"Dulou Village, my husband Jun and Chen Ping went to Dulou Village."

"Dulou Village?" The name was somewhat familiar, and Bai Li thought about it for a while, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"The White Maiden also knows about this village, right?"

"I just think the name is a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while."

"This Dulou Village is not far from our Liyang City, in the middle of Liyang City and Huaxi Town. The people of the village are good at carpentry, and they are the best at building pavilions and pavilions, and the rich and noble families of Liyang City will ask them to come over to help. In addition to building pavilions, they also make coffins in the village. Although the material of this coffin cannot be said to be the best, the style must be the most chic. According to the requirements of the owner's family, you can also carve patterns on the coffin, which is lifelike and very beautiful. When my in-laws died, the coffin was bought from Dulou Village. ”

"Then why did your husband and Chen Ping go to Dulou Village?"

"This—" The woman hesitated to look at her husband, who was unconscious due to his illness.

"That's what my husband does."

"What kind of deal is that kind of sale?"

"It's more damaging to yin morality, and it's a very grave-digging business." The woman clenched her hands and lowered her voice very low: "Before the war, my husband didn't do this, he was also a craftsman, and what he was best at was the beaded velvet flowers on the girl's head. Because of his good craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship, he was quite liked by the girls in the city, and I met him because of this. But later, the city was in chaos, there were wars every day, people were dying every day, and even their own lives were about to be gone, who was still in the mood to dress up. There was no income at home, and there was a mess outside, and I was about to run out of food and drink, so at this time, my husband met Chen Ping, and then followed Chen Ping to do this underground business. ”

"Is it Chen Ping who is looking for your husband first?"

"Yes!" The woman nodded: "This Chen Ping, although I have seen it before, our family has nothing to do with theirs before, even if we see it on the street, we won't greet each other." Also, the Chen family is withdrawn and has always disliked to interact with people, and this Chen Ping is even more famous in the city for not being able to mess with, and whoever wants to get involved with him is equivalent to getting into trouble. When the year was good, my husband saw that he was taking a detour. ”

"I've seen Chen Ping, and he doesn't look like the kind of person you say."

"It's not like it, he looks quiet and quiet, if he doesn't open his mouth to speak, he looks like a shy scholar. But the girl went to the city to inquire, this Chen Ping was not a worry-free child, and would use his better skin to do some things to deceive and deceive. The bigger it is, the more ...... it is to do In short, if it weren't for the troubled times, our family and the Chen family would never be entangled together. Of course, I also regret that if I had stopped my husband at that time, my husband might not have contracted the disease and would not have become what he is now. ”

"What has already happened, it is useless to regret it." Bai Li comforted: "Sister, do you know what this Chen Ping asked your husband to do in Dulou Village?" ”

"What else can you do, naturally, you can do something unseemly." The woman sighed: "Fang Cai, I told Miss Bai that this Dulou Village also makes coffins, but there is actually only one family that makes coffins." The family's surname is Du, and the man's name is Du Guowei, who is in his forties. It is said that the ancestors are also the same as ordinary villagers in Dulou Village, who built pavilions and pavilions. But the whole village is doing this, and there are good and bad skills, this Du Guowei's father knew that he could not stand out from the villagers of Dulou Village with his ability, so he found another way and started the coffin. This coffin is considered an unfortunate thing among the people, and ordinary people are reluctant to provoke it. But no matter how bad it is, you have to use it, right? Therefore, the business of Du Guowei's family is okay. ”

"I think it's good, what business is not a business, as long as you don't steal or rob, don't cheat and live a good life. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm, so what is there to taboo. ”

What the girl said is, but if you are a human being, you will have selfishness, and if you have selfishness, you will have selfish desires, and if you have selfish desires, you will do things that are not visible. This Du family is engaged in coffin trading, and sometimes they will help send the coffin back to the main family, and in order to attract more business, they will also leave the main family to help. Seeing that the main family put those funeral supplies in this coffin, the Du family had a heart to steal that should not be. In my husband's words, these things, even if they are left to the dead, are of little use. It is better to take it out and buy the life of the living. This Du family is doing a business of making coffins, they are good at it, but digging graves is not what they are good at. So, the Du family secretly found Chen Ping. During the war, many people died, and the demand for this coffin was also large, and many people were buried in the ground. Chen Ping had no one available, so he found my husband. At that time, my husband was worried about survival, so he didn't care about those things other than life and death, and followed Chen Ping to do business once. ”

"So, your husband and Chen Ping went to Dulou Village for this underground business?"

"Yes, but not all. When my husband and Chen Ping went to Dulou Village, it was the worst time in Liyang City. At that time, even if you had money in your hands, you couldn't buy food. The Du family brought news that a large amount of grain had been found in an ancient tomb. The grains, well-preserved, are edible. Grain, a large amount of grain, if it can be transported to the city, or to the surrounding towns and villages, it is a windfall. My husband and Chen Ping didn't think about it, so they set off overnight. Before leaving, my husband told me to keep watch over him, and when the deal was finished, he would wash his hands and never do these immoral things again. ”

"And what did your husband look like when he came back? Is it leprosy? ”

"It should have been infected, but at that time, he didn't see any signs of infection, but he became very thin and thin, as if he had suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins. Seeing him like that, I was too late to feel distressed, where else could I think of. ”

"Then before he became ill, he didn't tell you what happened in Dulou Village?"

"I've said a few, but I can't think of anything to do with his illness, because it's a really strange thing."

"What strange words? What's weird? Sister, do you remember? ”

"Remember!" The woman nodded: "My husband told me that there was a hole in the wall, and through that hole, he saw two men sitting in the room. Sitting at the top was an old man, motionless, as if he were dead. But his Adam's apple is still rolling. Sitting at the bottom was a young man with an unclear face, who had his back to the wall all the time. He slammed one hand on the ground, and some of the dry straw on the ground had been deformed by his grasp. A hand, stretched out to the old man, was holding something in his hand. ”

"What's that?" Bai Li asked tightly, but heard a muffled sound from the other side of the bed.
