Through negotiations between the police handling the case, the driver of the car accident and the insurance company, Chen Dexiu was compensated for the funeral expenses of 35,000 yuan for the porcelain accident. After getting the relevant fees, Chen Long went to the hospital in time to complete all the procedures. Chen Dexiu's body was dragged to the crematorium to prepare for cremation the next day......

After an accidental fall half a year ago, her mother suffered a stroke in the brain and suffered a stroke on the left side of her body, and she could no longer walk upright.

Although he has very little affection for Chen Dexiu, he is the other half of his life after all. Now that there are no people all of a sudden, it may be a relief for Chen Dexiu, but her mother still makes her feel very disappointed, and the blow is still very big. In recent years, Chen Dexiu has been chased by creditors many times because of debts, especially the day before when he suddenly drove someone back to move things, and then was seriously injured and sent to the hospital, and now he died suddenly...... The mother just sat in a wheelchair and watched coldly without saying a word, which shows that she has already seen through his heart for his extreme irresponsibility to the family for many years, and the retribution for the consequences of all kinds of bad behaviors......

If Chen Dexiu dies in the village, he may be buried in a coffin according to the traditional ceremony. But now, it can only be cremated. It was impossible for her mother to let her go to the scene to participate, so Chen Long and the eldest sister took turns to comfort her.

The younger brother Chen Gang and the fifth sister were notified by phone in time to rush back from the provincial capital, and they stayed up all night with their mother last night. I was busy with a lot of preparations at home early this morning......

Chen Long and a few cousins in the neighborhood cooked two simple meals at home, burned incense paper in front of their ancestors and ancestors, and toasted the rice. So he took two children and worship supplies, and squeezed into two vans with his cousins and rushed straight to the county crematorium......

Of course, the streets and buildings of the small county town are incomparable with the provincial capital, but the mountains and water here are good, and the air is fresh. According to Fang Qingfang's request, Li Feng drove around this small county town last night. I walked along a small river on the outskirts of the county, and I didn't return to the city until about 8 p.m. After eating the county's special supper together, I went back to the hotel to rinse and go to bed early.

Go to bed early and wake up early. I don't know if it was because I was too tired from driving yesterday or if the air here was good, both of them slept soundly last night and slept until dawn.

Li Feng had already gotten up, washed his face and brushed his teeth and packed his suitcase, but Fang Qingfang was still lying on the bed and didn't want to get up. Sideways, his hands tightly hugged the white futon, and his eyes looked at Li Feng in a daze, motionless.

"Hehe, Qingfang, do you regret divorcing Wang Dong now? I miss the feeling of sleeping with him in my arms, right? I see that you are reluctant to let go of holding the quilt as if you were holding your husband! What are you thinking about in a daze?" Li Feng deliberately wanted to stimulate her.

"Cut, don't mention this scum to me! Just him, it's worth my regret and nostalgia? Even if all the men in the world are dead, I can't remarry him! In this life, I don't expect to meet any good man, so it's better to live with a quilt as a husband than to find someone I don't like! If you don't agree with each other, you don't have a common language, you have different dreams in the same bed, and even you calculate me, I count you, and I don't dare to have a quarrel at two ends for three days!"

"Hehe Fang Qingfang, don't pretend to be high, can you live without a man in this life? ”

"No! I'd rather be lacking than overuse! I've been bitten by a snake for ten years and I'm afraid of grass ropes! Li Feng, let's think about yourself, if you don't find someone to marry, I think your old aunt is about to become a 'Monkey King'! Haha......

"Even if I become the 'Monkey King', I am better than you, after all, I am still the original and unopened. And you're all second-hand now, hehe...... So you are my lesson from the past, I must keep my eyes open when looking for a partner, and I must succeed once and cannot fail, just like you said, 'Rather lack than excess'!"

"It seems that your thoughts coincide with mine. Today I am going to make a wish to your brother when I worship him, and I hope that he will bless me with the spirit of heaven and fulfill my wish as soon as possible. ”

"Then why don't you get up quickly and go to worship him early......" Li Feng's eyes glared at her, urging.

"Oh......" Fang Qingfang seemed to be energetic all of a sudden, and almost threw the quilt she was holding under the bed and jumped off the bed.

After washing and cleaning up, the two went to the hotel breakfast room for a simple breakfast. After asking people, I drove to the place where the sacrificial offerings were sold, bought some incense, candles, paper and other offerings, and drove to the funeral cemetery by car......

