Chapter 8
One day, I was holding Liuding Liujia and studying it at home, when Lao Wang walked in and said, "Nine children, there is life!"

Hearing this sentence, I didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, so I replied lightly, "Young people? Or old people?"

This is the rule of our Eight Immortals. No matter what kind of coffin we carry, we must first know who the deceased is. The old have the price of the old, and the young have the price of the young.

He said: "The old man, who has just passed his birthday, is 87 years old this year. The master wants to invite us to carry the coffin, but another group of fake immortals are vying for business."

The so-called "false immortals" means that the villagers of the deceased did not belong to the industry of the Eight Immortals. They only carried some old people who had returned to bed. When they met young people and people who died abnormally, they would avoid them. Once you meet someone who is returning to bed, you want to get a piece of the action.

Since the rise of the profession of the Eight Immortals, there have been constant disputes between the fake immortals and us. The fake immortals say that we are hypocrites who love to pretend to be fake, and those who carry the coffin have to wear a high hat and call themselves the Eight Immortals.We scold fake immortals for being ignorant, and ordinary people insist on participating in the affairs of the Eight Immortals. In order to earn some foreign money, they insist on making the dead feel uneasy after death.

Later, for the sake of 'business', the fake immortals and the Eight Immortals often fought. In Hengyang, it was even reported in the news. In the end, the police station gave us a death order. Whoever will carry the coffin has the final say, and who dares to If there is trouble, close the account.

Even so, the conflicts between us and the fake immortals are still constant. Although there are no large-scale fights, it is a common thing to talk about it, and it is our Eight Immortals who suffer.The reason is that we are from other villages, and the fake fairies are generally from the same village, and their wives are even more fierce. They won’t let us go if they catch us and don’t scold us for peeling off. Very few women who are particularly naughty will even chase us to our house. Scolding, scolding from the eighteen generations of the ancestors to the generation of the grandson.

This is no wonder for them. After all, there are too few ways to make money in the countryside. Apart from occasionally building a new house to help make some money, they just rely on carrying coffins to make some money. Difference.

I had no source of income for half a month, and finally came to the business, but someone came to snatch it. I made up my mind immediately, followed Lao Wang, and went out with Lao Wang. I spent 30 yuan to invite Widow Liu, the most violent woman in our village, to let her come out. She went with us, Lao Wang scolded me, "Jiu Yazi, you are too spoiled."

Speaking of Widow Liu, her real name is Liu Qingxiu, she is 37 or [-] years old, her head is covered with white hair, her whole body is white, and even her eyes are a little white. Some people say she is a foreigner, while others say she is a yin person. , is actually a kind of albinism in medicine, not the kind they say.

She is well-known around our village, from an 80-year-old man to a six-year-old child, no one is not afraid of her, as long as she stands there, the other party will be timid, definitely not because of her appearance, It's that her mouth is too venomous, to what extent, let me tell you, her husband just couldn't stand being scolded by her, hanged himself, and was nicknamed a sly woman.

I took Lao Wang and Widow Liu to the village of the deceased. On the way, Lao Wang told me that the deceased belonged to Li Village. His name was Li Huoda. He had been ill for several years. The ancestors embraced him.

Originally, Pharaoh wanted to call the other Eight Immortals over, but I said a word to him, and Pharaoh dismissed the idea. I said, "Are a dozen men worth her?" Widow Liu, Lao Wang repeatedly nodded and said yes.

When we arrived at Li Village, before we even entered the village, we were stopped by several women who scolded: "One-eyed dragon, you little loach, what kind of widow did you come to our village for? I'm not afraid that your wife will let you Are you kneeling on the washboard?"

They ignored me directly, and I was secretly delighted, but I didn't know that the bastard, Old Wang, actually bullied me. He said: "I'm messing with Jiu Yazi now, so I have something to tell him." After finishing speaking, the bastard even gave me a special wink blinked.

If it wasn't for the sake of him bringing me into the industry, I would really want to slap him. I said I was cunt earlier, this bastard is more cunt than me.

"Well...several aunts, talk to them if you have something to say!" I smiled politely at them. As the saying goes, if you stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face, I think it can be resolved peacefully. Folks, if you don't look up and see you when you look down, you will be embarrassed when you meet in the future.

"You cowardly child, you didn't go to Guangzhou to find a job at a young age, and you even got involved in the coffin-carrying business. You're not afraid that you won't be able to marry a wife in the future. Besides, in this line of work, are you worthy of the parents who gave birth to you and raised you? Your parents raised you You are so old, you are the one to carry the coffin?" an older shrew scolded.

As soon as I was a scholar, I didn't care about these shrews, so I gave Widow Liu a wink and said, "Aunt Liu, if you win the scolding, I will give you an extra salary of ten yuan."

"Okay, Jiu Yazi, Aunt Liu saw you right!" Widow Liu came out from behind me.

I have never seen a person's lethality be so great. The moment those women saw Widow Liu, they were startled at first, then retreated a few steps involuntarily, and then they were as if they had seen a ghost. Shouted: "The white-mouthed woman is here!" After finishing speaking, the fire dispersed.

The shadow of a tree, the name of a person, this is the "charm" of Widow Liu, can it be compared with ordinary women?Unless they are tired of work, they will scold Widow Liu.

I shrugged helplessly, and stuffed 40 yuan into Widow Liu, and she said: "Jiuzi, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you can find your aunt. Invincible."

"Okay!" I nodded, and let Widow Liu go back first, and walked to the village with Lao Wang.

It may be that those women told the story of Widow Liu, and we came to the deceased's home without any further resistance.

We were greeted by a middle-aged man with a square face and a bench head, dressed in hemp and mourning. When he saw the two of us, he was a little excited and said: "Old Wang, we met once, you must handle my old man well." funeral."

"Definitely, definitely!" Old Wang nodded.

The middle-aged man invited the two of us in, made us a pot of tea, and said, "Old Wang, you know the situation of my family. The three brothers are all farming at home and have no source of income. I want to take care of this funeral. Let you Eight Immortals come to hold it! In terms of price, I hope you can give me a discount!"

The old Wang only knew how to carry the coffin, and didn't know anything else, so he looked at me and asked, "Jiu Yazi, the old scholar praised you for having immortal roots, do you have the ability to continue?"

"All?" I asked from the side.

Before Old Wang could speak, the middle-aged man glanced at me with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "That's right, little brother, do you have this ability?"

As soon as I heard it, I was puzzled, how could I be so famous?You must know that for general funerals, the host family will invite some elderly 'experts', such a young boy, not to mention doing funerals, even if he carries the coffin, he will be disliked by others. Why didn't the host family dislike me?
