Chapter 579: Society Sacrifice (3)
My voice was not loud, but because I was the center of attention now, my words were heard by almost everyone in the mourning hall, including the boy who was blowing bubbles.
As soon as I finished speaking, the thug walked over quickly without hesitation, but just as the thug was about to get close to the boy, two big men with strong bodies stood in front of the thug.
They are in this block, our brothers of the Red Fragrance Society are gone, this is the land of our Red Fragrance Society, someone comes to make trouble, that is, to smash the field of our Red Fragrance Society, plus today is the day of our social sacrifice, the brothers are holding back a sense of grief and indignation in their hearts, so the brothers all surrounded with a "whooa".
At this moment, the boy who blew bubbles and the two strong men were frightened, and they couldn't help but get together.
I asked Gu Qingfeng next to me, "Who is that person?" ”
Gu Qingfeng said: "The people on the other side of the Jiehe, Zou Jun, the son of Zou Boss, Zou Jun seems to be sick and can't come, so he sent his son to represent him......"
I waved my hand to interrupt Gu Qingfeng and said, "No need to say any more, just throw them all out." ”
Gu Qingfeng nodded, and then said to the brothers who surrounded us: "Throw it out." ”
So my brothers stepped forward and subdued the three of them instantly, and the boy who blew the bubbles said angrily: "You dare to touch me, I am the son of Zou Jun!" ”
No one paid attention to him, and my brothers ignored his shouts, and directly grabbed these three people and dragged them downstairs, and the bosses of other surrounding counties and cities were also embarrassed for a while, and I heard someone whispering: "Zou Jun has a big deal this time, and his son is really enough to give him a long face." ”
Another person answered next to him: "Zou Jun has always been the dominant family in Jiehe, and he is used to being arrogant, and his son is probably because of this, so he made the move just now." ”
"Boundary River? Can it be compared with Xingzhou, not a single district in Xingzhou can be compared, hey, the frog at the bottom of the well. ”
“……”
Zou Jun's son was dragged downstairs, and the mourning hall was quiet again.
There is still some time before our memorial service begins, so I went to the families of the deceased brothers and said "thank you" and "sorry" to each of them.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the sacrificial activities to begin, and the entire Shengchang Street was first plunged into a deep mourning.
I stood at the front of the crowd, Lu Xiaoyu stood on my left, Wang Bin was supported by the tanuki and stood on my right, and then there were the families of the deceased brothers, then the leaders of our Hongxiang Society, and then the members of our Hongxiang Society, the various bastards, and the bosses of various county-level cities.
After the performance was over, I took the lead in picking up a red incense stick from the table next to me, lit it on the candle, and said, "The sacrificial ceremony begins, light the red incense shrine." ”
At this time, everyone in the mourning hall held a red incense club in their hands, and they all lit it near them, and they all went over to light the red incense club in their hands, except for the families of the deceased, of course.
It took about five or six minutes for about 300 people in the entire mourning hall to light up the Red Incense Society.
And during this period of time, I held the red incense stick in front of me, closed my eyes tightly, and said nothing.
When I felt that almost everyone's red incense was lit, I continued, "Sacrifice to the Heroic Spirit!" A bow! ”
Everyone slowly bent over to my rhythm.
"Two bows!"
"Three bows!"
After bowing three times, I said, "After the ceremony, incense!" ”
After speaking, I was the first to put the incense in my hand into the incense burner on the table in front of my deceased brothers.
Then Lu Xiaoyu, Wang Bin, Tanuki, and many of my brothers began to step forward one by one to offer incense.
It took almost twenty minutes for the process to end.
By the time everyone finished offering incense, the families of the deceased had become silently weeping, and many brothers from the Red Incense Society had also become in tears.
Then there was a short memorial service in the house, and I announced the start of the street patrol.
The so-called street patrol is to take these dead brothers to walk the road they walked before their deaths, so that they can go on the road with peace of mind and no worries.
More than a dozen hearses slowly set off from the mourning hall and then drove at an extremely slow speed on Shengchang Street, from south to north and then from north to south.
There are a lot of people watching on the street, but most of them don't know what's going on, they just watch the excitement.
When it was almost 11:45, we ended the street patrol on Shengchang Street, drove out of Shengchang Street, and then drove in the direction of Chengdong Crematorium, and the family of the deceased sent another vehicle to our Chengdong Crematorium in batches.
On the way to the crematorium in the east of the city, the mob drove Yang Tu, Lu Xiaoyu and I to follow closely behind the hearse.
