I nodded, the little fly was hiding something, I don't know if it's because he really learned how to pick bones from the old stall?What the fat man said makes sense. I feel that the little fly has already prepared how to deal with us.
In the afternoon we continued to observe secretly in the room, but this little fly did one thing all afternoon.Just sitting by the coffin and blowing his mourning horn.
The dull, mournful and low melody of the trumpet disturbs our minds.Listening to that disturbing trumpet sound, I always feel like something is going to happen.
Chapter 536
And from the beginning to the end, from morning to night, no one came to the old stall's house.
It seemed that this funeral was mainly done by the old stall and the little fly, the old and the young, one dead and one alive.
And when it was getting dark in the evening, Little Fly finally put down the horn and walked towards the gate.It seemed that after waiting for a day, someone finally came.
Pang Dahai and I also hurried out of the house, and saw the little fly moving in from the door and four paper-wrapped people.In addition, there is a bound paper carriage.
Four paper-made figures, two virgin boys and two virgin girls, were placed on both sides of the coffin.
The paper carriage was placed in the yard.
A carriage loaded with goods outside the door, after unloading the goods, it went straight away.This should be the paper work that Xiao Feizi ordered at the paper making shop.
I took a look at the four tied-up boys and girls. It seemed that the handwork was not very exquisite. I don't know what was applied to the red cheeks on the face, and it was not very even, with patches here and there.
But it seems that the little fly doesn't care about these things. After the paper figurines and paper horses are in place, they put another stick of incense on the old stall.
I looked at the sky, it was going to be dark soon.Then he said to Xiao Yingzi: "Little Yingzi, you've been busy all day, go and have a rest. Let's watch Master Tan."
The little fly finally changed his face a little this time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, then I will have you two."
The little fly turned around and took two steps, then turned around again, and told Pang Dahai and me: "You two must keep a close eye on that incense stick and that ever-burning lamp. Don't break it, my teacher told me before I was alive. If it is broken, I'm afraid it will affect his old man's reincarnation...I...go to rest first..."
I nodded, knowing that these insiders have many rules.They have been dealing with the dead all their lives, and after their death, they naturally have a lot of etiquette and rules.
The little fly bowed to us and walked over to the wing.
I raised my hand and shouted, "Oh..."
The little fly was taken aback, and turned to look at me.
"Isn't that room... the bone-splitting room where Mr. Tan picked up the bones and sewed them up? Then... can people live in it?" I asked.I mean, that place is very evil and very dark, normal people can't live in it.
Unexpectedly, the little fly smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern. I have been living here since I entered the teacher's school."
With that said, the little fly turned around and walked into the bone room.
The door of the bone room is an iron door with rust spots on it.There are still many yellow talismans on the door.
After the little fly walked in, the iron door closed with a bang.Then a dim light shone through the window.I figured it was a little fly that lit an oil lamp.
I frowned, I went into that room with the old stall last time.It was filled with a strong smell of blood and stench, as well as some indescribable smells.These smells mixed together made me dizzy.
In the center of the house is a large pool.The big pool occupies almost all the space in the house.I can't imagine that if the little fly wants to sleep in it, does it want to sleep in that pool.
When I went in last time, there were still a lot of blood-red pieces of meat left in the pool.Those are the debris left over from the old stall.
Seeing the iron gate now, the scene I saw before came to my mind instantly.I seem to smell that stench again.I can't stand a place like this, let alone let me live in it, just let me stay in it for a while.You might as well kill me if you stay one night.
It seems that this little fly is also a strong taste, no wonder the fat man called him little fly, he really likes that taste?
But I thought about it, maybe the old stall is trying to hone the apprentice on purpose.
I was thinking wildly here, but there was no other movement from the bone room.
"Boss, sit down." Pang Dahai moved a chair from the side and placed it beside the coffin.
I sat down and looked at the long burning lamp and the incense stick in front of me.
The fat man yawned and said, "Boss, why don't you go to sleep for a while, and I'll just watch over here."
I shook my head and glanced at him: "You kid, do you want to rest by yourself?"
Fat Dahai chuckled: "I think it's a bit wasteful to leave the two of us here to waste the work of night watch."
I thought about it, and felt that what Pang Dahai said made sense, so I waved my hand: "Go to sleep first, don't sleep too hard, I always feel like something is going to happen tonight..."
Pang Dahai nodded: "Don't worry, boss, I will come out whenever there is any movement. I sleep lightly, and I will wake up when there is any movement..."
Pang Dahai patted his buttocks while talking and walked into the house. Within 2 minutes of entering the house, he heard a snoring sound.
