Taking advantage of this time, the eighth master raised his hand and said to the four people who followed behind, "What are you doing in a daze?" Knot the coffin buckle! ”

"Okay, Eighth Master!"

The four men came to their senses and hurriedly pulled the red rope out of their clothes. Red rope wraps around the coffin, two horizontally and vertically. When they are closed, the hands of the four people go back and forth! The hand shadows are constantly stacked on top of each other, which looks dazzling.

Soon, a near-perfect clasp was attached to the ash coffin.

And at this time, the eighth master nodded at the person who got out of his hand. Immediately afterwards, the green stick in his hand suddenly inserted into the knot coffin buckle!

With both hands, the coffin was suddenly lifted.

The person who took off his shoulder exerted his strength again and lifted the coffin on his shoulder!

The eighth master nodded, this time it was much easier. Five men carried the coffin and walked forward. The coffin master generally does not participate in carrying the coffin, but he is clear about the Tao in this and is responsible for dealing with emergencies. Generally, the family members die normally, and they will not go to the coffin, but they usually find four people to carry the coffin, and it will be. However, if the person who died is unknown, he generally has to ask a coffin master to prevent accidents from happening when he is buried!

The so-called: the coffin is reluctant to land, and the murderous coffin is unwilling!

It's okay to say if you are reluctant. But once you meet someone who is unwilling, if you don't have the coffin by your side, you really can't tell what will happen!

After the intervention of the eighth master, the coffin finally came to the cemetery safely.

It was only at noon that the eighth master was responsible for dropping the coffin into the cemetery, and he breathed a sigh of relief. instructed the people around him to quickly fill in the soil, as if he was afraid that his godfather would regret it.

But in my heart, I was a little apprehensive. Because what the eighth master said before seems to be to take me as an apprentice, of course, it may also be to comfort my godfather!

When I returned to Yizhuang, I found that the eighth master was already sitting there.

"Eighth Master......" I stepped forward and paused.

"Good boy, I'm afraid that this Yizhuang will be demolished in a few days, have you found a place to live?" The eighth master looked at me and asked out loud.

I hung my head and shook my head after a while. I didn't know what to say, so I just froze there.

When the eighth master saw my appearance, he laughed: "Your godfather died unjustly, so he was a little reluctant when he was buried, and you have seen this." I promised him to take care of you, and if you wanted, you could call me a master. If you don't want to, the end of the world is far away, and no matter where you go, it's no longer my business! ”

"Master!" I looked up and said a little timidly.

The eighth master nodded and patted me on the shoulder: "Cheng, you kowtow, let's make a decision!" You stay here for a while, and by the way, you can clean up. I'll pick you up in a few days! When the time comes, let's hold another apprenticeship ceremony! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for me to squeak. The eighth master left directly! Instead, my mind settled. Yizhuang has to be picked, that is, during this time. Now that he has recognized the eighth master as a master, he will have a place to settle down in the future.

In the past two days, I have simply packed up my things. And the matter of the eighth master's acceptance of apprentices also spread in the village, and later spread outside the village. It is said that most of the craftsmen of the day will come to worship the mountain and get to know the little coffin! On this day, those who are gracious and those who have hatred will not miss it!

The day before my apprenticeship, I was going to visit my godfather in the cemetery. After all, after so many years of nurturing grace, after I died, I still couldn't let go. I have to repay this kindness!

When I went up the mountain, I felt that something was wrong.

There are many fresh footprints on this mountain path, as if a group of people have gone up the mountain. I've been in the village all this time. It's also not very clear about what's going on outside.

Came to the grave of my godfather. But I saw that there was already a large circle of people there.

People exchanged heads and talked a lot.

I was a little surprised, hurriedly parted the crowd, and walked up, only to find that Widow Chen was wearing a dowry and was lying on the grave of her godfather.

"It's been here early in the morning, but not last night......"

