68 adopted daughter - B 002

At noon that day, Guo Sanri had dinner and was boredly flipping through idle books, but was interrupted by the sound of a car horn. He walked out helplessly, looking at a van parked in front of the door, the body was sprayed with the words of the funeral home, and next to the car stood a little fat man in a short-sleeved shirt, leaning on the door and not in a hurry to come in, so Guo Sanri strolled over and asked about the situation.

This is really the car of the city funeral home not far away, this morning there was a foreign couple in the funeral home, their family of three was traveling to China, but unfortunately the little girl died of a sudden illness. Her mother fainted several times, and with the support of her husband, she reluctantly came to the funeral home to see her daughter on her last journey. But at the moment when he saw his daughter's body pushed into the crematorium, he still couldn't accept the strong blow and passed out again. The man, who had already lost his daughter and could no longer bear the pain of losing his wife, sent his wife to the hospital after entrusting the place to the accompanying personnel. After dealing with the relevant matters, the staff of the funeral home decided to send him to the cemetery of Erguo Sanri, first, the foreign couple had said that they would bury their daughter in her own hometown; In addition, although there is a tradition of storing it in a funeral home for a period of time and choosing a good day before being buried in the cemetery, the customs in foreign countries may be different, and they cannot stay in China for so long, so it is better to make arrangements as early as possible. In fact, there is another reason that outsiders don't know, there are some unexpected situations after the cremation of the little girl's body. The remnants are not all gray-white substances as before, but there is a crystal in a pile of ashes, which looks like a mineral like a diamond to the naked eye, but the specific composition cannot be judged, and it is always impossible to send people's bodies to the laboratory for testing, not to mention that the little girl is already a foreign national, and it is difficult to clean up the matter, so after thinking about it left and right, it is more safe to send it directly to the cemetery. In this case, more things are better than less things, so they were directly pulled to Guo Sanri, and they were not reported according to the special incident, so the matter did not have any impact, only a few people knew, including this little fat man who drove over. Probably out of inner anxiety and kindness, the little fat man reminded Guo Sanri to check it out before leaving, and to see if there was anything to deal with and adjust himself.

After Guo Sanri politely sent the little fat man away, he returned to his monitoring room, thinking back to what the little fat man said just now, he always felt a little curious, what is "to be dealt with"? Only one urn was delivered, so what do you need to "see"? Does he need to make any progress after cremation, isn't this nonsense, after the temperature of several thousand degrees, only the ashes will be left, is it ....... Thinking of this, Guo Sanri suddenly stared at the urn curiously, and looked at it carefully, could it be that there was really something unusual in it, and he couldn't help but shake his head again, he must have thought too much, how could there be such a thing, let alone a little girl, any living thing put in it, it was also refined, how could there be other things. But after pondering repeatedly before the little fat man left, his two eyes were staring at the details of the urn when he spoke, and not only did some doubts arise in his heart, but after thinking about it a few times, Guo Sanri still decided to open it first and take a look, after all, the thing is to be placed in the cemetery, and out of consideration for all parties, it is also necessary for him to check it carefully.

Guo Sanri found a piece of red cloth, put it under the box, closed the doors and windows and burned a few pillars of incense, took out two pieces of the amulet he brought back from the island last time, put one in his pocket, and pressed the other under the red cloth, and slowly opened the box after communicating with the deceased with his hands in his heart. After Guo Sanri saw it clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised that there was a huge diamond in the middle of the small box, at least it looked like a diamond. Although I am still full of curiosity about how such a thing could be incinerated in the body of a little girl, I am at least relieved, and it seems that this should not have any bad effect on people.

At this moment, a business car came from the door, and a foreign couple got out of it. Guo Sanri thought that this must be the little girl's parents, so he cleaned up the house and went out. Under the introduction of the accompanying interpreter, as Guo Sanri thought, this is the girl's mother who has just woken up after being rescued by the hospital, and next to her is her husband. Originally, the hospital did not agree with her leaving, but after learning that she passed out when her daughter was cremated and could not be present to accompany her, if she could not rush over in time to accompany her daughter on the last journey when the cemetery was buried, then she would probably not forgive herself for the rest of her life. The hospital also took into account that the cemetery was relatively quiet and did not stimulate people's emotions too much, so they reluctantly agreed, but when they left, they still prescribed a lot of drugs that had a sedative effect, and gave a lot of instructions.

