Chapter 153: Déjà vu
They placed the coffin next to the tomb. There was a cold drizzle in the sky. The scene attracted a group of children dressed in tatters, who were noisily playing hide and seek between the tombstones, and suddenly their interests changed again, jumping up and down the coffin. Two relatives waited patiently.
After more than an hour of this, Mr. Bull, Mr. Gordon, and the clerk finally ran towards the cemetery, and then the priest appeared, wearing white sacrificial clothes as he went.
Mr. Bull waved his cane and chased away one or two children to support the scene. The formidable gentleman had condensed the funeral as best he could, and it was over in less than four minutes. He handed the priest the robe and walked away again.
"Hey," Gordon said to the gravedigger, "fill it in." ”
It was not difficult to fill in the tomb, the tomb was full, and the top of the coffin was only a few feet above the ground. The gravedigger shoveled the dirt in, stomped it with his foot, picked up the shovel and walked away, followed by the group of children, who were chattering and complaining that the game was over too quickly.
"Man," said Bull, patting the widower on the back, "they're going to shut up the cemetery." ”
The man had been standing beside the tomb since he had arrived, and had not moved his place, when he was stunned, raised his head, looked intently at the man who had greeted him, took a few steps forward, and then fainted to the ground. The crazy old woman was so deplorable that she had lost her cloak that she had no time to care for him.
So everyone poured a can of cold water on him. When he woke up and sent him out of the church cemetery safely, the door was locked and they dispersed.
"Hey, Yongchang," on the way back, Lao Shi asked, "Do you like this business?" ”
"It's okay," Yongchang replied hesitantly, "I don't particularly like it." ”
"Ah, Yongchang, you will get used to it sooner or later." "As long as you get used to it, you'll be fine, kid." ”
Yongchang was full of suspicions, and he didn't know if it took a long time for Lao Shi to get used to this set. However, he thought it would be better not to inquire about the question. On the way back to the funeral home, he kept trying to figure out what he had seen and heard.
Especially the old woman, who looked so familiar.
Wu Yongchang often dreams in his dreams about the scene when he was a child. It is not known if it was real or if he later made it up himself.
When he was about two years old, he was very well-dressed and had a nanny to take care of.
On a beautiful summer evening, the nanny excused herself to let the child breathe some fresh air and take him out into the wilderness.
This nanny, I don't know if it was made in advance or what, met a guy, maybe it was her lover.
When they were flirting in the house, the sister-in-law would lead him to play in the nearby yard or at the door, sometimes in front of him, sometimes not in front of him, thinking that nothing would go wrong.
At this moment, there is such a kind of person, who seems to have a career of abducting children. This profession was very popular at the time, and most of them found well-dressed babies somewhere, or abducted older children to sell them.
A woman pretended to take him in her hands, kiss him, tease him, and take the little girl away from the house, and at last told the little girl a wonderful story, and told her to go back to the nanny and tell the nanny that there was a lady who liked the child very much, and was kissing him and playing with him.
In this way, the gods unknowingly took him away and flew away. Sell from one place to another.
