When Chen Zhenmin arrived at Xu Xi's house, a white lantern had already been hung on the door. It was probably the help of the vault guards. The door was not closed, Chen Zhenmin pursed his lips, did not knock on the door, and pushed the door in.

There was no one in the courtyard and lobby, Chen Zhenmin walked to Tang Rou's door and saw Xu Xi kneeling beside the bed.

Xu Xi had already changed into clean funeral clothes for Tang Rou, and his face had been washed, and when he noticed the sound at the door, Xu Xi turned his head, and Chen Zhenmin realized that Xu Xi's eyes were full of bloodshots.

"Why are you here?" Xu Xi spoke, his voice hoarse.

"I'll see if there's anything I can do to help." Chen Zhenmin said, without moving a step, but still retreated at the door of the room.

"Thank you. But I don't hold a funeral, and when the coffin arrives, I will be buried directly. Xu Xi thought that Chen Zhenmin was here to help organize the funeral, and she didn't plan to do that. The funeral is for the living, and the blessings that the dead do not enjoy while they are alive, no matter how grand the funeral is, it is meaningless.

"I'm here to help carry the coffin." There is always something Chen Zhenmin can do.

After Chen Zhenmin finished speaking, he completely withdrew from the door, leaving little time for Xu Xi and Tang Rou to be alone. He was waiting for the coffin outside the courtyard.

The cold wind was cold, but Chen Zhenmin's mind was clearer than before, the past was like watching flowers, and the scenes were projected in his mind, he couldn't restrain himself, so he had to think about it.

Most of the time the woman was lying on the couch, and she was always smiling, smiling at Chen Zhenmin. The Chen family style is strict, Chen Zhenmin can't tell, he often goes to Tang Rou's place, whether it is because of Xu Xi, or he himself found a leisure place to avoid his studies. Young children, after all, will ask about their studies. After Tang Rou asked Chen Zhenmin about the school several times in the early days, she found that this child was not a reading material, and the topic never involved studies anymore. Most of it is life, and more often than not, it is not words, but objects. A pair of winter socks in autumn and winter, and a few sweatbands in summer. Chen Zhenmin didn't know what Tang Rou's body did to do these small things.

Whenever she asked her not to do it, she always thought that she would do it for Xu Xi, and if she did it more, she would give Chen Zhenmin and prevaricate in the past. However, the size and style of women and men are very different after all, and he does not debunk them, and accepts this love from the bottom of his heart.

He had seen Xu Xi's expression every time she returned home, no matter whether it was sunny or rainy, she waited at the ferry early. Xu Xi chattered a few times, and she didn't go to the ferry or city gate to wait.

He remembered that Xu Xi was still chattering at that time, Tang Rou was careless, and the subordinates were also confused, and every time she went back, the door was always open. Xu Xi often returns at night, and it is like a daytime, and the door is wide open. But she didn't know that the open door was Tang Rou's softest heart. Every time Xu Xi was about to return home, Tang Rou would climb the hill in the backyard, nothing else, just climb high and look far away. She could see Xu Xi's return home from a distance. The door, naturally, opened for her.

And now, the door that was always open for her has been completely closed, and it will never be opened for her again.

"Tang family coffin-" Before he could enter the door, there was a sound outside the courtyard. This is the tradition of coffin makers. The coffin summons the soul and tells the dead that your "road" to the Hades Hall has arrived, don't run around, you won't be able to go back when the time comes, and you will become a lonely ghost. It is also to tell the living that they can pack up and put the coffin in it.

Chen Zhenmin wiped his face and kicked out.

"Please come with me with the coffin." After greeting the guys in the coffin shop, Chen Zhenmin led them outside Tang Rou's house. It stands to reason that this decoration hall has to ask for the children of the deceased, generally speaking, sons, but Tang Rou only has one daughter in Xu Xi's life. Her mother's relatives, her eldest brother and father have all passed away. However, after a person dies, his body is stiff, how can Xu Xi carry Tang Rou? Moreover, there can be no mistakes on the way to the museum after death, and stumbling and colliding are blasphemy against the deceased.

"I'll do it." Chen Zhenmin pursed his lips, hesitated again and again, and stepped forward. is reasonable, he can also be regarded as Tang Rouming's son-in-law, and it is reasonable for him to carry the corpse.

Xu Xi was stunned and looked at Chen Zhenmin. Carrying the corpse is not a good errand, the corpse is heavy, and the dead are women, everyone avoids it for fear of bad luck, Chen Zhenmin really doesn't have to do this.

