"Oh well. Xiao Zhang looked at Lin Bufan's swollen face, he didn't feel a taste in his heart, he also hated that Xiao Tian, but he didn't have anything to do with that Xiao Tian, if it wasn't for Xiao Tian's father, Xiao Zhang would be the deputy captain of the criminal police brigade.

"We're gone, and there's time to go and sit with me. After Lin Bufan finished speaking to Xiao Zhang, he walked out.

Lin Bufan and the five of them took two cars, Lin Bufan and Erzhuzi had one, and Du Wanqing, Bai Haoteng, and Wang Hetong had one car. By the time they returned to Maoshan Hall, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Lin Bufan ran to the bathroom on the second floor and turned on the faucet to clean the wound on his face, Lin Bufan raised his head and looked in the mirror, feeling that he was ridiculous, Lin Bufan was not afraid of ghosts or zombies, but he was worse than dead by a small policeman.

"Are you alright?" asked Twilight Wanqing as she walked up to Lin Bufan's side and asked Lin Bufan.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury. Lin Bufan shook his head and said to Du Wanqing.

"I have the secret bone-setting medicine of Longhu Mountain here, I'll apply it. Twilight Wanqing took out a small red porcelain vase and said to Lin Bufan.

"Thank you, I'll do it myself. Lin Bufan took the small porcelain vase in Du Wanqing's hand and said with a smile.

Lin Bufan was looking in the mirror while applying bruising medicine to his face, and Twilight Wanqing stood next to Lin Bufan and looked at Lin Bufan, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes when she looked at Lin Bufan. After painting the wound on his face, Lin Bufan took off his clothes again and began to paint on his chest.

"I'll help you with the back. When Twilight Wanqing's cold hands touched Lin Bufan's back, Lin Bufan couldn't help but shudder, Lin Bufan was a little embarrassed.

When Twilight Wanqing finished helping Lin Bufan apply the medicine, she personally drew a healing talisman and pasted it on Lin Bufan's chest, and then she hit the Dao power in her body on the talisman.

"You're all skin wounds, and they should heal tomorrow morning. Twilight Wanqing looked at the wound on Lin Bufan's body and said to Lin Bufan, at this time, Bai Haoteng, Wang Hetong and Erzhu were all staring at Lin Bufan at the door.

"It's not too early, everyone is tired all night, let's wash and sleep. After Lin Bufan said this, he walked downstairs.

"Why do I think Brother Lin is a little wrong?" Wang Hetong said as he looked at Lin Bufan's back.

"There's something wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong. Bai Haoteng echoed.

"He exudes an air of loneliness, and you don't have anything to talk to him about. After saying this, Twilight Wanqing walked to her room.

"It's still the senior sister who is amazing. Wang Hetong looked at Du Wanqing with admiration and said.

Lin Bufan sat on the sofa without a trace of sleepiness, although Lin Bufan hated that Xiao Tian in his heart, but Lin Bufan didn't think about revenge on him, after all, he was just a mortal, just a villain, sooner or later God would punish him, as the saying goes, if God lets him die, he must be mad first.

"What's the matter, I can't sleep?" Bai Haoteng said after taking a shower and walking down from upstairs to look at Lin Bufan.

"Ah, I can't sleep for a while, how are your wounds?"

"It's fine, it's just a small injury. Bai Haoteng imitated Lin Bufan and said with a smile.

"Don't pull it, you can see the bones. ”

"It's almost healed now. Bai Haoteng said to Lin Bufan while wiping his head with a towel.

"Senior Brother Bai, you're here too. Wang Hetong also walked down from the upper floor.

"Well, I'll talk to Brother Lin for a while. Bai Haoteng turned around and said to Wang Hetong.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, I will avenge you. Wang Hetong patted his chest and promised Lin Bufan.

"Crane Hitomi, forget about this matter, don't mention it again in the future. Lin Bufan said to Wang Hetong seriously, Lin Bufan didn't want them to get into unnecessary trouble because of themselves.

