"The autumn colors are heavy in the falling leaves, the cry of the swallows flying south, flying through a blue sky, flying over a mountain red, who can understand the pulse with affection, the wind blowing is warm, blowing down a drop of lovesick tears-" The next morning, Lin Yu was still asleep when he was awakened by a phone ringing.

"It's immoral to disturb people's dreams—" In a daze, he took out his mobile phone at the bedside, swiped twice on the screen with sleepy eyes, and picked up the phone and said a mantra without looking.

"Uncle Yu is dead! Hurry to Ximen Station! Before the mantra could be finished, he was interrupted by the person on the other end of the phone.

"What do you say?" As soon as Lin Yu heard these four words, he got up one by one, and asked again in disbelief, and when he looked at the phone screen again, he found that it was Zhou Diwen's number.

"Uncle Yu is dead!" After speaking, he hung up on the other end of the phone, not giving Lin Yu time to think about it.

"How did Uncle Yu die?" When Lin Yu and Ruolan came to the station, Zhou Diwen was already waiting there, and he walked quickly to Zhou Diwen's side and asked.

"It was said that he was stoned to death while repairing the house, I don't know what happened, so let's go back first!" Zhou Diwen didn't explain much, and walked quickly to the waiting room.

After a five-hour drive, Lin Yu and the three of them finally returned to Baima Village, which is still the speed at which the highway has been opened in recent years, if you put it before, it will definitely take more than ten hours to reach the small county station, and then take a few hours on the shuttle bus, and finally walk for another two hours to return home.

Lin Yu and Zhou Diwen went home after parting ways, his parents were not at home, even his grandfather was not at home, he estimated that his parents were likely to go to Uncle Yu's house to help, in Baima Village, no matter which family has a red and white celebration, the big guy will help, this has become a custom here.

Lin Yu's village can also be called a brigade, composed of five squads, each team is about dozens of households, Uncle Yu and his family belong to the second squad, which is not very far from Lin Yu's first team, and it can be reached by walking for about ten minutes.

"Crackle, crackle!"

When Lin Yu and Ruolan arrived at the stone stairs below Uncle Yu's house, the deafening sound of firecrackers did not stop, which is also the custom of Baima Village, as long as there are guests coming to the funeral, the host will let the person who is responsible for setting off firecrackers set off firecrackers, showing respect for the people who come, and at the same time there is a saying to dispel bad luck.

There are about twenty or thirty steps of the stairs, Lin Yu has just walked to the courtyard dam above the stairs, a big black dog man who is chained to stand up, barking at Lin Yu and Ruolan, Lin Yu doesn't care at all, almost every household in Baima Village will have dogs, and these dogs are fierce and abnormal, and even some dogs can compete with leopards.

Ruolan seemed to hate the black dog barking at her, and glanced at the black dog coldly, the black dog suddenly seemed to have encountered something terrifying, the hair on his body stood up, his tail was tightly clamped on his buttocks, and he turned around and ran towards the kennel, whining from time to time.

"Xiaoyu is back! Hungry! The table will be open in a moment! Hey? You kid actually brought such a beautiful girlfriend back, don't you want to introduce it! Just as Lin Yu was passing by a small house with a red wooden door, a slightly fat middle-aged man came over to greet him.

This middle-aged man's name is Lin Zheng, he is in charge of etiquette, he writes with a pen in one hand, and he is also the classroom of Baima Village Primary School.

"My name is Ruolan, hello uncle!" Just when Lin Yu didn't know how to introduce Ruolan, Ruolan obediently took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Xiaolan, don't be polite, just find a stool to sit on-" Lin Zheng and Ruolan exchanged a few polite words and turned around and walked to the room, this time was the time when the banquet was about to start, many relatives and friends from afar would pay tribute, Lin Zheng naturally didn't have time to nag more.

Lin Yu took advantage of the time when the two were talking to take a look at the situation of the compound, the entire courtyard dam is about 200 square meters, all of which are paved with one square meter of bluestone slabs, and there are nine square tables in the courtyard. On the top of the dam are large colored striped cloths, and on the left and right sides are several houses, each with a round wooden pillar in front of it, on which are written couplets on white paper. At the top of the dam is an old hall about 200 years old, which is specially used to store coffins and dead people. A person like Uncle Yu who died (also known as murderous death in Baima Village) could not enter the hall.

Outside the old hall is two round wooden pillars about two people hugging, the bottom of the pillar is about eighty centimeters of hexagonal bluestone, the bluestone is carved with a lion, about three steps outside is a three-step bluestone ladder, each step is about fifty centimeters, the outside of the hall has been set up as a mourning hall by cypress branches, and there is a door panel on the platform of about a few square meters on the left, and a corpse covered by a white cloth is parked on the door panel, and you don't have to think about it to know that it is Uncle Yu's corpse.

Directly in front of the corpse was a color photograph of a framed black couplet, in front of which was a plaque made of a banana tree, and in front of it was an iron porcelain basin with sealed straw paper burned inside.

Near the place where the corpse was placed was a man full of locked gongs and drums, and there was also a Mr. Yin and Yang who was constantly busy, this Mr. Yin and Yang was a little unfamiliar, not Master Chen, who would normally be invited, Lin Yu felt strange for a while.

"What are you looking at, baby? What's so good about the dead, hurry up and find a place to prepare for dinner, it's likely that you won't be able to get to the table tonight! Just as Lin Yu was observing the situation in the courtyard, a familiar voice came, and he turned his head to see that it was his mother, who was walking towards him quickly with an apron.

