Chapter 162: Wake the Spirit

Lin Jiaming and Lu Haowan had a meal with her at Aunt Zhao's house, and chatted with Aunt Zhao for a while after the meal. Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, Lin Jiaming wanted to leave with Lu Haowan, but Aunt Zhao tried her best to keep him, so he stayed at Aunt Zhao's house for a night.

On the other side, when Chen Fang took the train and car, dragging her tired body to her home, the white lantern had already been hung in the house.

Chen Fang's legs trembled, and she almost leaned on the door frame to enter the door. As soon as Chen Fang entered the door, a cry suddenly sounded in the house, Chen Fang walked to the spirit step by step, knelt down with a "poof", and joined the group of crying people.

After some catharsis, the sad emotions finally returned to calm. Chen Fang walked up to a beautiful girl and wiped her tears.

"Sister, when did you rush back?"

"I arrived a little earlier than you, are you tired?" The person who was called Sister by Chen Fang helped Chen Fang cut her hair and put on a white filial piety dress for her.

"It's a little tired, but now where can I care about being tired, how could grandma be like this, and suddenly leave us......" Before the words were finished, Chen Fang choked up again, causing her sister to start sobbing in a low voice.

"Let's keep a wake tonight, talk together, and let my parents have a good rest together. These days, they have taken care of their grandmother, they have lost a lot of weight, and the dark circles under their eyes are so heavy!" Chen Fang's sister's proposal was approved by Chen Fang.

After a short rest between the two sisters, the family had a simple dinner together, and then at the strong request of the Chen Fang sisters, the parents went back to the house to lie down and rest, and there were only Chen Fang and her sister in the huge mourning hall.

In the dark blue night sky, the golden moon was in the sky, and there were a few black clouds moving slowly towards the moon in the sky. The quiet moonlight made the already silent mountain even colder, and occasionally one or two unknown bird calls caused a dog to bark in the mountains, which reached the ears of the two sisters who were guarding the spirit.

"When you were a child, you were most afraid of the dog barking at night!" Seeing the flame of the oil lamp placed in the mourning hall dancing up and down with the light breeze blowing outside the house, my sister closed the door a little. The custom here is that the oil lamp is lit to help the deceased temporarily retain the soul of the deceased, and to receive the condolences of the deceased in the next few days, which is somewhat similar to the role of a lighthouse, so it cannot be extinguished.

Of course, this is just a superstitious statement, and the sisters who have gone to college naturally understand this truth, but even if they know in their hearts that this is superstition, they can't let it be extinguished by the wind, after all, the body of the grandmother who loves them is lying behind.

"Yes, it's been many years, and since we went to junior high school, we rarely slept together! You go to school in the town, and I'll come to grandma's place to sleep with grandma......" Chen Fang looked at the portrait of grandma on the stage, still so kind, tears rolling in her eyes.

Chen Fang's sister was silent for a while, she knew that her sister's feelings for her grandmother were far deeper than her feelings for her grandmother, at this time, she could only try to hide the sadness in her heart in order to be able to comfort her sister.

"How's the work?" Sister Chen Fang tried to change the subject.

"Hmm...... Still...... It's okay!" Chen Fang was a little hesitant, but Chen Fang's sister didn't care too much.

"Where's my boyfriend?"

As soon as she heard the three words of her boyfriend, Chen Fang's expression was a little complicated.

"Where's the boyfriend! A single dog, a ......," Chen Fang denied with a red face.

"Don't lie to me, I can tell from your expression!"

"Sister, don't talk about me, what about you?" Chen Fang quickly changed the topic and kicked the ball on her sister.

"I—how am I?"

"How is it in G City, it's so humid over there, are you used to it?" Chen Fang looked at her sister, and for a moment, she seemed to see her sister's brows furrowed slightly, but soon, she regained her composure.

"That's it, a person who goes alone, the company and the family are two points and one line. There are no surprises, no expectations, and sometimes I wonder if I was right to leave X City alone. ”

From her sister's words, Chen Fang heard more about her sister's loneliness and helplessness in a foreign country.

"I've been there for so many years, and no one has chased you?" Chen Fang knelt on the futon, took out a wad of paper money from the side, and gave half of it to her sister, and the two of them burned together in the brazier in front of them.

"Yes, how can there be, but none of them are what I want! Handsome, often the sense of responsibility is not strong, and the ability to have a strong sense of responsibility is average, so I go around and around, and I am still alone. ”

"You're too picky!" Chen Fang raised her head and looked at the portrait of her grandmother.

"Grandma will definitely say that!"

"Yes, grandma should say that!" Sister Chen Fang also raised her head, and the grandma in the portrait was the same as the grandma in their impression, with a kind and warm smile.

"Didn't you talk about it when you were in college?" Because of work, the two sisters haven't seen each other for several years, and this winter night is quiet and long, Chen Fang always wants to talk more about her past with her sister to make up for those missing companionship.

"No, I had a good relationship with a guy at the time, but I didn't pierce the window paper, and I left alone after graduation. Speaking of this, there seemed to be some regret in my sister's eyes.

"Didn't contact me later?" Chen Fang asked as she looked at her sister with a sideways face.

"We haven't been in touch since I left college, and I don't know how he's been doing all these years?"

"Then what kind of person is he?Sister, can you tell me about it?" Chen Fang looked at her sister, but her sister ignored him, but stared at the flame of the burning paper money in the basin.

"Sister?" Chen Fang called again.

"Ah...... Ah?!" Sister Chen Fang came back to her senses.

"Can you tell me about what kind of man he is?"

"He, why are you so interested in other people? It's been so many years, I've forgotten it!"

"Cut~ You just don't want to tell me!" Chen Fang threw the remaining paper money in his hand into the brazier, and the paper money instantly turned into an orange-red flame, and with a wisp of green smoke, the orange-red flame gradually became smaller, and the originally snow-white paper turned into a pile of black ashes.

"Don't talk about me, tell my sister, how is your current job? What are you doing? No, just come with me to G City, and we can have each other's company!"

"I work in a travel agency now, and my boss and I are the only two people working in our travel agency!"

"And what about your boss?"

"It's good, I don't think he said anything to me. When I came back this time, he granted me a long vacation and paid me two months' salary. In fact, I don't necessarily go to work in the next month......" Chen Fang told her sister about the transfer message she received on the road in the afternoon, and the two sisters agreed that this boss was not bad.

"Goo-Goo......

"Woo Woo ......"

The call of the unknown bird outside the mourning hall caused a dog to bark, mixed with the "whirring" of the wind blowing through the hills, and the silent valley was lively again for a while.
