Chapter 62: The Funeral (1)

Small footsteps sounded outside the door again, and then the door creaked open, and the sound of breathing became even louder for a moment.

Pushing the door in, it was a girl with a long ponytail, she was tall and fair-skinned, but she gave people the temperament of a royal sister.

It's really because the guests I've met recently are too lifeless, so I can't help but light up when I look at the pretty girl in front of me at this moment.

"You may be seated." Even my tone became gentle.

"Thank you." She smiled and nodded, and sat gracefully in front of me, behaving very pleasing to the eye.

"Are you the recorder?" The girl looked at me.

"yes, what's wrong?" I replied.

"No, it's just different from what I imagined, I always thought it was a very fierce uncle." The girl smiled.

Well, it's a little different, if you look at the owner here, you'll be even more surprised, eh, speaking of this little ghost, where has he been lately?

"Please start your story." I smiled and spoke.

The girl's face was pale, and she lowered her head slightly, and I could see the whiteness and panic on her face through the light of the stove.

She blinked for a long time, and her cherry-like lips began to quiver slowly.

My name is Anya, I am twenty-five years old this year, I am staying in school for graduate school and graduate school, and I am about to reach the final sprint stage, and I can't even waste time at night, but tonight I have to stop my study plan, because Liu Cheng is dead.

Liu Cheng is a male friend of mine, the same age as me, and he can play well, I am very shocked by this bad news, and incredible, I really can't accept it, and the living guy is gone.

What makes me even more uncomfortable is that this is not the first time that their family has held such a funeral, just a month ago his father died in a car accident, the news was a very big blow to him at that time, and I comforted him for a long time, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen now, which was really unexpected.

It was late at night, there was no light in the sky, like the black Dead Sea, the funeral was held in his house, his home was located in the suburbs, it was a courtyard house with age, the black tiles reflected the walls more white, the lantern in front of the door emitted a dim light, I was wearing a black dress holding a bouquet of white flowers, and quietly crossed the threshold and walked into the courtyard gate.

The air was filled with the smell of paper money and incense wax, the edge of the corridor was full of yellow chrysanthemums, and many people in black clothes came and went, and everyone's face showed regret and sadness.

In the center of the hall is a photo of Liu Cheng, in the black and white photo he is still that smiling face, I thought of not long ago in the circle of friends to see him smiling at the top of the mountain photo, but now it has stayed in the photo forever, a moment of sadness welled up in the heart, his mother is standing on the side, the face tortured by the years has long been haggard, tears seem to have flowed, I can understand, in just one month to lose her husband and son to how big a blow to her.

I stepped forward, placed the flower on the ground, picked up a stick of incense and stood in front of the photo, closed my eyes and silently prayed to bless him with smooth sailing on the way.

The night was already very deep, the guests were faintly dispersed, his mother fainted from crying, only I was the only one who had not left, I stayed in the next room, squatting in the corner in a depressed mood, he was really a good person when he was alive, I wanted to stay and keep vigil for him.

A cold wind blew outside the window, whistling and touching the window, the chandelier above the head flickered for some reason, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop a lot.

I wrapped my body, looked at the gloomy environment around me, pursed my lips, to be honest, I stayed alone in this empty mourning hall, and I was already scared in my heart, but whenever I heard Liu Cheng's sincere face, that sincere smile like sunshine, the fear was gradually suppressed.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps at the door, as if the snake was spitting out a letter, I shrunk my body, stared at the door with wide eyes, and felt that the tip of my tongue was a little uncontrollable, "Who, who is it?" ”

Legend has it that the deceased will not leave immediately after death, and will linger in the residence where they lived before their death and are reluctant to leave. Is it Liu Cheng?

"Liu Cheng? Is that you? I blinked, scared and expectant.

Walking into the door was indeed that familiar face, and I couldn't help but pause, but soon I realized that the person who came was not Liu Cheng, but a boy who looked very similar to Liu Cheng.

I instantly understood, I had heard Liu Cheng say that he had a younger brother, and it seemed that the person who came was his younger brother Liu Yang.

He was wearing filial piety clothes and looked at me in panic with a calm face, "Can I come in?" It's too lonely to be out on vigil alone. ”

I just kept looking at him, looking at his face that was very similar to Liu Cheng, and it took a long time to react, "Well, please come in." ”

He squatted next to me, looking at his white fingers in a daze, and my eyes fell on him again, I have to say, he did look like his brother.

"I'm sorry." I said, "I didn't expect the bad news to befall your mansion for the second time, and I really regret it." ”

"Are you my brother's girlfriend?" He spoke suddenly.