"Oops! Mom, slow down, I haven't seen you look beautiful again for a long time! Lin Yu walked up quickly with a haha and came up with a bear hug.

"You bastard boy loves to talk nonsense, and you don't let go, Mom's old arms and legs are all falling apart for you!" Li Ying smiled on his face, and patted Lin Yu lightly.

"Why don't you introduce this girl? You bear child! It turned out that Li Ying had already seen Ruolan behind Lin Yu, but she was afraid that she would make a joke by recognizing the wrong person, after all, this girl was as beautiful as a fairy daughter no matter how she looked at it, and this bear child in her own family was not worthy of others.

"Hello aunt! My name is Ruolan and I'm Lin Yu's girlfriend! Ruolan saw Li Ying looking at herself, and without waiting for Lin Yu's introduction, her cheeks flushed and she generously took the initiative to introduce herself, but somehow, she didn't reject the title of Lin Yu's girlfriend at all.

"How can you stinky boy snub your girlfriend so much? Not sensible! Li Ying scolded in a low voice and took Ruolan's hand and walked towards the kitchen, directly ignoring Lin Yu, his former precious son.

Lin Yu was dumbfounded in an instant, when did Ruolan become his girlfriend? How did he not know? Although he secretly smiled in his heart, and Li Ying's doting eyes when he looked at Ruolan, he felt that he would live in dire straits in the future, and it was likely that he would not even be as good as his father in the future.

At this moment, Mr. Yin and Yang made a move, only to see him walk to the corpse and light a stick of incense next to the dead card, take out a wine glass and pour a few glasses of white wine, and put the rice, meat, fruit and other things on the table. (This is the way to pay tribute to the deceased in Hakuba Village, 1. incense; 2. Dian chew (wine); 3. 覔 (zhuan); (meat); 4. Offering soup (geng); (rice); 5. Offering silk (money). ）

As soon as Mr. Yin Yang was ready, a group of men and women dressed in linen and filial piety came to the mourning hall, looking at the corpse with white cloth with red and swollen eyes. Lin Yu knew that this was going to be a sacrifice before the feast.

Sure enough, an old gentleman began to sing, "Therefore, Xian Kao Yu Gong Lin Lao, Shi Wei, 58 years old in 2016 AD, lay a good day, to the filial piety man Yu Cong Li, knock: with incense candles and torches, three animals and wine, Shi Yu Qing drink, all the rituals of non-ceremonies, to the new death, so Xian Kao Yu Gong Lin Lao Lin traveled west, died at the age of 58 years in front of the spiritual seat, grief and wept in the text: Woohoo!

The crying father went west, and his liver and intestines were wet with tears. Suddenly, yesterday's strong wind arose, blowing away the separation of father and son. The son knelt in front of the spirit and narrated the words, and his father's kindness was with Tianqi. It is not easy to give birth to me and raise me, and it takes a lot of effort to raise children.

The father has to think about the plan of life, and he is obsessed with hardships and hard work. Hard work is day and night, unswerving for children and daughters. Hurry up and buy food, snacks, pastries, soft-shelled turtles, apples and pears are difficult to enumerate, and everything must be prepared. Er Leng hurriedly made new clothes, the armor shirt and single shirt did not move, the sweater and velvet sweater were happy, and the cotton clothes and cotton pants did not need to be mentioned.

If the father is in a hurry, he will not be separated from his arms, he is not afraid of thunder, lightning and wind and rain, and he will seek medical treatment in the middle of the night, and the father of the child will stay up all night, running around and working tirelessly until he recovers.

Teach children to go out less when they have nothing to do, for fear that they will be bullied when they go out. Pay attention to the rocks and watersides, for fear that children will hurt their bodies and be difficult to treat. At the age of seven, when he was sent to the children's school, all the paper, pen, ink and inkstone were bought. I prepare for the books and tuition fees first, and then buy shoes and socks and new clothes. Teach children to respect teachers to be reasonable, unite classmates and not talk nonsense, and be kind to others, so that the future will be happier. I also hope that the children will have good grades, and they will not be named in high school step by step.

Teach children to know their own interests, prostitution, gambling and theft to decide to leave, be fair and reasonable, be diligent and thrifty to build a foundation, and only hope that this life will be smooth and prosperous.

When the eldest son reaches the age of sixteen or seventeen, he goes to the matchmaker to propose the marriage, and chooses to spend money and rice, just hoping to marry a good daughter-in-law. Character knowledge covers the township, one filial mother comes to two filial fathers. When the age comes, the water ceremony is held, and the money is not spared to buy things, both men and women are prepared by the father, and the cave room is very neatly set up. The three-day wedding banquet was held, and the father was tired and sweaty, and he was only for his son and daughter, smiling and smiling.

The father is kind-hearted and incompetent, and his life should be extended to more than 100. Who knew that my father was not blessed, and he suffered a catastrophe without treatment, and he returned to heaven last night, and the family was very miserable, and the cry shook the sky and tears were like rain, and the hateful yin and yang had been isolated. Tonight, the funeral sacrifice will be made before the spirit to bless the children and grandchildren. Don't dislike the green vegetables and water wine, I hope my father will taste it and return to the west—— "

A prostration –

After this sacrificial text, Lin Yu found that his eyes were red, who raised a child. This memorial text is a true portrayal of the life of an authentic farmer.
