Chapter 123: Funeral

"Smack"

It's the father of the passing year. My own son doesn't want to fight, but he must fight on this occasion. Not fighting is not enough to calm the anger and grief of Kang's family. In fact, it is a drop in the bucket. But be sure to fight.

Everyone present was stunned, no one stepped forward to pull, so the second slap fell.

The force of this slap is greater than the force of the previous slap. Liu Nian was slapped with a stumbling face, but he didn't hide. Not far away, the father and daughter of the Kang family watched this scene with tears in their eyes.

Immediately followed by the third time, someone looked at the face of the old man of the Kang family, the old man put away his tears, let go of his daughter, and walked towards the father and son.

He stepped forward, and instead of holding Liunian's father, he walked in front of Liunian. Everyone was watching, and the old man raised his hand and tried his best to slap Liu Nian.

Slap crisp.

I didn't hide in the passing years.

Where to hide?

There is nowhere to hide.

Heaven and earth are so big that we have nowhere to escape. It's better to turn around and face all, whether it's a gentle drizzle or a storm. All good.

Liunian lowered his head.

Father Kang turned around and faced his father who was passing through the years.

"I've beaten it, don't fight again. ”

Tears burst out almost in a second. Human affairs are often unexpected. It wasn't what he wanted, but it had come to an end. Life is always to be disappointed.

He froze on the spot, not knowing whether he should advance or retreat, stay or go. Liunian's father walked not far away with Kang's father, and his father turned around and threw him a word.

"Why don't you come and see how you can help, what are you waiting for?"

He was busy trotting all the way over. Kang Ruoran's face is pale, like frost leaves in the wind, there is no wind in the room, solemn and **, the old man is in a good coffin, which is lined with white silk and white flowers. But Liu Nian didn't dare to look at her, for fear that she would speak out and blame?

You didn't take good care of my daughter.

Yes, you don't.

Liu Nian felt like a dream during the day, sweaty clothes, surging out from his skin. When his father saw him like this, he hated that iron could not become steel.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!

yes, why bother in the first place.

Is it too late to compromise now? If he compromises now, then why fight in the first place? At the beginning, he didn't expect this to be the result. No one expected it.

Yes, no one expected it. If time could be turned back, humanity would still be unable to avoid all kinds of tragedies. Because we are human beings, human beings always have various needs and desires that need to be satisfied. If you don't try it once, it's not enough to talk about life. Now that he and Chen Mofei have tried, although this is not the life they originally expected, it is not the fate they want.

Dreams need to be on tiptoe and cannot be stolen. Can't steal. You can't steal other people's successes and failures, happiness and sorrow, sorrow or frustration. Don't be a bystander, be your own master. Freedom is not a dream, freedom is innate. Don't put a shackle on yourself, because the key is always in your own hands, and if you don't show mercy to yourself, no one will ever be able to truly redeem you. Release, sometimes a thought.

To be a lonely dancer, you can't go along with it. You can sing without singing, but you can't do without music in your heart.

And freedom always comes at a price.

So if you want true freedom, remember to bargain with fate.

Do you dare to ask for freedom?

I can't help but ask myself.

Some people are incapable of harnessing freedom, some are not entitled to it, and some are afraid to think about it.

Freely.

Restrained.

The passing years hovered between the two nouns. Or, they are not two nouns, but two adjectives. Or, neither. The scene was carried out in an orderly manner, the master of ceremonies arranged generously and decently, there were a lot of people coming, and he could see the relatively real sadness at the same time, and there were also indifferent, alienated and numb faces, why did they come? They are not free.

I want to go through the years.

What do they want to trade their freedom for? There must be something, and everyone here here here must have something to do. The passing years found that human nature disappointed him, the dead do not need compassion, the living seem to need this thing more, we know that we are pitiful, so sometimes we need to cover up our pain through the tragedy of others. It's just a means of self-deception. Our pain is still there, and the sunset is red a few times. A moment of relief is not a complete cure. Painful mockery, smug arrogance. There's nothing we can do about them.

Extermination? That seems to be a distant thing.

Or something like a fairy tale. Fairy tales can only exist in books, there are no fairy tales in real life.

Seeing that Father Kang was invited by the master of ceremonies to give a speech, the old man took out the style of the previous leader, but after reading two paragraphs, he couldn't cry. Liu Nian saw Kang Ruoran running up, and the two fathers and daughters hugged their heads in pain. Some insiders began to whisper, and some people were looking at him silently, these are all costs, why didn't he make full preparations at the same time before making that decision.

Sometimes we live our lives in a mess, and chaos is chaos, so we don't have a clue for the rest of our lives.

Liu Nian exhaled deeply, feeling that for so many years, he seemed to be mature and had been growing. But the real growth is only a matter of these two days.

