Chapter 167 The funeral ceremony

"Although I didn't notice anything unusual here, I always feel something is wrong. As you said, so many people are rushing to be his filial sons, why did they choose you?" Chen Jiangtao interrupted.

"I feel the same as you, especially after I came here, I always feel like there are eyes staring at me in the dark with malicious intentions. Maybe things are going too fast, and I was dragged to do those rituals as soon as I came in." Li Wei is still a little confused, so because of the tossing just now, the professor was so hungry that he picked up a bowl of rice in front of him and started eating.

After taking a few bites, Li Wei suddenly wrinkled his nose and smelled it a few times, and then spit out the rice that was still chewing in his mouth: "How come this bowl of rice has a strange smell?"

"Strange smell?" Chen Jiangtao took Li Wei's bowl of rice and sniffed it a few times, then smelled his own bowl again, and said, "No? Just like mine."

Chen Jiangtao handed the rice bowl to Yang Tao and the others and smelled it. They all said there was no odor. Especially after being smelled by Yu Xu, a person with a very sensitive nose, they also said there was no odor. You know, Yu Xu's nose was a dog nose that his mother had been a child. Now he said there was no strange smell, so there must be no.

Yu Xu handed the rice bowl to Li Wei, and he smelled it again, and said in surprise: "No, there were obviously some just now, why did it disappear all at once?"

"What did you smell just now?"

"It seems like a fishy smell..." Li Wei recalled.

"Are you tired, causing problems with your nose and smell?" Zhang Min said, bringing Li Wei's rice bowl away, and then changing Li Wei to a new bowl from the place where he made the meal.

Just as Zhang Min sat in her seat, at the entrance of the restaurant, Master Ruan slowly walked in and said to several people: "Tomorrow, 8 o'clock, I'll be bothering you to get up early, and you'll have to work harder."

Originally, the people in the restaurant didn't pay much attention to Chen Jiangtao, Li Wei and others. After seeing Master Ruan and several solemnly explaining, everyone's eyes were gathered on several people.

Li Wei and others quickly finished their meals and left. From the eyes of those people, they could clearly feel the strong hostility.

Early the next morning, Chen Jiangtao and others were woken up, and then they went to the hall with Li Wei.

"Please the burial ceremony!" The sarcastic voice sounded loudly again.

As soon as the voice fell, six men walked out of the hall, all wearing mourning clothes, carrying a coffin from the door, with the head facing north and feet facing south on the west side of the room. A woman in mourning clothes came to the east and pulled the curtains so that the sunlight that had just risen outside could shine in.

Immediately afterwards, two other women came to the coffin and spread the lime and lantern grass that had been prepared on the bottom of the coffin, with a wooden board on it. Chen Jiangtao saw that seven dark and shiny stones were inlaid on the wooden board, which were seven-star boards.

Yu Xu and Miao Li continued to watch in the hall. Chen Jiangtao went to the bathroom and delayed for a few minutes before he walked into the hall.

Master Ruan stepped over and directly met Chen Jiangtao. His body blocked his sight intentionally or unintentionally. At the same time, he asked with a gloomy expression on his face: "The burial needs to be completed together. You are Mr. Li's assistant. Can you please help me?"

"Me?" Chen Jiangtao asked in a low voice. At this time, Miss Li came to him and asked with an anxious expression when she first entered the door: "Is that OK? Chen Jiangtao?"

Chen Jiangtao was stunned. After entering the room, Chen Jiangtao did not introduce herself to Miss Li. How did she know her name? But when she thought that it might be what Professor Li Wei said, she didn't take it too seriously, so she nodded and agreed.

After walking over, Li Wei was standing there with a solemn expression. When they saw Chen Jiangtao coming, the two looked at each other without saying a word.

"Mr. Chen, you will hold Mr. Li's head later. Miss Li and Mr. Li are responsible for holding your feet and waist respectively. Remember, when you hug, you must be parallel to your body. Remember not to let the old man 'see' his feet." Master Ruan said in particular.

"What if I've seen it?" Chen Jiangtao asked a little puzzled. Chen Jiangtao was good at choosing a cemetery, but there were many statements at the funeral, but Chen Jiangtao was puzzled. After all, the customs of these things are different in different places.

Master Ruan first coughed, and then said with a serious expression: "If the old man 'sees' his feet, he will have resentment left in the world and then come out to cause trouble..."

Chen Jiangtao's eyes flashed, and the words "come out to cause trouble" made him shocked. Chen Jiangtao thought to himself: If the dead will still cause trouble as Master Ruan said, it should be a conflict. This has some common points with Feng Shui. I don't know what the difference between resentment and Feng Shui evil mentioned by Master Ruan, and it may even be the same thing.

Before Shen Jiangtao met Jizhen, he would not believe Master Ruan's words. Now it seems that he is somewhat convinced.

According to Master Ruan's instructions, Chen Jiangtao stood behind the head of Mr. Li Dahong's body, while Li Wei stood in the sun, at Li Dahong's waist. Finally, Miss Li stood behind the old man's feet. The three of them stood in their respective positions. Master Ruan carefully checked the positions of several people, took a deep breath and shouted: "Embed!"

Following Master Ruan's instructions, Li Wei passed a ball of jute through the body under Mr. Li. After Master Ruan's order, Chen Jiangtao, Li Wei, and Miss Li tried their best to lift the body of Mr. Li together, and then moved the body parallel to the mouth of the coffin.

Seeing this situation, a thought flashed through Chen Jiangtao's mind, and his face changed slightly. He was about to speak, but now he could not make any mistakes in his head and feet, so he swallowed the words to his mouth.

"Into the coffin!"

Hearing the instructions, the three of them slowly placed the body into the coffin.

As soon as he put the body down, Li Wei suddenly staggered, and his face turned pale. Fortunately, Li Wei held the coffin with one hand and supported his body. After he calmed down for a while, he slowly recovered.

Then, Li Wei took the sack containing the old man's nails and half a piece of wooden comb from Master Ruan, and gently placed it next to the body. Then he took a stack of gold paper and a stack of silver paper under the left and right feet of the body. Then he put a white and red in the middle, and there were a lot of silver paper inside, and the edges and corner pillows of dog hair and chicken feathers under his head.