I stood outside with black lines on my face. Is this Nima who sleeps lightly?It is estimated that if the fat man fell asleep, thunder might not wake him up.
But after the fat man slept for a while, as the sleep deepened, his snoring became much lighter, and occasionally he would utter a few vague words in his sleep.
On the other side of the bone room, the oil lamp was still on, so I wondered if the little fly had fallen asleep.
When Pang Dahai was around, I didn't feel anything.
This guy went to bed, and I was the only one left in the mourning hall.It seemed that the whole world became clean all of a sudden.
Looking at the big coffin, I suddenly felt a strong desire in my heart.I wonder if the person lying in the coffin will be an old stall?
Pang Dahai and I came to Mr. Tan's house just as he was having a funeral.The little fly said that Mr. Tan had passed away, and Pang Dahai and I naturally accepted the fact that he was dead.Although we also have doubts in our hearts, no one has thought about this issue.That is whether the coffin is empty, or whether the person lying in it is not an old man.
Because the old stall has a good reason for cheating, and that is the king's coin of Jiaqing Tongbao.
I know that after these five king coins are gathered, a big secret will be revealed.No one knows what this big secret is.It may be a big fortune, or it may be a big secret.In short, whoever uncovers this secret, maybe himself or someone else, will definitely undergo a big change.
According to the third uncle's speculation, if it is wealth, after getting it, the richest country dare not say that at least one party's richest man is inevitable.If it's a secret, then after knowing the secret, it should be a very common thing that you can even change your life against the sky and make a huge change in the life of yourself and your family.
Of course, Uncle San didn't go into more detail.Because he himself is speculating.He said that he didn't have enough brains, and if he thought about it more, he couldn't think of it.
Chapter 537
Therefore, almost everyone who knows the Five Emperors' Coins is frantically looking for these five ordinary-looking copper coins.Also exploring the secrets behind these five copper coins.
They all hope to use these five copper coins to change their destiny.
And the old stall must have known about these rumors before he got my Jiaqing Tongbao.Otherwise, he would not be interested in Jiaqing Tongbao either.And he must know more than my third uncle and I.It took him almost a year to do something with Jiaqing Tongbao.We have absolutely no idea.
Now there is a great possibility that the old stall owner has not yet achieved his expected goal when the one-year deadline comes.So he tried every means to delay the time, hoping to keep the Jiaqing Tongbao for a while longer.
Death is the best way to renege on debts.
This is the conclusion I have come to.Of course none of this has been verified.And to verify my conjecture, the best way to see it at present is to open the coffin to see if it is an old stall lying inside.
As soon as I made up my mind, my scalp went numb.Because I was taken aback by the idea myself.
I looked at the coffin suddenly. Although I couldn't see the inside of the coffin from the outside, the coffin was eerie from the inside to the outside.It's okay to say during the day, but at night, I'm the only one in the mourning hall, so the coffin looks awkward no matter how you look at it.
But the idea of opening the coffin became stronger and stronger.
I coughed lightly, but there was still no movement in the bone room.Not even the dim oil lamp flickered.
I stood up from the stool, just as the three sticks of incense that were originally lit were about to burn to the end.I put three sticks of incense on the head of the old stall again, bowed to the coffin a few times, and said silently in my heart: "Mr. Tan, I'm sorry. We haven't seen each other for a year, and I miss you very much. Now I take the liberty to leave Coffin, I'm greeting you. If there is any offense, I will burn some paper money for you as an apology."
Then, I put the incense into the incense burner.He took some paper money and threw it into the brazier to burn.
After burning a wad of paper money, my heart was a little more stable.
I walked gently to the front of the coffin, put my hand on the coffin board, and tapped three times with my fingers.
Tuk Tuk Tuk…
Three crisp voices came from the mourning hall.The voice was very soft, and it shouldn't alarm anyone except me.
This can be regarded as a rule. Before opening the coffin, you need to say hello to the deceased.
Then, I put my hand lightly on the eaves of the coffin lid.I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel that the temperature above the coffin seems to be colder.
But this feeling is not very obvious.I take it as normal.After all, there are dead people lying in it, and it is strange to have a temperature.
I struggled secretly, stretched out my hand and pushed the coffin lid.
Sure enough, the lid of the coffin was not sealed. Generally, in cases like this, the coffin is nailed to seal the coffin on the day of the funeral.Moreover, sealing the coffin requires certain procedures.
The coffin lid, pushed down by me, opened a gap.
It was dark inside the coffin, and I glanced around and couldn't see anything.
