How can this be? !
Not to mention why I want to put my black and white photo in Chen Guzi’s mourning hall, even if I want to do this, I have to have the chance!
Chen Guzi’s family has Mr. Luogu and Mr. Dojo in charge. With them present, how could I possibly have the opportunity to put my black and white photo on it?
Besides, after my grandfather was buried, I went home and fell asleep, and I have been sleeping until now. If Mr. Wang hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have gone to Chen Guzi’s house at all. Where would I have had the time to do this?
Besides, I'm not stupid, why should I put my black and white photo in someone else's mourning hall? Do I think I have lived too long, so I want to curse myself to death?
You have to find a better reason to slander someone. If it is so full of loopholes and illogical, how did you say it, Mr. Wang? Could it be that the Chen family is lying to you, can't you see it?
Mr. Wang said that not only the mother and daughter of the Chen family, but everyone present saw it.
boom!
As soon as these words came out, I was stunned.
If it was just the Chen family and their daughter who said this, then I can indeed say without hesitation that they were slandering me. But if it is true as Mr. Wang said and everyone present saw it, then it is definitely not as simple as a false accusation.
I know the character of the villagers. They will never tell lies out of conscience just because they feel sorry for the Chen family and her daughter.
However, I have been sleeping at home, how could I appear in front of everyone?
Mr. Wang said, have you ever had the habit of sleepwalking before?
I shook my head and said, never before----wait a minute...
At this point, I suddenly stopped, lowered my voice, and told Mr. Wang that the village chief said that when I climbed into the coffin to sleep, I did so with my eyes closed. He said that I looked like I was sleepwalking. ----Could this be the reason?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said that when they saw you, your eyes were open, so you shouldn't be sleepwalking. Moreover, if he is really sleepwalking, he will only be able to do the simplest mechanical movements, and he will not be able to do the things you do without thinking.
I hurriedly asked, what on earth did that 'I' do?
Mr. Wang said, I was not at the scene at the time, so you can ask the village chief to tell you.
I knew that Mr. Wang was not at the scene, and I was afraid that what he said would be different from what they said at the scene, so I simply didn’t speak and asked the village chief to say it again. Mr. Wang could also corroborate what the previous village chief said. See if the village chief is lying.
It has to be said that Mr. Wang is also very thoughtful and thoughtful.
The village chief glanced at me, and then said, you first go to the mourning hall, lie to the gentlemen that Mr. Wang needs their help with something important, and tell them to go to the ancestral hall. I arrived at the scene and when I heard what Mr. Wang said, I let them go.
The village chief continued, after they all left, you said you wanted to offer incense to Mr. Chen, so I didn’t think much about it. I just stood at the door of the yard and waited for you, and then went out with you. Before I had even taken a few steps, I heard a strange scream from the Chen family's sister-in-law. I didn't pay attention to you at the time, so I ran back. Then I saw the posthumous photo of the Eight Immortals on the table, which turned into "You Didi."
Let me tell you, from beginning to end, no one saw me changing my photo, right?
The village chief shook his head and said, "Although I didn't see the front, I stood at the entrance of the courtyard and saw clearly that you picked up the photo of Chen Guzi and passed it on." The most important thing is that girl Chen Hui saw you put up your photo of yourself, and then glared at her to tell her not to talk nonsense.
At this time, Aunt Chen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. I went to the hut, and as soon as I came back, I heard my daughter tell me that you had exchanged the portrait of her father. I didn’t believe it at first, but after seeing it, I was shocked on the spot. Gotta shout out. ----You've been around for thousands of years, how long have you been going to harm my house?
When she said the last sentence, Aunt Chen almost screamed hysterically, with tears and runny nose coming out, but she still held her daughter tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that she would be killed if she let go.
After listening to what they said, although I was still confused, I believed they were not lying. It is easy for one person to lie, but it is almost impossible for everyone to lie together.
After all, as long as one person's statement is different, the entire lie will be invalid.
But whether it is the mother and daughter of the Chen family, the village chief, or the gentlemen of the dojo, their words are almost the same, and there are no loopholes.
And I saw Mr. Wang frowning again. Obviously, after listening to it twice, he couldn't find any loopholes.
Aunt Chen was still wailing, and the daughter in her arms was also wailing.
When the village chief saw this, he came over and asked me, "Si Qing, you are a college student with a higher education than us. Tell us the truth. Why do you want to do this?"
Let me tell you, I have been sleeping in the house all day and have never been here. How could I do such a thing? Besides, how could there be any reason to put up a photo of myself?
The first sentence was not lethal, but the latter sentence caused quite a commotion in the crowd. Indeed, no one expects to die.
After hearing what I said, the village chief ran out of ideas for a while, so he went to ask Mr. Wang what to do.
Mr. Wang said, "I don't see any ulterior motive for the time being, but if you want to say that the little kid put a black and white photo of himself on it as a posthumous photo, it really doesn't make sense." In my opinion, we should put away these photos first, continue the work in the ashram, and send Chen Guzi away first before talking about it.
The village chief glanced at the Chen family's mother and daughter and said, "How about I explain to them?" just in case……?
Mr. Wang said that before Chen Guzi went up the mountain, I was here to guard him to ensure that this kind of thing would never happen again.
Hearing Mr. Wang's words, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief, but politely said that it was too much trouble for Mr. Wang.
Because of Mr. Wang's promise, everyone present seemed relieved. It seemed that the villagers were convinced of Mr. Wang's ability.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Mr. Wang took out two copper coins from his arms, then walked into the mourning hall. He first bowed to the portraits of the Three Purities on the table of the Eight Immortals, then muttered a few words, and used his thumbs to Copper coins were pressed against my eyes in the black and white photo.
The black and white photo is sealed in a glass frame. Logically speaking, it is impossible for copper coins to be attached to the glass that is placed vertically. But these two copper coins were stuck to the glass as if they were glued, and they didn't move at all.
Then I saw Mr. Wang pressing his index finger with his thumb, his ring finger and little finger together, and separated from his middle finger. Then, with his palm facing upward, he used the gap between his ring finger and middle finger to hold the black and white photo. Then his middle finger gently exerted force, and the whole photo frame snapped. He fell forward and landed on the Eight Immortals Table.
At this time, Mr. Wang used his little finger to sweep the base of the photo frame, and swept the photo frame outside the Eight Immortals Table. However, the movement was not big every time, and every time he swiped, he was mumbling something, but I didn’t hear a word of it. clear.
When the small half of the picture frame was swept out of the Eight Immortals table, Mr. Wang took out a piece of black cloth from the carrier, wrapped the entire picture frame, and stuffed it into the carrier. This was the end.
After doing this, Mr. Wang asked, where is Chen Guzi's posthumous photo?
After asking, Mr. Wang slapped his forehead and asked again, are there any black and white photos of Chen Guzi in the house?
Aunt Chen glared at me fiercely first, and then nodded and said, Ha, he was ready to do this a few years ago, but he didn’t know how long it would take for him to start this business.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went to the back room to get Chen Guzi's photo while crying. Her right hand was always holding her daughter's hand, never leaving her.
After the photos were retrieved, Mr. Wang did not intervene, but asked Mr. Dojo to put the photos back in place, and then he led everyone to burn incense for Mr. Chen.
However, just as I was going to burn incense for Mr. Chen, a voice behind me suddenly shouted: Look, Chen Guzi’s eyes are watering!
