It rained all night, and in the early hours of the morning, the electric snakes danced wildly, and the thunder came, and the rain began to increase. Subsequently, Geumcheon issued an orange warning for flood control overnight, and the water level of the Xiaoling River and the Daughter River that pass through Geumcheon City, including the Daling River in Linghe County, has crossed the warning line. If it rains like this for two days, the water from the Xiaoling River and the Daughter River will overflow the embankment. There is not much problem in the city, the levee will not burst, and if the river overflows the levee, there will be plenty of time for the residents on both sides to evacuate. But the downstream is different, especially the Daling River, once it breaks, it will be a great disaster.

Xing Lie stood on the side of the road outside Du Zhiyuan's store, looked up at the dark sky, let the raindrops whipped on his face, and said softly: "This damn weather." ”

The fat rat stood beside Xing Lie, frowned and said, "I'm afraid Da Linghe is really dangerous!"

At this time, the bright headlights shone through the rain curtain, and after a short time, dozens of luxury cars stopped on the side of the road. Nie Qianyun got out of the car with an umbrella, followed by Chen Weihua and the brothers of Camel and Lao Gui.

Because they were going to go out for the funeral this morning, they didn't go back to the city last night, but found a hotel in the county for one night.

Xing Lie glanced at Nie Qianyun and them, slowly lowered his head, looked at the stagnant water that didn't reach his ankles and sighed: "Let's go, the road above is not easy to walk, so don't drive the car." ”

Xing Lieshen walked home in the dark, and Nie Qianyun shouted, "Wait for me!"

Xing Lie stopped, Nie Qianyun caught up, and took a long breath: "This road is too difficult to walk." As he spoke, he naturally grabbed Xing Lie's arm.

The rain was so heavy that the umbrella didn't work at all, and the clothes on Nie Qianyun's body were almost wet. Although Xing Lie was wearing a raincoat, he still felt it. He could only take off his raincoat and put it on for Nie Qianyun.

"With such heavy rain, umbrellas don't work. ”

Smelling the breath on Xing Lie's body and feeling the temperature on the raincoat, the corners of Nie Qianyun's mouth slightly hooked a good-looking arc, and his eyes flashed with happiness.

Dozens of people walked silently behind Xing Lie and Nie Qianyun, except for the thunder and rain that sounded from time to time, the sound of crackling footsteps, and the faint sound of mournful music.

Sun Jin hurriedly took two steps to catch up: "The funeral is half past six, and now it's six twenty, let's go." ”

At this time, the neighbors had already come, wearing raincoats and umbrellas, and the yard was full of people. Xing Lie walked into the courtyard and heard a middle-aged woman shouting.

"Hey, the third child is here!"

Everyone looked at it, and men, women, and children greeted each other warmly. Some are called nephews, some are called nephews, some are called brothers, some are called brothers, some are called uncles, anyway, there is a lot of chaos, there are all kinds of names, which also shows that Xing Lie's popularity in the village is quite good.

Xing Lie arched his hand: "Uncles and uncles, thank you for coming over to help, don't say too many words of thanks, that's too hypocritical." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" said a middle-aged man, "everyone has been in the neighborhood for so many years, what to say thank you, that's too outlandish." Besides, whether it's you or Xiao Tao, we all grew up watching. Now that Xiao Tao is gone, each of us is very sad, but this is fate. After speaking, he looked at the watch on his wrist, "Okay, it's time, Izuku." ”

At this time, Xing Lie's second sisters-in-law Wang Juan and Xing Wen helped Bai Lihua out of the house, Xing Lie frowned and walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, don't go in such a heavy rain." ”

Bai Lihua shook her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Let me give your brother one last ride." ”

Xing Lie said: "What should I do if I am sick in such heavy rain? The child is so young, how can you breastfeed the child when you are sick?" and then looked at Xing Wen and Wang Juan, "Don't go either, stay at home with your sister-in-law and parents." ”

Xing Wen's tears mixed with the rain flowed down, and he cried and said, "I'm going to send off my eldest brother!"

Xing Lie stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Xing Wen's face, "Be obedient, help my sister-in-law go back!"

Wang Juan said: "Xiaowen, listen to the third child, help my sister-in-law go back to the house." ”

Bai Lihua knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried hoarsely: "Xing Tao, you liar, you big liar...... You promised me to hold hands with me until I was old, why didn't you say hello and leave first, why did you lie to me, what did you let me do with my children......"

Everyone watched Bai Lihua silently cry, Xing Lie bent down and picked up Bai Lihua and sent her to the house, Jian Yunfang walked over with the child in her arms, sat on the kang, grabbed Bai Lihua's hand and said.

"Cry, cry, cry well, or you'll get sick. ”

Xing Lie glanced outside, and as soon as he walked to the outhouse, he saw Xing Zhenguo walking out of the West House wearing a raincoat, "Where are you going?"

Xing Zhenguo said: "I'm going to send Xiaotao!"

Xing Lie sighed: "Don't make a mess, there are a few women left in the family, you can rest assured?"

Xing Zhenguo didn't speak, Xing Lie said softly: "Dad, the eldest brother has already left, let me and the second brother send him off this last stretch of the road, you stay at home and watch them." ”

Xing Zhenguo's body bent slightly, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden, and silently turned back to the house.

The procession of sending the spirit stretched for several hundred meters, Xing Lie held the urn, Xing Jun walked in front with the posthumous photo, and came to the cemetery more than 20 minutes later. Yesterday it was dug a one-meter-square pit, made of red bricks and cement inside, covered with plastic sheeting due to rain.

Xing Lie tore open the plastic sheet and threw it aside, put the urn inside, and then took out something wrapped in a white cloth on his waist and put it in front of the urn. No one knows what it is, only Fat Mouse, Sun Jin and Du Zhiyuan know that it is Xing Lie's gun and the Desert Eagle.
