The fifth master, Guan Shizhi, felt that after he returned to China, the sky changed.
Before leaving the country, his father, Grandpa Guan, was still there. When the sky fell, there was Dinghaishen needle against him, and everyone had a backbone. Although the Guan family at that time was declining day by day, the glory of the old days was still there. The old man had a good relationship with local politicians and celebrities. They also have a little military and political power, which is enough for the Guan family to live a stable and nourishing life in Fengtian City.
But after he went abroad, the country, especially the three eastern provinces, underwent earth-shaking changes. The northeast that Guan Shizhi knew was no longer the northeast it used to be, and most of the familiar faces in Fengtian City disappeared.
The rest, with the death of the old man, is like drinking water, knowing whether it is cold or warm.
In the past few days, the successive changes in the Guan family have completely collapsed Guan Shizhi's world.
After the paper money was burned in the brazier, the ashes were blown up by the wind and floated everywhere, exactly the same as the scene of his father's death.
However, the person lying in the coffin this time was replaced by his second sister-in-law.
That young and beautiful woman who spoke softly, but had a very arrogant temperament, died.
The Guan family all said that He was humiliated and died by Ling Shu.
However, Ling Shu's whereabouts are unknown, and no one has been found so far.
Then something happened to Yue Dingtang.
He was on his way to the municipal office when the car was bombed.
The driver was killed on the spot, and Ying Zuo, Guan Shizhi's classmate, was seriously injured and is still in a coma.
Guan Shizhi went to the hospital to visit Yingzuo and Yue Dingtang. The latter was better. Although he was injured, it was not a serious problem. He might be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital after a while.
But just the day after Guan Shizhi left the hospital, the Guan family heard that there was an explosion in the hospital where Yue Dingtang was located, and the location of the explosion might still be Yue Dingtang's ward.
He Guanshi went for a trip and returned empty-handed, because the hospital had been emptied and blocked, and people around had different opinions, some said that there were heavy casualties, and some said that there were piles of corpses that were bombed and smashed down. Yue Ding Tang Sheng didn't see anyone, and he didn't see a corpse. He Guanshi couldn't find anyone to ask, and he didn't know where they went. When he came back and said, the Guan family panicked.
On the one hand, after the death of the old man, the second master of the Guan family was the one who came forward. Although the eldest and the fourth may not obey him, but now when they need to come forward, no one can carry it out. The fourth master is usually extraordinary. The eldest man does not need to say anything about the trivial housework. He died suddenly and unexpectedly. The second master was in a trance and was in a trance. He asked three questions and answered one question.
On the other hand, Yue Dingtang came here for the funeral, and he disappeared in the great Fengtian City like this. No one would believe it, let alone the Yue family behind him. It's okay to want Yue Dingtang to be alone, but the Yue family is not easy to offend, and the Guan family is worried about how to explain to the Yue family. After thinking about it, there is no good reason.
Under such a situation, Lao Wu Guan Shizhi had to bite the bullet and ran to the Municipal Office to ask about Yue Dingtang's whereabouts, but he almost didn't let anyone blow him out. His old classmate Ying Zuo is now dead. , and could not help him recommend a way, Guan Shizhi came back dejected, standing at the door of Guan's house, there was a sense of helplessness and desolation of the world and the world.
Guan Shizhi stood there for a long time, still confused and clueless, he couldn't help but sighed and walked in.
As soon as I crossed the threshold, I heard the fourth master say to the second master: "Second brother, in my opinion, it is better to finish the funeral of the second sister-in-law as soon as possible. Don't wait for seven days, and carry it up the mountain as soon as possible."
The second master took a while to wake up from his confusion. Hearing the fourth master's words, he was immediately furious.
"Your second sister-in-law died so tragically that you didn't even catch the murderer, so you want to hurry up and cover up the truth!"
The fourth master said earnestly: "Second brother, it's not that I can't get through with the second sister-in-law, you know, the second sister-in-law died unexpectedly, and the death is unlucky. Our family has not been in good shape since the death of my father, and now even Dingtang's whereabouts are unknown, I just asked for bail Jiaxian calculated, tomorrow noon will be an auspicious time, if the second sister-in-law is buried at that time, it will be safe, and you don't want the Guan family to be in bad luck from now on, right?"
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
The second master rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat him up, but he saw the eldest master take a step forward and actually stopped him in front of the fourth master, who was always disliked by him on weekdays.
"Second brother, I, the eldest brother, let me tell you a few words. We are also very sad about the younger brother and sister, but there is a lot of talk outside. They are all saying that the second younger brother and sister are misbehaving and their reputation is harmed, so logically she still can't enter. She is from the ancestral tomb, but we are kind and generous to the family. You said that you want her to enter the ancestral tomb and enter the ancestral temple. We have no objection, but this matter must be dealt with quickly to prevent the night from dreaming. think!"
Guan Shizhi was surprised that the eldest man could suddenly say such a long speech.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable.
He didn't have any feelings for this little sister-in-law, and when he heard the two of them say this, he said something along the way.
"Second brother, just listen to everyone's advice. If our family can be smooth sailing in the future, then the second sister-in-law will know about it, and I must not care about it. It's a big deal that we burn more things for her during the festival, so we won't be in these few days. already."
The second master's face turned blue and white, and finally fell down.
"Whatever you want!"
The matter of He's burial was so hastily decided.
Early the next morning, the second master vomited and had diarrhea and could not get out of bed, but it didn't matter, He's funeral was already prepared, and around noon, eight young and strong young men lifted the coffin and started from the Guan's house to the outside of the city. Walking up the mountain, there were also temporarily hired dutiful sons and filial piety, who held banners and blew chanting, and Guan Si Master and Lao Yuan, as representatives of the Guan family, followed along the way.
