Chapter 148: The Aftermath
Ah Nuan became more and more frightened in her heart, and finally simply shook off Xu Rongrong's hand and ran towards the wooden house.
"Grandpa, grandpa." The girl's uneasiness grew stronger, and she pushed open the door of the room suddenly, only to see the old man lying quietly on the small wooden bed.
"No, grandpa," Ah Nuan cried loudly and ran over to shake the old man, but the old man who raised her and taught her how to be a human was never opened again.
There was only a hint of a smile on his lips, which proved that he left with a smile and no regrets in his heart.
"Grandpa, Ah Nuan asked you and me to come back, why don't you wait for me, why. Grandpa, Ah Nuan hates you, you actually promised Ah Nuan but didn't do it, grandpa, come back, smile at Ah Nuan again, say goodbye to Ah Nuan, grandpa. Ah Nuan sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
On the clean and flawless face, drops of crystal tears rolled down, and the speed of the slide was staggering.
Behind her, Xu Rongrong leaned on Zhan Yiyang's arms, and couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears.
However, she couldn't see Ah Nuan sad there, so she took the tissue from Zhan Yiyang's hand and wiped her eyes, Xu Rongrong stepped forward, squatted down and hugged Ah Nuan.
"Ah Nuan, grandpa is gone, he definitely doesn't want you to cry like this, he will definitely feel distressed. Ah Nuan, don't cry, let grandpa go with peace of mind, okay? Xu Rongrong took another piece of tissue and wiped the tears that were rolling down for Ah Nuan.
Because of the loss of his support and dearest person, Ah Nuan, who was in a lonely state, suddenly plunged into Xu Rongrong's arms and cried loudly. While crying, he whimpered, "Auntie, Ah Nuan, since I opened my eyes, I only saw my grandfather alone, it was my grandfather who worked hard to pull Ah Nuan up, and now I can't wait for Ah Nuan to buy him something delicious, so I left." Ah Nuan, I will never find my grandfather again. ”
Listening to the childlike voice, Xu Rongrong's heart also hurt, she continued to wipe away her tears for Ah Nuan, and then leaned over her ear and comforted her softly, "Ah Nuan, look at it, grandpa is smiling." ”
"Hmm." Nuan nodded.
"You see, Grandpa went away with a smile, which means that he is happy. So what kind of situation can make grandpa happy? Of course, it is the situation that Ah Nuan does not cry, if grandpa knows that Ah Nuan is crying, he will definitely be unhappy, and he will not feel at ease. Could it be that Ah Nuan hopes that grandpa will be unhappy or uneasy? Xu Rongrong looked at this smart and delicate girl, and slowly reasoned with her, hoping that she could think about it a little.
Maybe Xu Rongrong's words were really listened to by Ah Nuan, so after Xu Rongrong finished speaking, she was ignorant for a few minutes, then looked at Xu Rongrong a little blankly, and asked in a low voice, "Really?" Auntie, if Ah Nuan stopped crying, would Grandpa be happy? ”
"Really." Xu Rongrong nodded, then stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears and snot for Ah Nuan, and finally nodded her red little nose, "Ah Nuan smile, let grandpa go happily." ”
Ah Nuan was stunned for a moment, although she was still sobbing, but the corners of her mouth had cracked an arc, which could be regarded as a reluctant smile.
Xu Rongrong's heart was sour, this girl is so sensible, sensible people can't help but feel distressed.
But she couldn't cry, because Ah Nuan easily stopped her tears, and if she cried too, then Ah Nuan would definitely cry again.
I can't cry, after all, it's a ten-year-old girl, her eyes are already swollen, and her nose is red, so she can't cry anymore.
So Xu Rongrong endured the sourness on his nose, smiled softly at Ah Nuan, and then helped her and stood up.
Although she couldn't hold back her tears, Ah Nuan was only ten years old after all, so she still lowered her head and sobbed shallowly.
Although Xu Rongrong didn't want her to cry, the child was obedient and didn't cry, and he didn't even let her cry, which seemed a bit immoral.
So after hesitating for a few moments, Xu Rongrong still turned around and discussed the question of the old man's future.
"Yiyang, the old man has no offspring, and Ah Nuan is so young, I want to ......" Xu Rongrong looked at Zhan Yiyang with wide eyes, although the two of them were so close, but there were some things, it was better to ask for his opinion before making a decision.
Zhan Yiyang nodded, although Xu Rongrong didn't finish speaking, he still understood the meaning of her words, "In that case, let's buy a piece of land for the old man on the public fundraising side." ”
It's just a matter of digging out some money, he Zhan Yiyang doesn't say that he has a lot of money, but the money to buy a cemetery is still more than enough, so naturally there is no point.
What's more, the old man's granddaughter helped Xu Rongrong find him, and even if he didn't have any money, he would bury the old man well.
Therefore, for Xu Rongrong's mentions, he unconditionally supported them with both hands.
Xu Rongrong also smiled, asking Zhan Yiyang's opinion is just a kind of similar to a cutscene, and it also belongs to the expression of mutual respect between two people in love, but based on so many years of understanding, Xu Rongrong has long known Zhan Yiyang's reaction, and of course he knows it in his heart, "Then let's take the old man down the mountain and do a funeral for him, and do our best." ”
The two of them nodded, and they were about to finalize the matter.
