The mountain was very quiet in the middle of the night, and there seemed to be no lights on the ground that could echo the lights I mentioned, but the stars in the sky that day seemed to be showing signs in the distance. It can't be said that it has no effect at all, but sometimes, it is not so easy to see through the past and the future.

"I don't know how many books I can leave in my life, how many will be remembered?"

Ji Mo thinks this way, in his boring and ordinary daily life, he seems to always think too much about the aftermath, perhaps because of the influence of the environment, every night, he wanders among the tombs, bypassing the tombs. Tombstones, trees, like a maze that can never be walked out, an unsolvable life obstacle, how long is this road?

It took about half an hour to make a round of inspection. This is still Ji Mo's legs and feet are fast, and he didn't dawdle on the mountain. Can procrastinate for an hour and come back.

Not long after returning to the room and falling asleep, Ji Mo felt the movement of the bed next door. It was Ge Shan who woke up.

He opened his sleepy eyes and looked over at Ge Shan. He seemed to have noticed it, looked over, and waved his hand: "It's okay, sleep with you."

The sky is not yet bright, it is the darkest time before dawn, but Ge Shan can no longer sleep, he is getting older, and often feels powerless, but with this mental head, he can no longer sleep until dawn like before Instead, he woke up very early, as if he would not be able to get up after lying down for a while longer.

Ge Shan made the breakfast, he didn't have the role of Jimo, he waited for him to get up and then had lunch, originally, he was also the one who ate lunch, but now, he got up early and didn't eat breakfast, it seems The stomach is empty, and there must be something to eat.

After eating, he walked out of the door and stood in the courtyard for a while. Looking at the sunny red sun, he thought of going out for a walk. He walked out of the courtyard door, concealed his backhand, and walked towards the village step by step. Before going out to work, Ge Shan walked around the village, and when he reached the bottom of the mountain, he walked up the mountain again.

Early in the morning, the dew condensed on the grass blades, before it was evaporated by the sun, it rubbed on Ge Shan’s clothes because of his walking. He didn’t approve the coir raincoat, so he made some mistakes. He didn’t even put on the straw sandals on his shoes. It felt like the shoe was soaked.

This feeling was very bad and uncomfortable, but Ge Shan didn't think about going down the mountain, he had already walked halfway, and he had to walk around at least.

When he first worked as a cemetery keeper, he would walk around the mountain a few times a day to familiarize himself with the positions of the tombstones and figure out where to put them if another person died.

People die every year, people are born every year, the dead make room for the living, but the living can't make room for the dead. There are more and more graves on this mountain. One day, there will be nothing Places where these tombstones are in full bloom, what should we do then?

Looking for a new place?

Where is it?

The tombkeeper's understanding of Fengshui is really limited to what he knows, no matter how far away, the theoretical knowledge may know a little, and it can be put into reality...

"The sunny side is not good, it's too hot, the shady side..."

The mountain is not big, it’s only this big, and children won’t feel too tired when they climb up. Most of the places where people can be buried are now occupied, and those who die later will not have a good place. If they are placed on the side corner...

Thinking about this, Ge Shan was a little worried, but he didn't stop walking, he was still walking up, he didn't bring a cane, he just walked like this, but his body couldn't keep up after all, his weak legs stumbled somewhere All of a sudden, like falling on the ground, he fell straight forward, and once he fell, he never got up again.

"...It's also a joyous mourning."

When preparing for Ge Shan's funeral, someone in the village said this, but Ji Mo didn't say a word. When he first met Ge Shan, the other party looked like he was in his 40s. Up to now, it is true that it is a happy funeral, but, it can really be done. "Happy" out?

"After guarding the tomb for a lifetime, can't you take a break? Who told me before that when I can guard the tomb, I will marry a wife and have a son by myself. Why did I think of going to the mountains again? I haven't been there for several days. Is it? Obviously nothing happened. "

In the middle of the night, Ji Mo didn't ask the villagers to come over to watch the spirit. He knelt and sat in front of the coffin alone, burning paper, watching the sparks bloom, and muttering, looking at the coffin in front of him. This is what Ge Shan prepared for himself ten years ago. It is the wood left over from the early years, and it was made with the help of the best carpenter in the village.

Ji Mo originally said that he could do it himself, but Ge Shan didn't believe it. He was afraid that he would spoil the good board, so he insisted on hiring a carpenter, and then wanted to take away the other party's wages. His mother-in-law was a vicious one, she came to scold him directly, and then she simply took away a chicken in the yard.

