Chapter 387: Cloth Coffin
Before the words fell, the stupid cow rushed out of the house, and Gao Shan hurriedly greeted Humpty Fat, "Hurry up, don't entangle with them." ā
Humpty Dumpty immediately got off me, and I quickly got up from the ground and shouted, "I want to go, it's not that easy!" Gritting his teeth, he threw himself at Gao Thin, but before I could pounce on me, Humpty Dumpty turned around, and when he punched me in the chest, I felt as if Humpty Dumpty's fist was carrying electricity, and it didn't hurt, and my chest was numb suddenly, and I couldn't help but take several steps back.
At this time, the stupid cow rushed over, and the height of the stupid cow came to Humpty Dumpty, just like an adult came to a child.
"Shoot you!" The stupid cow screamed, and smashed it towards Humpty Dumpty, and Humpty Dumpty also screamed, but he didn't dodge or dodge, picked up his fist and hit the stupid cow hard, and smashed it towards the stupid cow's stomach.
Tom, tom, two sounds, Humpty Dumpty suddenly screamed "oops", his fist smashed on the stupid cow's stomach, the stupid cow almost didn't react, and the stupid cow punched him in the face, hitting him staggering, almost not lying on the ground.
Gao Thin greeted Humpty Fat again at this time, "Didn't you hear what I said, don't entangle with them!" ā
At this time, I pounced on the tall and thin again, "Leave people behind!" ā
Seeing this, the tall and thin man jerked up at me, and I quickly stopped, almost not kicking me.
At this moment, a strong voice came from the door of the house, "What are you arguing about?" Qiang Shun also woke up, and I hurriedly shouted: "Come and help." ā
Humpty Dumpty seemed to be a little angry at this time, and he really fought with the stupid cow, but he was obviously not the opponent of the stupid cow, and the tall and thin greeted him a few times in a row, and he didn't react anymore, like a crazy donkey.
Seeing this, Gao Mian had no choice, let go of the old man and wanted to help, I threw myself at him again, and grabbed his back waist, but I fell to the ground with all my strength, and Gao Mian was suddenly furious, "Little mortal, how presumptuous!" ā
Qiang Shun also came over at this time, and when he saw that the stupid cow was fine, he hugged Gao Thin and fell down with me.
The strength of the two people is added together, and the tall and thin are not capable anymore, and after a while, I and Qiang Shun pressed to the ground, at this time, Humpty Dumpty was also pressed by the stupid cow, and Gao Fat yelled at Humpty, "Don't entangle, it's just disobedient, see how you go back!" Humpty Dumpty was held down by the stupid cow, and he was just howling angrily.
After Gao Slender finished speaking to him, he raised a hand suddenly, and nodded Leng Buding on Qiang Shun's forehead, Qiang Shun was stunned, and then slowly let go of Gao Thin and became stupid.
As soon as Qiang Shun let go, I couldn't hold it here, and the tall and thin backhand wanted to point me again, I saw that the momentum was not right, and quickly let go of him and retreated backwards, and the tall and thin jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the stupid cow, I suddenly shouted: "Brother Silly Niu, be careful!" ā
The Silly Bull rode on Humpty Dumpty, punching Humpty Dumpty in the back like Humpty Dumpty had beaten me before. I went down with a throat here, the stupid cow turned his head to look at the tall and thin, and quickly got down from Humpty Dumpty, got up and smashed his fist at the tall and thin, tall and thin cat, actually did not clash with him head-on, dodged the stupid cow's fist, rushed to Humpty Dumpty, pulled Humpty Dumpty up from the ground, and the two of them were very fast at this time, rushing towards the door.
The old man was still standing stupidly at the door at this time, and the two of them ran to the door and wanted to set up the old man again, I looked at it, if this is to ask you old man to take it away, it will seem that we are too cowardly, and hurriedly beckoned the stupid cow, "Don't ask them to take the old man away." ā
The stupid cow didn't seem to be stupid at all at this time, his eyes were bright, and he rushed towards the two guys at the same time as me.
I stopped chasing the stupid cow to the door, and instead of chasing them, I went over and helped the old man and asked the stupid cow to go and see Qiangshun.
Qiang Shun and the old man at this time, they were like losing their souls, stupid and stupid, I immediately gritted my teeth, the tall and thin didn't know what means to use, and hurriedly beckoned the stupid cow and helped them into the house first.
I helped the old man, the stupid cow helped Qiang Shun, and walked towards the house, the house was not dark at this time, but it seemed a little dark, and when we entered the house, I gasped, and saw that the house was covered with people, and if I looked closely, it was actually a few of us.
I suddenly screamed in my heart that it was not good, this is our soul out of body, that is to say, those two guys just now should have come to hook the old man's soul!
At this moment, Qiang Shun shouted a spirit, "Hey, why should I enter the house, the Yellow River ......" Before Qiang Shun finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "Yellow River, why is there still me in the bed!" ā
I hurriedly comforted, "Don't be afraid, we may be out of body now, or we may be ...... Or maybe we're dreaming. ā
Qiang Shun glanced at me and panicked, "Do you still want to deceive, how can it be a dream, we should all die!" ā
I turned my head and looked at the "we" in the bed, one by one, motionless, as if they were dead.
At this moment, the old man also suddenly stirred, "Oops, oops...... IāI'm ......" and then looked at the three of us, "Who are you, are you here to get me?" ā
I was quite helpless at this time, I didn't expect to come here to deliver a letter, and actually put the three of us in, I said to the old man: "Uncle, don't you remember us?" We're the ones who sent you the letter during the day, and we just saved you. ā
The old man looked at the three of us again, then looked at the floor again, and said "oops", obviously frightened by the "we" inside the bed.
