Chapter 5 Double Coffins
"Here...Here, what's the name? It's early in the morning!" Li Rang closed his eyes, started from the bed, and answered vaguely in his mouth.
I don’t know if there were too many things that happened yesterday, which made him sleep until now. If someone didn’t shout, he would have been sleeping for a while!
He rubbed his eyes, pulled his clothes on, opened the door in a daze, and saw the people in the yard, and said impatiently.
"I said, village chief, what wind blows you in the early morning?"
"You think I want to come, but you are afraid that you will starve to death. You can clean up. There was a funeral in Qianzhang Village today. The host suddenly had something to do. Go and take it!" The village chief said impatiently.
"Friends?" When Li Rang heard the village chief's words, he immediately became energetic and guarded the dilapidated temple. Not to mention other things, many of the funerals in nearby villages were presided over by his predecessors.
Every time the victim would give him a hundred dollars, then have a good meal and a box of cigarettes or two. The main thing he did was to inform some funeral rules.
After all, there are many rules for this kind of thing, and not everyone knows it clearly. At this time, someone familiar with the rules must preside over it.
Li Rang stayed in the temple all year round, and no one invited him to preside over the wedding, but he was often invited to help with funerals. Over time, he became a living for his original body to have a meal.
As for why the village chief came to inform him, it was because the old thing and the village officials in nearby villages had agreed, for example, if the village chief’s family did business, if other villages needed it, they would first contact him.
Similarly, when encountering other villages and village officials' business, the village chief must also think of others, which is mutually beneficial. After all, a village chief cannot live on a little salary alone, and some extra money is necessary.
"Oh, it turns out that this is the matter. I'm really troubled by the village chief. I'll ask you to come and inform me in person. Come on, please, I'll pour you a cup of tea!" I was thinking about eating meat yesterday, so it was delivered to my door automatically today. Li Rang immediately became enthusiastic.
"Okay, hurry up and clean up and go, there's still a hurry to wait there!" The village chief didn't accept Li Rang's words and urged him directly. As for the change in attitude before and after, he pretended not to see it.
After all, I have known each other for more than ten years, and he still knows whether Li Rang can be lost or not.
"It's so urgent. OK, I won't leave the village chief for tea. When I wash my face, I'll set off immediately!"
"Well, hurry up, I have something to do, so let's go first!" After the village chief said this, he turned around and walked out of the temple without waiting for Li Rang to say anything.
Li Rang followed closely behind and said as he walked, "Okay, village chief, please walk slowly, come often when you have time!"
"Yes" Walking out of the temple gate, the village chief responded unrestrainedly, boarded his electric four-wheeler, and left the dilapidated temple with one step.
Standing at the door and watching the car leave, Li Rang turned back to the temple, hurriedly washed up, and then pushed out a bicycle from the kitchen.
Afterwards, regardless of whether the temple gate was locked or not, he rode his car and set off for Qian Zhangcun.
Although it is a rural area, the roads are not inferior to those in the city at all. Flat concrete roads are open to every village, and not only the main roads, but also the corners and corners are covered with cement.
It was not far away, and Li Rang's strength has increased greatly now. He pedaled as light as nothing. In just less than ten minutes, he arrived at Qianzhang Village.
Although the village chief did not say which family it was, this could not defeat Li Rang at all, because as soon as he entered the village, he heard a loudspeaker show representing sorrow and joy!
Following the sound, he turned around and within a while, he came to a place where the villagers gathered.
"Yeah, isn't this Li Rang from Guan Gong Temple? He presided over the funeral today?"
"It must be him. I heard that the guy who was in charge of the funeral was sick this morning and called Li Rang temporarily!"
"Tsk, what's sick? You don't know. I heard that it seems that it was too late to go back last night and I encountered something unclean on the way..."
"It's true or false, what era has it been, I still believe in this..."
"If you believe it or not, you will lose it. Anyway, this news is absolutely reliable..."
Li Rang's arrival did not attract much attention. After all, he had no money and power, and was still an orphan. Who would pay attention to him if he had nothing to do?
As for everyone's comments, he could hear them clearly. The main reason was that yesterday's improvement was not just about physical fitness but also about strength.
Even vision, hearing, smell, and perception have been greatly improved.
Hearing someone talking about strange things, he quietly became concerned, looked at the speaker deeply, parked the car by the wall, and walked towards the yard.
The reason why he paid attention to this matter was because after a night, he had already considered it clearly that if he wanted to quickly improve his cultivation in a short period of time, he had to contact ghosts and monsters.
After all, he is a systematic person. If he practices step by step, he really doesn't know that he will practice until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
Moreover, it is not only practice, but also the problem of money must be solved, because he is not sure whether ghosts can be seen everywhere. If ghosts are very rare and cannot touch one in a few years, then it will be Vatta.
Therefore, no matter what, the spirit gathering array must be drawn out. This is a guarantee of cultivation!
Li Rang's thoughts changed, and he quickly walked through the gate and came to the yard.
The main house has a yard of not big, three or four hundred square meters. Apart from some debris, it is a simple stove, which is where you are ready to cook later.
Around the stove, the chefs and some village women who helped, were busy all the time. After all, the meals of more than a hundred people are not as simple as cooking two dishes.
Apart from the chef and the village women who helped, the rest are the old and young men who come to do odd jobs in the village!
The mourning hall is located in front of the living room of this house. A tent is simply set up, with an altar inside the tent, with a black and white photo of a young man and some tributes on it.
Behind the altar is a large white cloth that separates the entrance of the hall. If you want to enter the living room, you must walk around from behind the tent.
As for this tent, it is used for guests to worship. When the filial son and virtuous grandson kneel on both sides, the guests will kowtow to thank the gift after the guests have finished worshiping.
When Li Rang arrived, he didn't say anything. He walked into the tent, picked up the incense on it, bowed three times to the photo, and then arrived three more glasses of wine, sprinkled a horizontal line on the altar, which was a respect for the deceased.
After doing this, I bypassed the mourning hall and went to the living room to find the master's house. After all, I have arrived. I have to say hello to the master's house first so that I can't find anyone later.
The owner's house is a very common two-story building in the countryside. The living room is located in the middle. When Li Rang lifts the bamboo curtain, the scene inside shocked him.
I saw two wooden coffins located in the middle of the living room, and opened them and covered them with one mouthful...
