As the strange tone of the song got closer and closer, Lao Gu took the lead, Xiao Yu Xiaoshuang followed closely side by side, followed by Ah San Ah Si, and then the four of them lined up in a vertical row, carrying the black wooden coffin and walking out.

The coffin was followed by some familiar or unfamiliar neighbors, if my guess was correct, if Xiao Rou hadn't fooled me just now, these people would add up... It should be all the members of the old guys, right?

After all, among these people, I have seen a lot of people who usually don't show up in public like today, such as the white Zhuo Ye, the back killer who has never been very gregarious but has always been very respected, all the aunts and old ladies who usually bask in the sun in the yard, as well as those old men who bask in the sun together, and even the cold-faced doorman came.

Oh, by the way, there is a person who didn't come, Brother Zhang, he is still in the courtyard to continue to guard his 'filial piety'.

But in the end, he can't be regarded as 'his own person', so if he doesn't come, he won't come.

And also... The white kid I saw talking to Jingsheng that day didn't come.

Other than that, it's all there.

Sprinkled with more than 100 people, everyone consciously leaned on the bungalow to form a square closed loop, quietly watching.

The person in charge of singing "The Conjuring Speech" turned out to be Lao Gu.

This is the first time I've heard him sing, and I have to say that the old man's vicissitudes of voice really have a special charm when singing a certain type of tune.

Lao Gu is also dressed in ancient costumes today, but I always feel that his dress is not like an orthodox ancient costume, a bit like the looser style worn by the dancing god, and he also wears a very exaggerated hat on his head.

The hat was very tall, like a chef's hat, but it was not white, but black with a black base, and the whole surface was embroidered with very intricate patterns, some parts of which looked vaguely like the angry eyes of some kind of Buddhist painting, but not exactly.

Lao Gu dressed up strangely and led the coffin carrying team, while circling around the flower platform in the middle, singing "Conjuring Words". And Xiaorou and I, as well as other neighbors who came up in advance, stood silently in the outer circle, quietly watching.

Many neighbors are secretly wiping their tears, but no one makes a special contrived cry, and it can be seen that they are different from the "filial sons" in our village, and their sadness is from the bottom of their hearts, not for others to see.

Lao Gu looks very haggard today, but in fact, not only Lao Gu, Xiaoyu and none of them have a ruddy face, and everyone seems to have been drained of their souls.

However, the process of the funeral is really simple, so simple that there is nothing else except for Lao Gu walking and singing with the team.

I don't count how many times they have turned, I just know that Lao Gu's voice is hoarse when he sings. As Lao Gu's voice became more and more hoarse, the sadness contained in his singing became heavier and heavier, and the sobs of the neighbors became more and more dense.

Finally, after a mournful wail that resounded through the heavens and the earth, Lao Gu stopped, instructed the neighbor who was in charge of carrying the coffin, and placed the coffin in the open space in the middle of the wreath.

"Juniors, stand down, and watch the next picture when you grow up."

Lao Gu suddenly said this, and Xiao Rou immediately replied: "Yes, Gu Ye." ”

After saying this, she signaled that I could leave, I made her confused, seeing that Xiaorou was already pulling me who didn't react, I hurriedly followed: "Yes, Gu Ye." Then he followed Xiaorou out of the roof.

When the two of us went downstairs one after the other, Xiao Rou was still wiping her eyes, I looked back at the empty stairs from time to time, and when I reached the floor of our cave room, I was sure that the distance from the top of the building was far enough, I couldn't help it, so I asked, "Xiao Rou, what's going on?" Juniors are the only two of us? Aren't you the same as Jing Wei? I saw that he was also on it, and who was Jingsheng, why is this specifically to drive the two of us away? ”

Xiao Rou choked up and explained, "No, it's said that you junior... It means that the time you have joined us is still too short, you can only participate in this link, I am your person, so I want to be with you, it has nothing to do with age. ”

After listening to Xiaorou's explanation, I became more and more depressed and said, "Huh? You let me change my clothes and climb the stairs so that I can stand here for a while? Xiao Rou continued to explain: "It's good to let you stand for a while, isn't Chen Haobei not even qualified to come up?" ”

I let Xiao Rou be speechless, what I said, as if I should be so rare today's precious opportunity, and the one who died was not a big person...

Forget it, the dead are the greatest, don't care.

After thinking about it, I changed the subject and asked, "So what should we do next?" That's it for today, and that's all I need to do? ”

Xiao Rou suddenly stood still, turned her head to look back at the top of the stairs, and said faintly: "I don't know, Gu Ye didn't say it, you can do whatever you want." ”

I...

I asked helplessly, "What about you?" Why are you going? Xiao Rou replied, "I'll go home and rest, I... I'm not very comfortable yet. ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together... Oh, don't look at me like that, I'm not saying I'm going to your house to rest with you, I'm saying I'm going to rest too, I'll go back to my house! I'm married, really... Alas, let's go, let's go. ”

When I was a child, I also participated in other people's funerals in my hometown, even if it was the most shallow neighbor, it was impossible to leave after the funeral was halfway through, which was very unfriendly to the family of the deceased in my cognitive habits, and the best result was to suffer a few cool words from the neighbors.

Today, for the first time in my life, I felt awkward.

So Xiao Rou just gave me a look that questioned me, which made me a little inexplicably irritable, this is not what I want to quit halfway, this... Forget it, don't worry about the woman in your menstrual period, I'll go home too.

Striding downstairs, I was dumbfounded the moment I stepped out of the secret door, I went, the doorkeeper was not at home, why did so many people come in the garage quietly?

If it weren't for the two people who took the lead, I knew them, and looking at the murderous posture of these twenty or thirty men in black, I guess I would be so frightened that I would have to go back to the secret door and shout for help.

"A thousand!" The person who took the lead also saw me and said hello to me, and I quickly responded as I walked towards him, "Brother Chen, Brother Lei, why are you here?" These brothers are..."

Chen Zhonghai reluctantly squeezed out a smile and replied: "It's okay a thousand, you have seen most of them, it's our own brother, don't think about it, Brother Chen came to apologize to Gu Ye... At the time of Thirteen's accident, although he was nominally my bodyguard, since he was helping me with things at the time, I was also responsible for his safety... People are because I am gone, Gu Ye told me yesterday that according to their rules, I am not qualified to attend the funeral of the thirteen brothers, but if I don't come here today, I will not be able to be sure in my heart for the rest of my life. ”