"No, you can't just leave it at that, what he did to you, I want him to pay it back double. Wang Hetong said with a willful face.

"Hitomi Tsuru, if that's the case, I'm not happy. Lin Bufan pulled a face and said to Wang Hetong.

"Brother Lin, you have to understand this truth, horses are good at being ridden, and people are good at being bullied. If you don't give that Oda a little color, he'll have a next time. Wang Hetong said stubbornly to Lin Bufan.

"Don't mention this again, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, you go up and rest. After Lin Bufan said this, he closed his eyes and lay on the sofa.

"Okay, Senior Sister Hetong, let's go up to sleep. Bai Haoteng sighed, pulled Wang Hetong's arm and said.

"Brother Lin, you are too kind. When Wang Hetong was about to go upstairs, he threw such a sentence to Lin Bufan.

"Maybe I'm really too kind. Lin Bufan lay on the sofa and shook his head and said with a wry smile, Lin Bufan didn't close his eyes at all this night, Lin Bufan kept thinking nonsense, thinking about his master, thinking about Zhang Qian, thinking about Liu Mei and them, thinking about what he had done in the past few decades, and thinking that in the end, Lin Bufan's summary to himself was to have a clear conscience.

The next morning, Twilight Wanqing was the first to get up and walk downstairs, she was wearing a light blue jeans, a tight white T-shirt on her upper body, and a pair of white tennis shoes on her feet.

"Why don't you sleep more?" Lin Bufan raised his head and looked at Du Wanqing and asked.

"Can't sleep, how is your injury?" asked Lin Bufan as she sat on the sofa opposite Lin Bufan.

"My injuries have healed a lot and my face is swollen. Lin Bufan smiled faintly.

"Why did you deliberately provoke that policeman?" asked Twilight Wanqing, looking at Lin Bufan coldly.

"What does that mean, I don't understand. Lin Bufan looked at Du Wanqing and smiled.

"Even though we weren't locked up yesterday, I know all about what that cop did to you. Twilight Wanqing looked at Lin Bufan and said.

"I just don't like him. When Lin Bufan said this, he didn't dare to look directly at Du Wanqing's gaze.

"You're not looking at him unpleasantly, you're trying to use all his energy on you, so he won't attack us. Twilight Wanqing immediately saw through the thoughts in Lin Bufan's heart, and Lin Bufan secretly sighed that this woman was really powerful.

"How can I be so noble. Lin Bufan said duplicitously.

"Whatever you want. Twilight Wanqing didn't ask Lin Bufan anymore.

Lin Bufan and Du Wanqing sat quietly like that without saying anything, until Zhang Haibo walked in from outside at eight o'clock.

"Where's Bai Haoteng?" Zhang Haibo asked Twilight as he walked in with a large bag of supplements.

"I'm still resting upstairs. Twilight said casually.

"Then I'll go up to see Bai Haoteng first, and then come down later. Zhang Haibo said to Twilight in embarrassment and walked upstairs, Twilight didn't say anything but nodded.

Not long after Zhang Haibo went upstairs, the second pillar walked down from the upstairs as soon as he was unhappy, and Lin Bufan also understood why the second pillar was unhappy.

"Erzhuzi, this Maoshan Hall is not dirty, you don't have to clean it up today. Lin Bufan said to him when he saw that the second pillar was about to sweep the floor.

"Oh. Erzhuzi didn't say anything and sat next to Lin Bufan.

"Excuse me, can you take care of the white business here?" a man in his thirties walked in and asked.

"Yes. Lin Bufan stood up and nodded in response.

"How much money do you charge for doing nothing?" the man asked.

"Two thousand. ”

"Can it be cheaper, two thousand is really a bit expensive. ”

"That's a thousand. Seeing the man's embarrassed look, Lin Bufan lowered the price by half.

"Give you eight hundred, it's auspicious, what do you think?" The man told Lin Bufan about two hundred again.

