374.Chapter 374: The Coffin of the Nine Sons (94)
I ate seven or eight in a row, and I was about to ask Mrs. Lu for more, when I saw her eyes glistening with tears, looking at us dotingly, and said, "Children, can you call grandma?" ”
I was stunned, how could she ask for this? The fat man didn't think about it, and immediately called out, 'grandma', and then stammered and called 'grandma'.
They're all called, what can I do? I had to shout 'grandma' after them.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face was full of smiles, she touched my head and said, "Xiao Jiu, the old man told me that a few years later, you and Qiusheng had a big disaster, which was a catastrophe of life and death, and I implore you not to let my Lu family break the heirs again." ”
Listening to this, I wondered very much, the old hero is very fond of feng shui, how can he still count his life? Besides, after leaving Quyang this time, I didn't plan to return to Quyang, and I wouldn't have anything to do with Lu Qiusheng, so how could I experience life and death with him?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Mrs. Lu touched my hair again, and said dotingly: "Xiao Jiu, there are some things that are destined by God, and no one can escape them." ”
After speaking, she stood up, picked up the pig's trotters and put them to her nose, sniffed them, and said a vague word, I didn't understand very well, I could only hear the last three words, I came.
I was stunned, I didn't understand what this was, and I was about to ask her, when I saw the hardest thing in my life, she... She swallowed the three-finger-sized pig's trotter alive and stuck it in her throat.
"Grandma, don't!" I jerked to my feet and ran towards her, slamming it down her throat to squeeze the pig's trotters out.
However, I still overestimated the condition of the old man's body, the pig's trotters were stuck in the throat for less than ten seconds, Mrs. Lu's face turned purple, she opened her mouth with difficulty, I couldn't hear her words clearly, but, from her lips, I understood what she wanted to say, she was saying, 'Bury me with Yaodong'.
I understood what she meant, I grabbed her hand, I could understand why she chose to commit suicide, the reason why she behaved so coldly when she was in the 'Temple of the Dead', I'm afraid, at that time, she already had the idea of suicide, but, because the old hero's funeral was not finished, she gave up that thought.
Now, the old hero has been laid to peace, she has nothing to love, so she plans to end her life in this way, one is guilt for Lu Yaodong, and the other is to atone for the old hero.
Thinking of this, my heart was very bitter, the corners of my eyes were a little moist, and I yelled at Mrs. Lu's body, "Why are you so suffering!" ”
After yelling, my body was very weak, and the feeling of sleepiness that I hadn't slept for a few days hit, so that I no longer had the energy to support my body, and I fell next to Mrs. Lu with a 'bang', and kept muttering in my mouth, "Contact Lu Laosi." ”
I don't know how long I slept, when I woke up, there was a sound of mourning music in Lujia Village, I rubbed my temples, got up from the bed, just stepped out of the door, I saw a big 'lay' word hanging in the middle of the ancestral hall, the eight sons of the Lu family were busy in front of the ancestral hall, and the villagers of Lujia Village also returned to Lujia Village.
"Brother Jiu!" Guo Fatzi and Stammering walked over from not far away, stood beside me, and let out a low voice.
I was in a bad mood, nodded, and said, "How are the eight sons of the Lu family going to handle Mrs. Lu's funeral." ”
"Big deal!" Stammering and talking to the side.
"What about Lu Yaodong's corpse?" I asked.
"I have moved back and put it in a row with Mrs. Lu's body!" Stammered.
"Hmm!" I nodded, didn't speak again, my eyes were glued to the ancestral hall, my heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, especially not a taste, I never thought that Mrs. Lu would commit suicide.
In the next few days, because we recognized Mrs. Lu as a grandmother, we could not mix with the funeral, so we could only participate in the funeral as a filial grandson.
The whole funeral was quite lively, but compared with the funeral of the old hero, Mrs. Lu's funeral was not a little worse.
This can't be helped, life is like this, when the old hero Lu died, Mrs. Lu was alive, whether it was the country or an individual, she had to give her some face, and after Mrs. Lu died, that face no longer existed.
The funeral lasted for four days, these four days, we have been guarding the dragon coffin of Mrs. Lu, early in the morning of the fifth day, the eight sons of the Lu family invited more than a dozen local 'King Kong' to carry Mrs. Lu and Lu Yaodong up the mountain.
The graves of the mother and son are near Lujia Village, next to each other.
After those 'King Kong' buried Mrs. Lu's dragon coffin under the soil, we stood next to the grave for a long time, and we had an indescribable feeling in our hearts.
This stop was for most of the day, until more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Qiusheng pulled me and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't blame yourself, my mother will choose this way, there should be her hardships, we don't blame you." ”
As soon as he said this, I couldn't suppress the bitterness in my heart anymore, wow, I cried out, and sobbed: "Uncle Lu, I didn't expect Grandma Lu to commit suicide, I really didn't expect it, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, if I found out earlier, her old man wouldn't have died." ”
"Xiao Jiu, our brothers really didn't blame you, the night before my father's funeral, in the ancestral hall, our brothers heard what our mother meant, and persuaded them, but to no avail. originally planned to enlighten her old man after her father's funeral, but who knew that her mother left in such a hurry. The fourth elder of the Lu family patted me on the shoulder and said.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" I couldn't listen to them at all, and I kept blaming myself.
That night, I, Guo Fatzi, Stuttering and the eight sons of the Lu family, the eleven of us spent the night in the cemetery, and at noon the next day, we returned to Lujia Village.
After returning to Lujia Village, the other members of the Lu family were busy with things and returned to their respective companies, but Lu Qiusheng was very idle. It is not unreasonable to say that the richer the person, the more idle he is.
That Lu Qiusheng led us to rest in his villa for a whole day, and the next morning, he said that the dead were gone, and the living people had to hold on, and they wanted to take us to Baoding to go around, saying that it was to express a little heart.
I refused his kindness, chatted with him for a while, chatted, chatted, I suddenly thought that the villagers of Lujia Village had returned to the village, but Granny Qiao and Joyce had not returned to the village.
I asked the doubts in my mind.
When he heard this, he frowned and said, "When you were asleep, I inquired about the villagers, and they said that on the day of the funeral, they were locked up in a village where no one was around. ”
