Verse 69: Funeral procession

Wang Xiaoer paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I also heard others say that he died, and I think his wife should have heard about it, but she just refuses to face the reality: even if his wife admits that he is dead, his wife will think that I am the victim, so if you can clarify this matter, there will only be benefits to me." ”

"The most troubled thing about his wife now is that the two of you searched for the bead together, but in the end, the person who took the bead was not heard from, and the person who didn't take the bead soared." Ye Zixuan said on the side.

"Hits should have their own, and hits don't force them." Wang Xiaoer said with a smile: "I just said that after coming out of there, I was very scared, and I didn't have the courage to touch that bead again, so I wanted to buy a lottery ticket to rush my luck, and I actually won the first prize!" ”

"The first class is only five million, but Mr. Wang, your big business is big, I'm afraid five million can't be wrapped." Ye Zixuan asked rhetorically.

"Of course, one five million can't get the current family business, but what about twenty bets?" Wang Xiaoer smiled even more happily: "At that time, it only cost forty yuan." ”

Those few flowery women immediately slapped their ass, saying something like Brother Wang's fortune and good luck.

Wang Xiaoer then asked: "In addition, I don't know what the two of you think about the bead I let the two of you see?" ”

"That bead, you also paid for it, whether it is to buy a dead person or a living person, you put it for the time being, and then tell you after I understand the origin of the bead and how to deal with it, how about it?" Ye Zixuan said.

Wang Xiaoer nodded: "Then I hope the two masters can be faster, I don't want bad luck to follow me for too long, because I have to build a road recently, and I don't want to make one or a few more vegetative people." ”

Ye Zixuan nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Wang, after five days, I will definitely give you the result." ”

Wang Xiaoer smiled: "That's good, but the two of you don't have to be too tired, eat first." ”

After eating, Ye Zixuan and I walked out the door.

Walking around the courtyard, Ye Zixuan said: "The construction of this courtyard is smooth, and the placement of various potted plants and rockeries is very regular. ”

"In this way, Wang Xiaoer also has people around him who understand it." I say.

"This is not strange, the strange thing is that these flowers are missing peonies." Ye Zixuan said.

I looked at it, and there are indeed no peonies, if this Wang Xiaoer doesn't like this kind of strong big flowers, but there are a lot of roses, red, white, blue, and yellow.

Ye Zixuan said thoughtfully: "Earlier I said that what Wu Mei is afraid of is peonies, but there are no peonies in this courtyard, I don't know why?" ”

"You mean there is Wu Zetian hiding in this courtyard?" I thought about it and said.

"She shouldn't be hiding here now, it's very likely that she will be there with Yuan Tiangang." Ye Zixuan said: "Forget it, let's not delve into this first, let's finish the things that Mr. Wang explained first." ”

Then we came to a small pavilion, and there was no one on the left and right, so I said, "Twenty notes? How can it be? ”

Ye Zixuan said: "Don't care about him first, after all, how did he get this money, I can't be sure at the moment, but the woman said that Wang Xiaoer hurt the antique dealer, and then he made a fortune, I think if this is the case, then Wang Erxiao is connected with Jinfeng." Because the antique dealer went to the North Ring Road, he was cut before he was sold, someone must have leaked the news, this person, except for Wang Erxiao, who else will he think? ”

"In fact, this is not surprising, there is a flower market in the North Ring, next to the flower market, is an antique city, there are people in Jinfeng, plus they have many eyes and ears, so as long as the antique dealer asks the price in the antique city, it will be targeted by Jinfeng." I say.

Ye Zixuan lifted his glasses and asked, "What would you do if you held this bead?" ”

"Deal with it as soon as possible, the sooner the better, it's not just a bead, it's a ticking time bomb."

"That's right, that's what most people think. Luoyang was originally the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, there are all kinds of antique dealers here, some collect, some sell, all over the country and even international buyers will gather here, why do antique dealers go far and near? ”

"You mean, he went to the North Loop to sell this, was he used as a gun by someone else?"

Ye Zixuan said: "If not, it is indeed impossible to explain his motives, so it is that Wang Xiaoer has a connection with Jinfeng, and then he ...... Jinfeng gave him a sum of money, and then he rose rapidly. ”

"However, I still don't understand, if Wang Xiaoer is involved in this matter, he should try to hide it, why should he bring up the old matter again?"

Ye Zixuan said: "This is also strange, but at present, all we have to do is to go to Wumei Tomb, which is the place where they obtained the ghost spirit bead, to see if there are any clues." If Wang Xiaoer didn't lie, then the person he saw with a wrinkled face and white hair was Wu Mei, so it was even more worth visiting. ”

--

In fact, we didn't know where the tomb was, so we asked Wang Xiaoer.

