124 Farewell (3000)
In the dim sky, the rain hit the improvised cloth tent. On the two tables of the Eight Immortals placed outside the hall, a candle was lit, and the candlelight was dim and sad. Jiang Yan opened his eyes, the scene in front of him did not surprise him too much, he looked down at the plain clothes on his body, his right hand flicked the overly lengthy white cloth belt, took a deep breath, he already knew what the situation was now.
On March 28, 2017, at his grandfather's funeral. Jiang Yan clearly remembered that just yesterday, he was still in the dormitory of the university playing the Three Kingdoms Kill, which would no longer reward silver taels, and when the charging mobile phone rang and saw the number displayed on it, he had already guessed it. The last Chinese New Year's Eve that Grandpa spent was probably the most humble and lonely Chinese New Year's Eve in his life. Grandpa has a total of three sons, the eldest son has already escaped debts, the second son has not seen Jiang Yan at the New Year's banquet in his lifetime, and the third son ...... Jiang Yan was woken up by his cousin next to him, and the host of the funeral had already read the names of their grandchildren.
Kneeling on his knees, the cold spring rain soaked his pants, but Jiang Yan didn't care at all, he presided over it, through the dim candles, in the gray hall, he saw a tall quilt and a pair of cloth shoes, that was his grandfather's body, he clearly remembered that from the time he came back to the ashes, he had never seen the last side of his grandfather, and the previous scene had already been frozen.
Jiang Yan didn't plan to take advantage of the dream to lift the quilt that had been stacked with several layers, and at this time, there was no sadness in his heart, cancer for five years, it was okay to go, I am afraid that the rest of his life wrapped in diapers is not the life that this down-and-out reader wants. Jiang Yan didn't know his grandfather's past, he never took the initiative to talk about it, and his grandchildren would not take the initiative to ask, but the second uncle who was the longest on his lips when teaching Jiang Yan was also his most unfilial son. Only in the words of his grandmother did Jiang Yan know some of their past lives, but all this had come to an end with the collapse of this body tormented by illness, and all the past would eventually be forgotten.
After Jiang Yan kowtowed three times, it was time to start the next ritual...... Even though he had already seen it once, Jiang Yan couldn't help but observe the faces of his relatives around him, and his face was still expressionless. He sighed softly in his heart, and looked at the front row of the line, the eldest uncle really didn't come, only the eldest aunt stood at the head, and on the side, Jiang Yan saw the second uncle who had not been seen for a long time again, this was the first time he saw him in the past few years, just a light glance, he shook his eyes.
The host broke everyone away, poured tin foil and "gold ingots" in the center of the venue, and threw his grandfather's clothes on top of it, and saw the tattered tunics he wore most often and the white-washed white shirt, somehow, his eyes were a little sore.
"Did that good guy ever look for you?" Father smoked a cheap cigarette and stood next to Jiang Yan, he looked at the pile of papers in the middle, his eyes were full of complexity, as the youngest son of his grandfather, Jiang Yan didn't know what happened between their brothers before, so that there would be such an obvious gap between the three, it seemed that the three brothers all had a trace of grandpa, and what his father inherited was grandpa's violent temper.
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and looked at the same place, he knew who his father was talking about "good goods", from the perspective of blood relationship, she should be his mother.
"Nope." Jiang Yan replied very skillfully.
"It's okay if you don't have contact, so as not to be entangled by her in the future." My father had said this many times, and he never asked too much about it, only occasionally brought it up. Jiang Yan sighed and looked at the eldest aunt standing in front of him and his cousin with his head down. Come to think of it, she should be with her uncle at this time. Hehe, reality is always more cruel than fiction because it has no logic.
In terms of mother's affairs, Jiang Yan has never been able to get around, everyone in this area knows about his mother's affairs, some have to know more, some have to know less, every time Jiang Yan comes back, someone will always ask about his mother. Whenever he said there was no contact, no one believed him except his father. Jiang Yan knew very well that even if he repeatedly explained that the eldest aunt and her two daughters had never believed his words. How can there be a reason why a son does not contact his mother?
Jiang Yan doesn't care, as long as he tells the truth. The father finished the cigarette in his hand, the cigarette butt was thrown on the ground haphazardly, his messy hair was soaked by the rain, and the man, who was not in the eyes of all his relatives, paced into the hall to carry his grandfather into the coffin.
For his father's praise, everyone focused on one point, and in summary, he was just an honest man with no prospects. Jiang Yan knows very well that even if he is a college student, in the end, in this era when college degrees are not valuable, living to middle age is just to get a useless evaluation.
"Whew...... It's pretty much the same. A fire ignited the things in front of Jiang Yan's eyes, and these objects related to his grandfather were all slowly curled up in the bright flames.
