Chapter 1 The Burial

Burial Master is a very ancient and perverse profession. It was once called a person who sent the dark, to put it bluntly, he is a person who sent the dead to the road and don't mess around.

My grandfather is a funeralist. Whenever a family in the village holds a funeral, he will be invited to come over. It is quite famous here.

Grandpa has many rules, and not everyone can invite him to attend the funeral.

First, pregnant women will not be buried when they die. In the words of my grandfather, the resentment of the dead baby in the fetus is too heavy and cannot be easily contaminated.

Second, those who die in vain will not be buried. Grandpa said that those who die in vain will have many causes and effects, and once they are involved, they will bear some of them, which is not cost-effective.

Third, those with physical disabilities do not go to the funeral. Grandpa did not explain this, and he did not know the reason. Anyway, when a cripple man from the neighboring village died, his family gave me a lot of gifts and even took several thousand yuan to invite my grandfather over, but his grandfather drove him out of the house.

What I can't stand the most is that on the first day of the month and the fifteenth day of every month, my grandfather would lie in the coffin overnight in the coffin, and I don't know why he had such a quirk.

As I can remember, the old coffin was in my grandfather's room. For more than ten years, my grandfather would lie in it for two days every month, and it was unstoppable.

When I was young, I followed my grandfather and learned a lot of funeral methods. Although I was a little resistant to learning these feudal superstitious things, under the beating of my grandfather's belt and bamboo pole, I could only honestly learn these things from him that seemed to be completely fooling people.

It was not until I was eighteen years old that something happened in the village that my grandfather’s view changed, and my life trajectory was completely biased towards another road...

The hot July is unbearable.

After the college entrance examination, I successfully entered the key normal university in Hangzhou, which was both happy and sad.

I was happy that I studied hard for more than ten years without wasting my life, and finally went to the school I liked. I was worried about tuition and living expenses. The expenses in Hangzhou were quite large, and the family’s financial conditions were not very good. I wanted to reduce the burden for my grandfather, but there was no way to make money.

Just as I was thinking about how to make some money during the summer vacation in the past two months, my childhood friend Li Hu appeared at my doorstep and walked in happily.

"Tianci, why didn't you go to Li Mazi's house to watch the fun?"

I glanced at him and said unhappily: "You guys, please be kind. Li Mazi is dead, are you very happy? You are so happy if you are happy, if Li Mazi's family sees you, you will definitely not be able to spare you!"

Li Hu curled his lips and sat next to me, saying with a sarcastic tone: "Li Mazi has no life either. She just married a beautiful wife and died in bed on the third day. She lost a lot!"

Li Mazi married a beautiful woman three days ago. It is said that she bought it from outside. Although she is beautiful, she is not very smart and a little stupid. However, even so, many old bachelors in the village were envious and jealous. At the wedding three days ago, Li Mazi was very proud!

Who would have thought that Li Mazi would die in just three days. She was really a romantic person who died under the peony flowers. Early in the morning, his family came to invite his grandfather to come over, but he hasn't come back yet.

Seeing Li Hu fiddling with the new smartphone in his hand and smiling very badly, I couldn't help asking: "You kid aren't you going there to shoot a live video or something?"

In recent years, online live streaming has emerged. Many people in the village have become obsessed with this thing. Li Hu is definitely one of the best. Although he stayed at home after graduating from junior high school, online live streaming has also made him make a lot of money, and he has more than 100,000 fans on a certain platform.

He showed me the screen of his phone and said with a smile: "Look, is it very lively? Your old man gave Li Mazi a set of words to give him funeral, which is really a frightening thing. Tianci, you have to talk to the old man. In recent years, it has been very powerful in cracking down on feudal superstition. The old man always does this. Maybe one day the people in the bureau will come to invite him to have tea... Yoho, this video is popular. If it is live, it may be even more popular and a mistake!"

I frowned and looked at Li Hu who was a little annoyed, and said, "I think you should delete this video. The impact is not good, let's talk about it..."

"Just make money, what do you care about so much!"

Li Hu interrupted me, his eyes rolled, and he didn't know what the hell was thinking of. He laughed and said, "Tianci, you can do that kind of thing for the old man, right? You can have a live broadcast with me in two days. It doesn't require much professionalism, as long as it's exaggerated enough. As long as our live broadcasts are popular, my buddy will never treat you badly..."

I shook my head straightforwardly and said, "No, I'm afraid I'm caught and can't afford to lose that person!"

Live funeral?

You damn it, do you think your life is very stable, right? Believe it or not, the police uncle came to you to talk to you through the Internet cable?

"Don't refuse so quickly!"

Li Hu persuaded him without giving up: "Under normal circumstances, I can receive gifts of thousands of yuan for a live broadcast. If we cooperate, maybe a live broadcast can get tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan..."

"How many?" I stared at Li Hu with wide eyes, looking at him with disbelief.

I only know that Li Hu makes money by playing online live videos, but I didn’t expect that he would make money like this. Under normal circumstances, a live broadcast is only a few thousand yuan, which is comparable to the monthly salary of white-collar workers in big cities. This is a big money too quickly!

I was moved, really moved!

Li Hu seemed to have seen through the thoughts in my heart and said with a smile: "I will come to you in two days. Let's have a good show and we will share the money we earn equally!"

After saying that, before I could respond, Li Hu walked out of my house humming a small song.

It was not until his figure disappeared outside my door that I recovered. My mind was full of the idea of ​​making money by live streaming. As for the name of feudal superstition, people in the bureau came to me, I no longer thought about it.

It was not until evening that my grandfather returned home.

I wanted to talk to him about what I was going to make money with Li Hu, but I found that my grandfather's face looked ugly, as if he was holding his anger, which made me dare not mention the live broadcast to him.

During dinner, my grandfather drank half a pound of white wine, and his anger exploded. He suddenly threw the bottle of wine in his hand to the ground, scaring me.

I stared at my grandfather's family and scolded Li Mazi's family. After greeting the female relatives of the 18 generations of Li Mazi's family, my grandfather said to me with red eyes: "From now on, when I see Li Mazi and their family around, don't say hello to them, and don't let them enter our door... Damn, I dare to be so silly, even if their family dies in front of me, I won't interfere anymore. Let's go to his grandma's..."

Seeing my grandfather cursing back to the house, I was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Could it be that after my grandfather gave Li Mazi a funeral, Li Mazi's family was foolish and did not pay for my grandfather's funeral?
