I really don't want to be a teacher

After a while, at the dinner table, Lian Ge and Uncle Xu were sitting at the same table, and Hu Xianshou, who was the host, was also sitting beside him.

The rest of the guests sat on their own without deliberately arranging them.

But after all, it was a funeral, and not many people came to eat.

"... I don't know what taboo you have, Master Lian, so I just made some dishes. If you can't eat Master Lian, I'll change it for you immediately." Sitting beside Lian Ge, Hu Xianshou said politely.

"No, I don't have any taboos, and I'm not picky." Lian Ge shook his head and said,

He is not a true god, so what are the taboos.

"That's good, that's good, Master Lian, do you drink?"

"Sorry, no alcohol."

"It's okay if you don't drink, it's okay if you don't drink...Brother Xu, would you like a drink?"

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't drink." Uncle Xu replied with a smile.

"That……"

"Mr. Hu, don't be too polite, let's sit down and eat." Lian Ge felt a little helpless about Hu Xianshou's attentive appearance, so he could only say aloud.

"Okay...Okay, let's eat, eat," Hu Xianshou also realized that he was a little bit overwhelmed, and sat down again in embarrassment, and began to eat sullenly.

……

After a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually returned to normal. Uncle Xu, who was sitting on the other side beside Lian Ge, began to communicate with Lian Ge about the funeral.

"Master Lian, do you want some water this afternoon?"

"Please,"

Lian Ge paused his chopsticks, replied, then turned his head to look at Hu Xianshou,

"Mr. Hu, is there a river around your house?"

"Yes, Master Lian, it's at the entrance of the village." Hu Xianshou quickly responded,

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, then looked at Uncle Xu,

"Uncle Xu, take someone over to have a look later, if possible, then go out at four o'clock in the afternoon to get water."

"Okay, I'll let them get ready."

Lian Ge nodded upon hearing this, then turned back to look at Hu Xianshou,

After a slight pause, he continued:

"Mr. Hu, there is something else I need to tell you."

"Master Lian, tell me."

"According to the custom, the funeral was at least three days old, and the funeral was not held until the morning of the day after tomorrow. But it is summer after all, and the weather is also hot. It has been so many days since your mother passed away. My suggestion is to finish the funeral tonight. He will be cremated tomorrow morning, and he will be buried when he returns from cremation."

"Then follow what Master Lian said."

Hu Xianshou paused, but nodded in response,

Seeing that Hu Xianshou agreed, Lian Ge also nodded, and continued:

"Then there is the matter of the cemetery. Did your mother consider this issue during her lifetime?"

"No." Hu Xianshou shook his head, "She left suddenly, and she never said such a thing before. Maybe you need Master Lian to help you choose one."

"Then after dinner, take me around your field to see if there is anything suitable."

"Okay, I will trouble you, Master Lian..."

……

While eating, arranging some related things.

As soon as the meal was finished, Lian Ge and Uncle Xu set off separately, one to see the cemetery and the other to see the route for getting water.

……

After leaving Hu's house, Lian Ge walked along the ridge to the first field of Hu's house under the guidance of Hu Xianshou.

Scanning the somewhat barren land in front of him, Lian Ge shook his head,

"It won't work here, the atmosphere of the earth is mixed, so it's not suitable as a cemetery."

Although Lian Ge doesn't understand Fengshui, he can directly look at Qi when his sky eyes are open, and he doesn't need to judge whether Fengshui is good or not based on signs.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge glanced around and looked further away,

"Is there any land for your family on the mountain over there?" Lian Ge suddenly paused, pointing to a hill farther away.

"No, Master Lian." Hu Xianshou shook his head, "But my second uncle's house has a piece of land there. If the place is available, I can discuss it with him and exchange it."

"Since there is no one, forget it." Lian Ge shook his head and said, "Where is there, is there any one on that mountain over there?"

Lian Ge pointed to a slightly shorter hill next to him and asked again,

"There is a piece of that mountain, it's on the mountainside." Hu Xianshou responded first, then hesitated a bit, hesitant to speak, "Master Lian, is it..."

"Is it better to have better geomantic omen on that mountain just now?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his head, looked at Hu Xianshou and couldn't help smiling,

"Mr. Hu, I won't lie to you. The Fengshui on the previous mountain is indeed better. However, there are some things that cannot be forced. Fengshui is not so magical, everything is still artificial."

"A peaceful and peaceful resting place might be better for your mother."

Hearing this, Hu Xianshou hesitated for a while in silence, then nodded,

"Then let's listen to Master Lian's arrangement."

Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled and nodded, then walked towards the lower hill behind,

"Let's go and have a look."

Chapter 41

"Just here."

In Kaoshan Village, on the side of a relatively low hill, Lian Ge glanced at the surrounding mountain topography, nodded and said.

