Chapter 859: Wearing linen and filial piety for the master
The next morning, Uncle He made a spiritual shed in front of a hall, and then placed the master's ashes in the spiritual shed, I wore a filial piety dress and knelt on the ground to burn incense and paper for the master.
When the owners of the shops in Hutong No. 88 knew that Master and his old man were gone, they went to the hall to pay their respects to Master. Little Aunt, Uncle He, Duoduo, and You Zhipei were busy receiving those who came to worship Master.
"Little brother, the festival is good," the owner of the paper shop walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder to comfort me.
"Yes," I nodded and replied to the owner of the paper shop.
In less than a day, Master's death caused a sensation in the Taoist community in DD City, and several Taoist leaders and their disciples also came to worship Master.
When Huang Tao and Zeng Lu learned of Master's death, they took a leave of absence and rushed from school to pay respects to my Master.
"Second child, you have to mourn and change" Huang Tao walked up to me and comforted me, but I nodded at Huang Tao, unable to say a word.
"Fourth, the second brother's mood doesn't seem to be very good," Zeng Lu asked as he pulled You Zhipei aside.
"Alas, since my Uncle Jiang died, the second brother has not eaten or slept for three days, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight" You Zhipei sighed and pointed to me who was kneeling on the ground, and replied to Huang Tao and Zeng Lu.
"Fourth, your kid's mouth can usually talk back, you can't comfort the second brother well, let him not be sad" Zeng Lu said angrily to You Zhipei.
"In the past three days, I have been by his side almost every day to comfort him, but you all know what kind of temper my second brother has, no matter how I comfort him, he is not in the oil and salt, and he can do whatever he wants" You Zhipei replied to Zeng Lu with a helpless face.
"Time is the best healing medicine, it was like this when I lost Yu Jiaqi, I believe that the second child will recover" Huang Tao looked at me and replied to You Zhipei and Zeng Lu.
"I hope so," Zeng Lu said with a sigh.
Huang Tao and Zeng Lu did not leave after the two of them came to worship my master, and the two of them also followed the little aunt and they were busy together, but I didn't say all this, but I saw it all in my eyes and remembered it in my heart.
In the evening, all the worshippers were gone, and the hall suddenly became deserted.
"Second, the third and I will go back first, and when Jiang Daochang is funeral tomorrow morning, the two of us will come over," Huang Tao squatted beside me and patted me on the shoulder.
"Boss, thank you really for today, it's been a busy day here" I turned my head and looked at Huang Tao with a grateful face.
"It's polite to say this, don't forget that we are all brothers, your business is my business, I hope you can come out of your grief as soon as possible and return to the old you" Huang Tao stood up and said to me, I nodded to Huang Tao and squeezed out a smile.
"Second brother, take good care of yourself, don't burn your body, your body is your own capital" Zeng Lu interjected to me with a concerned face.
"I'll be the third child," I nodded at Zeng Lu and replied.
"Then the two of us are leaving" Huang Tao waved his hand to me, and walked towards the outside of Hutong No. 88 with Zeng Lu.
"Fourth, you go and send off the eldest and third," I instructed You Zhipei, who was standing aside.
"Okay second brother" You Zhipei answered me, and went to send Huang Tao and Zeng Lu.
At this time, the four of them, Aunt Donnie Yen, Uncle He, and Duoduo were by my side to burn paper for Master, and they didn't close their eyes very much in the past few days.
Due to the fact that there were more Taoist people who came today, Uncle He was afraid that Bai Ling's presence would cause some misunderstandings, so he had to hide Bai Ling on the second floor of Hongshan Hall, and it was not until all the people who worshiped the master were gone that Uncle He released Bai Ling.
"Little Auntie, Uncle He, you two haven't slept much in the past two days, you two go to rest first, I'll just stay by Master's side" I raised my head and said to the little aunt and Uncle He beside me.
"The two of us are indeed a little unable to hold on, I and your Uncle He will go to Hongshan Hall to rest, if you have anything to do, go over and call the two of us" After the little aunt replied to me, she dragged her tired body and walked towards the Hongshan Hall opposite.
"Liu Shou, you haven't eaten or slept for several days, although you are young now, you also have to pay attention to your body," Uncle He patted me on the shoulder and said.
"I know Uncle He, go back and rest," I replied to Uncle He with a smile.
"Alas, you kid is as stubborn as your master," Uncle He sighed at me, and after saying this, he walked towards the Hongshan Hall opposite.
"Don't accompany me three of you, go and rest," I said to Duoduo, Donnie Yen and Bai Ling.
"We still want to be with you again," Duoduo replied to me with a pout.
"The three of you can't open your sleepy eyes, don't stay with me anymore, tomorrow my master will be buried for another day, you go and rest, I want to be alone with my master" I looked at the master's urn and instructed the three of them.
"Alright then!" After the three of them answered me, they walked towards the hall.
After You Zhipei sent Huang Tao and Zeng Lu away, I was also sent to Hongshan Hall to rest, and I looked at Master's ashes and cried again.
The year my grandmother died, my dad sold our house, and I felt like a homeless kid. Ever since I entered Master's door, I have regarded this hall as my home and my family. Over the past year, Master has also taken great care of me, he knows that my conditions are not good, and he always gives me money to spend, if I hadn't met Master, I really don't know what my life would have been like. I Liu Shou owes the most two people in my life, one is my grandmother, and the other is my master, and I will never be able to repay the kindness of both of them to me.
At about three o'clock in the morning, my little aunt walked to my side with a coat from Uncle He and draped it over my body.
"Thank you, little aunt," I turned my head and thanked my little aunt.
"Liu Shou, although your master is no longer there, don't forget that you still have us. The way you are now is not what your master wants to see, nor is it what we want to see. Your master told me before his death that what he was most afraid of was that after he died, you would become negative and sad, and I hope you could change back to your old you," said the little aunt, pointing to my master's photo.