At that time, Ji Mo looked at it, and he didn't have the nerve to stop him. It's really wrong not to pay the wages. It's a chicken, that's all.

When Ge Shan came back, he scolded him for a long time as a "coward", saying "I'm afraid of even a woman, and I will definitely not be able to marry a wife in the future".

Ji Mo didn't care too much. It's not that the tomb keeper can't marry a wife and have children. There is no such prohibition, but how much effort can he have to marry a wife and have children?

Ge Shan's fearful face probably delayed the marriage because of his fierce face, and Ji Mo's purely because he didn't want to find someone to add another layer of difficulty to his life.

A person, without care, is actually quite good.

At least, I don't have any more nostalgia for this world, and I won't be unable to let go when I leave.

"Don't worry, my paper-making skills are excellent. I will surely make some beauties for you to accompany you. They are ordinary beauties. Don't think too much. Don't do those shady ones. It's unlucky. At most, I can do better." Look better, I have already learned how to draw, and if I draw a beautiful face, it will definitely look much better..."

There was a piece of paper money thrown into the brazier, and a stack of paper money in his hand couldn't help burning, and soon half of it was gone, but Ji Mo didn't hesitate, he didn't care about the little money that Ge Shan had accumulated, he used it for him, used it In his body, he didn't enjoy it when he was alive, and he can't lose it when he dies. That's right.

In a lifetime, there must always be something pleasant. When you die, you can not think about the money you haven't spent, which is the best.

"Tell me, why do you insist on going up the mountain? What's so good about the mountain?"

Ji Mo didn't know what Ge Shan was thinking when he died. When he found Ge Shan, he was already cold, so when he fell down, did he ever think of asking for help, did he call for help?

No one knew where he was, or Ji Mo waited until he came back for lunch at noon, so he went around the village and asked, but he said he didn't see him. He went to the mountain to search, and only then found Ge Shan's body.

He couldn't fight back by himself, and didn't want to drag him all over his body, so he went to the village to report. With the help of a few young men, he got the body back, and even the coffin was placed properly with their help.

I have learned a lot of funeral rites, but when it really comes to this kind of time, my mind is a mess, what to do and what not to do, it was someone else who asked me, and Ji Mo finally realized, oh, this step should be like this, next step One step is like that.

"Why is there a parting between life and death? Every time, after getting acquainted, like relatives, there will be parting..."

In many worlds, Ji Mo's master is a blood relative of the body. This kind of parting may not be more painful, but it is even more sad. In this world, the person closest to me has passed away again, like the string on a kite. If one is broken, when all the strings are broken, should the kite fly away, or should it fall?

In the past, Ji Mo didn't dare to face such a life-or-death situation. He always wanted to go ahead and rush to take the exam after completing the task, fearing that he would get zero points if he was late.

Later, he learned to find some value from this long life. Perhaps, his appearance may not be a kind of compensation for these masters. The inheritance that was forced to be lost was passed on because he met a suitable person. , which also seems to look good.

Maybe after this succession, the latter skill will not be lost again, so, it's also very good!

Even if it is also lost, but enough legends have been left behind to let future generations know that there was such a skill and such a thing, it is not so unknown, as if it has never appeared, it is very good.

After keeping watch all night, Ji Mo coughed a little in the early morning of the second day, and in the dark circles of his eyes, there were a lot of red blood in those eyes, as if smoked out by the brazier.

On the day of the funeral, the team did not go very far. The courtyard was already very close to the mountain. Ji Mo also knew that the tombs on the mountain were already close together, so he did not choose to fill in the gaps. Ji Mo chose a corner near the courtyard. Well, Ge Shan's master, the previous gravekeeper, also placed his own tomb here, and now Ge Shan's tomb is next to him, which is very good.

Ji Mo has already thought about it. When he dies, he can put his own grave here too. Directly behind the yard, there are several gravekeepers' graves lined up, in order of one, two, three, four. Five places down the row...

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be some fun, but unfortunately, this idea may be difficult to achieve.

Tomb guard is not a lifelong career. Both Ge Shan and Ge Shan’s master have been doing it for a lifetime, but this is their situation. Other grave guards can change shifts after 20 years at most, that is, Ge Shan’s master, guarding For the tomb of a lifetime, he simply placed his own tomb behind the yard of the gravekeeper.

When Ge Shan was alive, he also said that he would put his tomb here and not crowd people on the mountain. He also told Ji Mo that he must burn more paper to worship. once.

What did Ji Mo say at that time?

"I watch it every day, and I go around to the back of the yard to watch it."

If it's the same as a joke, it will be done in the future.
