Chapter 125: Traveling with the ashes

Through the projection of the street lamp, he found a string of tears on Luo Fangyi's face to the north. What's wrong with this girl today? Suddenly became sentimental? Xiang Bei couldn't see the woman shed tears, and suddenly became panicked. He felt that the reason why women cry must be because they have been greatly wronged in their hearts, and once this grievance comes to their hearts, it is difficult to calm down.

Sure enough, Luo Fangyi, who was originally just crying silently, collapsed in an instant, and actually sobbed quietly. This...... How should this be good? At this time, it is not coaxing, and it is not coaxing.

"Xiao Luo, you are too picky, just such a pair of socks, not as expensive as pancakes. Xiang Bei remembered Luo Fangyi's birthday present to him, and he took the socks to open the shabu, which he felt was an excellent way to adjust the awkward atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Luo Fangyi cried even more, completely unscrupulous. provoked passers-by to stop and watch.

Xiangbei was completely out of order, and almost covered her mouth with his hands.

"Xiao Luo, don't be like this, others see it and think I'm bullying you. ”

Luo Fangyi didn't care about Xiangbei's reminder, she was a casual person, she wanted to cry, she couldn't stop crying. I don't know how long she cried like this, but her emotions gradually calmed down.

"Don't underestimate these pairs of socks, forty or fifty yuan is enough to eat several pancakes. Luo Fangyi wiped his tears and said seriously.

This girl's reflex arc is really far enough, and she is still stuck in the previous topic.

"Well, thank you for the gift, it makes sense, I will...... I'll treasure it. When he said the word "treasure", Xiangbei almost laughed out loud, "I have packed your breakfast this week, and I have enough pancakes and fruits." ”

"I don't want it, let's talk about it. Let's go to the mall, and go to the one near the newspaper office. ”

I looked north at my watch, it was almost ten o'clock, and the mall should be closing. At this time, raindrops suddenly fell from the sky, and the raindrops were very heavy, falling on Luo Fangyi's face, mixed with tears, and it was impossible to distinguish which were tears and which were rain.

"It's been a hot day, and this rain is finally going to fall," Xiang looked up at the sky to the north, and a large dark cloud was above the heads of the two of them, and it seemed that they would not be able to hold it at any time, pouring a large basin of water on the heads of the two people, "The sky is not beautiful, let's go to the mall next time, okay." ”

The face of the heavenly woman in the middle of summer changes when she says it. Xiangbei was just about to pull Luo Fangyi away, when the pouring rain fell on his head and face, drenching the two of them into soup chickens.

The two trotted all the way into the car, staring at the rain outside in a daze. The rain was so heavy that it enveloped the whole car, and the windows seemed to be covered with a curtain of water, completely isolated from the outside world.

"I'm sorry, Master, for messing with your birthday. Luo Fangyi looked apologetic.

"This kind of birthday is the most memorable," Xiang Bei thought it was quite interesting, "go back and change your clothes, don't catch a cold." ”

was originally a bland birthday, but because of Luo Fangyi's appearance, Xiangbei's heart made some waves. Of course, it also made him quickly forget about the evil thing of the ghost pressing the bed. When Xiangbei returned home, he recalled the experience of the past two days, and the questions in the investigation came to his mind one after another. He found the voice recorder, replayed the recording of the previous day's investigation in the Phoenix community, and recorded today's experience orally.

People will encounter all kinds of setbacks and injustices in their lives, most of which cannot be resolved, and the only thing that can save themselves in the end is themselves, that is, self-salvation.

……

The jade flows gold, and the cold comes and the summer comes. Summer in Hedong City comes violently and in a hurry.

Count the days to the north, and the tomb will be moved in a few days.

Once the time for the relocation of the tomb was determined, he was categorically reluctant to change it. Xiangbei feels that the current Zhou Xuecen and Nuoyi are like two lonely ghosts, wandering around. Thinking of these, there is not a day in his heart that is steady.

Before moving the tomb, a feng shui station was opened to the north, and the feng shui master's set of knowledge was seriously studied:

Before the ashes are moved, they must be paid a memorial service, and after the ashes are placed, they must be paid again. There are two conditions for choosing a date: first, the direction of the grave hill, and second, the date of birth of the deceased. Only by knowing these two items can we avoid the choice of day from colliding with the tomb and the immortal destiny and causing evil, and transfer out the nobles and blessings who sit on the mountain and the immortal destiny, so that the dead can enjoy peace and the living will be rich.

