Chapter 127: Burial
Li's mother asked Liu Bufan some things about Li Yuefei again, but most of him prevaricated because he didn't know much about it, so Li's mother was busy with her own affairs, and Liu Bufan also went to walk outside the house.
Liu Bufan walked around her hometown, here is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is still quite pleasant, he climbed a nearby mountain, except for a sheep intestine path, the other areas are covered by dense trees, he tried his best to push away the bushes, drilling ropes for a long time, and finally found a good position, from here, he can look down on the whole village.
A new idea popped out of Liu Bufan's mind, he wanted to bury Li Yuefei here, and hold a funeral for her alone, instead of telling her parents about her cruel intentions and letting them grieve with her, it was better to bury her quietly, let her parents leave some thoughts and expectations, and take care of them in the name of Yuefei in the future.
After Liu Bufan stayed at the selected location for a while, he got up and went back, making marks along the way. Tomorrow he will go to the market to buy some tools and burial supplies, dig up Yuefei's grave first, and then bring her ashes to be buried here the day after tomorrow.
When Liu Bufan returned to her house, there were more girls and boys in the house, the girl was sitting on the table doing her homework, combing her double ponytail, her face was bright, she didn't look like she was too old, and her face was very similar to Li Yuefei.
"Hello, little sister, what's your name?" asked Liu Bufan as he walked up to the girl and bent over.
"My name is Li Yuexin. The little girl replied without timidity.
"What about him?" asked Liu Bufan, pointing to the little boy.
"He is my younger brother, his name is Li Ziqiang, who are you?" Li Yuexin stared at Liu Bufan and asked him rhetorically.
"My name is Liu Bufan, and I am your sister's colleague, and I was entrusted by her to come back to see you!" replied Liu Bufan.
"Big brother, when will my sister come back to see us?" asked Li Yuexin with a curious expression.
"Your sister is very busy with work right now and doesn't have time to come back, so when she is not busy in the future, she will come back to see you. Liu Bufan comforted.
"Big brother, can you take us to see my sister? We miss her so much, she hasn't been home for two years!" Li Yuexin begged him in a sweet voice.
"Xiaoxin, don't make trouble for Brother Liu, your sister will naturally come back when she is done!" Mama Li reprimanded beside her.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoliu, the child is not sensible, don't be like her!" Mama Li smiled and apologized to Liu Bufan.
"It's okay, Auntie, this shows that they have a good relationship with their sister, and it's normal to miss them!" Liu Bufan also said with a smile.
"Xiaoliu, you sit down for a while, I'll cook for you!" Mama Li walked to the kitchen after speaking.
"Okay, Auntie, go get busy!"
Liu Bufan moved a chair and sat next to Li Yuexin, looked at her quietly, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that she was similar to Li Yuefei, which was completely the template of Li Yuefei when she was a child.
"Xiaoxin, what grade are you studying in now?" asked Liu Bufan.
"I was in my third year of junior high school. ”
"Really, you're about to take the high school entrance examination, do you have any schools you want to go to?"
"I'm going to take the exam for our county No. 1 middle school, just like my sister. Li Yuexin said with a resolute face.
"Okay, Xiaoxin, study hard, Brother Liu promised you, as long as you are admitted, I will buy you whatever you want, okay?" Liu Bufan said in a low voice.
"Really?" Li Yuexin looked at him with a happy face.
"Of course, big brother counts. ”
"Then we'll make up our minds!"
"It's a deal!"
"Pull the hook!" Li Yuexin stretched out her delicate little finger.
Liu Bufan was also caught off guard, how could the little girl like this trick, and she had no choice but to stretch out her little finger and hook it with her.
"Hang yourself on the hook, you won't change for a hundred years!" Yuexin pulled her fingers and sang a proverb, and at the end the two of them had their thumbs printed together.
"Now that our agreement has come into effect, big brother, you are not allowed to deceive people!"
"I won't lie to you, you study hard, big brother is waiting for you!"
"Okay, then if the big brother leaves, how can I find you?" Li Yuexin asked again.
"In this way, the eldest brother assures you that after you finish the high school entrance examination, I will come back to see you, okay?" Liu Bufan stretched out his palm to assure.
"No, what if you forget, you have to leave the phone to me, and I'll call you then!" Li Yuexin strongly demanded.
"This... Okay, but you can only play after you finish the exam, and you can't play during the period before the exam, can you do it?" Liu Bufan looked at her and asked.
"I can!" Li Yuexin replied in the affirmative.
Liu Bufan took the pen in Li Yuexin's hand and wrote down his phone number on the last page of her textbook.
Li Yuexin smiled with satisfaction and continued to do her homework, while Liu Bufan watched her do her homework from the side.
More than half an hour later, Li's mother brought the prepared meal to the table, Li Yuexin put away her homework and helped her mother to serve the food first, Liu Bufan was going to help, but Li's mother said that he was a guest, so she had to let him interfere and asked him to sit down and wait to eat.
After the meals were served, Li's mother took a bowl of food and served it to her father on the bed in the room, and then the family began to eat, although this is Li Yuefei's house, but Liu Bufan found a sense of home here, which is very similar to his own family, with parents and younger siblings. After eating, Li's mother went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Li Yuexin took out her homework and continued to write, Liu Bufan and Li Ziqiang also became familiar with each other, and took him to play on the side.
