Chapter 66: A Hasty Funeral
"What's wrong with Letty?" Xia Zhuming held Xue Haitong's hand tightly, and her face was full of fear.
"Her dad was in a car accident and died!" Xue Haitong said that when he walked, he deliberately turned sideways to block Xia Zhuming's view.
It seemed like it took a long time to get to Letty. Letty's face was solemn at the moment, and she stopped crying, but she sobbed from time to time, and her eyes looked blankly at the place of the white cloth, as if her soul was out of her body, and her wet hair was dripping with water, but she let it rage.
"Letty!" Xia Zhuming called softly, and then picked up a tissue to wipe her face, I don't know if it was tears or rain.
But no sooner had her hand touched her face than Letty threw herself on her, hugged her tightly, and then wept.
Xia Zhuming is not a comforting person, she can only hug her tightly, and tears flow.
"My mother doesn't answer the phone, and my brother-in-law is pregnant, so she won't let Zhiqiang come over. My sister won't come over! Letty cried, helpless.
Actually, she also called Song Yuanxi, but Song Yuanxi didn't answer the phone, and Xia Zhuming only found out about this later.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Xia Zhuming cried and comforted, "It's okay, don't cry!" ”
The two hugged and cried for a long time, and did not stop until the funeral home's car came.
Letty, who had not had the courage to take one last look just now, looked at the staff of the funeral home, and when she was about to carry Zhang's father's body into the car, Letty suddenly let go of Xia Zhuming's hand and ran to the body and cried excitedly.
Xia Zhuming was anxious, and hurriedly ran over, wanting to stop Letty, but unexpectedly, Letty just opened the white cloth, revealing the remains of Zhang's father, although it is not as exaggerated as those people who eat melons say that they are "crushed" into mud, but it is also blurred flesh and blood.
Xia Zhuming suddenly felt sick to her stomach, followed by a tumbling, and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, but her eyes were still there. After a while, I felt that my eyes were dark, and my body was moved to the side by a pair of powerful arms. When I saw the light again, I found myself standing in front of Xue Haitong, and what my eyes could see was his broad back.
"Don't look!" Xue Haitong whispered, his hands wrapped around his back, protecting her tightly.
"Letty~~" Xia Zhuming was always relieved in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at her.
"Lu is winning!"
Sure enough, although Xia Zhuming didn't listen to him from beginning to end, he was always by Letty's side. The staff of the funeral home are accustomed to seeing life and death parting, and they are cold bystanders in the face of Leletty's grief, and their indifferent eyes seem to be blaming Letty for hindering their work.
Lu Ying didn't stop her either, and let her cry there. The staff of the funeral home urged her several times, and Lu Ying pulled her away from the body a little. Letty threw herself into his arms and cried, Lu Ying was stunned at first, and then slowly reached out and touched her head, whispering comfort in her ear. Before that, he didn't dare to get too close, because he knew that he wasn't that important in her world.
The driver who hit the person was also injured and was taken to the hospital, but the police have not yet finished processing it, and the body cannot be cremated immediately, and it will not be dealt with until the accident is dealt with. Seeing the car of the funeral home drive out of sight, Xue Haitong let go of Xia Zhuming.
Xia Zhuming looked around and found that the onlookers had gradually dispersed, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground and the dilapidated vehicle. The sky was getting darker and darker, as if it was about to go into the night. However, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, and it was nightfall.
"Let's go, it's going to rain heavily!" Xue Haitong shouted at Lu Ying, and then pulled Xia Zhuming away, "Where is your car parked?" ”
"Right there!" Xia Zhuming pointed in the direction in which he parked.
The two got into Xia Zhuming's car, Lu Ying took Letty away, originally to send her back, but Letty didn't want to go home, so Xia Zhuming could only stay with her. Xue Haitong was originally going to Xia Zhuming's house, but she didn't go back, and there was no need for him to go. And Lu Ying was brought in by Xue Haitong to strengthen his courage, and those two people stayed, so he had even more reason to stay.
The four of them found a random place and sat for a long time. After the accident was dealt with in the afternoon, she accompanied Letty to the funeral home, and after the cremation of Zhang's father's body, she accompanied Letty to take Zhang's father's ashes, and then went to her hometown, found the elders of the clan, went to the mountain to find a place, and buried it. There was no funeral, and only the four of them saw them off.
In front of the small grave, there was only a bouquet of flowers that Xia Zhuming bought on the way here. The elders who led the way probably felt a little shabby, and while they were digging a pit, they ran to the commissary and bought firecrackers, incense and candles, and some money.
Hurriedly buried Zhang's father, and then returned to the city, it was close to nine o'clock, obviously he hadn't eaten for most of the day, but everyone didn't seem to be hungry, especially Letty, all day, the grain of rice had not been eaten, but she didn't even want to drink saliva, if it wasn't for Lu Ying repeatedly handing the water bottle to her mouth, she might not have remembered to drink water.
Dinner was also at Lu Ying's repeated requests, and she was willing to go and eat some.
Xia Zhuming also wanted to go to Letty's place to spend the night, but Letty was very resistant, "You've been with me for a day today, go back quickly!" I'm fine! ”
"I'm going to talk to you!" Xia Zhuming insisted.
"I really don't need to!" Letty smiled reluctantly, then looked at Xue Haitong and Lu Ying and said, "I'm really fine, thank you today!" Go back quickly! ”
Xia Zhuming still wanted to hold on, but was robbed by Lu Ying, "Then I'll send you back!" ”
"No need!" Letty said, "I can go back on my own, my house is not far from here!" ”
Lu Ying opened the car door for her as if he hadn't heard, looking straight at Letty with deep eyes, not speaking, but as if he had given an order.
Letty was a little afraid of him, hesitated, no longer refused, and obediently got into the car.
"I'll pick you up later!" After the car started, Lu Ying turned around and said hello to Xue Haitong.
Only when their car was out of sight did they get in the car and leave. The car drove all the way to the parking lot, and Xue Haitong sent her to the elevator door before thinking about leaving.
"How do you get back?" Xia Zhuming looked tired, but she still didn't forget to worry about her sweetheart, "Why don't I send you back?" ”
It seems that she didn't hear what Lu Ying said.
"No need!" Xue Haitong smiled slightly, reached out and touched her head, "Lu Ying will come to pick me up." ”
Hearing Lu Ying's name, Xia Zhuming remembered the question in the morning, "Why was Lu Ying there this morning?" Was it Letty who contacted him? ”
