After returning from Jincheng to rest for a few days, Chang Qing received a call asking her to go to a certain community to help with the burial.

When Chang Qing arrived, he found that it was an old couple.

Chang Qing saw that the two of them had red circles in their eyes, remembered that they were talking on the phone that the child was gone, and said, "Please mourn the two of you." ”

The man was probably really sad, and after saying hello, he went back to the room.

The old lady stiffened a polite smile, "I'll trouble you next." ”

"I did my best. ”

The old lady took her to another room, where there was only a golden retriever lying on the bed, "Please help our son tidy up, the coffin is ready." ”

Chang Qing didn't expect that the child they were talking about would be a big golden retriever.

She knew that there were animal mortuaries and the income was quite high.

However, she had never taken over the burial service for her pets before.

Generally, customers who need to bury their pets will call the pet mortuary, who has a special company or studio and a complete set of processes.

She knows those processes, the sense of ritual is very heavy, and customers will have a sense of respect that their pets are treated well.

If she is the owner of her pet, she also likes to say goodbye to her pet with such a dignified and ceremonial feeling.

Chang Qing felt that he needed to make it clear to the old man, so as not to sprinkle salt on the other party's wound again, "Hello, I have never buried a pet, do you want to invite a special pet mortuary to come? They will do better than me." ”

"We believe you can do a good job. Seeing her so honest, the smile on the old lady's face became much more real.

Chang Qing nodded hesitantly and began to bury his pet.

The old lady sat beside her, watching her movements, her gaze gradually becoming distant and hollow.

"Thirteen years ago, my son was in a car accident and his body was broken, and at that time he was not old enough to be buried for my son, no matter how much we begged them to come. Later, I found Xiao Chang's phone, and when my wife and I contacted him, it was already the middle of the night, and he came over as soon as he heard about the situation. ”

Chang Qing's hand paused, "Do you know my dad?"

The old lady nodded slowly, "My wife and I made an appointment to let him bury us in the future, but I didn't expect him to go one step ahead of us." ”

Chang Qing continued his hand movements in silence.

The old lady seemed to open the conversation, "After my son left, we raised Da Mao, but I didn't expect that in the end we would send it away." ”

"You mourn. ”

"Don't comfort me, my wife and I are thinking very openly. When the child is still there, he worries about the child vigorously. The child is gone, life suddenly loses its focus, and I follow the advice of others to get a pet. Raising it as a child, taking it with you wherever you go, reluctant to foster it, for fear that others will not take care of it. We thought that we would not have pets after sending Da Mao away, so we looked around while our hands and feet were still neat, and saw all the world that our son had not seen. ”

"It's great that you two think so. ”

"It's all in tears. ”

Chang Qing didn't know how to comfort him, and in the face of death, no matter how nice words of comfort he heard, it was in vain.

Death has become an established fact.

She suddenly felt a feeling of weakness and even numbness.

The old lady kept watching Chang Qing go into the coffin, and finally the two of them hugged the golden retriever and put it in the coffin.

The moment the coffin was closed, tears rained down.

Chang Qing had been accompanying the two old men until the staff of the funeral home came to pick up the golden retriever, and when she left, the old lady looked at her earnestly and asked, "Child, your number won't be changed, right?"

"No, it won't. ”

"Is it okay for me and my wife to set your number as an emergency contact?"

Chang Qing paused and nodded heavily, "You two can call me at any time, and if I can't help, I'll ask a friend to help." ”

"I don't need to help. As you can see, we are old, and we don't know when we will leave, and you will be sure to give us our last ride when the time comes. We don't know who to ask for, and if one of us leaves, there will be no one left to stay with. The old lady choked up again, "We are not afraid of death, but we are afraid that we will not be able to go together." ”

"I will, don't worry. ”

When Chang Qing came out of the old man's house, he took a deep breath of fresh air, and still felt an indescribable feeling in his chest.

When will we look at death again, can we not be so solemn and fearful?

How many people can she help by herself?

Even if it is to make them less uneasy in the face of death, and feel a little more at ease when they encounter white things?

......

Lu Mingzhan threw the two large bags of snacks and fruits he brought from home onto Zhang Xuan's table.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback by his movements, and immediately became energetic when he saw the food.

Lu Mingzhan was shocked by the dark circles under his eyes, "What's your situation? You don't have to work overtime recently, what do you do like a national treasure every day?"

Zhang Xuan said while eating: "Liu Yuan's case is about to be judged, and there is still a situation that is not clear. ”

"Huh?"

"You said that the bracelet worth more than 400,000 yuan could not be found. ”

"Didn't you say that Ms. Liu Shu sent it?"

"I checked, there is no courier number. ”

Lu Mingzhan thought of the Cartier bracelet that had appeared on Chang Qing's hand, and he said, "I probably know whose bracelet it is." ”

"Who's?"

"I went out for a trip, and the director came to help me talk to him. Lu Mingzhan threw down this sentence and went out.

Chang Qing was in a daze when he heard a horn downstairs, and it sounded very rhythmically.

She got up hand and foot, walked to the window, and saw Lu Mingzhan waving at her, and immediately stopped sleepy.

She washed her face and went downstairs to open the door.

Lu Mingzhan saw her coming down in pajamas, and couldn't help but be a little funny, "It's good to see the opposite sex, so you wear it like this?"

"You've seen me look even uglier. ”

"That's right. Lu Mingzhan took a breakfast from the co-pilot and gave it to her.

Chang Qing was a little overwhelmed by him, and took the breakfast with a blushing face, "You made a special trip to bring me breakfast?"

"Impressed?"

"A little. ”

"Did I wake you up?"

Changqing scratched his hair, "How do I answer?"

"That's noisy. Lu Mingzhan took out his mobile phone and pulled out the bracelet that Liu Yuan was wearing, "Do you know this bracelet?"

Chang Qing took a closer look, and then his expression paused, "It's very similar to one of my bracelets." ”

"Can you show me?"

"It's gone. Can I go and see the real thing?" Chang Qing couldn't understand why Lu Mingzhan had a photo of her bracelet.

Is it really like Sister Sasha said that he took the bracelet?

Chang Qing rejected this idea from her mind, she didn't believe that Lu Mingzhan was such a person.

"You go upstairs to change your clothes, and I'll take you there. ”

Chang Qing went upstairs to wash his face and change his clothes, and after a few bites of breakfast, he ran downstairs.