However, at this time, a timid voice sounded, "Auntie, can you not take grandpa down the mountain?" ”
It was Ah Nuan who was just hiding and sobbing on the sidelines who spoke. At this moment, she wiped away her tears, and there was a trace of stability and fortitude on her originally simple and lovely face.
"Why, Nuan?" Xu Rongrong half-squatted down, let his eyes be at eye level with her, and then asked her gently.
Ah Nuan clenched his little fists, his face was still immature, but he became strong because of the loss of his favorite grandfather, "Auntie, grandpa told me before his death that he must be buried in this mountain when he dies, he said, he doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to stay here forever." ”
Xu Rongrong was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the old man to say this, but since it was the old man's wish to be buried in this mountain, then they would help the old man realize his wish.
"Then let's help grandpa wash and bathe, and then sort out grandpa's relics, okay?" Xu Rongrong asked Nuan with a smile.
"Hmm." Ah Nuan nodded, although there was still a hint of sadness in her eyebrows, her clear eyes were no longer full of tears.
Although the old man was very old, he was still a man, so Zhan Yiyang called two soldiers to wipe the old man's body, and called a few more people to dig a big pit outside the wooden house.
Then he quickly let a few people down the mountain and drove to buy a coffin with a stone.
As for Xu Rongrong and A Nuan, they silently picked up the old man's things.
The old man lived in poverty in the mountains, and he had nothing but a few books.
As for those books, Zhan Yiyang's face changed after reading them, he looked at the old man's body and silently did not speak.
The old man is ten years old this year, and it is said that he entered the mountain seclusion fifty or sixty years ago, and at that time, he ......
After thinking about it, Zhan Yiyang didn't tell the identity of the old man to Ah Nuan and Xu Rongrong, he silently put the books next to the old man's bones, and when the coffin came, he buried them all in the old man's grave.
Not long after, a soldier came over with a coffin, and Zhan Yiyang and the little soldier carried the old man into the coffin.
Ah Nuan said that the old man didn't want to be cremated, so he just buried it.
If you follow the old man's intentions, he may not even want a coffin, but how can Xu Rongrong let the old man not even have a coffin.
After a few tosses, it was already dark, and this small cabin could not hold more than a hundred soldiers anyway, not to mention that there were still hundreds of people waiting in the warehouse.
Therefore, Xu Rongrong could only bury the old man, and as for the monument, he had to wait a few days to engrave it before erecting it for the old man.
Fortunately, the soldier who bought the coffin at the beginning was a man with a heart, and even the incense was ready.
Therefore, Xu Rongrong led Ah Nuan and bowed a few times in front of the old man's grave, Ah Nuan knelt down and kowtowed to the old man a few times, and lit three sticks of incense, where it was burning, so he reluctantly followed Xu Rongrong away.
When I walked to the warehouse, because it was dark and everyone didn't know the way, they followed behind Ah Nuan and Xu Rongrong.
At this time, Ah Nuan suddenly held Xu Rongrong's hand and whispered to her, "Auntie, can Ah Nuan come to see grandpa quietly in the future?" ”
As soon as Xu Rongrong lowered her head, she saw the girl's expectant big eyes, and her heart melted unconsciously.
"Yes, Nuan, but pay attention to safety, so you can call Auntie to come with you." Xu Rongrong smiled softly.
"Well, thank you, Auntie." Ah Nuan whispered.
Xu Rongrong didn't say a word, just held A Nuan's hand, and it became tighter.
After walking for a short time, the group came to the brightly lit warehouse, because no one knew the way up the mountain, so Chen Haoran could only helplessly take a large number of troops here to wait for the battle of the sun.
As for Qian Jiali, she had already been sent to the army to accept secret questions.
Waiting for the stars and looking forward to the moon, looking forward to the lights from the dark to the lights, and finally looking forward to the return of Zhan Yiyang and his party, Zhan Yilin rushed over directly excitedly, hugging Xu Rongrong is long sigh, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where have you been, I have thanked you for the flowers you are waiting for." ”
Xu Rongrong touched her head and patted her like a child, "Yilin, sister-in-law hasn't gone anywhere." ”
Zhan Yilin directly blackened, she immediately let go of Xu Rongrong, took two steps back, and threw herself into Chen Haoran's arms, and then looked at Xu Rongrong with a wary face, "Sister-in-law is crazy, she actually coaxed me as a child." ”
"Poof." The people next to him laughed.
At this time, Zhan Yilin suddenly noticed A Nuan, and she couldn't help but look at Xu Rongrong with some curiosity, "Sister-in-law, who is this child?" ”
"Huh? Her name is Ah Nuan, and she is a little girl I met. Xu Rongrong smiled and pulled Ah Nuan with one hand, who knew that this little girl was shy and hid behind her back.
"Ah Nuan? Where did you kidnap the little girl? Isn't it like Bai Yi, ready to be a girl? Zhan Yilin is a smart person, looking at the little girl's demeanor when she looks at Xu Rongrong, she clearly regards her as her only support. R9
