Chapter 18 Kneeling
Chapter 18 Kneel down
I had always been worried that something would happen to the coffin, but I didn’t expect something to happen at this time. I turned my head and looked at the host’s house, and saw his mouth trembling as he said, “Something… something happened, the coffin can’t be lifted!”
"What's going on?" I asked him.
"You will know after you go over and take a look." He pulled me towards the coffin.
When they came to the coffin, they saw the eight fake immortals exerting all their strength to suck milk, while the coffin fell quietly to the ground, motionless.
"Made, if you don't believe I can't lift it, let's all try our best together." The middle-aged man in the lead cursed: "One, two, three, lift it!"
The eight fake immortals tried their best to carry the coffin again, but the coffin still remained motionless. The middle-aged man cursed: "Mad, what a ghost, come again!"
"Chen Baxian, what should I do? Will it delay the auspicious time?" the host asked anxiously from the side.
I chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there's still some time before the auspicious time. Let them suffer a little first so that they won't make trouble!" As I said that, I walked over, intending to give them "Cheer up, come on!"
"What's going on? Eight big men can't lift a coffin, so all the strength is on the women?" I stood next to the coffin and said with a smile.
"Made, brothers, try your best, don't let people from other villages see the joke!" The middle-aged man glared at me and shouted towards the fake fairies.
"Okay!" When the host said this, he seemed to have made a lot of determination. He immediately took his other two brothers and knelt down towards Li Hazi and said, "Old Li, we have been in the same village for so many years.
I, Li Jiandang, have never begged you. Today is the day of my father’s funeral. I beg you to be merciful and let Lao Wang and the others carry the coffin. I will give you a penny of your wages.”
I shrugged and said, "Do you think I have that ability?"
"Let Lao Wang carry it, otherwise I will not be responsible for anything that happens!" I made it clear directly. I didn't want to get in touch with them because I saw that the host family was a little anxious nearby. After all, a funeral is a big event, so what happened?
Not good.
To be honest, I am a common man with a flat head. It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid after hearing this. However, considering the kind of fate of the deceased, I will never allow them to fool around, so I told the owner: "Let him
Come on, I don’t believe there is no law in this world!”
With that said, Li Hazi turned to look at a thin middle-aged man and said: "Monkey, call my nephew and tell him that his uncle is about to be beaten to death and ask him to bring more people from the police station!
"
"What should we do? We can't put the coffin in the main room, right?" The host glanced at Li Hazi and stayed on the coffin for a while, as if he thought of something, and his tone was a bit pleading, "Please accept this funeral.
Don’t give up halfway.”
"Yes, you should use force. How can you lift it without using force?" I said tepidly from the side.
"Don't worry, I have my own way! The premise is that these fake immortals have to be driven away, otherwise it will be very difficult!" I don't mean to make things difficult for the master, but these fake immortals are really in the way here, and they may still do it.
Make some noise.
"This is not a matter of money, but the village has never asked outsiders to carry a coffin for many years. You are breaking the village's rules!" Li Hazi's tone was a little soft, perhaps because he saw the three brothers of the master's family kneeling on the ground.
I didn't feel much when I heard this. I just felt that Li Hazi was talking a lot. But the host's expression changed drastically. He first asked Li Hazi to wait, then pulled me and said, "Can you
Let them carry the coffin away? With Li Hazi’s nephew here, it will be difficult to handle!”
Seeing this scene, I felt bad. This is the helplessness of rural people. I immediately walked over, helped the three brothers of the host family up, and said to Li Hazi: "I didn't touch the coffin, and you don't need to scream."
Lang Gao brings people here, if you really want to lift him, there are ways, but if anything happens, just don't blame me."
"Haha!" Li Hazi glanced at me and said coldly: "You take advantage of the large number of people to bully the small people, right?"
I know very well the reason why I can't lift the coffin. The kind of fate the deceased belongs to has very high requirements for those who carry the coffin. These fake immortals really think that anyone can carry the coffin, so they should be made to suffer a little.
Listening to this, I was a little confused. Even if someone comes from the police station, they have to be reasonable, right? I asked the host why. The host said that Li Hazi’s nephew is called Lang Gao. He is the head of the police station at only 20 years old. Backstage
Very tough. Li Hazi dared to be so arrogant because he was relying on Lang Gao's power.
The middle-aged man looked me over, shook his head, and said, "I don't have the ability to measure you, so what should I do now?"
"Our family is poor and cannot afford to hire 'professionals' to organize the funeral, so we can only hire Chen Baxian and others. Please, for the sake of our fellow villagers, please let my father be buried in peace!" With that said, the three brothers of the host family faced the ground.
Kowtowed violently.
"This... this..., today is the day of my father's funeral. If my father is blamed for such a commotion, our family will be doomed!" The host almost cried after saying this.
The group of fake immortals tried three times in a row. Their faces were red, their ears were flushed, and they were sweating profusely. However, the coffin was still on the ground, not moving at all. They seemed to know that something was wrong. The middle-aged man asked me: "Boy, what's going on? Is it right?"
Did you do anything?"
"Haha! Lao Wang!" The middle-aged man sneered and changed his tone: "Brothers! It must be this kid's fault, beat him up!" After saying that, the middle-aged man didn't have any unnecessary nonsense and waved at the fake immortals.
Wave your hand and get ready to beat me!
The facts were as I expected. As soon as the fake immortals surrounded me, two brothers, Li Jianmin and Li Jianguo, came over with more than a dozen big men. Li Jianmin said: "Li Hazi, today is the day of my father's funeral. You'd better do it."
Don't fool around, otherwise you won't blame me, the three brothers of the Li family, for not caring about the feelings of the people in the same village."
When I saw this situation, I didn't panic. There were so many relatives of the master's family present. I didn't believe they would watch me being beaten. Regardless of the identity of the successor, they wouldn't just stand by and watch if I found the tomb for them.
I sighed, feeling quite helpless. I was in charge of someone else's job, and it was hard for me to insist on my master's request. I could only tell the truth, "There is something wrong with your father's horoscope. It's not easy to carry the coffin!"
After finishing speaking, I stared into Li Hazi’s eyes and said word for word: “Do you really want to lift me up?”
After hearing this, Li Hazi hesitated, discussed with the fake immortals for a while, and then said: "As long as we can carry the coffin, we will definitely deliver the coffin to the tomb!"
"I hope you won't regret it!" As I said that, I took out a few copper coins from my pocket and threw them vigorously over the coffin.
In an instant, the copper coins formed a Bagua model in the sky. I slapped the head of the coffin with my palm and said angrily: "Ashes will return to dust, earth will return to earth. There will be no people from the underworld left in the world of heaven!"
As the words fell, there was originally a trace of the moon's shadow, but it suddenly disappeared. Then there was a loud thunder, heavy rain, everything was dark, and there was a strange smell.
