Chapter Twenty-Four: Hu Da Niu
Hu Daniu looked at the coffin almost in front of his house with a depressed face, and for a long time, he listened to him scold hatefully:
"Damn it, I'm messing with someone, as for letting me carry it!"
Thinking of Boss Chen's appearance of venting all his anger on himself today, his teeth itched with anger. But having said that, it's no wonder that others are still willing to meddle in their own affairs and be willing to have more useless mouths.
Knowing that Boss Chen was angry, he had to say that the rules could not be broken, so he directly found a place to burn and bury the coffin, and there would be no such unfortunate thing.
"Well, since they've already sent me here, I'll help you keep this last day. No matter what......"
Hu Daniu suddenly closed his mouth when he said this, and then as if he was afraid of being heard, he looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then pumped his mouth and muttered:
"How did I become like Zhao Kuai's mouth, I want to say anything."
Hu Daniu rubbed his old face that was a little swollen and painful, and his expression when he looked at the coffin looked a little strange.
Today is Xiaoli's first seventh, and it is also the last day of the corpse in Hulu Village, and she can be buried as soon as it is over today. Hulu Village generally uses burial, and burial is only used in special circumstances.
For example, people like Xiaoli who died unnatural deaths.
Because such dead people are full of resentment in their eyes, if the corpses are not burned, there is a possibility of defrauding the corpses and harming people. As for this corpse guard, to put it bluntly, it is also to resolve the grievances of the deceased.
Hu Daniu doesn't know much about this, after all, his real profession is a carpenter, not only making coffins but also other furniture. As for his identity as Mr. Yin and Yang, he completely went up by himself.
Anyway, no one in the village understands this aspect, and he is not exactly selling dog meat paste on the head of a sheep, and he can be regarded as knowing some fur.
After tossing and turning for a while, Hu Daniu moved the coffin from outside the door into his yard.
Because his wife died early, he didn't even have a child, so he lived alone, so he was not afraid of anything, and after the coffin was placed, he found some white silk from the house to mourn, and arranged the coffin decently.
But when it is said to be an arrangement, it is actually a kind of protection of fear, which is to seal the undead in the coffin in the coffin, so as not to deceive the corpse and jump out and harm people.
"That's it."
Hu Daniu clapped his hands with relief, and seeing that it was not too early, there was a feeling of hunger in his stomach, so he closed the courtyard door and returned to his house.
Only a coffin wrapped in white silk remained, and water was constantly seeping out from the seams of the coffin lid.
"Hiss......"
Coming out of Boss Chen's house, Xia Qi and Leng Yue were just about to leave here to find those villagers who might know something, but they were stopped by Boss Chen, who hurriedly came out of the house:
"Wait a minute, comrades."
Hearing that Boss Chen called him and Leng Yue "comrades", Xia Qi's eyebrows couldn't help but pick, and then said to Leng Yue beside him with a strange expression:
"Yueyue, did you hear what he said?"
"What?"
"He said we were comrades, but we didn't have anything to do with each other."
Hearing this, Leng Yue was halfway through and found that Xia Qi was shamelessly teasing himself again, he snorted dissatisfiedly, and turned his body to Boss Chen, who had already come to them.
"Is there anything else going on with Brother Chen?"
Leng Yue was still as gentle as before.
"Isn't it because of family affairs, hey, you really see the joke. My daughter-in-law there...... And that silly boy in my house...... Ay! ”
Speaking of this, Boss Chen couldn't help but sigh sadly.
They had just come out of Chen Cong's house, so they had an understanding of Chen Cong's current situation. Although Chen Cong was dehydrated and only had one breath left, he didn't swallow this breath, I don't know if the female ghost still wanted to torture him for a while.
As for Boss Chen's current situation, I think he had already learned about the investigation they had done in the village today, so he chased them out and explained some things to them.
"Brother Chen, where are you talking about, we understand your current feelings, this kind of bereavement is not something that everyone can bear, we came here to disturb at this time, we are the ones who should say sorry."
Don't look at Leng Yue, who usually has a stinky face and doesn't like to talk much, but she is quite good at talking about this kind of thing, which also makes Xia Qi feel that Leng Yue is not bad at talking, but she doesn't want to take care of herself at all.
Hearing Leng Yue say this, the sadness on Boss Chen's face couldn't help but decrease a little, and he said again and again with gratitude:
"It's good for you to understand, it's good to understand. If you have anything you need me to do, in a word, my boss Chen will definitely do what he says. ”
"With Brother Chen's words, we are relieved......"
After that, the two of them talked to Boss Chen for a while before sending Boss Chen back.
After Boss Chen left, they first went back to their room and sat symbolically for a while, and soon left under the cover of night.
It's just that what they didn't notice was that Boss Chen had been standing in front of the window of the opposite room with a gloomy face, watching them leave thoughtfully.
As soon as Hu Daniu had finished the meal, and before he even served it, he heard the shouts of his neighbor Wang:
"Big bull? Daniel? ”
Because they are both confidants of Boss Chen, and their neighbors live in frequent contacts, the relationship is very good.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Moving the pot of stir-fry from the stove, Hu Daniu hurriedly ran out and opened the door for Lao Wang.
"What's the matter, it sounds like a soul, I'm cooking, have you eaten?"
"I didn't eat it, and I can't eat it to be honest." After Lao Wang finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing:
"It's been a few days, and I've been flustered, always feeling like something terrible is going to happen."
"Okay, don't scare yourself, what terrible thing can happen to our village. Even the birds are too lazy to in our village! ”
Although Hu Daniu said this, he was also weak in his heart, because this feeling had suppressed him for several days.
"To say that you may laugh at me, ever since I saw the floating corpse of that, I had nightmares every night, in which it turned into a ghost, and then grabbed me by the neck and said it was coming for revenge!
You say that if people do bad things, will they really be punished and will be retaliated against by ghosts? ”
Lao Wang said very seriously, Hu Daniu saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so the corners of his mouth twitched, and comforted:
"Okay, don't scare yourself, everything has been done, it's cool, it's boring for you to regret it now. Besides, if there is really retribution, and people can really become ghosts after death, then Boss Chen doesn't know how many times he has died.
I think you just haven't had any work lately, so you're idle. ”
Hu Daniu thought that after listening to his words, Lao Wang would be somewhat relieved, but he never thought that Lao Wang replied abruptly:
"Why didn't Boss Chen suffer retribution, didn't you see that his stupid son almost turned into a dry corpse! If it is not retribution, can a good person be? ”
Hearing Lao Wang mention Chen Cong, Hu Da Newton suddenly felt that his body stiffened a little, because it was indeed as Lao Wang said, Chen Cong's illness was too weird, and it was weird and weird that water kept seeping out of his body, which couldn't help but remind him of the female corpse floating straight on the gourd river - Xiaoli!
Thinking of this, Hu Daniu's forehead suddenly saw a cold sweat, and then he saw Lao Wang standing at the door pointing behind him and asked suspiciously:
"Is there still that family in the village who died?"
Hu Daniu knew that Lao Wang was referring to Xiaoli's coffin, he subconsciously glanced back, and then explained:
"How can anyone die, isn't this the ...... that"
Before the explanation was finished, Hu Daniu's eyes widened in horror!
"How did the coffin lid open?"
"What's the matter with the water in this place......?"
