Although Zai Qiu Wa had some unexplainable worries with his master, from the bottom of his heart he still wanted to marry a wife from a certain family.

As Huohuo got older, it became very difficult to walk with the robe on his back, so Zaichuwa tried to pick up as many things as possible to lighten the weight on the master's back. The master and apprentice still went out early and came back late, walking around the streets and setting up stalls at fairs.

Forge and sell ironware.

Wagou Town is an important town with a radius of dozens of miles. Even though Zhang Yuer's sixth aunt used scissors to cut Hua Hua's mouth into a "Hua Hua", it was still impossible for Hua Huo not to go to Wagou Town to do it.

Business. Besides, that incident happened a long time ago, and people have lost interest in chewing, so they stopped talking about it. Huohuo still sets up a stall in Wagou Town, and people still come to buy the sickles, hoes, shovels, and hoe made by Huohuo.

Some older girls and younger wives still came to Huohuo to make silver hairpins or silver earrings with a silver dollar. When Huohuo saw the woman, he did not dare to raise his head, but his apprentice, Zaiquwa, glanced back and forth at the woman's face.

Suddenly, an explosive news happened in Wagou Town. Zhang Yu'er died! Zhang Yu'er's death was a bit strange. He was only less than 60 years old, which is when he was alive. How could he say he was dead? Zhang Yu'er

Although he is the richest man in Wagou Town, he never bullies others. When encountering natural disasters, he even opens a warehouse to provide food relief. As long as a beggar enters the yard of Zhang Yuer's house, he never returns empty-handed. His only hobby is to marry a wife with seven houses.

, there is no other way, who calls people rich?! Someone saw Zhang Yu'er wandering the streets of Wagou Town at noon that day, and suddenly heard a cry in the courtyard of the deep house in the dark, and then the bad news came that Zhang Yu'er was dead.

Got it!

A few days ago, Zhang Yuer's house was decorated with lanterns and decorations, and he had just married his seventh wife. It is said that the seventh concubine came from the other side of the Yellow River and was bought by Zhang Yuer for three hundred silver dollars. The seventh concubine spoke with a pure Shanxi accent.

Not many people in Wagou Town have seen that woman. She never leaves the house, unlike the Sixth Auntie, who keeps writhing in the street during fairs.

Zhang Yuer has four sons and four daughters. The fourth concubine only gave birth to one daughter. The other seven children were all born to his eldest, second and third wives. The fifth, sixth and seventh concubines had no children.

, naturally there is no talk of inheritance. People in Wagou Town don’t care much about why Zhang Yuer died. What they talk about the most is the fate of Zhang Yuer’s three youngest concubines. The sixth concubine is the most coquettish, so someone will run away.

Go to Matchmaker Liu to check in advance to see if you can marry a widow.

The mourner came to Guoyu Village and passed the sad news of Zhang Yuer's death to Sting Lvfeng (Zhang Feng). Stinging Lvfeng and Qingtou already had a daughter, and Qingtou drove his donkey to carry his daughter-in-law to attend the funeral for his father-in-law.

Sting Donkey Bee was born to the fourth aunt, who had no power in the Zhang family. She was actually just a cooking woman. She had to grind the millstone on the pot all year round, and put the millstone on the pot table all year round. She didn't have a day to spare to sting the donkey bee.

When she heard about her father's death, she first thought of her mother. She was worried about her mother and didn't know how her mother would spend the rest of her life.

That day, Huohuo was setting up a stall with his apprentice in Wagou Town. When he heard about Zhang Yuer's death, he was surprised at first, and then felt lucky. I wonder if your sixth concubine would dare to do anything in Wagou Town again!

He stopped guarding the stall and ran directly to Zhang Yuer's deep house compound to watch the excitement. After a while, Qingtou drove a donkey and carried his wife. The wife got off the donkey in front of the gate and burst into tears before she entered.

Children love to see women cry, and it makes people feel sad when a woman wearing white clothes and mourning is crying. Looking at it, he can see something strange. He saw that there were no tears when Qi Aunt Tai was crying, and she was howling there. Qi Aunt Tai howled for a while.

He raised his head and saw a pair of hairy eyes that made people's hearts beat.

The yard was very messy. Those who helped, those who cried, and those who watched the excitement filled the yard. After a while, the meal started, and everyone took their bowls and went to the pot to scoop rice. What they ate was steamed buns, pork slices, vermicelli, tofu and cabbage. Those who helped

While eating, everyone watching the fun also ate. Zaiquwa grabbed a big bowl, scooped out a bowl of stew for himself, took two steamed buns, and started eating in the corner. While he was eating, he was seen by the waiter.

