Chapter 3 The Small Grave Bag
Li Xun looked at the coffin behind him, then looked at the Liu family who was not allowed to enter. He couldn't help but sigh and said to Chen Ying: "Captain Chen Bao, let's put Chen Ping'an in the charity village today. When you have chosen the tomb, I will send him to burial."
As a night watchman, you are not only responsible for sending the body back, but more importantly, you have to stare at the body in the ground with your own eyes. This is called being buried in the ground.
According to the records of the Night Watch Office for hundreds of years, the chance of the body being buried again is very small, so it is also the responsibility of the Night Watcher to stare at the dead returning home.
If everything went well, Chen Ping'an would be buried successfully today, and he could return to the county central night watch office to receive the reward silver.
However, the current situation is obviously unlikely to bury Chen Ping successfully. Li Xun did not understand other people's family affairs, so it was difficult to make a judgment.
There is a saying that if you don’t go through the suffering of others, don’t advise others to be good. If you go through the suffering of others, you may not be good.
Chen Baochang, who was embarrassed, glared at Liu fiercely, and then said to Li Xun: "Sir, follow me."
Soon, under the leadership of Chen Baochang, Li Xun came to the charity house in Daliu Town. The charity house was not big, but just three empty houses, with no decorations in it.
When he walked into the charity village, Li Xun placed the wooden coffin on his back on two wooden benches to prevent it from falling to the ground.
Although I took a body tempering pill that could strengthen human physical fitness and strength on the first day of entering the Night Watch, which increased more than a hundred kilograms of strength out of thin air, a coffin containing a corpse, even if it was not so heavy after special means, it would not be less than two or three hundred kilograms.
It was not easy to walk dozens of miles on such a coffin. After going on a mission before, he was so tired that he was as tired as a dog after walking for more than thirty miles. He rested several times along the way.
This time, I was lucky that I absorbed evil energy last night, and my cultivation level increased by about a year out of thin air, and my strength increased a lot. This was why I was not as tired as last time.
Seeing Chen Ying who was busy ordering someone to deliver water to him, Li Xun waved his hand and said, "Prime Minister Chen, I might as well do it here. You should quickly handle Chen Ping'an's funeral. I will stay for one day at most. I will bury Chen Ping'an no matter what, otherwise if something happens during this period, I don't need to say anything, you should know the consequences..."
Chen Ying glanced at the coffin, his face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, don't worry, so I'll go and find the Chen Liu family to tell you, and it will never miss your time."
After seeing off Chen Ying and the others, Li Xun didn't have much intention to care about how Chief Chen and Chen Liu were talking. He was an outsider and rashly interfered in the internal affairs of Daliu Town, and he was afraid that he would not have any consequences.
Sitting cross-legged, Li Xun patted the coffin and muttered: "Little guy, don't worry, don't worry, I always want to send you to peace."
In the coffin, the yellow talisman that was suppressed on Chen Ping'an has become much dim now. It is unknown when the yellow talisman will fail.
After calming down, Li Xun began to use the Burial Sutra-Wooden Coffin Covering Method. Threads of cool breath run along the complex meridians. The vital energy between heaven and earth is pulled into it. It took half an hour for a circle to come, but when he felt the breath in the dantian, he could hardly feel any increase.
He moved Zhoutian again and again, and I don’t know how long it took, but opened his eyes and sighed softly. If it weren’t for the experience of increasing the cultivation level for a year in the middle of the night last night, Li Xun could have endured his efforts to practice hard little by little.
But with the experience of a surge in cultivation, it is really difficult to calm down and practice.
Just as Li Xun sighed, a burst of rapid footsteps came. Li Xun couldn't help but look up and saw that the surveillance chief Chen Ying was coming with a team of young people.
When he reached the door, Chen Ying paused and panted to Li Xun and said, "Sir, everything is ready and you can be buried at any time."
"oh!"
It was only a few hours before, but I didn't expect that Chen Ying's efficiency was so high. It seemed that what he said before had put great pressure on Chen Ying.
Chen Ying was not worried. Li Xun said that if the deceased were delayed from being buried in the soil because of their Daliu Town, once the corpse was evil, the first one was unlucky that was the Daliu Town. Even if they were lucky enough to survive from the evil corpse, the government would never let them go.