Jiang Yan took one last look at the hall, his father, second uncle and a few neighbors were collecting the quilts, and his grandfather would also enter the coffin made of foam with the last layer of quilts, and disappear into the furnace of the funeral home in the early morning of tomorrow, becoming a handful of ashes.
"In the end, your grandchildren won't be able to do anything." Jiang Yan listened to the noisy rain around him, "I'm too tired." I'll definitely take care of myself though...... Hehe, I was going to say something grandiose, but you know, this is not my character, so let's leave it at that. ”
Jiang Yan took a last look, wanting to see everyone in front of him, but the gray and black smoke had already obscured his vision, and his sour eyes looked at something blurry, Jiang Yan smiled bitterly, opened his arms, and slowly fell towards the fire pit.
The burning of the fire was accompanied by severe pain, the flames drained all the oxygen in Jiang Yan's lungs, and with the confusion of lack of oxygen, Jiang Yan seemed to hear the demon roaring in his mind.
"Go back! It's uncomfortable! Go back! ”
For some reason, Jiang Yan was relaxed at this time, he slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a fiery red world of flames, the flames were rolling, and the blazing energy was impacting Jiang Yan's whole body.
What appeared in front of Jiang Yan was a huge fireball like a star, just like the sun. Jiang Yan opened his mouth slightly, it was the first time he had faced such a scene. But soon, Jiang Yan regained his mind, he had to go back quickly, who knows what happened to Pepchino now.
This blazing sun rolled up a storm, and Jiang Yan, who was floating in the air, was swept into it in a moment.
In a daze, Jiang Yan felt a little cold on his face. When he opened his eyes, Pepchino's weeping little face came into view.
"What, who bullied my Pepquino?" Jiang Yan pulled his mouth and smiled, "Tell the gardener, brother, see if I don't kick his ass away." ”
"Poof." Before Pepchino could react, the aspen on the side laughed first.
After some fun, Jiang Yan finally coaxed Pepkino down. I turn my head and ask about the aspen. It's a garden with charming blue roses all over the place. The air has a charming smell, fresh and intoxicating.
"Why did you come out too!!" Poplar's hand was a petite blue-haired girl, she pouted and was very unhappy, if it weren't for the fact that the whole person was in Pepchino's snowman, Jiang Yan estimated that she would have jumped up and bit him.
"Ah, sleeping when I want to sleep, waking up when I want to wake up, is my rare advantage." Jiang Yan squatted down, "Then let's talk, Miss Doll." ”
"Don't call me Miss Doll, my name is Blue Rose!" Blue Rose proudly said her name, and if she wasn't still trapped by the snowman, she would probably think she had succeeded in her treacherous plan.
"How are you doing?" Jiang Yan asked with concern.
"It's fine." Poplar smiled peacefully, his big eyes couldn't help but tremble, recalling the scene just now.
*****
"Impossible! How can you guys come out!! That's the best dream I've ever made!! Blue Rose, who was standing in the air, looked at the two plant mothers who stood up tremblingly in shock.
"The fake that won't teach Pepkino is not Pepkino's Jiang Yan's brother!" Pepquino glared at the blue rose in the sky. The rabbit Gundam next to him had already jumped up, and his thick rabbit hand passed through Blue Rose's chest. However, when the rabbit hit the ground, everything went back to its original state.
"Hum hap hum!" Blue Rose stood in the air unscathed, "I'm in dream camouflage mode now, and you're going to catch me in your dreams!" I don't think your gardener will ever wake up! It was the best dream of his life!! ”
Before Blue Rose could finish speaking, a wooden throwing knife appeared beside her......
Thorn -
The dream camouflage was actually separated by a small opening, but this wave has not yet passed, and one after another flying knives appeared in front of Blue Rose's eyes, if it weren't for this disguise state and couldn't move, Blue Rose would definitely run away without even a shadow.
"Don't come here!!" Little Blue Rose, who has been taken care of by her sisters, has never seen this kind of posture, but after screaming for a while, she suddenly found that although she was injured, it was not as serious as she imagined, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the dream camouflage had been stabbed into a sieve by those flying knives, and she was slowly recovering, and she also left a well-proportioned small wound on her body, but these were not a big deal, "Hahaha, what did I think, it was just a bluff...... Strike...... That's it......"
Blue Rose stammered as she looked at the two snow-white rabbit hands that appeared at the camouflage crack.
"Ah!!!!!!h
"It's hard to scrape the scales yet." Poplar said with a squint.
"Well, then why did you wake up?" Jiang Yan was a little curious.
"Although a little unwilling." Bai Yang sighed, "But how could Lord Jiang Yan like to drink my special coffee." ”
"Uh......" Jiang Yan was speechless.
"Then what did Lord Jiang Yan dream again?"
"Can you respect me for a moment!!" Blue Rose shouted reluctantly, "Blue Rose is very strong!" ”
"The best dream...... If only that were the case. Jiang Yan looked at the shattering world and didn't speak again.
