For the first time, the two children who warmed each other felt that it was such a happy thing to be full and warm, and the smell of mutton soup was still on the tip of their noses, but the two of them slept extremely satisfied. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, before dawn, Yu Fei got up and disturbed Li Qin to wake up.

"What sound?" Li Qin rubbed his hazy eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's a trumpet." Yu Fei's throat was a little tight, "It's dead." ”

Dead? Li Qin immediately refreshed. "Dead? Who died? ”

Yu Fei quickly grabbed the clothes next to him and put them on his body, "I don't know either." You lie down first, I'll take a look! ”

While speaking, Yu Fei put on his clothes, put on his shoes and ran out. But before I could get to the door, there was a knock at the door.

"Xiaofei, Xiaoqin, are you up?"

Yu Fei opened the door quickly, "What's wrong, auntie?" Who's in trouble? ”

"It's the Yao family! Yao's uncle, your uncle was not good last night, your Uncle Ge stayed there for the night, and when the horn sounded, it must be his house! You two get dressed and go over with me, we all have to go over and help with such a big matter!" Aunt Ge said anxiously.

Li Qin had already grabbed his clothes when Yu Fei was getting dressed. It's a little slower, but it's all dressed.

Seeing that Yu Fei's hair was still a little messy, he stopped him and asked him to comb his hair with him quickly, after all, the hair was not good-looking in the past.

"Was Uncle Yao's uncle seriously injured yesterday? Why is it gone so quickly? Li Qin asked.

"I don't know very well, but I said that a wolf tore off a large piece of flesh from my thigh, and I saw my bones! Originally, I also used the wound medicine to stop the bleeding, but when I came back, I said that it should be no big deal. Who would have thought that he would have a high fever at night and start talking nonsense. Seeing that it was no longer possible, they called people from house to house to help guard it, and it was past time when your Uncle Ge went out. Alas, who would have thought that this young man - there are two little ones in the family, how can this make people live! As she spoke, Aunt Ge burst into tears. There are a total of more than a dozen families in the mountains, and the relationship is good after all. Such a big thing happened to the Yao family suddenly, and Aunt Ge was really sad.

Yu Fei and Li Qin were also sad, but all they could do was to move faster, hurry over and see if there was anything they could help.

The horn blows this called "Great Sorrow Tune", which is a special piece of music played when the dead are dead, low and mournful, and in the bright morning, people can't help but cry when they listen to it.

Walking through the turning path, the left side of the gate of Yao's house has used a long wooden pole to provoke the "year paper", a total of 27 layers, one layer represents one year old, one year old on the ground, one year old on the ground, and only twenty-five years old on behalf of the deceased.

Two cauldrons were set up in the courtyard, boiling hot water, the aunt of the Yao family was arranging the work in the yard, and the rest were busy inside and out, if it was not necessary, they all looked serious and kept silent.

At the door of the room, the grandfather of the Yao family sat on the bench on the left, smoking his dry tobacco pouch one after another, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were empty, and he was immersed in his own world and could not extricate himself. But if you look closely, there are cloudy tears in the corners of his eyes, looming in the white smoke overflowing from his nose.

Aunt Ge wanted to go up to say hello and comfort, but after seeing his expression, she paused, sighed, and led the two of them to the house.

On the floor of the outhouse (kitchen), facing the door, there is a simple coffin bed (a simple coffin bed temporarily erected) supported by a door panel, and the uncle of the Yao family is covered with a red cloth that reaches the shoulder and neck, and his face is covered with a piece of yellow table paper. Motionless, he really passed away.

In front of the paddle is a clay pot, on the edge of the clay pot, the aunt of the Yao family is wearing linen and filial piety, shedding tears, and putting yellow table paper one by one into it, and the blazing flame bakes her face that should be white red.

On the left side of the paddle, the two children of the Yao family's uncle are also wearing filial piety robes and hats, kneeling quietly, the eldest daughter is wiping tears there, and the younger son is stunned and a little frightened. On the right side of the paddle are the children of several other uncles of the Yao family, all of whom are also wearing filial piety belts.

Aunt Ge lit the incense stick and bowed three times. According to Aunt Ge's advice, Yu Fei pulled Li Qin, knelt in front of the brazier, kowtowed three times, and burned three pieces of paper. After the aunt of the Yao family nodded and returned the salute, the two stood up and followed Aunt Ge into the house.

Inside the house, some elderly people sat on the kang, the men sat on the north kang, and the women sat on the south kang. Aunt Ge motioned for Yu Fei to go to the north kang to sit down, and she took Li Qin to the south kang.

Grandma Yao sat on the kang and couldn't stop crying, she was an elder, and it was even harder to cry, even if it hurt her heart, she could only endure it, and her eyes were red.

Finally, Uncle Yao's youngest son outside cried out with a "wow": "Dad! Father! I want Daddy! Daddy, hurry up! You said you were going to take me to catch fish, Dad! The little boy was only six years old, but this call made everyone sad and tearful.

As soon as he cried, Uncle Yao's daughter-in-law and daughter also cried, and even Grandma Yao couldn't help crying.

"Auntie, you want to mourn!" Aunt Qi comforted beside her, "If you don't take care of your body, won't these little ones be even more uncomfortable?" ”

"Yes, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think more about your children!"

Everyone was comforting.

"My wretched son!" If you don't persuade it, it's okay, this persuasion, Grandma Yao can't stop being sad, and simply becomes painful, "Why did you go like this!" Why are you so ruthless! Let the mother be sixty years old and send the white-haired person to the black-haired person! ”

For a while, Yao's house was full of crying inside and out.

According to the rules, after death, people have to stop for three days. And Uncle Yao's death at dawn was three days of seriousness. But because the uncle of the Yao family still has a high hall, it is still counted as a young death (premature death), so he can only stop for two days. In addition, the local custom is to go out in the early morning, so the actual time to stop the funeral is only one day.

In one day, it is not easy to make a set of coffins out, so Yu Fei and the others all went to help chop wood, saw planks, nail coffins, and paint, and they were very busy.

can also treat the Yao family, this short period of time is too cruel. It is also unacceptable for a good person to leave their life completely in just two days.

Therefore, the next morning, when the horn sounded again, the Yao family, especially Uncle Yao's wife and children, almost cried and broke their intestines. Li Qin was now next to Yu Fei, looking at his expressions as he looked at Uncle Yao's two children, with indescribable pity in his heart.

He also lost his parents at this age, and she understood his feelings.
