Chapter 379

After all, the paper can't contain the fire, not to mention that there is a young man named Yang. The fact that Old Xu's death is related to the big smoke has spread to the ears of the people who came back from the old Xu's house. Seeing the big smoke is like It's like seeing an enemy.

Everyone wanted to sue opium to the officials, but no one could do anything about it.

After all, the situation at that time was so dangerous, and even if Old Xu was not kicked to death, he would have been poisoned to death.

Even if he went to the town to invite the head catcher, he still said the same thing.

What I hate the most is Xu Xian'er, who failed to set the blame before, but instead lived in fear all day long.

Now people who are clearly killed under the watchful eyes of the public cannot file a case.

On the third day after Old Xu's funeral was over, the 'Eight Immortals' came to carry him. Almost everyone in Old Xu's family went out with him, and many people from the village also went to help.

Counting the old Xu Tou as the first Patriarch of the Xu family, and because he died unexpectedly, he must be very careful in choosing his grave.All these things were covered by Boss Xu. The grave diggers, the Eight Immortals and others were all invited by Boss Xu.

The geomantic omen of Yangtizi Mountain is good, and the grave site of Lao Xutou was chosen there.

The custom here is to be absolutely quiet when the coffin is lowered. Except for the person who falls into the coffin, everyone must turn their backs to the coffin. Relatives of the deceased are in front, and insignificant outsiders are kept far away.

The Taoist priests invited asked people to drop the coffin into the pit, and then it would fall to the ground.

Boss Xu thought that the people he invited were all good people, but he didn't expect that the Taoist priest he invited was an old fritter.

"Come, come, old Xu's family, come up, sons and grandchildren, each of them sprinkle a handful of mud on the coffin, and send your Patriarch on his last journey." The old Taoist looked serious, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Old Xu's family didn't understand either. Hearing what the old Taoist said, they all obediently took turns to sprinkle soil on it.

After Lao Xu's family members had sprinkled the soil, the old Taoist made them turn their backs to the coffin again, so don't look back.

Then they asked people to put the remaining soil on it, and said plausibly: "Xu Geng, the deceased, you have to see clearly, it is not this Taoist who wants to bury you, but your family buried you with their own hands, and one person sprinkled it for you. Don't blame the old Taoist for the soil."

Old Xu's family: "..."

"Don't turn your head back, don't talk, or you will be easily shocked." The old Taoist seemed to know what the old Xu's family was thinking, and said immediately.

Old Xu's family: "..."

The Eight Immortals who were invited were very upright, and while falling into the ground, they plausibly said that this matter had nothing to do with them.

They were also terrified when they heard that old Xu died in a wicked manner.

When the tomb was placed and the stele was dropped, the old Xu's family turned their heads and saw the serious look of the old Taoist, and all their faces turned green.

But at this time, they were suspicious and did not dare to go against the old Taoist priest. They followed the old Taoist priest's instructions and left quietly after bowing down.

Can't speak, can't look back.

The old Taoist came only after receiving money, and he disappeared as soon as the ceremony was finished, and when the old Xu family went to find someone to settle accounts, he had already disappeared, leaving only a young apprentice to do the finishing touches .

The little apprentice was also very powerful, and directly choked: "Who made you stupid, told you to scatter the soil, and you scatter it, and don't ask if you can do it."

The old Xu's family was so angry that they almost beat them with their fists.

The Eight Immortals who carried the coffin didn't leave, they stayed to eat before leaving.Old Xu's family can't do anything about them, after all, they didn't make this up, they just yelled a few times.

Originally, after old head Xu died, boss Xu should be in charge of this family. In order to show himself, he took care of everything, but he never expected to invite such a person.

The old Taoist heard that he had a good reputation, so he would do such a thing somehow.

Old Xu's face was green, and Boss Xu's face was even greener. After all, he was the one who hired him.

This matter soon spread throughout the village, and everyone knew that the old Xu's family was lost, and once again became a joke in the village after dinner.

However, the villagers have remembered this stalk, and told their descendants not to commit such stupid things in the future.

After hearing the news, Da Yan trembled with laughter.

That old Taoist priest is really bad enough, even if such a thing happened, he is not afraid of smashing his own signboard.It is estimated that for a long time to come, the faces of the old Xu family will all be green.

Many people believe that there are ghosts in this world, and Old Xu's family is no exception.

They were all terrified of the old Xu Tou who was still alive, let alone dead ghosts.

On the day after Old Xu's head was buried, Xiao Yang was also taken away by the government.

Those waiting for Xiao Yang are likely to be dispatched to mines in other cities to mine, and it is very difficult to have a chance to come back alive in a lifetime.

On the evening of the second day after the funeral, Xu Laosan came back in a hurry.

Unkempt and unrecognizable at first glance.

After inquiring, I learned that Xu Laosan rushed back immediately when he heard the news. He didn’t know that he could walk by the Tianzhu River. He was so shy that he borrowed money from others. Everyone he knew was poor, and even one piece was not enough for one or two dollars. For Yinzi, there is no way to rent a carriage from Daqingcheng to Heishan County.

Someone borrowed a horse for him to ride, but he still doesn't know how to ride a horse.

The youngest Xu bought a bag of dry food and ran all the way back when he was helpless. When he was tired from running, he would find a place to rest and continue running when he was rested.

Along the way, apart from drinking water and eating, I didn't care about anything else at all, so when I got home, I looked like this.

I didn't take a shower for three or four days, and the smell all over my body was unbelievable.

But even though Xu Laosan had already run very fast, he still failed to catch up with Old Xu's funeral, and was a whole day late.

Hearing that Old Xu's head had been buried, Old Xu sat down on the ground.

After that, I can't get up anymore.

Along the way, he held his breath and ran, but now he let out his breath, and he was limp on the ground, looking like he was dying.

"I said, even if your father died, that wouldn't be the case, right? Hurry up and go wash up, you'll be smothered to death." Da Yan stretched out his foot and kicked Xu Laosan who was lying on the hall outside the house, A look of disgust.

A person came in from outside the courtyard, and when he saw it, he hurried forward.

Da Yan raised his eyebrows and looked: "Yo, you're here."

Damian put his feet back, stared at Mrs. Xu, and was about to tell the old woman a story, so he ran here by himself.

Mrs. Xu didn't even look at opium. She looked carefully at Youngest Xu. She came here because she heard that Oldest Xu was back. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here.

"How did you become so virtuous?" Mrs. Xu frowned and looked at Youngest Xu.

"He's not very popular, so he wanted to borrow money, but not many people were willing to borrow money. They couldn't even rent a carriage, and they couldn't ride a horse, so they had to run back. That's what happened." Big Smoke Answer for Xu Laosan.
