"Mayor! Master Lin! Master Lin! Little Master Lin and Little Master Xu!"
Not long after, Uncle Jiu and Li Yu arrived at Old Han Li's house, and brothers Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng also followed. Seeing the group arriving, everyone present also shouted.
At this moment, a lot of people have gathered at Old Man Li's house. Most of them were recruited by Li Yu to help. They have already begun to set up a high tent and decorate the mourning hall. Some of them came to watch the situation and join in the fun.
"Master Ren! Master Huang!"
Not long after Lin Tianqi and his party entered the courtyard, there was another voice behind them, indicating that someone was arriving. However, it was Ren Fa and Huang Wanwan, another landlord in Fengshui Town, who got the news and rushed over.
Because of the turmoil in this era, the government's control power was small, especially in towns and villages. The government was basically unable to control these places. Therefore, generally in towns and villages, the real power holders are often the landlords in the town.
Underworld agencies and public security are all controlled by the landlord class, and the same is true in Fengshui Town. Naturally, if something goes wrong, these landlords will be the first to intervene.
"Master Lin, Mayor."
When the two came in, they were the first to call Uncle Jiu and Li Yu.
"Master Ren, Master Huang."
When Uncle Jiu and Li Yu heard this, they responded politely and bowed their hands.
"Little Master Lin." Ren Fa looked at Lin Tianqi again and greeted him with a smile.
"Master Ren." Lin Tianqi also smiled politely at Ren Fa after hearing this.
Huang Baiwan, who was with Ren Fa, saw Ren Fa taking the initiative to say hello to Lin Tianqi, and looked at Lin Tianqi more, but didn't say much.
"Mayor, please take me to see the body first."
After greeting each other, Uncle Jiu spoke again and went straight to the topic. Uncle Jiu's acting style was very similar to that of Lin Tianqi. Both the master and the disciple did not like procrastination.
"Okay, Master Lin, please come this way."
Li Yu nodded immediately after hearing the words, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and took the lead to walk towards the main room where the funeral hall had been set up, and everyone followed immediately.
The body has not yet been put into the coffin. In the main room, two long benches are set up with a door panel as a simple bed. The body is covered with a white cloth, but the white cloth is stained red with blood from top to bottom, although the body inside has not yet been seen.
But after falling from a cliff more than 20 meters high and looking at the white cloth that was stained red, everyone could more or less guess what it looked like.
Uncle Jiu walked to the body and was about to reach out to lift off the white cloth to see the condition of the body, but when he reached the edge of the cloth, he stopped, a little worried that the picture would be disgusting.
Li Yu, Ren Fa, Huang Wanwan and others in the back looked at the corpse covered with white cloth with nervous expressions on their faces, wanting to see it but not daring to look at it.
"Master, let me do it."
Seeing that his master was hesitant, Lin Tianqi immediately walked up and said.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu immediately retracted his hand, looked at Lin Tianqi and nodded, then took a few steps back to make way for Lin Tianqi.
sand!
Lin Tianqi walked to the corpse, reached for the corner of the white cloth, and pulled it from head to back. In an instant, Old Man Li's entire corpse was revealed.
"Ugh! Ugh!"
Immediately, a series of nauseating sounds were heard behind them, and many people ran out of the main room immediately. The remaining people, except for a few people who had stronger mental endurance, also rushed out.
He turned his head to the side and realized that Old Man Li's death was too disgusting and frightening.
Judging from the appearance of Old Man Li's body, it was obvious that he had landed on his front, especially the left half of his face, which was probably stabbed by a tree stump or something. The entire face was a bloody mess, and the left eye socket was directly turned into a bloody mess.
The hole pierced the entire head from the eye socket, and the stomach was a bloody mess, with a section of intestines flowing out.
Looking at this look, among everyone present, even Lin Tianqi felt a little nauseous looking at it. He opened it to see that his master had finished reading, and quickly covered it with the white cloth again.
Seeing Lin Tianqi put the cloth back on, everyone present felt that the nausea and fear in their hearts had improved a lot.
"Master Lin, how are you?" Li Yu looked at Uncle Jiu and asked.
"There is no problem. The deceased died accidentally and there is no resentment on his body. Just follow the normal funeral procedures."
Uncle Jiu said.
"That's good, that's good."
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Li Yu, Ren Fa, Huang Wanwan and other people present immediately breathed a sigh of relief. What the group was most worried about was whether Old Man Li's body would transform into a corpse or a ghost. After all,
Old Man Li's death was so tragic that it looked a bit scary. Although it was an accidental death, it was still a violent death, and the death was so tragic that everyone couldn't help but worry.
After all, this sentence of violent death, fierce death, and powerful ghosts is not simply scary, but it is true.
Therefore, everyone felt relieved when they heard Uncle Jiu's words.
"However, the deceased was a person who died unexpectedly after all, and accidents are prone to accidents, so we must be careful not to let the deceased get angry."
Uncle Jiu made another point.
"Just pay attention to one thing and follow normal funeral procedures for the rest. If you have any questions, just come to me at any time."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Master Lin."
Li Yu immediately raised his hands and thanked him, and then ordered the people to start organizing.
Lin Tianqi and his party immediately left without staying any longer.
"Master Lin, I think it's still early, would you like to go have a cup of tea together?"
After leaving the yard, Ren Fa looked at Uncle Jiu again and invited with a smile.
"I'm afraid today is not a good day. The mayor may need help at any time, and the shop also needs to be looked after. Let's try another day."
After hearing the words, Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment and smiled and declined politely. Ren Fa heard the words and didn't press too hard and said with a smile.
"Well, I'll drink it when I have time next time."
After that, he bowed his hands again and left with his entourage.
Master Lin Tianqi and his apprentice immediately returned to the store. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Master, just don't let the corpse be contaminated with anger. What is anger? Is it the anger on us living people?"
On the way, Xu Dongsheng asked Uncle Jiu again.
"You are roughly correct. In most cases, anger does refer to the qi of the living. If the anger comes into contact with the corpse and is absorbed by the corpse, some problems will easily occur. The most common one is corpse transformation. Therefore, funerals require as few living people as possible.
When touching the body of the deceased, especially the family members of the deceased, do not drop tears on the deceased."
"And the more abnormal a person's death is, the more likely it is that problems will occur if the body comes into contact with life."
"And the reason why you are roughly correct is that, in addition to people, the anger of some living creatures will also affect the corpses and cannot be touched, such as cats and dogs."
"Among cats and dogs, black cats and black dogs are the most ferocious. It is said that black cats are afraid of jumping on corpses, and black dogs are afraid of digging into graves. These are the most dangerous things!"
Uncle Jiu said, explaining to Xu Dongsheng.
"I've heard of black cats jumping on corpses and black dogs digging into graves, but why is that? Master, why does it have to be a black cat and a black dog, but not a white cat and a white dog?"
Xu Dongsheng touched the back of his head and asked again.
"How do I know this? Your master and I are not omniscient and omnipotent. Anyway, just remember these taboos in your mind."
