Chapter 183 The Red Coffin(1/2)
"Whatever you say is what it is. I'm too lazy to explain it to you."
Chen Haodong didn't want to argue with him at this time, so he checked the time and then lit the incense candle, while Huang Daozhang arranged the sacrifices.
"The sky is round and the earth is a place, and there are nine chapters of laws and regulations. I am breaking the ground now to sweep away the bad omen. The golden pickaxe and jade are in place, and everything will be auspicious. The princess and mother of the earth are standing aside."
After doing all this, Chen Haodong quickly formed seals with his hands and quickly recited the Earth-Breaking Mantra.
Huang Taoist lit the firecrackers, threw some yellow paper nearby, and then began to burn paper money.
After finishing all this, Chen Haodong and Huang Daochang took the engineering shovel and started digging. Not long after digging, they saw Xia Zhiguo and seven or eight fellow villagers walking over not far away.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay. Just dig quickly. By the way, you have to dig ten feet."
These people are depressed. When digging a well, they always dig seven feet. This person wants to dig ten feet. Is there a mistake?
"This is different, just dig it out."
Chen Haodong didn't want to explain, and he didn't understand even after explaining it to them, so he asked Xia Zhiguo.
"Is the coffin ready?"
"Everything is ready. I'm just waiting for Master Chen to come tomorrow."
Chen Haodong and Xia Zhiguo were chatting about tomorrow's burial. At this time, Ma Xiaohou called out enthusiastically.
"uncle."
"Isn't this Xiaohou? Why did you come with me?"
"Nana and I are here. By the way, when will we discuss the bride price?"
If Ma Xiaohou had mentioned this matter the day before, Xia Zhiguo would have been eager to let Shana marry him earlier, but now it was too late and he could only refuse politely.
"Xiaohou, you can discuss love with Nana, or just contact her for a while first."
"Okay, I plan to go to work with Shana then, so that we can take care of each other."
For the sake of talking, Ma Xiaohou couldn't say anything and could only laugh.
At this time, time disappeared minute by minute. Chen Haodong walked over and looked at the wellhead. The division of labor was clear.
Piles of loess were brought up. Unexpectedly, these villagers were so fast. They were almost finished digging in half an hour.
"You actually want to work with me? I don't know if our boss wants anyone else, but I can't guarantee that you can come."
Xia Na deliberately spoke loudly to let Chen Haodong know. Chen Haodong could only hold back his laughter. Xiao Jiujiu in Xia Na's heart naturally understood.
If Ma Xiaohou knew that Chen Haodong was Shana's boss, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood.
"Lao Xia, the digging has been completed."
At this time, someone in the well shouted, and Xia Zhiguo ran up and enthusiastically handed out a pack of cigarettes to everyone.
The villager climbed out of the well and took the cigarette, thanking him.
"Thank you for your hard work."
At this time, Chen Haodong jumped into the pit and threw the yellow paper on it. Then he took out a dozen Five Emperors coins from the bag, placed them on the yellow paper, and then sprinkled the rosin on the yellow paper.
Chen Haodong crawled out, lit a fire underneath, and then said after the fire burned out.
"Just call it a day and go home. Get ready to move the grave at eight o'clock tomorrow."
"Thank you for your hard work. It's getting late. Let's go have a meal together."
A few people packed up and then walked down the mountain. Chen Haodong reminded them halfway.
"Remember to prepare two hearses and pull coffins tomorrow."
"good."
Fortunately, Xia Zhiguo
There was a van when we came here, but I don't know whose van it belongs to, otherwise so many people wouldn't be able to fit in it.
"Everyone has worked hard, everyone can eat whatever they want."
More than a dozen people drove directly to Xia Zhi Country. By this time, Gao Min had already prepared a table of dishes.
At this time, Huang Daochang pulled Xia Zhiguo aside and spoke softly. He also took a card from his pocket and handed it over.
"This card contains 50,000 yuan. You take it first. I'm sorry for this matter, brother."
"No, I really can't have it. Last time you only charged me a thousand yuan."
