Zhuo Datong ran over and opened the door cautiously, but only opened a gap for one person to pass through.
Old man Ye came in first with a pipe in his mouth, followed by his two apprentices, a middle-aged man and a young man.
The eyes of the three of them were almost at the same time fixed on the tightly wrapped corpse in the shade.
Old Man Ye frowned and walked quickly over, carrying a cloth bag in his hand, bulging, and he didn't know what he was carrying.
"Tell me what you saw this morning." After a moment of silence, Old Man Ye ordered Zhuo Datong.
Zhuo Datong has long been a master of six gods, and the other party sells coffins. He has come into contact with more things in this area, and he must be more experienced than himself, so he immediately explained the process of waking up in the morning.
In order to describe it in detail, he even wiped a few tissues when he went to the toilet to make it clear.
If it weren't for Old Man Ye to stop, he would also like to talk about the fact that he actually had a large external hemorrhoid on his butt.
It was hard to finish telling the story of the morning in detail. Old man Ye and his two apprentices looked very ugly after listening.
To be honest, they have never encountered this kind of thing, but they have heard of the resurrection of the dead, but that is a real resurrection, which can be explained from a medical perspective.
But the corpse in front of me, according to Zhuo Datong's narrative, is really just a corpse. It is impossible for one to crawl out of the grave and return home to sit on the corpse.
Moreover, Old Man Ye's nose was very bright. Although the corpse was wrapped thickly on the outside, he still smelled the rancid smell coming out of it.
Old man Ye is very familiar with this kind of smell, because it is used to make coffins. Sometimes people from poor families die and cannot afford to rent ice coffins. In the hot season, it will stink for about three or two days. This is the smell. .
Prove that this is indeed a corpse.
"I'll say it again, we are not a professional corpse lifter, just a favor." Old man Ye emphasized again.
He still couldn't figure out why Jiang Guirong would return home after death.
But now that the situation has happened, plus two thousand yuan can be made in one day, he did not postpone it.
Zhuo Datong couldn't help but nodded, indicating that everything would follow Old Man Ye's arrangement.
Old Man Ye let the others rest first. He took out a bottle of seemingly pure water from his cloth bag, and took out a branch that was already withered, covered the branch with this, and then threw it on the corpse.
While throwing water droplets, while muttering words, he kept moving around the corpse.
After a while, the bottle of water was all used up, and Old Man Ye sat cross-legged next to the corpse again, squirming in his mouth, not knowing what to say.
After about another half an hour, he finally stopped, supported his hands on the ground, and slowly stood up, and then sat down again with a thumping butt, and jumped with fright, thinking that it was Old Man Ye who was not hesitating to lose his body. Drive away the ghost and quickly stand up and look.
Seeing Old Man Ye pounding his knees, his face was embarrassed and said, "My legs are numb."
Two apprentices walked over, one left and the other helped him to sit down on a nearby wooden chair.
Old Man Ye rubbed his legs and asked, "Datong, did you hear anything unusual last night? Well, not just last night, when it's dawn?"
Zhuo Datong shook his head: "Actually, I doze lightly, but I hear nothing. The room is very quiet."
"Didn't you see Gui Rong sitting in the yard after speaking? Where is she sitting?" Old man Ye asked.
"Well, just sit with you." Zhuo Datong pointed to the wooden chair under his buttocks, "Sit on this wooden chair."
"Well, I'm 芔芔..."
Old man Ye's feet are no longer numb, he stood up suddenly, and said to one of the apprentices: "Qiu Sheng, give me water to ward off evil spirits!"
Contaminated with bad luck, he is going to shower his butt with evil spirits, otherwise he may be unlucky in the days to come, at least he will have psychological hints.
"Master, didn't you just run out?" The apprentice Qiusheng answered honestly.
"Wencai, go back and get another bottle."
Another apprentice agreed and opened the courtyard door and disappeared quickly.
"We won't leave today for the time being, we will just eat here, and we can do things when it gets dark in the evening." Old man Ye said to Zhuo Da.
Zhuo Datong hurriedly nodded: "Thank you Lao Ye, thank Lao Ye! I will just prepare the food. Last time there were half a pig's head and two pig ears frozen in the freezer. We just made it.
While talking, Zhuo Da walked into the room together.
"Is there any wine? Without me, let the apprentice go back and get some." Old man Ye asked deliberately.
"Yes, yes, there were three bottles of Baiqu left at the banquet last time, is that enough?" Zhuo Datong said enthusiastically.
"Enough is enough."
After Zhuo Datong entered the room to prepare dinner, Wen returned shortly after returning to fetch evil spirits water.
After entering the courtyard gate, he handed a mineral water bottle to Old Man Ye.
Old man Ye was taken aback as a result: "Why... It's iced?"
"I don't know." Wencai shrugged, "Senior lady said that when you run out of the kind you want, take out a bottle from the refrigerator."
Old man Ye: "..."
After a long time to recover, I took the mineral water bottle and poured some iced water on the dying branch, hit my butt twice, and said: "Fortunately, I still have my willow branch blessing to ward off evil, otherwise How can a bottle of mineral water work!"
One day passed quickly.
For dinner, four people ate pork head meat. Old man Ye drank two bottles of white wine alone, and Qiu Shengwen only had one bottle. Zhuo Datong had no appetite. White wine was even more symbolic. He just raised his glass and touched his lips.
The two apprentices were not drunk, but Old Man Ye fell asleep on the cloth sofa in the back room shortly after the meal.
After eleven o'clock in the evening, the night lights on the street in the town were dim and it was hard to see a person on the road.
Zhuo Datong awoke old man Ye, and the other party was still waking up quickly. The two apprentices waiting next to each other carried the corpse. The four quietly left the gate of the hospital, leaving Jiang Guirong’s corpse to open earlier. Come over and pull the coffin in the small truck.
Qiusheng drove, and the four of them took advantage of the night to leave Beifeng Town and drove towards Beifeng Canyon.
The journey went smoothly, and soon came to the graveyard and found Jiang Guirong's tomb.
In the daytime, before going to Zhuo Datong's house, the old man Ye had actually seen it. At this moment, the soil in this tomb was indeed turned up, part of the small soil bag had collapsed, and the coffin board was also opened.
Qiu Shengwen put the corpse back into the grave, and did not unwrap the package again. In fact, they thought it was unnecessary to untie it again, because some of the body water had already soaked the tightly wrapped sheets.
Take out two shovel from the back of the small truck, re-bury the body in the soil, and stack the stones neatly, so that the tomb bag remains regular again.
It's already one o'clock in the morning after finishing these tasks.
The four returned to the town, and Zhuo Datong thanked the old man Ye and his apprentice for a while before returning home.
It was also due to the many acquaintances in the town before, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with this strange incident.
Old man Ye asked him just now whether Jiang Guirong had any unfulfilled last wishes, or other things he couldn't rest assured.
But to be honest, Jiang Guirong’s illness is not a day or two. The funeral matters that should be explained and what should be said to Zhuo Datong have been done. Zhuo Datong could not find any reason for Jiang Guirong to return home with the current horrible appearance. .
He folded his hands together, stood in the yard and looked up at the night sky, facing the direction of Beifeng Canyon, and said softly: "Gui Rong, you rest in peace! I will live for a few more years to meet with you." (This chapter Finish)
