072: Inside the Coffin
To say that this big family is indeed more magnificent than ordinary people.
After crossing the threshold, what Gu Changsheng saw was not the main hall, but a spacious open-air platform. The place is placed with mountains and rocks and green water, and the ground is embedded with stone slabs, and a small pit platform for viewing the scenery is made vividly.
If you want to go straight to the inside of the gate, you need to go around to the sides and circle around the open-air platform.
Gu Changsheng came back to his senses slightly at this moment, and he also heard the buzzing thunder overhead. When he looked again, he saw the rain pouring down.
The ceiling on this top is also exquisite, as if to reflect the viewing platform below, a square pit is buckled out, and at the same time, it is also made low and curved, and then plays the role of roof drainage.
The rain that fell on the house collided and mingled. The drops tumbled down the river, down the long waterway, and finally fell between the pits.
In this way, the entire observation deck is covered with a layer of mist. Such a foggy and hazy appearance, now it seems that Gu Changsheng is a little distracted.
It's a bit of a 'sense of luxury'.
Outside, there were rattling raindrops.
Inside was a hazy mist of water.
One and two complement each other, blending with each other, and it seems to be more harmonious and novel.
Fortunately, Gu Changsheng is not a serious country scholar, and now he stood still and sighed for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. Laughing twice at Li An in front of him, Gu Changsheng opened his mouth to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Brother Li, if you don't pay attention, I'll be fascinated......
"Hehe, it's out of the way. This observatory is one of my grandfather's favorite places when he was alive, and if it rains on weekdays, he likes to sit at the east entrance, take advantage of the cool breeze, watch the rain and dew, and think about the past......
Li An's face showed a little melancholy, but he quickly recovered. He shook his head and led Gu Changsheng through the threshold again and into the second room.
Now that I'm here, it's still not as good as the meeting room. Gu Changsheng looked around, and could see that there were aisles on the left and right sides, and when he looked inside, the outlines of the rows of bungalows were also distinct.
"Little Brother Gu, these two sides are where the Zong family lives, and there is a room on the left, and there is a lot of smoke and fire over there, so it's best not to come over and take a look."
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng nodded, and immediately withdrew his gaze - from the entrance, until here, there is now a distance of dozens of meters.
而这般的宽阔地,若是寻常普通人,怕是并排造出三栋平屋来,都得是绰绰有余了。
Should it be said or not.
Throughout the ages, the characteristics of this rich man's 'luxury' have really remained unchanged at all.
After following Li An through the threshold again, Gu Changsheng looked intently, and finally saw where the main hall was.
I saw a tall and big sect in front, and the beams and pillars about eight meters high supported the high house, lining the wide main hall of dozens of meters.
Gu Changsheng saw the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the middle, he couldn't taste any of these things, so he glanced at them and turned his head.
The main hall is now full of people.
On the left and right sides stood groups of relatives surnamed Li, who were now muttering something in a low voice with red eyes. In the center was a coffin held up by a wooden chair, surrounded by three people.
Seeing Li An coming inside, one of them turned around, his eyes looked at Gu Changsheng for a while, and his face was a little more surprised.
How did a beggar-like man get in?
Thanks to Li An's explanation, Gu Changsheng was able to get his approval, and then he was close enough to the wooden coffin.
It was close to the ground, and the crowd that had been whispering incessantly was also silent. They all raised their heads and were staring towards Gu Changsheng.
The battle is not small.
If it was Gu Changsheng in the past, he would have to be nervous for a while.
But today, Gu Changsheng has long been completely accustomed to this level of pressure. He smiled generously and nodded, and walked briskly forward.
It's close.
It's closer.
Gu Changsheng finally stood in front of the wooden coffin, lowered his eyes, and finally stared in front of him.
I saw a straight figure lying in the coffin.
He was dressed in a black official uniform, with his feet together and his hands staggered over his stomach. The skin outside was already a miserable white, and there was no trace of blood to be seen.
It's no wonder that, after all, according to Ang Lee, it's been dead for a long time......
Gu Changsheng's gaze turned, as if he was looking for something, he looked from the bottom up for a while, and finally he could see the appearance of this great old man clearly.
The long face, wrinkles, shriveled heads, and even the head with the marks of the press have been highlighted are Gu Changsheng's first impressions.
I can barely see that this old man should be relatively kind when he was alive.
Gu Changsheng stood still on the side now, twitching his nose slightly along with the cool breeze brought by the shower, and finally smelled some familiar smell.
Well......
