"I want to place the professor according to the funeral custom of our Miao nationality." The leader said, "You are also his friends. The professor has no children. I hope you can send him off together."

Tang Sancheng and Bai Yi looked at each other in dismay. The combined age of both of them could be Professor He's grandfather. This leader actually asked them to be "filial sons and filial daughters"? ?The two secretly groaned in their hearts, Tang Sancheng gave Bai Yi an elbow, and asked in a low voice: "What should I do? Agree, or not?"

"We will definitely give Professor He a ride." Bai Yi agreed wholeheartedly.

"Okay then, I'll ask someone to prepare the coffin and the filial hall, and I ask you two to help." Then the leader asked: "I don't know what your names are?"

"My name is Tang Sancheng, this one is..." Tang Sancheng spoke quickly, and immediately spit out the answer, Bai Yi interrupted Tang Sancheng: "My surname is Liu, Liu Feng." Lying, Bai Yi lied again, Tang Sancheng looked at him suspiciously, and Bai Yi asked frankly: "I don't know what the leader's name is?"

"My name is Fu Wu." Fu Wu said: "Our Miao people divide death into two categories: normal death and abnormal death. Those who die at the end of their life and are young and middle-aged are called normal deaths and are buried in wooden coffins; , premature death, leprosy death, drowning death, hanging death, etc. are called abnormal deaths, and they are cremated or cremated and then buried. In areas with family cemeteries, only normal deaths can enter the public cemetery, and abnormal deaths cannot enter the family cemetery. Burial in the cemetery."

"Then what does Professor He call this?" Tang Sancheng asked.

"The professor passed away without illness and pain. Of course, he died normally. Like my aunt, he will be buried in a wooden coffin." Fu Wu said: "Please come to my house, both of you, to discuss the details of the funeral. Let's go." .”

Fu Wu's home is the first household on the mountainside. Compared with Fu Min's stilted building, the scale is slightly smaller, and Fu Min's stilted building is larger than the leader's. It can be seen that the coffin keeper's status in the Miao village is very important. .

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Sancheng saw a little girl squatting on the ground, burying something, saw someone approaching, stood up vigilantly: "Father, you are back."

"Xiaoying, there are guests, you go out to play by yourself."

The girl named Xiaoying looks very handsome, but she is about 13 years old, she is already very fresh, and there is also the appearance of Fu Yu between her eyebrows. Bai Yi glanced at the place where Xiaoying was squatting just now, and his heart skipped a beat. It should be a jar for raising Gu!He once saw Fu Yu bury the exact same jar. There were pictures of insects, spiders, centipedes, etc. on the jar. When Bai Yi saw it for the first time, he felt creepy, because the patterns on it seemed to be alive. , when you touch it with your hand, it's like touching a living thing.

In this way, this little girl named Xiaoying is the current Gu girl. Sure enough, Gu girls are passed down from generation to generation, first Fu Min, then Fu Yu, and now it is the turn of this girl named Xiaoying. Ying was very lively: "Abba, then I'll go and play with brother!"

Brother!Bai Yi's heart skipped a beat: "Boss, do you have a son and a daughter?"

"Yes, there is another son, naughty, I don't know where he went." Fu Wu told Xiaoying: "Xiaoying, go and get my brother back."

"Oh." The little girl agreed to run outside, and she still didn't forget to turn her head and smile playfully. This kind of innocence made Tang Sancheng happy: "What a spirited little girl."

Fu Wu sighed: "Come in."
