Chapter 6 Burning the Head VII
The cold moon hangs high, cold as frost.
In the dark, Xiao Wan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly wrinkled her brows.
"Daddy...... Come back soon, my mother is still waiting for you at home, don't leave me, I'm so scared alone. ”
"Xiao Wan ~ Xiao Wan, wake up quickly, Xiao Wan, Tiancheng gently pushed his sleeping sister. ”
Xiao Wan woke up from the nightmare, broke open her eyes, and looked around blankly. Strange place, familiar people, when they came here, they were still father and daughter, but now only their brother and sister are left, looking at each other......
"Brother, where is this?" Xiao Wan looked at this strange thatched house, an ever-bright lamp next to the table emitted a miserable white and cold light, three high incense sticks were inserted in the incense burner, and in front of the table was the father's tablet, and snacks and fruits were placed in front of the spiritual seat.
"You woke up Xiaowan, this is a thatched house that my father set up in advance before his death. Dad knew that he was going to die, so Dad took care of everything behind him in advance. ”
Tiancheng then told his father what he said to him a few days ago, and told his sister in detail.
Xiao Wan listened to her brother's story, sighed softly, and her eyes were red, "Alas, poor dad is shrewd for half a lifetime, but he ended up like this before leaving." What can future generations do when they become emperors? What can they do when they become princesses? In the end, they are not all the same, just burying themselves in a handful of loess, it is better to live happily as a family. ”
"Poor mother is still in the dark at home, looking forward to you and your father coming home soon. ”
"Xiaowan, the matter has come to this, we can't change everything that is happening in front of us, the top priority is to take care of my father's funeral. ”
"Take care of your mother after you go back, and I'll send you down the mountain after dawn." ”
"I'm here for my father's filial piety for seven days, and on the sixth day, you come here again for one night, and we will burn my father's head seven, and I will pick you up at the bottom of the mountain at that time." ”
"Hmm" Xiao Wan looked at her brother, her eyes were a little red......
"Xiaowan, let's sleep for a while, the sky will be bright soon, don't be too haggard, so as not to let my mother see what is going on. ”
"Brother, I can't sleep, you can stay with me for a while, I'm a little scared. ”
A red glow appeared in the gray sky. Slowly dyeing the sky red, the sun came out, and the earth was full of golden rays.
"Xiaowan, remember what my brother told you, don't let your mother know about it when you go home, take good care of your mother, and talk to your mother slowly after a long time in the future." "Well, brother, I remember, Xiao Wan replied softly.
"It's not early, sister, you clean up, I'll send you down the mountain." ”
"Brother, I'll just go back by myself, you can stay here with our dad more, and you have to take care of yourself. Dad is gone, you are now the pillar of our family, if you collapse again, what can my mother do?"
Brother, "I'll kowtow to our father" Xiao Wan knelt in front of her father's spiritual seat, buckled her father's head three times, stood up, her face was desolate, and her eyes were red again.
"Let's go, Xiaowan, I'll send you to the bottom of the mountain, the road is too far, it's not convenient for you to be a girl."
"Hmm," Xiao Wan followed her brother Tiancheng silently down the mountain.
Sending his sister away, Tiancheng returned to the mountain, it was already noon, the sky began to get hot, the hot sun shone on the roof of the thatched house, the yellow dog's hot tongue stuck out of the elder, but the body was motionless lying on the grass house.
Tiancheng hurriedly took the ladder to the house, brought some water and food to the yellow dog, and put it beside the yellow dog. The yellow dog saw the water and food sent by Tiancheng, and drank a few sips of water while lying down, but the food did not move at all.
"Rhubarb, eat something, you and I have to be here with my father for the past seven days, my father explained to me before his death, saying that I have to take care of you, I can't let you be thirsty and hungry, and your responsibility is also very important. ”
The yellow dog seemed to understand what Tiancheng said, nodded towards Tiancheng, a few cloudy tears dripped from his eyes, lowered his head and slowly closed his eyes.
On the evening of the fifth day, the night sky was bright and starry, and suddenly there was a strong wind, thunder and lightning, and dark clouds surging. In an instant, the stars were silent, and at this moment, it was as if the heavens and the earth had fallen into darkness.