It's really starting to rot.
But this Li family's clan should have taken some measures, otherwise, according to this weather, even if it is crawling with maggots now, it is not too much to be gnawed on the ground beyond recognition.
Gu Changsheng met everyone's gaze, nodded pretendedly, and then groped in the medicine box he carried with him - this thing was Yan Ping's equipment, Gu Changsheng just listened to it on the road for a while, and it was actually the first time to get started.
But it's not too strange to really use it. He fumbled for a small white bottle, only to see Gu Changsheng shake his backhand, and it was a white powder that fell into half a palm.
He smeared it one by one on the eldest man's neck, elbows, and ankles. Now I've been fiddling left and right for a while, and I don't seem to be serious.
In the end, more than a moment later, this was considered to be done, and he breathed a sigh of relief - Li An, who was standing next to him, stepped forward in time, and now looked at the little grandfather in the coffin, and couldn't help but ask.
"Little Brother Gu, what did you get?"
"I just smeared some lime powder on the old man. It stands to reason that this thing is not needed when it is dry and dry...... But now the rain is coming, and the earth is damp, and all at once the house is moistened."
Gu Changsheng smiled shyly, and now he rolled up his sleeves and clapped his hands gently, throwing off most of the powder in his palm.
Rao is Gu Changsheng didn't understand these medical knowledge, but he failed to fall behind in compulsory education in his previous life. Lime powder is sometimes wrapped in a bag and placed in a corner in some storehouses, which then acts as a 'preservative'.
Among them, the use of water absorption energy.
"When a corpse touches the water, it will rot faster. I put lime powder on it, so that it can absorb some moisture, so that the old man will not be rotten, and his makeup will not be ruined."
There is actually some truth to this.
Because if you really want to preserv, you have to 'soak' the whole person into it, just like cured meat, then it can be considered effective.
It's just a symbolic little bit like this, and it's just a peace of mind......
Thanks to these people from the sect who didn't understand these doors, now when they heard this, they had to nod their heads in agreement, and thanked Gu Changsheng repeatedly.
After all, wild doctors can still have this kind of ability, which many people didn't expect.
After dealing with these things, outside the threshold, someone shouted out, causing everyone in the room to get up and rush towards the door.
Li An was at the end and said with a smile at Gu Changsheng.
"Little Brother Gu, dinner has been prepared over there, if it is convenient for you, you can also come with us?"
On the night of the seventh-day return of the soul, relatives waited in the house for the deceased to return to visit their relatives. Usually at this time, relatives who come from afar will also take advantage of this opportunity
, have dinner with relatives who haven't seen you for a long time, and talk about what happened in recent days.
Gu Changsheng couldn't find a reason to shirk for the time being, so he had to respond with a smile. He was about to close the medicine box and prepare to leave together, but before he could take two steps, his eyes swept over, but he landed on the side of the living room.
It was originally full of people, so that Gu Changsheng couldn't see the appearance of the wall clearly. Now the crowd is empty, but it is also homeopathic, leaking out the things placed behind it.
It's all wreaths, white paper ties, and some things for mourning and worship. These things are naturally not new, just ......
When Gu Changsheng saw the words on it.
The whole person was stunned.
He couldn't walk anymore, and his eyes were slightly round. Even his mouth was half open, and at this moment, he let out a surprised low cry.
"This ......"
Li An, who was walking in front, heard the movement, turned around, and saw Gu Changsheng standing still.
"Little Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
Following the question, Gu Changsheng raised his head. His expression was strange and abnormal at this moment, and now he glanced at Li An and asked out loud.
"Labor, labor...... Brother Li, I want to ask, this old man...... Your name?"
The latter thought that there was some accident, but now when he heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Oh, you're curious about this? Hehe, although my little grandfather is a relative of my Li family, he lost his father when he was young, and he was later brought up by his mother, so his surname follows his mother's ......."
"His name is Zhao Xiao'an."
Zhao Xiaoan!
Hearing these three big words, Gu Changsheng seemed to have been struck by lightning. His whole body trembled slightly, his eyes widened by half a circle, and even his breathing was three points thicker.
This person lying in the coffin, he is Zhao Xiaoan?!
Although Gu Changsheng was stunned at this moment, in an instant, he also completely recalled all the information he had obtained before.
Red Er left this specific message by controlling voles.
'The heart of the snake is hidden, hard to find. "
'I'll sneak in first, and I might miss. "
'Clues. "
'Male, in his early twenties. "
'Name, Zhao Xiao'an. "
