I have never seen a person with such a rich expression, so Wei Dezhen saw that the senior brother agreed, and immediately ran to the side of the senior brother, kowtowed desperately to the senior brother, and said a lot of words of thanks in her mouth, and said that she was waiting for the senior brother to come at home tomorrow.

The senior brother gave up in disgust and sent Wei Dezhen away.

After Wei Dezhen left, the senior brother picked up the 10,000 yuan on the ground, and I asked him, Wei Dezhen is not the person you liked before, why do you still collect money, he said, is it wrong to collect money for the coffin?

In an instant, I immediately understood why Wei Dezhen was not with her senior brother.

Later, I asked my senior brother what kind of coffin Wei Dezhen was going to beat, and the senior brother only said one sentence, some coffins could not be beaten, so he walked straight to the second floor.

I didn't say anything for a day, and the next morning, that is, on Monday, I was going to go to school, but my senior brother stopped me, and he said, "I asked for a day off from school today, and I will go to Wei Dezhen's house with me later." ”

I was a little reluctant, and was about to speak, when my brother said, "That's it." ”

Hearing this, I froze in place, extremely reluctant in my heart, but my senior brother said so, what else can I say, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all at my senior brother's house, I can't refuse him, that's too ungrateful, not to mention that my father originally sent me to learn art, not to send me to school.

At that moment, I hummed and said that I was going to school to ask for leave, but my brother stopped and said, "No need, I already asked for leave for you yesterday afternoon." ”

Then, I followed my senior brother to wash up, and went out at about half past seven. It is worth mentioning that before going out, my brother meditated in front of my grandfather for half an hour, and I kept muttering something in my mouth, and I didn't hear it clearly, as if he was reciting some scriptures and praying.

Wei Dezhen's village is a little far from the town, and it is estimated that there are seven or eight miles away, I originally thought that my senior brother would definitely rent a motorcycle to go over, but my senior brother said that the door to open the coffin could not be carried out with the help of external forces, and it would break the fortune of the owner, and I had to walk over step by step.

On the way, the senior brother told me a lot, all of them are some skills in making coffins, he told me that you can't be greedy for fast and ignore some steps, and told me that the coffin is a house in the underworld, and you can't move nails on it, saying that nails belong to gold in the five elements, and the yang energy is quite heavy, and moving nails is equivalent to sprinkling a handful of sun on the head of the deceased, which will break the blessings of the deceased's afterlife.

I wondered at the time, I remember that some carpenters in our village beat coffins, how can there be no nails, and then there are generally a few nails riveted into the coffin after the deceased is put into the coffin, and the nails are also nails.

The senior brother explained to me that only a carpenter who does not enter the stream can do those things, and a ghost craftsman like him will not do such an unpopular thing, and will use tenon (sun) joints to close the whole coffin.

When it comes to the word ghost craftsman, Rao is a calm and breezy senior brother, and his face also looks a little proud.

When we came to Wei Dezhen's village, Wei Dezhen changed her attitude yesterday and respected her brother very much, even I was stained with my brother's light, she first took a red envelope for my brother, and then gave me a red envelope.

I pinched it, this red envelope is a bit heavy, and it is estimated that it must cost dozens of yuan.

I don't understand, I haven't started to take the red envelope, which is a bit bad, the senior brother said, this red envelope is a red envelope for the start of work, generally help people to break the coffin, this red envelope must be given by the owner, as for the amount of red envelopes, it completely depends on the meaning of the owner.

I didn't think much of it at the time, and I took the red envelope and stuffed it in the pocket behind my butt.

Wei Dezhen saw us put away the red envelope, smiled, and hurriedly invited us in, and brought two bowls of noodles to the two of us, to my depression, the bowl of noodles she served to my senior brother had six eggs, and my bowl of noodles only had one egg, which was still very small.

I muttered, "That's too obvious!" ”

The senior brother glared at me, so frightened that I hurriedly lowered my head to eat noodles, and Wei Dezhen said on the side, "Don't be unconvinced, little rabbit cub, Dagong is treated like this, it's good to be able to give you the following to eat." ”

After breakfast, Wei Dezhen sat down opposite us, and she didn't know what was going on, she seemed to be a little excited, first brushed the hair scattered in front of her forehead, and then said to my senior brother with a solemn face: "Master Wang, we have known each other, this time please be sure to hit the coffin carefully." ”

"Don't mind, it's better for you to call Wang Mazi, it's better to listen to." Senior brother is still angry with Wei Dezhen's behavior yesterday.

Wei Dezhen was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Master Wang, didn't I have to do it yesterday, for the sake of your chasing me in the past, don't worry about me, at most, when I get that kind of coffin, I will marry you." ”

As soon as I heard this, the noodles that I had just put in my mouth spurted out at once, and I stared at them in surprise, and the senior brother was even more exaggerated, almost didn't jump up, and hurriedly said, "No, no, never." ”

Wei Dezhen's expression shrank, and he sighed deeply, "You really dislike me." ”

"No, no." The senior brother was a little flustered.

I watched all this from the side, and I wondered very much, my senior brother has always given me the impression that the clouds are light and light, and he rarely cares about something, but in this Wei Dezhen matter, he shows a little shyness that only a young man can have, especially the thing that he didn't have just now, what he said was so unconfident.

"Since you don't dislike it, then you marry me." Wei Dezhen leaned over, stared at his senior brother with straight eyes, and said, "I know that you haven't married a wife and had children all these years, and you are waiting for me, back then, I..." ”

Before she finished speaking, the senior brother seemed to have returned to normal, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't mention this matter, let's discuss the coffin first." ”

As he spoke, the senior brother looked stunned and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you want to fight that kind of coffin?" ”

She nodded and said, "Sure, you also know that my man has been dead for almost three years, but in the past three years, I have often dreamed that he brought a few boys to me and told me that they lived separately below, and it was very lonely, I..." ”

Speaking of sadness, Wei Dezhen wiped her tears again and again, and I couldn't bear to see it, so I pushed my senior brother.

Senior Brother turned his head and glared at me, and said, "But... Once you hit that kind of coffin, your life will be ruined, you are still young now, there is no need to take the rest of your life for a dead person. ”

"Since I'm married to him, and now that he's dead, I naturally want him to live a better life down there." Wei Dezhen said slowly.

This seems to be very light, but to my ears, it has a different meaning in it, if yesterday this Wei Dezhen gave me the impression of a shrew, today she completely subverted my cognition. However, it's right to think about it, if Wei Dezhen is really such a shrew, the senior brother can't look down on her, and it is estimated that there is really no way, so this will make this decision.

Senior Brother sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, since you have already decided, I won't stop you." ”

As he spoke, the senior brother slowly got up and pulled me, "Chuanzi, come with me to the back mountain to find wood to make a coffin." ”

I was stunned for a moment and wondered, "Aren't coffins all made of sun-dried wood?" ”

He glanced at me and explained, "Ordinary coffins are indeed made of sun-dried wood, but that kind of coffin is different from ordinary coffins, and the wood used naturally cannot be ordinary wood. ”