However, Chen Zhenmin had already walked to the bedside one step ahead of her. He saluted Tang Rou's corpse.

"Offended."

After speaking, he knelt on one knee and turned his back to Tang Rou. With his hands back, he pulled Tang Rou's body up and took advantage of the situation to carry her body on her back.

He gritted his teeth and stood up on the ground. Green tendons loom on both sides of the forehead. But he walked steadily and heavily with every step.

Xu Xi didn't say anything more, and picked up the spirit card on the table that Tang Rou had prepared for herself early in the morning. The spirit card and coffin were prepared by Tang Rou early in the morning. Where does the child know this, she has already arranged the aftermath early. She died and did not want to burden Xu Xi.

There has to be a person who holds the spirit card, and this person must also be a blood person.

Chen Zhenmin carefully put Tang Rou's body into the coffin, and waited for Xu Xi to step forward and tidy up his clothes again.

"Miss Xu, is the time for the burial set?" The person who sent the coffin determined the time with Xu Xi. Generally, funerals last for three days, but some of them last for one day and seven days. Now that wars are raging, he is not easy to handle these days.

"Now seal the coffin and bury it immediately." Xu Xi spoke.

The man who sent the coffin was obviously stunned when he heard Xu Xi's words, and it took a while to react. I couldn't help but look at Xu Xi twice, but I also knew that he was a guy in a coffin shop, and he was not related to Xu Xi, and he had nothing to do with the dead Tang Rou. Every family has their own accounts, and they are in this business, and they are in contact with life and death every day, and it is right to say less and see less and do less.

"That's fine. Seal the coffin. The guy nodded at Xu Xi, and then lifted the coffin with Chen Zhenmin and covered the coffin. In the end, the stake of this coffin had to be ordered by Xu Xi. Those of them who have nothing to do with it don't have that position.

"Bell-bell-bell-" Suddenly, only this sound echoed in the air. The guy in the coffin shop couldn't help but shudder, and this hammer after hammer was more like hitting Xu Xi's heart, she used to feel a piercing pain, it must have been rolling in the ground, but now she understands that the pain is densely spread in every inch of bone and blood in your body, you seem to be trapped in a cage that can't be stretched, you can't make a sound, you can't get out. And that torment lasts forever.

The mad voice finally ended.

"After sealing the coffin, carry the coffin." The guy at the coffin shop breathed a sigh of relief.

There were only three of them, Xu Xi had to hold the spirit card, and four people had to carry the coffin, and Chen Zhenmin was here to help. Without saying a word, he walked to the upper left corner in front of the coffin and stood still.

The coffin shop didn't expect this to be the case. In general, it is not their turn to carry the coffin. Tang Rou's coffin is a fine huanghuali, such wood can only be used by wealthy people. Because the coffin is the last way for people to return, the material of the coffin is more particular, and ordinary people are not good, even if they shrink their clothes and diet, the coffin must be made of cedar. In terms of size, the door is not far from seven, and the coffin is not far from eight. The size of the coffin ordered by Tang Rou is also a rare eight or eight in a year. With such a row, those who have the seal of the government can't reach it if they are rich. And such a family, there is still a shortage of coffins? It was the coffin shop who did not expect this to be the case. However, the dead are big, and they have to grit their teeth. The four of them finally got together. One person carried the corner of the coffin, Xu Xi held the spirit card in the front, and the coffin was buried in the Tang family's burial mound, which can be regarded as returning to the roots.

The coffin was not steady, and Chen Zhenmin carried the coffin for the first time, which was far heavier than he imagined. There was a blood mark carved on his shoulder, and the person in the coffin shop was not a person who carried the coffin for a long time, let alone Chen Zhenmin.

"Squeak-" With a sound, the burden on Chen Zhenmin's shoulders slipped suddenly, and Chen Zhenmin's heart was cold, "Not good!" ”

However, the expected thump did not come, Chen Zhenmin's shoulder burden regained his balance in the next moment, and he wanted to turn his head to look, but the huge coffin blocked his vision.

"Keep walking!" A female voice came from behind him.

"Class master......" Chen Zhenmin heard it, it was Shen Enlai's voice. The burden on his shoulders seemed lighter.

The coffin-carrying procession continued to move forward. Chen Zhenmin felt that the burden on his shoulders was lighter again. A person walked to the side and walked side by side, Chen Zhenmin turned his head, and Han Qianjin's face was reflected.

"Steady forward." Han Qianjin looked ahead.

The people who originally carried the coffin have all been replaced by people from Class 6. It's late, but it's here.
