No one objected, and everyone acquiesced to Yan Feng's words.

They began to walk slowly towards the place where the black clouds were shrouded, with heavy steps.

Yan Zifu walked at the front, and every time she took a step closer, she felt that the sound of gongs and drums was clearer.

Even so, she still couldn't believe that the old man who had accompanied her for almost half of her childhood was gone.

Hurriedly came to the front of the Han family's courtyard, and before entering the gate, Yan Zifu's steps suddenly paused and stopped.

It was obviously a summer when the sun and mountains were red and the cicadas were singing in the forest, but her thoughts fell into the cold glacial land, frozen, and it was difficult to think anymore.

At this time, the door of the Han family's courtyard opened from the inside, and the person who came was Xu Jiayue.

"Xu ......"

Xu Jiayue shook his head at her and motioned for her to enter the house, "Let's go into the house." ”

didn't have time to think about it, Yan Zifu followed Xu Jiayue's gaze and walked towards the brightly lit main house.

The door of the main house is open, and the altar in the middle, the black coffin parked on the left, and the pads in the open space on the right are all visible.

The simple black, white and gray colors form another solemn world.

And the threshold is a chasm, clearly dividing the people inside from the outside.

She is here, Grandpa Han is there, and from then on, the two of them had nothing to do with each other and had no intersection.

In fact, even if Yan Zifu crosses the chasm, she still can't change anything.

As early as the moment of yin and yang separation, they were destined to break all contact.

There is a saying: in the end, the soul flies away, and the past is dusted.

There is no reason and no one to accompany him, and the tears are left to dye the green plums.

Enter the house.

Kneeling down, taking the three-pillar incense handed over by the aunt on the side, making a gesture, and then putting incense, just like the process of going to the back mountain to go to the grave of his grandfather in the past, Yan Zifu faced the spirit tablet of the old man Han and silently told his heart.

She didn't delay much time after this action.

At least, by the time Han Chubai and the others arrived, Yan Zifu had already gotten up, ready to miss them and walk outside the door.

There is no need to look at it, Yan Zifu also knows that they must be doing the same thing as her just now.

After going out and stepping into the corridor under the eaves, Yan Zifu saw Xu Jiayue standing under the green jujube tree in the distance, with his hands in his pockets in a look-forward shape.

It should be: the shadows of the trees are sparse and thin, and the breeze blows the hair floating. A white dress is better than white snow, and the long jade stands over the peak.

As if sympathy could not help herself, she walked slowly over and stood still.

After being silent for a long time, Yan Zifu seemed to murmur, "When did this happen?" Xu Jiayue. ”

"This morning."

"This morning? Didn't the first white know it a long time ago? ”

Thinking of today's exam, Yan Zifu couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for him.

On such a special day, he had to leave home, and he must have been very sad and helpless in his heart.

Xu is surprise in Yan Zifu's mouth caused Xu Jiayue to look sideways, his eyes were slightly dark, and Yun said lightly: "What, I feel sorry for him?" ”

"Well, it's definitely a little bit. After all, "we grew up playing." This man is not a sage, how can he be ruthless?

But what Yan Zifu didn't expect was that before she finished speaking, Xu Jiayue left a sentence, "I know." ”

Then he turned around and walked away.

Because it was too sudden, Yan Zifu was speechless for a while.

That's it?

Hey, no. She didn't finish her sentence!

And what do you know?

Are you the roundworm in my stomach?

You know it!

But in the next second, Yan Zifu didn't have time to complain or complain, she patronized and got angry.

She said how he suddenly left her and ran away, so it was!

Hmph, Xu Jiayue, who is heavy on color and light on friends, is the most annoying!

On the other side, Yan Feng and Xu Jialan walked out of the main house hand in arm, and when they saw Xu Jiayue and others walking towards them, they wondered: "Ah Yue, is this the friend you brought?" Tell me about it. ”

"No, I happened to meet it." After Xu Jiayue finished speaking, he looked at a beautiful girl next to him and said, "This is Xiangyu, you have seen it, and the one in the back is her friend Chen Rongdong." They came together with their families to mourn."