"Okay. Lin Bufan nodded and agreed, in fact, Lin Bufan didn't want to do this business, but Lin Bufan felt that it was too boring to stay in Maoshan Hall, so he wanted to go out for a walk.

"Lin Bufan, your injury is not healed yet. Twilight Wanqing stood up and instructed Lin Bufan.

"It's okay, I opened this Maoshan Hall just to make a living, and I have to do it if it's a business. Lin Bufan said to Du Wanqing.

"Master, let's go now. The man said anxiously to Lin Bufan.

"Well, the second pillar brings the magic weapon, let's go. Lin Bufan instructed the two pillars.

So Lin Bufan and Erzhuzi took the magic weapon and followed the man out of Maoshan Hall, the man drove an old-looking pickup truck, and there were some messy things pulled behind the car, including paper money, cabbage, potatoes, and pork.

After half an hour, the man pulled Lin Bufan to a family in the countryside and stopped, and when Lin Bufan came, the family's spiritual shed had already been built. The outside of the funeral shed should be adapted to local conditions, that is, a simple tent temporarily set up in the courtyard after the death of the bereaved family. One is to give the soul of the deceased a temporary resting place, the other is to avoid wind, rain, thunder and frost, and it is also a place for relatives and friends to mourn.

Lin Bufan stepped forward to take a look, the deceased was an old woman in her fifties, her death was a little ugly, her eyes were round, her tongue was sticking out, and there were strangulation marks on her neck.

"Hanged himself, right?" Lin Bufan asked the man who brought him in.

"That's right. The man sighed and replied to Lin Bufan.

"I want to know about her. Lin Bufan said to the man.

"You better ask my brother about this, I'm just her nephew. After the man said this to Lin Bufan, he went to find the deceased's son.

The deceased's son was about thirty-four or five, about one meter seven, with some dark skin, this person's first impression on Lin Bufan was that he was honest, and he definitely belonged to the kind of person who couldn't kick a fart even if he kicked three feet.

"Are you her son?" Lin Bufan asked, pointing to the dead man.

"Yes. The man replied to Lin Bufan with a sad face.

"Is your father still around?"

"My father was gone when I was younger. The man looked at his mother lying in the mourning shed and said sadly.

"Well, I want you to prepare some things, the first is an offering, the steamed bun is a big offering, it must be placed, if one of the parents dies, the offering plate should be singled, if the two old people have passed away, the offering plate should be doubled, no matter what the situation, the offerings in the dish must be singled. The second kind of inverted rice: three chopsticks wrapped in cotton are inserted, which means that the rice in the yang world is eaten at the end of the day, and it is used to open the light. The third incense burner bowl: three pillars of incense are inserted on it, and the incense cannot be broken, so you must remember it. The fourth kind of ever-bright lamp: commonly known as the "corpse lamp", is dipped in soybean oil with a cotton core and placed in a dish, which means to light the way for the deceased. The inverted rice and corpse lamps on the offering table should not be placed indiscriminately, but should be divided into men and women, placed on the edge of the offering table, and other tributes can be arbitrary. The lamp on his head hindered the firstborn son, and the upside-down lady on the right suffered from it. The upside-down meal should be placed on the top of the head, the corpse lamp should be placed on the edge of the offering table according to the left and right of the man and the woman, and the death card should be placed in the center of the spiritual head. The fifth mourning basin: the meaning is also an auspicious basin, and it is also used to tell the deceased not to drink the Meng Po soup in the basin when they arrive at the Nai He Bridge. You go and prepare these first, and then you can report your mother's birthday to me. Lin Bufan said to the man.

"Okay master, I'll do it. The man nodded at Lin Bufan and replied.

"Daughter-in-law, give me some money, I'm going out to buy something. The man walked up to a middle-aged woman and reached out for money.

"Don't ask me, I don't have any money. The middle-aged woman glared at him and said.

"Didn't I give you 20,000 yuan when I came back from going to sea two days ago?" the man asked anxiously.

"I sent the money to my brother to pay off the mortgage, and I don't have a penny in my hand right now. The middle-aged woman said this and walked into the house.

