Chapter 226: Candidates for Answering Gifts (This Chapter is Free)

The five of them lined up in the hall, with the one-eyed one standing in the middle, and two blind men on each side. They clasped their palms together like an old man's coffin and bowed. The man standing next to the old man's coffin bowed in return. Because the old man had no children and no daughters, and he had no immediate relatives, he could only invite acquaintances in the village to give the hanger a gift.

However, people in the village are generally reluctant to give gifts to people who are not their relatives, because it is not an auspicious thing. Whoever gives a gift to the hanger means that the family has died of a loved one, and it is no wonder that no one wants to do this unlucky errand although it is not bitter.

After discussion in the village, it was decided that the red-haired ghost would be the one who answered the gift. The red-haired ghost was rescued by his grandfather in General Po, and both the female pervert and the Rose Taoist priest were subdued, and there were no other ghosts to use it. It's still the same as before, doing manual work for people to earn a little food.

But immediately the old man retorted, saying that the one who answered the gift must be a person, and only saw that there were living people sending the dead, where are there ghosts sending the dead? Although the red-haired ghost is different from other ghosts, it has a physical body, but after all, it is a person who has died, and it cannot be counted as an ordinary person.

Although the matter of answering the salute is small, it is only necessary to return the salute when the hanger comes to worship, the hanger bows first, and the responder bows back; Then the hanger kneels down and kowtows, the responder kowtows back, the hanger kowtows three times, and the responder also kowtows three times.

It's a small thing, but it's a ritual issue, and it's small, but it can't be without.

However, no one in the village wanted to do such a small thing. They were afraid that it would bring bad luck to their families. Seeing that the old man's corpse would stink after a long time, the village leaders were very anxious and offered a reward of 100 yuan to ask for a gift. At that time, a hundred dollars was already a considerable amount.

But still no one came to accept it.

The old man couldn't have imagined that he had built a spiritual house for other dead people for a lifetime, and in the end there was no one to help him answer the gift.

Just when the leaders of the village were at a loss, a person who was not from Wentian Village came to accept the task. This person is the choice of wife. Many were surprised. To say, catching the female pervert also has the old man's part, it stands to reason that the wife should be very resentful of the old man, but he actually took the initiative to be the answerer for the dead old man.

But his reason is very good, he is alone, and his daughter-in-law is just a female ghost, even if he will be infected with bad luck if he is someone else's answer, he will not hurt other people. But he had one condition that he would not accept the reward of a hundred dollars.

Four blind men and one one-eyed, after bowing, knelt down and kowtowed to the old man's coffin in unison. Choose a serious woman and kowtow.

I looked into the hall from the banquet in the greenhouse, and saw Xuanpo's back lying on the ground, and guessed his mood at the moment. I can't guess. I looked at the black and shiny coffin again, and wondered how the old man's soul would feel if he was still in the coffin. I can't guess either.

"Thank you for making a few places for us to live in, so that we can't get wet on rainy days, sunny, dew, and cool winds." The five said in unison, and then kowtowed to the old man's coffin reverently.