The living get rich? That's it. I won't care about any glory and wealth in my life. northward

Skip this line and read on:

If the two deceased are buried together, a seven-foot red cloth should be prepared as a hole trough to "hang the lining", and the corresponding moisture-proof box should be prepared.

Seven-foot red cloth, moisture-proof box...... Xiang Bei took out a pen and paper and wrote it down seriously.

Seven star copper coins, gold and silver ingots will be used during the burial, if the deceased has something he likes during his lifetime, he can be honored together, and the tomb beast can choose according to the family's wishes. The incense burner and incense burner can be prepared as desired, offering pastries and various fruits, and the fruit is best not to use pears (detached) and oranges (local self), because the homophony is not good.

There are also seven-star copper coins, gold and silver ingots, tomb beasts, incense burners, and offerings...... Record it carefully to the north.

Sure enough, interlacing is like separating mountains, and even moving graves is so exquisite, Chinese culture is really broad and profound. Xiangbei felt that completing such a ceremony with such a pious heart should allow the mother and daughter to rest in peace. This is the only thing he can do, even if it is regarded as feudal superstition, he thinks it doesn't matter.

I have never believed in fate or ghosts in my life, so how good can I go? Isn't it also the end of a ruined family?

It took two days to prepare the things and stack them neatly in the suitcase. Great, a family of three has more than enough to use these, and even their future share is saved, and they breathe a long sigh of relief to the north.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Pointing to the north, the auspicious time finally arrived, he chose a time close to the evening to start saving, and bought a cloth bag, just enough to put two urns in.

The staff of the funeral home saw the family of the deceased who was so well stocked for the first time, and they wanted to provide Xiangbei with another supporting service, including the relocation of the tomb, which was not expensive, and it was only 2,300 yuan after a seven-fold discount. As a result, he was rejected by Xiangbei, and he wanted to take the ashes of his mother and son on a family photo trip.

Traveling with ashes is exciting to think about.

It takes about three hours to travel from Hedong City to Binhai City by high-speed train. Before this high-speed rail trip, I bought two D and F seats next to each other to the north.

Xiang Bei carried a cloth bag containing the urn all the way through the security check and ticket check, and actually got on the train very smoothly, he breathed a sigh of relief, put the urn near the window, and sat down next to him.

The high-speed train is speeding all the way like a strong wind. Its appearance is not only as simple as facilitating travel, but also breaks the Chinese's inherent concept of hometown and other places for thousands of years, and completely changes the original closure and isolation between people from the geographical time and space.

Although they are all plains, there are too many differences between North China and Northeast China. The plains of the Northeast are vast and sparsely populated, and when viewed through the glass of the carriage, it is like looking at the sea, full of green or golden seas, without boundaries. Looking at it, people lose their minds and detach themselves from nature.

Although there are no mountains to be seen in the plains of North China, after all, there is little land and many people, and no matter where the train goes, it will always avoid the traces left by human activities: patches of vegetable greenhouses built with silver plastic sheets, village houses with red tiles and green bricks, green poplar forests, and dilapidated chemical factories that exist abruptly in the wilderness...... The scenery breaks into the field of vision one after another, and people can't let go of their minds and reverie.

When the train arrived at the coastal area, the view became a little different again, the boundary became more and more open, and the sky became more and more transparent. The unfamiliar landscape made Xiang Bei feel a sense of insecurity in his heart - he was getting farther and farther away from home. On the outskirts of Binhai City, the train crossed a bridge across the sea, and at a glance, it was empty and silent except for the sea and the sea.

Xiang Bei remembered that when he and Zhou Xuecen traveled for the first time, they came to Binhai City, which was just an unknown island at that time, because there was little publicity and there were not many tourists, it was really like an isolated paradise. Fisherman's horns, seafood feasts, pebbles, endless golden sand beaches and coastlines, the two of them run around the seashore in ecstasy as if they had found a treasure.

Xiang Bei suddenly remembered an interesting episode, when the two saw the sea for the first time, there were many birds flying on the beach, and Xiang Bei blurted out: "What a lot of pigeons!"