The crematorium is located on the outskirts of the county, covering an area of dozens of acres and surrounded by red brick walls. The three-story old building is the office of the staff, and a few pine trees with green and fine leaves are planted at the bottom of the building, and the roots of the trees are surrounded by bricks, and the top is full of fertile soil. The old and even somewhat damaged cement road leads to the crematorium more than 200 meters away......

Chen Long completed all the formalities and paid all the fees according to the procedure, and then took the two children and a dozen people who came together to make a final salute and farewell ceremony to the body in the farewell hall. The staff pulled Chen Dexiu's body into the crematorium for cremation......

Crematoriums are not ordinary places, they are the places that people are most taboo to talk about and even more to visit. The people who appeared inside were either staff members or family members who came to the funeral. In twos and threes, everyone was serious and didn't say a word. From time to time, the sound of birds chirping can be heard, and no one can be heard, and occasionally it is whispered. The breeze gently blows on people's faces, making people feel a burst of coolness.

One of the most conspicuous tall chimneys on the crematorium was rising a thick white smoke, drifting along the wind to the distant sky. It is conceivable that Chen Dexiu's body at this time should have been burned in the flames......

A person's life is nothing more than a few decades of life, from birth to death, many people can almost imagine. There is a way that is born involuntarily, and the path is chosen by itself. Why do people live, and what do people live for? This is a question that everyone has asked and asked themselves, but the answer is different for everyone. Since ancient times, who has not died in life? We ordinary people have basically come to the world in obscurity, and then left this world in obscurity and quiet. Of course, there are many people who can make people remember for a thousand years, but there are also some people who are morally corrupt and have done evil deeds for thousands of years...... Chen Dexiu is almost a lone gangster who has abandoned his family and children, and has been in the society for decades in what he thinks is the best. It was only before his death that he completely denied everything he had done before...... It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and his life is over in the last infinite regret and self-blame......

The cremation went smoothly, and in less than two hours, the staff processed Chen Dexiu's ashes into boxes and handed them over to Chen Long. As the eldest son, Chen Long carefully held the urn tightly in his arms. Squeezed into the van, I had to temporarily pull the urn to the cemetery columbarium for storage, and wait for time to proceed to the next step.

Of course, before being stored in the columbarium, it is necessary to pay solemn respects in a designated open-air place outside the hall according to the procedures and ceremonies......

After all, it was too long and no one came to worship, Li Fengfang and Qingfang were in the cemetery office, and after several twists and turns, they found out the location of the "elder brother's" grave through detailed inquiries. She completed the formalities, paid the fee, and went to look for her accompanied by the office staff. It took a while to find the grave of the "elder brother".

The grave is located in a remote corner of the cemetery, and the lush weeds grow tall and thick, covering the grave tightly. Li Feng looked at the tomb that had not been worshiped for more than 20 years, and was so desolate and lonely that the wind and rain were blowing...... Infinite grief suddenly welled up in my heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

The office staff was still very enthusiastic, and helped remove the weeds before leaving first, leaving the two of them to worship.

Li Feng found a handful of weeds and grabbed a ball of weeds, and wiped the moss off the tombstone vigorously, only to see the inscription "Li Long's Tomb", and at the bottom was a string of numbers "1992.5.16...... In an instant, she hugged the tombstone and cried bitterly, and her mouth involuntarily called:

"Brother, sister, I've come to visit you...... Why does the heavens hate you so much to take you out of my world? I hope there will be no more storms in heaven, and you won't drown again......"

Seeing this, Fang Qingfang hurriedly walked to her side to support her, and she also shed tears of grief.

Li Feng's mind at this time began to emerge with the scene when his brother was lost, his crying face, and the picture of him drowning and struggling...... I really hope that time can be turned back, she is willing to accompany him at all costs, save him, and even be willing to exchange her life for his survival! Yes, the reality is too cruel, fate seems to be playing tricks on people, stripping away the days of the world that originally belonged to them......

Fang Qingfang took out a pack of tissues from her small backpack and smoked a few to help Li Feng wipe her tears, and the scenes of playing together when she was a child also continued to appear in her memory......

It took some time to stabilize and adjust their mentality, and the two of them cooperated to set up the offerings, light the incense and candles, kneel down and fold their hands and began to worship reverently. After a while, the two involuntarily hugged each other and silently shed tears...... After that, the two comforted each other and helped each other wipe their tears and stand up.

Looking at the burning incense, the two stood in front of the tomb in silence for a long time. It wasn't until the incense burned out and turned into dust that the two of them reluctantly left after a few steps......