Li's mother helped Liu Bufan clean up a room again, the wooden bed was padded with cotton wool and sheets, and then a thick quilt was spread, Liu Bufan's own family was also in the countryside, and the environment when he was a child was much more difficult than this, so he could adapt to it and moved his luggage into the room.
At night, Liu Bufan simply wiped his body and went back to the room, he lay on the bed and began to imagine again, remembering that he accused Li Yuefei that day, and pushed her, and finally went to the hospital to look at her cold corpse, and fell into incomparable self-blame and pain in his heart, and tears flowed down.
The next day, Liu Bufan got up early, greeted Li's mother, said that he was going out to run errands for a day, and then started running to the market to exercise just in time. After arriving, he bought a shovel and chiseling tools, as well as burial items, etc., rented a three-wheeled motorcycle, loaded a car and returned to the village, Liu Bufan was afraid of being discovered by Li Yuefei's family, so he parked the car on the remote side near the mountain, put the things in the car in a hidden place, and moved to the mountain little by little.
After everything was moved up, Liu Bufan began to dig a pit and got busy, although it was just after the spring equinox, and the climate was still relatively cold, but his face was covered with sweat, and his back was also soaked. Even so, Liu Bufan still didn't stop, and didn't stop to rest until the pit was dug.
Liu Bufan took out the granite slabs and chisels he bought, and began to chisel the tombstone for Li Yuefei, because he had no experience before, the carving was very slow, it took more than three hours, and the granite slabs were also broken four or five pieces, before the tombstone was chiseled, which was engraved with "I love Li Yuefei's tomb".
At this time, it was getting late, and Liu Bufan put all the other items into the pit, and covered the pit with some tree branches and blades of grass
The day will bring Li Yuefei's ashes to be buried.
After Liu Bufan went back, he chatted with Li Yuexin for a while, and the two became closer and closer, and even for a moment, he regarded Li Yuexin as Li Yuefei.
On the third day, after Liu Bufan said hello to Li's mother, he carried Li Yuefei's urn up the mountain, came to the edge of the dug pit, cleaned up the branches, and took out the things in the pit. He took Li Yuefei's urn out of the bag, hugged it tightly, and mourned in silence for about ten minutes before reluctantly putting it into the pit, began to fill in the soil, piled up a small mountain bag, and then erected the stone tablet in front of the grave.
Liu Bufan took out some fruit tributes and placed them in front of the grave, and began to burn paper money and netherworld supplies, then he burned three incense sticks, kowtowed three times to Li Yuefei's tomb, and then sat quietly on the side until the sun went down.
After Liu Bufan came back, he found Li's mother and said, "Auntie, my business here has been completed, and I plan to go back tomorrow." ”
"Xiaoliu, are you leaving so soon, stay here for two more days!" said Li's mother.
"No need, Auntie, I've been bothering you for a few days, and I'm going back to work too!" Liu Bufan politely refused.
"Okay, I'm also bothering Xiaoliu to bring a good one after I go back to see my Xiaofei, just say that we are all good, let her work with peace of mind!"
Li Bufan's eyelids jumped a few times after hearing this, and his face was also moved, but he quickly recovered and said, "Okay, Auntie, I will bring the words to Yuefei, and I will ask her to write to you as much as possible to report her safety." ”
"Thank you so much, Koyanagi!"
"You're welcome, Auntie!"
In the evening, Li Yuexin came back and learned that Liu Bufan was leaving tomorrow, she was very reluctant, and wanted to keep him for a few more days, but was reprimanded by her mother again, asking her not to delay Brother Liu's work, Liu Bufan also patiently explained the reason to her, and encouraged her to study hard and have the opportunity to come to see her again in the future.
On the fourth day, Liu Bufan packed his luggage, left Li Yuefei's hometown, and embarked on the journey back to H City, and after more than 20 hours of trekking, he finally returned.
At this time, it was already night, Liu Bufan had just entered the door, Song Tianyang heard the sound and ran out, rushed over and hugged him and asked, "Bufan, you are finally back, I'm worried about death, are you okay?"
"Oh, you stink, hurry up and wash it!" Song Tianyang smelled a bad smell on Liu Bufan's body, and pushed him to the bathroom again.
"Old Song, you actually dislike me, I despise you!" Liu Bufan replied and walked into the bathroom.
After Liu Bufan finished washing, put on his pajamas and came to the living room, Song Tianyang stopped playing with his mobile phone, looked at him and said, "Bufan, have you arrived at Li Yuefei's house? Have you handed over her ashes to her family?"
"Nope!"
"Ah? no, who did you give it to?" Song Tianyang looked surprised.
"I chose a spot on the hill near her house and buried her. ”
"Then you didn't tell her family?"
"I wanted to say it, but I'm afraid that they will be too sad, after all, his parents are also old, if they can't stand this blow and have an accident, then how can I be worthy of Yue Fei's spirit in the sky!"
"You are also right, this is also for the sake of her family, but how long do you plan to hide it, they can't never see Li Yuefei in the future!"
"Try to hold it off, I will contact them in the name of Yuefei and take care of their family!"
"Okay, your burden is going to increase again, it's really hard for you!"
"It's nothing, this is the only thing I can do for Yue Fei now!"
......
The two told each other about the recent events, and Liu Bufan was tired, so he went back to his room to rest.
