Seeing that Li Li was determined to carry Aunt Li's coffin back to the old courtyard on Lushan Road to pay homage, Caitou Toutou had no choice but to step forward and say:
"Boss Li, please wait a moment, I will discuss this with several other masters."
"There's no need to discuss it. Isn't it just a matter of money? In this way, this time your wages will be calculated as two funerals, and the benefits will be doubled."
"Boss Li, the wages are calculated based on two funerals. Master Jiujin has already agreed with us from the beginning. As for the benefit money, it is just a meaning. As long as the funeral is organized by Master Jiujin, we usually only charge one hundred yuan. , wouldn’t it be only two hundred yuan if you doubled it?”
"Don't mention anything like nine or ten pounds in front of me from now on. I'll take care of my parents' funerals myself. The money will be 500 for each person. How about 800 for you?"
"Will the five hundred or eight hundred be doubled?"
"Double it of course!"
"That's not bad. Everyone, come and carry the coffin."
Money can make the world go round, but the boss couldn't resist the temptation of money. He turned around and called out to the other bosses, and Mr. Eighth immediately went to stand next to Aunt Li's coffin.
"Master Wang, are you there?"
The toe and toe of the wood call out to Carpenter Wang.
"He has gone back a long time ago. Are you looking for him to ask him to chat with you?"
Eighteen urine responses to the toes and heads.
"He has gone back too? Well, let me read it alone for a while."
Tou Tiao lit a large handful of incense and gave three sticks each to the other Tsai Tou, Li Li, Li Ya, the contractor, and the engineering team members. When they were given to Shi Shi, Li Li shouted from behind:
"Don't give it to him, he is not one of our own."
Upon hearing what Li Li said, Shibapi got up from the ground, walked to Aunt Li's coffin and said:
"Li Li, Li Zapo, do you want to rely on the five thousand yuan for dragging the coffin? Well, I will drag Aunt Li's coffin into the tomb to return it now."
"Five thousand yuan won't cost you a penny, but now you disappear immediately!"
Li Li came over to protect Aunt Li's coffin.
"Okay, I'll disappear immediately, and you can wait until you cry for father and mother!"
Shibatu walked down from the foundation of the tomb, walked through the woods, and walked away.
After Shibapi disappeared, Li Li said to Caitou Toutou:
"Carry my mother home!"
"Boss Li, according to the rules, you and your sister should lift both ends of the coffin, and then pass the rope through the bottom of the coffin. When binding, you must kneel on the ground and cry out for your mother."
Caitou Toutou explained to Li Li.
"This is no problem, Li Ya, come here quickly, you are the one carrying the coffin."
Li Li walked to the head of the coffin.
"Sister, what should I do with this?"
Li Ya asked Li Li holding the small rattan box in her hand.
"Put it on the ground first."
"oh."
Li Ya put the small rattan box on the ground and walked to the end of the coffin.
"Carry the coffin and go home!"
Caitou Toutou shouted, "Li Li, Li Ya leaned over to carry Aunt Li's coffin."
"Crack!"
When the four hands of sisters Li Li and Li Ya reached out to the coffin, the coffin containing Aunt Li fell into pieces and was shattered into pieces like the coffin outside.
Then there was a loud thunder, and a strong wind blew, blowing Aunt Li's costume into the air.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Li Li and Li Ya rushed towards Aunt Li, trying to protect Aunt Li's body.
The thunder became louder and louder, the wind blew stronger and stronger, and the large raindrops fell thicker and thicker, turning into a torrential downpour.
There was thunder for half an hour, strong winds blowing for half an hour, and heavy rain for half an hour...
The thunder stopped, the wind and the rain stopped, and a rainbow formed above the grove connecting Aunt Li's grave and Master Li's grave.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Only Li Li and Li Ya were left in the entire Xishan Cemetery. Everyone else, including the contractor and the little secretary, ran away without a trace.
"Sister, why are we holding a piece of wood?"
"Wood? How can it be a piece of wood?"
