247.Chapter 247: The Empty Coffin (12)
After shouting this, I bent down again towards the altar, and silently recited in my heart: "Today, the boy was entrusted by Wang Chengcai to ask the meaning of the ancestors of the Wang family. ”
After silently reciting this passage, I closed my eyes slightly, took the yin and yang hexagram and threw it under the altar, silently counted a few words in my heart, and glanced towards the yin and yang hexagram, which is a treasure hexagram, which means that there is no need to continue searching.
"Uncle, take a look." I took a few steps back and asked Wang Cheng to come over and take a look.
He glanced at the yin and yang hexagram, calmed his face, and said, "There is a problem with what you said when you played the hexagram, and the treasure hexagram does not mean that you should not look for it, but it may also be for me to continue to search." ”
Hearing him say this, I didn't speak again, pulled Guo Fatzi and stammered and walked towards the outside of the hall, this kind of thing is not what the diviner says, but more about what the hexagram person thinks, this Wang Cheng doesn't want to believe the hexagram, and I have no choice but to choose to leave.
"Brother Jiu, let's go like this? Not okay? Guo Fatzi was a little reluctant.
"Yes, since we came to Wax Tree Village, we just walked away, and we couldn't bear to be sorry for the dead." Stammered and persuaded aside.
"Our current identity is just a side-by-side, and we didn't take over this funeral, so why can't we say anything to the deceased." As soon as I had the strength at hand, I dragged them away.
"Wait, Brother Jiu!" That Wang Xi chased him out, put one hand on my shoulder, and said: "My dad is like this, many people in the village say that he is stupid and filial, Brother Jiu, don't be angry, I believe that the will of the ancestors is true, please make a funeral for my grandmother." ”
As he spoke, he knelt down towards me, "My sister and I paid 2,000 yuan from the boss, plus the remaining 400 yuan at home, a total of 2,400 yuan, please take over this funeral, I Wang Xi will remember your great kindness and virtue for the rest of my life." ”
As he spoke, he tapped his right hand with a half-clenched fist on his heart a few times.
I stopped, helped him up, and said, "It's not a matter of money, but your father doesn't believe it, if he doesn't believe it, there is no way to get this mound down, and I ask you to hire another master." ”
Without waiting for Wang Xi to speak, Guo Fatzi hurriedly said on the side: "Brother Jiu, you are not usually like this, once there is a funeral, you will take it quickly, why this time?" ”
I glared at him and said, "The mound is no better than an ordinary funeral, and the main family needs to believe in me completely, otherwise, there is no way to get it, and the three of us will explain it here." ”
Hearing me say this, Wang Xi seemed to understand something, stood up, pulled his father to me, and said to his father: "Dad, we are laymen who don't understand the doorway, and Brother Jiu is an insider, and he must know more than us, so you should quickly apologize to him." ”
"Unfilial son!" Wang Chengcai scolded angrily, slapped a palm in Wang Xi's face, and scolded: "Where did you invite the liar, really when we rural people are good at teasing, who doesn't know that the protagonist of the funeral is the deceased, and now your grandmother's body has not been found, what kind of funeral, your brain is in water!" ”
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he raised his hand and slapped him again, "Hurry up and let them go, I'm going to find the body of the old mother." ”
"Dad!" Wang Xi was a little angry, blocked his father's hand, and said angrily: "You and your mother are filial to your grandmother, we all see it, but it's not so filial, the scene on the river last night is enough to explain a lot of things, and our bamboo garden." Grandma Fushaw's embroidery needle was inserted there, Dad, please believe in Brother Jiu, he will not harm us, please, I will kneel down for you, let grandma go with peace of mind, I heard in the city, many places are now cremated, burn the corpse clean, don't be stubborn, let Brother Jiu make a mound for grandma! ”
"You... You... You, you unfilial son, what kind of drug did he give you to make you believe in him so much, not even your grandmother's corpse. That Wang Chengcai was not lightly angry, and raised his hand to incite Wang Xi again.
"Dad, if you don't believe Brother Jiu's words, let's ask the ancestors of the Wang family again, and you will throw the hexagram, okay." Wang Xi's voice was very bitter, and there was a vague hint of pleading in it.
After speaking, he looked at me and said, "Brother Jiu, can I let my father try?" ”
I nodded, didn't say anything, handed him the yin and yang hexagrams, told him some tricks for throwing hexagrams, and sat down on the threshold of the hall door, ignoring them again.
To tell the truth, I regret coming to Wax Tree Village, the Wang Xi brothers and sisters are easy to talk to, his father is too stubborn, there is a feeling that oil and salt do not enter, and he is most afraid of encountering this kind of master family when doing funerals.
After sitting at the door for about ten minutes, and I didn't know what had happened in the hall, I knew that when Wang Xi walked up to me, he handed me a red envelope and said, "Brother Jiu, grandma's clothes and mound please for you." ”
I didn't take the red envelope, but looked at Wang Chengcai suspiciously, and threw him an inquiring look.
He was stunned, showed a wry smile, and said: "Just now I played eleven treasure hexagrams in a row, it seems that your words are true, let's make a tomb for the old mother!" ”
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Hmm!" He nodded and said affirmatively: "As long as it is good for the old mother, I will believe whatever you say." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, this old stubbornness was finally explained, and without thinking about it, I took Wang Xi's red envelope and said cautiously: "The well-dressed mound is no better than an ordinary funeral, once it starts, the main family must completely believe in me, otherwise, we will not end up well, I will also tell you the truth, if it is not for the sake of your filial piety, just such a little money, I Chen Jiu may not take this funeral, I must make it clear in advance, this funeral, no matter what, what I say, what you must do, There shall be no disobedience. Otherwise, I will leave immediately, if something happens, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
"Okay, I'm sorry." That Wang Chengcai said respectfully, compared with his previous attitude, there was a 180-degree turn.
Seeing that he agreed to come down, I didn't think about anything, so I called Qing Xuanzi and asked him to come over to see what was going on with Zhuyuan's 'Grandma Fuxiao', and Qing Xuanzi agreed to come down without thinking about it, saying that it was too boring to wait for the train.
After the call, I asked Wang Xi to pick up Qing Xuanzi, and I began to prepare for the clothed mound.
The so-called mound is to put the deceased's clothes and other things into the coffin for burial, and the process is not very different from the funeral, but, in the countryside, the mound is not accepted, and sometimes, they would rather not do the funeral than set up a mound of clothes.
