Chapter 51: Bluestone Town (7)

"You are older than Xie An, but you are not as calm as him, do you have the share of a junior to speak on this occasion?"

Guo Yuda's expression froze for a moment, and he scolded in his heart, old thing, and teach Lao Tzu a lesson.

Can Xie An's little white face not be calm? The special pestle was watching the play there, and he didn't take the opportunity to use his identity to ask for some information, so he just wanted to wait for them to ask.

Under the auspices of the clan elders, several big men carefully lifted the body from the four corners around the body,

"One, two, three......"

Their hands were forcefully revealed, and strangely, the corpse was only half the height of a palm.

Old Master Xie's eyes suddenly opened again, and the young man who was raising his head shook his hand, almost relieved of his strength, "Clan, clan elder......"

"What are you afraid of, your own parents!" The old man of the Xie clan scolded and sighed, "He has a grudge in his heart!" ”

"According to the rules, you should stop for 7 days, and you can only enter the coffin when you choose a good day, Xinxiang, we don't want to carry you out in a hurry, there is no way now."

The voice of the elder Xie clan was old and full of energy, "All the people who wear filial piety stand up and call him together, so that Xinxiang can go with peace of mind!" ”

Jiang Qi just stood over, I don't know who squeezed him to the front next to Xie Chaoci, and the two of them mixed together in the crowd of cries and shouts.

Suddenly it darkened outside, dark clouds obscured the sky, thunder roared, and lightning pierced the sky.

After only a dozen seconds, the torrent-like rain fell.

Seven or eight men in short shirts shouted slogans and lifted Master Xie's body up.

"Master...... housekeeper shouted loudly, tears streaming from his eyes, "you can go!" ”

Boom Boom –

The rain was carried into the mourning hall by the wind, and the white lantern at the door was almost blown off, and the white cloth in the mourning hall floated into the air, and there seemed to be a resentful cry in the wind.

The paper piercing man and the wreath fell to the ground, and the ground by the threshold was wet, and the straw and yellow paper money on the ground were also wet.

The people standing outside the door and watching were looking for a place to shelter from the rain, Fang Yuan held on to the door frame, his back was soaked, and he looked in solemnly to find Jiang Qi's figure.

Steward Yu wiped his tears and instructed the people below to quickly move the candles and lanterns back, and his voice was hoarse.

The mournful cries spread from the mourning hall to the courtyard walls, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

Jiang Qi stood on the edge of the coffin, looking at the man carrying the corpse and the people around him who were crying with filial piety, and a trace of pain flashed in his expression.

Similar Scenes...... At that time, it was also a sudden rainstorm, and the mourning hall made of plastic sheets leaked, and the wind was too strong, and the water on the ground poured in at once.

She hurriedly picked up the piles of paper money and candles on the ground and placed them on the stool, unable to distinguish where the rain was and where the tears were on her face.

Stubbornly using his body to block the plastic sheet blown away by the wind, not letting the rain wet the urn, looking at the people in the black and white photos, as if this would make up for something.

But she knew in her heart that it was too late.

No matter what you do, it's late, and you can't go back to the last time you can get along with you no matter what, you just make yourself feel better.

Until now, Jiang Qi can't forget that in the crematorium, he watched his grandmother being pushed into that room.

Since then, she has been the only one left in the family.

"Jiang Qi." Xie Chaoci on the side bent his back, a pair of dark eyes looked at her with inquiry, and his voice was extremely soft, "Are you okay?" ”

Jiang Qi opened his mouth slightly and gasped lightly, calmed down, put away the gaffes and all emotions on his face, and said calmly, "It's okay." ”

Master Xie's body was finally lifted into the coffin, and several men who carried the body breathed a long sigh of relief,

People become heavier after death, but they can never be so heavy, as if ......

Something was pressing on Master Xie, not wanting them to carry the body into the coffin.

The corpses were carried by men with strength and courage, and it was not the first time they had come to help in white matters, but they had never encountered such a strange thing.

"Cover the coffin—seal the nail—"

With the order of the clan elder, the big man lifted the lid of the coffin and put it on the coffin in a cry.

The coffin made of fine wood was very heavy even though the lid was heavy, but they carried it much easier than before.

There are seven nails in total, all of which were prepared yesterday.

This should have been done by the master who watched the Yin House, but the Xie family only stopped for a day, and the coffin was to be sealed temporarily, and the master who invited him didn't have time to rush to Qingshi Town, so the carpenter in the town did it.

The master carpenter took the axe wrapped in red cloth and struck the nail one by one, and said in his mouth, "When the day is auspicious, the heaven and earth will be opened, and the coffin will be ......"

The last nail is driven in, the copper coin is hung, and the carpenter ties the black ink fountain line, and the coffin is covered with cloth.

[Collected Main Story - Sealed Coffin]

Outside, the rain was getting lighter, the sky was cloudy, and the raindrops were sparsely falling from the eaves.

The servants of the Xie family began to rearrange the decorations in the mourning hall, and the clan elder stood in the middle of the crowd, facing Xie Chaoci and Steward Yu,

"Originally, after sealing the coffin today, I would immediately get up and bury him, but with such a heavy rain, the road on the mountain is slippery, and it is easy to have an accident, wait for another day, and the funeral will be on time tomorrow morning, things are in a hurry, and those who should be simple will be simplified."

The relatives next to him and the man who will carry the coffin tomorrow all nodded in response.

The clan elder said to Steward Yu again, "I have to go to the other two to have a look, and I will leave it to you and Xie An here, Xie An is still young and has no experience in doing things, so you need to worry more." ”

"Clan Elder, don't worry, I will arrange things." Steward Yu said respectfully,

"I'm sorry for you to leave this trip today, or we really don't know what to do, and when the family affairs are done, the young master and I will come to thank you again."

Sending off the clan elders, Steward Yu wrapped red envelopes for the man and carpenter who helped just now, and began to lay out tomorrow's process.

The carpenter first looked up at the mourning hall, then looked at Xie Chaoci, and said earnestly, "You have to guard it tonight, and it will be fine if you can pass, if you ......"

At this point, he stopped talking, sighed and walked out, as if he was hiding from something.

Jiang Qi glanced at Wang Yue behind him, hooked the corner of his lower lip meaningfully, and then withdrew from the mourning hall without squinting.

Fang Yuan had already come to the outside of Xie Mansion to wait for Jiang Qi, they didn't communicate the whole time, but Fang Yuan had guessed what Jiang Qi was going to do next just now.

"That Wang Yue, can you stop them?" Fang Yuan looked behind Jiang Qi,

"It's okay for a short time." The corners of Jiang Qi's mouth pulled up slightly,

"Everyone is not stupid, they can't do it, and they don't think about the importance of the carpenter as an NPC, the carpenters in the past were very respected in the villages and towns, and they all knew a little bit about it."

Wang Yue only needs to stop for a while.

"Sister Qi, how can you be sure that Wang Yue will definitely help us?"

"He's not helping us, he's not having a choice."

Jiang Qi walked all the way and trotted all the way, catching up with the back of the master carpenter, "Master, wait a minute......"
