Li Xuyang took the "Funeral Record" back to his small room, the furnishings in the room were very simple, a single bed, a table, a paper and pencil book and a small lamp on the table. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info There was a chair in front of the table, not much stuff.

Opening the "Funeral Record", Li Xuyang saw that there were some taboos written on it, but because the book was too old, many of the handwriting had been blurred, and it was impossible to recognize what was written on it.

In the back, some experiences of the mourners of the past dynasties are written, but when they turn to Li Tianyang, there is nothing in the back. And the back is just a brief introduction to Li Tianyang when he was sending off the last person, that is, Wang Simao at that time, he walked to a small bridge, and the back was gone.

Looking at these handwritings, Li Xuyang couldn't help scratching his head and muttered, "No wonder it's hard to understand, because the blurry handwriting is already difficult to read clearly, and the preface doesn't match the afterword, which is even more incomprehensible."

Two days later, Wu Yan, the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, was buried, and Li Xuyang, who was curious, also called Wang Hongzhi and the two of them to join in the fun. Wang Hongzhi did join in the fun, and Li Xuyang wanted to see if there was really something hidden here.

But after arriving, from the beginning of the spirit transfer to the time when it was buried in the soil, Li Xuyang still did not find anything suspicious. (Shifting spirits is a rural saying, that is, refers to the time of burial, which requires the eldest son to break a porcelain basin with a hole the thickness of a thumb at the bottom, and directly about 20 centimeters.) The pot is rotten, which means that the deceased should go on the road, put the coffin in the hearse, and then the family of the deceased follows the hearse to the burial place. ）

After returning home again, Li Xuyang saw that his father Li Yongan was still tying paper people as usual, so he walked over to help tie paper people together.

And at this moment, an old man came in from outside the door, hunched over, his eyes narrowed into a line, his hands behind his back, and shouted at Li Yongan and his son, "Do you have a good coffin here?"

Li Yongan was about to get up, but Li Xuyang came to the old man's side one step faster than him, and Li Yongan sat down again when he saw this. He knew that this was also an opportunity to train his son, and when he was old and couldn't do it anymore, the business of this shop would have to be handed over to him.

"Old man, what do you need?" Li Xuyang stepped forward, hugged the old man, and then asked very politely.

"I need a good coffin, preferably made of sandalwood, it doesn't matter how much it is. The old man was supported by Li Xuyang and sat on a small bench, and then said.

"Sandalwood coffin?" Li Xuyang asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's right, I want a coffin made of sandalwood. The old man repeated it again.

"Old man, sandalwood coffins take a long time and are expensive, why do you want sandalwood?" asked Li Xuyang puzzled.

Before the old man could speak, Li Yongan stood up and said to Li Xuyang, "Just do what the guests need, no need to say more." ”

When Li Xuyang heard his father's words, he shrunk his neck, so he had to stop asking.

"Alas, I have a female doll who just passed through the door at home, who knew that just last night, suddenly died. Our family feels sorry for the female doll's house, just like taking care of the aftermath of the female doll. I came here because I was introduced by someone else. The old man sighed, his face tinged with melancholy.

"Okay old man, you tell us where you are, and then leave your phone, where you live, and who your name is. We will send it to you as soon as it is ready. Li Yongan said.

But Li Xuyang was thinking in his heart, "It's dead again, it's a woman again, that Wu Yan is 18 dead." Today is 26, which means that the daughter-in-law who just passed through the door of his family died in the night of 25, and there are seven days in between. ”

My name is Zhu Junchao, and I am from Zhuzhuang, ten miles south from here, and my phone number is xxxxxxx. Zhu Junchao said.

Li Xuyang wrote down everything the old man said, and then sent Zhu Junchao away.

"In the future, if someone needs something, you can write it down, and you don't need to ask anything else. There are a lot of taboos about dead people, and if you are not careful, you will offend people, you know?" Li Yongan watched Li Xuyang send Zhu Junchao away, and then said to Li Xuyang.

"I see. Li Xuyang replied simply.

"Oh yes, Dad. When I first came back, a woman in our village died, and two days ago, someone from Yangjiazhuang died, but today there is someone from Zhujiazhuang. And the people who died were all women, and they were all married women, and the time of death between them was seven days apart, isn't there anything strange about it?"

Li Yongan was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at Li Xuyang and asked, "How do you know so clearly?" ”

"Dad, I'm sure it's not a coincidence. And it could be a murder, a serial murder. Li Xuyang said righteously, then picked up the phone and dialed the carpenter who made the coffin.

"Don't meddle. Li Yongan glanced at Li Xuyang.

"I'm a soldier, and although I've long since retired, the spirit of a soldier is still there. I can't just sit back and let the gangsters do whatever they want. As soon as Li Xuyang finished speaking, the phone was connected.

