After the cremation is over, there is one last item, burial. Luo Dami held the urn, I held the portrait, got into the car, followed the funeral home's work car, and went to the cemetery. Most of the people who came to help were gone, and only some relatives and hardcore friends were left to go with us. Today the sky is not very good, the sky is overcast, there are black clouds like lead, and the mountain wind is suddenly rising, it is going to rain.

No one in the car spoke, and the atmosphere was very gloomy. I sat in the co-pilot seat with the posthumous photo, Luo Dami sat in the back with Luo Xiaomi and Uncle Ling holding the urn, Luo Dami smoked one cigarette after another, sighed from time to time, and coughed hard when he smoked, Xiaomi asked him to smoke less, Luo Dami turned a deaf ear, and kept looking out the window with a sideways face, with deep anxiety and sorrow on his face.

Luo Dami is rich and filial, the tomb selected for his father is close to the mountain and water, sitting south to north, surrounded by pine forests, it is a good hole, it is worth a lot of money, and the place is 120,000 yuan. In the cemetery, there is a special grave repair staff called Master Gaizhuang, who led us to the cemetery, put the urn into the acupuncture point, and put the big steamed buns, bottled liquor, chopsticks and other things, and finally chanted two sentences, and began to seal the tomb and add monuments. Daddy lived for 70 years, a busy life, went through the red dust of the world, and finally burned into a pile of powder, which was sent underground forever.

I am not yet thirty, and I have never thought about death, but now there is a light rain in the sky, and the surroundings are gloomy, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly swells up in my heart, and it seems that I have seen the ruins of the end of the world. Everyone dies, and no one can escape, not to mention those emperors and generals, rich and wealthy businessmen, you and me, if one counts as one, they will all die. When I thought of my ultimate fate, my whole body trembled, what was it like to die?

We came down from the mountain and rushed back to the village by car, everyone couldn't help in vain, the family was ready, the white banquet was flowing, and the meal would start at noon.

The backyard was already in full swing, and a few chefs hired from the town were cooking a big pot of rice in full swing. There are several big black pots on the shelf, and there is either a pot of chicken or a pot of braised pork, all of which are full of a large pot, gurgling and fragrant all over the courtyard. The warehouse next to the courtyard had been vacated, and there were several long iron shelves in it, and the shelves were full of plates of hard dishes, chicken, duck, fish, and so on, which were enough to make hundreds of plates. In particular, the squirrel fish is a special dish of our village, and there are nearly 100 fried fish alone, with a long column, which looks amazing.

This big pot of rice in the village does not pay attention to what color, fragrance, or delicate taste, it is a big pot for cooking, and cooking oil over a hot fire. The taste is thick and thick, and you don't need a spatula to cook directly on the shovel. Just wait to eat, don't look at how to make it, you will lose your appetite when you watch it. The cooking master is yellow and yellow, wrapped in a dirty apron, and stir-frying the ingredients with an iron shovel, the posture is not like cooking at all, like turning cement on the construction site.

I don't feel dirty, I ate it like this when I was a child, and it's okay anyway, squatting on the steps with a cigarette in my mouth and watching them cook. Even if the funeral is over, the rest of the banquet is Luo Dami's business, and it has nothing to do with me. Although there are still many things that have not yet been decided, with the burial of the ashes, the busy work for so long is over, and my heart is somewhat relaxed.

I was smoking when a voice sounded behind me: Snuff out the cigarette.

As soon as I heard this, tears fell from my eyes, and I hurriedly looked back to see that it was the unraveling bell.

Before he knew it, he popped up again. I threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and grabbed him: Lao Jie, where did you run?

Xie Ling looked tired: This is not the place to talk, go back to the house and talk about it.

We went back to my room and he took a glass of water and took a big sip of it. I was about to ask, when he waved his hand and said, "Is the funeral going smoothly today?"

You still say, I can't find you when I look for you, something is wrong. I hurriedly told me about my father's possible mutation.

Xie Ling rubbed his forehead, leaned back in the chair and said: I guess something will happen. There is indeed a problem with Feng Shui here, and the mutation of your father's corpse has something to do with Feng Shui. I also have some doubts about the cause of his death.

I was stunned when I heard this, trembling and said: My father was murdered?

Xie Ling smiled: Your imagination is really developed, there are many reasons for people to die naturally, your father who died of illness, old age, and unintentional poisoning did not harm him, he slept and slept, but how could he sleep for no reason? There's a mystery here.

What mystery? I asked anxiously.

Saying this, it comes back to the feng shui of this villa. After you left, there was no one at home, I took the compass to check it, and found that there was a very strange phenomenon here.

My heart was pounding: what the hell is going on, hurry up.

There are two suspicious spots in this villa, one is the southeast facing location, and the other is the basement.

Basement? I wondered: I've never heard my brother say that there is a basement here.

Well, that's why I said that Luo Dami must be someone with secrets. Xie Ling Dao: The strange thing is that these two suspicious points, the southeast direction exudes a yin and poisonous gas, and the basement exudes a dead air.