The emotions of worrying about longing were well released and cathartic, and the emotions of the two people slowly calmed down. On the way back, the two looked much more relaxed and happy, and began to communicate verbally.

"Li Feng, do you remember, when we were children, we used to play with your brother. At that time, your brother was very kind to me, and always brought me good food to eat, and said that I would be his bride, and when I grew up, he would marry me as his wife......"

"Haha......" Li Feng, who had been tied his face before, finally laughed out loud.

"Of course I do, and I'll teach him how to please you......! Qingfang, do you know, I was your bridesmaid on the day you got married. I remember when you exchanged rings with Wang Dong and worshipped each other, I was standing on the sidelines thinking about the family we played with my brother when we were children. At that moment, how I wished that Wang Dong was my brother Li Long...... In this life, just such a good sister as you, what I hope most is that you can be my sister-in-law!"

"Hehe, you're just thinking about the fat water not flowing into the fields of outsiders!"

"Haha...... Absolutely!"

......

When passing by the open-air worship venue of the columbarium, Fang Qingfang, who was far away, pulled Li Feng with her hand and stopped, her eyes fixed on the people worshipping in front of her.

"Li Feng, do you think there is a person over there who is quite familiar?" Fang Qingfang asked with a finger pointing at the people who were worshipping.

Li Feng looked at her hand, she glanced at it and replied, "No, I don't see anyone familiar with me." ”

"Don't you think that the person at the front is very similar to the Liang Wenku who went on a blind date the day before yesterday?"

According to what Fang Qingfang said, Li Feng carefully identified it again: "Well, it's a little familiar...... But it's just an elephant, how could it be him?"

"I think it's him, Liang Wenku! Fang Qingfang replied in the affirmative.

Li Feng was so surprised that he looked at her with his mouth half open: "Qingfang, no, a little blind date, it seems that it really made you unrelenting! Liang Wenku, Liang Wenku, you told me yesterday that you saw him! It seems that when you see someone you are familiar with, you think it is him." ”

"Shhhh ”

Fang Qingfang made a quiet gesture to Li Feng: "Let's just stand here and observe for a while." ”

Chen Long, who was busy worshipping, also noticed Fang Qingfang and Li Feng who were standing in the distance and watching. He had always been in a solemn mood, but after seeing the two of them, his heart began to mess up again! There was a series of doubts in his mind...... What the hell is going on, how did these two guys end up here? Could it be that they are following him here? What the hell do they want?

After worshipping for a short time, after burning the incense candles and paper money, Chen Longqin carefully put the urn into the columbarium and stored it. When he came out, he noticed that the two of them had been standing from afar watching him......

He didn't dare to look at them directly, and pretended not to know each other, and went about his business silently. Until the end, Chen Long got into the van with his two children and left in a hurry......

Looking at the shadow of the car in the distance, Fang Qingfang's heart felt as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle...... It was so incomprehensible that she should meet him again here! In the past few days, this person has appeared in front of her eyes constantly, but each time in a different capacity...... What kind of person was he? If it weren't for such a special place, if it weren't for the fact that there was a group of people around him, she really wanted to rush up and question him fiercely, and she had to find out about him! She noticed that he was secretly watching and paying attention to them just now, and he was panicking, but he pretended not to know him! This person was now beginning to be fascinated in her heart, which made her even more curious......

"Qingfang, everyone got in the car and left, what are you doing standing here stupidly?" Li Feng pushed Fang Qingfang, who was still looking at him in a daze, "Do you really confirm that he is the Liang Wenku who went on a blind date with you that day?"

"Don't you think it's him?" Fang Qingfang asked rhetorically.

"I'm not sure, but I think it's a bit like that. ”

"It's him, it's wrong!" Fang Qingfang said with certainty, "But I wonder, why is he here?"

"Is someone in his family who has passed away, don't you see the urn he personally carried, this deceased person should have a lot to do with him!"

"Well, I think too. Who is in his family? Could it be his wife? Look at those two children, it feels like they are his children. ”

"Yes, those two children should be his. Qingfang, just tell me the truth, do you really like people? I think you have always been soulless. ”

"Hehe, Jane is a big joke, it will never be! He and we are two people from completely different worlds, completely incompatible with each other! Besides, there are two children! But no matter what, I always feel that this person is really strange, and I have met him several times in the past few days, and I just want to find out his identity, otherwise I will be unwilling and uncomfortable!"
