stopped, motioned him to stop talking, and urged him to go to the town early to arrange a banquet, and I arrived later.
He hummed, stopped talking, and led a few of his classmates away.
After Lang Gao left, I first led Jiang Ye and others to go around the Eight Immortals Palace, explained to them the architectural model of the Eight Immortals Palace and their future plans, and told each other about the recent situation after separation, until 7 o'clock, that Lang Gao called me, saying that the banquet had been arranged, and let me lead Jiang Ye and them to go.
The Eight Immortals Palace is about three or four miles away from the town, so you can't walk there! In desperation, I asked Li Jiangang to help hire a few buses and pull us to the town.
When I got in the car, Song Guangliang's son said that there was something at home, so he didn't go to dinner, and asked me to go to his house at 11 o'clock in the evening, saying that it was to discuss the funeral.
In this regard, I didn't keep him, after all, the funeral is very cumbersome, especially as the main family, it is even more busy.
After Song Guangliang's son left, I led Jiang Ye and others directly to the town, and it is worth mentioning that You Shusong and his group and the old man from before also went.
When we came to the town, our group entered the hotel one after the other.
To tell the truth, this hotel is not good, the decoration can only be described in four words, simple to the extreme, twelve tables of banquets will be full of the whole hotel, however, the conditions in the town are like this, Jiang Ye and others did not say anything.
During the meal, I considered that Song Guangliang's funeral would start tomorrow, so I asked Lang Gao to lead some people to buy funeral supplies, and Lang Gao took care of the money first. I also considered the purpose of You Shusong and the others to stay, and I was afraid that he would do something to the deceased, so I asked Li Jiangang to lead the four brothers to Shanghe Village to watch the deceased first.
After arranging all this, Jiang Ye and I chatted while eating, and the whole scene was lively.
This meal was eaten until half past eight in the evening, Shi Liu and others said that there was something to do and they needed to leave first, I politely left a few words, she said that she came to Hubei to do some things, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, and let me consider accepting her son as an apprentice.
As soon as they helped me, I refused her, so I said, "When I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to the Ten Thousand Towers and accept your son as an apprentice." ”
That Shi Liu said a few words of thanks, and led a group of people to leave directly, and he really responded to a sentence and came in a hurry, and went in a hurry.
Subsequently, Lang Gao's classmates proposed to leave one after another, I originally wanted Nanyan to stay, where did I know, Nanyan's words blocked my back road, she said: "Chen Jiu, don't think I don't know what you're thinking about, it's just to make do with me and Lang Gao, let me tell you, I have nothing to do with him." ”
Dropping this sentence, Nanyan left directly, which made me feel sorry for Lang Gao, I thought that this time I could create a chance for Lang Gao, who knew that this would be the result.
After Nanyan and the others left, You Shusong and others also left one after another. In the end, I stayed, I, Jiang Ye, Fan Lao, Zhulin Old Man, Lu Shenyi, Lama, Old Man, You Tianming's master and apprentice, Lu Qiusheng, Yang Yan and Chen Erbei.
I first paid for it from the hotel, which cost a total of nearly 4,000 yuan, then cleaned up the table, let Jiang Ye and others sit at the table, and finally asked the boss to make us a pot of tea.
"Senior brother, are you wondering, why are we all here this time?" Jiang Ye took a sip of the teacup and asked softly.
I snorted, I was very puzzled about Jiang Ye's arrival, when I called, Jiang Ye still couldn't come, why did they all come all at once.
Jiang Ye smiled and explained, "Senior brother! I won't hide it from you, originally a few of us were busy, so we really couldn't spare time, but I heard the news that this funeral was related to the dispute between the north and the south, and a few of us rushed over. ”
Saying that, he paused and continued: "Liuyun Dao Chang and the others didn't know where they heard the news that I would come, so they rushed over, otherwise, with the attitude of Liuyun Dao Chief, how could they appear here. ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood, no wonder the Liuyun Dao Chief would appear here, and when I heard the news that Jiang Ye was coming, I asked him again, "That... How did you end up here together? ”
Jiang Ye smiled, glanced at the lama on the side, and said, "I have to ask Master Yiming about this!" ”
I was stunned in my heart, I remember that Jiang Ye said that Master Yiming would come over because of Cheng Xiaocheng's face, that is, the relationship between Master Ming and Cheng Xiaocheng should be very good.
At this thought, I couldn't help but breathe a little short, so I bent down towards Master Yiming and asked, "Master, I don't know if Cheng Xiaocheng is good in Tibet?" ”
He nodded, folded his hands, and didn't speak!
I asked again, "Can you find a way to rescue Cheng Xiaocheng!" ”
He nodded again, still not speaking.
I'm a little anxious, Cheng Xiaocheng has always been my heart disease, this can't be helped, every man always has some special feelings for his first love, after all, the first love represents those years, and I am ready to ask again.
