Chapter 450: Buying a Shroud

Buried at home? Auntie, what do you mean, don't scare me? The fat man said happily with an expression that I was not frightened.

"Why am I scaring you, those who are still in the village basically think so, they can't enter the ancestral grave, and they don't want to be burned after death, what can they do? It's just right to die at home! ”

The old lady snorted, brushed her hair, and spoke much smoother, unlike at the beginning, when she was slow.

"Is there a ghost in the mountains?" I deliberately made a look of disbelief and asked again.

The old lady glanced at me and said, "I'm half a person in the ground, what's the good of lying to you?" I advise you. Where to go back and forth, I've been in the village for a long time, and I can't leave if I want to! ”

"Auntie, you have something to say!" The fat man immediately climbed down the pole and asked.

"Young man. I won't hide it from you, I wear a shroud, one is to be convenient when I die, and the other is to be forced! The old lady took the hook and poked the bottom of the stove. He turned out two potatoes buried in the ashes, handed one over, and asked, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

The fat man was not polite, took the potato and asked, "Auntie, why was you forced, can you tell me?" ”

"Okay, I'll talk to you!" The old lady tore open the skin of the potato, revealing the yellow flesh, and a smell of aroma came out.

The fat man was not idle, and while blowing, he broke the potatoes in two and handed me half of them.

The old lady brought the potatoes to her mouth, and after taking a bite, her comfortable eyes narrowed, slowed down for a while, and said: "The ghosts in the mountains will enter the village, and they will not wear longevity clothes, and the human smell on their bodies is too strong, and they will be taken away!" ”

"You're saying that you wear a shroud to pretend to be dead, so that you can fool those ghosts?" The fat man asked in surprise.

"Yes!"

The old lady nodded happily.

The fat man and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Wei Mei set the meeting place in Yongping Village, and asked me and the fat man to stay here for three days, there must be an inside story, which we had expected a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be so direct.

"So, young man, listen to my advice, and go away after eating the potatoes!" The old lady pointed to the potatoes and persuaded again.

The fat man smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, you don't know, our brothers can't help themselves, we are doing this job!" Stay in the village for three days, then pick up someone, take it to the mountains to go around twice, and get 100,000! Now that I'm gone, not only will I not make money, but I will also have to lose money! ”

"How much?" When the old lady heard the money, she suddenly came to her senses.

"One hundred thousand!" The fat man stretched out his palm. Flipped back and forth.

"Do people out there have money and nowhere to spend now?" The old lady muttered, looked at the fat man and asked, "Young man, if I can help you stay in the village for three days, how much can you pay?" ”

"Auntie, what do you want money for?" The fat man asked with a smile.

"I'm giving it to my grandson! Although my three sons are not good things, my grandson is a good grandson, but he is filial! ”

The old lady narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

"Nacheng, as long as you can let our brothers stay in the village safely for three days, I will give you five thousand, how about it?" The fat man tentatively made a price.

"Six thousand, I have three grandchildren, so it's a good score!" The old lady said with three fingers outstretched.

"Okay, six thousand is six thousand!" The fat man was amused, and took a sip.

"Deal!" The old lady clapped her hands, put her knees on her knees, stood up, and said, "Go, I'll take you around the village and look for something to spend the night!" ”

"Looking for something overnight?" The fat man asked puzzled.

"How can you hide from those ghosts if you don't look for something?" The old lady asked rhetorically.

"Done. Listen to you! The fat man said with a smile on his face.

The old lady was very satisfied with the fat man's attitude, and happily led the way in front, muttering: "I can save some money for my grandson again!" ”

After going out, the old lady took us along the bluestone path in front of the door in the direction of the village entrance, and said as she went, "I'll get you two clothes first!" ”

"Shroud?" The fat man asked.

"Shroud!" The old lady nodded. Stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said: "At the entrance of the village, Lao Zhang's family sells shrouds, go to his house to buy two sets!" ”

There was more than a mile from the old lady's house, and the fat man wanted to drive there. The old lady didn't sit, she had to walk.

