Chapter 181: The human heart is unpredictable

Not to mention who the people in this hall are, just the old and young people sitting around the Eight Immortals Table are all really here to keep vigil for the old man. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info it seems that these people are all relatives of the main family, as well as neighbors who live near the promotion hall. No matter what the weather is like, or what are the difficulties, everyone must come over to accompany the host's vigil at night.

It's like the twenty-ninth master on the side of Hongzheng Hall, even if he hasn't lost his breath yet, but when people are old, everyone knows that it's just a matter of staying up. Therefore, some elderly neighbors first want to come to accompany them, lamenting the last journey of their lives. Young people are in good spirits, and they help with some hard work, and then a few people get together to play cards, which is also a good pastime in the countryside.

At this point when Tang came over for eight days, everyone had already eaten. Some old people were chatting about the past of the deceased old man, and everyone sighed for a while. The old people are inevitably nostalgic, but the young people hear some allusions and think about some personnel changes in the past. That's how time passes, and life is in this short sentence. Most of the villagers are simple, but they always remember the past.

With continuous heavy snow and freezing, it is obviously difficult to keep warm by hiding at home. For such a big event, the owner's house will usually prepare a charcoal fire for heating. So you can chat together and keep warm, which is a good pastime for many people. What's more, in the winter at this time, most of the villagers have no farm work, and it is the practice of most villagers to survive this winter quietly and wait for the farm work of spring.

After the opening of the country, although the old man's home is not a rich and noble family, it is better to have children who are workers, and most of the third generation are adults, so after the old man dies, the family is very well prepared. Especially knowing that the old man has encountered a serious funeral, the descendants are afraid of affecting the descendants of the family, so they decided to do a big deal, and then show the villagers and neighbors in a beautiful way.

The hall is similar to the Hongzheng Hall, not only the building is magnificent, but also has a lot of rooms. After the change of dynasty and the villagers turned over to become the masters, the owners of the two halls had no rights, and the houses of the families had to be taken out and distributed to the villagers. The old man's family also divided the house at first, but there were more people who shared the house, and they soon had a house built by themselves.

Because of the original division of the house, everyone recognized the co-ownership of the hall name of the hall of the promotion hall, but later everyone moved out one after another. Nowadays, a major event like the death of this old man should have been placed in the hall of the promotion hall. However, because of their initial relocation, even the houses built next to the Hakusando were not held in the shared Hakusando House, but in the small chapel of their own house.

Although the small hall is also spacious, it is still far from the width and depth compared to the lobby house of the Hongsho Hall. Everyone sat in the hall on this side, and the width of the eight immortal tables was placed on both sides at most. Although the sound of everyone talking was covered by people who sang night songs (singing night songs: when people are funeral in Hunan and Chu, some people express the life deeds of the deceased in the situation of singing, usually accompanied by small gongs and cymbals), but many people still hear it.

Originally, there was such a big event as the death of an old man, and anyone said anything. But the old man's children are all capable of something. Just looking at this scene and preparations, it is not comparable to the winter of recent years. Tang Batian naturally knew it very well in his heart, and these villagers and neighbors here also understood. But suddenly such a stunned blue appeared, and just hearing these words, many people present couldn't help but change their faces.

Commenting and commenting on another person at the funeral of an old man is disrespectful and bad in the eyes of the villagers. In particular, although the meaning of the person answering the call is not clear, it is obviously a reference, which everyone can hear.

Although the weather has been bad in the past two days, there is still a lot of rumor in the village, some people say that Master Peng came to grab Luo Ran's job, although he did not do anything big in the village, but he has become famous. Some people also said that Luo Ran didn't know what was wrong and didn't come out to show up. I asked people to invite me several times, but I didn't come out to meet anyone. There are private rumors that he has been deceiving people for decades.

Anyway, there are various versions, and some of them have also reached Tang Batian's ears. Tang Batian is naturally just listening to these things now, and he will not be angry and comment immediately. But he also heard that because the family couldn't invite Luo Ran, he called Wanfuting's relatives and invited the Ninth Master over. It was only when the Ninth Master said that the old man committed a heavy funeral, and there were some subsequent taboos, that the family became cautious.

When Tang came over for eight days, although he didn't see anyone from the Ninth Master, he heard that the Ninth Master had said privately that the Ninth Master was old and had just gone to the wing room to rest. Tang Batian was noncommittal about the person of the Ninth Master, but the other party's year as the Master was not a day or two, but a few decades in the vicinity. Although he lost in the accident at Wanfuting in recent months, it did not affect his basic rituals.

Originally, because of Tang Batian's arrival, everyone was inevitably polite. Some people really don't react to this sudden speech. However, after hearing these words clearly, some people couldn't help but turn in their minds. At this time, most of the villagers were still relatively simple, and everyone didn't have so many ways in their hearts. Even if there are some things, some people who are straightforward and quick to talk about it can't help but say it.

