Chapter 25: The Day of Remembrance
In order to do things for Wang Man, I specially went to Zhang Wenbin and Tao Qing, and it was most appropriate for him to do it. Zhang Wenbin promised to contact Wang Man's family and do his best to handle this matter
Promised to transfer the benefits of the insurance to Wang Man's parents. But he didn't want to bear legal responsibility, so he begged me to help him intercede with Wang Man.
I don't know Wang Man's wishes, during this time, my life is very peaceful, because Wang Man has never appeared, and nothing else unusual happened. In addition to helping Xiao Ting look at the store, waiting for her to wake up is my only
One is worried, and it has been three days since she woke up!
I deliberately quipped, "You guys can really sleep, do you want to be a sleeping beauty?" ”
Xiao Ting lowered her head and didn't reply, the atmosphere in the room was very heavy, I think what I was worried about really couldn't be avoided......
"Ting, this time, it's me who is not good, I'm sorry! I know you must be freaking, but don't stop talking...... You can blame me, scold me, vent it, don't be silent, okay? "I burst into tears
said.
"Poof!" Xiao Ting couldn't stop laughing.
I was stunned, and then I reacted, I was tricked!
"Damn, do you know how uncomfortable I've been these days, I've been worried that you'll break down when you wake up......" I looked at her smiling face, crying and laughing.
"Okay, okay, I'm not fine!" Xiao Ting reached out to wipe the tears from my face, "Seriously, I'm scared!" I saw Zhang Wenbin running downstairs and wanted to escape, but he was cold and fluttering at the time.
The body is also out of control, and then the head is confused and you don't know! ”
I shook her hand guiltily, but Xiao Ting persuaded me: "Okay, it's all over, but ...... Don't look for me when you pretend to be that in the future! ”
"Hmm!" I nodded vigorously, "Absolutely not!" As he spoke, he hugged her tightly.
After Xiao Ting woke up, we left the Du family and went back to our own homes. Before leaving, at my request, the old lady drew a talisman for Xiao Ting to ask for peace of mind. The reason why I didn't let Xiao Ting accompany me was
Because tomorrow is the "first seven" of the old king, and according to folk legend, the "first seven" is the day when the dead come back to their souls, and I still hope to see the old king's head again.
That morning, Xue Chen called, because of Wang Man's matter, we missed the time when the old Wang Tou was cremated, and made an appointment to worship together.
It's the first time I've been to a funeral home, and of course the last time I was in the morgue. The old Wang had no relatives, so the sanitation office came forward to rent a small square for him to store his ashes here. Standing on the ashes of the place
In the columbarium, especially after seeing the ghosts, I looked at the photos of the deceased, my mind tensed, and I shuddered.
"Hey, you're alright!" Xue Chen patted me on the shoulder at an inopportune time.
I turned my head and glared at him, and said angrily, "What do you say! ”
In the small square where the old king's head is placed, in addition to a clay jar, a two-inch photo, and a key. The old Wang Tou in the photo looks much younger than he is now, probably fifty or sixty years old, but
The expression is the same as now, with a straight face and no smile.
"If Aunt Tian Xiu hadn't disappeared, they would have been able to get together now, right?"
"Maybe!"
"After more than ten years of companionship, she is not even afraid to sacrifice herself, how strong her mind must be to do this!"
"Hmm!"
"Xue Chen......"
"Huh?"
"You say, can you see him tonight?"
"Maybe!" Xue Chen said this in his mouth, but he was suspicious in his heart. Even if I did, I guess there was nothing to ask, it was really necessary, the old lady had already "summoned" and asked - he didn't say, maybe
I don't want her to be disappointed!
"Let's go!" I turned around and said.
"Where are you going?" Xue Chen asked.
I squinted at him, "Don't you have to do things?" ”
Xue Chen pursed his lips tightly and choked on the words in his throat with a smile, nodded helplessly, and followed. Of course he had something to do, but how could he get involved in hers?
After leaving the funeral home, I separated from Xue Chen and made an appointment with him to meet at the recycling bin in the evening. In fact, there is something I didn't tell Xue Chen, nor did I tell Xiao Ting, last night Zhang Wenbin informed me to go to Wang Man today
of funerals. So, my itinerary today is very full!
"Master, Yong'an Cemetery."
Recently, I have been going in and out of these places that ordinary people think are unlucky, will I be haunted by bad luck? I felt like I could see a black cloud on my head in the rearview mirror.
In a trance, the taxi actually stopped on the path at the back gate of Yong'an Cemetery, and I suspected that the driver was suspected of taking a long detour. Turning around, I finally saw a long staircase, and I looked up, that row
Row of tombstones, densely packed with no end in sight!
I exhaled deeply, the greenery in this area of the cemetery is not bad, the air is very good, because it is broad daylight, and there is no gloomy atmosphere, just quiet.
I followed the message sent by Zhang Wenbin, and as I walked, I looked at it, and a woman walked down from it and bumped into me as she passed by. When I looked at her, she raised her hand and covered her face with her sleeve, but she still looked
I could tell she was crying. She didn't stop, hurried down the steps, and after a while, a man chased after her, and this time I learned to be obedient, turned sideways to give way, and when he walked over, I continued to look for him.
After a while, I saw a group of black crushed heads, and according to the signs on the steps, I guessed that I should have arrived.
Zhang Wenbin saw me at a glance, greeted me with an anxious expression, and even stretched out his hand and pulled me over.
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, I stood directly in front of Wang Man's tombstone. In the photo inlaid on the tombstone, Wang Man is smiling brightly and wearing a white sleeveless dress, which can be seen to have taken this photo
She was happy. I couldn't help but think of the last time I saw her, a mixture of fear and sadness.
I bent down to put down the bouquet in my hand, and just as I was walking around, I saw a shop selling memorial supplies and went in and bought a bouquet of lilies.
"Xiao Zhang, this is ......" A haggard aunt asked Zhang Wenbin aloud.
Zhang Wenbin was a little nervous, and when he heard someone talking to him, he replied, "Oh, this is Xiao Man...... A friend! ”
I saw that this aunt was full of sadness, and her eyebrows were very similar to Wang Man, it should be her mother, and she walked over and comforted her: "Aunt Wang, you have to take good care of yourself, I think Wang Man is in the spirit of heaven, and I don't want to."
Seeing you feel so sorry for her!"
Aunt Wang nodded, a moment of sadness came from it, and tears slipped down again. An uncle came up behind her, put his arm around her shoulder, and comforted her. I looked at Zhang Wenbin on the side, he still looked anxious,
I naturally understand why he is worried, but on such an occasion, he has some contempt in his heart.
