The Buddha said: There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, can't ask for it, and can't let go.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Jiuying and Manman were dazzled by the flashlight for a while, and they couldn't see each other's appearance clearly for a while. It just sounds like this guy doesn't have a good temper. "That dead girl isn't from our family anymore! Don't come to us if you have any trouble! ”

Jiuying pulled a little resentful, "We are Zhang Qin's college classmates." Zhang Qin had an accident, but the school couldn't contact you. ”

"Accidents? What accident? The man's voice was hoarse, and his voice was louder, "Our family has no money!" Tell that dead girl not to take a penny out of the house! ”

At this time, another woman came to the house, "Da Liang! Who's it for? ”

"Two students came, saying that something had happened to that dead girl!" The man turned his head and replied loudly.

As she spoke, the woman had already stepped forward. Man Man and Jiuying's eyes just eased, and they finally saw the two people on the opposite side clearly.

The man was in his twenties, shaved and small, triangular eyes glittered with ferocity. The woman is not tall, she is very old, and the nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth are particularly deep, which looks a little mean.

"Something? What could happen? The woman let out a sneer from her nostrils. Her voice was as mean as her looks, "It's none of our business to die outside!" ”

"She's just dead!" Man Man couldn't help but shout, he didn't expect the hard-working senior sister to have such a family.

"What? He's dead? "The man looked a little surprised, but not sad." It's true? How did he die? ”

"Can you let us in and talk slowly?" Jiu Ying tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and his hand gently covered the soul bell on his wrist. From the appearance of these two people, Zhang Qin, who had been silent all the way, began to roll in the soul bell, and seemed to be very emotional.

The woman looked a little sad, opened the door and led Jiuying and Man Man in.

The courtyard of Zhang Qin's house is large, and on one side there may be a vegetable garden, with black plants standing tall. The courtyard was still land, and nothing was paved, and it was dusty when I walked over. Walking further, he could smell a strong stench coming from the right, and Jiuying guessed that it might be a place like a pigsty and chicken coop.

The man blocked the black dog that was about to pounce at the door, and let Jiuying and Man Man enter the house.

Zhang Qin's house is a typical Northeast three-room room.

There was a string of curtains hanging from the door, and it felt greasy when you played with it, and the sound might be made of plastic. The threshold was high, higher than the ankles, and Man raised his steps high and stepped over. The terrain in the house was about ten centimeters lower than the outside, and when I stepped down, I felt empty and almost broke my foot.

As soon as you enter the kitchen, there is no light in the house, only the light in the east room is projected, bringing a hint of light.

The woman led Man Man and Jiu Ying all the way into the East House.

A light bulb hangs in the middle of the room, emitting a dim glow. The ground is gray, and the red bricks on it are no longer visible. There are newspapers and New Year's pictures pasted on the four walls, I don't know if it's because of the time or the light, the color is dark yellow, and it looks a little dirty.

The furnishings in the house are simple and old. Facing the door, there was a red imitation leather sofa on the wall, and the leather surface on the backrest was almost peeling, and the exposed white lining had turned black.

In a corner of the north wall was a painted wooden table, which looked like a school desk, and a twenty-inch television was placed on it. In the other corner is a one-meter-long, half-person-high black cabinet, which is also dilapidated.

On the south side of the window is a large kang, which occupies half of the room. The kang is covered with a kang mat with large flowers, and a kang table is also set up. A man was sitting cross-legged on it, taking a small cup and taking a sip of wine, his face flushed. Most of the dishes on the table have gone down, and it seems that the dinner of this house is nearing the end.

"Dad, they said my eldest sister is gone!" Then the man who entered the house shouted loudly.

"Gone?" The man's voice was full of alcohol, "It's better without it, disobedient thing!" What followed was a barrage of foul language.

"Come, sit down! What the hell happened to my daughter? Zhang Qin's mother looked at her husband and son and spoke.

Jiuying looked at the oily black and shiny sofa, but still declined. She tried her best to tell Zhang Qin's cause of death and the reason why they came here in a calm tone, but found that the other party's reaction was very strange.

Brother Zhang Qin's face twitched, as if he wanted to squeeze out a sad expression but failed, "Then this, this," the man rubbed his hands, "Do you have to give something to say?" It's good, the people are gone, you have to pay some money! ”

Zhang Qin's mother's eyes were a little red, but she also looked at Jiuying and Man Man with anticipation, and seemed to agree with her son's words. As for Zhang Qin's father, he had already fallen on the kang, snoring and snoring, and he was actually asleep.

Full of anger and his face turned red, "Why do you just know how to ask for money?" Is Zhang Qin from your family? Jiuying didn't stop her this time, and she also felt that Zhang Qin's family was too cold-blooded.

"People are accidents, accidents! Got it? No money! He said with a huff.

"Yo! What is this called? Look at the little girl in this city, she is very temperamental! Zhang Qin's mother said in a tolerant tone, and persuaded in a serious tone, "We are also sad!" But what's the use of being sad? People are dead, and no matter how sad we are, she won't survive. Those of us who are alive must live, and Kotoko will hope that we will live well underground. My Kotoko is a filial child. ”

After that, Zhang Qin's mother wiped the corners of her eyes that were only slightly wet and sighed. If it weren't for the fact that it was happening right in front of her eyes, it would be hard to believe that this is a mother who has lost her child.

"Well, she always has some money to keep behind, right? This girl has been hiding for a long time and has saved a lot of money! Zhang Qin's brother still asked without giving up.

Zhang Qin has no money left, and her cremation fee is still paid by the school. Why don't you give this money? Jiuying's tone was very cold, even though she was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, Zhang Qin's family still refreshed her cognition again. Jiuying could feel that Zhang Qin in the soul bell had shrunk into a ball of gloom.

Zhang Qin got up early and returned late at school to work a lot, plus the school's scholarship, after removing the cremation fee, she still had a few thousand yuan left in her bank card. On this trip, Jiuying and Manman were originally going to hand over the card and ashes to her family. But now, Jiuying changed his mind first.

"We don't have any money, you are willing to be cremated, and it has nothing to do with us." Zhang Qin's brother hurriedly cleared up his involvement.

"That's it, why can you burn my daughter without even saying hello?" Zhang Qin's mother also hurriedly accosted, "Why can you still ask us for money?" We haven't asked you for that yet, what spirit? ”

"Mental damage fee!" Brother Zhang added.

"That's right! It's the mental damage fee! ”

"Cremation after death, this is a state regulation." Jiuying said word by word, "You don't want cremation, are you breaking the law?" ”

Seeing that the other party was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Jiuying glanced at Manman, and then said goodbye and came out of Zhang Qin's house. Zhang Qin's mother and brother were so busy sending them out of the door that they didn't even ask for Zhang Qin's ashes.
