Chapter 80 Set up a mourning hall
"Your grandma's mother's home is the Zheng family in Luocheng."
Facing Li Ergou's inquiry, Uncle San took a deep breath and said, as if he had mentioned some amazing family.
"What, it's the Zheng family in Luocheng!"
Before Li Ergou could say anything, the fat man exclaimed first.
"What's wrong, Fat Master, is the Zheng family in Luocheng very powerful?"
Li Ergou asked in confusion, and then his face became solemn.
He knew that if it were an ordinary family, the fat man would not have been so incompetent.
"It's not just amazing. This family specializes in practicing ghost paths and dominates the Central Plains. Even my master has to give in to them when he sees them." The fat man explained.
After saying that, he looked at Li Ergou again and pretended to be surprised and said, "Brother Ergou, I didn't expect you to have such a background."
"What a shit background!"
Li Ergou gave the fat man a blank look and said angrily.
Even though he said that, his face became solemn, and he felt a little overwhelmed in an instant.
The Zheng family in Luocheng did not expect that it would have such a great origin. Even the mysterious master of Fatty must be respectful to them.
Li Ergou finally understood why his grandfather went to the Zheng family in Luocheng several times, but eventually returned in vain.
"Fat Master, you said that the suicide note left by grandpa was read in advance. Could it be that my grandma is referring to?"
Li Ergou suddenly remembered what the fat man said before, and looked at him with hope and asked.
If this is the case, then things will be easy. As long as you find grandma, everything will still have hope.
"It shouldn't be."
Unexpectedly, the fat man shook his head and said, "I used to guess based on the hair in the envelope. Now it seems that it is not the case."
After hearing what the fat man said, Ergou couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"Forget it, Ergou, let's take care of your grandfather's funeral first. After your grandfather is buried, I will go to Luocheng in person."
Seeing Li Ergou's listless look, Uncle San immediately walked up and patted his shoulder and said.
"All right!"
Li Ergou nodded, and then went to the kitchen with Fatty, Uncle San, and others. After a few bites of food, he started to get busy.
Uncle San was responsible for going to the village to find someone to help, and by the way, he spread the news of his grandfather's accidental death according to his grandfather's suicide note.
Li Ergou and Fatty found a coffin shop, ordered a coffin and transported it back, put a few clothes that grandfather often wore, and set up a mourning hall.
Although Wolong Village is mainly composed of the Liu clan and most of the surname Liu, his grandfather is respected on weekdays. With the call of his grandfather, his funeral soon became a major event for the whole village.
Since the mourning hall was built, people have been burning incense and kowtowing to worship grandpa.
Li Ergou, his third uncle, and Li Ergou's mother were always wearing mourning clothes and kneeling in front of the coffin to keep a soul for his grandfather.
As long as someone comes to worship, they will kowtow and return the ceremony. This is a custom of rural funerals.
In the evening, Liu Yuntao seemed to have heard the sound of the wind and actually brought Mr. Zhong to him.
Li Ergou looked annoyed when he saw Liu Yuntao. This man had said that he was as close as a brother to his father, and he called out a big nephew.
As a result, he secretly summoned people to the underground maze and forced his grandfather to death.
If Li Ergou is him, he would have been away as far as he could have been, but he would have been so good that he was just like a person who was fine, and he had the face to bring Mr. Zhong to burn incense to his grandfather.
"What are you doing? Our family doesn't welcome you, so you can leave quickly!"
Seeing the two of them coming, Li Ergou quickly stood up and said coldly to Liu Yuntao.
"Big nephew, don't do this. We are also ashamed of our hearts. Come and put in incense sticks and see you off to Uncle Ruzhong." Liu Yuntao said with a smile on his face.
However, his smile fell into Li Ergou's eyes, as hypocritical as it would be.
"Ergou, the visitor is a guest. Your grandfather just passed away, so it's not appropriate to cause trouble." Li Ergou was about to say something, but Uncle San stood up and patted his shoulder and said.
Uncle San said this, and Li Ergou couldn't say anything else, so he could only kneel back to the ground. However, his eyes were still staring at Liu Yuntao to prevent them from playing tricks.
"Oh, it's better for the Sanyuan brothers to understand the general situation. Don't worry, let's worship Uncle Ruzhong and leave."
Liu Yuntao sighed, then knelt in front of grandpa's coffin with Mr. Zhong, and kowtowed to grandpa three times.
After the incense, he and Mr. Zhong stood up and did not stop too much. Before leaving, they looked back at Li Ergou and said, "Big nephew, you have to be careful, those people will not give up."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and leave!" Li Ergou was angry as soon as he heard this and said unhappy.
He didn't like this Liu Yuntao at all. This weasel would definitely not be kind to pay New Year's greetings to the chicken.
Those people won’t give up, can you, Liu Yuntao and Mr. Zhong?
If this is true, why should I go to Wolong Village as if I was paying homage to my grandfather, but secretly I don’t know what ulterior motives I am going to do.
After Li Ergou was shrugged, Liu Yuntao felt that he couldn't bear to worry about his face, but he didn't have much to say anything about so many neighbors.
"Big nephew, then we will leave first, and you will be mourning and following the changes."
A trace of viciousness flashed across Liu Yuntao's face, but it was soon covered by his smile, and then said to Li Ergou with a slight smile.
After saying that, he stopped stopping and left the yard with Mr. Zhong. Not long after, he heard the sound of the car motor.
I think it was because I didn’t get any benefits from Li Ergou, so I went back to Yangcheng in shame.
Liu Yuntao's arrival is just a small episode.
When everyone left in the evening, Li Ergou and Uncle San stood up from the ground.
To be honest, after kneeling on the ground for a day, Li Ergou and the others were not relaxed, even their knees were numb.
But the fat man is relatively better. He has always acted as his grandfather’s junior, standing in front of the mourning hall, accompanying Li Ergou and the others to keep a walk from time to time.
After dinner, Li Ergou, Uncle San, and Fatty returned to the mourning hall, intending to continue keeping the soul for his grandfather.
As for Zhou Yun, Li Ergou advised her to go back to her room to rest, on the one hand because he felt sorry for his mother.
On the other hand, it is because for some reason, Li Ergou always feels vaguely uneasy, and always feels that something bad will happen at night.
He was afraid that if Zhou Yun accompanied the guard, he would be frightened.
Next, until after one o'clock in the night, there was no movement. Li Ergou thought he was thinking too much, so he fell asleep against the door panel in a daze.
But for some reason, Li Ergou always had nightmares. First, he dreamed of the corpse king in the maze, which was opening his bloody mouth and gnawing on his grandfather.
Then he dreamed that his grandmother came back and without saying a word, she opened the turtle-carrying monument in the Liu clan ancestral hall.
