Chapter 653: Wind Burial (63)
After listening to my explanation, Na Lang Gao was about to ask again, but I immediately stopped and said, "It's not too early, it's time to prepare for the funeral." ”
After speaking, I began to arrange the funeral, first let those middle-aged men tie a white cloth on their right arm, since Chen Tiannan is the main coffin person who carried the coffin this time, I asked him to tie a white cloth on his arm and waist.
After arranging this, I found Su Xiaolin in and told him about the earthly matter, he nodded and said that it was no problem, and said a lot of things to me, roughly, he didn't expect me to be so good to his sister, and he didn't expect me to exchange my life for his sister's safe place.
I didn't explain anything to him, so I asked him to find some people to bring out some funeral tools.
He readily agreed, found about 200 villagers from the pagoda, asked one of them to hold a wreath in his hand, arranged for some people to beat gongs and drums, and arranged for four people to carry the 'fetus' behind the coffin.
When everything was arranged, it was already 6:40 p.m., and I looked inside the mourning hall, and it was almost an hour away from the time when everything was ready.
"Ninth Master, where's my white cloth?" Joyce walked over suddenly.
As soon as I heard this, I smiled bitterly, I had been tinkering with the coffin before, and I actually forgot about the white cloth, so I called Lang Gao over and asked him how many white cloths he had bought, and he said that he had bought two horses, 200 feet. I asked him how much he had used, and he thought about it for a moment and said, "It's about 50 feet."
Hearing this, I glanced at the position at the door, if all the people outside the door sent Mengke to the funeral, this white cloth would definitely not be enough, so I shouted to the door: "The funeral is coming soon, I have no intention of sending Mengke, I hope to leave quickly, Xiao Jiu is here to say thank you." ”
As soon as these words came out, the door was boiling, and they were clamoring for Mengke's funeral, and even those who didn't eat at the banquet were clamoring for Mengke's funeral.
Seeing this, I smiled bitterly, it is said that it is a good thing that so many people are funeral, but the problem is that the total number of these people is estimated to be about 200 people, and 150 feet of white cloth is definitely not enough.
Those people seemed to see what I was embarrassed about, and shouted cordially one by one, "Xiao Jiu, I just need a little white cloth, not for anything else, just for your persistence, which is worthy of my participation in this funeral." ”
"Xiao Jiu, I only need half a foot of white cloth, this is my gift money."
"Xiao Jiu, who is the guest of this funeral? Get him out and receive the money. ”
"Xiao Jiu, I am the cousin of Mengke's cousin's nephew's uncle's uncle, and Mengke is a relative, and the funeral must be counted as one of me, this is my gift money."
"Zhike, come out to receive the gift money, otherwise, I'll be in a hurry with you."
In an instant, the people at the door were busy asking the guests one by one, and even Shi Liu and a few of them walked in towards the mourning hall and said, "Xiao Jiu, I gave the gift money in advance, there should be a white cloth, right?" ”
"Yes, we have been involved in the funeral for a long time, and the white cloth is indispensable." This was said by the mah wizard.
"Hey, hey! Xiao Jiu, you shouldn't be a person who holds grudges, I should have a white cloth! This was said by Bao Erhua.
I glanced up at them and said, "Of course, your white cloth will not be less, but, Mrs. Shi, I don't understand a little bit, why do they have to be buried because they are not related to Mengke?" ”
Na Shiliu smiled and explained: "Xiao Jiu, when your master was in the Ten Thousand Towers, the funeral was really crowded, from the eighty-year-old man to the four-year-old child, one by one rushing to be the first to be funeral, which is very similar to the current situation. However, you are different from your master, at the beginning, your master was with his ability, and all of us in the tower were shocked, and everyone wanted to witness his old man's demeanor, but you relied on your own persistence to get their recognition and make them begin to admire you. ”
After listening to her explanation, I was stunned for a long time, is this a blessing in disguise?
Subsequently, I pushed Lang Gao out and told the people at the door that Lang Gao was a guest of the funeral, and as for the gift money, I told them that each person was only allowed to give one dollar, just to show his heart.
After Na Lang Gao was pushed out by me, he almost didn't kill me, so he said: "Chen Jiu, you TM are trying to trap me, there are so many people, how did I arrange to come over." ”
I said: "Knowing customers, you must always increase your knowledge, only in this way, when you encounter a big scene in the future, you will be handy." ”
Sometimes I have to say that these people in the Ten Thousand Towers are really of high quality, and when they heard that Lang Gao was a knowledgeable guest, they immediately stopped the noise and consciously lined up in five teams. And on our side, a table was set up at the door, Lang Gao was responsible for collecting money and remembering people's names, Chen Tiannan and some middle-aged men were responsible for tearing white cloth on the side, due to the large number of people, each white cloth was very short, only a little more than half a foot away, just enough to tie it to the arm, if the body shape was seriously exceeded, this white cloth was definitely not enough to tie the arm, fortunately, there were no particularly fat people in the Ten Thousand Towers, so these white cloths were enough.
It took about fifteen minutes to finally finish the white cloth, and there was still a little more than a foot of white cloth left. During this period, I was not idle, I kept standing beside Chen Tiannan, telling him what to pay attention to when carrying the coffin, and telling him some terms for carrying the coffin.
Seeing this, I asked him if his Chinese grades were very good when he was studying. He told me that when he was in elementary school, Li Bai's song "Silent Night Thoughts", he studied it for three months, but in the end he still couldn't memorize it, only remembered those two sentences, the bright moonlight in front of the bed, and looked up at the bright moon.
At this point, I wondered, so I asked him why he could remember these two sentences, and he said something that almost made me almost collapse. He said that his father's name was Chen Mingyue, so he remembered these two poems. Listening to that, I really don't know what to say about him. However, on second thought, if he was a piece of study material, he should have stayed in school at this time, where would he be here.
After the white cloth was distributed, several of us discussed the route again, according to the custom of carrying the coffin, the funeral route is not enough 500 meters, and it needs to be detoured, I asked Su Xiaolin, how far is the position from the mourning hall to the Millennium Pine, and he told me that 400 meters looks like.
Hearing him say this, we planned to take a little detour of the coffin, considering that Mengke's coffin was a bit special, the distance we detoured was not very far, only about 100 meters.
After discussing the route, Na Lang Gao suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said, "Chen Jiu, when you go out of the funeral, you need someone to hold a photo of Miss Su in front of you, you see this person, is it you, or who?" ”
