231 Clothed Wilderness
Ge Guanqing's funeral was scheduled for another two weeks.
At that time, all the people who went to the hospital for a re-examination came out, even the one who was female?? The warriors who swept the tail of the worm made a miraculous recovery, and the physical examination showed that all the physiological indicators of the lucky man met the health standards, and he was still in the hospital for care and monitoring to ensure a recurrence of the accident.
This is what Fang Situ said. His secondment didn't end, but Chun Yuanzhao magnanimously gave him a day off, spent one night with Hua Jing, and then still had to go back to the hospital to schedule shifts with the medical department.
Three days before the funeral, Mrs. Yin sent a video message to Scarlet: "Sister-in-law Shang, you know, right?" "She is a very emotional person, and her eyes are red when she says a few words.
"Yes." Scarlet nodded.
"Our propaganda department is helping to organize the funeral, sister-in-law Ge...... I heard that my spirit was about to collapse. Mrs. Yin sniffed heavily, "She is in the hospital now, and she is being taken care of." We can't go into the hospital either. Ge's sister-in-law and the funeral team insisted that they would go home, and she would personally pack up Mr. Ge's clothes and belongings. The funeral team was afraid that Sister-in-law Ge would not be able to stand the stimulation, and wanted Sister-in-law Ge's friends who were usually close to her to accompany her to help. I've already signed up, can you go," Mrs. Yin snorted again and said in a muffled voice, "The funeral team said that the Ge family's house, from the inside out, has been cleaned. ”
"I'll go." Scarlet replied.
On the eve of the funeral, when Shang Tan'an accompanied Scarlet to Ge's house, he had already heard the slightest cry coming from the house in the courtyard.
Inside and outside the courtyard of the Ge family, there were more than a dozen men standing silently, Yin Decheng and Gu Huaici were among them, and some were probably the new neighbors of the Ge family. Some of the women stood guard at the door, some gathered around the house.
Qiu Mianmian, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, leaned on Mrs. Yin, almost out of shape.
"Sister-in-law, mourn."
Qiu Mianmian sobbed before she raised her eyes, and when she saw Shang Tan'an and Scarlet in a trance, tears rolled down.
Shang Tan'an went out quickly, he thoughtfully didn't want Qiu Mianmian to see himself and other people's husbands again, so as not to be more sad.
Scarlet remained in the house. The layout of Ge's house is almost exactly the same as her house, and even the new bathroom is not omitted for Ge's family. She stood silently among the women, looking in the direction of the bathroom that Mr. Ge never had the chance to see again, and suddenly her mind was gone, and there were so many new facilities, so many vigorous or strange new sights of Rowang, that gentleman of Sven had abandoned it like this.
Left a weeping man.
Why? Why is that?
Scarlet knew that she couldn't stand such a scene, and she was also very clumsy, and she couldn't say comforting words that made people forget crying and sadness when they heard it, so she could only step forward and say extremely dryly: "Mianmian, you have to mourn." ”
The night cold of the first highland soaked the small courtyard of the Ge family, and the stars were shining all over the sky.
Shang Tan'an and Yin Decheng stood together, looking at each other but speechless. Shock, disbelief, discussion, and inquiry, all these things have been done in the previous two weeks, and now they can only listen to the cries of the widow and do the funeral according to the steps of the funeral.
"Are you going to someone to go inside and urge it?" The neighbor looked at everyone in a low voice, "The time to burn Brother Ge's clothes is coming." ”
Yin Decheng looked left and right, his wife Feng Hua'er was a member of the funeral team, and his family was Ge Guanqing's old good neighbors, so he responded with a low sigh and leaned into the house.
Feng Hua'er sat on the edge of the bed, looked up, wiped the corners of her eyes, stood up gently, and immediately another sister-in-law made up for the position and leaned on Qiu Mianmian.
"What's the matter?" Feng Hua'er asked in a dumb voice.
"Have you taken it all? It's almost time to go. ”
"Hmm." Feng Hua'er sniffed, turned back to the side of the bed, squatted down in front of Qiu Mianmian's knee in a trance, stroked the back of her hand and said, "Mianmian, it's time to send off the clothes to Brother Ge." ”
The night was boundless, the figures outside the gate of Ge's house were longing, the military vehicles of the escort army were parked on the road in front of the hospital, and Qiu Mianmian's cry suddenly rose up, breaking through the silent night full of people and vehicles.
