My master is invincible

Chapter 1859 Yin Yang Rice (63)

It is not without reason that I ask this.

First, Uncle Yuan was found by Yuan Zhenghua. If Yuan Zhenghua didn't know about it, no one would believe him.

Second, when Uncle Yuan said the bet just now, he glanced at the old lady Yuan's body three times, which is enough to explain some problems.

Third, the appearance of Uncle Yuan is too coincidental.

Based on these three points, I am confident that this matter must have something to do with Yuan Zhenghua or Mrs. Yuan.

At this moment, Yuan Zhenghua came over, he listened to me, and said to me: "Ninth brother, this is what my grandma meant. Her old man said that my grandpa is a coffin bearer. As his wife, my grandma has an obligation Let this industry flourish.”

As he said that, he pulled my arm and said in a low voice, "My cousin took my grandfather's foot. He is my grandfather's half apprentice. I heard that in the whole of Guangdong, he has a great reputation as a coffin bearer." Absolute right to speak, it seems that he is running for the position of the lord of the Guangdong Eight Immortals Palace recently, and he wants to use your reputation to rise to the position."

I glanced at him in surprise. I didn't expect him to tell me these things. Just as I was about to speak, I heard Yuan Zhenghua speak again. He said, "Brother Jiu, based on what I know about my cousin, you can win." The chances are very small, or else, give up this bet."

I smiled and said softly: "It's okay, since he wants to use my reputation to get in the position, I can also use his reputation to do something."

"Ninth brother!" He grabbed me and said in a low voice, "We have many customs here, and it's weird to be particular about it. I think you should think again."

"What's the point?" I asked subconsciously.

He said: "When we carry the coffin at the funeral, we can't wear shoes. We can only wrap our feet with white cloth. And before the funeral, if we carry the coffin, we have to... have to..."

"What?" I asked.

He said, "Got to sleep in a pigsty all night."

"Why?" I hurriedly asked, this custom is too strange, why do I have to sleep in the pigsty all night.

He explained: "Ninth brother, it's like this. Sleeping with a pig for one night is to hope that the deceased will be like a pig in the next life, healthy and healthy. It is a spiritual sustenance."

Ok!

There is also this particularity, but I didn't think about it carefully. After all, every place has its own particularity about customs.

"Ninth Brother, why don't you forget it?" Yuan Zhenghua tried to persuade him again.

I smiled and said: "It's okay, just figure out the general customs. Since your cousin wants to gamble once, I can accompany him."

As I said that, I looked at Uncle Yuan, and said with a smile: "Since you insist on competing with the boy, and the boy is a foreigner, it's not easy to save your face. Do you think this will work? Let's revise this bet." , if you lose, don’t say anything about quitting as a coffin bearer. There are few people in this industry. If you quit, it will be a loss for the coffin bearer industry. So, what I mean is that other contracts will not be exchanged. , the only thing that needs to be changed is this one. Well, if I win, I just hope that you will treat the deceased well on the way to carry the coffin. Do something like that to add insult to injury."

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Yuan stared at me steadfastly and didn't speak.

After nearly half a minute, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Chen Jiu, I, Yuan Qingtian, are convinced by your words alone. Just like the rumors, the dead are the most important."

As he said that, he laughed and said: "Okay, Xiao Jiu, let's change the bet. If you lose, I don't need you to leave this industry. It's not for anything else, just to let the coffin bearer in this society." There is a place, no longer to say it out to make people look down, but to let people think that we are honorable as coffin bearers."

"Okay!" I held out my hand.

Uncle Yuan also stretched out his hand.

In an instant, the two hands were tightly held together.

Long time, hands off.

The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and Uncle Yuan said: "Xiao Jiu, I appreciate your point, but since we have a bet, I will never show mercy when it comes to carrying the coffin, and I hope you will go all out .”

"Don't worry, I'll do my best, but, Uncle Yuan, I'm new here and I don't know much about the customs here, so..."

Before I could finish speaking, Uncle Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is easy to solve. After I get the coffin back to the village, I will send you someone to tell you everything you want to know. After all, we are standing together." The bet must be based on fairness and justice."

Hearing this, I let out a breath and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan."

He gave up and said with a smile: "We are all in the same industry, thank you is too far-fetched, our goal is the same, so, no matter whether we win or lose the bet, I hope you and I can work diligently in this line of work. "

I hummed and didn't speak again.

Afterwards, all of us discussed on the spot for a while, mostly discussing how to carry the coffin and old lady Yuan's body back.

I didn't hide anything about this, and told Uncle Yuan everything I knew about the golden coffin.

When he heard me say that the golden coffin was weightless, his expression sank and he asked me, "Xiao Jiu, are you sure?"

I hummed, and I was afraid that he would not believe me, so I called Zheng Xiguan over and asked Zheng Xiguan to tell us about the coffin we carried earlier.

After hearing this, he frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Without weight, this coffin might be a bit tricky."

I naturally understood this, so I said, "Uncle Yuan, why don't I tinker with the coffin while you tinker with Mrs. Yuan's body?"

He stared at me deeply, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, you know that this golden coffin is not easy to mess with, why did you change it with me? Should I say you are stupid, or should I say that you are too considerate of others?" ?”

I was startled, and immediately understood what he meant, and said, "I'm worried about you..."

Before I could finish speaking, he stopped and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are sixteen of us. In terms of numbers, we are the ones who are exhausted. Naturally, we should carry this golden coffin. Besides, could it be that you are doubting our ability?"

While speaking, he smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted my shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the Cantonese, we can do it."

Seeing this, it's hard for me to say anything, after all, he himself has said so, if I continue to say it, it will only make people look down on them.

At that moment, I smiled and didn't say anything else, but Uncle Yuan asked some more questions, all about Mrs. Yuan, and I didn't hide anything, I told them all.

Uncle Yuan frowned after hearing what happened to Mrs. Yuan, "Xiao Jiu, her body may not be as difficult as a golden coffin, are you sure?"

I raised my eyes to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, I'm not sure at all, so I can only hold my head in suspense."

He looked at me deeply and didn't speak again.

Soon, Uncle Yuan began to arrange for people to carry the golden coffin back to the village, and I did not hesitate to arrange for Zheng Xiguan and others to fiddle with Mrs. Yuan's body.