"Brother, I have money here. The man who came from Larin took out a thousand dollars and handed it to the deceased's son.

"Thank you, Mistress. ”

"Don't talk so much, it's important to deal with my aunt's affairs first. ”

At this time, Lin Bufan looked at the daughter-in-law of the deceased, this woman is definitely not a simple woman, from her face, you can see that this woman is cautious, and she is rude and willful, she definitely belongs to the kind of person who has no iron rooster, and this woman has no filial piety, she will not be filial to her parents or her man's parents, who wants to marry this woman is really unfortunate in the family.

"Master, can you let my sister-in-law close her eyes?" said the deceased's nephew to Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan walked to the side of the deceased, leaned down and gently wiped the deceased's eyelids with his hand, the deceased's eyelids were wiped by Lin Bufan and then opened, it seems that the old woman suffered a lot of resentment when she died.

"Your aunt's resentment is so great that she can't see her to death, what is going on?" Lin Bufan asked the deceased's nephew.

"Alas, this master, come with me, and I'll tell you slowly. The man who drove Lin Bufan called Lin Bufan outside and told Lin Bufan about the matter from beginning to end, when Lin Bufan finished listening to the man's narration, the anger in his heart instantly burned, and the second pillar gritted his teeth angrily behind Lin Bufan.

The deceased's name is Zhang Lan, the aunt of the man who drove Lin Bufan to pick him up, his son is Song Dali, and his daughter-in-law is Yu Ping. Song Dali's father died when he was five years old, and he was smashed to death by bricks at the construction site. It was Zhang Lan who pulled Song Dali up with hard work, and Song Dali didn't ask for a daughter-in-law until he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Later, someone introduced Yu Ping to Song Dali, this Yu Ping is divorced, and the age is one year older than Song Dali, since Yu Ping entered the old Song family, she did not conceive a child for the old Song family, and later everyone knew that this Yu Ping had a bad style when she was young, and she had a lot of children leading to infertility, her first divorce was not only the reason why she did not conceive a child, but more importantly, this woman was a lazy person, and often cuckolded her ex-husband.

Song Dali also doesn't dislike this Yu Ping can't have children, but this Yu Ping is dead, usually lazy to do, every day at home either on the Internet or on the phone, and then go to the rural store to play mahjong with those old men. Three meals a day had to be delivered to Song Dali's mother under Yu Ping's mouth, she ate it, once the food did not fit her mouth, she opened her mouth and began to scold Song Dali's mother Zhang Lan for not dying.

Because Song Dali works on the ship, sometimes he doesn't go home for two or three months when he leaves, this Yu Ping is mixed with those singles in the village, up to the old man in his fifties and sixties, down to the twenty-seven or eighteen, all of whom have had a relationship with this Yu Ping, Yu Ping does these things Everyone in the village knows, she has also become everyone's talk after dinner, Song Dali's mother also knows about it, Zhang Lan didn't dare to tell her son about it, she felt that her son was finally begging for a daughter-in-law, and she couldn't let her son divorce, and divorce was a very disgraceful thing in the countryside, so Zhang Lan turned a blind eye to this matter。

The reason why Song Dali's mother hanged herself this time was also because of Yu Ping, Yu Ping told her mother-in-law that she wanted to eat pork ribs, and asked her mother-in-law to send the cooked rice to the store, because Yu Ping played mahjong in the store. Later, her mother-in-law sent the rice and ribs to Yu Ping according to Yu Ping's instructions, when Yu Ping was just in time for Hu Pai to jump up from the stool excitedly and hit the food in her mother-in-law's hand on the ground, as a result, Yu Ping scolded Zhang Lan in front of everyone in the store that it was better to be alive than dead, it was really a waste or something, and because of this incident, Zhang Lan was angry and hanged herself at three o'clock in the morning.

"Master, I want to go and smoke her two big mouths!" Erzhuzi said angrily with red eyes.

