The third road of South Street, Lan Qing's home, South Street..."Shu Han compared the documents in the file one by one, and the doubts in his heart were finally revealed, he looked at Zhang Song on the side, and said, "Where is Lan Qing now?" “

Zhang Song was stunned for a moment and said, "Chengxi Cemetery is dealing with his husband's funeral." “

Shu Han thought for a while, and then said, "You come with me now." “

"Huh?" Zhang Song was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "This can't be done, director, it's too dangerous outside now, can't you go out?" “

"Then can you bring Lan Qing to me?" Shu Han glanced at Zhang Song and said, this sentence stopped Zhang Song, Lan Qing is now dealing with his husband's funeral, even if the relationship between their husband and wife is not harmonious, it is impossible to let her rush to the hospital at this time, this is too ruthless, but let Shu Han go directly to the hospital, he can't turn a blind eye, so he can only stand there stunned and not speak.

Shu Han looked at Zhang Song and said: "Don't worry, now Zhang Xianrong is difficult to protect himself, and disposing of the traces of his past crimes is the most urgent thing for him now, we are now like the scope of the lamp, it is the time when it is dark, Zhang Xianrong is impossible to notice us, and Lan Qing is likely to be the most important step for us to overthrow Zhang Xianrong." “

"But Lan Qing is also dangerous now, isn't it? He has a close relationship with Wang Youyun, and her home was just blown up, who knows when Zhang Xianrong will kill Lan Qing again? Isn't it looking for trouble when you go to her at this time? Zhang Song finally found an excuse to oppose Shu Han's proposal.

Shu Han said: "This is not necessarily, who did the explosion is still uncertain, and even if as you said, her side is very dangerous now, but Zhang Song, when has we not been in danger along the way?" We are even more dangerous when we are slaves in the mines! Isn't it? “

Shu Han recalled the past, which immediately made Zhang Song close his mouth, and Shu Han continued: "Now that we have gained status, we are starting to be greedy for life and afraid of death? Let me tell you, if you can't deal with Zhang Xianrong this time, it will be no big problem for Zhang Ruoming, but for us, can you rest assured that you will live in fear every day in the future, and even drink a sip of the company's water, you have to consider one or two?

Since the other party has already made a move on me, then this time, we must let him know that he provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked, only in this way can we live in peace, we have come all the way, Zhang Song, now you are advising me to be careful, when did we get cautious to this point? “

Zhang Song was finally shaken by these words, he looked at Shu Han and said: "Okay, but you have to let me follow you along the way, and if any situation arises, I can take you away, you can't object, only in this way, I can promise you, otherwise, I will call someone else, and I have to leave you here." “

Shu Han finally smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I didn't go to Lan Qing to force an answer, but just to chat." The two of them finally agreed, so Shu Han changed his clothes, and without greeting the doctors, he left the hospital and walked in the direction of the west of the city.

The streets are still full of people, and there is no difference from the past, only the number of police seems to have increased, patrolling back and forth on the street with sticks in their hands, compared to the past, there is a little more of a solemn atmosphere, Shu Han and Zhang Song, walking the avenue soon arrived at the cemetery in the west of the city, which is the final destination of most of the citizens of the Black Iron City, as far as the eye can see, there are rows of black tombstones, some of which are old, dating back to the time when the city was just built, and the words on it have been mottled, Only a shallow mark remains.

Some of them are brand new tomb plaques with the names of the deceased engraved on them, almost indistinguishable from those of modern times, except for the absence of photographs, in the Black Iron City, the upper class will open their own family cemeteries outside the city, while most of the ordinary citizens will bury themselves in this lonely flat land.

Unlike modern Chinese who want to place cemeteries in the suburbs, people in Black Iron City prefer to build cemeteries in the city, which can make them feel that the deceased seems to be still by their side, and even the cemetery is open to the public, you can pass by here when you run, and occasionally remember your relatives or friends.

This may have something to do with the harsh environment in the suburbs, many people in the Black Iron City have never left the walls of the Black Iron City all their lives, for them, the world outside the Black Iron City is dark, poor, terrible, and synonymous with ignorance and backwardness, where there are only farmers and ragged villagers with rickety backs, and there is nothing to admire.

Even those landlords, who have never even visited their land in their lives and seen the tenant farmers on that land, under such a value system, burying their relatives outside the Black Iron City is simply exile, and it is a curse that they will not be able to live in peace after death.

As for the upper class, those Skywalkers, those century-old rich families why they built their cemeteries outside, this may be related to the ancient Chinese like to build family tombs, because the status is superior, naturally there are two or three different places from others, building the cemetery on the outside, one can show their difference, and the other can also reflect their strength.

Ordinary people simply can't build outside of the Black Iron City, it is a place that is more remote than the suburbs, inaccessible, and many people have not even heard of it, these wealthy families carved their own graveyards in the forests and fields.

For ordinary people, jackals in the wild will be just buried after their relatives are buried, and the corpse will be thrown out and eaten, and only these families have the ability to ensure that their clansmen will not die in the wild with wild wolves, wild dogs, this is the performance of strength, and at the same time this can also increase the cohesion of the family, for the society that relies on the maintenance system to condense the family, the cohesion of the family itself is much lower than in modern times.

There will be little blood connection between each other, most of them are strangers who do not know each other, in this situation, common burial and a cemetery, can effectively increase the cohesion of the clan, so the tombs of the family are not here, but in the wild.

Walking through the cemetery, compared to the crowding of other parts of the Black Iron City, it seems very empty, a stone road leads directly to the only building in this building, the Black Iron City Funeral Rest House, the whole building has a total of three buildings, one is used for cremation, one is used for the relatives of the deceased, for the memorial hall, and the third is the ashes storage point, also known as the spirit bone tower.