I was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook my head, "No, no, Liu Cheng and I are just friends." ”

"You like my brother, don't you?"

"What?" My eyes widened,

"I'm right, if you don't really like someone, who would want to stay alone in the gloomy mourning hall to keep vigil for that person." He looked at me, at my increasingly panicked face.

Then I ducked my head and stared at my toes, "How did your brother die?" ”

"When he was climbing the mountain, the iron rope suddenly broke, and he always liked to do these extreme sports during his lifetime." Liu Yang paused for a moment, "But that day, he climbed the mountain to pick a flower." ”

I stopped talking, fell silent, and after a long time my body began to tremble slowly, and I raised my hands to cover my face, only to realize that my tears had already burst out of my eyes at some point.

My body trembled more and more, the whole body became more and more cold, my heart was like a knife cut, he was right, I do like Liu Cheng, I like it very much, when I learned of his death, I almost fainted, the flower he went to pick that day was called Snow Lotus, which I showed to him many times that I liked the flower, this flower grew on the cliff, and he lost his young life in order to pick the flower I wanted.

I still couldn't control my body, as if my soul was going to be drained, I couldn't breathe uncomfortably, suddenly a warm and strong embrace hugged me, I turned my head in surprise, my eyes met his deep pupils, I didn't have time to make a sound, my lips were blocked by his hot kiss, I wanted to stop it, because this shouldn't happen at this time, and it was still in this place, but my body was as if it wasn't mine, I couldn't control it, Or maybe what I need most at this moment is the warmth of the sun, which is like being in hell.

The wind outside the window had stopped at some point, and the lights above me had ceased to flicker, so I got dressed and looked at the clock on the wall, and found that it was close to four o'clock in the morning.

My gaze was on Liu Yang again, his pupils were still deep, but at this moment I had an illusion, as if these pupils had become even darker and deeper, like an abyss.

"My brother is really a very good person, he treats everyone very well, and there is no place in his world that the sun can't find." He spoke like a whisper, and his calm voice sounded like a blade in my ears.

"So he likes to explore everywhere, to climb everywhere, to stand where the sun is closest to him." He sighed at this.

"Does my brother like you too?" Liu Yang raised his eyes to look at me, but I bit my lip and didn't speak.

He seemed to have expected it, and he looked down and smiled, I couldn't tell the meaning of the smile, "How did you meet my brother?" ”

I blinked, and the howling of the wind seemed to sound in my ears, as if I had returned to that cold night.

"Once upon a time, there was a girl who liked outdoor mountaineering very much, and by chance she met a boy who also liked mountaineering, and the two of them were like-minded and chatted very well, so they left each other's WeChat, but they did not expect to develop into very good friends, often go out camping together, and climb some unexplored peaks."

"When they were hiking together, they were trapped in a huge snowstorm, and the boy and girl were hiding in tents, huddled together in extreme cold to keep warm, and they brought very little food and water, but they could barely survive with some food a day."

"The girl was very scared, so the boy comforted the girl and said that the mountain god is spiritual, and it will never harm people who love life and nature, and told me a lot of bad jokes to make the girl laugh, looking at the boy's sincere and honest face, the girl unconsciously really felt a lot more at ease."

"Sure enough, a few days later, in the morning, the weather improved, and the sun shone on their tents, but it also illuminated the great and terrifying figure."

"Bear, they've met a bear."

"After the blizzard, the hungry bear was already eager to go out to forage for food, but the girl was so frightened that she lay there unable to move."

The girl turned to look at the boy, but the boy smiled and took her hand, and said as if jokingly, "Remember what the fairy tale says, bears don't eat the dead, let's compare to see who pretends to be dead and pretends to be more like, shall we?" ””

"Okay." For some reason, with the boy by her side, the girl gradually lost her fear in the face of such a huge and ferocious bear. ”

Their hands were clasped together, their eyes closed, and they slowly held their breath, and the movement grew so loud that the girl could even hear the bear's exhalation, but she was not afraid.

But after a while, the boy's hand suddenly twisted hard, the girl let go in pain, he broke free, and fled frantically, at that moment, the girl seemed to fall into hell, sure enough, fairy tales are all lies, he does not believe in fairy tales, the girl's heart is dead, never so desperate as at this moment."

But the bear did not come to the girl's side, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the bear had already roared and pounced in the direction he had fled.

"Run!" It was the boy's cry that woke up the frozen girl, it turned out that he didn't disbelieve in fairy tales, but he believed in another way. ”

"The girl ran desperately, exerting all her strength, tears kept falling, and she felt that her legs had lost sensation"