Fate went round and round, twisted and turned, and finally showed him a glimmer of light. Only then did I feel relieved. Who has never had a big dark cloud in their life. The mountain rain is coming, and they are running away in embarrassment. But if you don't have an umbrella, the rain is really coming, and it's useless to run as fast as you want.

When the body said goodbye, Liu Nian finally dared to look directly at the old lady. After the person is gone, the appearance is not the same as when he was alive, and no matter how skilled the makeup artist is, there is no way to make the person look like he is asleep. A lifetime, the curtain has come down. After a while, everyone but her loved ones will forget about her. After a while, relatives will only think of her occasionally, and after a while, the miss will be diluted by time again.

Liu Nian didn't say sorry this time. He didn't feel sorry for anyone. If you have to blame it, blame fate. Fate has carried the black pot of countless people, and it is not bad for the passing year.

He demanded that he be a layman from now on, that he could complain, blame, or shirk his responsibilities a little. There's really no need to weigh all the mountains on yourself and be out of breath.

Suddenly I wanted to cry.

Kang Ruoran fainted on the ground during the cremation, her thin body seemed to have accumulated countless strength, and the two of them couldn't hold her, she cried and didn't let people fill her mother in the fire pit.

The fire burns the body, but the soul is not visible.

Kang Ruoran finally fell to the ground as soft as a puddle of water.

"Don't burn my mom. She was hoarse. Father Kang avoided it and couldn't stand this scene. Part never to meet again. There are some differences, and one parting is forever. Never seen since.

Kang Ruoran's words are heart-wrenching.

"I don't have a mom anymore. ”

"Mom, don't you care about me?"

"Mom, I'm sorry for you. ”

She finally shouted, "Mom!"

Mom. I thought of my mother for a long time, and then I thought of my child's mother. Since he came back, he has not been able to go back to see Chen Mofei. In fact, Liu Nian didn't dare to see Chen Mofei, he didn't know what to say to her, he didn't know how to explain to her, and he didn't know how to describe his cowardly thoughts. He didn't dare to face the self who was in the United States during that time, just as he still didn't dare to confess to Chen Mofei that he had returned to his hometown after the college entrance examination.

Liunian arranged for someone to help Kang Ruoran into the room, leaving someone to take care of him, and when Kang Ruoran woke up leisurely, his eyes were dull. She should have gone through thousands of mountains and rivers in her heart, if she understands, she should understand a mother's greatest desire for a daughter, the biggest thought for life, may not be her own birth, old age, sickness and death, longevity and happiness, what she cares about is her daughter's future.

In the past, it was written off, but it will not be in the future.

If Kang Ruoran understands, Kang's mother is fine in heaven. However, he knows that he understands something, he must come by himself, and others will persuade him, take Kang Ruoran as an example, if he comes to persuade her, it will inevitably backfire.

The ashes were cleaned up by Liunian, the urn was made of good jade, the cemetery invited Mr. Feng Shui, Mr. waited outside the door, Liunian contacted the other party, asked for the address of the cemetery, and did not dare to let the father and daughter of the Kang family follow, he drove a car with his father, Kang's father's driver, and there were several cars behind him.

The pluto is well prepared, and he will do everything in front of the old man's tomb in the past year, and burn the sacrifices in the place where he goes to turn into treasures. My father has always been by his side, he didn't beat himself again, and he didn't sneer at him. There was silence all the time. Fire transmits sacrifices to another world. Liu Nian watched the flames lick upwards, sweeping away the paper money and other paper products, and he didn't see the old man's face in the firelight. If she really had a soul, would she revisit the world she once knew so well through the firelight?

It's over, and the group is back. When he saw Kang's father again in the hotel, he felt that he seemed to be much older all of a sudden, Kang Ruoran's eyes were swollen, and he was very worried about her body, wondering if she could hold it. is still the master of ceremonies, he understands these old rules, when he sees the flowing year, let the flowing year pat himself up and down, and then give him a piece of sugar, the flowing year peels off the sugar paper, but he can't taste whether the sugar is sweet or bitter.

Is it sweet or bitter?

Passing years smiled bitterly.

Children know that sugar must be sweet, but he can't taste it.

Ten minutes later, the feast began, no one ate or drank, everyone was silent, and the battle ended quickly, and some people said goodbye in an endless stream. He didn't have the appetite to eat, he stood in the first place and thanked all the people who came, like the host's family. When everything is over, I look back at those cups, plates and bowls, and look back at the entire gloomy and deserted hall, and my heart is full of mixed feelings.

Mr. Kang and Kang Ruoran were both tired, so Liu Nian called the driver and told him to send the two home safely.

There is still finishing work, these are the responsibilities of the passing year, he is glad that he decided to come back with Kang Ruoran, in the words of the flowing father, this can be regarded as a way to repay the peach.
