I heard it's not good to be a magic stick

Li Jingxing was a little embarrassed but also very satisfied, he pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to rub Xu Xu's hair.

Xu Xu didn't have the slightest sense of apologizing for feeding someone else's dog food, so he walked up to Zhang Linle and snapped his fingers: "Can't we live as a couple just because we're on a mission?"

That triumphant and swaggering look is like a cat that has stolen the fish.

Zhang Linle lifted his trouser waist, his momentum was suppressed, and he said in a low voice: "No, it's just a priority."

"Don't think I don't know, what did you do when you were on mission in the South China Sea?"

Zhang Linle, who was a little guilty, turned petrified in an instant, his expression was frozen on his face, but his heart was overwhelmed.

At that time, the battle was so fierce, everyone had an opponent, and everyone was struggling to deal with it. I don't know how Xu Xu saw him?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason, but if he had something to hold in the other party's hand, he would inevitably be short of breath, and Zhang Linle didn't dare to ask further questions for a while.

"Nan|hai?" Asi asked, "Wow, have you gone to the sea? Last time we also went to the sea to exorcise evil spirits."

As soon as the honest Asi answered, Zhang Linle immediately found an opportunity to change the subject, pretending to be curious, he continued, "I heard that you have met a half-man, half-fish Yuanhai Yinxie, what's his name, yes, Yin Shark. "

Axi's face suddenly turned ugly.

"What's wrong?" Monk Zhang Lin and Le Zhang couldn't figure it out. This young man was obviously very happy for a second.

Xu Xu smiled unkindly at the side: "Liu Wan, you don't know, that Yinjiao is about the size of a killer whale, with a sinister and cunning personality, extravagant | lewd, already has a dick, but also likes strong men, It fell in love with Asi at first sight, if it wasn't for Asi's willingness to give up the seductive appearance in the end, we wouldn't be able to kill those lewd | fishes."

"Oh." Zhang Linle knew why Asi was gloomy, this man|beast was too disgusting.

Asi shook his head like a rattle: "Stop talking, I will never eat fish again in my life, I vomit when I see fish."

"I understand you, buddy." Zhang Linle patted Assi's shoulder sympathetically, recalling the previous meals, it seemed that there was no fish.

The three of them were chatting with each other when Li Jingxing walked out of the room with big strides.

"Brother!" Xu Xu shouted from behind.

"Would you like to chat for a while?"

After fluffing the next sentence, no one was there.The other three immediately rushed up in a panic.

The roads in the countryside are not particularly easy to walk, and it takes a lot of time to travel a mile.Asi was the one who went the smoothest. He was a child from the countryside. This time he walked to a place similar to his hometown, and he felt a little familiar. He kept introducing some of their local funeral customs to Zhang Linle.

Zhang Linle grew up in the city since he was a child. It sounds very interesting, and he can't wait to have a discussion: "We all pay attention to rich care and light burial. When the elders are alive, they should be filial and let them spend their old age in peace. When driving west, the burial should be Advocating simplicity, this is a sensible funeral culture."

Asi disagreed: "No way, if you treat the dead elders so casually, there will be retribution."

This is the surprise of the region and culture. The two talked for a long time but couldn't agree, and no one could convince the other.

While the two were discussing, Xu Xu had already found a small local funeral shop, bought a large wreath, and threw it to the two of them.

The wreath was too big, and Asi and Zhang Linle could only carry one side, so there was no point in arguing.

Zhang Linle asked, "Brother Xu, are you going to send a wreath today?"

Xu Xu: "I asked just now. Here, young people's funerals are not happy funerals. Usually, they only have three days off. Tonight we will watch the night together. Tomorrow, we will follow their funerals and go to the crematorium to find out."

"Axi, in addition to wreaths, is there any money for funerals in the countryside?" Zhang Linle stretched his neck and asked.

Asi shook his head: "We will send quilts and wreaths there."

Li Jingxing answered: "Customs vary from place to place. Gifts for funerals were called funeral rituals in ancient times, but they are generally inseparable from gift money, property, wreaths, elegiac couplets and elegiac curtains. Rural areas will pay more attention to ceremonies. Let's not be too casual to avoid collisions." local customs."

Xu Xu took out an envelope, took out some red notes from his pocket and put them in.

With the full implementation of cremation, more and more rural people have given up on burial, but the way of arranging funerals remains the same as in the 80s.

When four people appeared at the funeral wearing "low-key" village clothes, they did not attract much attention.

Very good, Zhang Lin said happily, at least they don't look like alien species.

A few sheets of striped plastic form a large shed, and the deepest part is where the dead are placed.

The black and white portrait of the deceased was locked in a black frame, and a black cloth was draped over the photo. Below the photo was the coffin, which was covered with flexible paper flowers in black and white.

There are a few large wreaths scattered around, and elegiac couplets and quilts sent by relatives and friends are hung on the wires around the shed, and the old-fashioned mourning is low and sad.

There were not many people attending the funeral, perhaps because of the previous horror rumors, there were only a few relatives and friends sitting sparsely on the dozen or so simple tables.

The relatives of the deceased were attending the ceremony. A bunch of local mages were bouncing around, ringing the bells and singing, while the relatives kept crying.

Seeing someone arriving, the crying relatives sent someone to receive them.

Li Jingxing explained his purpose of coming to this person, gave a gift money, and specifically emphasized that the village chief asked them to help keep watch at night, and he would also go out with him for the funeral.

