Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1191

Facing Weiwei's surprised look, Wang Chen shook his head and said, "I can't understand Li Yujun's actions."

Liu Shitou on the side pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because you want to use this method to win the favor of the guests?"

Wang Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the use of trying to please? After all, the guests are not polite when they come here today."

Liu Shitou spread his hands and said: "Li Yujun is also a person who can't afford to do anything early. He can't be just trying to make up for some of his previous mistakes by engaging in such a formation, right?"

Wang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to think about it because I don't understand. Let's get down to business. If he has any evil intentions, I don't think he would dare to do it during the funeral. Otherwise, the hot water he sent out will be all gone." The guests have to throw it back at him."

Weiwei, Liu Shitou and Zhang Hu looked at each other and felt that what Wang Chen said made sense.

They all understood that Li Yujun's actions must have ulterior motives.

And this intention is definitely beneficial.

However, even if Li Yujun had evil intentions, he would definitely not dare to mess around at this time, so there was no need for them to waste too much energy on these matters.

About half an hour later, the guests had all arrived one after another.

After Wang Chen asked Zhang Hu and others to help deliver a white filial note to each guest, he started planning the funeral.

Before the funeral, all guests are required to wear mourning strips and line up to offer incense and burn paper.

In the eyes of the older generation, this is regarded as the last goodbye to the deceased.

The second step is to remove the lid of the coffin.

When the coffin lid is completely closed, the head of the family delivers the ax and coffin nails.

The ax hammer and the coffin nails are also particular.

There are three sayings here in Taoyuan Village.

When a person under the age of 73 dies, the ax needs to be wrapped in white cloth and the nails must be smashed in while shouting to the deceased to avoid it.

When a person over 73 years old dies, he needs to wrap the ax in red cloth and knock the nails three times while shouting at the deceased to get out of the way.

When a person over 84 years old dies, in addition to the handle of the ax needing to be wrapped in red cloth, the ax head also needs to be wrapped. When it is hit again, it can only be hit once, regardless of whether it goes in, there is no need to hit it again.

The old immortal is 85 years old, which is considered a blessing in Taoyuan Village.

Wang Chen raised the ax and yelled for Grandpa Li to avoid it, then he hit it hard.

A long nail quickly sank into the wooden coffin.

Then, Wang Chen handed the prepared mourning stick to Weiwei, and then stood aside.

After the coffin bearers came forward to tie the coffin, Wang Chen shouted: "Lift the coffin!"

"Hey!~"

The coffin bearers gave a low shout, then lifted the coffin and slowly walked outside.

At the street corner, Weiwei knelt down facing the coffin, raised the porcelain basin in her hand and slammed it down. As the cries rang out, the funeral procession and the coffin bearers slowly walked towards the mountain.

Weddings and funerals have one thing in common, that is, both the welcoming and funeral processions move very slowly.

Wang Chen didn't know the specific meaning of this. He only heard people say that it was to let the deceased see the street scene in the village again, and also to let the villagers see the deceased who was about to be buried.

In this area of ​​Taoyuan Village, funeral mourners cannot go directly to the grave. They have to wait until the third day.

So, after walking about a hundred steps, the funeral procession stepped aside, and the coffin bearers followed the people who threw money away toward the mountains.

After watching the coffin bearer walk another hundred steps, Wang Chen looked at Zhang Hu and the others and said: "There are still some things on the grave that I need to deal with. You guys go back with Weiwei first.

After you go back, remember to place a basin at the door with a kitchen knife in it. Every time someone comes in, let them turn over the kitchen knife.

Then, a small block of stones was built where the coffin was originally parked, and the grains and the linen clothes Weiwei were wearing were placed behind the water tank. "

Zhang Hu has also heard of these customs, such as turning over a knife when entering a door, which means cutting off the yin and yang of the deceased.

The coffin was built with stones to prevent the soul of the deceased from leaving.As for putting linen and grains behind the water tank, it represents the preservation of wealth for future generations.

Zhang Hu nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of these things with Xiao Wu."

Wang Chen added: "Also, arrange for Su Yu'er and the others to be prepared to entertain guests, and still organize banquets from the school."

As he said that, Wang Chen glanced at Li Yujun: "As for the Li family, no matter what their intentions are, just ignore them and try to delay them until I get back."

Zhang Hu and Liu Shitou nodded one after another, then returned to Weiwei and helped her walk home together.

Wang Chen, on the other hand, did not pause and quickly caught up with the funeral procession.

According to custom, the coffin cannot be lowered to the ground before burial.

However, the road was a bit long after all, so the coffin bearers prepared some wooden stools.When he couldn't walk anymore, he put the coffin on the wooden stool.

There are different sayings in different places here.

Here in Taoyuan Village, it is usually the son-in-law of the deceased who leads the coffin bearers with money. Every time he stops, the son-in-law has to give cigarettes to the coffin bearers. Before the final burial, he has to give cigarettes to each person. Send a red envelope.

The old fairy had no children, so Wang Chen gave the money to a relatively reliable villager and gave him a big red envelope.

As for the coffin bearer, he is responsible for giving out smoke and red envelopes.

The journey was smooth and uneventful.

More than 20 minutes later, they arrived at the chosen cemetery.

After Wang Chen dispersed another round of smoke for everyone, he took advantage of the auspicious time to formally bury the old god.

Before this, although Wang Chen was quite sad and sad, he always felt that the old god was still around, and that kind of trance made him not express his sadness.

However, when he saw shovels of soil covering the coffin, he couldn't help but feel a sad feeling in his heart.

And the eyes couldn't help but become red.

Life is full of life.

Decades seem to be a long time, but in reality they are very short.

Life comes empty-handed, and death also leaves empty-handed.

Just looking at this, one can't help but sigh. What is this man doing all his life?

But when I thought about it again, I realized that although I came and went empty-handed in life and death, I had left a lot for the people around me in the past few decades.

In particular, his help and kindness to these people will not only be remembered forever, but at least they will never be forgotten.

"Chenzi, it's all done."

Half an hour later, a coffin bearer came over and said.

Wang Chen looked at the tall grave mound and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said: "When you are born, some people laugh, and when you die, some people cry. This should be called a lifetime, right?"

The coffin bearer patted him on the shoulder: "Human, no matter whether you are alive or dead, it's just four words."

"Which four words?" Wang Chen asked.

"Confused!" the coffin bearer laughed.

Wang Chen was a little confused at first, but soon understood the meaning.

He smiled: "Let's go back too."

The group of people slowly descended the mountain and soon returned to the old god's home.

But before they entered the courtyard, they heard a loud noise coming from inside...
