Chapter 14: Whispering

The last piece of paper burned in a hurry, because the conversation between the mage and the steward was much more concise, and after a few words, he directly took the candle and burned the paper.

After the burning, the Master recited, "Hell is over, there will be no suffering, the soul will be at peace, and it will be transcended as soon as possible." ”

After reading, the mage took the staff and gestured for a while, then stepped aside, and the steward let everyone return to the mourning hall and stand in front of the altar.

"Filial sons, filial daughters, filial sons-in-law kneel, filial grandsons, grandnephews and grandnephews kneel together."

The steward stood beside the altar and said aloud to us, I can't help but feel nervous, won't I kneel here again for a long time?

Fortunately, the steward just made us kowtow three times to the altar and let us get up, and after we got up, the steward announced that the ritual was temporarily over and we could move freely.

There is a lot of content to be held in this kind of funeral ceremony, and it takes a long time, and after the funeral ceremony is carried out out out of humanistic care, there will be a pause and rest in the middle, so that everyone has an excessive time and those people can prepare the props for the next ritual.

"I have ointment in my room, I'll take you to apply some medicine."

As soon as the ceremony was over, Ren Ruoyi in front of me pulled me upstairs, and it turned out that she had never forgotten the injury on my knee.

After turning around for so long, everyone was a little tired, so they found a chair and sat down and chatted with the people next to them, and Cousin Xuanning went to the front to take care of her father, so no one noticed that we went upstairs.

There was no light in the corridor, but you could see the corridor clearly with the help of the light downstairs, Ren Ruoyi kept pulling me to the end of the corridor before letting go of me, pushed the door and went to the room first, turned on the light and found the ointment.

I was about to go in, when I suddenly heard someone whispering, I stopped, leaned down and looked under the railing next to me, and saw the mage and the steward just now, and the light was too dim to see the appearance.

Because the mage's clothes are so unique, even if they stand on the edge of the house, the slightest light can tell that he is standing there, and the steward is because his voice is familiar to me after listening to it for so long.

The steward said: "Are you sure you have pasted the paper well, didn't I tell you that it must be firmly pasted, fortunately, this family does not have so many taboos, what if it is more serious?" ”

Another person: "I really pasted it, or glued it with glue, it is impossible to run away when the wind blows, are you afraid that I have been doing it for so many years?" ”

“。。。”

The three of them were silent for a while, and the mage on the side sighed: "Alas, why did you say that the wind suddenly rose, and it was blown into the mourning hall even if it didn't die, this is not a good sign!" ”

Another person said, "Hell, anyway, no matter how much, you look at the weather and it's not strange that it's raining soon, and it's not strange that the wind is blowing." ”

"You know the, I'll tell you...

Seeing that the mage's mood fluctuated, his voice was a little louder, and the steward hurriedly stopped: "Shh, don't make a noise if you do it, take your own money, Xiao Yang is right, it's going to rain and blow the wind, don't say it's not good to be heard later." ”

As soon as the steward finished speaking, the other two were silent, and the three of them left the corner and went back to the hall.

At this time, I was poked in the back, and I turned around to see Ren Ruoyi's curious eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Ren Ruoyi learned from me to look outside, but I didn't see anything.

"I'll just take a casual look."

The three mages below had already left, so naturally she couldn't see anything, and I didn't tell her what I just saw.

"Come in and apply the medicine." Ren Ruoyi pursed her lips and pulled me into the room.

The second time I entered Ren Ruoyi's room, I still felt a little unaccustomed, especially this time the owner of the room was also here.

Ren Ruoyi sat me on the bed, to be honest my knees did have a dull pain, when I pulled up my pants I saw that both of my knees were bruised and scratched.

"Ah, it's all bleeding."

Ren Ruoyi gently touched my wound with her hand, the wound was oozing blood, she quickly covered me with a tissue, opened the ointment and prepared to apply it to me.

I hurriedly stopped: "I'll do it myself." ”

I'm not used to bothering others with this kind of thing, and Ren Ruoyi is still my cousin younger than me.

"Come on, I just washed my hands, don't touch the wound if you have bacteria on your hands, I'm afraid it will be infected."

Ren Ruoyi insisted on helping me apply the medicine, what she said made sense, just now I was holding incense and kneeling, I didn't know what was dirty on my hands, and when I was hesitating, she had already squeezed out the ointment and gently helped me apply it.

Seeing that had come to this, I sat there and let her smear me, and the room fell silent.

Ren Ruoyi carefully smeared my wounds, I sat on the sofa and looked at her like this, and when I saw that the atmosphere began to quiet down, I began to talk without words.

"Tonight, I'll stay in your room, you won't mind, right?" I asked tentatively.

Ren Ruoyi smiled: "No, my sister told me, in fact, I am happier when you live there." ”

"Why?" I didn't expect her to say such a thing, I asked with some curiosity.

Ren Ruoyi said: "Because it's not those two people who sleep in my room, I'm very happy!" ”

I was stunned and said, "Do those two people mean your two brothers?" ”

Ren Ruoyi pursed her lips and snorted lightly: "I don't think they are my brother, they are not sad when grandpa dies, they are not like relatives at all." ”

I was silent after hearing her words, because I didn't seem to feel too much sadness, and if Xiao Nizi knew, would she start to hate me too?

Seeing that I didn't speak, Ren Ruoyi raised her head and glanced at me, and hurriedly said: "Brother Ren Sheng, you are different, you only saw your grandfather once when you were very young, and it is normal to have no impression of your grandfather." ”

Seeing that Xiao Nizi would actually say something to comfort me, and feeling her kindness, I also smiled at her.

"But they are different, they have lived with their grandfather since they were children, how much grandpa loves them, I didn't expect that when grandpa died, they didn't say tears, they didn't even look sad, are they worthy of grandpa's love?"

Ren Ruoyi said as she spoke, her eyes began to turn red, and she looked sad.

My heart ached, I touched her head and comforted: "Okay, I said that I am not allowed to cry, since they are not good, then we should not talk about them." ”

Ren Ruoyi rubbed her eyes and nodded.

Girls are really sensitive and sentimental animals, but it is precisely because of this that it is so distressing.

While chatting, Ren Ruoyi had already applied the medicine, "Okay." After a few breaths of help me, Ren Ruoyi slowly put down my pants, stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my hands.

A cool sensation came from my knees, and my aching knees were indescribably comfortable.

Ren Ruoyi came out of the bathroom, but we didn't go downstairs, and someone would ring the gong to remind us before the next ritual began, so there was no need to rush down, Ren Ruoyi said that she wanted to show me a photo of their family and her grandfather before, and now they are looking for it.
