"Cremation?" This is Sanzang's exclamation, because he was surprised that he didn't control himself, he patted Xiao Zha with a little more strength to comfort, and quickly lightened his strength, "Xiao Zha, are you sure that what your grandmother explained to you is for us to burn ourselves to ashes?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Zha sobbed and nodded her head, looking at the corpse of Granny Gu who had been sleeping there forever, she really couldn't accept that her grandmother would never open her eyes again, sit up, sadness and fatigue made this still too young life faint.

"Xiaozha!" Sanzang held Xiao Zha's limp body and shook it in an attempt to wake him up.

Reaching out to stop Sanzang's movements, he drew a puzzled look. "Sanzang, it's okay, let him sleep well, not only is it sad and stimulating, but exhaustion is also the reason why he faints, I believe that after Granny Gu got sick, this child has been taking care of her. I didn't have parents since then, and now I have lost my only relative, so my psychological bearing has reached a limit! Fainting is just a kind of self-protection, which can avoid major problems in the body! ”

Hearing me say this, Sanzang let go of his grip on Koza's shoulder, and just held him on the recliner outside. Then he walked back to me and lowered his voice, "So what do we do now?" Could it be true that he listened to Xiaozha's words and cremated Granny Gu? Oh, of course, I'm not against cremation, which is obviously a lot more convenient, but isn't it right to think that her status and profession are generally very important to her own aftermath and keen to build a very gorgeous tomb? Then how could you explain such things to Xiaozha! Why don't we go buy a coffin or something, and do it well? ”

"Nope! We don't have to do anything. What we have to do is to do it according to Granny Gu's wishes before her death, and obediently cremate her. Get some ashes and put them in the jar, and finally take Xiaozha home with you. ”

"Huh?"

Facing Shang Sanzang's puzzled eyes, he opened his mouth and explained: "Our first premise is to respect the deceased's own wishes before his death, the soul of the ancient mother-in-law has been dispersed, and a corpse is left empty, even if it is well preserved, is it useful?" At most, it is just to occupy some feng shui blessings and shade descendants. And I believe that Granny Gu was very good before she died, and conveyed her blessings to us. Of course, this blessing will definitely not be missing her beloved little grandson. After the cremation, Xiao Zha can collect some of her ashes. It's a nice comfort to take it to where you live! Well, now, there will be no crematorium in the town. We'll have to set up the fire stand ourselves! He waved his hand at Sanzang. He turned around and walked out the door to get busy.

Sanzang looked at my back and was a little stunned, and it took a long time for a sentence to pop out of his mouth, and his faint voice was full of uncertainty, "Are you really sure that it would be a good comfort to carry the ashes with you at all times?" ”

Fortunately, the location of the ancient mother-in-law's house was very remote, and when she went out, she quickly found an open place where no one would disturb her, and set up a crematorium. It was not an easy project, and by the time it was completed, it was already dawn the next day. Xiao Zha had woken up an hour earlier. This time, I didn't continue to cry, and the whole person seemed to have grown up all of a sudden. Just silently helped us build the platform, and together they moved the body of the ancient grandmother from the house to the top of the platform and put it away.

The three of them stood in front of the platform, quietly looking at the corpse of the ancient mother-in-law lying on it, Sanzang stood behind Xiao Zha with his hand, and I held a torch in my hand. "Xiaozha, is there anything else you want to say to Granny Gu? If not, here we go! ”

Didn't reply, just shook his head. I turned around and placed the torch in my hand on the gasoline-filled firestand. "Boom!" The flames that soared into the sky ignited instantly, and the black smoke separated from the flames and gradually drifted into the distance.

eerily quiet, glanced back, only to find that I don't know when, Xiao Zha's face was already full of tears, silently dripping to the ground, and his lips were bitten white by himself.

Sanzang opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he was a little at a loss, but Xiaozha saw that we were both staring at him, raised his hand to wipe his tears, and his voice was choked, "I, it's okay, Brother Shuzi, Brother Yang, you, don't worry about me." Grandma wouldn't want to see me cry, she wanted me to be manly! The last sentence was so quiet that only he could hear it.

The eyes motioned for Sanzang to take Xiaozha into the house, clean up his mood, and pack up his things. Sanzang, who understood what I meant, turned around and walked towards the house with Xiaozha.

Watching their backs leave, they went upstairs and turned into the house, only then turned around and smoked the choking smoke again. I happened to see the sun peeking out of the mountain from behind the mountain, reflecting most of the sky with the vitality of the early morning, echoing the fire burning on the ground. Pouting, the end and the new life are really full of philosophical irony.

waited until the fire was completely extinguished, and then stepped forward, planning to collect some ashes or burnt bones or other things for Xiaozha. As a result, after rummaging for a while, I found a white bead the size of half a thumb in the ashes, which could be identified as bone to the touch, but it was much less dense than human bone.

Hurriedly lowered his head and continued to rummage in the ashes, and finally turned out a total of seven. Lined up in the palm of my hand, I stared at the round beads in my hand and was a little stunned, what is this? Don't tell me it's a relic, it's a Buddhist relic that will only appear after the Buddhist monks sit down! However, it is not a little difficult to say that it is not a little difficult, the texture, shape, means of obtaining, etc., are obviously similar to relics, the only difference between the two is probably the identity of the deceased, and I am not sure whether these beads will be the same as the relics, have the effect of tending to evil and suppressing demons!

The current situation is in conflict with what I already know, oh no, it's a big conflict! In the end, I had to convince myself that everything is possible in this world, don't be stereotyped by what you know, what I don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist, after all, I have never been exposed to any information about party sacrifices before! Maybe this is also a common practice in party sacrifices!

The beads were put away, and I buried all the ashes on the ground under an old tree. After packing up everything, he got up and walked towards Xiao Zha's wooden building to see if Sanzang had helped Xiao Zha pack up.
