my weird life

Chapter 304 Funeral (22)

Everyone in the Yinximaizao team changed their clothes and went to the mourning hall to offer incense.

The mourning hall is generally set up in the open space in front of the house or on the side of the road.
Because of this people under Gai believed that,
After a person dies, the soul floats out of the body, and it no longer lingers at home, but goes to the outside world.

Set up the mourning hall outside the house,
It is also to invite the souls of the dead to return.

In the mourning hall,
On the altar stands a list of the deceased.

The square meat, raw rice, and raw chicken whose skin has been blanched in boiling water are served in front of the queue.

Incense smoke floats in the incense burner.

Su Wu and his group stepped into it, and the maidservant in plain clothes gently led the group to the front of the queue, where they offered incense one by one,

The servant standing outside the mourning hall nodded and bowed, asking a group of people to pass through the main entrance.

The people did not give the funeral ceremony,

He didn't even dare to fart.

It can be said to be very different from the attitude towards Cui Landlord's family!

"It's just a change of clothes,
Why in their eyes, we seem to have changed people? "The big pig couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart, and asked softly to his mother who was holding his hand.

Think about Di Nene for a moment,

I can't figure out the key to this,
I don't know how to answer my son's question.

Su Wu, who was walking in front of her, stopped for a while, turned her head to look at the big pig, and said, "How they look at people has nothing to do with you. You just need to remember that in the future, you must never rely on what clothes other people wear. Others are courteous, or look down on others,
Otherwise, you will suffer a lot. "

"Um!

I can save it! "

The big pig nodded vigorously, covered his mouth and snickered, "Uncle Cui's servant asked us to sneak in, because he only looks at the clothes, so their family will suffer - I must eat a lot of meat today,

Earn back the money you give away! "

Big Pig is full of fighting spirit.

Su Wu shook his head and remained silent.

——The child thought they were so tossed and spent a lot of time to come here,

It's really for a good meal...

Even Xiangdi may think so at the moment.

However, Su Wu would not intentionally say more in front of them, so as not to frighten the two of them so that they would not even have a good meal.

He just told the two of them, "Go faster."

Without saying anything else, he led the people to follow the fat old man who was swaggering in front of him.

Walk into the main entrance and into the main hall.

Cui Dashan, who was wearing sackcloth and filial piety, was chatting with other distinguished guests, when he saw another distinguished guest coming, he hurriedly said to the few guests who gathered together to talk: "Everyone wait a moment."

Then he turned to Li Yueshan,
"You can come here in person to participate in my mother's funeral, it really makes me feel very special, very special!" Cui Daren, the squat, freckle-faced Landlord Cui, bowed to Li Yueshan,

Li Yueshan also nodded in return, and said: "How can such a kind old man like Lingci just leave? It's really a pity!"

Hearing this, Cui Daren held Li Yueshan's hand,

His eyes were reddish, his lips trembled slightly and he said, "Could it be that you have seen Jiaci?"

"I've seen a few times, I've seen a few times.

Cui Dashanren,

Sorry, sorry. "Li Yueshan patted Cui Daren and pulled his palm, and spoke in a warm voice.

Where did he meet Cui Landlord's own mother?
Even when he lied in front of the other party's son, his face didn't change.

after all,

The dead cannot be brought back to life.

He is not afraid that the other party's mother will jump out of the coffin and confront him face to face.

"I really——" Cui Daren's face was full of emotion, tears were about to flow from his eyes, he looked over Li Yueshan, and saw the young man with a calm expression behind him,
And two beautiful girls,
The mother and son in the back...

Why is the dress on that woman very much like a satin dress of his concubine?
Cui Daren became suspicious in his heart, and a new guest came over there.

He had no choice but to let go of Li Yueshan's hand, and said in his mouth: "You guys wait a moment, wait a moment, Li Gou, let the guests show their seats!"

The servant called "Li Dog" by Cui Daren rushed over,

When seeing Li Yueshan and his party,
His eyes widened immediately!

This family member was one of the thugs who had been beaten by the stove team before!

Fortunately, Cui Daren has already turned around to chat with the new guest, and the first sentence he said to the new guest face to face is still: "Gong Neng will come here in person, I will be deeply impressed..."

It has not been a few years since the great good man made his fortune,

I never read any books when I was a child.
Thinking about it now, I also temporarily memorized a set of polite words.

Under Su Wu's cold gaze, the servant finally came to his senses, quickly put on a smile for everyone, and led them to sit down at a big table.

At the end, he reminded in a low voice: "This table is a table for distinguished guests, and there are top-notch dishes such as venison leg, roast suckling pig, antler and ginseng slice soup!"

"You son of a bitch made a good arrangement!" Li Yueshan praised the other party, and then ordered, "If you have any news, let the old man know!"

"Definitely, definitely!" Li Gou didn't dare to disobey Li Yueshan's intention, nodded hurriedly and went down.

The stove team has six people,
Plus Xiangdi mother and son,

Eight people just gathered around a round table.

There is no outsider here, Li Yueshan sniffed the aroma of meat in the air, and said dumbfounded: "I thought that this kind person should always ask about our origins, but I didn't expect that the other party would be like a father and a mother when they meet,
It saves the old man to edit it now. "

Qing Miao and Zhu'er pursed their lips and smiled.

Li Yueshan looked at Su Wu again, and asked: "You went to get their clothes just now, but have you found out where the storehouse where this son of a bitch hides his money? Take all his money away in a while!
He also enjoyed it for so many years,
The people here should also enjoy it! "

"It's all figured out."

