Chapter 5 The child's coffin is as heavy as a mountain, and the old coffin floats on the shoulders
Wang’s Coffin Store!
The door was closed, and only Su Wang, Wang Huizhong, Lin Hai and his younger generation were left.
Su Chen looked at Lin Hai and others with a look of alert expression, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, don't be so nervous. I haven't inquired about the situation of your family. I guess the reason why I knew this news."
"Guess, how did you guess?" Lin Hai looked suspicious and distrustful.
"Young man, who are you fooling? Tell me, do you know the situation in our family, so you want to blackmail us."
Lin Hai's sister next to him also spoke, while the young men glared at Su Chen. It seemed that if Su Chen answered wrong, they would rush up and beat him up.
Seeing this, Su Chen touched his nose and felt that he could not keep it in hiding. After all, his body is now unable to withstand a beating. He is an amyotrophic cervical dysfunction patient. If he gets beaten up, he might go directly to the underworld to see the old man and the others.
"I will know that these are not speculations for no reason, but are well-founded. If I guessed correctly, the coffin broke when it was about to reach the cemetery. And it was not that a certain wooden board broke, it should have broken directly from the middle of the bottom and in half."
Su Chen's words made Lin Hai and his sister look at each other. Although the situation was a little confused at that time and no one knew the specifics, according to the memories of the generals who carried the coffin later, it seemed like this was the case.
"In addition, do the generals who carry coffins find it difficult to carry coffins, at least they are heavier than the coffins they have carried in the past?"
"Okay...it seems like that."
Lin Hai recalled the chatting words of the generals who were responsible for carrying the coffin. Several of them often said this, saying that the old man's coffin was a bit heavy.
"It's a pity that none of these generals carrying coffins really know what they are. Otherwise, they would advise you not to be buried so soon."
Su Chen sighed, saw everyone's confusion expression, and explained: "If you are a general who knows how to carry the coffin, you will know a jargon: The child's coffin is as heavy as a mountain, and the old coffin floats on the shoulders."
In China, the profession of eating the dead is passed down from generation to generation. Every line has rules for each line. Those who know the profession will know some taboos that cannot be violated and how to crack them. People who don’t know the profession will simply put in their efforts to make some money and eat and drink.
The reason why the person carrying the coffin is called a general is very simple. Not everyone can be a coffin carryr. In the past, the coffin carryr had to be strictly selected. First of all, he had to be strong and hard, and he could be suppressed. This coffin is a place where dead people live, but in ancient times, there were many lonely ghosts in the mountains and fields. When these lonely ghosts saw the coffin and cemetery, they naturally wanted to take it for themselves. At this time, they needed the hard-to-be-bearing coffin carryr to shock them.
Therefore, this general does not refer to the general in the world, but to the hard-working person who has the power to shock ghosts.
"What are you talking about?" A young man from the Lin family couldn't help but ask.
"I heard my dad say this when he was chatting with his friend, but I don't know what it means."
Wang Huizhong, who was standing on Su Chen's side, spoke at this time. Because of what Su Chen said, he had heard his father talk about when he was chatting with a coffin carryr.
"The meaning of this sentence is very simple. It means that when carrying a coffin, if it is a child's coffin, it will be very heavy when lifted, but the coffin of an elderly person will be much lighter."
Su Chen looked at everyone, and explained without waiting for everyone to ask questions: "There is a reason for this sentence. The first reason is that the child is young. Parents are worried that the child will be bullied alone after being buried. They will put some toys from their children before their death into the coffin, and they wish they could stuff the coffin full. But because the elderly have lived long enough, there is nothing to bury with them, so the coffin is heavy, the coffin is light, and the coffin is different when they lift it."
"But this is just one reason, and there is a second reason..."
When talking about the second reason, Su Chen's mouth raised slightly, and a mysterious color appeared on his face: "I think everyone should have pulled people through walking. If a person is willing to follow us, it will be easy to pull up, but if that person is unwilling to follow us, it will be very tired to pull up, because the other party is pulling each other with us."
"What does this child's coffin have to do with the light of the old coffin?" asked the young man in the Lin family in confusion.
"Of course it's related, because the child is the one who doesn't want to go with us." Su Chen smiled slightly, and then continued: "Short long after the children came to the world, they were unwilling to leave just like this, and they were unwilling to be buried like this and then go to the underworld. They wanted to stay in the world, so it was naturally a laborious thing to lift up."
Su Chen's words made the audience silent. Lin Hai and his sisters changed their expressions. Wang Huizhong opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. However, the young people from the Lin family looked disdainful. What era is this? Some people even said such superstitious words.
"You're simply..."
"Xiaoke, shut up!"
Lin Hai interrupted the younger generation and looked at Su Chen with a much better attitude than before. He asked, "Little brother, don't know what you are doing?"
"I am a student, but the old man in my family is a village gentleman." Su Chen replied.
Hearing Su Chen's answer, Lin Hai showed such an expression on his face. He felt that the young man in front of him must have understood something, otherwise he would not have said such words.
"Little brother, even if what you said is true, my father is 83 years old this year and he is leaving peacefully. It is considered a joyful depression. Shouldn't it be lighter?"
"This is normal, but the key problem lies with your elder brother."