Without caring about how Chen Ying and others understood Chen Liu's family, Li Xun looked at the sky. It was not yet dark at this time, so the burial was not delayed.
Carrying a coffin, Li Xun said to Chen Ying and others: "Lead the way!"
The group soon left Daliu Town. Just outside Daliu Town, there were forests in the hills. You could vaguely see some lonely graves. The graves were deserted and weeds. Some graves were almost flattened under the erosion of mountains and rivers. You could see at a glance that the owners of these graves either had broken the incense or were not qualified to enter the ancestral grave, and could only make a lonely grave between the wilderness.
Li Xun couldn't help looking at Chen Ying, as if he could see the inquiring look in Li Xun's eyes. Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "Chen Liu refused to agree to Xiao Ping'an to enter the ancestral tomb, so we can only decide to bury him here."
Following Li Xun, Chen Ying looked at the coffin on Li Xun's back and sighed: It might be better for Xiao Ping'an to be buried here!
As they said that, everyone stopped before a dug tomb, and a coffin that had been crafted was parked next to the tomb.
Li Xun looked around and said, "Since it's your decision, then everything will be done according to your wishes."
I crossed a tomb with weeds on the edge of the tomb. There was a tombstone in this tomb, but the tombstone was dilapidated, either hidden by weeds or washed by water. The tombstone fell obliquely in front of the tombs. The words on it were only vaguely visible because of the soil and dust.
Li Xun just glanced at it and did not pay much attention to such a grave that looked at at least four or five years old. He stepped forward and placed the coffin on his back on two benches, stretched out his hand and opened the lid of the coffin, and a cold air filled with it.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xun reached out and took Chen Ping'an's body out of the wooden coffin and put it into the prepared coffin, and then ordered someone to close the lid.
"Huh!"
The moment the coffin lid was closed, Li Xun only saw the corpse-squeezing talisman attached to Chen Ping'an's corpse, as dim as if it had decayed.
"Closed the coffin!"
With the shout of Chen Baochang, a jingling sound came, and several big men were nailing the coffin.
Soon the coffin was placed in the tomb that had been dug long ago. As more than a dozen young and strong men waved their shovels, a small grave bag gradually took shape.
Seeing Chen Ping'an getting into the ground for peace, Li Xun put aside his distracting thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief. Since Chen Ping'an had been successfully buried in the ground, his mission was successfully completed. Although there was an accident on the way, it did not delay him from returning to the Night Watch Office to serve.
Chen Ying pressed his fingerprints on the official documents taken out by Li Xun, which means that Li Xun successfully sent Chen Ping'an back to Daliu Town and successfully buried it. With this official document, he could go back to submit the commission and receive the reward.
After doing all this, Li Xun was about to leave, but Chen Ying smiled and said to Li Xun: "Sir, it's already late now. Why not just take a break in Daliu Town for a night? We have prepared wine and food, and wait until the adults have enough food and drink to rest, so we can go on a hurry tomorrow."
Li Xun pondered for a while, nodded to Chen Ying and said, "This is so much trouble."
Chen Ying and his friends showed joy on their faces when they heard this, saying, "What are you saying, sir, sir, you are willing to stay for dinner. That is our honor."
As Chen Ying and his friends came to Chen Ying's home in Daliu Town, they were indeed worthy of being the chief of the town. Chen Ying's house was not said to be the best in Daliu Town, and he could definitely be ranked in the top ten.
Under the flattery of Chen Ying and others, Li Xun used the meal and politely refused Chen Ying's retention. Instead, he returned to the charity village to rest according to the rules of the Night Watch Office.
The night was deep, and Li Xun closed the door of the Yizhuang Village, turned over and sat on the wooden coffin she had always carried with him. With a thought, a heat came from his chest, and then the scene in front of him changed.
...
"Hehe, mom, come, look at this little rabbit so cute..."
A child about two or three years old, with a tiger-headed and brainy head was happily chasing a little rabbit in the courtyard with short legs, while a woman stood beside her, looking at the child with loving eyes.
