Hearing the sound, I turned my head to look at the place where the sound came from, and there was a man who looked like a beggar standing at the door, unkempt, and a strange smell emanating from his body, which made people smell and couldn't help pinching his nose.

However, after seeing the man's face clearly, I was stunned, that beggar-like man was actually Lang Gao, how could he become like this?

"How did you end up like this?" I walked up to him, looked at him, and wondered.

He glared at me and said, "It's not your kid who caused me, I think I'm the head of a family, and I will be reduced here." ”

"What's going on?" I asked.

He stopped, "Don't mention this question again, just talk about the funeral, you just said Miss Su's 40,000 yuan?" ”

I nodded and asked him for his opinion.

He said: "40,000 is definitely not enough, it must be more than 100,000 to have a good funeral." ”

I was stunned for a moment, so I said: "An ordinary funeral is only about 10,000, which has quadrupled on the basis of ordinary funerals, and the funeral scene should be very large, less than 100,000, right?" ”

He shook his head and said: "Miss Su's funeral can't be done according to the standards of ordinary funerals, there are more things needed, just take the coffin as an example, her body must be protected by a high-grade sandalwood coffin, and the sandalwood coffin needs to be only available in Liuzhou, and the freight and coffin cost in the middle are about 80,000 yuan." ”

"Why go to Liuzhou?" I wondered.

He glared at me and said, "I don't know if your father is a carpenter." We have a very popular saying in China, eat in Guangzhou, wear in Suzhou, play in Hangzhou, be born in Yangzhou, die in Liuzhou, Zhenzong's good coffin is only available in Liuzhou, so Miss Su's coffin must be bought in Liuzhou. ”

"Liuzhou? Which province? "I have a very poor knowledge of geography.

"Guangxi." Chen Tiannan interjected a sentence on the side.

Na Lang Gao nodded, saw the lunch box I had in hand, I don't know if I was very hungry, or what's going on, I grabbed the box lunch, and didn't care that I was eating, so he devoured it, and while eating, he said: "Chen Jiu, the sandalwood coffin, if it sinks into the water, it is immortal when it enters the soil, the fragrance is like a cypress, the color is like bronze, it is still unknown whether 80,000 can be bought, you better prepare more money." ”

Listening to his words, I was stunned for a moment, why is this Lang Gao so proficient in coffins? I remember that he was also the identity of the Zhike.

He seemed to see my doubts, so he said, "Don't look at me with such eyes, it was Qing Xuanzi who told me, and he said that Miss Su's body must be made of sandalwood coffin." ”

It's Qing Xuanzi again, since he cares so much about this funeral, why did he choose to leave at this time, and more importantly, when he left, even his degree plate forgot to take it, and the brand for his master is also with me.

"Did he say anything?" I suppressed the doubts in my heart and asked in a deep voice.

"Having said that, he beckoned me and asked you not to go to Liuzhou, saying that you are unlucky and you can't go to the northwest, then Liuzhou belongs to the southwest, and it is not good for you to take the west side. The candidate to buy the coffin, it is best to let Chen Tiannan go, one is that the kid is rich, and the other is that the kid has a hard life, and he can break in the southeast and northwest casually. ”

After speaking, he seemed to see the lunch box in Wang Chuyao's hand, so he said, "This little girl, you... Are you hungry? ”

That Wang Chuyao shook his head, didn't speak, handed him the lunch box, and said, "Is it enough, not enough, I'll buy it for you." ”

"Okay, buy another one, no, buy three more." He took Wang Chuyao's lunch box and said such a sentence. It was his amount of food this time that Chen Tiannan gave him a nickname, five buckets, which means eating five buckets of rice. Later, Lang Gao said that the five barrels are not good, it is the meaning of the rice bucket, and in desperation, Chen Tiannan called a homonym, replaced the barrel with a cylinder, called the five cylinders, and over time, Lang Gao's name was replaced by the five cylinders.

After Wang Chuyao left, in less than three minutes, Lang Gao finished the box of lunch, and asked me for a cigarette with a look of unfinished business, saying, "Chen Jiu!" Brother suffered this time, he has never suffered like this in his life! Made, I haven't eaten for a few days, but I'm starving. ”

I apologized to him, and was about to speak, but he stopped and said, "Don't apologize, this is the path I have chosen, even if I go down on my knees, I won't even frown, so be it!" Miss Su's funeral, I will be a guest, you will pay the salary, first say yes, the meal must be full, and you have to change my clothes. ”

I smiled bitterly, he was probably hungry. Actually, I really want to ask him how he has spent the past few days, but seeing his current appearance, I guess even if I ask, he won't say. It wasn't until after a funeral that he got drunk and told me that he had stayed at the door for a few days without eating or drinking, and that he did not dare to go out of the Ten Thousand Towers or enter the Ten Thousand Towers, so he was guarding the door, and I asked him why he didn't go out or come in. He said that there were Gu worms on the way out, he didn't dare, he walked in, and he was afraid that the old witch would make trouble, and more importantly, he was afraid that walking in would bring me a burden, so he simply stayed at the door, until I asked the middle-aged man to pick him up, he didn't dare to walk in, this is Lang Gao.

At that moment, I nodded at him and said, "I can't ask for you as a guest." ”

He smiled, asked for another cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "Chen Jiu, the coffin will be handled by Chen Tiannan, and I will take care of the rest of the chores for you, and you can concentrate on the funeral." Oh, by the way, Qing Xuanzi let me tell you that the 10,000 towers belong to Xiangxi, and there is an unwritten rule in Xiangxi, outsiders are not allowed to occupy the land of Xiangxi, so I am afraid that Miss Su's funeral cannot be done here, either pull back to Hengyang, or go out of Xiangxi. ”

Listening to his words, I was stunned for a long time, I thought about pulling Mengke's body back to Hengyang, but for various reasons, I denied it, and now Lang Gao said the regulations in Xiangxi, which makes me a little difficult, if I don't do a funeral here, where can I do it? Even if her body is pulled back to Hengyang and she can't enter the hall, it is still equivalent to holding a funeral outside.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Na Lang Gao smiled and continued: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, I have an idea for you. This Ten Thousand Pagoda is a special existence in Xiangxi, and many of the rules in Xiangxi are not suitable here, so you can go to the villagers of Ten Thousand Towers, as long as they agree, Miss Su's funeral can be done in this tent. However, the land for burial, I'm afraid you need to buy it from the Ten Thousand Towers, which is a lot of money, and you'd better think about it carefully. ”

I snorted, these 10,000 towers are very remote, and the land should be cheap, a few thousand yuan is enough, so I asked Lang Gao: "In your opinion, how much does Mengke's funeral cost to be decent?" ”

He stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of me and said, "Three hundred thousand!" ”