, he stuffed a shovel into Zaiqiu's hand and said, "Don't leave after dinner, go dig a grave."

The boy wanted to run away, but the waiter was keeping an eye on him. He knew he couldn't escape, so he had to carry a shovel and follow a few men towards the cemetery. He wanted to send a message to the master, but unfortunately he couldn't meet any acquaintance. Since he had eaten

If you don't have food for others, you have to work for them. What's strange is that when a person in the Zhang family died, why did they have to dig two graves? He finally escaped from Zhang Yu'er's house at night and went to the place where the master set up a stall.

At the location, I saw that the master was still guarding there.

Not caring about blaming his apprentice, the master and the apprentice packed up the stall and came to a farm. There were wheat straw stacks in the yard. They often rested under the wheat straw pile. It was sheltered from the wind and warm here. The master and apprentice got into the wheat straw nest.

Zaiquwa expressed his doubts: "Master, why did Zhang Yuer's family dig two grave pits?"

After all, the master has a lot of experience. After thinking about it for a moment, he can immediately figure it out: "Apprentice, maybe one of the aunts will be unlucky and be buried with Zhang Yu'er."

Zaichuwa's eyes widened in surprise, thinking that the person buried with him must be Mrs. Qi. Thinking of Qiyi's unforgettable eyes, Zaichuwa could no longer sleep.

It was a barbaric era, and in this remote and remote area, the bad custom of burials still existed. When a poor family dies, two pottery figurines are usually buried with it. When a rich family dies, their sons are particular about "ghost marriages", and generally very few living people are buried with them.

, basically buying a young girl of the same age who died of illness. It is not common for a living person to be buried with a living person like Zhang Yuer, but it only happens occasionally. The child sits up and looks at the stars in the sky. This is not far from Zhang Yuer's house.

Not far away, you can hear the sounds of sorrow and crying mixed together, and you can see the bright lights in Zhang Yuer's courtyard. Zai Qiu's heart tightened, is the seventh concubine still in the dark these days?

The master buried his head in the wheat straw, exposing his bony buttocks. It looked like the master was really pitiful. At such an old age, he still slept in the open air, went hungry and had a good meal, and worked tirelessly for those few copper coins. He couldn't bear to hurt him anymore.

The master pulled out a handful of wheat straw and covered the master's buttocks. At dawn, he poked the master awake and told the master: "We often set up a stall in Wagou Town. Everyone in Zhang Yuer's family knows us. I sneak around like this."

Leaving will not be good for us in setting up a stall in Wagou Town in the future, so today I want to go to the grave of that Yu'er."

After thinking about it for a while, this was also the case, so he said to Zai Qiuwa: "When you come back today, steal two steamed buns for us."

To be honest, Zai Qiu Wa did not go to dig the grave to help, but mainly because he was worried about the fate of the seventh concubine. Thinking that such a lively person could turn into a zombie in an instant, Zai Qiu Wa shuddered in his heart. He dug while

Tomb was thinking, how can we rescue the seventh concubine?

The dozen or so people digging graves in the cemetery are all tenant farmers from Wagou Town. They rent the land that Zhang Yuer cultivates. In all conscience, they have all received some favors from their employers and still have some nostalgia for Zhang Yuer, but it is the one that everyone talks about the most.

It is still a woman. Zhang Yuer’s seventh-bedroom concubine made everyone jealous. Every time he married a first-concubine wife, Wagou Town would be bustling with excitement. However, Zhang Yuer eventually fell into the trap of the woman, letting her take all the essence and blood from her body.

Keep draining it! Everyone talked about the seventh concubine, thinking that the seventh concubine was an evil star who would bring misfortune to Zhang Yuer as soon as she entered the Zhang family. Everyone knew that the seventh concubine was buried with her.

They knew it, but no one felt sorry for Qi Aunt Tai. Instead, they thought it was Qi Aunt Tai who deserved it.

The grave diggers didn't go home at noon, and the helpers brought food to the cemetery. They still ate steamed steamed buns and pork stew. What was strange was that the host actually brought two bottles of soju, and everyone took a sip from the bottle.

It looked like the tomb would have to be excavated for several days. A few oxcarts brought a lot of stones from unknown places. Zaoqiwa was shocked. The tomb passage made of stones was very strong, and there was no way for a living person to be rescued from it.

I don’t know why the seventh aunt’s eyes kept swaying in Zaichuwa’s heart. After finishing the meal, Zaiquwa pretended to go to the toilet, went out and squatted down all the way to take a closer look at the terrain.

The ancestral tomb of Zhang Yuer's family is surrounded by a mountain and a ditch. Dozens of tombs are connected together, which is quite large. The larger tombs usually contain the owner, and the smaller tombs may contain burial companions. It seems that the owner is buried there.

