Chapter 9 The Beginning (2)

After the convoy in Xiaogou Village took two laps in the county town, the convoy was still following the original driving route toward the destination of the convoy. After the convoy passed, only the snow-white paper money on the street was left in the county town with white light under the dazzling sun, some were flying in the wind, as if reminding everyone that what had just happened was true. Facing the paper money all over the place, some were thinking, some were wondering, and some were in pain. The director of the sanitation bureau in the county town was one of the most painful people. When he saw the paper money, his first reaction was to grab his hair with his hands. "They did it on purpose, they did it on purpose..." He kept saying nothing.

Regardless of the shock and doubts of the people in the county town to see the convoy, and how the paper money tortures the poor director of the sanitation bureau, after the convoy in Xiaogou Village left the county town, the convoy traveled eastward, passing through seven towns and more than ten villages, it was hard to walk on the road ahead, and the place where you could turn around was stopped. There was a river at the stopping place, and a hill was not far away. The hill was called Qingfenggang. Now it was the time for the trees on the mountain to be lush. Many people's tombs are built there. If you still want to build the tombs beautifully, you don't want to do it yourself. There are people here who specialize in this kind of work. As long as you can afford to pay, even if you want to build the tomb into a palace, they can help you. Two years ago, an official in the county was

Here I built a luxurious cemetery for his dead father, covering an area of ​​nearly half acre. The grave was as high as one floor. No one knew how much money it cost. Maybe his dead father blessed him or chose a place with good feng shui for his dead father. Less than a year after his dead father was buried, he was promoted and transferred to another place. Because of this, the land price on the mountain here has increased. In the past, it was about six or seven hundred yuan to buy a grave of average size here. Now the government encourages cremation not to promote burial. In addition, other reasons, the price of graves in any place here is doubled compared to before, and some areas are even more expensive. But even so, some people are willing to come here to bury, especially in rural areas. Even if the family is poor, the elderly will have to bury them even if they are not here. No matter where they are buried, the villagers will look down on you.

The straight-line distance of this place will not exceed three kilometers. If you walk alone, you will arrive in less than an hour from Xiaogou Village. Two days ago, Mr. Hu and his team walked on the small road when they came here, and it didn't take long to get here. At this moment, the convoy has a small tail compared to the county town, which is where curious people from nearby villages come to watch the fun. In fact, when the convoy passes through those villages and towns, the sensation caused is even more than that of the county town. The driver who drove the Cadillac was more careful when driving. Not only did he avoid the crowds of onlookers, but he also had to pay attention to the children running out of the roadside at any time. When the convoy arrived here, it was almost two o'clock.

The convoy stopped and everyone got out of the car. Here, several villagers from Xiaogou Village and Mr. Hu were already waiting here.

The child who walked out of the crowd was still holding a urn in front of the crowd. When he saw the child get off the car, at Mr. Hu's instructions, the "crackling" firecrackers around him rang out. Perhaps someone had told him what to do. The child was not panicked and followed Mr. Hu with the urn behind him. At this time, Mr. Hu really had a bit of a magical aura. He saw him walking while sprinkling paper money and singing in strange tunes. His voice was quite loud, and therefore, Long Liexu, who was walking behind the crowd, could hear clearly.

"A white lotus blooms on the spot, and the signs of good people are hung on it. Many families in the world do good deeds. The underworld is on the lotus platform. They don't eat food in the world for three days. They go to the Westside platform for seven days. They look at the Westside platform. They all wear white... "

Amid Mr. Hu's desolate and strange singing, this long line of teams finally arrived at the destination. The chosen cemetery was on the hillside of Qingfenggang, which was surrounded by pine trees as thick as bowls. The ground was covered with yellow pine needles, which were soft and slippery when people stepped on it.

The chosen place as the cemetery has been repaired with two grave embryos. The two grave embryos are closely adjacent to each other, and a layer of bluestone is also laid on the ground connected by the two grave embryos. This is the tomb of a couple. One is the grave embryo that is made by Wang Lizhi, and the other is left for his wife to use in the future. This tomb is not luxurious, but it is also square and upright, and it is well-built, and it looks like it gives people a refreshing feeling.