In mid-air, black gas swept down with the wind, sending out bursts of roars and hiss towards the sarcophagus......
A golden light in the sarcophagus then rose into the sky, turning into ten thousand rays of light and piercing into the black gas, and suddenly the four corners of the sarcophagus rang loudly, and the charms flashed dazzlingly. The huge green dragon in mid-air suddenly raised its head, and an earth-shattering dragon roar sounded from its mouth, and the sound of the dragon's roar suddenly resounded through the valley sky.
Slowly, the golden light pierced through the entanglement of the black gas, and the black gas gradually faded away, and went away with the wind, the bell in the sarcophagus was silent, and the green dragon stopped hissing in mid-air.
The moon was in the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the scene just now suddenly disappeared in front of me, as if nothing had happened.
"Tiancheng always felt a little restless this night, indicating that something huge and uncertain was about to happen......
Before dawn, Tiancheng had just fallen asleep in a groggy state, and it was already noon when he woke up.
Suddenly remembered that tomorrow is my father's burning head, and promised to send my sister up the mountain this afternoon, and just about to get up, I saw my sister Xiaowan push the door and enter......
When Xiao Wan entered the door, she saw the yellow dog lying on the roof of the grass house, and she was holding back a ball of anger in her heart.
"Brother, look at yourself what you look like now, Dad has just passed away a few days ago? Let you keep a vigil here, but you, look at yourself, you are sleeping here in broad daylight, you really live up to Daddy's hard work. ”
"Tell me about you, what else can I do as a woman and a Taoist family, and I married out, that is, I lived an ordinary life with my husband, but everything my father is doing now is not all for you? For the sake of the Yang family in the future? But look at your current appearance, it's only been a few days? You are so groggy and confused, do you say that you are keeping a spiritual guard for our father?"
Xiaowan, I'......
"Yang Tiancheng, Xiao Wan pointed at Tiancheng with her hand, don't interrupt me, what will I ask you? You will answer me whatever I say. ”
Xiao Wan became more and more angry the more she talked, stepped forward and grabbed Tiancheng, pulled her brother out of the house, pointed to the yellow dog on the roof, and yelled at Tiancheng loudly: "Look at it, you show me, you sleep in the house in the middle of the day, you don't burn the incense, you don't burn the paper, the dog also goes up to the roof, yes? You also prepared water and food for it, and tomorrow you can provide it with it, you are the spirit of your father?"
Xiao Wan looked at her brother, looking at the yellow dog on the roof, hating the root of her teeth clenched, and an evil fire rose to her chest.
climbed the ladder to the house, kicked the water and food in front of the yellow dog, and kicked and beat the yellow dog. The yellow dog was in pain and barked, but he couldn't get up when he was lying there.
Xiao Wan saw the yellow dog like this, she was even more angry, jumped like thunder, picked up a wooden stick in her hand, and beat the yellow dog again, only hit the yellow dog with scaly wounds all over his body, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and a burst of whining and wailing in his mouth, his whole body trembled and crawled there, with tears in his eyes, looking at Tiancheng with a pleading gaze.
"Xiao Wan...... Our father told me before his death, you must treat it well, there are some things you don't understand, don't hit it, brother, beg you...... If you're angry, hit me a few times."
While Tiancheng was talking, he also climbed the ladder and went up to the room.
"Shut up, Yang Tiancheng, you stop for me, don't come here, if you take a step forward, I'll die to show you. ”
Xiaowan, you ......
Xiao Wan saw Tiancheng protecting the yellow dog like this, and her teeth were even more hateful. "Good~Good~Good~ A brute dares to treat me like this, compete with me, it seems that you really don't treat me as a member of the Yang family.
Today I'm going to see how much more capable you are of this brute. "I'm going to skin your dog right now......
Xiao Wan ...... "Yang Tiancheng, you shut up for me, you can help this brute, choose one of the two today, either I die or it dies......
Xiao Wan gritted her teeth and threw down the wooden stick in her hand, pulled out the silver hairpin with coiled hair from her head, and stabbed the yellow dog in the eye viciously......
One time, two times,...... The yellow dog's eyes were suddenly bloody, and he couldn't bear the pain anymore, so he stood up violently and snorted, ran down the room, and ran away without a trace......
