"Clean up the hall first, and then call your mother and your sister." I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was nine o'clock, and it was already an hour before the auspicious time.

Wang Xi nodded, said a good word, and turned to leave.

Soon, he called his mother and Wang Chuyao over, and the three of them cleaned up the inside and outside of the hall, and prepared to start the funeral.

When they came, I was afraid that one person would not be able to do it alone, so I asked Wang Xi to call three people in the village to help.

Later, I arranged the hall room, and Wang Xi asked me to make a small paper figure and put it in the coffin, I said, the little paper figure can only be made once, and it cannot be repeated, so I put the wet paper figure into the coffin again.

Get these things ready, I'm ready to start the funeral, this wax tree village is much better than our village, some gongs, suona, are all self-prepared, just put in the cabinet under the altar of the hall.

I got these things out, hung the gong on the leg of the table of the Eight Immortals, and then tied the drum to the side of the table of the Eight Immortals, because of the problem of manpower, I did it alone, and the most depressing thing was that in addition to beating these, I also needed to recite the scriptures, so to speak, I was the one who did this funeral.

After getting all the things needed for the funeral, I struck the gong, and strangely enough, after the first gong, the atmosphere in the hall did not change at all, not even the breeze.

I didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, so I had to bite the bullet and carry on with the funeral.

The funeral went very smoothly, and until it was time for lunch, there was no disturbance at all.

During this period, Wang Cheng came back, and he told me that Wang Dahua could only be bald in his life, and I didn't ask him in detail, so I let him mix in the funeral.

It is worth mentioning that when it was close to lunch, Wang Chengcai's second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth sisters all came, carrying some wreaths and ceremonial flowers, and their attitude towards me also changed greatly.

Lunch is relatively simple. After the meal, we did not rest, and continued to be busy with the funeral, to be honest, the funeral of this well-dressed mound is similar to an ordinary funeral, it is all those etiquette, the only difference is that after the coffin is sealed.

The funeral went unusually well, until four o'clock in the afternoon, when the incident broke again. Even now, I still remember clearly that it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the funeral progressed to the dojo, and I asked the people in the village to beat gongs and drums, and I wore colorful Taoist robes and led them around the dojo.

While reciting the scriptures, I waved the mourning stick in my hand, spinning, turning, my feet were a little weak, and I was ready to finish the dojo faster, and my pace couldn't help but be a little faster.

At this moment, my mobile phone rang, I took out my mobile phone and saw that it was Qing Xuanzi's phone, I pressed the answer button, Qing Xuanzi's voice came, he said: "Chen Baxian, 24 hours have passed, I finally advise you, hurry back to the train." ”

"I've made up my mind, don't persuade the Taoist to persuade me anymore, just ask you not to tell Guo Fat and stammering about the situation here." I put down the mourning stick in my hand and stopped at the villagers who were beating the gongs and drums, and motioned for them to stop the mourning for a while.

"Stubborn, you are a coffin bearer, you have to be mixed in, do you know the power of 'Grandma Fjo', to put it bluntly, it is a god in the sky, once you come to life, do you think you can bear it?" Qing Xuanzi's tone was very stern.

"Those are just legends, although some things can't be explained, but, I believe in a word, as long as there is filial piety, God will definitely treat them fairly, then Wang Xi's father and son are so filial, I don't believe God will punish them." I found a corner where no one was around, said.

"Chen Baxian, you... You... You will pay for your stubbornness. "That Qing Xuanzi was not lightly angry.

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Dao Chief, Wang Xi's father and son are such filial people, if I don't care, who will pay attention to them anymore?" Do you want father and son to die of the plague? In this way, filial piety and unfilial piety, the results are the same, just ask, in the world, who will practice filial piety again? Who will weigh people with filial piety? If this Wang Xi father and son are not people of great filial piety, I, Chen Jiu, don't need your reminder, I will definitely leave, after all, I cherish life. However, in this situation, if I leave, I am sorry for my conscience, sorry for the coffin bearer, and even more sorry for the word 'filial piety'. ”

To be honest, I have some opinions about Qing Xuanzi leaving, but, considering that this is his personal will, he can't force it, if he uses morality to bind him and let him stay, this is not my style of life.

The other end of the phone was stunned for a long time, and he didn't speak, and after about a minute, he said: "Chen Baxian, knowing you is the thing I regret the most in my life." ”

I didn't react at once, so I asked him what he meant, and he didn't speak, so I hung up the phone.

Hung up the phone, I didn't think about it so much, I was ready to continue the funeral, where did I know, a figure appeared in front of me, it was Wang Xi, he looked very flustered, and said, "Brother Jiu, it's not good." ”

"What's going on?" I hurriedly asked.

He said: "I stopped the funeral just now, my mother took advantage of this gap to go and feed the chickens, usually the chickens we raise are wandering around the bamboo garden, my mother brought some rice, and I saw that all the bamboo in the bamboo garden withered, and more than 20 chickens in my family also died there." ”

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but think of the plague that Qing Xuanzi said, and without thinking about it, I ran towards the bamboo garden, I was afraid that there would be a plague, so I found some plastic bags at his house and tied them to my hands, and got a pair of masks to wear.

Then Wang Xi said that he wanted to go with me, but I stopped him, so I said, "You go to the hall and stay, the dojo cannot continue, just kneel in front of the coffin as a family, and remember that you must keep burning yellow paper during this period, so as not to spoil the etiquette." ”

He was stunned for a moment, and wanted to go to the bamboo garden with me, so I had to take out the killer weapon and say, "If the hall lacks your own grandson, it will be a big rebellion, and your grandmother will die blindly." ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, he didn't say anything more, so he told me to be careful, and went back to the hall.

Looking at his back, I smiled bitterly and went straight to the bamboo garden, with only one thought in my mind, I must not let this situation spread.

When I came to the bamboo garden, I was stunned by the scene in front of me, only to see that the bamboos in the bamboo garden were hanging there like beaten eggplants, the bamboo poles and bamboo leaves were the kind of withered yellow [color], and there were some chicken carcasses lying on the ground.

The carcass of the chicken, a little strange, as if they had suffered great pain before their death, their claws were clenched very tightly, and the wings of the chicken were fluttering, somewhat similar to the previous Fei'ezi.
