My master is invincible

Chapter 595 Wind Burial (14)

Hearing the sound, I turned my head and looked towards the place where the sound came from. There was a man who looked like a beggar standing at the door, with unkempt hair and a strange smell all over his body.

However, after seeing the man's face clearly, I was stunned. That beggar-like man was actually Lang Gao. How could he become like this?
"How did you become like this?" I walked up to him, looked at him, and asked in surprise.

He glared at me, and said: "It's not your fault, I think I'm the head of a majestic school, and I will end up here."

"What's going on?" I asked.

He gave up and said, "Don't bring up this question again, just talk about the funeral. You just said Miss Su's 4 yuan?"

I nodded and asked him what he thought.

He said: "Forty thousand is definitely not enough. You need more than one hundred thousand to handle the funeral."

I froze for a moment, and said, "An ordinary funeral is only about [-] yuan, which is quadrupled on the basis of ordinary funerals. The funeral scene should be very large, and it will cost less than [-] yuan, right?"

He shook his head and said: "Miss Su's funeral cannot be handled according to the standard of ordinary funerals. There are too many things needed. Take the coffin as an example. Her body must be protected by a high-quality sandalwood coffin, and sandalwood The coffin needs to be available in Liuzhou, and the shipping fee and coffin cost about [-]."

"Why do you want to go to Liuzhou?" I wondered.

He glared at me and said, "Fortunately, your father is still a carpenter. You don't even know about it. There is a very popular saying in China, eat in Guangzhou, wear in Suzhou, play in Hangzhou, live in Yangzhou, die in Liuzhou, the true ancestors Good coffins can only be found in Liuzhou, so Miss Su's coffin must be bought in Liuzhou."

"Liuzhou? Which province?" My knowledge of geography is very poor.

"Guangxi." Chen Tiannan interrupted.

Na Lang Gao nodded, saw the boxed lunch on my hand, he didn’t know whether he was very hungry or what was the matter, he grabbed the boxed lunch, ignoring me to start eating, and started to gobble it up, while eating, he said: "Chen Jiu, a sandalwood coffin sinks in water and is indestructible in the ground. It smells like cypresses and looks like bronze. It's still unknown whether you can buy it for [-] yuan. You'd better prepare some money."

Hearing what he said, I was taken aback for a moment, why is Lang Gao so proficient in coffins?I remember that he is also the identity of Zhike.

He seemed to see my doubts, so he said: "Don't look at me with such eyes, Qingxuanzi told me, he said, Miss Su's body must be in a sandalwood coffin."

It was Qingxuanzi again, since he cared so much about this funeral, why did he choose to leave at this time, and more importantly, when he left, he even forgot to take away his disk, and the sign for his master , also here.

"Did he say anything else?" I suppressed the doubts in my heart and asked in a deep voice.

"He said, he told me not to go to Liuzhou, saying that you are unlucky and you can't go to the northwest. Liuzhou belongs to the southwest, and it is not good for you. It is best for Chen Tiannan to buy a coffin. , One is that the kid is rich, and the other is that the kid has a hard life, and he can go anywhere."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to see the lunch box in Wang Chuyao's hand, and said, "Little girl, are you... are you hungry?"

That Wang Chuyao shook her head, without saying a word, she handed him the lunch box and said, "Is it enough, not enough, I'll buy it for you."

"Okay, buy another one, no, buy three more." He took Wang Chuyao's lunch box and said this.Because of his appetite this time, Chen Tiannan gave him a nickname, Wutong, which means eating five barrels of rice.Later, Lang Gao said that Wutong didn’t sound good, and it meant rice bucket. In desperation, Chen Tiannan called it a homonym and changed the barrel into a tube, calling it Wutong. Over time, Lang Gao’s name was replaced by Wutong.

After Wang Chuyao left, Lang Gao finished the lunch box in less than 3 minutes, and asked me for a cigarette with a look of indifference, and said, "Chen Jiu! Brother is in trouble this time. I've never had such a hard time in my life! Ma De, I haven't eaten for several days, but I'm so hungry."

I said sorry to him, and was about to speak, but he gave up and said, "Don't say sorry, this is the path I chose, even if I walk down on my knees, I won't even frown, how about that?" I will be the acquaintance of Miss Su’s funeral, and you will pay according to my salary. Let’s agree first, I must take care of my food, and I have to change my clothes.”

I gave a wry smile, he must be frightened by hunger.Actually, I really want to ask him how he's been doing these past few days, but seeing his current appearance, I guess he won't say even if I ask.He didn’t tell me until after a funeral that he was drunk. He stayed at the gate for a few days without eating or drinking. , I asked him why he didn't go out or come in.He said that there were Gu worms on the way out, and he didn't dare to come in, because he was afraid of the old witch's troubles. More importantly, he was afraid that walking in would bring me a burden, so he simply guarded the door until I let the middle He dared to walk in only when a young man went to pick him up. This is Lang Gao.

Immediately, I nodded to him and said: "I have you as a friend, I wish for it."

He smiled, asked for another cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "Chen Jiu, Chen Tiannan will take care of the coffin, and I will do the rest of the chores for you. You just need to concentrate on the funeral." Oh, by the way, Qingxuanzi asked me to tell you that Wanming Pagoda belongs to Xiangxi, and there is an unwritten rule in Xiangxi that outsiders are not allowed to occupy the land in Xiangxi. Therefore, Miss Su's funeral may not be held here. Do it, or pull it back to Hengyang, or go out of Xiangxi."

Listening to his words, I was stunned for a long time. Earlier, I considered taking Meng Ke's body back to Hengyang, but I denied it for various reasons, and now Lang Gao mentioned the regulations in Xiangxi, which made me a little embarrassed , If you don't hold a funeral here, where should you go?Even if her body is brought back to Hengyang and cannot enter the hall, it is still tantamount to having a funeral outside.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Na Lang Gao smiled, and continued: "I see that you are in a hurry, I have an idea for you. This Wanming Pagoda is a special existence in Xiangxi, and many rules in Xiangxi are not suitable here, so You can ask the villagers of Wanming Tower, as long as they agree, Miss Su's funeral can be held in this tent. However, the land for burial may need to be bought from Wanming Tower, which is a lot of money, you Better think it through."

I hummed, the Wanming Pagoda is very remote, and the land should be cheap, a few thousand yuan is enough, so I asked Lang Gao: "In your opinion, how much money does Meng Ke need for this funeral to be decent?" ?”

He waved three fingers in front of me and said, "30!"