I pondered for a moment, and then said to the old man, "Since you are not crazy now, let's get down to business first." ā
As I spoke, I walked over to the straw pile, where the letter and the black cloth bag were still beside the straw, and I bent down to pick it up, and handed it to the old man, "Someone asked us to send it to you, so take a look for yourself." ā
The old man was stunned for a moment, took the thing, first looked at the black cloth bag, and then unfolded the letter, and read silently in his mouth: "Nine out of the South Mountain is nameless, six wading through the north and forgetting relatives, three lives have been difficult to achieve, one life is reincarnated and one world is ......."
After the old man finished reading, he was stunned for a while, and then laughed, and after laughing, his whole temperament changed, and he nodded confidently, "I remembered, I remembered it all......" Then he looked at the three of us, and shook the black cloth bag in his other hand at us, "Do you know what this is?" ā
The three of us shook our heads at the same time, and I said, "There are two words embroidered on it, so it must have something to do with the coffin." ā
"Not bad." The old man said, "I have reached the end of the day, and my brother has asked you three to come and take me to him." ā
When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you understand the meaning of the letter?" ā
The old man looked at me, noncommittal, and said, "As long as you send me to my brother, the rest is none of your business." As he spoke, the old man shook the black cloth bag in his hand, and suddenly, there was an extra black lacquer coffin in the room, the old man walked over, the coffin lid was pushed open a little, and he stepped in, and then, the coffin lid made a swishing sound, and closed it by himself.
There was a "boom", there was a thunder outside the house, and I sat up from the bed with a "whoosh", covered in a cold sweat.
In the house, it was pitch black, I rubbed my eyes, turned my head to look, and saw Qiang Shun and the stupid cow also sitting in the bed, silent for a few seconds, and Qiang Shun screamed in horror: "Yellow River, we, were we dreaming just now?" ā
His words illustrate a lot. I hurriedly took out the lighter in my pocket, lit the candle next to the bed, the moment the candle was lit, I found that next to my bed, the black cloth bag was placed in a regular manner, I was stunned, and quickly got up from the cover, held the candle to the straw pile, looked into the straw pile, and saw the old man's face, a layer of dead white, squatting down to probe his nose, out of breath, his face was cold and cold, he had been dead for a long time.
I couldn't help but sigh, three lives have been difficult to achieve, one life is reincarnated and one life, is it talking about him?
By this time, it was already dark, and I went back to my bed, and picked up the black cloth bag and looked at it, and it was still empty, but I am sure that the old man's soul must be in it, and it seems that we must bring it back again. I folded the bag a few times and put it in my underwear pocket.
None of the three of them were sleepy, I discussed with them whether to bury the old man's body, Qiang Shun said, if we just carry the old man's body out and bury it, so that their neighbors can see it, what will we say.
I thought about it too, and at last the three of them waited until the day was bright and had eaten something, and I asked the two of them to wait in the house, and I went alone to the old man's neighbor's house, and found the old man with a crutch.
The old man on crutches can still recognize me, I told the old man, the crazy old man seems to be out of breath, the old man on crutches has changed his face, he looks a little sad, and quickly went to the house to call people, and after a while, a little old man and a middle-aged man came out, it seems that the son of the old man on crutches and his grandson, several people went to the crazy old man's house to have a look, and then, the son of the old man on crutches went to the village to find the village cadres.
This crazy old man is also a five-guarantee household, and after he dies, the village cadres will be responsible for the funeral.
More than an hour later, a few village cadres and a few villagers came, and they were busy with the crazy old man.
One of the village cadres, probably their village chief, called the three of us aside and asked about the situation, and I told the cadres that we were passing by here and wanted to find a place to sleep, but later found this dilapidated house, who knows, there was a crazy old man in it, and we saw that he was pitiful, so we bought him some clothes and food, and lived in his house at night, who knows, when I woke up, the old man was actually out of breath.
The village cadres listened to our words and didn't suspect it, and then I quietly pulled Qiangshun and the stupid cow, and left quickly, if it was too late, something else would happen.
The three of them took advantage of everyone's inattention, quietly slipped away with their luggage on their backs, and after leaving their village, Qiang Shun asked me why I lied to the village cadres and why I sneaked away.
I said, if we tell them the truth and say that we are here to deliver something to the old man, they will definitely ask, who let it be delivered? What will we say then? Let's say that the immortal family in the temple asked us to send it, can they believe it? Sneak out, because yesterday we told the old man with a crutch that he was here to deliver something to the crazy old man, and the old man on the crutch hasn't met with their village cadres yet, if they meet and say, "We're here to deliver something, I lied to them, can we still go?"
When Qiang Shun heard this, he immediately understood what I meant, and then, like outlaws, the three of them ran wildly.
At the end of the day, there was almost no stop along the way, for fear that the people in their village would catch up and question them later.
In a blink of an eye, it was dark, because I was in a hurry, I didn't sum it up, and at this time, I couldn't go to the village and didn't have a store.
After walking forward for about two or three miles, there was a broken Taoist temple on the side of the road, as if it had been abandoned, and the courtyard gate was gone, and the three people went in to see, the statues were lying on the ground, and it was a mess inside, and it felt as if it had been smashed.
Lighting a candle and looking at the miserable idol on the ground, I was moved with compassion, beckoned to Qiangshun Silly Cow, lifted the idol up, and moved it back to its original place.
After the statue was placed, the three of them cleaned the temple briefly, then spread out the bunk to eat something, and each lay down to sleep.
I don't know when I slept, but I heard a commotion outside, as if there were a lot of people, and suddenly, a loud shout: "Listen to the people inside, honestly hand over Wang Zhen!" ā
I was thrilled.
