Chapter 16 False Immortal
Chapter 16 Fake Immortal
Seeing me coming, the two groups stopped fighting. The three brothers of the host family smiled awkwardly. The host family said: "Chen Baxian, why are you here? The three of us brothers can solve this problem."
After six days of getting along with each other, the name the three brothers of my master’s family used to address me also changed. From you before, I became you. This makes me feel more useful. Who doesn’t want to be respected by others?
I took a look at the middle-aged man. He was wearing an old uniform and had a tall, thin body. He had a thick beard on his long, thin face, and his face looked sickly and pale.
Before I could speak, a middle-aged man stepped forward and pushed me and said, "You're the one stealing our business, right?"
I thought to myself that this middle-aged man must be the fake immortal of Li Village, right? It's not an option if we start a quarrel here, and there are few of us Eight Immortals. If we really start a quarrel with the people in this village, we will definitely suffer.
A good man doesn't want to suffer the consequences, so I took a few steps back and ignored him. Instead, I looked at the master's house and said, "Go and prepare the bedding for your children and grandchildren, eight taels of rice, and seal the coffin at three o'clock."
"Okay." The host nodded, agreed, and prepared to leave. Li Jianmin and Li Jianguo looked at each other, followed in the footsteps of the host, and left.
I was about to leave when the middle-aged man stretched his body in front of me, pushed me again, and said, "You are looking for death? How dare you ignore me."
"What do you want?" I glanced at him and said lightly.
"Since the establishment of the village, our Li Village has been a large village with enough labor force. We have not asked outsiders to carry the coffin. You'd better give up the job of carrying the coffin to the people of the village. Otherwise, you will never be able to carry the coffin out of the main house." Middle-aged
The man sneered and continued: "You don't have to believe my words, you can try it at three o'clock!"
"It's useless for you to discuss this matter with the master. It's useless to make noise with me?" I said lightly. I didn't take his threat seriously. I had heard about Licun's savagery a long time ago. Now that I saw it, it was true.
The rumors are not bad.
After taking care of all this, I found a seat at the head of the coffin and sat down with my eyes slightly closed, waiting for the coffin to be sealed at three in the morning. The six days of hard work made me extremely tired and I just closed my eyes.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Really?" I didn't believe what he said at all. I've learned very clearly about the temperament of the three brothers in the master's family these days, and they don't look like capricious villains.
"Those three cowards have already agreed, now it's up to you to nod!" The middle-aged man smiled proudly and said to me in a provocative tone: "I agree or disagree, just one sentence! If you agree, we Li Cun will accept it."
If you don’t agree to it, just leave the coffin here so that no one can carry it!"
They all nodded in unison and said, "It must be carried by us!"
Seeing that I didn't believe it, the middle-aged man shouted outside the hall, "Li Hazi, you seven come in! People from other villages are trying to steal business."
After the quarrel subsided, the three brothers of the host family came over and asked me, "If I were to carry it to them, what would Lao Wang and the others do?"
"Nonsense, we are holding a funeral for our master, carrying the coffin, not fighting. Why do you call so many people? Fight? Show off your power? Send them back quickly, I will take care of this!" I got angry at Lao Wang, they were like this
What do the fake immortals in Li Village think when there is a commotion? There is no doubt that they must think that so many of us Eight Immortals are here to fight.
The Eight Immortals knew that it would be difficult to carry the coffin this time, so they were a bit shameless towards the host's family, saying that the host's family was irresponsible. I comforted them with a few words, gave them an extra 100 yuan each, and asked them to wait outside the village for news about me.
Just in case, Lao Wang also asked Lao Wang to invite the arrogant woman from our village to calm down the shrew from Li Village.
As the funeral director, I definitely didn’t want the Eight Immortals to quarrel with the fake immortals in Licun, so I had to step back and ask them to stop making noise, and said to the middle-aged man: “Are you sure you want to support me?”
Lao Wang smiled and said: "The Eight Immortals were not convinced when they heard that our business was robbed in Licun, and they all came to give us strength!"
"They want to come on their own, and there's nothing I can do about it!" Lao Wang muttered to the side.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the three brothers of the master's family and Lao Wang standing in front of me. Seeing that I was awake, Lao Wang spoke first, "Jiuyaozi, I brought them here, and also called a dozen more Eight Immortals!"
I asked them not to get involved in this matter, and just prepare the coffin sealing and funeral materials. They didn't say anything else, but told us not to make too much trouble, otherwise it would be difficult for them to behave.
I know very well what he said. He just told me that the grudges between the Eight Immortals and the Fake Immortals should not be involved in the main family. They are from the same village, and we are invited by them. The two groups are really
If they want to cause trouble, it will definitely be difficult for them. They can't help anyone. If they help us, they will offend the fake immortals in this village. If they help the fake immortals, they will offend us Eight Immortals. So, he made it clear to me, and I believe he will also
Let’s make things clear to the fake fairy in Licun.
His voice not only summoned seven people, but also alerted the Eight Immortals and a group of relatives. The whole scene became a bit chaotic. The most taboo thing about funerals is making noise, but almost every funeral in rural areas will cause noise. As for the reasons, most of them are
They are very similar, except that some etiquette is not thorough, the etiquette is too heavy and the etiquette is too little, and the coffin bearers are selected.
In rural areas, some men will try to reason with you, but those women will scold them regardless of whether they are reasonable or not. Some women who are extremely aggressive will even reach out and touch their lower bodies a few times, and then slap the man with a palm.
In their words, hitting someone like this is the most vicious. Although there is no basis for it, this is what men in rural areas are most afraid of. That’s why I asked Lao Wang to invite Widow Liu.
I was stunned and didn't understand what he meant, so I asked, "Why are you bringing so many people?"
"Let them go. No matter what method you use, ask them to go! We can't be unfair, otherwise when we get to the police station, we will be the ones who are wrong and waiting to be jailed?" I stood up and cursed at Lao Wang.
"Okay, I'll let you carry it!" I agreed to their request. What Lao Wang and the other Eight Immortals wanted to say, I gave up and said, "Let them carry it, I have a sense of propriety!"
I don’t know how long I slept for, but I felt my body being shaken, “Chen Baxian, it’s almost time, wake up!”
"Yes, yes, if we start a fight and go to the police station, everyone's faces will look bad!" The three brothers of the host family stood by and agreed with my words.
"Then if there's a fight, we Eight Immortals are just you and me, why don't we let them beat us to death!" Lao Wang gave me an unconvinced look.
"Since we have chosen the profession of the Eight Immortals, what does it matter if we get beaten up? Even if we are really beaten by the people of Licun, will the master watch? Hurry, ask them to leave, and remember one thing, if we start a fight in Licun, that is
We are in the wrong!" When I mentioned the word "Licun", I winked at Lao Wang. The meaning was very clear. Don't let them stay in the village. Just stay outside the village. Once a fight breaks out, they will come over.
It's not too late to help.
In this way, even if the trouble goes to the police station, we will be responsible. Why? The first thing the police station usually asks is, who made the move first? There are only two of us, and anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that it was definitely not us.
