C83 (1/2)

Lin Zhishu had brought some necessities for the funeral, but there were some large items such as wood and such that couldn't be brought along, but all of these were not a problem. It was easy to find wood in the Baroda.

The Lin Zhishu made a list of items to be prepared and gave it to Kieran.

As Kieran was driving away, I jumped into the car and said to her with a smile, ”I'll go with you!”

Unexpectedly, Kieran didn't even turn her head as she said, ”Go down!”

I knew she was still mad at me, so I began to play the fool. I said I didn't trust you to go out by yourself, and I could do you a favor.

She said if you don't go down, I'll hit the wall in my car, and neither of us will live!

I thought to myself, good guy, this temper of his is really strong, but I like it like this, hehe …

I thought about it. ”How about this, since you hate me so much, I won't ride in the car, I'll sit in the car, what do you say?”

This time, Kieran did not refuse, and only said two words: ”Up to you!”

Hearing her say that, I was very happy, because since she agreed to let me sit here, it means that she has already forgiven me. It seems that this little girl is still very easy to coax.

So I got out of the car and jumped straight into the truck.

But what happened next was beyond my expectations, who knew that before I could sit still, Kieran suddenly stepped on the throttle of the car and flipped me over, heavily smashing me onto the ground and stirring up a layer of dust, causing me to grimace in pain.

Through the mirror, I could see Kieran in the driver's seat covering her mouth and laughing. She quickly drove the Ford Raptor pickup truck and disappeared from my sight.

I sat on the ground and held onto my butt that had almost been smashed into eight pieces, and only after recovering from the shock after a long while did I slowly stand up. Although my butt was in extreme pain from the fall, my heart was elated because I saw Kieran smile, and it was for me.

After returning to the house, I chatted with the Lin Zhishu, Da Jian and the others for a while. As they didn't sleep well that night, I got my wife to arrange a room for them.

With Second Uncle's House so large, there is no lack of rooms, so Da Jian and Lin Zhishu have arranged a private room for each of us. Before going to bed, Lin Zhishu told me to call him at four in the afternoon.

Kieran was rather efficient at handling affairs, she already prepared everything by noon, but she still remained stern and silent when she saw me.

Around 3pm in the afternoon, Lin Zhishu and Da Jian didn't even need me to call out to them before they woke up themselves. The few of us started to unload the carriage, and then came to the courtyard.

While doing this, I went over to Lin Zhishu and whispered, ”Second Master, I need to discuss something with you. You can teach me later and I will do it tonight. I want to show off my skills in front of them.

Lin Zhishu rolled his eyes at me and said, ”Not at all! You want to fly without even learning to leave? Aren't you afraid of getting screwed!? Besides, how could he treat such matters as child's play? I don't even dare to be a hundred percent sure and you dare to mess around? ”

The Lin Zhishu scolded me like a cannonball for a long time. Da Jian also advised me that now is not the time, I want to learn things. I will slowly learn from the Second Master in the future.

When I called Lin Zhishu to come over, I had thought it through. When the Lin Zhishu came, he would be the one to teach me behind the scenes, and I would have to help him treat his illness, and the reason why I did that was simply to show off in front of Kieran and Samit. Now, it seems that I was too naive at the time, and the Lin Zhishu was right.

After the coffin was completed, Lin Zhishu wrote a large ”Life” character on it with a brush. The handwriting was firm and strong, definitely not inferior to the calligraphers.

The Lin Zhishu said, ”Monks recite scriptures, Taoists draw talismans, and know how to write. If one is unable to write well, how can one do wrong for the bereaved?”

After writing on the coffin, I spread out the inside with yellow satin and quilt before putting it back on the pillow. I asked him what was so special about this. It looked quite abstruse.

Lin Zhishu explained as he laid down a blanket, ”Nothing special and comfortable. Come, give me a hand and help me pull that end.”

I helped Lin Zhishu arrange the coffins together, and then Da Jian and the rest of us brought Second Uncle out of the house and put him in the coffin. We drove towards the Yamuna River, and when we arrived there, I saw that it was still as dirty and messy as before.

The next thing he needed to do was to unload the goods. He needed to use a wooden stake to set up the ”cross street” funeral shed, and Lin Zhishu was even using a compass to measure it. Every time a direction was measured, he would change the direction of the window until he was satisfied.

All the things that Kieran had prepared were put to good use. Lin Zhishu ordered for the funeral procession to be hung on the shed and the paper house.

Second Uncle was wearing his birthday suit, and his face was painted with extremely colorful and comical colors. However, I couldn't laugh at all, so I suppressed my emotions.