Maybe it was to melt and burn those things in a while. A large piece of pine needles, leaves, weeds, etc. were cleared, revealing the yellow and red soil on the ground.

Long Liexue was watching quietly from beginning to end, following the team, in front of him were a bunch of paper-clad things, including houses, horses, sheep, cows, chickens, and a pair of boys and girls. Inside, all animals were paired, and those things were raised high and undulating with the crowd. Long Liexue was assigned to a paper-clad tape recorder, which was the same size as a real one, and it felt like holding it in his hand. But behind Long Liexue, there were many people holding various paper-clad things, including color TVs, refrigerators, wardrobes... These things were all taken from those tractors.

Burial in the lower land is a tedious process. Before going down land, Mr. Hu read a remark to comfort the mountain god, and then burned offerings in the sound of suona, drums, music, firecrackers, that is, things that are pasted with paper, followed by "warming the grave" and "backing the soil"...

When everyone was almost done, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon and most people didn't have lunch. Therefore, when the last thing was done and there was no fire hazard, everyone went down the mountain. If you come next time, the "first seven" will be seven days later.

When we went down the mountain, everyone felt much more relaxed, and they were talking and laughing along the way, as if they were on an outing.

Mr. Hu and Elder Gen walked together.

"Mr. Hu, I am so grateful that you are here to help this time. You must have a few drinks after returning to the village. And Mr. Wang Mu and others must stay for us to entertain us!" Although Mr. Wang Mu and others have always claimed that they dare not call Mr. Hu, Zhang Laogen always thought that it was their self-worthy words. Although Mr. Wang and others came uninvited, Zhang Laogen is now considering going back to discuss with Li Weihua, Tang Ziqing and others and giving each of them a red envelope.

When Mr. Hu heard that he wanted to drink, his little eyes narrowed and smashed his lips with his tongue. He nodded but still didn't say anything.

There was still a long way down the mountain. Along the way, Zhang Laogen started chatting with Mr. Hu and the others.

"By the way, Mr. Hu, is there any name in this treasure land that you have shown to Wang Li this time? We laymen can't understand it!" Zhang Laogen asked.

Perhaps because Mr. Hu was in a good mood, he answered Zhang Laogen's question.

"There is a name called "Back to the immortal chair, the door faces the Dragon King Temple, the purple air goes westward, and the roots of wealth and honor are everywhere." Wang Lizhi has no children or daughters, so his feng shui of the cemetery cannot be blessed by his descendants. If he chooses it for him, he can only benefit the next life. Wang Lizhi's life is a long time now, and I hope he can be rich and safe in the next life!"

After hearing Mr. Hu's words, Zhang Laogen suddenly remembered himself. He himself had no children and had a wife who had long died. In this life, he would not have any hope. Who doesn't have some selfishness? But this... is really not easy to speak!

Seeing Zhang Laogen's desire to speak but stopped, Mr. Hu knew it in his heart. Mr. Hu smiled, attached his head to Zhang Laogen's ear, and said a few words gently, and Zhang Laogen's face suddenly filled with smiles.

The group was walking on the path down the mountain. Suddenly, Mr. Hu stopped and stood there. Zhang Laogen and Wang Mu were still wondering. Mr. Hu raised his right hand with a little trembling, pointed his back at a downhill not far away, and asked Zhang Laogen: "Who is that person!"

Zhang Laogen was immersed in excitement and did not notice that Mr. Hu's tone was special. He looked along Mr. Hu's hand and saw a back. After a closer look, wasn't that Long Liexue?

"Oh, Mr. Hu is talking about the man who is Long Liexue and Long Han's son."

Mr. Hu stared at Long Liexue's back blankly and frowned, as if he was thinking about something. At this time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Long Liexue, who was walking in front, turned around and looked here. Mr. Hu couldn't help but shocked. "What a heavy power." Zhang Laogen, who was next to Mr. Hu, seemed to hear Mr. Hu murmuring.

