Chapter 806: Focus on stability and prevent overturning
Around 12:30 noon,
On a road in Dahai City, vehicles came from the direction of the city. One of them contained a black European-style coffin in a stretched car.
The coffin was heavy, and inside it contained a dead person who had just been laid to rest.
That was an old woman in her seventies.
It was the old Mrs. Liu who was about to be buried in Fushou Garden as mentioned by Li Yue and others.
"It seems that Mrs. Liu's house is a little complicated." Li Yang looked at the cars driving into the driveway of Fushou Garden.
After a rough calculation, there were dozens of cars, including quite a few luxury cars, and the ostentation was quite large.
Just a few moments.
There were nearly a hundred people in the open space. These people were all dressed in black, and some of them had white flowers on their chests. They looked like they were here to attend the funeral.
The clothes of these people are not simple, and you can tell by looking at them that they are all successful people or social elites who are either rich or noble.
Li Yue and others were standing not far from the temporary mourning hall, looking at these people.
"How can it be that ordinary people can be buried in this cemetery? A cemetery here is even more valuable than a house in the center of some cities."
Li Yue said very calmly.
Just like the houses where the living live are divided into three, six, and nine grades, so are the cemeteries where the dead are buried.
But Li Yue thought this was just boring.
These ordinary people, no matter how high their status was or how much money they had before they died, they would just be corpses after death.
Whether you bury it anywhere, or bury it in a place like Fu Shou Yuan, there is actually no difference at all.
"These rich people are troublesome. Having a meaningless farewell ceremony when people are dead is just a waste of time."
Sun Rui touched the cane in his hand and said a little impatiently and disdainfully.
"That's right, apart from wasting us for a few hours, it has no meaning. Don't you know how to be considerate of others?" Li Yang also said.
If you don't show filial piety to your elders when you are alive, doing so will have no effect except to make yourself feel at ease.
If the old man did not suffer, then even death would not be a bad thing, so why bother with these tricks.
"Don't say that. It just takes more time. There is no need to complain. Since the master wants to do it, let them do it." Li Yue felt that it didn't matter.
Anyway, they are already here, it's not a big deal if they wait a little longer.
"We can't rush this matter. It's better to be steady and let them go through all the procedures they want to go through." Yang Jian said calmly;
"After all, this is our first time to carry out a message delivery mission. To a certain extent, we are also considered newcomers, but we still need to be steady;
Moreover, Li Yue also speculated before that the red letter may be related to a very scary supernatural event, so you should also pay attention to this."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he looked at Sun Rui and Li Yang seriously.
Li Yang didn't seem to care about his reminder;
"That's just compared to the normal couriers in the ghost post office. We are different from them. We shouldn't be that scary."
Hearing this, Li Yue's eyes flashed with a playful look.
I hope Li Yang can say this again later.
"You can't do whatever you want just because you're a ghost master, or you'll overturn." Yang Jian immediately reminded him in a deep voice.
An awkward smile suddenly flashed across Li Yang's face, and then he nodded seriously.
"As expected of Captain Yang, he is really impeccable in his work." Sun Rui said with emotion at this time.
Yang Jian suddenly said: "Let's go over and take a look. The funeral hall is almost ready."
While several people were talking, Mrs. Liu's funeral hall had almost been decorated.
Part of it has been built in advance, so it won't take much time now.
The four of them then slowly approached the mourning hall.
However, because they did not come to attend the funeral and did not know the host's family, they stopped when they were about ten or twenty meters away from the mourning hall.
This distance was enough for them to see clearly what was going on inside the mourning hall.
At this time, the mourning hall was filled with flowers, a coffin was placed in the middle, and in front of the coffin was a black and white portrait.
Li Yang glanced at the mourning hall and whispered: "The old woman's body should be placed in that coffin."
Sun Rui nodded.
"By the way, don't everyone want to be cremated now?" Li Yang suddenly said again.
After hearing this, Sun Rui said very calmly:
"According to normal circumstances, the dead should be cremated. Now corresponding regulations have been issued, but you should know that regulations also treat people differently.
Mrs. Liu's family is obviously rich or noble, so if the family insists on not sparking a fire, it's okay to bury her in the ground, but unless she is a public figure, there is no other way."
At this time, Li Yue also said: "In fact, it is okay even if public figures are not cremated;
All you need to do is bury the body secretly, and then say it has been parked in the funeral home for a while. After the limelight is over, who cares whether the jar contains ashes? It is impossible to dig up the grave to verify it."
"Is there still such an operation?" Li Yang suddenly felt that he had learned a lot.
"There is no way, after all, our traditional concept since ancient times is burial." Although Li Yue has not personally experienced this kind of thing, he has heard about it a lot, so he is very calm.
Sun Rui looked at the coffin in the mourning hall and suddenly said:
"I think we can just throw the letter into the coffin as soon as the ghost land is opened. When the coffin is successfully buried in the afternoon, our letter delivery task will naturally be completed. This will save time and effort."
Although Li Yue and Yang Jian had always emphasized that this mission should not be easy.
But the experience along the way was really not difficult, which made Sun Rui feel a little slack.
Although he didn't say it, he already felt in his heart that Li Yue and Yang Jian were making too much fuss.
Even a newcomer like Li Yang can successfully complete such a simple letter delivery task by himself.
Putting aside Sun Rui's thoughts, his proposal still has a lot of room for maneuver.
"Wait a minute, I always feel that something is wrong this time." But after a brief thought, Yang Jian still shook his head and refused;
"And we are not real couriers, let alone running errands for the Ghost Post Office. Our purpose is to understand the secrets of the Ghost Post Office, discover the true intention of the messenger's mission, and thus solve the doubts in my heart."
If it is a normal messenger, it will naturally be no problem if it only needs to complete the task of sending letters.
However, from the beginning, Yang Jian was very clear that his pursuit was more than that.
Accepting the letter delivery task from the Ghost Post Office, or even completing the task with all his strength, is not his real purpose, but the process.
"We have all been waiting for such a long time, it doesn't matter if we wait, we will wait until the coffin is buried before we act;
I don't believe that the ghost post office will really allow us to complete the task so easily. Once an abnormality occurs in this process, we can peek into the secret of the ghost post office."