"Oh, that's a coincidence. Sure enough, there are relatives and friends all over the world, and my sisters are also relatives and friends here? ”

"Yes."

"It's not."

Bai Xiangyu opened his mouth first to explain: "My grandfather and Grandpa Han are comrades-in-arms, and today is the last time he took me to visit his old man's home. Uh, honeysuckle came with me. ”

"That's right, sister. I just came with Xiangyu. ”

"That's right. All right, you guys go into the house and incense. We will not delay you. I'll have time to talk in a moment. ”

"Okay."

After speaking, several familiar people, or nodding, or smiling, or beckoning, after completing a polite exchange, staggered one after another.

Bai Xiangyu and Chen Rongdong entered the house, Yan Feng and Xu Jialan, plus Xu Jiayue went out.

The latter walked to a corner, talking about something at will, and the others did not know the cause and effect, and did not understand their intentions at all.

Yan Hu and Yan Zifu came over at this time with Zou who was holding a cane.

"Granny Zou." Xu Jiayue and Xu Jialan.

"Mother-in-law." Yan Feng.

"Hey, good, good. Don't go. Eat right away. You can sit down at a table and eat in a moment. ”

"yes, I see."

Several of them agreed at the same time, "Okay, we get it." ”

After a while, the originally deserted scene became more and more lively, just like the New Year, with the fragrance of wine and food, and the staggered selection.

Everyone comes and goes, and the noise, rejection, dissuasion, and noise come and go.

Yan Zifu looked at the pomp and circumstance around her, and couldn't help but sigh: the excitement is theirs, and the sadness is her own.

After dinner, a lot of people left to join in the fun, but there were also many people who stayed to help clean up, and most of these people were some mothers-in-law and aunts.

After the men were busy with big things for a while, they began to entertain themselves spontaneously.

At this time, the extra tables, chairs and benches have a shining role - used to play mahjong, poker and other gadgets.

And the children just gathered around these people and things, taking some melon seeds, peanuts and candy to eat.

Oh yes.

There are also the chef's kitchen managers and a group of miscellaneous people, who are still busy.

Their work, on this star-studded night of the month, has only just begun.

Tomorrow is the day of burial, and more people will come to the funeral, and the people who stay to eat are the main objects of their hospitality.

They had to make sure that they didn't have enough food to eat.

If that's the case, I'm afraid that the host family will lose face, and their treatment will also change.

If nothing else, even their reputation will be reduced.

You know, there's no such thing as an airtight wall in the countryside, right, how ugly it sounds.

People brought their families to attend the funeral, but they couldn't even eat enough.

If this is the case, will the people who are looking for them dare to come to them?

Is it, do you, dare, or want to take the risk?

I don't dare, I don't want to.

After all, few people are willing to do thankless things.

The dim light mixed with the moonlight added a touch of warmth to what should have been a bleak night.

While everyone chose to chat on the dam to pass the time, Yan Zifu stepped into the main house.

Sure enough, at this time, the main house was much more empty, and it had long since lost its previous liveliness.

There was no accident, Yan Zifu saw Han Chubai kneeling on the cushion here.

Without thinking about it, she took a puff mat and knelt beside him.

"Why are you here?"

"Surprised?"

"Hmm."

"Unexpected what? As far as my year-old friendship with Grandpa Han is concerned, this is not how it should be. ”

“...... Not by accident this. ”

"What was that accident?"

"Surprise you" didn't get in a bunch with them.

When the words came to his lips, Han Chubai stopped talking and only said, "Forget it, it's nothing." ”

"Oh."

Yan Zifu didn't ask him why he didn't continue, he was simply not in the mood.

After kneeling for a while, someone came in, it was Han Chubai's mother.

"Hello Auntie."

"Well, Zifu is really sensible."

"Mom, what are you?"

"Oh, I'm here to refill. Listen to the old man here, this incense is particular about burning it, and it can't be broken! ”

"I see."