On the way back, Mr. Hu kept asking Zhang Laogen about Long Liexue's situation. Zhang Laogen didn't know much, so he said all he knew and what he heard from others in combination with what Long Liexue gave him in the past two days. It was a coincidence that since Mr. Hu arrived in Xiaogou Village, he seemed to have no chance to meet Long Liexue, so he hurriedly met Long Liexue today. Strictly speaking, Long Liexue has been a focus of everyone's attention in Xiaogou Village these days. He has been busy with everyone for Wang Liezhi's affairs. Others may not know that Zhang Laogen knew very well, so he took the two "three-open doors" that he rented in the provincial capital this time.

"As for them, according to their intention, it would be better to rent some ordinary cars in the county town. There is no need to rent that expensive. For the villagers of Xiaogou Village, if they hold a funeral, no matter what kind of cars, it would be very respectful to have two cars, but Long Liexue was very persistent in this. Later, there was no way. They were embarrassed to ask Long Han to do this, and they didn't have much experience. So this time, they rented a car in the provincial capital. Long Liexue accompanied Tang Ziqing. Zhang Laogen is also a mature person. He felt that Long Han and Long Liexue did not want too many outsiders to know their existence in Wang Lizhi's matter. Therefore, Zhang Laogen and others did not deliberately promote their father and son.

But even if Long Liexue deliberately kept a low profile, he still attracted the attention of everyone in Xiaogou Village. On the one hand, it was because of Long Han's relationship, and on the other hand, it was the special temperament he showed. The villagers who had contacted Long Liexue or saw him in Xiaogou Village, all felt that Long Liexue was a bit mysterious and was a "shy and sensible" big boy. Mr. Hu asked about something that everyone knew about Long Liexue, and he had nothing to hide. In addition, Mr. Hu sold a big favor to him just now, so he naturally spoke very enthusiastically. When Zhang Laogen talked about Long Liexue, the evaluation of "shy and sensible" could not be escaped, and he did not notice the strange smile on the corner of Mr. Hu's mouth when he heard him evaluate Long Liexue with "shy".

The convoy returned to Xiaogou Village at around 5:00 pm. Although everyone had eaten breakfast, after such a day, everyone was still very hungry. Fortunately, the glutinous yard in Xiaogou Village was filled with tables moved by various families, and the people who stayed in the village had almost finished the meal.

Humans are strange animals. In the morning, there was a hint of sadness on everyone's faces. Now, everyone seems to have forgotten all the unhappiness. Children are running around the table, while adults are chatting and laughing on the table, and the burger is drinking and drinking. Most of the people in the entire Xiaogou Village are concentrated here. When so many people cannot be squeezed out in the burger, many tables are placed in the middle of the road. The women holding bowls of dishes are shuttled between the table and the kitchen like fish. Now, Xiaogou Village has an atmosphere that only during the New Year. As it was dark, a candle was added to each table.

The atmosphere at the dinner table in Xiaogou Village was very warm. Everyone was talking about Master Zhiguang, Mr. Hu, and marveling at the cost of the two Cadillacs. In addition to the villagers in Xiaogou Village, there were also drivers who were eating here today. According to the regulations of the taxi company, those drivers could not eat in Xiaogou Village, but today the situation was a bit special. In addition to the strong curiosity of the drivers, everyone wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about it. The drivers basically did not drink alcohol, and some were really hard to refuse, while the old men in Xiaogou Village were all red and talked more.

"Oh, Brother Lizhi is so unfair!" The drivers at the same table suddenly stood up.

"Do you know what the conclusions given by Brother Lizhi's forensic report?" asked the person who spoke with a blushing face and shook his head.

"What forensic report?" The drivers were a little confused. Did he drink too much?

"Brother Lizhi died, and the forensic doctor came uninvited to testify the cause of Lizhi's death!" The person who spoke said that he was a little excited, "What a bullshit forensic identification, he actually said that Brother Lizhi was malnourished and overworked, I'll fuck him!"

