Chapter 104: Honor in troubled times 72
"Where are the men at home?"
An Ning asked Zhao.
Zhao pointed outside: "Of course I went to buy clothes and coffins. We didn't have anything on our hands, so how can we clean and change the clothes for our mother?"
An Ning looked at Zhao, narrowed his eyes slightly and kicked her: "Let's wait."
She came out of the inner room and said to Xiao Song a few times: "Go and put away all the red objects in the courtyard and in each room. In addition, hang some white cloth in the courtyard and white banners outside the door."
After listening to An Ning's instructions, these children quickly took action.
An Ning said to Wei again: "Go and call the children from your two rooms over. Their grandmother is gone, and none of them can come to guard them. What does it look like?"
Seeing that Zhao was beaten, Wei did not dare to argue with An Ning at this moment. He got up and went to find the children from the big house and the second house.
In a moment, Wei brought Xiao En, Xiao Hui, Xiao Ming, Xiao Jin and Xiao Han in.
Xiao Yuan looked at the children, and the children were so scared that they shrank their heads and hands, just like quails.
"Go on your knees inside."
Xiao Yuan pointed to the inner room.
But although these five children were afraid, they did not enter the inner room.
Xiao En boldly said, "Uncle San, we are afraid, we dare not go in."
Xiao Yuan turned cold and said, "Then let's kneel here."
The five children knelt down, and Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling rushed over.
As soon as they arrived, they were full of manpower. The old man also said: "The third brother, the fourth brother, why do you say... she has raised you and let her leave with a decent amount."
He said something with a little begging.
Xiao Yuan saw that the wrinkles on the old man's face increased significantly and his hair almost turned white. It can be seen that his life was not easy during this period.
"Um."
Xiao Yuan nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan agreed, Xiao Jin nodded to the old man and asked Xiao Yuan softly: "Where is the boss and the second brother?"
Xiao Yuan whispered: "I've gone to buy a coffin and a shroud."
Yes, the old lady was too anxious to go there, and there was no preparation at home, so she couldn't buy them all.
While they were talking, Xiao Jue and Xiao Su bought a coffin and a shroud.
Seeing Xiao Yuan and others coming, Xiao Jue ignored it, and Xiao Su's eyes were not eyes, noses were not noses.
Xiao Yuan glanced at him: "Where is Lao Wu?"
Xiao Jue pointed at Lan Siniang and said, "Ask her."
Lan Siniang said: "The fifth master has drunk wine and is still drunk now. He can't wake up no matter how he shouts."
"It's really good."
Xiao Jin couldn't help but sneer.
Xiao Yuan said to the guards who followed him in: "Go and carry the fifth master over and prepare a bucket of cold water."
Soon, the two guards carried Xiao Fang, who was drunk and put it on the ground. Xiao Yuan took the cold water and poured it on him.
After this, Xiao Fang finally woke up.
"What are you doing, what are you doing."
Xiao Fang sat up suddenly and wiped the water from his face: "Who sneak attacks me? I'll be dead. Come on, take it out and sell it."
Xiao Yuan kicked over and said, "Who do you call me? Who do you want to sell?"
Xiao Fang saw Xiao Yuan and when he saw Xiao Yuan, his mouth turned flat and he started crying: "Third brother, third brother, you have to make the decision for me. Help me find Jin and my son. Where did they go? I can't find him."
Xiao Yuanhei had a calm face: "You still have the face to cry. You, a big man, can't even see your wife and children. Howling with me now, get up quickly."
Xiao Fang didn't dare to resist, so he could only cry while getting up.
He stood up and looked around and saw the people in the room and said, "What's wrong? Why are you all here?"
Xiao Jin was so angry that he shaved his hands and shaved directly: "Why are we here? You are drunk in the house and don't know the people. You don't know if the old lady is gone, you say..."
"The old lady is gone?"
Xiao Fang didn't believe it: "Speak nonsense, why did the old lady look like she is so strong?"
This time, even Xiao Jue couldn't help but kick Xiao Fang.
When Xiao Fang saw this posture, he knew that the old lady must be gone.
He didn't know how to react for a while.
If you want to be sad, there is absolutely nothing.
After all, the old lady is not his biological mother. Even on the way to Nanyi, his biological mother was still missing because the old lady was gone. He hated the old lady in his heart. He should be happy when the old lady went there.
But he didn't dare to be happy in front of such people.
Xiao Fang squatted down and covered his face: "Why is it gone, why is it gone?"
He just thunderstorms and doesn't rain, but he just pretends to behave anyway.
"Clean up the wake quickly."
Xiao Yuan whispered and went to see the coffin with Xiao Jue.
The old man was a little worried and followed him to see the coffin and shroud.
When the group saw the coffin he bought, the old man couldn't help but hold Xiao Jue and Xiao Su and slapped him several times.
"What a filial son, what a good son."
The old man looked at the coffin placed in the wing room and tears were flowing.
The coffin that Xiao Jue bought was made of thin wooden boards, and there was nothing like carved red paint. It looked very simple, and it was fine. The coffin was still small, and I don’t know if it was made by an apprentice, but it looked shorter than normal.
The old lady is not short either. If she puts such a coffin in, it will not be able to stretch it out. If she wants to put it down, she has to bend her legs.
You should know that it is not just a person in the coffin. It has to stuff things on the head and feet to prevent people from encountering people inside when carrying the coffin. Another thing is to bury the things that the old man liked during his lifetime.
But even the old lady's people couldn't fit in the coffin, let alone anything else.
The old man was so angry that he shivered when he saw such a small coffin: "You two, these are your mothers, do you hate her so much? They are dead, and they don't want her to live in peace. People often say that wearing small shoes, you are even more cruel than wearing small shoes."
Xiao Yuan turned around the coffin and said with a gloomy face: "Old man, this coffin cannot be used."
"Of course it cannot be used, it must not be used."
The old man waved his hand: "Buy again, hurry up and buy again."
Xiao Yuan helped him: "It's not just a small reason, this coffin is made of locust wood."
As soon as he said this, the old man really couldn't stand it anymore.
If Xiao Yuan hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Locust wood, also known as ghost wood, is the material that cannot be used as coffins. Anyway, if it is passed down from old age, if the coffin of locust wood is used, the deceased will not be able to live in peace.
"What kind of evil did I do?"
The old man cried and fainted.
Xiao Yuan quickly asked Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling to help the old man lie down in another room.
He turned his head and looked at Xiao Jue: "Brother, what's going on with this coffin?"
Xiao Jue blushed so badly: "I don't know either, I don't know that this is Huai Mu's."
"Is this just a matter of Huai Wood?" Xiao Yuan was really cold to Xiao Jue: "You can't see any material, can't you tell whether it's long or small? What are you doing with your eyes? Are you venting your anger?"
Xiao Jue couldn't even say a word that Xiao Yuan had to confront him.
Xiao Jin also came here now.
He looked at Xiao Jue and was also very angry: "Brother, you are so good. The old lady is gone. Can't you let her go with a little more glamorous?"
Xiao Jue lowered his head: "You are all talking lightly. If you want her to leave, you can pay for it. Anyway, I have no money."
Xiao Su took a few steps back and waved his hands repeatedly: "I have no money, and the old lady has given all the things hidden by the elder brother, and I'm not at all."
