Volume 5, The Three Realms of Stars and Moon_Chapter 165, The Story of the Dead

06 year, Qingming Festival. There are many people in the garden of the underworld, and it is time to burn paper and incense every year to express mourning. It's just that the traditional cultural festivals have changed a lot over the years, and the people in the underworld cry less and laugh more, and coming to worship the ancestors has become a rare opportunity for family gatherings in a year.

In the corner of the Garden of Hades, a few people stood in front of a deserted tombstone. In front of the tombstone, two bundles of flowers were lit with incense, and some food was brought for worship.

The fat man lit a cigarette, watched Tang Yuyan and Yuan Feng cleaning up the tombstone, and took out the yellow paper to light it.

"Uncle and aunt seem to have been here, hey......" Tang Yuyan sighed and said as she took out the prepared stygian coin.

Yuan Feng wiped his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's been several years since I left, and I'm still feeling sad in my heart......"

Not far away, Luo Qiong hurriedly walked this way, followed by a young man, the fat man waved his hand and shouted, "Here!" ”

When he got closer, the young man beside Luo Qiong hurriedly said, "Uncle Cui is good." ”

"Well, Huizhi is about to graduate."

"I'm already preparing for an internship, and I'm looking for an internship in the past few days."

"Oh, put incense on the pillar in a while, bow well, and let my brother bless you with a good job. Do you hear that? The fat man nodded as he smoked a cigarette.

"It's all set. Big guy, bow down, Yu Yan and I burned all the paper, so that Brother Shan has money to spend below......" Yuan Feng said the more his eyes turned redder. For these people, Qingming Festival is not a day of gathering, but a time of parting.

On the way back, the fat man drove the car, and Luo Qiong sat in the co-pilot. Neither of them spoke, and when they arrived at the place where they lived, Yuan Feng and Tang Yuyan took Huizhi upstairs to prepare for cooking, and the two of them really chatted when they were smoking downstairs. The fat man handed Luo Qiong a cigarette, but Luo Qiong waved his hand and said, "Don't smoke." ”

The fat man nodded to the stick on his mouth, and then asked, "Haven't you had a problem lately?" ”

"No, I've been quitting for three years. To be honest, it was difficult at first, always thinking in my head. But then he gradually got used to it, but he still couldn't touch it, hehe...... "Luo Qiong looks a lot more mature, and time has erased the immaturity and youth on his face, leaving a mature and stable man.

"That's good, Shanzi would be relieved if he knew underground, and you were the one he couldn't worry about the most."

The two of them were silent for a while, and then Luo Qiong approached the fat man and whispered, "Brother Cui, are we revenge?" ”

This sentence came into the fat man's ears, and his whole body trembled slightly as if he was electrocuted, then took a puff of cigarette, waved his hand and said, "This matter is said at night, and the little guy Huizhi can't be involved." But there is one sentence I will say first, hatred! We must report! ”

After dinner in the evening and chatting about family affairs, Huizhi took the bus and left first. As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the house changed. None of the four spoke first, but each knew that the other was thinking the same thing.

"I'll talk about it first." Tang Yuyan took the lead and said, "In the past few years, everyone has not been idle, the practice that should be practiced, the practice that should be nourished by the body, and now we are almost ready." To be honest, with the qualifications of the four of us, it is basically impossible to take a step forward and become more powerful, and we are at the end of it. If we delay any longer, in another seven or eight years, we will all be in our forties, and what strength will we have to take revenge? When the time comes, we will be panting like a cow after running a hundred meters, time waits for no one, and we can't afford to wait. ”

"However, everyone's plan was to wait for Brother Shan to come back from abroad, and then everyone would get together and then find a way to take revenge on the Haotian family. But now...... Brother Shan is gone, and with our own strength, this revenge may not be avenged. Yuan Feng waved his hand and said, telling the truth.

"Wouldn't it be pointless if we were to die in vain?" Yuan Feng interjected again, it was not that she was greedy for life and afraid of death, but that she was mature, and she was no longer the young men and women of the year, most of them had their brains before doing things, and the impulsive years had passed, and they had to think about it more.