After saying this, Zhou Xuecen "giggled" and laughed: "Stupid, that's a seagull." ”

Xiang Bei also laughed, but his expression was a little embarrassed. It's not, I've learned it in my book, and I still remember a classic text. "Let the storm come harder!" shouted north towards the sky.

Zhou Xuecen had an exaggerated expression: "Boss, you're talking about Haiyan!"

A boy who grew up in an inland countryside from childhood to adulthood, has never seen mountains, never seen the sea, or even taken a train before going to college.

Xiang Bei rubbed the urn in his hand, recalling the scenes of the past, with a complicated smile on his face.

He was smiling intently when the young flight attendant walked up to him and asked in a gentle voice, "Sir, please show your ticket." ”

Xiangbei took two tickets out of his pocket and handed them to her.

The flight attendant carefully looked at it, and the two tickets were seated consecutively, but why was there no one in the window seat? There was also a small jar with a strange shape on the seat.

"Sir, are these two seats yours?" the flight attendant still locked his eyes on the small can, his eyes full of curiosity.

"That's right, me and it. Xiang Bei gently patted the small cans beside him, still smiling.

"Uh...... All right. The flight attendant smiled awkwardly and left.

"The train is about to reach the terminal station, Binhai Station, so please pack your belongings and get ready to get off the train...... The conductor's announcement sounded in the carriage.

The announcement was about to wake up to the north, and he stretched his waist a little, and he actually fell asleep just now. At this time, there were few people in the carriage. Binhai is located in the easternmost part of Bac Giang province, a county-level city with a population of only four or five hundred thousand, and few people would choose it as a travel destination.

Got off the train and made a station to the north. Although there are not many passengers and the station is deserted, it is a newly built high-speed rail station after all, and modern architectural elements are full of it, like a brightly lit steel jungle.

The Marina City Rest Garden is located in the easternmost part of the Marina City, facing the sea. It takes almost an hour to drive from the city to get there. It was getting late, so Xiang Bei decided to stay in the city for one night first, and then go straight to the rest garden the next morning.

Binhai has a history of less than 100 years, and before it was founded, it was just a small fishing village. As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, the sea eats the sea. In recent years, the development of the marine economy has changed its development trajectory. Especially in the eighties and nineties of the last century, it has developed into one of the top 100 counties in the country.

In the context of agriculture, fishermen and farmers are the same profession, but their incomes are very different. A fisherman can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year from breeding or fishing, while a farmer can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year.

Because of this, more and more inland people, especially farmers, have come here to earn a living and settle down, gradually developing to today's scale. However, the population of the coastal city is not large, only a few hundred thousand people, and at night, the whole city seems to fall asleep, and there is silence.

Have the coastal people ever been poor? Of course. It's just that it's not at all the same concept as poverty in the traditional sense. The fishermen's family here often tells tourists that even in the 50s when they were at their most hungry, there was no shortage of sea cucumbers and abalone, and they were all wild. So much so that in that period when there was no beef and mutton and white flour steamed buns, many people relied on seafood to satisfy their hunger and vomit. Adults often use this to teach disobedient children - if you cry again, you will eat sea cucumbers!

Heading north, dragging bags and luggage, I stayed at an express hotel. The seaside is indeed different, the air is good, the temperature is low, and there is much less noise and impetuousness.

Everything was settled, and I looked north against the window, with two urns beside me.

When a person is in a strange city, there is always a special feeling, all kinds of neon lights, noisy traffic sounds seem to have nothing to do with him, and any detail that is usually not noticed will be magnified by geometric multiples. In such an environment, he has a sense of relaxation that he has never felt before.

"Wife, I like the sea more and more. When it's all over, I'll live here with you two. ”

Xiang Bei thought to himself. At this time, the phone rang with a text message, and Xiang returned to the room and picked up the phone.

"Brother Xiang, Luo Jingchen came back ahead of schedule, it is said that he is here to handle his resignation, and he is going to settle in Guangzhou for a long time. ”

It was a message from Fat Dong.

"When did you come back and how long do you want to stay?"

"I came back yesterday, and I'll leave this weekend!"

Today is Tuesday, so there are about three or four days in between. It seems that the matter of moving the tomb has to be handled quickly!