It is natural to have a coffin on the tomb, and those who are buried with you may not necessarily have a coffin on the tomb. Maybe I will give the seventh aunt a coffin and bury it in the soil...

In the evening, the grave diggers returned to Zhang Yuer's yard for dinner, but the seventh concubine was gone. The other six concubines knelt in front of Zhang Yuer's body to keep vigil for Zhang Yuer. It seemed that the seventh concubine had been locked up alone. I heard

Those who were buried with him still had to be saved and take a bath... After eating, Zaiquwa took a few steamed buns into his arms. When he came to the wheat straw pile, he saw the master waiting for him there. Zaiquwa took out the steamed buns and handed them to him.

Seeing that the master was devouring his food, the master asked abruptly: "Master, are the burial companions buried alive or beaten to death?"

Huohuo thought very seriously. After thinking about it, he did not answer first, but asked the apprentice: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Please save me." Huohuo asked, "I miss my wife." Zaiquwa nodded. Huohuo said nothing. After a pause, Huohuo suddenly said, "I'll go to the place where you dug the grave tomorrow and have a look."

The Zaichu baby said: "It would be pointless to bury the person after being beaten to death." Huohuo said: "I think it is buried alive, because the living have to go to the underworld to serve the dead." The Zaichu baby said: I

Seeing that many stones had been pulled, they might be used to hoop the tomb. Huohuo said that Qi Aunt Taiye would not be hooped in the tomb, and the burial companions would usually dig a hole and bury them next to the owner.

The wife and Zhang Yuer are buried together, and another grave needs to be dug for her." The master replied: "The seventh concubine is not responsible for the joint burial. Only the eldest wife is qualified." Zaiquwa asked again: "It seems that you

"I also want to save the life of that seventh aunt Tai"? Huohuo lamented: "I don't want to step on a caterpillar if I encounter it on the road, let alone a human life"!

A few days later, it was the day of the funeral. It was an unprecedented scene. The streets of Wagou Town were empty. Watch the funeral tunes played by the twenty-four suonas break through the sky and echo far away. Twenty-four strong men carried a large paper sedan.

As they marched forward, a donkey cart pulling a small paper sedan followed closely behind. Onlookers pointed and said that the coffin pulled by the donkey cart contained the seventh aunt. No one could stand for the seventh aunt.

It's such a pity, it seems to be a natural thing. After burying Zhang Yu'er, the host family held a banquet for guests. The air was filled with a strong smell of wine, and even the wild dogs in Wagou Town were drunk.

As night fell, two ghost figures appeared in the Zhang family's ancestral grave, namely Zai Qiu Wa and his master. The soil of the newly buried grave was soft, and it didn't take long for the master and apprentice to lift up the coffin of Qi Aunt Tai.

Zai Qiu Wa couldn't wait to open the lid of the coffin and touched Mrs. Qi's mouth. She found that there was no air left. She might have died.

Huohuo said: "Let's fill up the grave again and let's go." But the kid was still unwilling and wanted to drag the dead man on his back. Huohuo said: "Apprentice, don't do that. Let's take care of him when we get home." I’ll give you all my family’s wealth and I’ll give you a wife.” Zaiquwa didn’t listen to the master’s words and insisted on carrying the seventh concubine on his back and leaving. Huohuo followed his apprentice for a while and then thought that the grave pit had not been filled yet. There might be trouble when people find out tomorrow morning. So I went back to fill the grave pit, not knowing where the bastard was going to carry the dead man. Watching a meteor streak across the sky that day, I couldn't help but feel sad for a while. , thinking of the wealthy family who married a bride with great fanfare, but the master and the apprentice dug up the woman buried with him in the dark... People always live in hope, hoping to dig out a living person from the grave. , but the woman who was dug up was already dead. What would the dead man do if he planted a baby? Huohuo filled the grave pit for a few times and felt a cold sweat break out on his back. It was hard to say whether it was from fatigue or fear. He picked up the shovel and Regardless of whether the grave pit was filled or not, I walked back through the night, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked to the wheat straw pile. I saw the boy holding the dead man under him, his shirt shining brightly, and heaving with great force. .

Huohuo couldn't care much, so he pulled Zaichuwa away from the dead man, and gasped: "Apprentice, you can't die, otherwise you will have bad luck." Zaichuwa glared at the master: "Who said Qi Aunt is too dead? ?I touched her chest and there was still heat. Give her a little stimulation once a day, maybe she can breathe again."

After hearing that the seventh concubine's grave had been stolen, the sixth concubine suddenly went crazy. She rushed out of the Zhang family compound, stripped naked, and started talking and singing crazily on the streets of Wagou Town...
