Chapter 831

Of course, Li Fugui is not in a hurry to die. He hasn't lived enough. He has given birth to a new son in the past two years. He feels that the whole person is much younger.

He was simply afraid that he would be burned by Li Tiezhu in the future. For old school people like him, of course, he wanted to settle down.

After entering the earth, we should bless our children and grandchildren backstage. Can we bless them when they burn to ashes?

He didn't know and didn't want to try.

The article transferred by wechat friends said that people are conscious within a few hours after death, and it should be very painful to burn.

After dinner, Li Fugui took his second and third children around the mountain and asked them to help him find cypress trees. He wanted to buy a coffin and make it himself.

There are many pines and cypresses in the mountains, but there are not many cypresses that grow well.

On Li Tiezhu's side, they have time to eat after everyone has finished eating.

It's an extremely hard job to hold a Baba banquet. It's hard for the chef, and it's even harder for the Kitchen helpers.

Because the chef does technical work, but the helpers do all manual work.

After dinner, I can't rest. I have to clean up the table, wash dishes, chopsticks, pots and so on. After three o'clock, I have to start preparing the ingredients and dishes for dinner.

It's 9:00 p.m. after dinner. It's not over yet. I have to prepare steamed vegetables for the next day.

Fortunately, you don't have to stay up all night today.

At 11 pm, Li Tiezhu and the artists returned to their hometown "mansion" and had a drink with the three brothers Li Fugui.

There are three big cypress trees in the yard. Li Tiezhu understood as soon as he entered the house.

Therefore, when Li Fugui said he wanted to make a coffin, Li Tiezhu didn't say anything. Li Fugui spoiled Li Tiezhu since childhood. Now, Li Tiezhu is also tolerant to the old man.

Li Tiezhu ate peanuts and said, "I'll buy you some more nanmu! Nanmu and cypress together."

Li Fugui was overjoyed: "then don't use cypress, pure nanmu. These cypresses make a prescription (coffin) for the second child."

This man

After drinking wine, Li Fugui took the stairs and went to the attic to rummage through the boxes and cabinets. Finally, he found the thumb thick rope, green steel and wood lifting rod and wooden pestle.

Chen Chichi and others are stunned. What is this? Are you going to pick corn?

Nie Yao thumbed up: "brother Li is professional!"

Li Fugui tried to lift the pole, but he was still very strong. He said, "that must be thiamine. Otherwise, you think I'm coming back for dry dinner?"

Li Tiezhu also knew what Li Fugui was going to do, and worried, "your waist..."

Li Fugui waved his hand: "I've raised it in the past two years, or I'll have an iron egg?"

Aunt Liu with a baby next to her: "bah!"

Li Fugui smiled: "Hey, hey... Don't worry! When I lift the coffin tomorrow, I'll take the light head. They bear the weight. I'm angry. I'm mainly the leader shouting. Hey! The people in the village are old and dead. The young don't understand. Lao Jiu can only invite me back."

When he was young, Li Fugui was one of the best porters in eight villages in ten miles. Like masons, blacksmiths, bricklayers and carpenters, he was a professional in rural areas. Two people carried pigs, four people carried sedans, eight people carried coffins and 16 people carried stones. Li Fugui led 32 builders in the village to carry more than half a ton of keel stones for the major project of repairing the reservoir.

In such a big mountain, the porter is more powerful than any machine. They climb mountains and mountains like walking on the ground.

Li Tiezhu couldn't help saying, "the more you go back, the fewer craftsmen you carry. Maybe you'll disappear. Old man, when you hang up, you probably won't have to carry a craftsman."

Li Fugui was stunned. This is a big problem.

Iron pillar will, but I haven't heard of my son carrying me

The next day, five o'clock.

Li Tiezhu and Nie Yao took the cameraman to Laojiu's house to visit the old man's funeral.

The others were not interested and slept at home. After all, they were tired yesterday.

In fact, Li Tiezhu didn't want to come, but he was afraid of something wrong with the old man's waist in the process of lifting, so he had to get up early and follow him.

When the program was broadcast here, a rare narrator was used:

"After obtaining the permission of the host's family, the program team was allowed to shoot the mountain climbing ceremony of the deceased. The funeral in southern Sichuan has its own characteristics, many rules and great attention, and the most distinctive is the coffin lifter and their chants. Li Fugui, Li Tiezhu's father, is the most famous lifter in the region."

On the last night of the mourning, the family members did not sleep and gathered together to guard the last day for the elderly.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, he began to withdraw from the mourning hall. Next, he looked at the remains, which was also the last meeting between the dead and their families in his life.

You can touch the body, but don't shed tears on the body. The helper will check whether the body is fixed in the middle of the coffin again. The distance between the nose and toes of the deceased and the coffin plates on both sides is the same. Fix the head and feet of the body firmly with tiles and paper money, and then cover several layers of life quilts. The coffin will be nailed after the family members have seen it.

After the coffin is covered, master Yin and Yang will be mourning. Mr. Yin and Yang leads his family around the coffin in turn. Each person holds a incense in his hand, turns around and bows, and follows master Yin and yang to chant mournful Songs:

"I'm sorry for my father, the heavenly sun, I'm sorry for giving birth to me..."

After the funeral, you have to ask for funeral, which is also called opening the way. Ask the mountain god land for instructions to open the way. This is to prepare for the funeral. Yin and Yang will use a big rooster to do it during the funeral, then light the chicken crown blood before and after the coffin, stick the chicken feathers, and tie the chicken to the coffin.