Many people's property is not enough for them to get a place of their own in this cemetery, the cemetery will put them directly in the spirit bone tower, for the latecomers to hang, as for their cremation fees, it is from the government of the Black Iron City, it can be said that this is a rare embodiment of human nature in the Black Iron City, in the cemetery, Shu Han himself unconsciously calmed down, looking at the tombstone of tens of thousands, Shu Han always felt that all this was so real.

This is a land where countless people have lived, and now, multiplying to this generation, this feeling of human civilization being passed down from generation to generation, so that Shu Han also has a lot of respect for human history for a while, and even pride, even if it has encountered such a huge disaster, human beings are still standing in the wind and rain to this day, this sense of pride comes from the awe-inspiring strength of human beings.

As for Zhang Song's emotions, it was much simpler, looking at this large cemetery, all he had in his heart was a sneer, these residents of Black Iron City, no matter how bad and poor they were, they could still have a place of their own in the Spirit Bone Tower, and what about them, if it wasn't for Shu Han leading him to the Black Iron City and gaining his current status, he would have been just a slave for the rest of his life.

And what is the fate of slaves? They are mass graves, they don't even deserve to have a grave bag, they don't even deserve to erect a tombstone, they don't even have the qualifications to pay their respects, they will be thrown into the wilderness, and at night there will be jackals to eat their corpses, and they will not even have any bones left.

Thinking of his former future, Zhang Song's heart subconsciously had no good impression of this place, and at the same time, his gratitude to Shu Han in his heart also turned into loyalty, this is the monarch he is loyal to, he let himself be able to sleep here after death, he let himself still have relatives to hang after death, instead of being thrown in the wilderness, becoming food for jackals, and finally turning into a piece of dung, I don't know which tree is nourished.

If Shu Han knew what Zhang Song was thinking at the moment, Shu Han would probably feel very uncomfortable in his heart, although he didn't care much about where he would return after death, after all, in modern times, which seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy would think about which cemetery he would be buried in after death?

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers, it is the time when they are young and high-spirited, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, they only have the future in their eyes, and there is no past, people in their seventies and eighties will miss the past to their children and grandchildren all day long, and young people will only open up a new era and find their own glory.

And he is not the point of taste, it is that a twenty-two-year-old young man like Zhang Song thinks about the topic of life and death all day long, which is unimaginable for Shu Han, and it is also the biggest difference between the people of Black Iron City and the people of Hai'an City, one is facing the future, the other is living to death, different thoughts bring different results, this feeling, Shu Han has to sigh, nature changes human beings.

At the same time, I also feel more and more that human beings are so small, no matter how strong a person is, he will still be defeated in the face of terminal illness, and no matter how tenacious his will is in the face of natural disasters, he can only be overwhelmed, Zhang Song and Shu Han, looking at the same cemetery, but they sent out completely different thoughts, the hearts of the two young people, the age difference, not to mention that it is only seven or eight years old.

Walking to the building area of the cemetery, under the guidance of Zhang Song, Shu Han walked towards the location of the memorial hall, the building here looks very solemn, a huge arch bird makes the walkway in front of the door be covered, a row of pine trees is planted on both sides of the road, occasionally a few birds chirp, bringing a trace of fun, but the people who walked through it, all with sorrow on their faces, when Shu Han walked in, he happened to see a young man walking out with an urn, followed by his mother and a group of other friends, They were dressed in black.

The woman was still sobbing, two familiar ladies held his shoulders, so that she would not hurt herself in grief, the young man walked in front alone, there was no expression on his face, his long hair and broken beard looked like he hadn't cleaned himself for a long time, the finger bones of his two hands were thin and white, and the green tendons loomed on it, Shu Han passed by him, but he didn't seem to have any reaction, and the group slowly walked towards the Spirit Bone Tower with the urn.

Shu Han watched the group of people slowly move away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, such a young child had to experience such a tragic life and death in the world, and judging from the pace of their going to the Spirit Bone Tower, it was obvious that they were not a rich family, and they could only place the urns of their relatives in the Spirit Bone Tower to make him sleep peacefully.

And Zhang Song on the side looked at the distant figure and thought to himself, when he died, he must buy a cemetery in this Black Iron City, only in this way can his life be regarded as worthwhile, as for the Spirit Bone Tower, since he came to the Black Iron City, his life will never allow failure!

If you enter the Spirit Bone Tower, you will fail.

The two of them watched the people in the distance gradually disappear from view, and then slowly walked into the memorial hall, the whole memorial hall is very quiet, occasionally one or two cries can be heard, but the sound is not loud, the atmosphere here gives people a sad and restrained feeling, Shu Han stepped forward and looked, there are many doors on the opposite side of the hall, obviously leading to different memorial halls, Shu Han didn't know exactly where it was, so he walked directly to the front desk and asked an old man who looked quite old: "Excuse me, which hall is Mr. Gong's funeral in." ”

The old gentleman stretched out his hand to help his reading glasses, looked at the booklet in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it Mr. Gong X?" ”

"Yes, that's him." Shu Han nodded and said, and the old man said, "In Hall 2, the second one on the left is." After Shu Han thanked him, he pulled Zhang Song and walked inside, and the old man looked at the backs of Shu Han and Zhang Song, and said in a chattering voice: "Finally, there are still people to see." ”

Shu Han and Zhang Song didn't hear the old man's words, the two of them went straight inside, and soon arrived at the second hall, at this time the door was open, Shu Han and Zhang Song looked at each other, and then stepped into the mourning hall together, only to see that there was no one inside, and the more than 20 positions placed were almost all empty, only one woman was sitting in front of the spirit, and there was a teenager reading next to him, and there was no one else.

When human civilization dies