Su Wu nodded.

More than just to find out?He has already transferred a large amount of money accumulated in Cui Daren's family to the shadow world in advance.
When you leave this place after eating, you can start distributing money!
Xiangdi's mother and son looked at the two in shock when they heard the words, and only then did they realize that the true purpose of the Zao team must not be limited to having dinner at Cui Daren's house!

Most of the guests in the main hall have already been seated.
The hall was full of people.

Su Wu was sitting next to the gate, and when he turned his head, he could see the servants and maidservants passing by outside the gate, as well as a small piece of blue sky surrounded by the courtyard.

Sunlight poured down from the sky.

Originally played in the mourning hall outside the door, it seemed weak, the sparse mourning sound,

At this moment suddenly became loud and clear,
The voice approached from outside the door into the main hall,

Like a rising tide,
Instantly filled the eardrums of all the guests in the hall,

Everyone involuntarily stopped talking, and turned their heads to look outside the hall——

I saw Cui Daren standing in front of the side hall under the guidance of two white-haired old men,

As the white-haired old man on the left handed him a glass of wine,

He backed away three steps, raised his glass above his head,
Take another three steps in and out to the left, put the wine glass in front of your chest,
After completing this set of specific steps and movements,

Cui Dashan spilled the wine on the open space in front of the side hall,
prostrate to the ground,
Weeping loudly: "Mother, ah—"

The servants and maidservants guarding the yard fell to their knees one after another, and wailed vigorously: "Grandma—"

Such a loud cry,

Although there may not be a bit of sincerity in it,

But with the bursts of mourning and joy, it also has a slight appeal.

in the main hall,
Some weak-tempered women took out silk scarves and lowered their heads to wipe away their tears.

in the backyard,
The faces of Cui Jiaben's family were numb. They were washing vegetables in the icy water. Occasionally, they looked up at the pots and stoves exuding aroma. Their eyes showed a bit of longing, and their expressions looked more lively.

Cui Daren wailed for a while beside his mother's coffin in the side hall,
His mother's body lay in the coffin,
at this time,

The coffin lid is not closed yet.

Old corpses in shrouds,

Covered with a thin blanket,
Eight dishes were placed around the corpse, all of which were the old woman's favorite snacks during her lifetime.

Subsequently,

The white-haired old man on the left approached Cui Daren,

Whispered a few words in his ear.

Cui Daren nodded repeatedly,
Then he kowtowed to his mother's coffin again,
while kowtowing,
While crying, "Mother!
My mother--the fortune of my son is not good at the moment, and the fortune-teller said that it will not be good for your grandchildren if you are buried after the first seven days--my son is not filial, for the sake of your grandchildren, my son can only bury you today!

Damn! "

He cried until his nose and tears flowed out,

With the support of the servants, he climbed up from the ground,

into the side hall,
Walked around with the coffin.

She just wailed and cried bitterly, but didn't even look into the coffin.

After performing these rituals,

He took the silk handkerchief from the maid at the door, wiped the snot and tears from his face, and turned into a kind-faced fat middle-aged man.

"Doo-da! Da! Da! Da!"

At this time, the musicians gathered in the courtyard played their trumpets, suona and sheng even harder.

The high-pitched but terrific music,

It seems to express the grief and helplessness of the relatives and the elderly separated by yin and yang.

in the main hall,
Li Yueshan heard Cui Daren crying in front of his mother's coffin, grinned, and said: "Could it be that this person thinks that the seven-day funeral is too expensive, so he wants to finish it all in one day?

Hey!
He really took advantage of everything! "

The old Taoist priest sat next to Li Yueshan, wearing silk and satin clothes,
But more like a monkey wearing a monkey crown than Li Yueshan,
He picked up the fennel beans on the table, threw them into his mouth and chewed them, and said in a loud voice: "When a person dies, there is nothing left.

seven days a day,
What's the difference?Good morning, good morning, good morning..."

"Don't you bastards just rely on the funeral rituals to make money?
How dare you say such things? "Li Yueshan laughed endlessly.

The old Taoist looked at Li Yueshan,
Suddenly his eyes widened, and he said: "He didn't find me a way,
Isn't it just too early? "

"..."

Su Wu also found it quite interesting listening to the bickering between the two old men.

There is nothing unusual here,

He didn't notice the slightest twist.

Just think of it as an ordinary funeral.

Cui Daren stood outside the door of the side hall, and ordered Jia Ding to listen to him, and said a few words,
When handing the dirty handkerchief to the maidservant next to her,

The moment the palm was lowered, he took advantage of the opportunity to pinch the maidservant's buttocks,
Aroused the maidservant's shy eyes.

No one noticed his actions like this.

Because at the moment, a few strong shirtless men with red ribbons around their waists approached the side hall one by one,

Several people each plated a corner of the coffin,
Put the pole under the coffin and fasten the rope.

Then they worked together to lift the coffin out of the side hall—at the same time as the coffin was out of the side hall, four more people held a corner of a black sheet to cover the doorway, and as the coffin was carried out inch by inch,

The black cloth also moved out inch by inch,
always covered by the coffin,
Don't let the corpse in the coffin see the sun.

The servant brought two benches,

The coffin rests on the bench,
Someone lifts the coffin lid,

Cover the coffin on the spot,
Wedge a foot-long coffin nail with a mallet!