Then, eight lifters came up to set up lifting rods, one long, short, vertical and horizontal. Finally, they divided the weight into eight lifters.

Li Fugui presided over it personally and took eight lifters in place. Each lifter carried a lifting rod on his shoulder and a one meter three wooden pestle in his hand. It was the tool used to support the lifting rod during rest. After all... The coffin can't fall to the ground.

At this time, it was just dawn. Master Yin and Yang gave a bowl of water to his family. No one drank. He took a firewood cutting knife and knocked it on the lid of the coffin. Please finish the funeral and go out to the mountain.

In southern Sichuan, the process of carrying the elderly to the funeral after death is called going up the mountain. The main person to complete this work is the porter.

Before the serious start, Li Fugui's face was wrong when he was trying his strength.

Shit!

I shouldn't have spent the whole night with Mrs. ha... My waist hurts!

This is absolutely impossible to lift.

Fortunately, Li Tiezhu was watching the excitement. This baby was raised by Li Fugui. He can lift people up the mountain. At least it is more reliable than several other non professional lifting craftsmen.

Li Fugui called Li Tiezhu: "I'm suffering from a pain in my back."

Without saying a word, Tiezhu took over the old man's pole, and Li Fugui ordered him to say a few more words.

The porter also shouts the trumpet while lifting. The trumpet can be fast or slow. It changes according to whether the road is flat or steep. This is a kind of trumpet with command significance, which requires the accumulation of experience.

Aunt Liu, who also mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement, blushed inexplicably.

The people who helped in the funeral procession took the spirit room and all funeral items to the front. They had to sprinkle paper money and insert a incense on the paper money. This was to buy road money for the land father-in-law and set off firecrackers all the way. After that, Xiaonan and his eldest grandson, dressed in hemp and filial piety, walked in front of the coffin, followed by their families and other funeral personnel.

Li Tiezhu didn't lift it, but he was also clear from childhood. He immediately shouted at the top of his voice:

"The ancients said, Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall. When Lao Zhang carried the craftsman for several yuan, he brought out his disciples to do this."

The other seven porters shouted together, "Hi, Zuo ~"

This is the narration of the program:

"Craftsman lifting, an ancient profession with a history of more than 2000 years, is withdrawing from the stage of history. Li Tiezhu is perhaps the youngest craftsman lifting. The name of craftsman lifting in southern Sichuan has been selected as the world intangible cultural heritage. The rural roads in southern Sichuan are rugged, with many curves, narrow roads and inconvenient traffic, resulting in multi person cooperation and overall force. Using the principle of mechanics, the tools will be used to carry all the workers The weight of lifting objects is evenly divided into each person's shoulders. It develops from at least two people to many people, up to 128 people. The weight of the objects carried is up to two tons. It combines strong physical labor with folk songs, and calls for unified action and coordinated steps, which produces the work lifting call. "

Li Tiezhu led the song: "Hi, Zuo!"

The lifters shouted, "Hi Zuo, hey Zuo... Hi Zuo!!!"

With strong and neat footsteps, the coffin was lifted, and eight people carried it through the curved bamboo path.

Lingsong: "just go!"

The crowd shouted, "just come!"

Lingsong: "the sky is bright!"

The crowd shouted: "water on the ground, Taipa!"

Lingsong: "there is a bag in front!"

The crowd shouted: "the back foot is raised!"

Although Li Fugui withdrew temporarily, he still walked in front of the coffin carrying team and was responsible for reminding Li Tiezhu to control the rhythm.

On the whole, it was quite smooth. It was not how well Li Tiezhu performed, but the road chosen by the host was very good. There was no particularly difficult road except a hillside, so there was no big challenge. You know, some coffin carrying teams have to climb cliffs, cross single wooden bridges and other special roads.

While shouting the trumpet, the porter rhythmically shook the coffin up and down. The flower rack and rooster on the coffin also nodded. When the coffin walked a distance, it would stop, which is called digging earth.

Set off firecrackers every time they stop. The mourners have to kneel down until the lifter starts. The coffin can't fall to the ground from being buried to being buried until it is carried to the grave.

Barrage:

"That's how the rural funeral was carried?"

"The mountain area is the most difficult. Xichuan is famous for carrying craftsmen."

"The program team has worked hard..."

"This number is still a little good! No wonder you can apply for the world heritage."

"Oh Huo primitive man" has been made into a Chinese folk culture program. Praise it! "

"It's said that Li Tiezhu is a music family. Do you believe it now?"

"Not to mention, few rural people under the age of 40 can sing the work chant now."

"There are many kinds of work chants, and they sing different things."

"I just paused and listened to Li Tiezhu's version of happy birthday to you, huh..."

"Ha ha ha..."

"Look alike!"

"Li Tiezhu: art comes from life."

Half an hour later, the funeral procession came to the long repaired grave.

Lingsong: "just go!"

The crowd shouted: "don't shout!"

Lingsong: "come when you shout!"

The crowd shouted, "carry it when you come!"

"Hey, Sasa, hey, Sasa, hey, Sasa, hey, Sasa, hey, Sasa, Sasa, Sasa..."

The sound of the trumpet goes from high to low until it stops.

Correspondingly, the coffin was perfectly parked in the tomb.
