I am also a little helpless about the old man's statement, they all say that the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different, and in ancient times, there was a saying that he sold his body to bury his parents. And now, the old man has been reduced to handing over the coffin book to me, an outsider, and I don't know how the old man's children feel.

Of course, this is only a small number of old people, and most of them still believe that their children will organize a funeral for themselves.

I asked the old people why they believed in our Eight Immortals, and they said that the price of the funeral had the shadow of the town government, and they believed not only in our Eight Immortals, but also in the town government.

Thinking about it, the old man has experienced the baptism of war all his life, and knows that the era of peace is not easy to come by, so he naturally has a grateful heart for the town government.

For the next three days, I have been recuperating in the hospital, and to my surprise, on the second day of recuperation, the eight immortals who were mixed with this funeral went to the hospital to see a doctor.

This incident cast another shadow on the funeral of the first month, and many of the eight immortals prayed that no one would die in the first month. As the saying goes, the king of Hades wants people to die three watches, and whoever dares to keep people until dawn will not be able to decide whether a person will die. In 2011, five years after I entered the coffin bearer, I had another New Year's funeral, which was so ancient that it even made headlines in the local newspaper.

On the tenth day of the first month, I went through the discharge procedures, wrapped a thick gauze around the thumb of my left hand, walked out of the hospital, and suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Guo Fatzi for several days, and made a phone call to him, but the mobile phone was still turned off.

I was a little anxious, so I called his father, and a hearty voice came from the other end of the phone, saying, "Xiao Jiu, thank you so much, I didn't expect you to introduce such a gentle and virtuous guest to the little fat man." ”

I was stunned, when did I tell Guo Fatzi about the matchmaker, so I asked him: "Uncle Guo, what's the matter?" ”

He smiled and said, "Three days ago, the little fat man brought a beautiful girl home, saying that you introduced him to him. Xiao Jiu, I'll say thank you on the phone first. In the coming day, when you go to the county seat, I must treat you as a great benefactor. ”

Hearing him say this, I was even more puzzled, so I asked him, "What's that girl's name?" ”

He was slightly stunned and said, "Zhang Yuanyuan, what's wrong?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I roughly understood what Guo Fatzi meant, and the goods were probably afraid that I would object to them being together, so it would be difficult to tell me clearly, so he secretly acted in this play. I'm also drunk, so how long have Guo Fatzi and Zhang Yuanyuan known each other, so they brought it home?

Immediately, I asked him what was going on. He said that three days ago, Guo Fatzi took Zhang Yuanyuan home to meet his parents, and now he has gone to Zhang Yuanyuan's parents' house, and the specific situation is not clear.

After I heard this, I smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Guo, when Guo Fatzi comes back, let him call me." ”

After saying that, I hung up the phone and stood at the entrance of the hospital, and for a moment, I didn't know where to go.

At this moment, he hurriedly walked over, smiled apologetically at me, and said, "Brother Jiu, I heard that you were discharged from the hospital today, and there are some things at home that are on hold, and you are a little late, what are we going to do next?" ”

I was a little stunned when he asked me this, home, I definitely can't go back, is there anything else to do at the moment, I thought about it for a while, there are still a few days to leave the spring, take advantage of these days to go to Hengyang City to see what is going on with Chen Tiannan and his daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, I told him, "Go to Hengyang first, and then go to Quyang with Qing Xuanzi to find Jiang Ye in a few days, if it is convenient for you at home, you can go to Quyang with me." ”

He nodded, and without speaking, he stood beside me, looking like he was going to follow me.

Subsequently, we took a bus to Hengyang, Chen Tiannan's home is easy to find, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we have appeared at Chen Tiannan's house.

His parents were very easy-going, unlike some rich people who were snobbish, and they asked us about the latest situation, and we answered truthfully, and he did not look down on us, but said, 'Three hundred and sixty-five lines, the best in the line'.

During this period, Chen Tiannan and his daughter-in-law never appeared, and I couldn't help it, so I asked his father, where did Chen Tiannan go.

He said, "I went to my mother-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I won't be back until a few days." ”

As soon as I heard what he said, I said a few words casually, and I didn't stay at his house for long, so I took my stammering to a nearby hotel and stayed, one was to wait for Chen Tiannan, and the other was to plan to play in Hengyang. After all, I have always grown up in the countryside, and the farthest place is to go to the county, and this Hengyang City is the first time I have seen the city, and I am more or less curious.

After playing in Hengyang for a few days, Chen Tiannan didn't know what was going on, he didn't come back, and he saw that spring was about to begin, so I didn't wait any longer, and left a sentence for his father, 'Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't force it too much, it will only backfire', so I went to the train station and bought three train tickets from Hengyang to Quyang the next day.

This third train ticket was bought for Daoist Qingxuanzi, and when my family moved the grave last year, he repeatedly emphasized that I should go to Quyang with him, so I bought a train ticket for him first.

After buying the ticket, I called Qing Xuanzi and told him that the ticket was tomorrow at 3:50 p.m., and we agreed to meet at the west gate of the train station tomorrow.

The next day, I got up early in the morning with my stammer, there was nothing to do in the hotel, and the consumption was so high that a boxed lunch was more than a dozen yuan, so I went directly to the west gate of the train station.

I'm similar to a stammer, I don't bother to put a lot of effort into waiting for someone, I won't be like Guo Fatzi and Chen Tiannan, who can't bear their temperament, and run Internet cafes to play games to kill time.

When we stayed at the train station until one o'clock at noon, Qing Xuanzi appeared in front of us in a cyan robe, he looked at us a few times, smiled, and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but your fame is getting bigger and bigger, I didn't expect to have the honor to share a train with Chen Baxian, who is famous in our Dongxing Town, today." ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't bury the boy, compared to you, the boy is at best a beginner's apprentice." ”

"Haha, let's stop praising each other, who is this?" He asked, pointing to the stammerer next to me.

After speaking, his face froze, stared at the stammering face for a while, then pinched his fingers and calculated, and said in a lost voice: "This little brother, you are destined to lack wealth, but this face is a rich person, the two clash with each other, you should not be a normal person, but, I looked up and down your body, and I didn't find anything abnormal about you, so I'm afraid your life won't last long!" ”

Hearing him say this, I was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked him: "He stammered, is it abnormal?" ”

After that, I asked the stammerer to say something, and he said, "Dao... Road... Dao Chief, good! ”

I don't know what's going on, Qing Xuanzi heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he grabbed the stuttering hand.
