Chapter 10 Liang Xin ~ Conscience Liang Bo ~ Liang Bo Soon the Liang Family Courtyard arrived.
This is a dilapidated wooden house that looks dilapidated and full of is a wooden fence on the outside of the gate used to welcome guests in front of the wall can be seen that it has withstood the baptism of time. It just starts to "squeak" and sway when the wind blows.
I guess even if someone said that this place had been abandoned for three to five years, no one would doubt it...
Looking at such a house, Wu He and other members of the Wu family class couldn't help but wonder. Can someone who lives in such a house really afford nine taels of silver? As if seeing the doubts of his children, Wu He's grandfather Wu Sheng shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, that boy Liang has already shown me his ability that day. That boy is indeed rich now. According to what he said, he went out to do business, and when he came back, he did find that his father was dead at home."
"This is why I want to give my father a grand burial. When he was alive, his father didn't enjoy any good treatment. After he died, he wanted to listen to opera and live a more peaceful life..."
What the old man said was to explain to Wu He and the others, and to comfort himself.
After all, the scene in front of him is full of weirdness. Even he has experienced strong winds and waves, so he can't help but feel a little doubtful when facing such a scene...
But they couldn't give up such a good business for the sake of livelihood. He could only suppress his thoughts and stretched out his hand to signal Wu He to knock on the door.
Reaching out to knock on the door, Wu He was also very careful, fearing that the door in front of him would be smashed away with just one force...
Fortunately, it had been prepared in advance. Wu He just stepped forward and knocked on the door. Before he knocked a few times, the wooden door in front of him was so loose that it seemed that it could fall down in the wind. It suddenly opened, revealing one of them with a slightly gloomy face. The figure wearing sackcloth and mourning...
This is a man about 22-[-] years old, whom Wu He has met before, named Liang Bo.
The meaning of Liang Bo's name is erudition, and Wu He had heard the origin of the other party's name before.
That was because his father, Liang Xin, had three golds in his life, but lacked gold in his life. His father, Liang Xin, did not want his children to be as hopeless as himself, and if a scholar was promising, he would ask a fortune teller to give him such a name.
Of course, these are just rumors. I am afraid only the father and son know the true intentions...
"Liang Bo~Liang Bo, Liang Xin~conscience, what a good name..."
Thinking secretly in his heart, Wu He took a step back, directly revealing his grandfather Wu Shen.
Wu Sheng also took advantage of the situation and stepped forward directly, catching Liang Bo's gaze.
Unlike people in other professions, Wu Shen did not have a service creed with a smile. He had a business-like look and said directly:
"Liang Jialang, we are here, I don't know when..."
Since Lincheng Village is really not close to Sangzhong Town, it is very difficult to grasp the time [-]%.Therefore, it was discussed during the initial discussion that the specific funeral time should be determined based on the arrival time of their team.
Facing the inquiry from Wu He's grandfather Wu Shen, Liang Bo on the opposite side did not hesitate at all. He nodded and welcomed everyone into the courtyard, revealing a coffin suspended in mid-air by a wooden frame.
The moment he saw the coffin, Wu He's grandfather Wu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit traveling in the world for so many years and handling so many funerals, old man Wu Sheng has no other skills. He is very good at judging the quality of coffins.
Just by looking at it, Wu Sheng could tell that the coffin was definitely made of fine sandalwood.
The price of the wood for this coffin alone is probably quite high. It is absolutely impossible to buy it for just three to five taels or even more silver.
This money is enough to buy an acre of fertile land or hire a few tenant farmers to become a small landowner. Spending such a large price to buy a coffin, then it seems that I am filial and want my old father who has suffered all his life to enjoy happiness. lie.
Wu Shen, who had been worried about this, felt relieved when he thought of this, and stepped forward to talk to Liang Bo about the follow-up funeral matters...
At this time, Wu He continued to look at the coffin in front of him. This coffin looked quite high-end. Both the use of wood and the processing of the coffin were quite precise.
But for Wu He, a person who has been exposed to this matter all year round, he did feel that something was not quite right.
This coffin seems to have something extra...
At the same time, some of the details looked a little weird. In short, they were a little different from what Wu He had seen at home in the this moment, a hand gently patted Wu He's side, making him tremble all over.
Wu He turned around and saw Wu Yan standing on his left side, looking at him with a Wu He could reach out to teach him a lesson, he put a hand on the other side of his waist, making him tremble again.
This time it’s Wu Yu…
Looking at the two brothers Wu Yan and Wu Yu in front of him, Wu He was really before he could say anything, Wu Yan and Wu Yu in front of him raised a finger to him almost at the same time.
"Shh~"
Then the two of them seemed to be in sync, and at the same time they stretched out their thumbs to point to the coffin on the side. Then the two of them took two steps closer again and pointed to a position on the coffin to Wu He.
Wu He also shut up and looked intently, and then saw the tightly sealed is actually an inconspicuous gap.
Wu He suddenly understood what the incongruity felt before.
Yes, the coffins I saw in the past were not made of bad wood. There were some gaps in the coffins themselves, or they were made of good coffins that were smooth and smooth as a on such a good coffin, there was such an omission and such a huge incongruous texture. No wonder he felt that something was not right.
Almost instantly, Wu He's first reaction was - Liang Bo was cheated...
But then he shook his head and dismissed the reason is that the crack is too smooth. Compared with the flaw, it is more like it has been completely chiseled out.
But isn’t the function of the coffin to prevent the body from getting damp underground and causing rapid decay, so that the body and the coffin can remain as intact as possible?If such a big gap is made, the coffin will lose any sealing properties.
If the corpse is placed in a coffin without airtightness, the decomposition speed of the corpse will not be much different from that of the corpse exposed in the wilderness. If so, what is the point of spending so much effort to buy such good wood?
Wu Yan and Wu Yu obviously had the same doubts, but compared to Wu He's caution, the two of them were relatively restless.
Looking at the two of them from a distance, they felt a little unreal, so they wanted to step forward and take a closer look...
But before the two of them stepped forward, Wu He felt a chill in his back, and stretched out his hand to grab the two Wu He quickly turned around, and then saw Liang Bo appearing behind him at some point, looking at the three of them with long eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Liang Bo is not tall, only about meters tall, which is half a head lower than Wu He. But I don’t know what he has experienced in the past three years. He has a strange sinister aura all over his body, which is inexplicable. Wu He's scalp felt numb when he saw it.
And for some reason, this guy walked silently. He had already walked behind Wu He, but he didn't feel anything until just now...
It can be said that Wu He was also shocked by the other party. For a moment, his brain was unable to react, and he was stunned in place, unable to say a word.
Wu He was frightened, and Wu Yan and Wu He were naturally not much , Wu Yan still subconsciously protected Wu Yu behind him, and Wu He also put his arms in front of the two of them...
Fortunately, the rescuers soon appeared...
That was Wu He's second uncle. Although he didn't know what happened just now, looking at the awkward atmosphere, he waved his hands and interrupted in front of a few people: "Sorry, the Liang family's children are naughty and have caused trouble for you..."
In response to this, Liang Bo's expression changed 180 degrees almost instantly, and he said with a harmless expression:
"It's nothing. It's a good thing if the child is more active. He's full of energy, isn't he..."
There was no flaw in Liang Bo's previous words, but at the end of his speech, he cast a sidelong glance at Wu He and the other two people standing next to the coffin. His voice was slightly drawn out, and there was a breath that made people feel scalp numb. It hit Wu He's face, making Wu He's face turn a little blue...
