He hesitated for a while and said to me, "Brother Jiu, think about what happened after we came to Quyang?" ”

I was stunned, after coming to Quyang, I first met Su Mengke, then met Jiang Ye's driver He Jianhua, and then was chased and killed by two gangs of ruffians, and then was kidnapped by He Jianhua, and finally participated in the funeral of the old hero, and was sent to Taihang Mountain to dig a grave, and then now, although there are more tribulations, fortunately, the funeral of the old hero is still relatively smooth, how can I ask like this?

I asked the doubts in my mind.

He shook his head and said, "Brother Jiu, you forgot about someone. ”

"Who?" I asked.

"Jiang Ye!" He stammered and said with a calm face: "When we first came to Quyang, Daoist Qingxuanzi asked us to pay attention to Jiang Ye, but, you... I haven't paid attention to it. ”

"You mean Jiang Ye has a problem?" I exclaimed, asking.

He nodded and shook his head, and said, "I don't know if he has a problem, I know that Jiang Ye can't get out of this matter." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at me and continued, "I'm afraid you're chopping your fingers, and it's also in his budget." ”

As soon as I heard this, I fell silent, and I didn't speak, and my mind kept thinking about stammering.

To be honest, I was a little suspicious of Jiang Ye before, but he had the grace of giving me a monument, so I suppressed that kind of doubt. Now that I hear the stammer, the doubts are getting deeper and deeper, but what I can't understand is, what is Jiang Ye's purpose?

Thinking of this, I clenched my fists, could it be that Jiang Ye would really lie to me?

Immediately, I turned my head to look behind me, intending to ask Mrs. Lu about the truth of the matter, where did I know, that Mrs. Lu was kneeling in front of the yellow paper on the left, sobbing in a low voice, and kept muttering: "Old man, I'm sorry for you!" I hurt you. ”

I walked over with an arrow step, looked at her a few times, and was stunned, she had suffered a gunshot wound before, why didn't she react at all now?

I asked out loud, "Old Lady Lu, you... Are you alright? ”

She glanced up at me slightly, nodded, and said lightly, "It's okay, I'm wearing body armor!" ”

After speaking, she touched her tears and continued: "Xiao Jiu, I also heard your conversation just now, I know that you must have a lot of doubts in your heart, I can only tell you that you are my brother's junior brother, and he will never harm you." ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Your brother?" ”

She nodded and said, "My maiden name is Jiang." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned, listening to Mrs. Lu's tone, she and Jiang Ye are sisters and brothers? What the hell is that, isn't it? Jiang Ye is about sixty years old, but Mrs. Lu is nearly 90 years old, these two are sisters and brothers?

Mrs. Lu took my reaction in her eyes, and said in an authentic Hengyang dialect: "Nine boys, there is a saying that the uncle in the cradle, the white-haired nephew." ”

Hearing this, I was stunned for several minutes, she is from Hengyang like Jiang Ye, that is, she may really be Jiang Ye's sister.

I suddenly remembered the reason why Jiang Ye mixed the old hero's funeral, and I thought he was looking at the old hero for the sake of the anti-Japanese hero. And now, he should be for Mrs. Lu's sake.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Mrs. Lu reached out and patted me on the shoulder, saying, "We have no intention of deceiving you, but your master calculated that my old man's funeral was not peaceful, and said that special etiquette would be used." So, this... Everything is just a bureau. ”

"Nine sons and nine funerals are fake?" I wanted to ask her who my master was, but I remembered that I had asked a few times before, and no one had told me, so I asked directly.

"That's true, it's just that one of the nine coffins is the main coffin, and the other eight are secondary coffins!" She said.

"Which one is the main coffin?" I asked.

"The coffin of the old seven!" She glanced faintly at the corpse not far away.

"How could it be the seventh coffin?" I exclaimed, "With your scheming, you should be able to see Lu Yaodong's hatred for the old hero, why do you still use that coffin as the main coffin?" ”

She sighed, a trace of pain flashed across her face, and muttered: "That child is a hard-working baby, when he was a child, he stole the old man's medal in exchange for something unsightly, which made the old man extremely angry, and he didn't have a serious start, so he ...... him, alas! Over the years, we have been compensating him, no matter what he does, we are turning a blind eye, when the old man is dying, he will pass on the 'priority' and his own aura to the seventh child, where do you know..."

After listening to her words, I thought about it, beating their children is a common phenomenon, and some parents really don't take it seriously, just like a little girl in the village next door to me, who didn't know what she shouldn't do, and provoked her parents to be anxious, and slapped the little girl heavily, and it was that slap that made the little girl deaf in both ears and became deaf.

Sometimes, I really want to say that it is a parent's duty to discipline their children, but if you overexert yourself or are blinded by anger, you will lose more than you can do.

Thinking of this, I didn't plan to continue asking questions. After all, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, whether it is right or wrong, and it is not for me, an outsider, to judge, that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, not to mention that I am a small coffin bearer.

Later, I asked Mrs. Lu about her plans for the funeral. She told me that the nine sons and nine mourners were a gimmick, and the real purpose was to form a coffin of nine sons, and then nine people would carry the coffins and send the remains of the old heroes to the grave.

As for what the coffin of the nine sons was, Mrs. Lu didn't tell me. However, as far as I speculate, the so-called coffin of the nine sons should correspond to the nine sons of the Lu family, and use the filial piety of the nine sons to move the lord of Hades in the underworld and let him take special care of the old hero, which is a common means of funeral.

Of course, this is just my guess, and I am afraid that only my so-called master knows what the Nine Sons Coffin is.

After thinking about this, I asked Mrs. Lu, "How to get the funeral next?" ”

She looked through the window in the temple and looked at the sky, "Your master said that the funeral will be done according to the usual funeral, but... There is one thing needed in the coffin of the nine sons. ”

"What's that?" I asked, confused.

"Nine fingers." She said.

"What?" I couldn't believe her words and hurriedly asked.

She let out a long sigh, "Your master said that only by returning ninety-nine to one can the bloodline of the Lu family be preserved, otherwise, my Lu family will have no successor in less than ten years." ”

"Why?" I looked at her incredulously and asked.

She shook her head, smiled bitterly, and said: "The old man has killed too much in his life, he himself has the luck of the country, and those retributions can't fall on him, but... Posterity... Alas! ”
