The two teams, both of which were holding funerals, actually confronted each other at the entrance to Gengjiayun's village, which made Qin Yu behind him look surprised.
Generally speaking, funeral processions will not appear together at the same time, because this is a taboo, and it is very likely that the ghost of the deceased will follow the wrong procession, and then there will be a possibility of being buried with the wrong procession.
It would be understandable to say that funeral processions from two different places met together, but this was obviously not the case in front of us.
The two teams holding funerals are both from Gengjiayu, but Gengjiayu is not a big place and is always a village. If a person dies in a village and a funeral is held, it is impossible for no one in the village to know about it.
Therefore, this situation should not happen.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu gave Meng Yao and the others a look, indicating that he should hurry up and walk up to see what was going on.
However, when Qin Yu approached the two teams holding the funeral, the surprise on his face became even stronger, and he even showed a hint of suspicion.
Because the two teams holding the funeral seemed to have some grudge against each other, and the eyes they looked at each other at this moment were very unfriendly. This unfriendliness was not due to the unfriendly moment when they bumped into each other, but
It's a look with hatred.
There is animosity between these two teams!
This was Qin Yu's first judgment.
It is normal for village neighbors to have conflicts. Today, your tile roof will be extended one foot to block my living room. Tomorrow, your front steps will be extended one foot to occupy one foot of my field... This type of conflict
Countless.
Even sometimes, due to some interests, conflicts will break out between different surnames and clans in the village. But no matter what the conflict is, generally speaking, everyone understands one truth, that is, death is a big deal.
No matter how much hatred there is between your two families, you cannot destroy or block the funeral of the deceased person of the other party. First of all, because if you really want to do this, I will make trouble for the person who died in your family today, and then the day after tomorrow, it will be rotated. Finally,
It still makes it impossible for the dead to rest in peace, and everyone will die one day.
Another very important reason is that many people in the village still believe in ghosts and gods. If you cause trouble at someone's funeral, it will be fatal if you are exposed to the revenge of ghosts.
Therefore, it is difficult to encounter a situation like the scene in front of him, which is what aroused Qin Yu's doubts.
The three Meng Yao girls didn't know the secrets involved, so they didn't understand why Qin Yu was so curious about the two teams holding the funeral. They thought that such things should be taboo, so why did they stop to watch.
"Er Geng, please get out of the way quickly."
"Geng Zhongqiu, it's you who should make way. You killed my husband, and now you want to block my husband's funeral. You guys are damned." The weeping woman pointed at the funeral procession opposite and cursed.
"What do you mean we killed your husband? If it hadn't been for your boss Geng, my son wouldn't have died. You guys should get out of the way quickly and delay my son's funeral. Don't blame us for being rude then."
"Hey, what a rude way, do you have to use your hands?"
"If you move your hands, move your hands. Whoever is coward is not from Gengjiayu."
…
The two parties were about to curse and get more and more angry, and when they were about to start a fight, another group of people came out from the entrance of the village. The leaders were a few old men, and the middle one was a man who could barely walk on crutches.
An old man with white hair walking unsteadily.
"What are you going to do? Are we going to have a traitor in our Geng family? We have all learned how to fight within the family."
The white-haired old man, supported by several middle-aged men, quickly walked between the two groups of people and asked while leaning on his crutches.
"Uncle, Geng Zhongqiu and his family have bullied others too much. Today is my husband's funeral, but they deliberately came to make trouble." When the woman saw the white-haired old man, she immediately complained.
"Uncle, it's clear that they are causing trouble. Today is also the day when my son is buried, but they still chose this day. Isn't this their intention to go against our family?"
"Why are you deliberately going against your family? Our family is obviously the first."
"That's because our home is far away."
…
The two sides argued again.
"Okay, don't make any noise."
The white-haired old man banged his cane on the ground several times in anger, and even coughed out of anger. When the two parties saw the white-haired old man crying, they all fell silent.
If something goes wrong with his body, the family cannot bear the responsibility.
"Look at what nonsense you are doing. If Geng Laosan and your children had listened to Fang Zi's advice, we wouldn't have had these problems. I told you that you couldn't make this kind of money, but you just didn't listen. Now it's happening.
If something goes wrong, just blame the other party, and our Geng family will be completely embarrassed by you."
Great uncle had an angry look on his face, and a dark middle-aged man beside him also lowered his head and said with some self-blame: "Great uncle, this is also my fault."