"You come with me to do nothing, just do your own thing, and don't worry about the rest. Lin Bufan said sternly to Erzhuzi, don't say that Erzhuzi wants to smoke that Yu Ping, Lin Bufan also wants to smoke her, this woman is simply too hateful.

"Does your brother know about this?" Lin Bufan asked the man.

"My brother also knows, you have also seen my brother, he is born an honest man, a soft egg, afraid of his daughter-in-law, what can he do?" The man sighed and said, listening to the man's words Lin Bufan also sighed.

Although this Yu Ping is not very good, but Zhang Lan is a good person in this village, no matter who has a happy event or a funeral, she will always rush to help as soon as possible, after Zhang Lan's death, many people in the village came to mourn this poor woman.

"By the way, have you bought all the paper ties for the funeral?" Lin Bufan asked the man.

"Not yet, I don't know what to buy, this master, you tell me, I'll buy it now, I can't count on my brother. The man also knew that his brother Song Dali couldn't come up with the money.

"The first one was a pair of boys and girls, to serve the dead. The second kind of ox cart is a paper figure to drive the cart, which is used to send the deceased to the underworld. And then there's the cash cow, and there's a building......" Lin Bufan instructed the man one by one.

"Okay, I'll buy it. The man drove away.

"Master, what should we do now?" Erzhuzi asked as he looked at Lin Bufan with a puzzled expression.

"Tie the soul banner first. ”

"What is the Soul Attracting Banner for?" Erzhuzi asked Lin Bufan again.

"This soul-attracting banner is used to attract the soul of the dead, generally the soul of the newly deceased is a little blurred, the soul-attracting banner is the funeral walking in the front, in order to lead the soul of the deceased into the tomb, and the soul-attracting banner is generally the eldest son and eldest grandson of the family. Lin Bufan explained to Erzhuzi.

"So that's the case, I still have a little impression when you say that, when my father died, I seemed to be carrying such a thing. Erzhuzi recalled.

The method of tying the soul flag is very simple, the soul flag is pasted on the side of the flag pole with a white note, the lower end of the soul flag paper strip is pointed at a sharp angle to indicate the mourning of the man, and the shape of the swallowtail represents the mourning of the girl, the note depends on the size of the age, the old note is more, the young note is less, generally a note represents one year old, outsiders look at the note on the soul banner at a glance to see whether the deceased is old or young.

Zhang Lan's daughter-in-law sat on the kang in the room and played with her mobile phone while knocking melon seeds, and sometimes laughed, as if the woman lying in the spirit shed outside had nothing to do with her, Lin Bufan was very disgusted with this woman in his heart.

"This woman is even more hateful than Zhang Haibo. Erzhuzi said to Lin Bufan in a low voice.

"Talk less, work more. Lin Bufan said to Erzhuzi angrily, what Erzhuzi said was indeed right, relatively speaking, Lin Bufan felt that Zhang Haibo really didn't have this woman to hate.

When Lin Bufan finished tying the soul attraction, Song Dali rode an electric car to buy back all the things that Lin Bufan had just ordered him, and Lin Bufan put the things that Song Dali bought one by one around the deceased.

"You wipe your mother's face with a clean hand towel. Lin Bufan instructed Song Dali.

"Good. Song Dali followed Lin Bufan's instructions, dipped a clean white hand towel in water and then wiped his mother's face, Song Dali wiped it with tears. The son is a filial son, but this daughter-in-law is too unfilial. Cleansing oneself with water means not being a dirty ghost, and generally using a wet towel to try to cleanse one's body, indicating a return to the promised land, and the two do not owe each other.

"Since you're dead, let go of what you should put down, if you don't look at others, you will look at your son's face. Lin Bufan walked in front of the deceased and wiped Zhang Lan's eyelids with his hand again, this time Zhang Lan's eyes were closed. Then Lin Bufan stuffed a copper coin into Zhang Lan's mouth, this money is called pressure money, "pressure money" is the money in the mouth of the deceased, hoping that the deceased will always have money in the underworld.
