No words all night.

Lei Zi sat in the coffin all night.

We knew his thoughts and did not bother him.

I told Chen Xiucai that Tong Tong might have been injured by the Gu Sect ancestor. Chen Xiucai said it would be fine. The ghost body has the ability to heal itself. As long as it is not destroyed, Tong Tong will rest for a while, he will naturally be able to heal again.

I had a fierce battle with the ancestor of the Gu Sect last night. I was tired too. After drinking some wine, I went home to rest early. At dawn, I rushed to Lao Liu's house to prepare for Liu Wanying's funeral.

Lei Zi's eyes were as red as a rabbit. I walked over and handed him a fried dough stick: "Eat some, your body is important!"

Lei Zi nodded, said thank you, took the fried dough stick and bite it twice: "Don't worry, Jiu Jizi, I'm fine. As long as Wan Ying is buried properly, I will be able to stand up soon!"

I patted Leizi on the shoulder and didn't say much. Everyone is an adult, and many things need to be faced by themselves, and many difficulties need to be overcome by themselves.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and it was time to get out of the coffin. Because it was about to be buried at noon, I set off one hour in advance, and I had to walk a mountain road and dig a grave and erect a monument, which took some time.

Lei Zi smashed a porcelain bowl to the ground, then called Lao Huang and the others to lift the dragon coffin and slowly left the yard.

This time it was just a single coffin, so just four coffin holders were enough.

After leaving the coffin, there was almost no corpse-driver. Lao Liu and his wife walked in front of the funeral team holding the black and white photo of Liu Wanying, crying all the way, especially Lao Liu's wife, who was crying so heartbreakingly.

But then again, since Liu Wanying became the girl of Luohua Cave, the old Liu and his wife have been holding back the sadness in their hearts and dared not cry loudly. After holding it in for so many days, it is time to release their emotions.

The old Liu and his wife followed the team carrying the coffin. Chen Xiucai, Village Chief Ma, and some relatives and friends followed behind the coffin. Everyone had black gauze wrapped around their arms and white flowers.

After leaving the yard, firecrackers sounded and crackled. The funeral procession winded out of the village and walked into the mountains.

The old Liu family has a piece of land in the mountains, which is considered the ancestral tomb of the Liu family. Because the Liu family has been stele craftsmen for generations, they often need to go into the mountains to mine quarries. Over time, the valley where quarries are mined becomes the cemetery of the Liu family.

The group came to the valley. Leizi found two large stones and put the coffin on the stone to prevent the coffin from getting stuck in the ground. Then, with Lao Huang and the others, they began to dig a hole.

This is a valley in the shape of U-shaped, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a mountain stream in front of it winds by. The Feng Shui is quite good. It is called "Kaiyang Fan" in Feng Shui. Burying it here can protect the blessings of future generations. Perhaps it is for this reason that the ancestors of the Liu family chose the cemetery here.

There are dozens of tombstones of all sizes in the valley, all of which are from the Liu family's ancestral temple. The countryside is quite respectful to the stele craftsmen. While Lei Zi and the others were digging a hole, the others successively lit incense sticks for other ancestors of the Liu family.

It was very blocked, and the pit was dug. Lei Zi crawled out with a dirt face and asked me when he was.

I signaled that the time had come and he could be buried.

All the people who were attending the funeral bowed to the coffin again. Before the burial, Lei Zi shouted and waited, then pushed open the lid of the coffin and gently put the red veil into the coffin, covering Liu Wanying's cheek, and then sealed the coffin and buried it.

The funeral went smoothly. When the soil was sealed, it was drizzling in the sky.

Lao Liu knelt down and kowtowed to the funeral attendant to thank the people. If light rain fell during the funeral, we generally believe that this is a good omen, which means that the deceased was buried with peace of mind and expressed gratitude to the people who attended the funeral.

Lao Liu personally erected the tombstone he carved in front of the grave. The inscription font is vigorous and powerful, but it penetrates people's hearts like a knife. It reads "Tomb of the Beloved Daughter Wanying" and a few lines of small characters are engraved below, with the names of parents. Unexpectedly, Lei Zi's name is also Shi Lei!

"Uncle Liu, you are..." Lei Zi was also surprised to see his name appearing on it. You should know that only immediate relatives are qualified to engrave their names on the tombstone of the deceased.

Old Liu stroked the tombstone and said, "Leizi, stop talking, uncle understand! If you hadn't stood up this time, Wanying could not lie here safely now. She could only slowly rot in the cold cave and turn into a pile of dry bones! If you hadn't risked your life to reveal the secret of the girl in the fallen flower cave, no one would have known the existence of the Gu Sect ancestor! It can be said that you not only helped Wanying, but also helped more and more people. I believe that Wanying's spirit in heaven will also thank you! You are his benefactor, and your name is definitely qualified to appear on her tombstone!"

