Chapter 518: Simplify the Complex
I took the elevator and went straight downstairs to the underground garage, and as soon as I arrived at the garage, I found that the atmosphere today was really different.
Although it looks like the garage is still the same garage, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I always feel that today's garage is more solemn than usual.
Xiao Rou took me straight to the secret door, today there is a strange neighbor guarding the door, also dressed in ancient costumes, seeing that it is me and Xiao Rou did not stop much, and directly put us in.
"Thirteen's body is on the eighth floor, Xiaoyu and they are also there, and some neighbors are already on the roof." After Xiao Rou's introduction, I gave a soft "oh" as a response, and then asked, "What about the two of us?" Go up to the eighth floor or go straight to the roof? ”
Xiao Rou didn't seem to be able to make up her mind, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "You and I can go up directly, you and I are both juniors, and we are not the protagonists of this funeral, just be a follower and accompany him on the last journey." ”
I replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
The protagonist of the funeral, Xiao Rou can really talk...
When Xiaorou and I went up to the eighth floor, I saw a few neighbors busy, putting flowers and candles on the ground on both sides of the stairs.
I don't know anything about flowers and plants, but at first glance I can feel that the kind of flowers they put on are not common, the flowers are very large, round, and very bright, unlike the northern varieties.
We didn't stop on the eighth floor, but continued to walk up.
After going up to the top here, it is the same as what I saw with Chen Haobei on the roofs of other units before, there is an iron door, the difference is that this iron door is open and not welded. As soon as Xiaorou and I turned into the last flight of steps, we saw the light coming in from outside the door.
It's bright and a little glaring.
I was a little excited to follow Xiao Rou step by step to the final gate, and the moment I stepped out of the gate, I really felt like a mountain was looking up, and I couldn't help but stand in place and carefully look at everything around me.
There are already a lot of neighbors on the roof of the building, and they are all wearing the clothes they wore when the community held a wedding.
I was surprised by the layout of the roof, and as soon as I walked on the roof, I found that there was a circle in front of me... It doesn't look like a special bungalow.
These bungalows add up to about twenty or thirty rooms, surrounded by a circle on the front and back, left and right, and a square space larger than a basketball court is vacated in the middle.
It is said that the area of the top floor must be more than this, and the visual inspection of this enclosed space is to add those houses, which may not even be half of the area of the entire top floor.
The architectural style of these bungalows is very simple, so simple that it is even a little rudimentary, and at first glance it makes people think that they have built illegal buildings without permission after these buildings were built.
To be honest, compared with the unusualness that was previously shown in the community, when I saw these bungalows with simple workmanship, but the painting style was quite in line with modern times, and the visual was very ordinary, I was a little disappointed in my heart, because it was too inconsistent with the aesthetics they had shown in the past.
But after a little thought, it will be clear that in this era, aerial photography drone equipment is simply not too popular, if they really build a unique building on the roof, it is estimated that before the foundation is laid, it will be a well-known 'Internet celebrity' attraction.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered the scene when Yuan Tai first came to the community to look for trouble, when a man stood on the edge of the roof and threw the bag of dried sausages down. But if you look at it this way now, there is no way to reach the edge of the roof of the building at that time, it is surrounded by these bungalows, is it over the roof?
Thinking of the air-dried sausage, I couldn't help but look around more closely... No, not a single one on the roof.
In these bungalows with closed doors... It can't be empty, right?
I couldn't help but wipe the tens of thousands of goosebumps that had suddenly appeared on my arms, because it occurred to me that if there were still leftovers for drying sausages in these bungalows, it would be so exciting...
Thinking of this, I subconsciously sniffed... Forehead... It does smell weird, and it's even more terrifying...
I retracted my mind and continued to look, and in the middle of the clearing surrounded by this circle of bungalows, there was already a circle of flowers, and several neighbors were still sorting out them. In the center of the circle formed by the flowers, there is an open space the size of a double bed, empty.
"Xiao Rou... What is the specific process in a moment? How it looks... Pretty sketchy? ”
I whispered to Xiaorou, and Xiaorou replied: "I guess you also know some things about us, which is also a habit that has been handed down at that time, the wedding banquet is grand, and the funeral is simple." After all, in the earliest days, weddings represented an increase in population and were something to celebrate. The funeral represents the eternal departure of another companion, when the companion left, most of them were in the wilderness, so it was basically a fire to bury on the spot, after all... Others still have to hurry, they still have to survive, and if they have passed, they don't have to be too nostalgic. ”
"Oh... Very open-minded. ”
I was amazed from the bottom of my heart.
In fact, I agree with what Xiaorou said, not to mention anything else, you can see it just by looking at our village.
When I was a child, my family was poor, and some of the villagers in the same village liked to work hard to fulfill their filial piety when the old man was still alive, so that the old man could spend his old age in peace, and when the old man died after a hundred years, he would also choose to make the funeral simpler, after all, the funeral was more for the living to see, and the one lying in the coffin would not really feel anything.
But there are also a few well-known unfilial sons in the village, who beat their fathers and scolded their mothers when their parents were alive, and they didn't feel like they were happy until the old people were in the ground.
At that time, there were several famous grand funerals in the village, and the organizers were all these unfilial sons.
At the funeral, crying one by one was called a heartache, and the chili oil mustard sauce was wiped on the eyes, and Oscar was immediately possessed, and all those who didn't know could be infected by their touching filial piety.
And the end?
A group of fake filial sons thought that after this funeral, they had all kinds of abuse of the old man when their parents were alive. When it all disappears, it will no longer exist, and you can still collect a large amount of money when you are done.
"Alright, here they are." Xiao Rou suddenly whispered to me, and then pulled me to the side.
And the other neighbors also stood in a circle around the bungalows, waiting quietly.
"The soul is back!
Go to Jun Zhiheng, what is the Quartet?
The pleasure of the king, and the ominous away from the other.
The Soul Returns! The East can't hold some up.
There are thousands of elders, but the soul is a few.
Ten days out, flowing gold and stones.
They are all accustomed to it, and the soul will be released.
Return! No, you can't hold some up.
The Soul Returns! The South can't stop there.
Carved black teeth, win people. The flesh is worshipped, and the bones are the bones.
The pit viper is viper, and the fox is thousands of miles away. ”
From the door to the roof, a melodious and ethereal singing voice gradually came out, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
"What they sang was the "Conjuring Speech" written by Master Qu Yuan of the pre-Qin Dynasty."
Xiao Rou explained to me in a whisper.
