Chapter 3: To be dead or not to be dead
Bai Zhou rode his little pink electric donkey and headed towards Lijia Village.
Along the way, she found that the pedestrians on the road had blood bars on their heads, all of which were 20 points, but almost none of them were full, generally 17 or 18 o'clock, and there was an old man with a sick face and a cough, and the blood bar was only 6 points.
Bai Zhou secretly thought that this blood bar should indicate the health status of the human body, but why did she have 10 points more than others?
Is it because of the resurrection from the dead?
Fortunately, Lijia Village was not far away, and when it was just dark, she finally arrived at Li's house.
At this time, the Li family, the mourning hall has been set up, there are white flags hanging in the main hall, and several filial sons have white cloths wrapped around their heads, but they are all smiling, smoking cigarettes and laughing with people.
Sure enough, it is a big "filial piety".
Bai Zhou explained his intention, and Mrs. Li's eldest son's eyes widened: "Why did you send it?" Fortunately, my mother is not dead, if she dies and has no shroud to wear, I will have to smash your shop! ”
Bai Zhou wanted to say that she had made an appointment before dark during the day, but she obviously arrived on time, but when she saw the Li family take out a stack of red tickets, she immediately swallowed back the words behind.
It was the uncle who gave the money.
After receiving the money, Bai Zhou's mood was very good on the return trip, and he made a net profit of 1,000 after this order, saving a little, and there was no problem with half a month's food expenses.
But she soon realized that something was wrong.
She stopped the car and looked up at an old grave on the side of the road.
The area is mountainous, and the villagers are buried on the ridges after they pass away, and there are various graves everywhere along the roadside, and the locals have long been accustomed to it.
This old tomb has no tombstone, it is made of several pieces of bluestone, and a white flag hangs on the head of the tomb, flying in the wind, like a miserable white hand.
That's right! That's it!
She's definitely seen it just now!
A gust of wind blew from nowhere, and she only felt a chill all over her body.
She immediately got on the electric donkey, stepped out of the accelerator, and the wind was galloping, as long as she got out of the village road and got on the main road.
There was only the sound of the wind in her ears, and she saw a light in the distance, and she was a little happy that there was a small shop at the end of the village road, and she was finally going out.
But just as she was about to arrive at the old house, she heard mournful music and the sound of mahjong.
Bai Zhou parked the electric donkey outside the courtyard dam, a little stunned.
Isn't this the Li family?
Why did she come back again?
Before she could come back to her senses, the Li family asked strangely, "Why did you come back?" Then it suddenly dawned, "You're here to sit all night, right?" ”
He immediately became enthusiastic, pulled her into the courtyard, and brought her to the tables.
Behind the table sat two people, one writing accounts and the other counting money.
According to the rules, after the death of the elderly, they should stop for three days, and relatives and friends should come to sit for the night, and of course, they should also follow the group.
Bai Zhou was reluctant to pay for it, and couldn't help asking, "The old lady just left?" ”
The Li family smiled: "I haven't left yet, but it's fast." ”
Bai Zhou was speechless.
Before you lose your breath, you start to sit all night, you just want to find a way to play mahjong, right?
She looked at the relatives and friends who were playing mahjong all over the yard, and it could be said that she was "filial".
She turned her head to look at the dark village road again, and remembered the ghostly old grave, and she really didn't want to go again, so she gritted her teeth, took out three hundred, thought about it, and took back another hundred.
Anyway, we'll talk about it at dawn.
Bai Zhou doesn't know how to play mahjong, sitting in the courtyard and eating melon seeds while being stunned, the surroundings are in full swing, but he has a sense of security.
Suddenly, the son of the Li family came over and said politely: "Little girl, you made the shroud, you must be familiar with it, can you trouble you to come over and help the old woman put on her clothes?" ”
Bai Zhou asked, "The old lady is gone?" ”
"Not yet, isn't it afraid that the body will be hard and difficult to wear later."
Bai Zhou was completely speechless, how much do you want the old lady to die.
Although she complained in her heart, in line with the principle that after-sales service should be in place, she still followed the Li family to the backyard.
Compared with the lively front hall, the backyard was surprisingly quiet, the lights were on in the wings, and as soon as he entered the door, Bai Zhou smelled a rancid smell.
It was the smell of a long-term bedridden and old flesh.
The old lady on the bed had her eyes closed, her face was like gold paper, and there was a blood bar floating on her head, and only 1 point remained.
Bai Zhou was stunned, because there were still words under the blood bar.
"Miao Jinhua is out of oil, and the lamp is dry, and there is only 1 hour, 16 minutes and 32 seconds left in Shouyuan."
Soon it jumped to 31 seconds, 30 seconds......
Bai Zhou was shocked, can he still see the countdown of Shouyuan?
Then if she can't open a shroud shop, she can still tell fortunes.
But people who are dying don't need fortune telling, right?
"Xiao Sleeve, this girl is from a shroud shop, I asked her to help you." The Li family said.
Only then did Bai Zhou realize that there was a young girl in the house, a few years older than her, with red eyes and a haggard face.
"Okay, uncle." Xiao Sleeve wiped the corners of his eyes and squeezed out a smile.
Bai Zhou thought to himself that this was a serious family.