"Fangzi, this has nothing to do with you. Your family has always eaten this bowl of rice and acted according to the rules. It's just that they were too greedy and broke the rules. I can only say that they are responsible for all this."
Grand uncle had a very high status in the Geng family, so even though many people from the two families showed dissatisfaction on their faces, they still did not dare to argue.
"Now you two families are holding their own funerals, but if any of you dares to mess around, then you will no longer be a member of the Geng family, and you should not enter the Geng family ancestral hall again. There are no descendants of the Geng family who fight within themselves."
After the great uncle said this, he left with the help of the middle-aged man named Fang Zi and another man on crutches.
However, although the great uncle left, the other old men who came with the great uncle stayed. They are all old people from Gengjiayu. They stayed to watch the two families because they were afraid that the two families would start fighting again.
conflict.
After all, although the great uncle has a high prestige in the village, if the two families get angry, they may not take his words seriously, especially those young people who are young and energetic by nature, so they have to
Stay here and watch.
Seeing these elders staring at them eagerly, in the end there was no conflict between the two families. They each got out of the way. One walked towards the village and the other towards the river. A dispute might break out.
It just died down.
Qin Yu on the side saw the two teams leaving, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and after staying there for a while, he said to the three women: "Let's go too."
Because Gengjiayun is close to Shanxia Hydropower Station and there are many scenic spots nearby, there are hotels in the village. Although they are not good, they are much better than guest houses.
Qin Yu and the four of them booked two rooms, each returned to their room to rest for a while, and then left the hotel to find a restaurant for dinner.
Coincidentally, when Qin Yu and the other two found a restaurant, there were two men sitting in the lobby dining, and one of these two men was the one who helped the uncle leave earlier and was called Fang Zi.
middle-aged man.
Seeing this dark-skinned middle-aged man, a bright light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, and finally he took Meng Yao and the three girls to sit at the table next to the man.
"Fang Zi, you have also suffered an unreasonable disaster. Geng Laosan and Geng Zhongqiu's son brought it upon themselves and refused to listen to your advice. Now that they are dead, the two families blame you for the incident. I would say you do the same.
If I could bear it, I would have let my great-uncle make the decision a long time ago."
"Hey, after all, I brought Geng Laosan and Geng Daming into the industry. I am also responsible for what happened to them. If I had known their character, I should not have brought them into the industry in the first place." Geng Fang sighed and replied.
"Fang Zi, you are such a nice person. What does this matter have to do with you? Although you brought Geng Laosan and Geng Daming into the industry, without you, I'm afraid they would have taken over the job privately given their personalities. This
I can't even stop you."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink."
There were already seven or eight empty wine bottles on Geng Fang's table. It was obvious that he was actually very depressed and angry in his heart, but he just didn't show it and had no choice but to vent his anger through drinking.
When Qin Yu was eating here, he kept his ears erect and listened to the conversation at Geng Fang's table. He couldn't use his telekinesis. Qin Yu's hearing had also declined a lot, but at such a close distance, what Geng Fang and his companions said was difficult.
He still heard clearly what was said.
"Fang Zi, I think your line of work is a bit evil. I think you should stop doing it. Anyway, you have made a lot of money over the years. Find a matchmaker to be a matchmaker, then marry a wife and start a business safely.
It’s also good to do business in a small shop.”
"With a family like mine, how can any girl fall in love with me?" Geng Fang smiled bitterly and replied.
"What's there? Even if there isn't one nearby, I know that there are many girls from poor areas who are willing to marry us, as long as they pay a little more money. I know people in this area, and I can contact you when the time comes.
Now, besides, you are going to be forty soon, so you have to continue the family lineage."
"That won't work. Those women were all trafficked. This is illegal and I can't do it. I will be punished." Geng Fang shook his head as fast as a rattle and refused directly.
"Well, I won't force you. I'll talk to the matchmakers in the village then." Seeing Geng Fang's firm attitude, Geng Fang's companion stopped continuing the topic.
"Fang Zi, tell me honestly, are you really going to encounter ghosts in your profession?"
"Why are you asking about this?" Geng Fang asked warily when he saw his friend suddenly asking about this.
"Because I think your business is quite profitable now, if you can..."
"Don't even think about this. Haven't you seen the lessons of Geng Laosan and Geng Daming? This will cost you your life." Geng Fang's expression became serious and his voice became a little louder.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. There were so many people that day. If there was really a ghost, why did only Geng Laosan and Geng Daming get into trouble?" Geng Fang's companion said angrily.
