A piercing sound of suona and gongs and drums broke the silence of the early morning. Ke Chuanxu rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around only to find that the big kang was already empty, and the seductive indeed good curtain at night was gone.

"San'er, your thing is really accurate! Yang Da Fat in our village is dead! ”

Ke Chuanxu watched the second brother run in in a hurry, and was confused: "What, is it, is it possible that the suona and gongs and drums are mourning for Yang Da Fat?" ”

"Not really. The kid died last night, and the family kept it a secret. When the neighbors in the village asked about it, his parents said that he had a heart attack and died violently. This morning, his parents invited a drum troupe, and the Taoist priest on Guitou Mountain spent time for him, and the scene was lively! Let's go and see it with my second brother? Maybe I can have a meal in a while......"

Ke Chuanxu rolled his eyes: "You know how to eat, eat!" With a gift of 10 yuan, I don't know how to go to a big family? I don't go to eat the dead, people are very sad, you are embarrassed to open your cheeks and make it? ”

He grabbed the second brother: "The soul bell suddenly rang last night, Yang Dapang's death was definitely not a death from illness!" The conjuring bell has the power to not lie, Yang Dapang is in his early 20s, and he must have died sideways...... Most of the drum troupe is the joy and mourning of the old people in the family who have passed away, and they will do this, and they will die young, what does his father think? Invite a drum ensemble? ”

"Not strange! I heard that his parents married the fat Zhang Luo who just died! That's when I found a drum team, what age is this, and I still engage in this kind of feudal superstition! ”

When Ke Chuanxu heard this, he stiffened, "Let's go, I'll take a look with you." ”

In the northeast corner of the village committee, the tall spiritual shed is extraordinary. The black curtain hangs a pair of elegiac couplets: the mighty spirit swims outside the first clouds, and the immortal soul stops in the five elements...... The first big "lay" word. There is no "kneeling seat" in the mourning shed, and the Yang family is younger in the village, and Yang Da Pang is even smaller. Especially the big fat is not married and has no offspring, so he is free of kneeling. There are two groups of Taoist priests on the east and west sides of the spiritual shed, the Taoist priest is wearing a yellow gossip fairy robe, and the sleeves of the robe are printed with Tai Chi gossip diagrams and yin and yang fish, holding a whisk in his hand, and holding a charm drawn with a cinnabar pen in the other hand to recite words.

In the center of the mourning shed, there is a scarlet coffin, which is particularly dazzling, and the blood-red color makes people very uncomfortable. The photo of Yang Dapang is placed in the middle of the black word "Dien" on the coffin, and there are spiritual seats, incense candles, ever-bright lamps, and fruit offerings on the table.

The sound of wooden fish, cymbals, and cymbals made rhythmic sounds, the chanting of Taoist priests came and went, and the smoke and miasma in the spiritual shed were ethereal. Sitting on the side were the fat parents, the big fat mother's eyes were swollen with crying, the father's face was sallow and his eyes were dull, and he mechanically thanked the neighbors in the village politely.

Ke Chuanxu frowned when he saw the vermilion coffin, and stood in front of the mourning shed and didn't leave.

"What's wrong with San'er?"

"Second brother, let's go back! Don't join in the fun, lest you set yourself on fire. ”

"Why? People can come to eat, why can't I ......?"

"Listen to me!" Ke Chuanxu's tone was unquestionable.

"You've got to tell me why! San'er, brother knows that you have two hits, so I want to find out what happened to the funeral of Yang Da Fat's family. ”

"Hey! I really don't want to touch it. If you know it, you have to take care of it, and when the time comes, you are afraid that it will be thankless to get your hands dirty. ”

"I don't like to hear this! Big Fat You always played together when you were kids, and you don't want to figure out how he died? ”

Ke Chuanxu pointed to the bright red coffin: "The cause of Da Fat's death is definitely not a violent death!" What are his parents trying to hide! The problem is the coffin. Generally speaking, there are several colors of coffins, including golden, black, white, rosewood, and blood red. That is, those who do not die naturally, and only this bright color can calm the restless soul of the deceased, lest they come out and harm the world......"

The second brother Ke Chuancai was skeptical: "How did you judge it?" ”

"Remember how many times my Spiritbell rang last night? Yang Dapang died at that time, if the people in the village died normally and died, the soul bell would not react. Only the soul that touches the underworld will ring the soul bell. ”

"Hehe, that's good! Speaking of a set of sets, and which immortal learned the art of subduing demons and exorcism? I'm ignoring that beard! Just eat! I need to replenish my physical strength, you know I'm on the cusp of inheriting our family, and I can't do anything without oil and water......"

"Stop! Brother, if you are greedy, go and eat, I won't stop you. But don't talk about greed so noble, okay? It's ...... to vent your desires," Ke Chuanxu glared at the second brother.

"What? Did you pretend to be asleep last night? Children don't see this kind of thing! Ke Chuancai's face was red and white, and he walked towards the spirit shed.

Ke Chuanxu just wanted to turn back, but someone slapped him on the shoulder: "Emma! Step on my gloves! ”

A young and beautiful girl dressed up, wearing a pink scarf and a pink rabbit fur hat, only one pink rabbit fur glove was left on her hand, and the other was trampled under the feet of Ke Chuanxu. He patronized and talked to the second brother, stepping on one of the gloves that the girl was looking for.

"Tu Lao Hat! How dare you step on my gloves! Can you afford it? The girlish apricot eyes widened, staring at Ke Chuanxu fiercely.

Ke Chuanxu's hair was unkempt, and he had just been pulled out of the bed by the second brother to see the excitement. He wore a shabby military jacket, a pair of crumpled cotton pants, and a pair of tweed-faced school boots on his feet. Rustic, swallowing sleeves.

The moment Ke Chuanxu turned around, there was a hint of hesitation in the girl's eyes...... It's really flawed! This is a very small piece of fresh meat! Although he was disheveled, it was difficult to hide Ke Chuanxu's tall and burly figure, and his unkempt hair couldn't cover his young and handsome appearance!

"Miss, please be respectful...... I didn't see the gloves you dropped, how much I'll pay. ”

"Don't call me Miss, that's a scorn for women. Please call me Xu Xiaoxian. Bad luck! The otter rabbit fur gloves that I just bought were soiled. The girl picked up her gloves and slapped the dust hard.

"What are you doing here? Those who want to come and go are not like good people. ”

Ke Chuanxu smiled, feeling that this girl was quite affable, but she had to pretend to be a cold beauty.

"Yang Dapang is my childhood friend, so I ......," Ke Chuanxu said.

"Oh, I'm Yang Dapang's cousin, get to know me!" The girl generously stretched out her white hand, chubby baby fat.

"Hmph...... Yang Dapang calls me the third uncle according to his seniority, what should we call them? ”

"Oops? Do you dare to take advantage of me? The girl was a little annoyed.

"Forget it, let's talk about it! Anyway, Big Fat is gone. Ke Chuanxu waved his hand generously.

He looked the girl up and down: "Isn't there something wrong with your pink outfit?" How can attending a funeral be so colorful? Disrespectful to the deceased. ”
