Chapter 121 Twin Flowers (26)

I asked Liu Qi to get a phone number. He said that the owner of this number was Chen Daosheng, who was the most famous Eight Immortals in Liuyang Town. He would appear in all funerals in Liuyang Town, and he was more sinister. He often carried the coffin halfway and then asked the owner to add red envelopes, known as Chen Baxian, nicknamed Chen Bapi.

I was a little amused and laughed. This person actually called me the same name. However, in terms of personality, there was a very different difference. At least I couldn't do that unethical thing, but because I was forced to make this call.

I took out my cell phone and called him. The other end of the phone rang for a long time, and an impatient voice came, saying, "Who?"

I hurriedly said, "Hello, I am the Eight Immortals from Dongxing Town. At the invitation of Director Liu Qi, I came to Hehua Village, Liuyang Town to handle the funeral of Liu Jianping's family of three. I will pay a visit to you a pier. I wonder what you think?"

The reason why I am so polite to him is mainly because I have crossed the line and I should try to be polite in my tone.

But I didn't say anything on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone with a bang. I was a little stunned and asked Lao Wang in confusion, "What does he mean?"

Lao Wang said calmly: "He means very clearly, he just doesn't want us to get involved in this matter. Jiujizi, let's go! It's not good to break the rules!"

If it was a normal funeral, I might listen to Lao Wang and leave and let them handle the funeral. But the problem now is that this is not an ordinary funeral at all. More importantly, this matter involves Cheng Xiaocheng.

"I want to stay and finish the funeral." I told Lao Wang my determination.

"Nine-Article"

Liu Qi kept standing beside him and listening. When he heard Gao Lao say this, he took out his pistol and raised it in his hand, saying, "What's the point of making a noise? I'll ask you to hold the funeral. Chen Bapi dared to make trouble, and I shot him." As he said that, he made a shooting move.

Then, I sprinkled some yellow paper on it, which added up to 108 pieces, and then spread a golden quilt on the yellow paper, and then put the body of Liu Jianping's wife in the coffin on the right.

Then, we went to move the bodies of Liu Jianping and his wife. As for the little girl's body, it had been carried away by Fatty Guo and the other three. As for where to bury it, I have no interest in knowing. After all, the corpse of a child is generally not valued. Just bury it, burn some yellow paper and candle ingots.

After saying that, Liu Qi looked at me and asked, "Chen Baxian, I will help you solve other things. If you give me a message, do not do this funeral?"

When Lao Wang and the others saw me agreeing, they shook their heads with a wry smile, and said nothing. I walked up to them, sent a cigarette for each of them, and said, "Lao Wang, Gao, I know you two think we have a fallacy and think I can't take on this funeral. But I have my own bottom line in life. Chen Bapi and others were afraid of carrying corpses, so they almost killed the villagers of Hehua Village for a day and a half. If they were really asked to do this funeral, there would probably be a lot of strange things. We are the Eight Immortals, and we cannot stick to the rules. We should be worthy of the deceased!"

After a while of busyness, some preparations were almost done. I sprinkled some charcoal ash in the coffin and laid it on the bottom, with the purpose of letting it absorb the resentment of the dead. The effect of this charcoal ash is better than that of wood ash, and it is usually used in the coffin of a person who dies in vain.

"Chen Baxian"

Then, we talked a few casually, waved away the unhappiness in our hearts, and focused all our thoughts on this funeral.

After saying this, I looked at them and continued, "Do you two go back to Dongxing Town or stay here to help? No matter how you choose, you are all my elders of Chen Jiu."

After moving the bodies of Liu Jianping and his wife, several villagers came to Hehua Village to help, one of whom was the village chief, expressed his gratitude to us and then became busy in the mourning hall.

After about seven or eight minutes, we used a broom to clean the mourning hall and rinse it with warm water to make the mourning hall as bright as new.

The voices of Lao Wang and Gao Lao sounded at the same time. I hesitated for a while and said, "Don't you think Chen Bapi and the others are unwilling to accept it, so I inserted it in. It's not considered a business robbery, and we have no mistakes. At worst, when carrying the coffin, we will give them a few places. It's impossible that everyone is not allowed to do funerals that they don't do? Could it be that the deceased will lie in the mourning hall for the rest of their lives?"

"Director Liu, we really can't do anything about this funeral..." Before Lao Wang finished speaking, Liu Qi stopped and said, "How can I not know about the little things that you Eight Immortals have reported on Hengyangtai several times. It was placed elsewhere. In Liuyang Town, I, Liu Qi, have the final say."

After hearing this, Liu Qi slapped my shoulder with a palm and said with a smile: "Boy, I admire you very much. The candidate recommended by Lang Gao is indeed right. I thought you were timid and afraid of things and would escape at the last minute!"

"We can't fight Chen Bapi and the others. This is their place. Lao Wang and I discussed it for a while before. We can't handle this funeral. Once it is done, we will have a complete quarrel with the Eight Immortals in Liuyang Town. Lao Wang's words are very right. It's unknown whether we can get out of Liuyang Town." Gao Lao interrupted.

They were stunned for a moment. Old Wang lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, exchanged a look with Mr. Gao, and said, "Just do it, anyway, I'm so old and thick-skinned. Isn't that bad!"

Liu Jianping's body was a little troublesome. I asked Lao Wang and the others to help me first lift his body, and then put his limbs on the corpse as they were. I also combed the intestines in his abdomen again, stuffed them into his stomach, and pulled off the white cloth tied to his neck, for fear of breaking his head, so I asked Lao Wang and the others to hold the dead head with their hands, for fear that he would break it.

After putting the dead body into the coffin, it seemed very simple, but in fact it was so tired that I was exhausted. After finishing all of this, I was already sweating profusely. The sweat penetrated into my wounds, and my whole body was painful and itchy. However, in order for the funeral to go on smoothly, I gritted my teeth and persevered.

As soon as he was finished, Lao Wang looked at me worriedly and said, "Jiu Lizi, Liu Jianping's family died so miserably. Daoism will probably be difficult to deal with later. If you have any physical injuries, please let me and Mr. Gao do it. You are shouting at the side. Do you think it's okay?"

I shook my head and said, "You may not be able to do this person who died in vain. If you accidentally get into the deceased, why should I go back and explain to Aunt Wang if you have something to do? You should go and dig two tombs with Gao Lao and the others first. If there is not enough manpower, please ask the villagers of Hehua Village to help you. Dig two tombs before 5 pm. I will calculate their salary for two days. As for the Eight Immortals who carry the coffin, we will discuss it when lunch is over."