At this moment, Jiang Ye stopped at me and said, "Senior brother, Master Yiming was traumatized when he was a child and couldn't speak, so I'll say it for the master!" Here's the thing, Master Yiming came to us and told us that there was a way to get Cheng Xiaocheng out of Tibet, and several of us knew about Cheng Xiaocheng's relationship with you, so we would naturally help you. ”
I hummed, thanked Jiang Ye and the others one by one, and motioned for Jiang Ye to continue.
Jiang Ye drank a cup of tea, cleared his throat, and explained: "In less than a month, Cheng Xiaocheng will be able to appear in front of you." ”
When I heard this, I was a little stunned, but I thought that Jiang Ye said the same thing last year, and in the end, I didn't wait for Cheng Xiaocheng, but only waited for a letter, which made me slightly disappointed, so I said: "I'm a little sure!" ”
Jiang Ye smiled, stretched out a finger, shook it, and didn't speak.
"Sure?" I asked, confused.
"No, this time I am very sure, we people will go to Tibet to get Cheng Xiaocheng out for you!"
I thought I had misheard, so I rubbed my ears vigorously and said, "Say it again, you're a little sure!" ”
"Very, Cheng Xiaocheng can appear in front of you next month, if you are lucky, after this funeral, Cheng Xiaocheng can come here." Jiang Ye said with a smile.
"Really?" I'm a little confused.
Made, happiness came so quickly, I didn't know what words to use to express what I felt in my heart, and my limbs trembled inexplicably.
"Of course it's true, otherwise, what are we doing together?" Jiang Ye smiled and said: "Originally, we people were in Changsha and planned to go directly to Tibet from Changsha, but when we heard that something happened to you here, we came over to take a look, and now that the matter is settled, we will go to Tibet early tomorrow morning." ”
I didn't think about it, I immediately stood up and knelt down towards them, and said: "Your great kindness, Xiao Jiu is unforgettable, where Xiao Jiu is needed in the future, open your mouth, even if you are broken, Xiao Jiu will definitely do it for you!" ”
Jiang Ye smiled, stood up, and helped me up, "Senior brother! It's not necessary, a few of us are so helpful to you, I just hope you can do us a small favor. ”
"What do you need Xiao Jiu to do?" I said in a deep voice.
"On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Guangxi will unearth a secondary coffin, a few of us hope that you will help carry the coffin, say in advance, this secondary coffin is no better than other coffins, the evil spirit is extremely heavy, if you are not careful, you had better think about it. Of course, if you don't agree, a few of us will also help you get Cheng Xiaocheng back from Tibet, which can be regarded as a reward for you! ”
Reward?
I didn't understand what Jiang Ye meant, and I only remembered one sentence in my mind, the Double Ninth Festival, the second coffin, could make Cheng Xiaocheng appear in front of me, I didn't think about it, and immediately agreed, "Okay, Double Ninth Festival, I will definitely appear in Guangxi." ”
Jiang Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's okay, you can handle this funeral with peace of mind, before the Double Ninth Festival, I will give you the specific address, that's it for today, we are in a hurry to go to Tibet, it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time." ”
After speaking, Jiang Ye asked Doctor Lu and them a few words, roughly asking them if they had anything to say to me.
The words they said to me were very simple, they were all words of encouragement, so that I must stick to my heart, as for the old man of the bamboo forest, he kept smiling and watching from beginning to end, and he didn't speak.
Several times I tried to talk to him, but he just nodded or shook his head at me, and didn't speak.
Afterwards, Jiang Ye and the others stood up and said that they were leaving.
I got up and sent them to the door, ready to call them a car to take them to Changsha. Who knows, Jiang Ye directly said that they had a way to rush from Hubei to Changsha within an hour.
This makes me even puzzled, it takes at least three hours to get from here to Changsha, and the airport is quite far from here, and it will definitely not take an hour.
Jiang Ye seemed to see through my doubts and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks. ”
To be honest, even now, I still can't understand how Jiang Ye and they rushed to Changsha in an hour.
After Jiang Ye and the others left, You Tianming's master and apprentice said that there was something to do and they needed to go back first.
They are locals, and I didn't keep them, so I asked You Tianming to lead his You family class to Shanghe Village tomorrow, and You Tianming nodded, didn't speak, and walked straight to the door.
As soon as they left, the scene that was originally quite lively left only me, Lu Qiusheng, the old man, Yang Yan and Chen Erbei.
I knew that Lu Qiusheng and the old man stayed, and there must be something to discuss, so I asked the old man first, and the old man smiled: "This is not the place to talk, when you finish dealing with the matter at hand, we will find a quiet place to talk in detail." ”
I hummed and asked Lu Qiusheng if there was something wrong.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, I have a total of two things this time, one is to come over to help you support the scene, and the other is to tell you that Guo Fatzi is dying." ”
"What? What happened to Guo Fatzi? Didn't he start a company with you? How so? I grabbed him by the arm and asked him three questions in a row. (To be continued.) )