As soon as Li Ya reminded her, Li Li opened her eyes and saw that what the sisters were holding in their arms was actually a piece of wood.
"Where are my mother's bones? Where are my mother's bones?"
Li Li straightened up. She and Li Ya had both bent over and hugged Aunt Li's body tightly. Now they were panicking when they saw that they were holding a piece of wood.
"Sister, please wipe your face first."
Li Ya and Li Li were soaked to the skin, with water on their heads and faces. They didn't know whether it was rain or sweat.
"Where are my mother's bones? Where are my mother's bones?"
Li Li kept mumbling, but her feet stood still, unable to move forward.
"Sister, my mother's grave is also missing."
At this time, Li Ya was more awake than Li Li. She looked around and saw that the area where their sisters were standing had been covered with soil again.
"There are no graves anymore? There are no graves anymore? Am I wrong? Am I wrong?"
Li Li looked around blankly, her expression dull.
"Sister, did we wrongly blame Master Jiujin and wrongly blame Grandpa Tang?"
Li Ya picked up a towel at her feet and wiped the water droplets on Li Li's head and face.
"Impossible, I can't be wrong, I can never be wrong. I want to take my mother home to enter the nave. I want to take my mother home to enter the nave. You go find your mother's bones quickly. You go find your mother's bones quickly.
.”
Li Li grabbed Li Ya's hand and kept shouting.
"Sister, there is nothing except that small box."
Li Ya went over and picked up the small vine box.
"The little box is still there? The little box is still there?"
Li Li touched the small rattan box with both hands, tears rolling down her eyes again.
"Sister, let's go back."
"Go back, go back, go back..."
With Li Ya's support, Li Li walked and stopped all the way, and didn't return to the old yard on Lushan Road until noon.
There was no one in the old courtyard, the candles and incense had long been burned out.
"Sister, wash your face first."
Li Ya helped Li Li sit down on a stool in the hall.
"Little box, little box, little box..."
Li Li didn't let go of Li Ya, her eyes fixed on the small vine box in Li Ya's other hand.
Li Ya put the small vine box on Li Li's lap, went over and got two towels, wiped Li Li's hair and face first, and then wiped them herself.
"Sister, go get those two small boxes from last night."
"good."
Li Ya saw that Li Li's consciousness was gradually returning to normal, and she gradually relaxed in her heart. She ran into the east wing and took out the two small boxes she brought back from the Li family's old house last night.
"Sister, please open those two small boxes."
"Sister, these two small boxes are also locked."
"Key, use the key to open it."
"Where is the key?"
"Key, key, use the key to open it quickly!"
"Sister, I know how to open it with a key, but where is the key?"
"Where is the key? Where is the key?"
"Sister, we need six keys to open these three small boxes. Where can we find six keys?"
"Key, key, where is the key?"
Li Li's mind fell into chaos again. She ran to the east wing, the west wing, the two master bedrooms, and the hallway, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find the key.
Li Ya followed Li Li and did not dare to stop her easily. Later, when she saw Li Li return to the place where the three small boxes were placed and sit down, she dared to ask her cautiously:
"Sister, why don't we ask Master Jiujin to help us with the funeral arrangements for our parents."
"Don't mention her!"
Li Li shouted hoarsely, grabbing three small boxes with both hands and hugging them tightly to her chest.
"Sister, my mother's body turned into a piece of wood, the grave was re-buried with soil, and the three small boxes cannot be opened. What should we do?"
Li Ya also sat down on the ground weakly. She looked at the urn of her biological father on the Eight Immortals table, and her tears couldn't stop flowing like broken pearls.
Why? Why does it become like this?
Why did Grandpa Tang build a tombstone for his living father? Why did his mother’s body turn into a piece of wood?
Why does my sister care so much about Grandpa Tang setting up a tombstone for Dad? Why did Master Jiu Jin leave us?
Why did mother leave us three small boxes? Why did she lock the small boxes? Why did the small boxes have no keys?
Why why?
Why is my life so miserable?
Sister, you have enjoyed your happy time to some extent, but what about me? I have nothing but endless pain!