Xia Zhiguo waved his hand and declined.
"Who said we couldn't have it? He gave it to us."
Gao Min saw this scene, grabbed the card from Huang Daozhang's hand, and put it in his pocket.
"Young man, let me see, if you start this business at a young age, you should make a lot of money."
Chen Haodong could only chat with these villagers and drink some wine.
"not a lot."
"You're not honest, we don't want yours, come and take a sip."
Although these people asked questions, they were very polite to Chen Haodong. They did not toast again, but they did not drink excessively. Seeing that Chen Haodong was in trouble, they did not force it and just laughed.
An hour later, Chen Haodong returned to the hotel and called the monk, intending to ask about the situation there. After thinking about it for a while, Chen Haodong finally connected.
"Monk Hua, how are you doing over there?"
"I was just about to call you just to say this, but I couldn't find it. I haven't seen him for a long time."
It took the monk a long time to say it.
"If not, then go back. We are already incompatible with them, and they will naturally come to us for trouble."
Chen Haodong thought for a moment before speaking, and then hung up the phone after chatting for a while.
Chen Haodong arrived at Xia Zhi Country at about seven o'clock the next morning. When he entered, he found that there were more than a dozen people whom Chen Haodong didn't recognize, and each of them was eating a bowl of noodles.
"Master Chen, you're here so early, come over and have breakfast."
There were seven or eight other villagers he met while drinking last night, and Xia Zhiguo hurried over.
"I'm eating, you're eating, and by the way, no women are here today."
Chen Haodong reminded that Chen Haodong didn't want something embarrassing like yesterday to happen, so it was better not to let women come and watch.
You can't just ask them one by one, so Chen Haodong can only give advice like this. Soon Xia Zhiguo called out from inside the room.
"I'm sorry, ladies, please don't watch around today. I'm afraid this scene will affect you."
"Lao Xia, what do you mean?"
Suddenly one woman felt dissatisfied. Doesn’t this look down on them as women?
"Today is a special time. If a woman comes over, we will not be responsible for any consequences."
Xia Zhiguo didn't know how to answer. At this time, Huang Daochang took a step forward and explained that he also knew what Chen Haodong meant.
Only then did these people believe what Huang Daozhang said. After all, older people have heard Huang Daozhang's stories to some extent.
At around seven o'clock, a group of people set off in a mighty manner and there were two hearses. There were coffins and a stone tablet on top of the hearses.
There is a hearse as a spare, just for fear that the coffin is broken and the bones need to be collected. Chen Haodong heard from Xia Zhiguo before that the coffin was not broken, but where to bury it, the current situation is that no one can take it.
Finally we came to the ancestral grave, but at this time there were many people standing around the grave. There were men and women, and I didn’t know where they were.
The coming wind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please avoid me. If you want to know what happened, go back and ask your families."
At this time, Huang Taoist came out and shouted with a loudspeaker. Seeing that some people were still reluctant to leave, Huang Taoist called some villagers to stop these ladies from leaving.
After the people left, Huang Daozhang ordered these people to start playing with it, and placed a table in front of the tombstone.
Then bamboo poles were erected around the tomb, and the tops of the bamboo poles were covered with red cloth, and the red cloth was fixed in place to avoid sunlight while waiting for the coffin to be opened.
"Daozhang Chen, everything is fine."
There were also salutes and firecrackers set off around. After everything was arranged, the zodiac leader shouted.
Chen Haodong signaled Xia Zhiguo to come over and followed him with some details. After hearing this, Xia Zhiguo couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
"Can you do it?"
"Men can't say no."
Chen Haodong then walked to the seat. At this time, there were some sacrifices and an incense burner on the table.
"The descendants of the Xia family stepped forward and arranged themselves according to seniority."
Chen Haodong shouted, and seven or eight people came up, mostly close relatives. Then Chen Haodong killed a rooster, cut its throat, and then threw it away.
"Descendants of the Xia family, please offer incense."
Chen Haodong shouted. At this time, Daochang Huang came over with a handful of incense and gave three sticks to each person.