Not long after going out, Fourth Master felt something different.
"This Fengtian City, why are there so many police officers all of a sudden, they are still asking around, what happened?"
The funeral of He's family and the disappearance of Yue Dingtang made the Guan family uneasy. Except for He Guanshi and Guan Shizhi, everyone else had not gone out for several days.
"You forgot, the fifth master came back and said that Young Master Yue's car was bombed. It is rumored that some people wanted to deal with a certain big man, but the big man happened to change the car temporarily, and it was Young Master Yue's turn to be unlucky, because of this matter, The whole Fengtian is under martial law now, and we will definitely be searched when we go out this time."
Lao Yuan's voice was steady and steady, not a little panic, not a little calm, just like his existence in the Guan family all these years, inconspicuous, but indispensable, even if there are always some contradictions between the brothers of the Guan family, there is no People went to Lao Yuan's place.
The fourth master snorted: "Then, when we leave the city later, will we be interrogated?"
Lao Yuan said: "The interrogation is definitely possible, but there are corpses in the coffin, and it is impossible to greatly change the living. It should be fine."
It didn't take long for his words to be verified.
There were several times more patrols at the city gates than usual. When they saw anyone, they stopped them, regardless of gender, age, or child. They didn’t even let go of the eggs in the basket. , that's called kindness. If someone is not greedy enough to take half of it directly, the person carrying the basket can only secretly complain and dare not have a single complaint.
The fourth master is a local and knows the rules. Before the coffin is near, people will greet him first, smiling, and giving each of the guards a red seal.
"Drink money, don't be polite to the officers!"
"What about the funeral?" asked Police A, one of the guards.
The fourth master reported himself: "Yes, we belong to the Guan family. My late father, Guan Desheng, is also considered a gentleman in Fengtian City. I am the fourth in the ranking. Some of you may remember."
The weight is not too light, and the attitude of the other party is naturally much better.
"It turned out to be the Guan family of the old master. We naturally recognize you. You are the fourth master of Guan who is a hundred spirits, right?"
"Fourth Master, I remember you. My daughter-in-law went to you last month to do the math, and she came back and said that you were effective!"
"Fourth Master, show it to me too!"
Unexpectedly, he would meet fans during the funeral, and the Fourth Master was so happy that he almost sold them on Bao Jiaxian. Thinking that he had a task at hand, he made an urgent turn when he said that.
"A few, a few! My second sister-in-law is lying in this coffin. She died of a sudden illness a few days ago. Today is an auspicious time. We have to send people to the burial. , I will definitely open the door to welcome you at Guan Si."
Police B said: "Fourth Master, it's not that we want to embarrass you. There has been a big event in the past few days, and the city is full of storms. We have been ordered to block it here, and we will search when we see it. Even the coffin, you have to let us take a look."
Fourth Master: "That's natural! The lid of the coffin is not closed. The coffin can't fall to the ground before it reaches the grave. How many of you are here to help?"
Everyone worked together to remove the corner of the coffin lid, and a pale and pale face came into view.
No matter how good-looking Mr. He was during his lifetime, anyone who looked at this posthumous appearance would be horrified.
A few guards didn't want to look at it too much, just glanced at it as a cross.
"Fourth Master, let me remind you, there is a curfew at night, you have to come back in time for Shen Shi, or you will have to spend the night outside!"
"Thank you for the reminder, thank you for the reminder!"
The four masters thanked them and hurried out of the city with the crowd and the coffin.
It stands to reason that a weak woman from the He family is not heavy, and with the coffin, it is still safe for eight people to carry it.
But somehow, the eight people always felt that the coffin was heavier than anything they had ever carried.
"Why is this coffin so heavy? Could it be some grievance?"
One of the coffin bearers couldn't help but murmured.
The fourth master next to him heard the words, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help urging them: "Let's go quickly, go back before the curfew, there is a banquet waiting for you in the Guan family! You have to carry the coffin firmly, don't let it fall. , the coffin is ominous!"
The cemetery had been selected and dug long ago, and going up the mountain and dropping the coffin went smoothly, but when the incense was worshipped, the incense could not be lit at all. It just happened that the sky changed suddenly, and the sky was clear and dark clouds rolled, and it seemed that there was going to be one. torrential rain.
The fourth master was anxious and annoyed. He was really afraid that he would not be able to make it back. He would have to spend the night in this cemetery. The next thing was to hit a ghost later. Anyway, it was his own ghost.
At this time, Lao Yuan spoke up.
"Fourth Master, take someone back first. I can watch the night here, and I will seal the land."
Fourth Master hesitated: "Then where do you live, sleep, and eat?"
Lao Yuan said lightly: "I have dry food on me, and not far in front there is the thatched cottage where I kept the old man's night vigil, which is enough to shelter from the wind and rain."
The fourth master breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a hurry: "Then I have to work for you. When you return to the house tomorrow, I will let the big brother prepare a banquet for you!"
Lao Yuan: "You're welcome, it's all from your own family."
Fourth Master: "Yes, you're right, it's all from my own family!"
After a few words of greetings, the Fourth Master hurriedly took the people away.
Shortly after he left, the sky really started to rain.
But Lao Yuan did not rush to take shelter from the rain, but jumped into the pit, removed the soil that had fallen on the coffin earlier, and pushed open the coffin lid with great difficulty.
"You are trying harder yourself!" He couldn't help complaining into the coffin.
If the Fourth Master was here, he would definitely be scared out of white sweat.
After a while, there was movement in the coffin.
The sound of the body moving, and the dull coughing sound.