The women in the room immediately became a little confused, and they all moved, and someone shouted: "Count the clothes again." ”
Scarlet silently counted, and the number counted in her heart was the same as the number reported by others, before she withdrew her eyes and helped carry a package.
"It's a little stretchy," Feng Hua'er whispered to Gu Huaici's wife, Yu Kelu, and several neighbors' sisters-in-law, "I'll go and see if our leaders have enough cars, I'm afraid that many people have rushed over without signing up." ”
"Let the head of the household here coordinate the community commuter bus." Yu Kelu pressed his throat and quickly raised his point.
Scarlet looked at Qiu Mianmian, who was surrounded by the ladies and walked out, crying so much that she couldn't stand still, and followed the team out of the house. This saddest of people has forgotten to exist, and others can still use reason in the grief not as deep as she has, to help her take care of the affairs of the world.
Qiu Mianmian is now the loneliest person in the heart of Tamarins. Scarlet and compassionate.
"I'll come." Shang Tan'an walked out of the people waiting outside the courtyard, stepped forward a few steps, went to the edge of the scarlet, and took the package.
The men carried the clothes of the first victim, and the women supported the grief-stricken widow, and the procession of the clothes set off from Ge's house in the darkness of night to the wilderness demarcated by the funeral team.
The flame burns.
Qiu Mianmian knelt in front of the fire and cried.
"Guanqing, Guanqing, you come back, I don't want this, I don't want this."
Scarlet held on to a white rose and followed behind Shang Tan'an. It was urgently prompted by the Naturalization Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the small number of biological species carried by the Chuxiu had not yet reached the point of time to start the trial breeding program, and they did not plan to introduce alien provenance into Rowang so quickly. But white roses are a must. The Department of Naturalization of the Ministry of Agriculture has set up a fully enclosed experimental field in the newly built plantation, and has successfully completed this specially approved urgent task. This is what Mrs. Yin of the funeral team said.
The ground under his feet was a little uneven, Shang Tan'an turned sideways slightly, holding the rose in one hand and the scarlet silk in the other, and then turned around and continued walking. Their procession circled in the wilderness, surrounded by flaming robes and weeping women.
There are no robots, all real humans, in the real wilderness, with the night wind as an elegy. This is the first funeral guidance set by the Rawang Construction Headquarters, which will be written into the funeral regulations of the Rawang Conscription Group in the future.
Humanity, hats off to humanity.
Who else is this.
Scarlet followed Shang Tan'an step by step and followed the team.
Opposite the firelight, in the ranks of the representatives of the guards, she saw a familiar person, Qi Changgong. My heart flashed through the two funerals I had attended with this person when I was a child.
One is her grandfather, and the other is his grandfather.
The memorial garden in the Zhisang district of Mobi is solemn and spacious, and the flowers are in full bloom silently and everywhere. They always say goodbye to their deceased loved ones at dusk when the orange light of Tataqing reflects the valley of remembrance. Daddy had told her that twilight would give the dead a good rest, and that the living should turn around and embark on their way home, rest for the night, welcome a new day, and string together the following days into their own life journey, so that when they meet one day at the end, they will have a good story to tell them.
"Come back, come back, don't go."
Qiu Mianmian fell to the ground, crying hoarsely. The two sisters-in-law helped her up, and she knelt down and wept bitterly.
The clothes gradually turned to ashes, fluttering and rising in the wind.
The send-off dress is a popular funeral ceremony in Humboldt, Ge Guanqing's hometown, and it will be added to the funeral customs of the Tamarinsin people in the future, which is the suggestion of the Department of Folklore of the Ministry of Calendar, and has been unanimously approved by the Tamarwang Construction Headquarters.
In the majestic singing of Deputy Director Shang and Xiao Duan of the Propaganda Department, she heard Qiu Mianmian's crying against her lips to the soil, and heard the people who silently circled in the wilderness first chanted and prayed in a chaotic manner, and gradually sang in unison. She heard Shang Tan'an's voice blowing in the wind, so she also sang softly, and she saw everyone holding the white rose singing, and Qi Changgong's mouth on the other side of the fire was also open. She could still see the beeping fire, rolling up the ashes of her clothes. She looked up at the starry sky.
The deceased is not far away, and he carries his clothes, don't be cold, and die happily.
The deceased is not far away, and with his clothes, he will no longer be cold and live up to this life.
In the end, they threw the white roses into the fire.
