When the young man heard this, he glanced at us, and then at the middle-aged man next to the girl, as if he knew something, Huo Ran got up, raised his hand and smashed his fist on the middle-aged man's face, and scolded: "Grass mud horse, you dare to do something to my sister." ”

"Brother, why are you still so short-tempered, he... He... He didn't do anything to me. The girl whispered, and sat inside.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but glance at the young man, this person's appearance looked like a big and rough man, but I didn't expect that he took good care of his sister and was a qualified brother.

I don't know what's going on, the middle-aged man who was beaten didn't fight back, but stared at me with resentful eyes, looking like this, especially blamed me for coughing.

I ignored him, and chatted with Guo Fatzi and stammering, while Qing Xuanzi leaned against the window, closing his eyes and recuperating.

After chatting for about ten minutes, the young man stared at me for a while, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't speak, but Guo Fat Man was more open-minded and asked him: "Dude, is there something wrong?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth to say a word from the rivers and lakes, "Listen to a few brothers chatting, are you the Eight Immortals?" Specialized in carrying coffins? ”

Guo Fatzi nodded and said dishappily: "What's wrong?" Look down on a few brothers? ”

He hurriedly stopped and said: "Misunderstanding, I just have some questions I want to ask a few brothers, I can't hide it, I went home this time because my grandmother is critically ill, I heard that I won't live for a few days, I want to ask a few people about the funeral." ”

As soon as I heard this, I waved my hand at Guo Fatzi, signaled him not to speak, and said to the young man: "The customs are a little different from each other, and there will be some differences between the customs of our side and the customs of yours, and we can't give you any practical advice. ”

It's not that I don't help him, but I heard him say that he is going home, presumably not us Hengyang people, and the customs must be a little different.

He smiled bitterly and said, "This brother, do you know Shaoyang? Next to Hengyang, very close, I graduated from junior high school and worked in Hengyang, your customs are similar to ours, many links are the same, so I will ask you. ”

"Oh?" I was stunned for a moment, so I asked him, "Don't you have eight immortals over there?" Why do you still have to ask me as an outsider? ”

"We don't call the coffin the eight immortals, they only know how to carry the coffin, and they don't know as much about the funeral as the eight immortals on your side, and most of the Taoist priests who do funerals over there are indiscriminate. Those who have the ability are the elderly, those old people are old, the body is inconvenient, and they don't want to do funerals anymore, just now look at the attitude of the two brothers next to you to you, I think you have the ability, I want to ask you. He explained it to me.

Listening to him say this, think about it, the people who do funerals in various places are uneven, some places do funerals with unique skills, and some places will appear some people who are indiscriminate, which is related to local customs, environment and economic conditions.

If that place has complicated customs, beautiful environment, and developed economy, how many normal people are willing to do it? This has caused an extreme shortage of people to do funerals in some places.

Of course, there are also places where they are too poor and do not have so much money to do funerals, but use the simpler way handed down by their ancestors to send the deceased up the mountain. In this way, the people who do funerals have little money to make, and the line will naturally wither, to put it bluntly, all walks of life in this society are rushing for money, and who wants to do it without money?

So, I was going to give him some advice, so I asked him some detailed questions, he told me that his name is Wang Xi, his sister's name is Wang Chuyao, born in Shaodong County, Shaoyang City, Wax Tree Village, the family is relatively poor, the brother and sister graduated from junior high school, and went to work in a large supermarket in Hengyang, the elder brother works as a security guard in the supermarket, and the younger sister works as a cashier.

Just this morning, Wang Xi received a call from his hometown, saying that his grandmother was critically ill, and the brother and sister couldn't take care of the fact that they had just come to Hengyang from their hometown for a few days, so they bought a ticket and hurried to their hometown.

After listening to his simple self-report, I have a good impression of this brother and sister, at least they rushed home as soon as they knew that their relatives were going to pass away, unlike some people who prevaricate for various reasons and postpone the day of going home.

"Brother Jiu, if my grandmother dies, how should we, the descendants, show our filial piety?" Wang Xi stared at me for a while, and didn't care that I was one year younger than him and called Brother Jiu.

"You can rush back as soon as possible, it is already a great filial piety, show sincerity in the funeral, and then give her more clothes and funeral goods in the coffin, and if you burn something, pick some things that the old man liked before his death." I'll explain it to him.

"When doing the Dharma, don't think about it in your mind, and go to the funeral with a grateful heart, so that the old people can go smoothly." Qing Xuanzi opened his eyes slightly and interjected on the side.

"Anything else?" That Wang Chuyao glanced at me and asked in a low voice.

I thought about it for a while, and later generations said that filial piety is not easy to answer, saying that it is a philistine to show filial piety at the funeral, which requires money, and the brother and sister came out to work after graduating from junior high school, and they must have no money, so they can only work hard in their hearts.

Thinking of this, I said to her, "When you do the Dharma, the descendants kneel more often. As the saying goes, when the descendants kneel, the deceased will be three points more valuable, and use your actions to atone for the sins of the deceased, so that the deceased will have a good birth in the next life. ”

After hearing this, the brother and sister said thank you to us, took out a red envelope and stuffed it into me, saying that it was their heart.

I was not polite, I took the red envelope, this is the rule of our industry, as long as the funeral is mentioned, the red envelope must be accepted.

Later, we chatted for a while, and seeing that the train was about to arrive in Shaoyang, the middle-aged man who had been sitting next to him without opening his mouth began to make things difficult.

He first glanced at Wang Xi, raised his hand and smashed it with a punch, and scolded: "**** cub, Lao Tzu put up with you for an hour, and now that you are in Shaoyang, you kid don't want to go back to participate in any funeral, let Lao Tzu stay obediently in Shaoyang for a few days, and let your sister accompany me well." ”

As soon as I saw this situation, I knew that this middle-aged man was from Shaoyang, and he should have some relationship at the train station, otherwise, he wouldn't dare to say this.

That Wang Xi reacted quickly, grabbed him by the collar, punched him in the stomach, and scolded: "What about Shaoyang, don't think that it has anything to do with you, Lao Tzu told you that after graduating from junior high school, Lao Tzu spent half a year at Shaoyang Railway Station, and he knew no less people than you, Made." ”

After speaking, he fanned down the middle-aged man with two slaps, and scolded in his mouth.

At this moment, a female voice sounded from the horn of the train, "Passengers, please pay attention, Shaoyang Station is about to arrive, please take your luggage and prepare to get off the train at Shaoyang Station." ”