Yan Zifu seemed to have an understanding, she said that when she was a child, the night when her grandfather was gone, why was there always someone spinning around on the spiritual platform in front of the coffin.

It turned out to be adding oil and lamps and fiddling with candles!

"Well, Zifu, you don't have to worry about it, Auntie is going out, and there are still some trivial things to be busy outside."

"Okay."

After Yan Zifu and Han Chubai nodded in agreement, they watched Han's mother hurriedly go out of the door.

Looking back, Yan Zifu was about to ask Han Chubai something.

But as soon as Han's mother left on the front foot, an uninvited guest came into the house on the back foot.

"I'll just say you're here, they don't believe it yet!"

"......" Yan Zifu and Han Chubai.

This man is here to prove this thing?

What's the point?

Self-cooked!

"Hey, why don't you ignore me? Whoa, I thought you weren't fun staying here! It's really sad. ”

"So, Ah Tong, why are you here?"

Yan Zifu is sweating.

This brother next door seems to have a bigger heart.

Now in such a solemn place, it is too reckless to be so frizzy.

"Ah, yes. I'm here to ask if you want to go out for a walk. At the end, Ah Tong added, "Not only me, but many others!"

"No, no."

Yan Zifu refused simply and neatly.

“...... Don't go. Han Chubai was silent for a moment, and said directly: "You guys go." ”

"Understood, understood. I'll just say you're not in the mood to go. They insisted that I come to you and ask you. Okay, I'll go first. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ah Tong rode out of the dust and ran out of the gate.

“......”

Yan Zifu and Han Chubai were silent again.

Yan Zifu lowered her eyes and secretly complained: Ah Tong, Zhang Fei's temperament, Cao Cao's face, really vividly interprets recklessness and fickleness.

didn't be silent anymore, Yan Zifu said directly: "Chubai, are you leaving?" ”

"Hmm."

"Really?" Originally, it was just a casual question, but it didn't come to fruition, Yan Zifu was surprised: "When?" ”

"Tomorrow."

"Is it so sudden? Can't it be a little later? I mean stay at home for two days before leaving. ”

“...... No. They were all arranged. ”

It means that he can't be the master either.

Also, at their age, they can't get out of the control of their parents.

They really have to listen to the parents' words of 'obey all orders'.

"And when are you coming back?"

Hearing this, Yan Zifu was anxious, and she continued: "What about the New Year? New Year's Eve back? ”

"Probably not coming back." Han Chubai shook his head and said truthfully: "There are no relatives here." ”

"......" Yan Zifu was silent.

She couldn't argue with that.

But she still said: "If you have time, let's hang out." Here, and us. ”

"You guys?"

"That's right, Sister Beibei, Xu Jiayue, and Brother Tao are all here. From now on, it will be up to us to receive you and you. ”

I don't know which sentence surprised Han Chubai, causing him to turn his head to look at Yan Zifu, as if he couldn't bear to say: "It turns out that they haven't told you yet." ”

“？” Yan Zifu.

What else are they hiding from her?

She wondered, "What's the matter?" Tell me what? ”

"It seems that you really don't know anything."

"What's the deal? Hurry up, tell me! ”

Yan Zifu was curious.

She didn't see any secrets from them.

"Okay. You'll find out soon anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you now. ”

Han Chubai sighed before he said, "After all, it's not too early. ”

"......" Yan Zifu.

Late?

Could it be a long-ago secret?

Sample, this group of people is hiding it deep enough!

"The people who left, in fact, are not only our family, but also the Xu family."

Han Chubai deliberately glanced at Yan Zifu when she said this, and sure enough, she saw shock and disbelief in her eyes.

He paused and continued, "They also moved with their families. ”

"......" Yan Zifu.

This TMD is definitely a shocking secret!

Why didn't anyone inform her!

She was terrified!

Yan Zifu's eyes widened, and she tried to be as calm as possible: "When?" ”

"The day after tomorrow."

Is it so sudden?

She's going to break down!

"It's not."

Yan Zifu tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiled, and corrected someone: "I'm asking when you heard about it." ”
