Chapter 3 Three Burials a Day

The reason why Dongshan is called Dongshan is only because it is located east of Youhai.

The sun that people in Youhai see every day rises from half of the waist of Dongshan. This place is not outstanding and the land is not effective. After several generations, there is no great literary master who likes to name the mountains and ridges.

Therefore, the village around Dongshan, which is closest to Dongshan, has seized the name of Dongshan Village. If it is farther away, it has to call itself Dongshan South and Dongshan North.

Zhou Xian rode on the tall horse, restrained his breath and looked at the little husband riding a donkey in front of him. At some point, the snowflakes had turned into sleet, falling down, muddy.

After riding for so long, Chi Shi had not even changed his posture, and he had not even said a word to Lu Jin beside him.

"Young Master, this Chi coroner seems to be just a false reputation. All those who practice martial arts can see that the man was cut off. People in the world like to praise each other, and the Chi family is no longer the same as before. We are afraid that this trip will be a false journey."

Zhou Xian frowned gently and strangled the horse. When the pool in front of him had already stopped.

"Chang Kang, how many times have we met a funeral along the way?"

The guard Chang Kang couldn't help but look back. The mountains and rivers of Youhai were poor, and this road was covered with mud. Looking back, the way he came was covered with yellow and white paper money.

It was misty and rainy. When I looked up, I saw that the east mountain was rising from the middle of the mountain, as if it was covered by mist. The surroundings were very quiet, and I couldn't even hear the sound of a bird.

Only the shadows can hear a trace of illusory tragedy.

"It's the third time." Chang Kang felt his throat a little dry.

He followed Zhou Xian's sight and looked forward.

I saw that when the coroner pool had jumped off the green donkey and stood in front of the coffin.

"What is Jiu Ye doing? Although there is no auspicious time to go up the mountain, it is absolutely impossible to pass the noon. If my father is not buried again, he will have to stop the soul for another three days and start over."

"Now the time is coming, please ask Master Jiu and Captain Lu to move this away and call Xiao to go over with the heart of a filial son."

Chi Shi held an umbrella and stared at the group of mourning people, "Your father is not in the coffin, who do you Chen family want to be a filial son?"

The leader of the Chen family looked at him and became serious again, "My father is obviously here. Master Jiu is a master, but he is not an immortal. He can still see the people inside through the lid of the coffin."

He said, rushing towards Chi Shi.

"Young Master, although this coroner is tall, it is very thin. I am afraid that he will be knocked away like a paper man. Should we take action?" Chang Kang said, a little worried.

The poor mountains and rivers are out of troubled people. The people in this area are fierce and fight every time. They have seen many things along the way.

Zhou Xian said softly with a worried look on his face, "Look at it again."

Chi Shi glanced at the man who was rushing over, holding an umbrella with one hand and gently tweaked the other hand. The filial son named Chen was thrown out and lay in the mud.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, only the rain fell.

Zhou Xian's pupils shrank suddenly, and then a hint of interest rose in his eyes. He understood a little bit why the people of Youhai were not necessarily very respectful to Chi Mian, but when he was in charge of Chi, he called Jiu Ye.

"From the county town, there are horse hoof prints, heading straight to Dongshan Village. Three legs are heavy and one light, and it is a lame horse. The distance between horse hoofs means that the horse is running wildly. This horse is the horse that pulls the cart from Liu Zhao's family in Dongshan Village."

"When I left the city, the snow turned into rain, and the road was just wet. But the horse hoof prints in the wet mud were found as soon as I left the city. This shows that the time when the man set off was exactly the same as mine. However, the donkey I rode and someone rode a horse."

"It is unusual for three people to be buried in Dongshan Village in one day. We are in the sea and stopping the spirit for three days. Before dawn, the filial son and virtuous grandson began to turn the coffin. When we went up the mountain, it happened that the sunrise in the east."

"But you three families are almost noon, and they are burying the people who are just yelling..."

Chi Shi said, glanced at Lu Jin, Lu Jin nodded and chased after the way he came. He had passed two funeral teams from here before.

Chi Shi's expression did not change, he lowered his head and pointed to the feet of several men standing in front of the Chen family, "Your feet are stained with thick mud, and there are also trouser legs. The soles of the shoes are stained with many pine leaves."

She said, raising her finger and pointed at another group of people, "They are all different from you when they come out of the village. If I go to Dongshan now and compare your shoes, I will definitely be able to find the same footprints."

Zhou Xian, who was standing not far away, listened to Chi Shi's unsuspecting words, but looked at him with some admiration.

He had previously wondered why Chi Shi didn't go to Dongshan directly, but wanted to come to Dongshan Village. Obviously, as soon as he left the city gate, he saw the horse's hoof print and had a plan in his mind.

The snow turned into rain, and there were many subtle traces on the mountain, which had been washed away. There was no difference between those who could not move away, going to the pond early and late.

If someone reports the news, who knows? Even if it is not the murderer, it is still a person related to the murderer. Someone wants to take advantage of his arrival to go to the mountain to deal with the traces of murder. If he doesn't go to the east mountain, he just follows the horse's hoof prints to find the person who reports the news.

"You only have one father and one father, but you can't go up the mountain twice," Chi Shi said, looking at the wooden coffin.

"Your father has a big belly and a round waist, which is much heavier than an ordinary man. The weight of this coffin is not like that."

As the Chen family listened, they all changed their faces. The leader who was thrown to the ground wiping the mud on his face with difficulty, "What did Master Jiu say? We don't know. Liu Zhao's mother is sick. Maybe he grabbed the medicine and rushed back in a hurry."

"Every winter, many elderly people have to walk in the village. The weather is cold and there is no food or clothing. It is common for young people to withstand it, and the older people cannot bear it."

"Mr. Jiu hasn't come for a while. My father is seriously ill and he is thin and looks like he is. Isn't this just two bones left in the coffin?"

He said, wiped his tears.

Chi Shi shook her head. She carefully looked at the spiritual cards at the front of the two funeral teams she had passed by. One of the three people was not an old man.

"Others think that the man was called a tiger to eat, but I know that she was killed by someone. Do you think your father was called a tiger to eat, but who knows how he died?"

Chi Shi said, looking at the funeral attendant of the Chen family with a burning gaze.

"You cannot hear the last words of the dead; but I can hear them, and this is the meaning of coronation."

Chi Shi said, stepping forward and putting his hand on the cover of the coffin, "When you go down the pond, come and listen to your suffering in this life."