"Although it is not a place with excellent Fengshui, it is considered to have good Fengshui and good water. It cannot bring much help to future generations, but at least it will not be a drag."

As he said that, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and looked in front of him,

"What do you think, Mr. Hu?"

"All under your arrangement, Master Lian."

"Well……"

Lian Ge nodded, then walked around the field, drawing a roughly rectangular frame with his feet,

"For the first shovel, you, as a descendant of the Hu family, will dig it. You can shovel it casually in this circle."

"Okay, Master Lian, do you want to shovel now?"

"Shovel it."

Lian Ge confirmed again.

Hearing the sound, Hu Xianshou clenched the round shovel with both hands, bent slightly, and drew a shovel along the boundary line of Lian Ge.

"Pfft..."

The round shovel entered the mud easily, and Hu Xianshou pried up a whole piece of soil and shoveled it to the side.

"Master Lian, do you want to continue?" Hu Xianshou straightened up slightly, holding a round shovel in one hand and asked.

Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head, then squatted down in front of the small hole dug by Hu Xianshou,

"Did you bring the incense wax paper?"

"Bring it..."

Hu Xianshou put down the shovel, picked up the red plastic bag from the side, and handed it to Lian Ge.

Lian Ge stretched out his hand and took out a pair of wax from it, Sanzhuxiang stopped his hand,

"The rest of these fragrant wax papers, you take them outside this circle, in all directions, and light them in every direction."

"Okay, Master Lian." Hu Xianshou nodded, then hesitated a little, and asked,

"Master Lian, is this dedicated to the... lonely souls and wild ghosts around you?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Hu Xianshou, then nodded without saying anything.

Hu Xianshou also seemed to understand instantly, and began to light incense and wax around while holding the plastic bag.

Shaking his head, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and looked at the newly dug hole in front of him again.

Looking at the lingering, winding and rising earth qi above it,

Lian Ge held the three sticks of incense with both hands, turned them over, and the incense spontaneously ignited instantly, and three wisps of green smoke drifted out from it.

"Pfft..."

With a flick of Singer Lian, the three sticks of incense were inserted straight into the center of the small hole, and at the same time there was a sound of discouragement.

But in Lian Getian's eyes, the earth qi lingering from the small pit began to turn into a trickle, slowly flowing into the entire rectangular frame,

Going forward, the earth energy seemed to be blocked by something, and it no longer spread outside the frame.

Scanning the gradually thickening earth atmosphere in his eye circles, Lian Ge picked up the two candles as before, flipped his hands over, and the candles were instantly lit, and two clusters of flames danced on the candles.

"Bah..."

Hold the two candles in both hands and shake them, and the candles are inserted straight into the two opposite corners of the rectangular frame just drawn.

After glancing at the three sticks of incense and the two waxes, Lian Ge stepped out of the frame,

"Mr. Hu, after a while the incense and wax are burned out, then call someone to dig it."

Lian Ge looked aside, burning paper money, bowing to Hu Xianshou who was surrounded by him,

"But remember, before the scented wax is burned out, you must not break the ground, and you must not let people enter the circle again.

In addition, let the grave diggers try to dig along the circle just drawn, and don't go beyond that line. "

"Okay, I understand, Master Lian." Hu Xianshou turned around and said solemnly,

"I'll send Master Lian you back first, and then I'll come over and watch over you."

"No, you just stay here." Lian Ge shook his head,

"I know the way, just go back by yourself."

"That……"

Hu Xianshou looked at Lian Ge, then at the burning scented wax inside and outside the eye frame, hesitated for a while, but nodded,

"Master Lian, be careful, the mountain road is difficult."

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked down the mountain.

Hu Xianshou, on the other hand, stopped in place, and waited until Lian Ge's figure disappeared completely, then turned around and continued to squat outside the circle, burning the unfinished paper money,

"All uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles, big brothers and sisters... These are all for you, you can spend them..."

"...My mother will settle down here in the future, I hope you will take care of me..."

Hu Xianshou glanced at the empty surroundings, murmured in a low voice, looking back from time to time, and looked back at Lian Ge who had lit three sticks of incense and two sticks of wax before.

"Uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles... I am from the village of Guashan. Speaking of which, we are all relatives. Don't scare me."

As soon as Lian Ge left, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

It was clearly noon, and there was still a fire in front of him, but he still felt a little cold.

"Whoo~"

Suddenly, a gust of wind picked up, sweeping the ashes of the paper money in front of Hu Xianshou and blowing it into the distance.

This gust of wind scared Hu Xianshou so much that he almost jumped up, but he subconsciously looked back at the two candles,

Seeing the candles lit by the two Lian Ge, the two clusters of flames were flickering, as if they would be blown out by the wind in an instant.
