Chapter 536: Bury her
"Nana, do you have a cold?" Ji Xiaoyue said and looked at the gloomy sky, took off the cloak on her body and draped it on Tao Nai's shoulders, "I see that the weather here is a little strange, it's better to wear more clothes, otherwise it will be very troublesome if you get sick in the dungeon."
Facing Ji Xiaoyue's concern, Tao Nai smiled sweetly: "I'm fine, maybe someone was talking about me just now."
Thinking of the reaction of the people around her when she got the key just now, she really felt that the pressure was not ordinary.
"Let's go, it seems to be getting dark here very quickly, we have to rush to Huo's house after dark." Bo Jue sat in a wheelchair, and before leaving, he turned his head to look at Jie Yu uneasily: "Jie Yu, Liu Xiangu's body will be handed over to you, you have to be careful, once there is any discomfort in your body, you must say it as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, as long as this old woman doesn't cheat the corpse." Jie Yu has long been accustomed to dealing with corpses, and said with a relaxed face.
Only then did everyone set off and walked towards the Huo family.
After walking out of the inn, Tao Nai found that the background of this copy was very exquisitely constructed, completely ancient background, even the streets were antique, and the street vendors set up stalls, selling some simple food, looking steaming.
Smelling the aroma of the food, Taunai only felt his index finger move, and a gurgling sound came from his stomach.
Because Tao Nai's hungry movement was too big, it attracted the attention of others at once.
She lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "I didn't eat this morning, and I'm a little hungry."
"Little Er, one bowl of wontons per person." Shang Ming immediately stopped, he didn't know where he conjured up a money bag, and directly threw a piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper rarely saw such a generous guest, and he couldn't stop smiling: "Okay, all the guest officers hurry up and sit down, and the villain will go and prepare!"
"Aren't you in a hurry to go to Huo's house?" Qu Yanyan glanced at Jieyu, who had already sat down, and said incredulously, "There is also an old woman's charred corpse here, can you eat it?"
Tao Nai saw that Qu Yanyan kept looking at herself when she spoke, and said softly, "Shang Ming, I'm fine, I can bear with it a little longer." And where did you get the money?"
"I found it from Boss Wang just now." Shang Ming pulled away from the position next to him and glanced at Tao Nai, "I'm hungry, sit down and wait for me."
Tao Nai sat down obediently, she was still uncomfortable with Qu Yanyan's eyes, but when the fragrant wontons were brought to the table, her scruples immediately disappeared, and she picked up the spoon and ate it.
The others didn't refuse, and walked down to eat the steaming wontons before continuing on their way.
Before the sky was completely dark, Tao Nai and the others finally came to the gate of the Huo family and stood still.
The plaque in front of the door is impressively written with the two big characters 'Huo Zhai', and two fiery red lanterns are hung on both sides of the plaque, and the fire light emitted from it is very dim, as if it will be extinguished as long as a gust of wind blows.
Looking up at the closed vermilion gate, Tao Nai's mind uncontrollably appeared with the images of the deep mansion compound seen in the TV series.
Xiong Jie stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened a crack, and a sallow-faced housekeeper poked his head out of the crack in the door, observed everyone and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
"Hello, is it Liu Xiangu's hometown, the Huo family? Liu Xiangu died in an accident, and this time we brought her body to bury her." Bo Du smiled a friendly smile at the vigilant Jiading.
"Liu Xiangu...... She's finally dead?" Jia Ding slowly spit out Liu Xiangu's voice, which concealed a bit of gnashing of teeth.
"What you said is not very good, if the relationship between Liu Xiangu and your Huo family is not good, we can also leave now." Bo Jue's face was gloomy, and he stared at this famous family and said.
The family only observed the crowd for a while, and then pushed open the door: "Although Liu Xiangu has done some wrong things, she has arrived
In the end, it is still the people of our Huo family, and our Huo family pays attention to the return of fallen leaves to the roots, Liu Xiangu's body must be buried in the ancestral hall, you come in."
After Tao Nai and the others entered the Huo family, they found that the Huo family was dark and cloudy, and everywhere seemed to be reluctant to light the lamp, and there was only one light source, that is, the red lantern in the hand of the family.
Moreover, there was no wind tonight, but the candlelight in the red lantern kept shaking, flickering and dimming, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.
"Why don't you light up here? Look at the gloomy one." Luo Mianmian looked dissatisfied, and then hugged his arms tightly: "And it's so cold here."
Listening to Luo Mianmian's words, Tao Nai couldn't help but rub his hands.
As Luo Mianmian said, the entire Huo family gave people an eerie feeling, especially after entering the door, the temperature around them dropped suddenly, making Tao Nai almost feel that his whole person was about to be frozen into a popsicle.
Jia Ding lowered his head and said slowly, "Our Huo family firmly believes that light will dispel the souls of the dead, and our Huo family has been blessed by the souls of our ancestors for generations, so we can't use lights to isolate the souls of those dead, which will bring us disasters. Ladies and gentlemen, the ancestral hall is here, please follow me."
Following in the footsteps of the family, Tao Nai walked all the way along the corridor, and vaguely felt that the Huo family was richer than she imagined.
She couldn't figure it out, why did Liu Xiangu be such an aunt and grandmother in a deep mansion compound, but she had to go to Tianchi Inn to do some rough work?
Moreover, listening to what this family member said just now, Liu Xiangu seemed to have made some mistake, so she was kicked out, and because of this mistake, even a family member of the Huo family was very dissatisfied with her, let alone the rest of the Huo family.
In this case, what did Liu Xiangu do that could not be forgiven?
There were too many questions accumulated in his mind, and while Tao Nai was thinking, he suddenly heard the family in front of him speak again.
"The coffin has been prepared in the ancestral hall, you only need to put Liu Xiangu's body in it, burn paper money and incense for her, and then read the Huo family rules in the ancestral hall to Liu Xiangu three times, and you can be buried. During this period, you must cover Liu Xiangu's face with yellow paper, otherwise the ceremony may fail." The guild said in a gentleman's tone.
"Wait a minute, Liu Xiangu is from your Huo family, why do you want us to bury her? Shouldn't this be something your Huo family do?" Xiang Qiu saw that his family was leaving, and a puzzle appeared in his eyes.
After listening to Xiang Qiu's words, his eyes were still faint, and he left the ancestral hall directly.
"Don't chase it." At this time, Shang Ming suddenly spoke, stopping the others from wanting to chase after the family.
"Do what he says." Shang Ming said, looking at the moon above his head, and his voice was a little colder: "Speed up, we probably have less than half an hour left before the moon reaches the center of the sky, and we must complete the ritual by then."
Shang Ming's words made everyone nervous, and they all entered the ancestral hall without saying a word.
