Chapter 176: A Strange Tale of a Snowy Night

A burst of firecrackers crackled, and the electric light and sound were heard far away in the snowy night. The faint and constant sound of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was deafening, and I saw that the snowflakes flying in front of the steps were blown away. It snowed again in the sky, and the people standing in front of the steps of the twenty-ninth master's house all felt the cold of this winter night.

The crying in the room was even louder, because everyone saw that after Tang Batian finished a few words, the twenty-ninth master on the bed really gradually stopped moving. Although everyone felt weird, through the figures of several people, they saw that his eyes were wide open, his flat nose was open, and the old mouth that was completely attached to his mouth was half-open, and his hands were slightly raised but no longer moved.

Everyone faintly felt something, but the relatives were in mixed moods, not only reluctant to let go of the twenty-ninth master, but also worried about the excessive torture he had suffered these days. Seeing that he finally didn't react on the bed, he couldn't help but look at Tang Batian, and then looked at Tang Yuxian, who knew medicine. I was extremely apprehensive, but no one dared to take the lead in affirming.

Tang Yuxian thought that he had guessed something, he was a barefoot doctor, and he still had some eyesight. I knew that my father was completely different from the beginning, but looking at Tang Batian, who was standing there and not moving, his body was constantly trembling slightly, and it was not good to go to the bedside immediately to confirm it.

The four of them were still standing next to the bed, Tang Zhijing was still knocking on the wooden basin with a bull's ear sharp knife, Tang Husheng and Tang Yuewen were expressionless. Tang Batian turned his head slowly, and saw that the hands of the twenty-ninth master finally fell on the bed slowly, although a pair of terrifying eyes were even more round, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew that he went to Orchid Bay in the afternoon and got the things that Luo Ran pointed out, and now it seems that they are really useful. has been friends with Luo Ran for nearly 20 years, and naturally has enough trust in Luo Ran. Thinking of what Luo Ran said, I couldn't help but feel more determined in my heart.

Although he didn't say anything, Tang Batian stepped back half a step at his feet, turned sideways and shouted outward: "The twenty-ninth master is relieved and returned to heaven, fire a cannon and burn paper money to send to the masters!" ”

Suddenly hearing Tang Batian's voice, the people in the room were stunned for a moment, and after making sure that they heard it clearly, Tang Yuxian couldn't help but grab the side of the bed anymore, and regardless of the unpleasant smell on the bed, he grabbed his father's hand. I only felt that the skinny hand was already a little cold. With a trembling disbelief in his heart, he reached out and smacked open his already round eyes.

When Tang Yuxian's body trembled and saw that the frightened pupils had completely dilated, he couldn't help crying loudly anymore: "Daddy! A big man grabbed his father's hand tightly, but he was already trembling with tears pouring down his body.

The people in the room suddenly understood, and everyone rushed to the bedside crying and shouting.

When Tang Batian saw that the black was pressing a room of people, they all took the initiative to retreat to the door, allowing these relatives to get closer. Tang Husheng and Tang Yuewen put down the wooden basin, but Tang Zhijing still put the ox ear sharp knife on the wooden basin, Tang Batian was noncommittal, and several people retreated to the outhouse in turn. When the people outside heard this movement, they saw that these relatives of the twenty-ninth master had already cried together, and they all had some sighs in their hearts.

After torturing the twenty-ninth master for a few days of pain, his relatives naturally couldn't cut off his last journey with their own hands. Even if he was suffering greatly, under the circumstances at that time, everyone could only watch. Tang Batian brought a message that could not be spoken, as most of the relatives, he was naturally able to accept it, and he also hoped that the twenty-ninth master would be able to avoid this pain.

Finally, in a small ceremony in front of everyone's eyes, and a few words that sounded very normal, the dust finally settled. No matter what the outcome is, the affection of relatives is inseparable. Even if the twenty-ninth master is suffering greatly, his relatives are still reluctant. Now that I finally saw that the twenty-ninth master was relieved, this emotion that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out irrepressibly.

The old people in the outhouse were silent, they seemed to be a little more solemn, looking at the expressions of Tang Batian and several people, they suddenly felt a little admiration and fear. The young man on the side didn't seem to have woken up yet, and when he saw this dramatic scene and the inexplicable ritual, he seemed to be a little unconvinced by his eyes.

But that's the simple end of it!

Zhuo Yi and Niu Chishui burned paper vigorously outside, and the fire of the paper money burned brightly outside. Although there is also smoke, looking at the flying paper money, it is really like a flying copper coin, turning into flying ash and disappearing into the air, or on the snow.

Under the influence of some of the guests, Tang Batian and everyone sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals, and under the table was a charcoal fire that had been prepared a long time ago, which would not make people feel cold. The guests also made tea with boiling water and served it to everyone one by one.

Tang Yukan cried for a while, and took the lead in coming out to thank Tang Batian and ask how to preside over the overall situation. He was followed by his younger brother Tang Yuli, who was a teacher, and he was also Zhuoyi's brother-in-law. and Tang Yuyi, who lived with the twenty-ninth master, is now following Tang Yukan in Guangxi, and he also came out at this time.