"My sister-in-law is right. We also have to take care of Brother Shan's parents, if we both die, who will provide for them in their old age? However, it is impossible not to take revenge, we have waited for so many years, even if we die, we will pull the Haotian family, Shenmen or 507 Institute to die together. Luo Qiong continued Yuan Feng's words and said.

"And what do you mean?" Tang Yuyan asked.

"I mean that the four of us can't all work hard, we have to leave one person to take care of the second elder and two families, and naturally, everyone's money will be left to him. To put it bluntly, if we want to take revenge, it is estimated that we are desperate, and it is almost impossible to survive. So, the person left behind has to deal with the aftermath of a few of us. ”

Sometimes it's not more comfortable to live than to die, like at this moment, who will be the one who will survive and take care of everyone's afterlife? Burdened with pain and living alone in this world. In the long days ahead, he seems to be alive, but he is accompanied by tombstones. Lonely and lonely, tormented by memories all day long.

"I called the military the other day." The fat man smoked a cigarette, and finally said when he heard this, "I told him that we can't wait any longer, Shanzi can't come back, and we have to take revenge." Jun Yan didn't want to partner with us, and he told us to dismiss the idea, and he didn't want to help us at all. ”

"What do you mean? Is this the refusal to take us? Didn't he also help Shanzi back then? To put it bluntly, he is also responsible for Shanzi's death, so it's better now, give me this show? As soon as she heard the fat man's words, Tang Yuyan stopped doing it, and her voice gradually increased a little with the shouting.

"He doesn't want us to die in vain. I tell you this to remind you that we want revenge, but this time we probably have no backup. As for who will help us take care of the elderly and take care of our funeral. I've got a ...... to choose from."

"Who?" Luo Qiong asked suspiciously.

"I'll go find her tomorrow."

Shanghai has changed a lot in recent years, and many old houses in the city center have been demolished, but some have been listed as listed buildings. The Shen Family Mansion is a protected building, and many people have been speculating about what kind of dignitaries can live in the Shen Family Mansion over the years.

The fat man's car stopped on the side of the road, and after getting out of the car, he looked up. I haven't been to the Shen Family Mansion for many years, but I didn't expect that this was just to ask for help.

Ring the doorbell, and soon a housekeeper-like person came out and opened the door, and after asking the fat man's name, he didn't put the fat man in, but asked the inside through the phone of the guard room and got the consent of the inside, and then took the fat man in.

The fat man sitting in the living room looked around and looked a little cramped.

"Brother Cui Zhen, it's been a long time." Soon, a familiar voice came, and Cui Zhen looked up to see Shen Mengtian, who was already forty, standing in front of him with a smile. has long lost the youth and beauty of a girl, and Shen Mengtian, who has not been seen for many years, is dressed as a noblewoman, and her face with fine lines cannot be covered by cosmetics.

But her smile is still familiar, and in that smile, the fat man seems to remember the innocent girl who taught in the suburbs and villages, hiding her identity as a rich lady.

"Long time no see, Shen Mengtian." The fat man smiled.

After the two of them sat down, they exchanged a few words, Shen Mengtian had long since stopped setting foot in this circle, and she had not asked much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes from Mr. Xu over the years. Originally, she was just an ordinary person, but she crossed paths with us because of some strange experiences, and she was still an outsider in essence.

"What wind brought you to me today?" Shen Mengtian asked with a smile.

"Brother, I'm not polite to you, I'm here to beg you to do something today." The fat man hesitated for a moment and said.

"Oh? Tell me straight, I'll help if I can. Shen Mengtian asked steadily.

"I won't say the specific reason, and you don't need to know if you are someone outside the circle. I can only tell you that after a while, my wife and I, and a group of good friends, may do something big, and maybe they won't come back. We would like to ask you to help us take care of Shanzi's old father and his wife when the time comes. If it's convenient, we'll take care of our future affairs by the way. Hehe......"

The fat man could still laugh at such a heavy topic, and when he said it, Shen Mengtian's face changed slightly.

"What's wrong? Such an important thing? Why didn't Xiaoshan come with you? Shen Mengtian asked strangely.

The fat man was stunned, and immediately understood that Shen Mengtian didn't know the inside story, scratched his head and sighed, and then said truthfully: "Shanzi...... Died three years ago. ”