Lei Zi's eyes were red with emotion. He knew that this was a simple stele craftsman, and he was grateful to him the greatest and best.

Finally, Lei Zi personally inserted a soul-summoning banner on the grave, and the white note clattered in the wind.

In some places, this thing is called "Qingming Danzi" and in some places, it is called "Biaomiao Qian". The names are different in different places, but the functions are the same, and they are all used to soothe the soul.

The funeral staff finished the incense in turn, and the sound of firecrackers sounded again. In the drizzle, Liu Wanying's corpse was finally buried after several twists and turns.

I saw Lei Zi raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and a gratified smile finally appeared on his face. This was all he could do for Liu Wanying.

After the funeral procession left, he did not return to the village immediately, but chose the way to go to the cave in the back mountain.

Today, under the leadership of Village Chief Ma and Chen Xiucai, the people of Shuipu Village have to do one big thing, that is, seal the cave!

In fact, some people have thought about the idea of ​​sealing the cave before, but they dared not mention it. At that time, people believed that there were cave gods in caves, and no one dared to offend the cave gods. Now, the villagers have learned the truth in the cave and know that the so-called cave gods are simply bullshit, so the matter of sealing the cave is imperative.

When we resisted the cave in the back mountain, dozens of villagers had gathered here.

In order to seal the cave, Village Chief Ma also specially found a contractor. The contractor led a small team to do blasting outside. After hearing that this matter would be a must-have for wages, so he led the team back to help.

The contractor came over to report to Village Chief Ma. The holes had been cleaned and the detonator had been placed. Just wait for the village chief to order.

Village Chief Ma nodded, led everyone to retreat to the safe range, and then issued a blasting order.

There was a loud bang, and the whole mountain shook a few times. The big stones on the mountain rolled down like snowballs, and a burst of smoke and dust rose up, and soon piled up into a stone mountain at the entrance of the cave, blocking the man-eating cave entrance tightly.

There were bursts of cheers in the crowd, and the nightmare that had been entangled with nearby villagers for a long time finally ended here.

"Scholar, what do you think?" asked Village Chief Ma.

Chen Xiucai stroked his beard and said, "Very good! In this way, the ancestor of the Gu Sect can no longer harm people! Although this method is a bit cruel, there is no need for any sympathy to deal with beasts like the ancestor of the Gu Sect!"

Leizi and I shook hands excitedly, and we exclaimed anger in our hearts, which could be regarded as avenging Wanying!

When I returned to Shuiwa Village, the Liu family wanted to entertain the funeral attendants for dinner.

Four or five tables were set up in the yard, and Lao Liu personally accompanied us, toasted us one by one and expressed his gratitude to us.

During the meal, Village Chief Ma made a summary speech: "This matter has been completely resolved, and Wanying has left well, and life still has to continue. The reality that should be faced must be faced, and the hurdle that should be overcome must be overcome!"

Maybe the stone pressed in my heart was finally put down, so compared to the previous two days, everyone's heart was much better. Even Lei Zi was much more relaxed, at least not completely immersed in grief. After all, as Village Chief Ma said, life has to continue, and those who left have left, but those who are alive have to live well.

I drank a lot of wine that night, and Village Chief Ma was unable to drink and had already been sent back to bed.

In the end, there were only a few people left on the table, me, Lei Zi, Lao Huang, Chen Xiucai, and Lao Liu.

Everyone was drinking and chatting. Somehow they talked about the topic of engraving steles. As they were talking, Old Liu suddenly slapped his thigh: "It was only when I said this that I remembered that when I was engraving steles a few days ago, I encountered something strange when I was engraving steles!"

Everyone was so excited that they asked Lao Liu to tell me what strange things happened to him.

Old Liu took a sip of wine: "About ten days and a half months ago, the old lady Du who lived in the north of our village passed away. You don't know about this, right?"

"What? Old Mrs. Du is dead?!" I was shocked, and then I felt sad.

"What's wrong? Do you know this old lady Du?" Lei Zi looked at my expression and thought that I was very familiar with Old lady Du.

Actually, Old Mrs. Du and I are not familiar with each other, but Old Mrs. Du is a well-known celebrity in our Shuipu Village.

However, she is not famous for something good, she is famous for her own misery.

In other words, Mrs. Du is a very miserable person.

It is said that Mrs. Du was robbed here by bandits. Later, she fell ill and was thrown away by the bandit gang. As a result, she was rescued by a local hunter and survived fortunately. However, this disease took away most of her memory. She didn't even know her name, but only remembered that her surname was Du, so since I can remember, people in the village called her Aunt Du, because she was already sixty or seventy years old at that time!