I was stunned: what should we do?

Xie Ling sighed, stood up and paced back and forth: No way, to uncover this secret, you must cooperate with your eldest brother. If he doesn't cooperate, we can't do anything about it. I'm sure that the root of your family's distress should be on him.

My heart was so gloomy that I wanted to touch the cigarette, and I thought that I couldn't smell the smoke when I untied the bell, so I had to give up, and I felt uncomfortable and unspeakable anxiety.

How did your eldest brother get rich, has he always been so rich? Xie Ling suddenly asked such a question.

I thought about it and said: I don't know about his experience of getting rich. In the early years, when I was young, my family was quite poor, and I relied on my father to work alone. Later, my eldest brother simply dropped out of school to find a job in the city to earn money to support the family, and we children were able to study and go to college, and I have to say that we have to thank my eldest brother. When exactly did he start his career, I can't tell, just a few years ago, I went home for the New Year, and there was a surprise when I came back, and my family actually built a three-story small western-style building. If this is the beginning of my eldest brother's career, it is not right, he has accumulated considerable wealth before building a small western-style building. How did he get rich, he didn't say anything, I didn't ask, anyway, it wasn't stolen and robbed.

Xie Ling rubbed his cheeks, thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: How did your mother pass away?

My mom left early, when I was young, I didn't have much of an impression, I remember that my mom was in pain when she was leaving, lying in bed all day, her cheeks were yellow and thin, and she always had a towel on her forehead. In my memory, it seems as if she never got out of bed during that time, just lay there. The room was dark and gloomy, very oppressive. Originally, it was sunny outside, and I had a good time, but as soon as I got home and entered the house where my mother lived, my mood was immediately blackened by ink, and the whole person sank into the abyss. Now that I recall and summarize my mother's impression of me, I pause in these key words: sickness, pain, sin, and gloom: and death.

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered one thing: by the way, just in the morning at the funeral, I suddenly heard someone call my name, and when I looked up, there was no one at all, but the voice was like my mother's.

Xie Ling's face changed dramatically, and he asked me what was going on, and I told me in detail.

You promised? He asked.

I agreed, and I agreed.

Xie Ling sighed, looking at me very wrong. I asked what was wrong. Xie Ling was stunned and said: I hope it is not as I imagined, your mother is seducing the soul, seducing your father, and now she is seducing you again.

After hearing this, my scalp exploded violently, and I laughed dryly: What nonsense are you talking about.

Xie Ling asked: Where is your mother buried?

I was about to say when I heard someone downstairs shouting: San'er, hurry down and start the table.

I leaned on the window and looked out, and it was my sister-in-law who was shouting. The courtyard was full of villagers, and they also realized that everyone was looking for a table to sit down, and some of them were still carrying bags and lunch boxes in their hands, which were not enough to eat and ready to take home.

Xie Ling said: Don't worry, you are the host's family, go to entertain the guests for dinner first, and then let's think about it in the long run.

We came down from the upper floors and took our seats at the dinner table. Luo Dami and the important guests ate in the house, and everyone else was in the courtyard. It didn't take long for seven dishes and eight bowls of hard dishes and drinks to be served, the people in the village didn't care about that set, they ate on it, the children grabbed it directly with their hands, the yard was buzzing, laughing and persuading the wine to make trouble, and there was no sense of sadness in participating in the white affair.

Chen Pi and I were drinking, and a drunken drunk came over, it was Lei Zi. Lei Zi held the wine bottle in his hand, and the posture was like who disobeyed him and smashed a bottle, he sat next to him with his ass, and couldn't help but put his arms around my neck: San'er, what did you tell your eldest brother about it?

He was snorting of wine, I was so tired, and it was hard to refuse, so I laughed dryly: I said.

What did he say?

I swallowed my saliva and hurriedly said: he said he would think about it.

Consider than one.

When I heard this, I got angry, Luo Dami's mother is my mother, you can't scold people like this, look at me as a soft persimmon and everyone wants to pinch it. Chen Pi is my sworn friend, I don't want to do it first, I put the wine bowl on the table, and scolded: Leizi, if you pour too much, go home and go to the corpse, and don't play drunk here. I sue you, I am not afraid that others are afraid of you, and I will kill you if you are angry.

Lei Zi suddenly made a move, swept the dishes and bowls on the table and threw them all to the ground with his hand. The noise became louder, and the originally lively courtyard fell silent, and everyone looked over.

A few people walked out of the back room, led by Luo Dami, who had a gloomy face: Leizi, I respect you as an old neighbor, don't be embarrassed!

A few people came over in the yard to hold Lei Zi, and they were all persuading: Hurry home, this is a white matter, don't fool around, accumulate some virtue for yourself.

While persuading and dragging out, Lei Zi stretched his neck tendons, pointed at my brother and scolded: Luo Dami, I sue you, if you don't let me give me that fish pond, I will let your whole family die!
