After Lao Wang left, I asked my master to ask some of my direct relatives to stay with me in the main room at night. This was not because I was afraid, but because I had to be accompanied by my direct relatives during the night watch, otherwise something would easily happen.

The host called his three brothers, got some mats and put them in the main room, and also brought some melon seeds and fruits and put them there.

That night, the four of us stayed in the main room and took turns sleeping for a while. Nothing strange happened. It was just that at midnight, the temperature in the main room was a little low because the weather turned colder or something, so I didn't care.

The next day, when it was just dawn, I asked my master's family to start building the mourning hall. The master's family also knew the customs, so my three brothers chopped some green bamboo, split it in half, folded it into a semicircle, and hung it on the head of the main door.

There are some cypress branches and lotus flowers folded from white paper.

For the next five days, I stayed in the main room without leaving. During this period, some relatives of the host family came to pay their respects and sent some firecrackers, wreaths, fireworks and other things. I always handed them to those people.

Three pillars of fragrance and some yellow paper make them sincere.

On the sixth day, since I was the one to undertake the funeral, I spent more than 5,000 yuan to invite seven Taoist priests to clear the way for the deceased. When it came to breaking the evil spirit, I was afraid that the situation would happen last time, so I

I personally broke the evil spirits for the deceased. What surprised me was that this time the tile broke with just a light poke. (This is not because I am better than the Taoist priests, but the Taoist priests in the countryside only know the ritual of opening a road, and everything else is

I don’t understand. Some of them don’t even know how to open a road. They are just trying to get money.)

Things went very smoothly these days, but I didn't let this make me careless. No matter what I did, I tried to do my best with etiquette. At about eight o'clock in the evening, Lao Wang came to me with six Eight Immortals and said:

"Jiuyaozi, the tomb has been dug, but there are not enough Eight Immortals, one is missing! What should I do?"

I pointed to myself and said: "Add me, there are exactly eight!" After that, I looked at the Eight Immortals that Lao Wang had brought before, and there were only three familiar faces, and the remaining three had never been seen before. They must not be from our area.

The ones on the ground must have been invited by Lao Wang from other places. I gave them a cigarette and asked them to have a good rest. Tomorrow's coffin may be difficult to carry.

They said that Lao Wang had discussed the pros and cons with them, and that they came to carry the coffin not for money, but for the industry of the Eight Immortals, and they did not want some fake immortals to laugh at us.

Listening to these words, for the first time, I felt a sense of belonging to the industry of the Eight Immortals, for no other reason than because we Eight Immortals dare to carry any coffin. It may seem like a ridiculous sentence, but the meaning behind it is

, laymen will never understand.

Then, I arranged for them to rest on both sides of the coffin, and asked the host to give each of them a handkerchief, a pair of cloth shoes, and a pack of cigarettes. As for the red envelopes, I told them that they would be given afterward.

"Is there really no problem?" Lao Wang asked with concern and said, "You are the one who knows the most among us Eight Immortals. Once something goes wrong, we Eight Immortals will have no hope."

"Well!" I touched the little girl's head and said, "Bring it here, brother, help you glue it on!"

Thinking about the little girl burning the test paper that day, I became playful and asked Lao Wang to sit with the Eight Immortals. I would call him when the coffin was sealed, and then walked over to the little girl.

"Why?" I was a little curious, looked at her strangely, and asked.

When the little girl saw me squatting down, she said pitifully: "Brother, can you help me glue this doll together? I can't fix it no matter what! My father and uncles ignored me. Please help me, okay?"

good!"

After listening to this, I was also drunk. I mourned for Xiaopang for a while in my heart. I didn't expect that much, so I glued the eyes of the rag doll for her, and then chatted with her. I always felt that this child was very funny.

, teasing her can make me feel more cheerful.

Then again, although there are many people, tonight is the most leisurely night. Only when the coffin is sealed in the second half of the night does it become busy. The nerves that have been tense for six days finally relax at this moment.

"What are you doing? Are you in trouble?" I asked, squatting in front of the little girl.

I smiled, took the doll and looked at it for a while, then asked doubtfully: "There is no damage, where do you want to stick it?"

I smiled bitterly. Could it be that the little girl wanted to introduce someone to me? This family is too enthusiastic! I was about to refuse, but the little girl's next sentence made me collapse.

She said: "My sister was driving a BMW at the age of eighteen, and my brother was here carrying a coffin at the age of eighteen!" After she finished speaking, she sighed.

As soon as everything was arranged, Lao Wang hurriedly pulled me out. I asked him what was wrong, and he said, "Jiu Yazi, do you want to die? You are the one who takes care of the funeral, how can you carry the coffin?"

"Yes!" The little girl nodded and sipped my face. "Thank you, brother!" After saying that, she handed me the rag doll and glue in her hand.

"The other day I saw my brother glueing my grandpa's eyes together. It was fun, and I wanted to try it, but...but yesterday I played a game with the fat guy next door and asked him to close his eyes. I poured a lot of glue on his eyes.

But my father beat me up, so I had to try it with a rag doll." She said with a sad face.

I turned around, glanced into the main room, and said, "It's okay. I've done the math for myself, and there's no problem at all!"

I said, don't worry, I am sensible! After saying that, we walked into the main room. Because there was a funeral tomorrow, the relatives of the deceased had to stay in the main room, so the main room was a bit crowded, and there were densely packed people standing there.

As soon as I walked into the main room, I saw a little girl squatting in the corner, glued to something with a frown on her face. I walked closer and saw that it was the little girl who had burned the test paper a few days ago. She was tinkering with a rag doll.

"Eyes!" the little girl said lightly.

The little girl took the doll and smiled with satisfaction and asked: "Brother, how old are you this year?"

I said 18, what's wrong? The little girl stared at my face for a long time and said slowly: "There is a male classmate in my class, and his sister is also 18 years old this year."

For a moment, I didn’t want to talk to her. It hurt my self-esteem too much. Is there anyone who can bury someone like that? And he was ostracized by a little girl. If I tell anyone, I will definitely be laughed to death.

I first wanted to tease her for a while, but I didn't expect that she would play with her instead. I couldn't lose my temper, so I scratched her nose, got up and walked to the master's house. I needed to say hello to him about something.

What I didn't expect was that a few years later, the host family gave me the little girl to take care of for a few days. That time, the little girl almost tortured her and made her go crazy. It was so cheating. However, the little girl also almost went crazy that time.

He died. From then on, I remembered the little girl’s name, Li Shuyan. Of course, these are things for later, so I won’t tell them for now.

When I came to the host's house, his three brothers were arguing with a middle-aged man about something. The two men were so angry and angry that they were about to start fighting.