But for this kind of direct referential speech, it is still too shocking. But the most surprising thing is that no one heard who said it. I want to say that the people sitting here are all old, but it doesn't mean that you can't hear who it is, right? Everyone looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in everyone's hearts. Maybe the people singing night songs on the side have no intention of stopping, accompanied by the accompaniment of monotonous gongs and cymbals, which makes people even more inaudible.

After sitting awkwardly for a while, there were still relatives from this family who came to send cigarettes to the mourners, and everyone took the opportunity to light cigarettes and whispered greetings to the people around them. Staggered some embarrassment, and also saved Tang Batian, who has always been straight-tempered, from asking questions. After all, Tang Batian and Luo Ran's personal relationship has been obvious to everyone over the years. Although Tang Batian did not publicly support Luo Ran, it was a fact that the two families were close to each other.

Tang Batian was also a little impatient as he sat there, because he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he turned his head and looked at it and didn't remember who it was. I also casually lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, knowing that if I was still sitting here, someone might pretend to be asleep. happened to have some things to do, so he took the opportunity to get up and say to everyone: "You guys talk first, I'll go around!" ”

Everyone responded on the surface, and looked at the figure that he was not in a hurry to leave, and no one spoke out and showed too many thoughts. On the other hand, the Duke of Zhuhai on the side saw Tang Batian looking east and west, although he was thoughtful, he also said nothing with a calm face. Ijin Gong's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was asleep there.

The hall was still noisy, and the family members and relatives of the elderly, some of them secretly slandered two sentences in their hearts after hearing it, but after all, no one spoke out. In the end, although they saw Tang Batian's figure wandering, maybe they had been tossing for a few days, many people were already very tired and tired, everyone didn't come over to accompany Tang Batian, and watched him slowly turn around and disappear.

Zhuo Shun had been watching people play cards in the next room, but he stood by the threshold between the wing room and the hall house. Because he followed Tang Batian over, he was actually very sensible that Tang Batian would summon him at any time, so he also paid attention to this side at any time. There were more people in the wing room where he was standing, and what was surprising was that Jiuyuan was there. Zhuo Shun looked at Tang Batian here from time to time, and saw that he didn't mean to greet him, so the old god stood behind Jiuyuan and looked at the cards.

Tang Batian saw that there were not many people in the wings on both sides, but there were more people sitting there were people playing cards, so they were naturally not interested. He knew that these people would not fight with him, so he looked at it twice and lost interest. Seeing Zhuo Shun looking at himself from time to time, when he walked to his side, he whispered to him that he didn't have to follow him. Zhuo Shun naturally relaxed, and Tang Batian slipped around, but his brows furrowed.

It turned out that after walking around on both sides, he was a little surprised that he didn't see Tang Yuye's shadow. After thinking about it in his heart, he knew that it was impossible for Tang Yuye not to wait for him, but he didn't mean to be in a hurry, even if the thick eyebrows were furrowed.

In the end, Tang Batian quietly walked to the wing room where Tang Yuye began to enter, there was only one table of people playing cards here, and everyone nodded politely when they saw him. Tang Batian pretended to look at the cards and stood beside these people for a while, only to see that a door next to him was ajar. After relighting a cigarette, he walked to the half-hidden door here, and sure enough, he saw that this side was actually a makeshift kitchen, and Tang Yuye was standing in front of a large earthen stove in a daze.

What was rare was that Tang Batian's face was relieved, and when he saw that Tang Yuye also saw himself, he smiled at himself. The work in the kitchen here is basically completed, so no one is here, and when he turned around and saw that the person playing cards behind him didn't seem to care, Tang Batian slowly pulled the door and walked over.

!!!

Seeing the eyes that had been open and couldn't be closed, Xiang Jingfei sat on the chair with some fear for the first time, never thought that her gentle sister would become like this. If it weren't for her sister's concubine Dafeng Wanniang accompanying her mother in the house, Xiang Jingfei would even feel that her hairs stood on end.

The bed that my sister and brother-in-law were sleeping on had been carried away because they would cry when they saw the old-fashioned carved wooden bed. I heard that the child was lying on the bed and disappeared, but no one knows what the reason is. My sister has been in a trance since the child was gone, and she can't ask about the situation at all. Not to mention comforting her, as long as the words related to the child are mentioned, she will cry uncontrollably and go crazy.

Until now, Xiang Jingfei was still frightened, thinking about her sister's terrifying appearance just now, she didn't know what to use to describe it. In the middle of the night, the third watch suddenly ran to the back of the house to burn paper, although he was wearing clothes, but it was freezing that day, if he hadn't found it early, he was afraid that he would have a serious illness if he didn't have a big event. In fact, Xiang Jingfei is not worried about these, because what she is worried about is that her sister can't think about it.

The brother-in-law has been pulled away by his brothers, and he has not helped his sister to recover at the moment, although he can't say who is to blame for this matter, but Xiang Jingfei knows that if the two of them come to their senses, there will definitely be a thorn in their hearts. Now Xiang Jingfei has no choice, she just hopes that her sister can return to normal, but looking at her like this, Xiang Jingfei feels that she is chilling.