Wang Xiaoer didn't hide it, so he told us the specific place, typed a map on the computer, and marked the hole with a pen.

It was still the same driver who accompanied us.

This driver and we never have a lot to say, although the attitude is better than before, but I always feel that this guy is very hostile to us, I can't think of why, is it just that he thinks he is very good?

Fortunately, the Lost Tomb is not far away, and it will arrive soon.

From Longmen Middle Street to the south, out of the border of Longmen Town, you will come to a provincial highway, this provincial highway goes straight through the waist of the 800-mile Funiu Mountain, and arrives at Nanyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

We walked on Luonan Road, and after about 20 minutes, the driver stopped in front of a village near the road, which said Luoshui Village.

Luoshui is a big river, also a tributary of the Yellow River, through Luoyang City, but also all the way to the south, the villages near Luoshui can actually be named Luoshui Village, but only this one village got a name.

Generally speaking, the village is next to the provincial road, and there should be a store to do some business and set up a small market, but this village does not, it is an ordinary village, so it is very quiet except for the traffic coming and going.

When we stood in front of the village, we could hear the sound of blowing and beating in the village.

This is a suona, the voice is sad, someone should do something in vain.

"Why are you so unlucky?" I couldn't help but say, "Can you even catch up with this?" ”

Ye Zixuan didn't speak and walked towards the village.

I followed with the driver.

Not long after entering the village, I saw a funeral procession walking towards the Luoshui River.

"What is there to see at the funeral?" The driver saw Ye Zixuan stop and said, "Let's go where you want to go as soon as possible, and see if we can rush back after dark." ”

Ye Zixuan said at this time: "Look at this funeral procession, what's the problem? ”

I took a closer look, and this funeral procession was no different from what I usually saw, first the filial son cried filial piety, and then people threw paper money,

These paper coins are not the ones that are printed, but paper money with large round square holes, and then the people with mourning sticks guarding the coffin, and then the coffin appears, but at this moment, I don't see the coffin, but I see four people carrying a corpse, one wrapped in a white cloth.

"The funeral of this family doesn't seem to be shabby, why don't you even have a coffin?" I couldn't help but ask.

Ye Zixuan said: "This is the problem, let's go, let's take a look with them." ”

Although the driver was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to follow.

I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, the funeral procession completely coincides with the route we are going to the Lost Tomb.

They came to the vicinity of Luoshui and stopped in front of a very small temple, which was about a man tall and a foot wide, and they did not know what was offered in it.

In the funeral procession, an old man wearing a white vest walked out, and after bowing a few times with incense to the small temple, he turned back to the people and said, Okay.

Then there was a scene that surprised us, they threw the body into a hole next to the small temple, and as they threw it in, they heard a click coming from the hole.

This voice immediately made people shudder, but the group of people was very happy, and the old man said, "The gods have accepted our gifts, let's go back." ”

Look at them, let's look at the hole where they threw the corpse, damn it, isn't this the mysterious tomb we are looking for? They're ...... It's a hindrance to the rhythm of our mission.

"Why did they do that?" I can't help but ask.

The driver said, "Whatever, hurry in, come back early." ”

Ye Zixuan said: "We can't enter for the time being, let's talk about it after we figure it out." ”

"That's right, the clicking sound that came from the cave just now is obviously like the sound of a monster eating a corpse." I said, "Let's ask first." ”

The driver insisted on going.

Ye Zixuan and I ignored him, and he walked less than halfway to the cave before coming back to us.

So the three of us came to the old man in the white vest, although Ye Zixuan did not smoke, but carried it with him, took out a pack for the old man to take, and asked him why he threw the body into the hole.

The old man was not polite, he smoked one, I hurriedly took out a lighter and lit it for him, secretly thinking that the old man would be very fond of us, but he spit out a mouthful of eye circles, looked at us with cloudy eyes and said, "You are from other villages, right?" ”

I nodded.

He said bluntly: "People from other villages, aren't they bad enough to harm us? Let's go! ”

Even if you come here to ask for food, you have to give us food, why did you suddenly drive us away? I secretly thought that this old man didn't understand human feelings, but I still had to laugh and say: "Uncle, it's true that we are from other villages, but aren't we humbly asking you for advice?" ”

The driver came to the old man and said, "Old man, do you not understand or are you deaf?" ”

Suddenly 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart, this driver can die if he doesn't speak, you can drag it in front of us, but we are begging for someone now, you drag a hair? Grass!
