"Gu Qi, shut up for me!"

The elder beside Gu Qi raised his hand and punched him, and then nodded at me.

"Miss Lin, hello, I am Gu Hengyang, the second uncle of the deceased Gu Yan. The matter of Gu Yan's shroud was specially done by my eldest brother to find Lu Blind, and now that the shroud is taken back, it will become a human skin, where is Lu Blind? Only he knows this best. ”

In fact, on the way here, I contacted Lu Blind, but I couldn't get in touch, so I don't know what the specific situation is.

But I went to the shop anyway and checked the list.

The result is right, it is the one I gave to the Gu family.

But it's obviously an ordinary shroud, how can it become human skin?

"What kind of eyes do you have? Do you think that we will use this method to pit you into opening a coffin? ”

Gu Qi's aunt, Gu Lanyu looks good, but what she says is always very unpleasant.

But except for her and Gu Hengyang's father and son, the rest of them were silent, some watched the show, some calculated or something.

In short, the family does not feel kind.

"Uncle Lu is out, I can't get in touch. But since you said that your eldest brother specially ordered it from Uncle Lu, then your eldest brother should also know very well. Didn't you ask? Or call him out, a confrontation, maybe it will be clear. Or, rummage through the surveillance to see if it's been dropped. ”

I thought about all kinds of possibilities, after all, I didn't come here to find trouble, but to solve problems.

"Nope." Gu Hengyang shook his head, "Big brother is not here." I told him about it on the phone, and he told me to solve it myself, so I called you over at night. Miss Lin, I'm sorry for this, but Gu Yan will have a funeral early the next morning, and even if we have time to find someone to make another one, we can't take it off. ”

"What do you mean you can't take it off?"

Gu Qi smiled and squinted, "You'll know when you see it." ”

His words puzzled me, but he still followed him to the edge of the coffin, who expected Gu Qi to suddenly approach my side, cover his mouth with one hand, and say in a low voice with a hint of schadenfreude, "To be honest, I want to try that thing too." ”

I was a little resistant to his familiarity, after all, we didn't know each other, what were we doing so close, so I stood a little to the side, but he leaned over anyway.

Just as I was pondering how to remind him, a hand came in from among us.

"Borrowed."

Lou Zhi was dressed in black clothes and black pants, holding a rope for walking chickens in his hand, and stopped among us with a blank face.

"Who are you?" Gu Qi looked at him, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Boyfriend? Lin Tan, why aren't you single? I still want to chase you. ”

He is outspoken, does not care about other people's feelings at all, and is honestly annoying.

"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about in your fourth brother's mourning hall, let me go out and stay."

"Cut."

Gu Qi glanced at Gu Hengyang, put his hands in his pockets, threw a wink at me, and went to the side.

It was only then that I was able to get close to the coffin.

I was blocked by Gu Qi just now, so I didn't see the coffin and the people inside clearly.

At this moment, the line of sight was clear, and directly opposite was the coffin that the Gu family had built for Gu Yan.

Generally, to make coffins, the most commonly used is fir wood, because the wood is cheap and the price is negotiable.

And the better one is cypress.

On the top, it is the most familiar golden silk nanmu and golden silk sandalwood.

Although people are now buried, and coffins are just a formality, for rich people, what they want is a façade, so it is always the best to use.

For example, Gu Yan's coffin.

It is a high-quality golden silk nanmu.

It is the same as gold sandalwood, but the price is also much different.

The selection of materials for coffins is very important, and the wood that can be used as coffins needs to be corrosion-resistant, and it is also necessary to avoid some yin.

But the color of the coffin, from ancient times to the present, also has some ancient taboos.

The general colors of the coffin are yellow, red, black, gold and white.

The most common is actually yellow, because the price of wood is generally not high, and the meaning is wide.

Unless there is a certain custom, almost all of them are these colors.

After that, it's time for the pattern on the coffin.

Depending on the identity and age of the deceased, the pattern will vary.

I have studied with Lu Blind since I was a child, although I have never made a coffin, but I often give Lu Blind a hand, knowing that now that young people have died, they will never use black gold dragon claw coffins.

Black, in modern times, represents composure and stability, and many places also like to use this color to make coffins.

But in the beginning, the black coffin was prepared for some people who died early and committed suicide.

As for gold, it is the symbol of the noble emperor.

The original color of the golden silk nanmu is yellow with light green, and after oxidation, it will be black.

The family's coffin has a black base and depicts a five-clawed dragon with a gold edge.

The lifelike five-clawed dragon, painted on the wall of the coffin, represents the courage and the high position of power.

Gu Yan, a sick son who lives in a simple family, needs such a big battle?

"Dragon's Claw Coffin." Lou Zhi bent his five fingers against his chin, "The emperor is buried." ”

I frowned.

The emperor's funeral is a funeral that only emperors have.

Ordinary people would never do that.

"Who made this coffin?"

That's what I asked, but I can see that this coffin is some years old, at least a hundred years, and even if someone made it, it wouldn't be modern.

"It's also ordered by my brother." Gu Hengyang didn't seem to understand this, and stepped forward to ask me, "Is there something wrong?" ”

I pursed my lips, not sure whether to say it or not.

"He must know something, this coffin is not a modern product at first glance. Who will draw a dragon on a coffin now? He thought he was the emperor? ”

"Gu Lanyu, shut up for me!" Gu Hengyang couldn't bear to yell at his younger brother, "Take a good look at your woman!" ”

Gu Shuiyang was stunned by the second brother's yellation, so he could only pull his wife and signal her not to speak.

Gu Lanyu snorted and watched the show with her hands.

I didn't answer Gu Hengyang's words, and I didn't want to participate in their conversation, so I stepped forward and looked at the person in the coffin.

Gu Yan, a junior in the Gu family, is the fourth in line.

He was frail and sickly, and his skin was whiter than usual, bloodless.

Now lying in the coffin, next to it is the black and gold coffin wall, and the body is the black shroud.

The endless black, the whiteness of his skin, the whiteness of snow.

Shrouds, most of which are colored blue, brown, and red.

It is painted with a pattern of five bats holding longevity, symbolizing auspiciousness and blessing future generations.

At that time, I took the shroud, and I felt that something was wrong, the shroud was not drawn with five bats holding a longevity picture, but a pattern that I couldn't understand.

Some are like spells.

Spread all over the shroud.

Looks weird.

I don't know why Blind Lu made such a weird shroud and reached into the coffin.

The temperature inside the coffin is warm.

"Warm?"

I originally touched the shroud, but instead touched the inner wall of the coffin.

The walls are pitted, and it seems that some pattern has been carved.

I can't see it because of the light and the angle.

The warmth emanated from the wall of the coffin.

"Who would make such a coffin?"

Cold on the inside and hot on the outside?

This is a pipe characteristic that should not exist from ancient times to the present.

I'm inexplicable.

Thinking of the human skin shroud in their mouths, he touched the surface of the shroud with a finger.

It is slightly cool to the touch, and there is some tactile feeling of pores under the sweat hairs, but it is generally smooth.

Much like human skin.

It's just that the body temperature of ordinary people is missing.

Lou Zhi beside me also stretched out his hand on it, scratched it, and raised his good-looking eyebrows.

"Dead man's skin."

He paused and said, "It won't take more than a day to peel it off." ”

"Are you sure?!"