"I'm out of breath anymore, you said that the old man is not shallow, and he still has someone to accompany him when he dies!"

……

I walked over and found Widow Chen lying there. In the stomach, a knife is inserted! Red blood slowly flowed down the grave soil. I had a vague sense of something strange, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this time, the sixth woman in the village walked up.

"This blood, some of it looks like doll blood!"

The sixth woman is the midwife in the village. It is said that more than half of the dolls in the village are delivered by the sixth wife, and they are already fifty or sixty years old this year, and they are also very respected in the village. Usually I get closer to the eighth master.

I was stunned for a moment and looked closely. It was found that Widow Chen's knife was inserted into her stomach rawly, and Widow Chen's belly was slightly bulging, which was already a sign of pregnancy. However, in this way, I am afraid that the children inside will not be able to be saved.

"What a wreck!" When the sixth woman saw this scene, she said bitterly.

I felt a tumbling in my stomach and hurriedly endured it. Lay Widow Chen's body flat there.

The sixth woman did not hesitate, cut Widow Chen's belly open, and took out the child inside.

The children are already dead.

The sixth woman sighed, took out a piece of red cloth from her body, and then wrapped the red cloth with wicker. After that, he shook his head and left with the child in his arms.

"Child, look at the corpse of Widow Chen......" At this time, an uncle said softly to me: "Widow Chen has no elders or children, and the only one who has intersections is your godfather." Otherwise, the two of them will be buried together, right? ”

I was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, the eighth master also walked up from the bottom of the mountain slowly, walked closer, and after carefully observing it, he shook his head and said, "You can't be buried together." Let's pull it to Yizhuang first, make the coffin first, and then choose the grave...... The specific things will be talked about until the apprenticeship is over! ”

"Good!" I nodded in response.

After pulling Widow Chen's body to Yizhuang, it was already late at night. Wrapped Widow Chen's body with a mat and burned some paper money!

"Speaking of which, you can be regarded as half my godmother! You can keep this money, and when my apprenticeship is over, I will give you a good burial. "I burned the paper money before I stood up and patted the dirt off my body.

At this time, the eighth master sent someone to pick me up.

I loaded my luggage into an ox cart and pulled it to the yard of the eighth master.

The eighth master lives in the southernmost part of the village, near the Dragon River. The Dragon River is a dividing line to the south of the village, and legend has it that the Dragon River is the place where a dragon fell. Dragonfall River! The village was built along the river.

The eighth master's house is facing the Dragon River, which is said to be the best treasure of feng shui in the whole village. Known as the golden dragon pantail!

The ox cart dragged us to the house of the eighth master, who had already taken care of everything. Arranged me in a room in the far west.

"You're going to live here from now on." The eighth master glanced at me: "After apprenticeship tomorrow, you will be my apprentice, my grace, your grace." My grievance is your grievance. Of course, I will also find a way to help you find out about your godfather's affairs. It may take some time, though! ”

"Thank you, master! Widow Chen, she ......" I raised my head and asked softly.

The eighth master stood up: "You don't have to worry about Widow Chen's affairs for the time being, she committed suicide." I'll find someone to take care of it, you can sleep well tonight, and wait until tomorrow, you'll be busy! ”

I nodded.

The eighth master is gone, and I sit there, but my heart is not at peace. It wasn't until the middle of the night that I fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, I was woken up by the sound of a rooster crowing.

Immediately afterwards, the red cannon in the seventh hall exploded! It's as if it's announcing something to the outside world.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and the servant of the eighth master pushed open the door and walked in, putting a set of clothes on the table: "Little young master, the master ordered you to hurry up and get dressed, and you are about to pay homage!" ”

"Good!" I nodded, got up and quickly put the garment on my body.

As soon as the sky was dark, countless people were already busy. The courtyard was cleaned up, and in the center of the courtyard, there was a table of eight immortals, and a lotus butter lamp on the table of eight immortals was constantly burning!