Speaking of this, two drivers almost sprayed out the tea they drank in their mouths, "Malnutrition?" and asked the scale of the funeral. At this level, it was said that it was overnutrition. Of course, these drivers didn't know who paid the money for the funeral. They just thought that the money should be from Wang Lizhi's family. Think about it, who would be so kind-hearted if it was an irrelevant person?

The man was excited when he said this. Even he didn't know what he was saying later. The drivers listened very carefully one by one. Everyone was outlining the truth in their hearts. This was a very good topic of conversation. For the same thing, either proactively or passively, each driver pieced together a fact that he thought.

It's funny, maybe the things drivers hear are from different people's mouths, or the speakers are drunk and can't express them clearly, or some drivers' subjective imaginations are in it. In this matter of Wang Lizhi, there are different versions of various statements. Even Master Zhiguang came to Xiaogou Village to do rituals for Wang Lizhi to be ritually and salvation. One said that Master Zhiguang is powerful and respectful, and feels that a resentment in Xiaogou Village cannot be dissipated, so I am compassionate and come to resolve it. Another statement is that Wang Lizhi is a great man. He has made a good relationship with Master Zhiguang during his lifetime, and Master Zhiguang came here. Another statement...

The funeral of an ordinary farmer includes Master Zhiguang, Mr. Hu, his crazy wife, the regret of most of the people in the village, the cool Cadillac fleet, the valuable urns, and the inexplicable forensic identification... All these things can attract the attention and association of others in normal times, even if they are only the same. Now, these many things are gathered together, and for the people of Robin County, it is as fascinating as a legendary story, and the thrilling and the gray mysterious parts are no less than those exciting suspense stories in people's imagination. And such stories happen to them. Those who know this story may feel sorry for Wang Lizhi, but more of them are the excitement of discovering treasures. In the monotonous life of most people, some things do need.

Let’s adjust it so that you look different from others so that you won’t treat yourself as a machine. If you can’t participate in an interesting thing and most of the people around you can’t participate in it, then talk about it, pretend to be familiar, pretend to be very informed and talk about it. In the curious and envious eyes of people around you, you will find some kind of vanity satisfaction, and in reality, many people are used to this vanity satisfaction. Yes, Wang Lizhi’s things can satisfy the curiosity of some people, add some topics to the boring life of most people, and give some people such vanity satisfaction. As long as you know a little about this, you will spare no effort to show your uniqueness to their relatives, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, because the real life is really too boring.

Long Liexue was thinking about his thoughts at this moment, not paying attention to his uniqueness at all. At this moment, careful people would find that the person who was eating at Long Liexue's table was obviously not as noisy as around. Even if he spoke, he would not be loud. Long Liexue still sat straight, while the person at the same table with him unconsciously lowered his body. In the distance, in a corner of the bustling crowd, through the thin candlelight, Mr. Hu was obviously a careful person. Mr. Hu was looking at him, with an unpredictable curiosity and fanaticism in his eyes. Of course, he would not hear Mr. Hu murmuring himself at this moment. "Walking like a flowing cloud, slow and fast without being shocked. Quiet like a deep pool, wind is not stirring. Stepping like a tiger walking with evil, sitting like a dragon plate and a dragon plate containing power. Long Liexue, I can't help but want to give a batch of eight characters?"

"Things are probably like this!" Long Liexue put away the thoughts flying in his heart, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the excitement and noise in front of him, "The prologue has been over, and the real performance has just begun. Here, everyone is the protagonist. Although they may not necessarily find themselves standing on the stage, even if they find it, will it be different?" Long Liexue behind the candlelight looked at the lively scene and thought a little lonely, with a strange smile on his lips. The galaxy in the sky is brilliant, and the candlelight on the ground sways gently in the night wind. Long Liexue raised his head and turned his eyes into the endless depth and vastness wrapped in the sky.

"Where is my stage?"
