With tears on his face, Secretary Lu held the tombstone in a drowsy and meditated for a few minutes, then slowly stood up, found a few dead branches in the nearby thorn bushes, and picked up some dry pine needles that were easy to catch fire, and piled them in front of the tombstone

Then he took the woolen coat, held it in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, carefully smoothed the wrinkles on it, and stooped down on top of the pile of dry wood

This morning, although the wind was bitterly cold and the ground was full of frost, it was a very sunny day, and the ground was dry except for the frosty places, so when Secretary Lu used a lighter to light the pine needles under the woolen coat, a raging fire immediately ignited

Soon the woolen coat caught fire and began to burn

In the roaring fire and the sound of "beep peeling", Secretary Lu circled around Zhao Han's tomb three times, and finally returned to the tombstone, stood in an upright posture, and bowed respectfully three more times

Then he raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, looked at the swaying pine trees behind the tomb, and in an incomparably bleak and incomparably sad tone, he chanted in a long voice: "Ten years of life and death are boundless, I don't think about it, I can't forget it, I am a lonely soul for thousands of miles, and I have nowhere to talk about it.

After chanting this poem "Jiang Chengzi", the sad look on Secretary Lu's face was gradually replaced by a resolute expression, his hands clenched into fists, and he said to Zhao Han's tombstone in a determined tone: "Zhao Han, I know that before you died, the most concerned and relieved is our poor child who has no father since he was a child and has now lost his mother You can rest assured that I have found him He is now a strong man and a man with responsibility, courage, integrity, and ability He is just as kind, simple, strong, and brave as you are." All the good qualities in you, I can find in him......

Zhao Han Thank you for leaving such an excellent son for our Lu family Thank you for your care and cultivation of him for more than 20 years You can rest assured Now I will take over the burden on your shoulders: in the days to come, I will do my best to protect him from being hurt in the slightest; Do your best to nurture him so that he has a bright future and live up to your expectations of him; Do your best to care for him and let him feel the warmth of father's love and the happiness of his family......

Although I can't recognize him yet, I will be the strongest support behind him, the guiding light on his way, the safest haven in times of storms, and the most stable rear in his career...... When the time comes, I'm going to tell him that he's not an orphan, he's not an outcast without a father, that his father has always stood behind him, that he's always supporting him, helping him......

Zhao Han, I have to go, you have a spirit underground, please bless Ye Ming, bless our poor child, he is the only link between me and you, and the most precious treasure you left me, I will definitely cherish him and take care of him...... I'll come to see you often if I have time, and when I retire, I'd like to move to the foot of this hill in the same red brick house you've always lived in."

And as he said this, he glanced at the flames, and saw that the woolen coat had been reduced to ashes, and the ashes were blowing in the cold wind, and the ashes were flying all over the sky, like countless gray butterflies fluttering in the air......

This situation and this scene suddenly reminded him of a poem that Chen Jialuo read in "The Biography of the Flying Fox" when he was young when he watched Jin Yong: "The vast sorrow is boundless, the catastrophic catastrophic is at the end of the short song, the bright moon is missing, there is blue blood in the gloomy city, the blue is sometimes exhausted, the blood is sometimes extinguished, a wisp of incense is not broken, yes, yes, it turns into a butterfly."

When he read this poem at that time, he only felt that the artistic conception was poignant and moving, and now, when he lost his lover and was immersed in the scene, he really realized the heart-wrenching feelings of Chen Jialuo at that time......

After meditating and missing for a while, Secretary Lu looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was already half past eight, so he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Xu Lizhong's number and asked him to come up immediately

Xu Lizhong was actually a few dozen meters below the small tuping, and he didn't dare to go far at all After all, Secretary Lu was alone on the top of the mountain, and if something happened, it was not a joke

So a few minutes later he ran to the edge of the tomb as fast as he could

Secretary Lu put on glasses to cover his red eyes, pointed to the pile of ashes on the ground, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Xiao Xu, you clean up this place for me Don't leave any traces of burning As for the incense candles and offerings in front of the tombstone, don't remove them, it's okay to keep them, I'll go down slowly first, and after you deal with it, catch up, and let's go down the mountain together."

When he had finished his instructions, he walked around the tomb and walked down the hill alone

Xu Lizhong looked at his staggering back, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy and sadness in his heart He always knew that Secretary Lu's family was very unfortunate and had a bad relationship with his lover Gu Huaying If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had a well-behaved, obedient, filial and sensible daughter, Lu Nianzi, they would have divorced a long time ago

And judging from today's situation, the hostess in this tomb is likely to be Secretary Lu's original lover, and it is very likely to be the key factor that led to the decades of discord between Secretary Lu and Gu Huaying Looking at Secretary Lu's sad expression, he is still full of affection and longing for this woman who has long passed away It can be seen how deep their relationship would be back then......

Because he knew that he was going to come to the mountain to go to the grave, in addition to preparing incense and candle offerings, the careful Xu Lizhong also bought a small folding shovel and brought it in his bag, which was just used at this moment: after holding the ashes on the small ash pile and throwing it into a nearby thatched pile, he used a small shovel to shovel away the black scorched earth under the ash pile, and carefully used his feet to smooth the newly turned soil

So no one can tell that anything was burned here, only that someone worshipped the dead......

After doing all this, Xu Lizhong took a closer look around the tomb, and after making sure that there were no other flaws, he patted the dust off his body, put the shovel in his bag, threw off his steps, and ran down the hill to chase Secretary Lu
