After passing a few times on the bridge that had been picked up with chairs, the people on the side put down the chairs and moved them aside, and then the mage took us around a few times, and then stopped in front of the tub, and after a chanting, the mage raised his hand and overturned the tub and poured out the water in the tub, and then came to the lookout platform.

Wangxiangtai originally refers to the high platform that people who have not returned for a long time or have been displaced in ancient times to look at their hometown, which may have been built by people or formed naturally, but since the influence of Taoist culture, it has been passed down over time and has been virtualized as a high platform for ghosts in hell to look at their hometown in the yang world.

The mage just chanted a passage in front of the Wangxiang platform, and after singing, the high platform was put into the mourning hall, and this prop will be burned along with the rest of the things along with the burial in three days, and now it cannot be moved, and after all this, it is announced that today's ritual is over.

The music stopped, and the people who presided over the funeral began to pack their things, their task was completed, and the rest of the time was reserved for the relatives of the deceased to accompany the deceased, that is, the vigil.

At the end of the ceremony, I saw that the mage and the steward hurriedly packed up their things and took their people to say goodbye to Uncle Guo, not dragging their feet at all, not that they would not come later, the funeral here in Shonan will last for three days, and the next day will have the next day, they will come early tomorrow morning, if you want to ask why they don't stay directly, for those who have a funeral at home, they will not stay overnight, this is also a rule, and there will be no guests willing to stay, After all, it is unlucky to live in a home that does white things.

When they were ready to get on the bus, Uncle Guo gave each of them a pack of cigarettes, and after they took it, they heard the steward's instructions on some matters, asking Uncle Guo to pay attention to not letting animals get close to the carcass during their vigil, and not to let the ever-bright lights under the table go out, and the incense on the table was burned and continued in time, and the incense candles were extinguished and lit in time.

After these people are gone, the courtyard is really quiet, and there are only our second grandfather's relatives left in the courtyard.

According to the custom of the vigil, the first night is observed by the children of the deceased, and the second night is observed by the grandchildren, so as a grandchild, I can now go upstairs to rest.

Ren Ruoyi's father, who is also Uncle Bing, rushed to let us juniors go upstairs, and I could tell from his expression that he was in a very bad mood, and Uncle Guo and his aunt also let us go upstairs to rest early, saying that they would get up early tomorrow morning to listen to the master read the scriptures to the second grandfather.

The sons of the two aunts, Huang Zixuan and Zhang Xiaoguang, saw them go upstairs after the ceremony, and Cousin Xuan Ning also took me and Ren Ruoyi upstairs after they finished speaking.

In fact, I know in my heart that these people should have something to discuss, so I don't want juniors to be present, as for what to discuss, maybe I also guessed something, probably about money.

It's better to know these things than not to know, and even if I guessed, I wasn't interested in hearing how they divided the second grandfather's inheritance, and I was more curious about why the second grandfather was so rich.

After a busy day, everyone sweated a lot, after going upstairs, Xuanning's cousin pulled Ren Ruoyi to say hello to me and went back to her room to take a bath.

In the bathroom, I closed my eyes and comfortably let the shower wash my face, and suddenly heard the laughter of girls.

"Hehe, eldest sister, your figure is so good."

"Little girl, don't touch it! I knew I wouldn't agree to take a bath with you, so I'll do it as soon as I come. ”

"Hee-hee, it's been a long time since they've washed with you."

…

I opened my eyes and was stunned for a moment, the sound was coming from the other side of the wall.

Next door is Xuanning's cousin's bedroom, and the two people who spoke were naturally Xuanning's cousin and Ren Ruoyi, but I didn't expect that the bathrooms in the two rooms were next to each other, and they were not very soundproof, and I could hear them clearly.

It is estimated that the designer knows that these two rooms are for girls, so they didn't think about it so carefully when they were designed, in fact, there is no problem, next door is Xuanning's cousin's bedroom, this is Ren Ruoyi's bedroom, and the two sisters don't care about these things, but they didn't take into account that there would be boys living in the girl's room.

Hearing their laughter, I was silent and sped up the shower, I wasn't the kind of pervert who liked to eavesdrop, and they would be embarrassed if they found out I was taking a shower next door.

However, while I was washing, the next door was also talking all the time, and I didn't listen carefully to the topic of some women's homes, so I hurriedly smeared on the shower gel and rinsed my body, dried it and prepared to get dressed, but at this time what they said made me stop what I was doing.

Because they talked about a topic that interested me ...

"Eldest sister, aunt, did they really come back to share grandpa's inheritance?"

Cousin Xuan Ning was silent for a moment, and said with helpless persuasion in her tone: "Ruoyi, don't think about these things, this is their adult's business." ”

"But I just want to know, is money really so important, so important that even the death of the dearest person can be ignored and grieved? Auntie wasn't like this before, huh? Ren Ruoyi said puzzled.

"You don't understand these things when you're young, but when you grow up, you'll know it slowly, sometimes people's hearts change in an instant, and there is family affection in your heart, and you don't have anything to say in your heart, and you can't pretend to be it."

"I still don't understand, but I just don't think they care about grandpa, I don't like them!"

"My sister doesn't like them either, but after all, blood is thicker than water, in fact, I can't blame them, grandpa left a lot of wealth, and my aunt is just fighting for her own family."

"Then can't you wait until after grandpa is buried, you have to talk about it as soon as you come, and my father is angry with them."

“。。。”

"Eldest sister, I miss my mother."

"I called them today, and the compensation over there has been decided, and they will be back tomorrow."

Saying that, Cousin Xuanning sighed again: "Alas, your aunt and they even have to share the compensation, I guess they will quarrel tonight." ”

…

Listening to Xuanning's cousin and them chatting about the topic of dividing property, my guess was completely confirmed, and sure enough, there is a saying that there is no wind and no waves, and what those villagers talk about is not made up.

After listening for a while, I got dressed and walked out of the bathroom, and I could only listen to such things as the scriptures that were difficult to read, and I couldn't say anything.

I didn't know what to do after taking a shower, I picked up my phone and wanted to see if my father's phone could get through, at this point in time he should have finished talking about a big business, dialed his number, and finally came from the phone "beep" sound that was being contacted.