The relatives of the deceased expressed their thanks, and went back after thanking them, and wept loudly.

Xu Xu was a little confused: "This crying is a bit exaggerated, it doesn't seem like it's from the heart."

"Master, you don't know that you are from the city. This is a local custom. If you don't cry, you will be punished." Asi interjected.

Xu Xu killed the past with a glance: "This kind of place, don't shout."

Li Jingxing took the three of them to find a far away square table and sat down. Someone brought over two badly painted iron plates, filled with fruit candy and melon seeds, and asked them to help themselves.

After the four of them thanked each other, they sat on the wooden bench and wasted their time.

Xu Xu stared at the ice coffin in a daze, Li Jingxing saw that his expression was wrong, and patted his back with his hand.

"Tonight..." Xu Xu turned his head, "Be careful."

"What do you see?"

Xu Xu closed his eyes, as if trying to remember: "People, hairy, sneak attack."

"Isn't that a monkey?" Zhang Linle roared.

Fortunately, the voices of mourning and practice around him were too loud, covering his voice.

"Calm down, six bowls." Xu Xu frowned.

"This is not a matter of calmness. This is the countryside, not the sea. How could there be a monkey?"

Asi didn't like listening to fish, and Zhang Linle hated hearing monkeys, so goosebumps stood up all over his body.

"I'm not sure either." Xu Xu shook his head.

"Okay, adapt to the situation, what is there to be afraid of monkeys?" Li Jingxing raised his hand indifferently.

Zhang Linle answered "Yes" on the surface, but complained frantically in his heart, of course you are not afraid, big brother, you dare to fight even the giant dragon, are you still afraid of mere monkeys?I'm not afraid, but I feel sick, especially when I think of the bloody internal organs of these evil animals being pulled out by myself.

People's potential is really limitless. At that time, the situation was critical. Once Zhang Linle took out his weapon, his whole body was full of murderous aura. It was all under Xu Xu's command. Now that he was so awake, he would never be able to do such a thing.

Looking back now, I feel my stomach is overwhelmed. Zhang Linle glanced at Xu Xu secretly.

"Tomorrow's funeral is more important, and there may be more difficult troubles. Tonight's vigil, everyone can take turns to rest, but those on duty must be highly vigilant." Li Jingxing reminded.

"Come on, Brother Jing Xing, I can't sleep, so let me watch the night. I think that when I was dreaming in the middle of the night, I was suddenly turned into a headless corpse by a group of monkeys, and I feel very wronged."

"What kind of monkey?" Asi was a little nervous, his skills were mediocre, and his physical skills could only be considered passable, relying on Li Jingxing's few days of kung fu teaching, he was only strong enough to fight with his fists.

Zhang Linle focused on telling Asi about the encounter with Monkey B at sea. After the lecture, both of them turned bitter faces.

Asi sighed to himself: "If that second monkey is very dexterous, I might not be able to catch it."

"The key is to let him jump on your back, and pay attention to their long arms. Once they are near your head, it will basically announce that you are done." Zhang Linle reminded.

"Okay, I heard you talking a lot, it's too noisy." Xu Xu supported his forehead.

Zhang Linle and Asi looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously their voices were not as loud as mourning.

Li Jingxing asked softly, "Does your head hurt again?"

"Every time there is an omen, I always have a headache." Xu Xu stretched out his hand and squeezed his temple.

Li Jingxing was about to stretch out his hand to rub Xu Xu, but Zhang Linle stopped him: "This is a village, not a city, and people's ideas are not yet enlightened. Brother Jing Xing, pay attention to the influence."

Li Jingxing's eyes were deep, but Xu Xu smiled slightly: "It's okay, brother, I'll be fine in a while." Then he gave Zhang Linle a wink.

Zhang Linle understood, and took the initiative to talk about other topics, Xu Xu also pretended to be strong and joined the chat, Li Jingxing couldn't bear to expose, and gently held his lover's hand under the table.

Xu Xu was obsessed with cleanliness, and couldn't eat the poor food here. Under Li Jingxing's hard and soft tactics, he barely ate a few mouthfuls of vegetarian dishes. Zhang Linle had always had lingering fears about Yi Hou, and he felt sick just thinking about it. , but Asi, nothing particularly uncomfortable, eating as much as usual.

After the meal, several people waited idly until nightfall.

Because of local rumors, the relatives of the deceased were unwilling to keep vigil, and dispersed one after another, leaving only the parents and wife of the deceased.

The funeral was held in the courtyard where the deceased lived. Li Jingxing advised them to go back to the house to rest for a few hours, and the four young men would take turns to watch the night.The relatives who were overwhelmed with grief were indeed so tired that they were about to pass out, so they thanked Li Jingxing and the others, and went back to the house to take a nap for two or three hours.

After midnight, all the hustle and bustle stopped, only the occasional croaking of frogs in the fields.The surrounding lights were dimmed a bit, and the portraits on the coffin in the whole shed were gloomy, making the whole shed even more lifeless.

Zhang Linle's eyelids were drooping, and Asi put his hands on his cheeks, trying to force himself to cheer up, but his head couldn't stop for two seconds, and his forehead hit the table. He just relaxed himself and came into intimate contact with the table.Xu Xu's condition was not much better, barely holding on.

Only Li Jingxing sat upright with clear eyes.

After a while, Li Jingxing tapped the table heavily with his fingers to wake up the three people who were in a daze.

Asi wiped Mengmeng's saliva, stood up, and covered his neck: "Has the monkey come?"
