Chapter 008: Second Uncle is not human
As soon as the suona sounded, the coffin was lifted smoothly.
The second uncle was holding my grandfather's posthumous photo, two steps behind me, and I could feel his eyes staring at me, staring at me deadly.
It's like a knife, in my back, stabbing at me at any moment, making me creep.
The person behind him is not the second uncle.
Even though he looks and speaks very much like the second uncle, he is definitely not the second uncle.
Zhilan recalled last night that her grandfather had no enemies in the village at all, and there was no deep hatred for one life, so her grandfather's death was inseparable from the strange second uncle behind him.
I thought in my heart about how to force this so-called second uncle to show his true colors, and I was distracted for a while, coupled with the rugged changes of the road in the back mountain, I actually took the wrong way to the ancestral grave.
Zhilan sprinkled paper money next to the coffin, seeing that I was walking the wrong way, she walked two steps quickly to catch up with me, and reminded in a low voice: "Brother, you are on the wrong path, turn right and go straight in a while, our ancestral grave is halfway up the mountain." ”
That's when I reacted and nodded.
After coming to the ancestral grave, some villagers had dug the grave, and the grandfather's coffin did not appear anything unusual until it was buried. This made me breathe a sigh of relief, and I was secretly determined to fulfill the promise I had just made for my grandfather.
After the burial, the village rules, in order to thank everyone for their help, usually put a few square tables at home, and put on eight large bowls, and our family is no exception.
Zhilan and I beckoned everyone to eat at home, and everyone didn't excuse themselves. Let's go down the mountain to my house for dinner.
Although Zhilan is more familiar with the affairs of the village than me, but there are some things, I still have to come forward, and she asked the leader of the coffin bearer, I specially reported a few red envelopes, and found this person and he all the way back.
On the way, I chatted: "Uncle, I'm sorry for you this time, this red envelope is a gesture of heart, and I hope to smile." I smiled and handed the red envelope out.
In fact, this is the rule of doing things, and it is not that I am clever.
Li Guofu smiled, accepted the red envelope, and said: "Haha, you kid is polite, you just came back, the people in the village don't know each other, I'm afraid you don't know, your father and I are elementary school classmates, I shouldn't mention it now, your father passed away early, and he couldn't inherit the paper shop, and now that you are back, this good errand can't be missed." “
"When you're in charge, we'll have to take care of each other often."
What he means, I understand, there are two families in the village who make money from the dead, one is the coffin shop, and the other is our paper shop, our Zhao family can be psychic, the yin and yang worlds come and go freely, the prestige in the village is very high, and there is also a little thin face in the netherworld, in the eyes of the people in the village, it is naturally a limitless future.
I wasn't interested in this, I just thought that since I had the chance to stay, I had to accept my fate.
"Uncle, you are a cheerful person, I know what you mean, but I still have a second uncle above, I'm afraid I have to discuss with him more about where to take you with paper."
Since this coffin bearer has been in contact with my family for so many years, he should be able to see that my second uncle is not right, so I look embarrassed and want to lead him to say a few more words.
Li Guofu thought of my second uncle, frowned, and sighed: "Alas, your second uncle, I have done something before, but now, I don't know if it's because I'm old, those three courts and five eyes are getting more and more scathing, like a yellow skin." ”
