Coffin of the Nether World - C95
I asked Master why he wanted to go to him. Master smiled but didn’t say anything.
I knew why, or if I had to find out for myself. But I feel that the matter regarding the Yin Eye is not that simple. Otherwise, Master would not be so secretive.
As for Zhang Kefan, I am still not planning to bring her along. Although she has said that she wants to go with me to play, I still know what kind of place she is at. I haven’t been home for the past few years, and will bring a girl back the moment I get home.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I decided to prepare to go back myself and let Zhang Kefan play by herself. She seemed to be able to chat with Dongmei really well anyway, and since her master and Big Sister Xiaowen were both at this side, she wouldn’t starve to death.
I called my father when I got back, told him I was going to be stuck here for two days, and then went back to live.
My father’s voice trembled slightly. “It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back.”
I know my dad really wanted me to go back quickly, but because I have to go through Lotus Village first when I go home, I couldn’t possibly not go and take a look at my master and big sister Xiaowen, so I simply stayed for two days before going home.
Because of the influence of the Lotus Village, He Family Village was no longer that He Family Village from back then. Instead, he very much wanted to cultivate Lotus Village for a few years, simply speaking like the Lotus Village was always at the forefront, followed closely by the He Family Village.
After all these years, He Family Village’s new house was already built without anyone noticing, and we walked back to our home, which was still the same as before, but I didn’t care about that either. Now, my father can be considered my biggest wish, and as for the living conditions of the house, I’m not a child either.
On the way back, although the house was shabby, it was clean. It was clear that my father had cleaned it up in advance.
The house was also equipped with television. I found it very hot, and only started when the sun began to slant at five o’clock, and it was almost six o’clock when we got there, and I saw him just about ready to go out with his hoe on his shoulder.
It was currently the best time of the summer, neither hot nor cold. Most people would choose to do some odd jobs here and there. As for dinner, even if it was in the countryside, eight or nine o’clock was still a common occurrence.
He started when I came back, then turned to go back inside.
“Dad, wait!” I immediately called out to him and ran into the house to put down the things I had bought for him. I found a hoe and hoed it over my shoulder before coming out again. I grinned at him and said, “It’s fine. Let’s go together. I haven’t gone down to the ground in many years.”
My father nodded, not insisting that I should not go.
“How long have you been gone?” my father asked me.
I told him that I was about to go to college now and would have to rest for three months. If nothing went wrong, I might as well stay home for a while longer.
I wanted to go to work for the summer, but for some reason I couldn’t bring myself to say that I was going to leave after a few days when I saw my father.
“Hello, university student!” Nice to meet you, university student! ” I noticed a smile on my father’s face, and I knew he was proud of it.
Now that the communication had developed, information from the outside world could also be transmitted in slowly. Thus, everyone now knew what a university student was, in the rural areas, or at least in He Family Village, without any difference in specialty. As long as there was a university student, it would be a very honorable thing for them to walk with their heads held high.
I don’t know if it was because I hadn’t been working on the ground for a long time, but I was tired after a few swings with the hoe, but my father smiled and told me that if I was tired I would just sit down and rest for a while.
Of course, I didn’t slap my face in front of my father to make him look fat, so when I said “Yes,” I put my hoe under my butt and sat down to talk to my father.
At this moment, he suddenly received a message from his pocket, “The boundless horizon is my love …” Then, I took out the phone that I gave him for a few years’ money. “Hey!” He made a sound.
This music gave me a big fright. I didn’t expect that my father would be so popular that he would even know about the music for dancing in the plaza of the Huaxia.
After hanging up, my father told me that my second uncle’s family had called him to his house for dinner. I said, “I’ll listen to you.”
Speaking of which, Second Uncle’s family that I played with often when I was young is also really not seen for how many years it is. I don’t know if he’s still in He Family Village, so I asked my father when I thought of me.
My dad told me that Second Uncle’s relationship with his relatives in Lucheng had made Ergou go to school in the city. It seemed that next year’s college entrance exam was going to be held.
I finally understood that Ergou was a generation younger than me.
However, all of these were useless. When I went to Second Uncle’s house tonight, Second Uncle and Second Aunt looked at me as if they were looking at a new customer, it was really strange.
Second Aunt asked me if I had a partner. No need for me to introduce you …
After returning from my second uncle’s house, I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry when my father asked me this question. I could only vaguely say that there was one, and I hadn’t been with him for long, but I didn’t know what I would look like in the future.
“Is it a girl from the city?”
I said yes.
“Treat him well.”
Although my father didn’t say much, I also felt that he seemed to be happier. This made me speechless.
After I came back, I was in no hurry to leave. I walked around the village, and when I got up the next day, the sun was already shining so bright that people couldn’t even open their eyes.
After informing my father about it, I started to walk around the village, and then conveniently walked towards Lame Zhao’s coffin.
Along the way, there were actually new houses everywhere. I found out that it seemed like our family didn’t build one, and knew that I had seen Lame Zhao’s house, then I knew that it was two families that didn’t build one.
I remember when I was young, my goal was to knock on the door of Lame Zhao’s house. However, every time I was scared to the point of peeing before I even got close.
So up till now, I have not really knocked on the Lame Zhao’s door.
It was very cold and lonely. Because they had eaten half a bowl of Underworld Rice and Lame Zhao’s house was at the edge of the village, no one came to this place normally.
There is even a mulberry tree planted at the side of the courtyard, which I don’t understand. Since Lame Zhao sells coffins, then he must be a craftsman, most likely a carpenter.
But if it was a carpenter, how could he not even know that “there is no mulberry in front of the door and no willow behind the house”?
Sang and Sang are the same tone, if planted in front of the gate it would be tantamount to “mourning” meaning, very unlucky, so all the classes know about it.
The willow tree was originally a Yin Gathering Tree, so it was easy to gather Yin spirits. Coupled with the length of the branches, the sound of wind blowing would be very strange, causing people to be afraid.
That’s why the phrase “no mulberry in front of the door, no willow behind the house” was used.
Whether it was luck or anger, he would always be a bit weaker than normal people. Then, he should have placed more yang energy like “laurel” in front of the house, or something that would have a good meaning. Oh, this Lame Zhao was making a ruckus!
According to seniority, not to mention that this Lame Zhao is still my grandfather, I would have to call him Grandpa Zhao even if I met him.
Walking up to the door, I noticed that there were two “Pi Xiu” carved on top of some of the wooden doors that had returned to the past.
The nine sons of the dragon and nine sons were all different. Pi Xiu was one of them, and its moral was to ward off evil and seek wealth. This was very normal, but didn’t this contradict the mark of the mulberry tree in front of the door? Or was Sang Zhu originally from the village?
What exactly is Lame Zhao doing?! As a carpenter, it was impossible for him to not know these things!
I was a little confused by the Lame Zhao, but Master said that “experts are in the people” was not just for fun, he was referring to the powerful craftsmen in the people, perhaps there was some hidden meaning that I did not know of.
Just as I thought about knocking on the door, it opened, and I saw Lame Zhao holding vermillion paint, sitting on a chair and constantly brushing over a coffin.