After the car drove for a while, Lu Xiaoyu took my arm and said to me: "Yi Feng, your mind, those brothers must be able to feel it, and I believe that their spirits in the sky can also rest in peace." ”
I said lightly, "I hope so." ”
The car drove for a while, my mobile phone rang, it was Ouyang Qing calling, obviously he should have arrived in Xingzhou, I heard Ouyang Qing say after answering the phone: "Yi Feng, I'm in Xingzhou, you tell me the specific address, I'll go over." ”
I told Ouyang Qing and said, "You just wait at the exit of the train station, I have arranged for my brother to pick you up at the train station, and they will call you later." ”
After hanging up the phone, I called my brothers near the train station and told them Ouyang Qing's phone number, and asked them to directly pick up that group of people and go to the crematorium in the east of the city.
The speed of the hearse was not fast, and by the time we arrived at the crematorium in the east of the city, it was already half past twelve, and we held a simple cremation ceremony here, and then arranged for everyone to have a simple meal, and then there was a formal cremation ceremony, starting with the rats, and then starting with the cremation of the deceased brothers.
When the cremation ceremony began, Ouyang Qing and his group had already come to the hall on this side of the crematorium, but our ceremony was going on, so they didn't disturb me, but stood at the back of the hall, and then waited quietly for the end of our ceremony.
When the ceremony was over and the body of the rat was pushed to be cremated, I, Wang Bin, and the raccoon cat all cried bitterly and couldn't cry!
Looking at the way I cried, Lu Xiaoyu was also touching the scene next to me, and the tears did not stop, I knew that she may not have much sadness in her heart, and she cried completely driven by my emotions.
And at the end of the rat ceremony, more than ten people came to the door of the hall, listening to the chaotic footsteps, I was stunned at first, and then looked back, walking on the top side of Zhao Ziyang and Qin Yong, followed by Ma Long, Yu Zhi, Zhang Fan, Ah Kuan, and other brothers who held knives with me at school, they also joined the Red Incense Society early in the morning, and they were the brothers of our Red Fragrance Society.
"Crazy brother!" Zhao Ziyang took the lead in calling me.
I frowned and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhao Ziyang said: "Crazy brother, we are all members of the Red Fragrance Society, how can such an important ceremony be without us?" ”
With that, he and the brothers behind him began to bow to the bodies of the dead brothers.
After bowing, Zhao Ziyang and his brothers did not speak again, but stood quietly to the side, and they did not disturb the continuation of the entire ceremony.
Several of the stoves in the crematorium were turned on at the same time, and it was not until about six o'clock in the afternoon that my brothers were finally cremated, and our sacrifice for today finally came to an end.
In the evening, the families of the deceased took the ashes of their relatives and went home under the escort of our brothers from the Red Fragrance Society.
And after this busy day, many brothers were tired enough, so I let the brothers disperse, and those who came to participate in the ceremony had long wanted to leave, and when I announced the end, they came to me to say hello politely and left.
And several leaders of our Red Fragrance Society, my brothers at school, and Ouyang Qing did not leave.
We sat down in the ceremonial hall of the crematorium, and Ouyang Qing came over to greet me: "Yi Feng, I saw that you had been busy all day, but I didn't expect this point before I had time to talk to you again." ”
I said, "I'm sorry. ”
Ouyang Qing shook his head and said, "You don't need to say sorry to me, you can do this by yourself, it's really rare in Dao'er, Yi Feng, I admire you." ”
I took a deep breath and didn't speak.
At this time, I also looked at Ouyang Qing's group, a total of seven people, himself, Yao Peipei, and four strong man guards, and an old man wearing a black tunic and glasses, his hair was gray, I don't know what kind of role Lu Dao played by Ouyang Qing's side.
Ouyang Qing found that I was looking at the old man, so he said to me: "His name is Yang Lin, he is a master of antiquities in central Shaanxi, and I went to the Northeast this time to ask for help." ”
It seems that this old man is not Ouyang Qing's subordinate.
The old man known as Yang Lin smiled faintly and said: "I followed Mr. Ouyang to open my eyes, with this action, the old man will have no regrets in his life." ”
Speaking of which, I can also guess that Ouyang Qing's trip to the Northeast this time may be related to the resale of antiques, and I am not interested in these things, so I did not ask in detail.
At this time, Yao Peipei also came to greet me: "Yi Feng, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
I nodded, Yao Peipei was wearing the same black dress as I had seen on the train, but her hair was a little longer than when I saw her before.
I casually asked Yao Peipei why she came to Xingzhou with Ouyang Qing, and Yao Peipei said that she had resigned from her job in the Geological Bureau and was now working under Ouyang.
It seems that there is still a secret matter between Yao Peipei and Ouyang Qing that I don't know, I'll ask about it when I'm free, as for now, it's really out of place.