Tang Batian didn't speak immediately, but looked at several old people present, of course, among them were Xin Kang, the old accountant in the village, and his brothers Tang Yiyuan and Tang Siyuan.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Tang Batian coughed lightly and said lightly: "I'm Cheng biting the golden three-plate axe, just throw it out!" I really can't interfere with these things. However, Husheng is not an outsider, although Zhijing and Yuewen are younger, they are your own family after all, even Xinkang is also a representative of the village committee, and also a representative of the old people in your group! One yuan also has some experience, you can watch it together! ”

Sure enough, as soon as Tang Batian finished speaking, everyone next to him had expressions.

"The twenty-ninth master has suffered a lot, and I will do it later!" Tang Husheng saw everyone looking at him and thought of his past experience, so he had to take the initiative to speak out. I have seen too much life and death, Tang Husheng and the twenty-ninth master are also old acquaintances, and they are not taboo at all. is willing to control this matter, and it can be regarded as having some feelings in it.

"Fight to get water, send it to the master, you need to be a member of the family, now it's snowing outside, the old ones are really not good, or I'll take a young man to the well of the big locust tree!" Tang Yuewen took the initiative to stand up, he was the youngest of the few people of his own generation here. Tang Zhijing sat beside him without squeaking, and he nodded slightly at Tang Yuewen's reaction.

Xin Kang, who has been sitting there roasting the fire and has no squeak, is not from the Tang family, but he is also a neighbor of the Hongzheng Hall group. After seeing Tang Batian coming, he remained silent. He was considered an outsider in the promotion hall, and he only settled here after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the village, the village committee is just an accountant, although he entered the village committee a little earlier than Tang Batian, but with Tang Batian's reputation, where does he have the right to speak.

At this time, when he heard Tang Batian's words, although he didn't name anything, but thinking of Tang Batian's expression of the old god, he was inexplicably a little excited, after all, with Tang Batian's character, it was difficult to give others a chance to behave. When he thought of this, Xin Kang couldn't help but sit up straight, coughed lightly and said: "Everyone in the township, the main family must not come forward in this matter, I am also a person from this Hongzheng Hall, I will do Zhang Luo's matter!" ”

When he said this, his voice was not particularly loud, but he still looked awe-inspiring. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Tang Batian, and when he saw his indifferent face, he knew in his heart that he was decent.

Not to mention the noisy Zhang Luo funeral here, Tang Batian thought that he still had to go to the promotion hall, not only with some instructions from Luo Ran, but also with the matter of promising Tang Yuye at night. In fact, Tang Batian felt that it was not too far away from the village, and he was still in charge of the affairs of the village, so he should go over and go through the motions.

Seeing that everyone gradually had a charter, he came over to tell Tang Yukan brothers. These brothers of the Tang family also knew that there were people in the promotion hall for a few days, and if it weren't for the heavy snow, the village would have been lively long ago. Because the old man who is gone over there is also very old, which is a happy event. Tang Batian wanted to pass, this is as it should be, everyone thanked him again, and sent Tang Batian out.

Tang Batian didn't let his son Tang Zong go back with him, but asked him to help here, but gave Zhuo Shun, who was roasting the fire on the side, a look.

may have followed Tang Batian for a while, Zhuo Shun became a lot more spiritual, so he made an excuse with the people around him, saying that he wanted to go back first. These people around me didn't care, after all, who would deliberately think so much. However, Zhuo Shun thought about it before leaving, and took the flashlight of his eldest brother Zhuo Yi by the way. Of course, no one found out about these little things, and no one knew that Zhuo Shun followed Tang Batian.

The dirt road is still deserted, and you can see the road without flashlights in the snow all around. The snow was still falling in the sky, and it seemed to be very evenly fluttering.

"With such a heavy snowfall, several people died in a few days! If I don't stop, I'm afraid I'll die! Zhuo Shun suddenly said for no reason.

Because the dirt road is wide after all, two people walk almost side by side. Tang Batian glanced at this familiar young man, and suddenly felt a little shocked in his heart: "The weather is cold, every household is not well prepared, and it is difficult for the elderly to survive the winter!" It's true that there haven't been so many deaths in a few days in many winters! A snowflake melted into his mouth, and Tang Batian felt that he was a little sober.

"The child of the Dianfeng family is gone, did you go to see it later!" Ge Ge Ge walked on the snow, Tang Batian suddenly asked Zhuo Shun.

"Don't want to see it!" The young Zhuo Shun was suddenly a little gloomy, and actually lowered his head and walked forward: "I heard what the eldest brother said, that child is only afraid of death, it's not simple!" He kept his head down, "When the thin foot had an accident, I knew that it was something evil, this kid died strangely, I'm afraid it also hit something!" ”

Knowing that Zhuo Shun thought of his little brother who died young, Tang Batian didn't speak for a while. This feeling of losing a loved one is really sad. Thinking of what Luo Ran analyzed with himself in the afternoon, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "There are fewer and fewer people in Hongzheng Hall now, and those who live in the back seem to have lower yang energy." Whether this kid is weird or not, if there is something wrong here these days, it is really weird! ”

"Why didn't Uncle Luo come out to take care of it, I heard that the eldest brother said that Dianfeng kept scolding him for being a liar, seeing that he was in a bad mood, I don't know if he would go to trouble Uncle Luo!" Zhuo Shun suddenly said in a daze.