"What's the matter with my boss?" Lin Hai's sister asked this time.
"Your elder brother is a public official, and now the superiors are asking for cremation. You have carried the old man up the mountain and buried him. Once your elder brother's competitors know to report it to the superiors, you probably will be punished even if you are not dismissed. This is the reason why the old man is unwilling to leave."
Su Chen's words made the Lin family look at each other. When several young people from the Lin family were about to mock Su Chen for making a fuss about him here, Lin Hai's cell phone suddenly rang.
"It's the boss' phone number, I'll answer it first."
After looking at the call number, Lin Hai walked to the side with his cell phone and answered the phone. Two minutes later, Lin Hai, who hung up the phone, had a complicated expression, especially the look at Su Chen, with a sense of awe.
"Second brother, what did you say on the phone?" Lin Hai's sister asked from the side.
"Brother said that someone in his unit reported that he did not take our father to cremation. Now the investigation team is ready to investigate."
Lin Hai's answer made his sisters look at each other. Then, like Lin Hai, the eyes of these people looking at Su Chen were a bit awe, and they were really beaten by the young man in front of him.
"Brother Su... Brother Su, my eldest son works in the next city, how could my father know?" Lin Hai asked Su Wang.
Su Chen smiled and explained: "We will look back at the moment before our living people die. You have seen this situation."
Lin Hai and his sisters nodded. They had indeed seen this situation, while the young men looked confused because they had only heard of it and had not seen it in person.
"A man is in a very strange state at the moment of dying. Rejuvenation is just one of them. Some people can see or foresee some things in the future. I believe that you should have heard a lot about this kind of story. Your father may have seen the future scene, so he used this method to warn him."
Hearing Su Chen's explanation, Lin Hai and his sister fell into thinking, and Wang Huizhong, who had been listening, interrupted at this time, "This is the case. I heard from my father that an old man in his village was in his 80s. Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and grabbed his children's hands and asked them to move all the vegetables and food stored in the cave to their homes. At first, the old man's children didn't understand. Until a few days later, a heavy rain caused a mountain torrent, and destroyed the caves dug by the villagers. Only then did everyone understand the meaning of the words the old man said before leaving."
In that era, many villagers would store some of the grains in the fields, such as sweet potatoes and yams, in caves, because the caves were dry and cool, and they would also be able to replant seeds in the next year.
"It's true or false, is it so lingering? Even if my grandfather saw the future before leaving, how could my grandfather break the coffin? Could it be that my grandfather's soul is still there? Even if my grandfather's soul is still there, there are other ways to use, such as the dream-sending that people often say."
A young man from the Lin family questioned that as the successor of the new century, he was an absolute atheist. In his opinion, all this was just a coincidence, and his words also made Lin Hai and his brothers and sisters look suspicious.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen knew that he had to explain in detail and immediately replied: "The reason is very simple, because your grandfather can't dream for others yet."
"Brother Su, can you explain it clearly? Why can't you dream?" Lin Hai asked.
"A person has three souls and seven spirits. After normal people die, the three souls will go to the underworld, and the seven souls will still stay in the world and slowly disappear with the passage of time. However, the speed of the soul dissipation depends on whether there is obsession in the heart. If the obsession is too deep, the longer the soul stays in the world will be,"
"Your father's obsession is that it cannot implicate your elder brother, so even if his three souls are gone, Soul still has this obsession. It's just that Soul is unconscious. He just retains the obsession before the living person dies. Moreover, Soul's power is extremely limited. He cannot affect anyone except the living person's corpse, so he can only stop you in this way."
"I have told you all the things that should be said and explained. As for whether you believe it or not, it is your own business. I just want to tell you that there is no problem with the coffin of the store."
Having said that, Su Chen felt that it was enough because he could not prove it to the other party. After all, he was a patient now, just like a theorist, who had a lot of theories but no practical skills.
Lin Hai and his sisters exchanged their eyes with each other. The young men were still disbelief and wanted to question, but this time they were stopped by Lin Hai.
"Return it back to me."
After scolding several juniors, Lin Hai looked at Su Chen and said, "Brother Su, can you verify what you said?"
Su Chen shook his head and replied, "No."
"There is no way to verify it at all?"
"Well, it depends on whether your father is doing well in the underworld. If he is doing well, he might have to send a dream to you one day."
Hearing Su Chen's answer, Lin Hai was silent for a moment, and then said to Wang Huizhong: "I believe what this brother Su said for the time being, but we will investigate this matter clearly and there will be a result in the end."
"Inquiry is just an investigation. The coffin created by our Wang family is well-known!" Wang Huizhong also responded with a tough attitude.
"It's better."
After saying this, Lin Hai took his family away, and soon Su Chen and Wang Huizhong were left in the coffin shop.
"Brother Su, thank you for this incident."
Wang Huizhong expressed his gratitude to Su Chen. Su Chen waved his hand and replied: "Don't thank me, I just told the truth. And I came to my door this time, and I need your help if I have something to do."
With his previous life experience, Su Chen didn't think he was a good person. If he hadn't come to the house and asked for help this time, he wouldn't interfere in this matter, especially before he had no certain strength, showing too much ability is not a good thing.
