Chapter 87: Fallen leaves return to their roots
When Qin Shaoyou and the three returned to the Yaosi of Luocheng Town, the wrestlers had already prepared and brought two brand-new coffins with the bodies of Lao Wei and Lao Yao, and were carrying them to the carriage.
Seeing Qin Shaoyou coming back, Liao Lishi patted the coffin and said proudly, "Sir, what do you think of these two coffins? They were beaten by good cedars. I want to lie down in them."
Qin Shaoyou gave a "bah" and reprimanded: "Can you say something auspicious? What kind of coffin is a living person lying on?"
Liao Lishi was not annoyed after being punished, and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, there will be a death. After death, there is a good coffin to lie down, and then a good place for future generations to be buried, even if there is no regrets and no regrets. "
"Hurry up and shut up, the more you talk, the more vigorous you are?" Qin Shaoyou glared at him and asked, "Where did these two coffins come from?"
Liao Lishi didn't dare to say a word, and another Lishi next to him replied, "I bought it from the coffin shop."
"Did the coffin shop open so early?"
"No, we knocked it open."
Qin Shaoyou didn't know how to distinguish between good and bad coffins, but he saw that all the wrestlers were full of praise for these two coffins, and even Zhu Xiucai looked like he couldn't put it down, so he knew it must be good, and nodded with satisfaction.
"You guys are interested, I didn't even think about it... How much are these two coffins?"
He wants to reimburse.
Seeing this, all the warriors waved their hands.
"My lord, don't worry about the money. These two coffins are the wishes of the brothers for Lao Wei and Lao Yao."
When Qin Shaoyou saw them say this, he no longer insisted.
The coffins were quickly loaded onto the carriage, and several fighters secured them with ropes.
Willis sat in front of the coffin and was in charge of driving the carriage.
Everyone rode on horses and guarded the front and rear of the carriage.
The team quickly left the city and went south along the official road, intending to send Wei Lishi home first.
Wei Lishi's home is in Huilong Township below Wan'an County, which is relatively close to Luocheng.
Before noon, the convoy arrived at Huilong Township.
Here, like other places, there are also fences and walls to guard against bandits and wild beasts.
Seeing an unfamiliar motorcade approaching, the villagers returning to Long Township were very nervous, and some people even rushed to close the gate of the village.
Zhu Xiucai quickly took out his waist card to show his identity, which relieved the nervousness of the villagers. When he was with him, he asked them, "Does anyone know where Wei Dazhuang's home is?"
When the villagers saw the coffin on the carriage, they dared to ask, "Sir, but Wei Dazhuang is dead?"
Qin Shaoyou replied, "Yes, Wei Dazhuang died heroically when he was carrying out the mission of the Suppressing Demon Division. We are here to **** his coffin home today."
When the villagers heard this, some people raised their hands and said, "Sir, I know where Wei Dazhuang's home is, and I will lead you there."
Someone else said: "Wei Dazhuang's parents seem to be still working in the fields, I will inform them."
More people are talking about it.
Someone sighed: "Wei Dazhuang died at such a young age before he could find his mother-in-law. It's a pity."
Some people are speculating: "So many officials sent Wei Dazhuang back and gave him a good coffin. Wei Dazhuang didn't make a great contribution before he died, did he? I don't know if there is any reward, and how much..."
Under the leadership of several villagers, Qin Shaoyou and his party came to Wei Lishi's house.
Lao Wei's house is similar to an ordinary farmhouse. The yellow earth house is covered with a layer of thatch, an old dog is tied to the yard, and a few chickens and ducks are raised.
When Qin Shaoyou and the others unloaded the coffin and moved into the courtyard, a group of villagers gathered outside to watch the fun.
After waiting for a while, Willis' parents came back.
Although they had already learned the news of their son's death, after seeing the coffin in the yard, they were still like being struck by lightning and stood there for a while, before jumping up to hug the coffin and weeping bitterly.