"Carpenter Li, I am Li Xuyang, the son of Li Yongan in Xin'an Town, and I want to make a coffin. Li Xuyang just finished speaking, and before Carpenter Li could reply, he continued, "Sandalwood coffin." ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before he replied, "Sandalwood? This kind of coffin can't be made in a short time." Moreover, I don't have this kind of sandalwood here, because it is expensive and there are few users, so I also need to buy sandalwood wood from other places. ”

Carpenter Li is telling the truth, like sandalwood, among the ten thousand dead people, there is not necessarily a single person who will use a sandalwood coffin. Therefore, the wood imported by Li Carpenter is mostly willow or elm.

"Money is not a problem, how long will it take to do a good job?" asked Li Xuyang again.

"If you need it urgently, if you work overtime, three days. However, it will take a day or two to get in the wood. Carpenter Li replied.

Li Xuyang pondered for a moment, and then told him to try to hurry up, and hung up the phone.

There are only sandalwood in the world, sandalwood, green sandalwood, red sandalwood, black sandalwood, red sandalwood, green sandalwood, green sandalwood,

Among the many sandalwoods, red sandalwood is a treasure. It is said that there is a 15 centimeter long rosewood coffin model in front of Napoleon's tomb, and the visitors are all amazed. Later, Westerners came to Beijing and saw all kinds of large-scale utensils, only to know that the elite of rosewood gathered in Beijing.

"It's really rich, and it actually uses sandalwood. Li Xuyang sighed.

"Don't talk nonsense, come and help Lao Tzu work. Li Yongan glared at Li Xuyang.

Five days later, Carpenter Li called and said that the sandalwood coffin had been made and that he should send it directly. Li Xuyang told him to send it directly to Zhujiazhuang, he waited at the entrance of the village, and after Carpenter Li agreed, he hung up the phone.

Li Xuyang rode a bicycle alone to Zhujiazhuang, looking at the tall and magnificent Zhujiazhuang archway, Li Xuyang sighed, I heard that the people in Zhujiazhuang were very rich before coming, and sure enough, this archway alone has to be tens of thousands!

After a while, a three-horse carriage pulled a black coffin and drove in the direction of Li Xuyang. And before that, Li Xuyang had also called Zhu Junchao and asked him to send someone to pick them up.

"You're the one who sent the coffin, right?" Just when Li Xuyang was looking around to see if Zhu Junchao had sent someone, he suddenly heard such a sentence in his ears.

Fortunately, Li Xuyang has excellent quality in his heart, otherwise he might jump up in fright.

"Ahh Li Xuyang replied to him.

This person is not low-looking, at least about the same height as Li Xuyang, and he looks very similar to his age. Short hair. The long face and eagle nose, the eyebrows are like knives, and the eyes are like falcons, giving people a terrifying feeling. And looking at him, he should be the kind of person who is not good at talking and depressed. He is unsociable and has few friends, so his personality seems to be very withdrawn and independent.

"Excuse me, who are you?" asked Li Xuyang, who kept up with the young man's pace.

"I am the old man's son who asked your family to make a coffin, my name is Zhu Fengchun. Zhu Fengchun replied directly without looking back.

"Ahh......h

"My wife who just passed the door not long ago. Zhu Fengchun replied lightly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, just now" Li Xuyang's words were interrupted by Zhu Fengchun before he could finish speaking.

"It's nothing, you can't be resurrected from death. Zhu Fengchun waved his hand at Li Xuyang, looking very open.

"Where are we going? Why don't we take the road in the village?" Li Xuyang looked around, the more he walked, the more desolate he felt, and Zhujiazhuang was not too big, compared to Xin'an Town, it was still very small. This is not the way into the village, but directly bypasses the village from another road and goes outside the village.

"My home is not in the village, but outside the village. Where to find one of my villas and where we stayed. Zhu Fengchun replied.

After walking for about half an hour, there was indeed a villa built in the wide field. The villa has three floors, the front wall is just over a meter high, and the door is wide, with a new asphalt road leading directly to the front of the gate.

The wall is crawling with flowers and plants that Li Xuyang doesn't know, and the stems of the flowers and plants are also full of thorns, and it is now a hot summer, so there are all kinds of flowers blooming on the wall, and it looks very beautiful from a distance.

The walls of the villa are painted with this white paint, which reflects the white light in the sun, which is very eye-catching.

The whole villa can be described as luxurious and atmospheric. The only fly in the ointment was the death of the white cloth and black cloth flowers that can be seen everywhere in the villa.

"Come in!" Zhu Fengchun took out something similar to a remote control from his pocket, and then pressed it a few times, only to hear the middle of the door coming out, "The password is correct", and then the sound of the door slowly opening automatically.

Li Xuyang was surprised when he saw the villa, so now seeing this is absolutely shocking, unprecedented shock, this door turned out to be with a password, it's so fashionable.

Facing the gate is a small fountain, and at the top of the fountain is a child with a pair of wings on his back and a kettle in his hand, and water is flowing from the spout of the kettle.
