Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 15 The Unlucky Li Family
Village entrance.
Jiale has already delivered four more dead bodies, and there was no problem with that. Only one body had not yet been paid back , but he was used to it. Now there was only the last one left. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw the intelligence team at the entrance, who were discussing something.
Corpse driving is done at night, but corpse delivery is done during the day. Otherwise, you can imagine the scene of driving a group of dead bodies to your door in the middle of the night, jumping around.
It is possible that one dead body was sent in, but two dead bodies were received. No, it could be more.
With so many people gathered at the entrance of the village, it was impossible for Jiale to enter the village secretly.
After thinking for a while, Jiale decided to put the body in a hidden place first, and then he came to the intelligence team at the entrance of the village alone.
Maybe these aunties were too engrossed in what they were saying and didn't notice Jiale's footsteps.
"Have you heard? Something happened to Old Li's family again?"
"Now the whole village knows about it. I don't know what sin his family has committed. His mother just died, and now his daughter-in-law has gotten into trouble again."
"Yes, I heard that the daughter-in-law used to be quite slim, but now she seems to be crazy and only cares about eating. Her belly is so bloated. If she continues like this, I'm afraid there will be new graves in the family before my mother's funeral."
"It's probably possessed by evil spirits. I saw Lao Li invite a fortune teller from the village, but she was scared away. I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary evil spirit."
"Yes, now the people in the village don't dare to work properly. They have to go to work on weekdays. Aren't they a little scared now, so they gather here?"
…
Jiale was not in a hurry to speak. Listening to the whispers of these uncles and aunts, he had already imagined a scene in his mind. He didn't expect that this last dead body would actually be a family that was possessed by evil spirits.
Last name Li?
His client this time happened to be surnamed Li. He didn't know if he was related to this Old Li. If he was really related to this Old Li, then there must be something wrong with the feng shui of Old Li's family. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so unlucky and have so many accidents happen one after another.
"My dear uncles and aunts, this old Li you are talking about, is he Li Guijia?"
Jiale's voice suddenly rang out, directly scaring the group of uncles and aunts who were telling supernatural stories. One of them was so exaggerated that he fell backwards. If the people around him hadn't been quick to act, he would have been seriously injured.
"Wow, little guy, why are you walking without making any sound? When did you come here?"
The auntie who was closest to Jiale was still in shock. She looked at Jiale with resentment and muttered to herself. However, after seeing that Jiale was wearing a Taoist robe, she calmed down a bit. After all, in this era, monks and Taoists were still very respected in the countryside.
"So it's the young Taoist priest. We are talking about Li Gui's family. Could it be that the young Taoist priest was invited to exorcise evil spirits?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Le mourned for this client in silence. Now the old wounds have not healed and new injuries have come. He wondered if Li Gui could bear it.
"That's not the case. I'm a corpse driver, here to escort the dead back home. I wanted to sneak into the village quietly, but you all gathered at the entrance of the village, so I had no choice but to come over to give you a heads-up and ask for directions. I'd like to trouble you to show me the way."
Everyone's faces changed immediately when they heard this. They were still very wary of corpse drivers.
The aunt who answered the call quickly pointed Jiale in a direction and left.
The others followed suit and no longer had any interest in talking. They left immediately because no one wanted to see the dead body.
Jiale shook his head, took the corpse, and continued to walk in the direction the aunt pointed. After a while, he saw a house with funeral flags and lanterns. Thinking of what the uncles and aunts had said just now about Li Gui's mother passing away, Jiale guessed that this was the case.
There were still some cries in the yard, and someone was lying at the door.
Jiale immediately rang the corpse-driving bell.
"The dead use the road, and the living retreat."
Jiale's voice was quite loud. The people lying at the gate of the courtyard heard the sound and hurried away. They were not ignorant. Even if they had not eaten pork, they had seen pigs run and knew what was going on.
Only two young men in mourning looked at Jiale.
Seeing that he didn't avoid him, Jiale stopped paying attention and went straight to the gate of the courtyard.
But he found that the two young men were staring at the dead body behind Jia Le, and tears were streaming down their faces unconsciously.
“Second brother!”
The voice was trembling, as if he couldn't believe it. Jiale shook his head secretly. It seemed that the two young men were the brothers of the dead body. No wonder they were unwilling to leave.
"My condolences, but Ah Qiang's family? Xiaodao is sending the deceased back to his hometown. Here is the document, please accept it."
The older young man took the document, looked at it, and couldn't read it. He looked at Jiale blankly, then at the dead body. He wanted to go forward, but he was hesitant and didn't dare to go forward.
Jiale read the contents of the document, and the two finally understood the situation. They couldn't help but feel sad. "What happened to our family? First it was father, and now it's mother. Just after mother passed away, something happened to the eldest sister-in-law. Now how come even the second brother has suffered a misfortune? What happened to our Li family?"
It seemed that Aqiang's death was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The two young men cried more and more sadly, and finally they just hugged each other.
Jiale didn't bother them, just watched quietly. He wouldn't persuade them. After all, they were men. After crying, they would still face it bravely. After a long while, the two young men looked at Jiale apologetically, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Taoist priest. Thank you for your help. Please come in."
Jiale nodded.
Ding ding ding!
Under Jiale's control, the corpse jumped into the yard. At this time, there were still a few women in the yard mourning. When they saw the corpse suddenly jump in, they were immediately shocked, "It's a corpse!"
In fact, it was not their fault. It was just that the Li family had been experiencing a lot of major and minor events recently, which had brought them to the brink of collapse. Jiale did not need to explain. Instead, the two young people hurried forward and shouted, "What are you talking about? The Taoist priest has sent the second brother back."
After saying that, the older young man looked at one of the women with some reluctance, "Second sister-in-law, the incident has already happened, you have to hold on."
It turned out that this woman was the wife of the dead body, but now she had only waited for a dead body. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Jia Le rushed over to check on the man and found that he had just lost control of his emotions and fainted, and that he was not seriously injured. He felt relieved. The Li family had been unlucky enough, and Jia Le did not want to add another corpse to their family.
"It's okay, he just fainted. Just help him inside to rest. I'll need your guidance later. Do you have a coffin to place the deceased?"
Hearing Jiale's words, everyone was relieved. "Master, please follow me. We have a coffin. I made one before. The specific reason is hard to explain. I just don't know if it can accommodate my second brother."
Upon hearing this, Jiale took the corpse over, took a look, and when he felt that there was no problem, he directly opened the coffin and let the corpse lie down inside. This time, the trip was successful.
At this moment, the eldest brother Li Gui in the room also heard the sound and came out.
"What's wrong? What happened again?"
Jiale looked at the person who came. Perhaps because he had experienced too many things in a short period of time, Li Gui looked a little haggard.
When the two young men saw Li Gui coming out, they hurried forward and told him what had happened. After listening to it, Li Gui felt dizzy and almost fainted.
But he managed to hold on in the end. However, the continuous blows finally made this man unable to hold on any longer and he burst into tears, "Did my Li family really do something wrong to be punished like this? Second brother, you..."