After checking the relevant procedures, Guo Sanri took them into the cemetery. The couple knew in advance that their daughter's ashes had been brought by the staff of the funeral home, so they wanted to retrieve them and take them to the grave. Guo Sanri's face was a little embarrassed for a while, you must know that there is such a thing as "diamond" in the ashes, in fact, it is not very easy to say, especially when both parties do not understand it at the moment, and the language is not very convenient to communicate, it is necessary to be more cautious. Guo Sanri thought about it again and again, and decided that it would be better for fewer people to know about this matter, so he found an excuse and asked the accompanying interpreter to wait outside for a while, and he took the couple into the monitoring room. In the small room, Guo Sanri found a place, asked the two to sit down first, then poured two glasses of water for them, hesitated to stand up and made a calm gesture, and gently pressed the palms of his hands downward. The couple also sensed that Guo Sanri seemed to have something to tell them, but the accompanying interpreter was blocked out again, and the two looked at each other. After a while, Guo Sanri put the little girl's urn on the table in front of the couple and slowly opened it. The two were originally surprised by Guo Sanri's actions, opened their mouths wide, and the hand holding the water cup froze in mid-air, but when they saw the diamond inside, the two covered their mouths together, and the cup fell to the ground, fortunately, it was made of paper and did not make much noise. After a while, the man asked in English, "Is this my daughter?" Guo Sanri saw that he could speak English, although he was not very good at it, but the two sides could at least barely communicate, so he told them the general situation he knew.

According to Guo Sanri's understanding, this must be a smart and kind little girl, and this diamond should be refined from the carbon element in her body for some special reasons during cremation. He suddenly remembered the old dean who had died after taking an unknown drug, and he didn't know if a large number of crystals appeared at the time of cremation. The foreign couple also seemed to agree with Guo Sanri's idea, believing that it should indeed be the condensation of the substance on their daughter's body.

It was here that she and her husband met this girl with star-like eyes more than a year ago. At the time, she was just a few months old, and they hit it off and decided to adopt her. You must know that adopting a foreign orphan in their country is a very complicated matter, there are many procedures to go through, and after many trips back and forth between the two countries, the procedures are finally completed and the child is brought home smoothly. Unexpectedly, now their daughter has really become a "star" when she returns to her hometown, and when she says this, the two of them can't cry again. Guo tried to comfort him, but the restriction of language was limited. For example, he heard them say "this is a great loss" over and over again, which he understood only when some great people died, and it was impossible to ...... this little girl was a great scientist. In addition, the couple is also full of doubts about his language expression, for example, when he comforts them, he says: "You have worked hard to raise your child so big, it must be very sad for such a thing to happen, but everything must look forward ......", the couple will ask him what is hard work, why do you want to save money? Guo Sanri was confused when he was asked, and he didn't know how to answer. After a few minutes of initial communication, the only thing Guo Sanri was certain of was that both of them were speaking English with their own accents, and there was no meaningful communication other than that. Guo Sanri felt that in this situation of huge cultural differences between the two sides, he had better stop saying some self-righteous comforting words to add to the chaos. It's better to let the couple sit down first, stabilize for a while, and casually talk about some feelings that they are familiar with. So he said: "Every country will value children very much, and in our country they are likened to flowers, the future and hope, so I understand you very well, but I still have to take care of my body." What I didn't expect was that this time the two of them fully understood what he was saying and agreed very much. In their country due to various reasons, the proportion of the population has been seriously imbalanced, into a serious aging society, the elderly over 60 years old has accounted for 1/4 of the total population, every child for them is an important force for the society to move forward, no matter what his interests are, will be given full space to display, the greatest possible realization of their respective dreams, at the same time this must be in a certain field to promote social progress. Guo Sanri also agreed with their words very much, and also understood what they meant by "huge loss", and chatted a few more words, and the two of them were afraid that the accompanying interpreter would wait too long outside, so they stood up with their chairs and walked out with Guo Sanri. In the aisle of the monitoring room, Guo Sanri accidentally touched the wooden amulet in the pocket of his jacket, so he took out one and handed it to the couple and told the couple that it was a gift from a monk, and that they could give one to their daughter, and whether the diamond formed by their daughter needed to be taken out, or should they be buried together? According to Chinese culture, this crystalline is a very auspicious object that can be taken out and preserved. The husband and wife communicated and thought that their daughter had formed such a beautiful gem, and she must not want to bury it deep underground, but hoped to be seen by more people. So the three of them took care of it and re-covered the box, put the amulet next to it, and came out and walked towards the park with the interpreter.

Afterwards, Guo Sanri heard from a friend at the funeral home that the couple went to their place again before leaving, and asked for all the data on the day of the little girl's cremation. Because it was not an important thing, the leader agreed to give it to them, but everyone was curious, so he asked him to ask Guo Sanri if he knew any other reasons, or if there were any special customs ...... their country. Guo Sanri thought to himself, if he wanted to know that they could figure it out, since he didn't figure it out, then he naturally didn't know anything, and after a few simple replies, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Many years later, Guo Sanri heard that there was a technology abroad that could condense the carbon elements in human bones into diamonds, but it seemed to be completely different from cremation, and the conditions for it were very harsh and the asking price was very high. I don't know if this is related to the data brought back by the little girl's father back then. That's when he realized that they didn't seem to know anything about each other.