Qin Shaoyou and others accompanied him to comfort him.
After crying for a while, Father Wei's mood eased a little, remembering that Qin Shaoyou and the others were still beside him, he hurriedly bowed his hands to them with some fear: "Thank you, sirs, for sending my son back, sorry for your troubles..."
"Don't say that, uncle. Wei Dazhuang is both our colleague and our brother. He died for the country, so we naturally want to send him home."
After comforting Father Wei a few words, Qin Shaoyou gestured to Zhu Xiucai with his eyes. The latter understood and turned around to close the courtyard gate. He took out a money bag and handed it to Father Wei.
"Uncle, some of the money in this is the savings of Wei Dazhuang during his lifetime, and some is the pension from the Demon Suppression Division, as well as some of the money that our brothers put together. You have taken it."
Hearing that he was rich, another person in the courtyard immediately straightened his eyes.
He is Wei Lishi's younger brother, Wei Dayou.
Wei Lishi has two older sisters and a younger brother. Both older sisters are married, and his younger brother, Wei Dayou, is an adult, but he idles around all day and doesn't do his job properly.
Qin Shaoyou noticed Wei Dayou's reaction.
The mayor who happened to be returning to Long Township was also here, and Qin Shaoyou explained to him: "This money is the pension money that Wei Lishi left to the second old man. We also asked the mayor to help us keep an eye on it, and don't let anyone deceive this money. Steal it, or my Luocheng Town Demon Division will investigate to the end and punish you severely!"
Naturally, the mayor promised to help Wei Lishi's parents keep the money safe.
At this time, Wei Dayou said, "Don't bother the mayor, I will help our parents to look after the money."
Seeing that he was not interested, Zhu Xiucai snorted coldly and said bluntly: "Who do you think our adults are asking the township chief to guard against? It's you! If you dare to take this money, I will catch the demons and let them every day. haunt you!"
After Wei Dayou heard Zhu Xiucai's words, his face became embarrassed.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he dared to ask, "Sir, is it a female ghost?"
Zhu Xiucai glared at him and sneered: "What are you thinking of? Being haunted by female ghosts? I'm still waiting in line~www.readwn.com~ The people I caught to haunt you are all male ghosts who love Rabbit Lord. , I like your type."
Wei Dayou was frightened, his body trembled as if he was about to fall apart.
Qin Shaoyou explained a few more words, comforted Wei Lishi's parents, and then left.
Wei Lishi's parents wanted to keep everyone for lunch, but Qin Shaoyou declined.
"Besides Lao Wei, I have a brother's body waiting to be sent back. I'm in a hurry... Next time, next time, I will definitely come back to Longxiang to visit Er Lao."
After leaving Wei Lishi's house, Qin Shaoyou refused to let the two elders take him away, so everyone drove the carriage and rode on horses, and they were about to leave and return to Long Township.
When he arrived at the gate of the village in Huilong Township, Monk Ma suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the front, and shouted in surprise, "Lord, look, then...is that Lao Wei?"
Without his pointing, Qin Shaoyou had already seen it.
Zhu Xiucai and the others saw Wei Lishi standing under a locust tree in a translucent shape only after Monk Ma reminded him.
Seeing everyone watching, Wei Lishi clasped his fists and bowed.
Qin Shaoyou returned the salute with everyone.
Zhu Xiucai shouted, "Old Wei, go all the way!"
Liao Lishi saw the soul of his old friend and burst into tears: "Old Wei, in a few days, I will burn a few paper figurines for you, you and Lao Yao are waiting for me below, and I will continue to follow you when I arrive below. teamwork."
Wei Lishi, who was under the locust tree, showed a smile, raised his hand and waved to the crowd, his figure gradually faded, and eventually he disappeared.
A few dead leaves fell from the locust tree and fell on the roots of the tree.
"Goodbye, Old Wei, and have a good journey."
Qin Shaoyou said softly.