I didn't dare to push the lid of the coffin completely open, firstly because I was afraid that the little flies in the room would find out, and secondly because I was afraid that if something unexpected happened inside the coffin, I would not be able to handle it.
I saw a lot of candles piled up in the mourning hall, which should have been bought by the little flies.I picked up one and lit it with the flame of the ever-burning lamp, and brought the candle close to the crack of the coffin to light it, and looked in from the outside along the crack.
I got the angle right, the candle light shone in, just enough to hit a pale face.
Even though I had this mental preparation, seeing that white face still made me tremble, and the candle in my hand almost fell to the ground.
I quickly took a deep breath to stabilize the heart that almost jumped into my throat.
Gritting my teeth, I gently pushed the lid of the coffin a little further, and looked inside again.
The one lying inside is really an old stall.
That thin and thin face, because there was no blood color, became very creepy.Although it's a bit out of shape, but it can be seen that it is the old man himself.What is more obvious is the two cheekbones of the old stall, which are slightly higher than ordinary people.
I peeked at the bone room, but the little fly still didn't notice my movements in the mourning hall.
I was a lot more courageous, so I changed the angle of the candle and shone in.
I want to see the hands of the old stall.
The old stall was wearing a shroud, with his arms lying weakly on both sides of his body.The cuff of the shroud covered half of the palm, but the fingers were all exposed.
When I saw those hands, I immediately confirmed that the person inside was definitely the old man himself.
These hands cannot deceive anyone.
The old stall head is a bone picker, and he picks bones with his own hands.
Those hands were skinny, and the bones at the joints were much more swollen than other places, so those hands didn't look like human hands, they were almost like chicken feet, and it would be more appropriate to say they were ghost claws.Even if I forget the old stall's face, I can't forget his hands.
Seeing these, my nose is sore.I feel deeply ashamed of my actions.
It seems that the old man is really dead, and I am still doubting him here, which really makes me feel a little sad and ashamed.
I took one last look at the old stall inside, sighed, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan. Now that you're gone, I caught up with you. Let's get to know each other once. I'll definitely die for you. "
After speaking, I forcefully closed the coffin board again.
After confirming this matter, I felt a sense of relief.But from another point of view, when the old stall head died, the five emperors' coin of Jiaqing Tongbao would also be gone.
Now I'm not sure if what the little fly said is true or not.He said that the old stall owner did not mention the handing over of the items to him before he died, that is to say, he did not mention the five emperors' money.
So is it possible that the old stall owner told him about this matter, but the little fly saw that the Jiaqing Tongbao was precious, so he hid it privately, and kept silent to us?
After thinking about it, I can't really rule out this possibility.After all, we only met Little Fly for the first time, and we didn't know each other well.
In any case, the current situation is that we can only bury the old stall first.The dead are the big ones, no matter how anxious we are, we are not in a hurry for this moment.
I sat on the stool alone, feeling very complicated, and I burned paper for the old stall bit by bit, and I couldn't help feeling sad.
The mourning hall of the old stall was set up in the courtyard. The old man’s house was bare, and after his death, the mourning hall was simply propped up with a few wooden pillars and covered with a few pieces of tarpaulin.
Chapter 538
I was sitting next to the coffin of the old stall, and suddenly I heard the rustling of the thatch next to me.
At first I thought it was the wind, but I didn't care.
In fact, the clattering sound only lasted for a while and then stopped.
I continued to sit by the coffin to keep vigil for the old stall.I'm not related to the old stall, so I'm willing to keep a vigil for him here.After getting acquainted, I am willing to send Mr. Tan one last time.
After a period of calm, Pang Dahai's snoring sounded again.
This guy sleeps so soundly, this thing is daring and contagious.His snoring sounds like a lullaby to me.I couldn't help but yawned a few times.
I sat on the stool and leaned against the coffin involuntarily.
A burst of drowsiness hit me, and my eyelids slowly closed.This feeling came very suddenly, and I couldn't resist the sudden sleepiness at all.
However, I still maintain a sense of spirituality in my mind, and I seem to hear a slight sound of footsteps.And it seemed that someone had walked up to me.
I tried to open my eyes, but I felt weak all over.
It's not the first time I've felt this way, but this time it's the worst.And I also heard whispering voices in my ears, the voices were so weak that it was difficult to hear.
I tried my best to keep the little spiritual feeling left in my mind.I knew that if I lost even this bit of spiritual awareness, I wouldn't be able to feel anything.What's happening right now is definitely not normal.
But the little spiritual sense I had left was gradually disappearing.Because I heard the faint sound of mosquitoes and flies, and it became softer and softer.
I tried to move, but my body froze completely.