At the old lady's speed, it would take more than ten minutes.

Taking this opportunity, the fat man chatted with the old lady and inquired about the old lady's situation.

The old lady's surname is Lu. At sixty-three this year, my wife died of illness in her early years, her three sons are all working in other places, and her daughter-in-law takes her grandson to school in the county, which can be regarded as an accompaniment.

The eldest grandson is the largest. Seventeen, senior year of high school, with good grades and the most filial piety, bought an old lady an old machine. Make a phone call every day and ask about the situation.

The second and third grandsons have just entered junior high school and are also very good to the old lady.

But the three sons, all year round, ignored the old lady. The daughter-in-law is the same, and even hopes that the old lady will die soon.

"I know they want me to die, but I don't want to die, I'm just staying up, I'm angry with them!"

Speaking of daughters-in-law. The old lady has a lot of temperament.

"Auntie, if you don't eat them, drink them, why are they looking forward to your death?" The fat man asked.

"Why? It's not for my few pieces of jewelry, I died and they were good for jewelry! The old lady snorted.

After speaking. Reaching out and pointing forward, "Oh, it's here!" ”

The old lady refers to a brick house, which is the third after entering the village.

I subconsciously glanced up at the chimney, and the chimney was not smoking, that is, it was not burning the stove.

On a cold day, how did you survive without burning the stove?

Forcibly suppress the doubts in my heart. The fat man and I followed the old lady to the house.

The gate is also made of wood, and a rope sleeve is simply put on the door as a latch.

The old lady didn't call anyone, and directly untied the noose. Pushing open the door, he beckoned to me and the fat man: "Come, come in!" ”

followed the old lady into the courtyard, and when she came to the door, the old lady also did not call anyone. I grabbed the doorknob and pulled it out, the door opened, and a cold breath blew out of the room, which stimulated me with goosebumps.

The temperature inside the house was even colder than outside. How do people treat?

It is not the same as Mrs. Lao Lu's house, this family is open, somewhat similar to a shop selling clothes, the main house is the hall, there are longevity clothes hanging on the walls on both sides, a coffin is placed in the middle, and the innermost is a kang.

On the kang sat an old man with reading glasses, the old man was bent down, holding a needle in his hand, and was seriously sewing a gray-black dress, which looked like a shroud.

"Lao Zhang, I'll introduce you to business!"

As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Lao Lu shouted.

The old man on the kang paused, raised his head and looked at us expressionlessly, and spit out a word lightly: "Oh! ”

And then there was no then. He lowered his head again, and his gaze was on the garment again.

Mrs. Lao Lu didn't care, and beckoned to the two of us and said, "Come, Lao Zhang's craftsmanship is famous far and wide, and several nearby villages want to buy longevity clothes." Come all here! ”

"Huh!"

The fat man reluctantly tugged at the corners of his mouth and followed Mrs. Lao Lu inside.

When I came to the kang, my eyes shrank, this old Zhang is definitely not a living person.

I didn't feel the breath of a living man on him, his skin was an abnormal bluish purple, and his face was full of age spots.

The most important thing is that the temperature in the house is very low, and between the breath and the breath, there is a white air, which is the case for all of us.

But Lao Zhang, I didn't see his breath exhaling, or rather, he didn't breathe at all.

"Lao Zhang, there are ready-made shrouds, recommend two to me, these two young men want to wear, they have to be dead, they can hide from those ghosts in the mountains!" Mrs. Lao Lu didn't care about Lao Zhangtou's attitude, and made a request in a familiar way.

Lao Zhang paused, put down the needle in his hand, and looked up at me and the fat man carefully.

Being stared at by those eyes, my hairs stood up instantly, and a chill rushed up from my spine, this is not a living person!

The fat man is about the same as me, his body tenses instantly, ready to do it at any time.

"I have to find two dead ones, the vitality on them is too heavy!"

After staring at the two of us for a while, Lao Zhang nodded and muttered.
