After the ancestors fell

Chapter 7 Funerals
Dr. Lin is a really good person. These days he has helped the sisters a lot and done a lot of things.

Mrs. Mu died suddenly, and according to the laws of the Great Zhou, it had to be reported to the government, and could only be encoffined after inspection.It's just that the two sisters are too young to know anything about these things.

Doctor Lin asked the pharmacist to lead the sisters to report to the town, and reminded them to prepare the coffin for the dead as soon as possible.

There is a coffin shop in the town. People in the world believe in ghosts and gods. The coffin shop is considered an ominous place. The guy is timid and refuses to go no matter what.

The owner of the coffin shop didn't seem surprised when he saw Mu Qingfeng, a child, coming to buy a coffin. Life is hard these days, and death is nothing.

He was worried that Mu Qingfeng had no money, so he asked her to show him the money to make sure that she really had the money to buy the coffin.Only then did he collect the deposit, and promised to send someone to send the coffin to Muguiyuan after the coffin was made the next day.

Twilight Garden

The government sent two servants, they looked around and found that the doors and windows were damaged by external forces, and the blood in the room was probably Mu Qingfeng's blood alone.

Mu's clothes are intact, and there is no wound on his body, as if his soul was taken away in his sleep.Wu Tan, who came to check, was puzzled, but there were no more clues.

Although it is winter and the weather is cold, Mu's body cannot be kept for a long time.Dr. Lin persuaded the two sisters to let Mrs. Mu die as soon as possible.

There are some things that Dr. Lin can't take care of alone without the help of elders. The two sisters are young and don't understand many things, so Mu's funeral is very simple.

The two sisters were wearing filial piety clothes, followed Mu's coffin, and scattered paper money all the way.

The coffin was carried by two middle-aged men, who were found by the coffin shop owner with the help of two nuns.

Because of the strangeness of Mu's death, according to the rules, Buddhists need to recite the Sutra of Rebirth before they can be buried in the earth to eliminate the karma in this life.

They don't have much money, and many customs and procedures can only be simplified. The funeral attendants saw that the host's family was just two helpless little girls, and they couldn't help but feel alive. In the end, thanks to Dr. Lin who came to express their condolences, they let them Be more restrained.

Dr. Lin has some prestige in the town, he didn't say anything, just glanced at it, and the funeral director suppressed his small thoughts.

There are also some people who care about the current owner of the house—Shen Hanlin from the capital.

Although Mu's reputation is flawed, the biological father of the two children is said to be unknown, but it is only unknown, otherwise why would they be allowed to live in such a big house?

Even so, the funeral was still stumbling.At this time, the coffin had just been lifted to the middle of the mountain, and the coffin bearer stopped, unwilling to continue going up.They ask for money, and they won't leave if they don't give it. They also say that this is the rule.

The two little girls have never experienced it before, so they don't know whether this rule is true or not.The two nuns looked away, obviously not planning to join forces.

Mu Hongfei planned to give half of the money, but was stopped by Mu Qingfeng, "You two uncles, we don't understand the rules. Mother carried it to the mountain. I heard people say that credibility is the key to doing business. If you don’t go, you will not keep your credibility. At that time, not only will you not get a copper coin, but I will tell the people in the town that you do business. Things are unreliable!"

While saying these words, Mu Qingfeng put her hand into the cloth bag she carried with her. Inside was a very sharp dagger. This dagger made her straighten her spine and stared directly at the two tall and strong men.

Those two men may not have any malicious intentions if they really say it, they just think they have something to gain.

These two children are not very old, and they are still two girls.They despise them in their hearts and bully them for being ignorant. As for the rules of begging for money in the middle of the mountain, there are indeed rules, but they are all given as a token of a few copper coins, not real wages.

But I didn't expect that Yatou Pianzi was young but not confused, and she threatened and lured the two men immediately, but they didn't dare to really do the thing of leaving the coffin in the middle of the way.

They are all poor families with little land. They rely on carrying coffins and doing odd jobs to make ends meet.If such a thing is really spread, no matter whether it is true or not, I am afraid that no one will hire the two of them to work in the future.What's more, there are two nuns here.

In this way, with dark faces, the two men finally carried the coffin to the destination.

When they arrived at the place, the two began to ask for money again, and were forced to put the coffin into the grave again, which was their job in the first place.

The two men seemed to have suffered a big loss.It was said inside and out that the two little girls were mean and unrighteous, and their hearts were vicious at a young age, the more they said, the more they went too far.

Mu Hongfei and Mu Qingfeng didn't want to cause trouble when their mother was buried, so they could only endure it, but they saw that the two talked too much, and even ignored the taboo of burying the coffin, the dust was flying, and there was no way.They didn't want Mu's tomb to be treated like this, and they didn't want to argue with them anymore.

Mu Hongfei took out the agreed salary and gave it to the two of them.

"This is wages, you go."

The two took the money and got the right amount, which was exactly the same.There was a look of disgust on his face.At first, they thought that they were just two girls, and they would flicker casually, frighten and frighten them, and they would get a few more copper coins.But I didn't want to be a hard stubble.

Although they said the same thing, if they were in another family, they would definitely be assigned more tasks by the host family and use more energy.But that's another family, and now there are only two children in this family, and no one makes decisions for them.

Seeing that the two people continued to talk after taking the money, from their behavior, I knew it would not be a good word.

Mu Qingfeng didn't want to hear their bad words anymore, and threatened them, "Uncle, let's build up some morals. If you do things like this, how many family members will still be willing to ask you to do things if it spreads?"

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at them, and together with his sister, buried his mother's coffin with soil.

Qingfeng's heart vomited blood, these people insulted her so much, damn it.

She wants power!

Kill with strength!
Kill these villains!
Suddenly, feeling a burst of warmth on the back of her hand, Qing Feng raised her head subconsciously and bumped into her sister's eyes.

She twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to smile, but failed, but the mania in her heart miraculously calmed down.

The two children held each other's hands and worshiped in front of their mother's grave.Next to my ears is the nun's rhythmic chanting.

In the morning and evening, the sound of bells and drums came from the temples at the foot of the mountain, and the wings flew to the sky in the mountains and forests.

The two nuns saluted and bid farewell to the sisters.In their eyes, what happened to the two children was as common as weeds in the mountains.

Welcome and send, who is not a poor person.

"The patterns on this handkerchief are ordinary, but the stitches are interesting. Unfortunately, the stitches are rough. If you practice for a few more years, you might be able to get a higher grade. Now, for your mother's sake, I'll give you thirty coins."

In the embroidery workshop, the proprietress, who was dressed richly and exquisitely made up, was picking and choosing from the few pieces on the table, disgusted and kind.

Mu's embroidery skills are exquisite, the proprietress of the handkerchief she embroiders asks for [-] Wen, and then sells it elsewhere for dozens of times.

Mu Hongfei has a good talent in embroidery, but it's a pity that she only studied for a short time, and the real practice time is only half a year.

As for Mu Qingfeng, after Mu's death, she calmed down and started embroidering handkerchiefs with her sister.In order to make a living, the two children may have to inherit this craft at present.

The proprietress picked out two better ones in distaste, "There can't be more than ten."

Ten Wen, Qiang Qiang is enough for silk thread and materials.

Qingfeng was discouraged, and decided not to waste time on this in the future.

Rice is ten cents a catty, brown rice is eight cents a catty, and millet is five cents a catty.Wheat is the grain in the north, and it is twice as expensive as rice here.The cheapest is bran, which costs two catties for one penny. Most people buy it to feed their livestock.Ordinary people eat a lot of millet, and occasionally buy some brown rice to mix in the millet.
