16.Chapter 16
Seeing me coming, the two groups stopped fighting, the three brothers of the main family smiled awkwardly, and the main family said: "Chen Baxian, why are you here, the three of us brothers can solve this matter." ”
After six days of getting along, the three brothers of the main family have also changed their name to me, from the previous you, to you, which makes me feel useful, who doesn't want to be respected?
I glanced at the middle-aged man, who was dressed in an old uniform, with a somewhat thin body, a long thin face with a thick beard, and a sickly paleness.
Before I could speak, the middle-aged man stepped forward and pushed me, saying, "It's you kid who robbed us of our business, right?" ”
I thought to myself, this middle-aged man should be the fake immortal of Li Village, right? If we make trouble here, it is not a solution, and we have few eight immortals, and if we really make trouble with the people of this village, we will definitely suffer the loss.
I took a few steps back, did not pay attention to him, but looked at the master's house and said, "Go and prepare the bedding of the children and grandchildren, eight taels of rice, and three o'clock sealing the coffin." ”
"Okay." The main family nodded, echoed a word, and was about to leave, Li Jianmin and Li Jianguo glanced at each other, and followed the footsteps of the main family, and also left.
I was about to leave, but the middle-aged man put his body in front of me, pushed me again, and said, "You kid is looking for death?" How dare you ignore me. ”
"What do you want?" I glanced at him and said lightly.
"Since the establishment of the village, our Li Village is a big village, there are enough laborers, and no outsiders have been invited to carry the coffin, you had better give the job of carrying the coffin to the people of this village, otherwise, you don't want to carry the coffin out of the hall." The middle-aged man sneered and continued: "You can not believe my words, at three o'clock, you can try it!" ”
"This matter, you discuss it with the master's family, it's useless to make noise with me?" I said lightly, I didn't put his threat on my body, I had heard about Li Cun's barbarism a long time ago, and now when I see it, the rumors are really true.
"Those three cowards have agreed, and now it's up to you to nod!" The middle-aged man smiled proudly and said to me in a provocative tone: "I don't agree, in a word!" Agree, we Li Village will recognize you as a person, if you don't agree, stop the coffin here, and no one will want to carry it! ”
"Really?" I don't believe his words at all, I have clearly felt the temperament of the three brothers of the main family these days, and they are not like the kind of fickle villain.
Seeing that I didn't believe it, the middle-aged man yelled outside the hall, "Li Hazi, you seven come in!" People from other villages want to steal business. ”
He not only called seven people with this voice, but also alarmed the eight immortals and a group of relatives, the whole scene became a little chaotic, the most taboo thing about the funeral is noisy, but, almost every funeral in the countryside will have noise, as for the reason, most of them are the same, nothing more than some inconsiderate etiquette, heavy etiquette, and the selection of people who carry the coffin.
As the bearer of the funeral, I definitely didn't want the Eight Immortals to quarrel with the fake immortals in Li Village, so I had to take a step back, let them stop the noise, and said to the middle-aged man, "Are you sure you carry it?" ”
They all nodded in unison and said, "You have to carry it for us!" ”
"Okay, I'll carry it for you!" I agreed to their request, and what Lao Wang and the other Eight Immortals wanted to say, I stopped and said, "Just let them carry it, I have a sense of proportion!" ”
A quarrel subsided in this way, and the three brothers of the main family came to me and asked, "If you really carry them, what should they do?" ”
I told them not to get involved in this matter, just do a good job of sealing the coffin and funeral things, they didn't say anything more, so let's not make too much trouble, otherwise they will be difficult to behave.
What he said, I know very well in my heart, that is, tell me that the grievances between the eight immortals and the fake immortals should not be related to the main family, they are from the same village, they don't see each other when they look up, and we are invited by them, the two groups of people really want to make trouble, they must be difficult to do, they can't help anywhere, if they help us, they will offend the fake immortals in our village, and if they help the fake immortals, they will offend our eight immortals, so he will make it clear to me, and I believe he will also make it clear to the fake immortals in Li Village.
The Eight Immortals understood that the coffin was difficult to lift this time, and they were a little ashamed of the attitude of the main family, saying that the main family was not responsible, so I comforted them a few words, added a hundred yuan to each of them, and asked them to wait for my news outside the village.
In the countryside, some men still reason with you, those women don't care whether they are reasonable or not, they are caught and scolded, and some women who are splashed to the extreme will reach out and touch their lower body a few times, and then slap in the man's face, in their words, this beating is the most vicious, although there is no basis, but in the countryside, the man is most afraid of this action, so I will let Lao Wang invite Widow Liu.
After entertaining all this, I found a place at the head of the coffin and sat down, my eyes slightly closed, waiting for the coffin to be sealed at three o'clock in the morning.
I don't know how long I slept, but I felt my body shaken, "Chen Baxian, it's almost time, wake up!" ”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the three brothers of the main family and Lao Wang standing in front of me, and when I woke up, Lao Wang spoke first, "Nine people, people brought it, and they also called more than a dozen eight immortals!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of his words, so I asked, "Why are you bringing so many people?" ”
Lao Wang smiled and said, "The Eight Immortals were not convinced when they heard that we were robbed of business in Li Village, and they all came to give us grandeur!" ”
"Foolish, we are doing funerals and carrying coffins for the Lord's family, not fighting, why do you call so many people? Fight? Majestic? Hurry up and let them go back, I'll take care of this!" "I'm angry at Lao Wang, they are making such a fuss, what do the fake immortals in Li Village think? There is no doubt that we must have thought that so many of us Eight Immortals came to fight.
"They want to come by themselves, and I can't help it!" Lao Wang muttered on the side.
"Let them go, whatever you do, let them go! We can't be crooked, otherwise when we get to the police station, we will also be at a loss, waiting for the squatting number? I stood up and scolded the old king.
"Yes, yes, yes, if you fight, if you go to the police station, everyone's face will not look good!" The three brothers of the main family were on the sidelines to meet my words.
"Then if there is a fight, we Eight Immortals will just you and me, and we won't let them beat them to death!" Lao Wang looked at me unconvinced.
"Since we have chosen the industry of the Eight Immortals, what do we have to do by beating up? Even if he was really beaten by the people of Li Village, would the main family watch it? Hurry up, invite them away, remember one thing, if we fight in Li Village, we will be at a loss! "When I said the word Li Village, I glanced at Lao Wang, and the meaning was obvious, don't let them stay in the village, just stay outside the village, once the fight starts, it will be too late for them to come over to help.
In this way, even if we get to the police station, we will take care of it, why? The first sentence of the police station is usually to ask, who will do it first? There are just two of us, and the discerning person knows at a glance that it must not be us.
