306.Chapter 306: The Coffin of the Nine Sons (26)
At this moment, Lu Qiusheng spoke, and he said: "What this little brother is worried about, our nine brothers have already discussed it with our father, and his old man agrees very much, this will definitely not happen." β
After speaking, he nodded at Jiang Ye beside me.
Hearing him say this, I had some doubts in my heart, the nine sons of the Lu family ran the train with their mouths full, saying that the old hero agrees, nine times out of ten it is a lie. As for the reason, it's very simple, the old hero is an old generation, and he takes his funeral very seriously, and he will never agree to the so-called nine sons and nine funerals, this TM is nonsense.
I was about to question Lu Qiusheng, but Jiang Ye patted me on the shoulder and whispered: "Xiao Jiu, we are just here to do the funeral, don't overstep your authority to ask about the affairs of the main family." β
"Heβ" I was a little angry.
"Don't talk about it." Jiang Ye glanced at me dissatisfied.
I didn't speak again, so I had to swallow the anger in my heart, and my eyes were fixed on Lu Qiusheng to see what else he wanted to say.
I saw that Lu Qiusheng was still standing there, with a smile on his face, and that smile seemed to me to be very disgusting.
"Masters, it's about to be the time of my father's immortal death, let's move to the humble house to talk in detail, okay?" That Lu Qiusheng stood on it and smiled slightly.
As these words fell, those metaphysical masters said hello in unison, their expressions were very flattering, especially the Shui Yun Zhenren, whose expressions were even more exaggerated, clapped vigorously, and shouted in their mouths: "Everything is arranged by Boss Lu." β
Afterwards, some of our metaphysical masters followed behind the nine sons of the Lu family, leaving the ancestral hall and going straight to the place where the old hero was.
After walking for about three minutes, we came to the easternmost part of the village, and there was a luxurious villa, decorated like a palace, and a pair of golden pixiu about one meter high were placed at the door.
Made, it's really rich, that's the first thought in my head.
What stranged me to me was that on the left side of this villa there was a dirt house that did not match it, about a foot high, with a lot of snow on the roof, and some hoes and sickles were placed at the door.
"What's going on?" I pulled Jiang Ye, who was walking in front, and stretched out my hand to the earthen house.
"The old hero is not used to living in a villa, and says that the earthen house is cool and down-to-earth!" Jiang Ye explained to me.
I sighed, and the impression of the old hero in my heart was a little higher, so I said to Jiang Ye: "Can I go into that house to see the old hero?" β
Jiang Ye shook his head and said, "With your identity, you shouldn't be able to enter, just guard outside!" I'll call you later! β
I was disappointed, and I didn't say anything more, just walked towards the earthen house behind Jiang Ye.
When we came to the earthen house, as soon as we stopped, we heard the son of the Lu family call the names of the three people and say, "A few masters, come with us to see my father." β
These three names are, Liuyun Dao Chang, Jiang Ye, Granny Qiao, as for Shui Yun Zhenren, it seems that he doesn't have that qualification, just like me, guarding the door of the earthen house.
I waited outside the room for a long time, until the sky gradually darkened, and a person came out, it was Jiang Ye.
He searched outside for a while, and finally stopped his gaze on me, beckoned to me, and said, "Xiao Jiu, come here!" β
I was stunned, walked over, and asked, "Master Jiang, what's the matter?" β
He stopped and said, "The old hero called you!" β
When I heard this, I was confused, what's going on? I've never met the old hero, what does he call me? I asked the doubts in my mind.
He patted me on the shoulder and said something inexplicable, he said, "Little junior brother, don't embarrass the master. β
"What? Jiang Ye, what do you call me? I exclaimed.
Jiang Ye glared at me and said, "Keep your voice down, don't let outsiders know!" β
Hearing this, my mind was full of confusion, when did I become Jiang Ye's junior brother? Who is the master? But in order to catch a glimpse of the old hero's demeanor, I suppressed the doubts in my heart and walked in behind Jiang Ye.
After entering the door, I found that the house was not very large, about 20 square meters, with few furnishings, only a few simple furniture, and a wooden bed on the left hand side of the door.
Surrounded by the bed, the nine sons of the Lu family and an old lady, the old lady was wearing a red cheongsam embroidered with a golden phoenix, looking at the style should be the wedding dress?
What's going on? The old hero is about to die, but this old lady is wearing a red cheongsam?
After being stunned for a while, I looked towards the bed, because the nine sons of the Lu family were surrounded by me, I could only see through the gap, there was an old man lying on the bed, dressed in a dark gray tunic suit, with a Chinese face and a high nose.
"Xiao Jiu, go over!" Jiang Ye whispered behind me.
I hummed and walked towards the bed, the ninth son of the Lu family saw me coming, moved a little away, I stood over, and saw the old hero's face was blue, and his eyes were very cloudy.
After seeing me, the old hero smiled with difficulty and said, "You are Chen Jiu, right?" β
His voice was weak and a little indistinct, but I could hear him well.
I nodded, bent down at the old hero, and said, "The old hero is above, please accept Xiao Jiuyi!" β
With that, I knelt in front of the bed, kowtowed, stood up, and looked at the old hero. Someone must say, why do you kneel to a person inexplicably?
Because, I have a reason for me to kneel. One is because of the contributions made by the old heroes to the country, without the anti-Japanese heroes like the old heroes, how can there be a current life? Even if my family is very poor, compared with the years when the Japanese invaded China, no matter how poor my life is, it is less than one-tenth of those years.
As a post-80s generation who has not experienced war, we can't fight for the country like old heroes, at least, we also need to give those anti-Japanese heroes a respect, a respect like respecting parents, this is what we should do after the 80s, and it is also what we must do after the 80s.
Not for anything else, just because the life we have now is all due to the merits of those anti-Japanese heroes, and the results of their life and blood.
As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water must be reciprocated by a spring, those anti-Japanese heroes gave us a land of survival, a sky without gunsmoke, this grace is far greater than the grace of a drop of water, what reason do we have not to respect them?
Thinking of this, I clenched my fists, I must not let the nine sons of the Lu family make a mess of the old hero's funeral for a so-called priority, let alone allow any accidents to occur at the old hero's funeral.
When the old hero saw me stand up, he smiled kindly and stretched out his hand, but his hand was only skinny and bone, and there were several knife wounds on it, which looked a little hideous.
I came to my senses and quickly held his hand, to be honest, I was nervous, and my palms trembled a little.
The old hero tightened his hands, signaled me not to be nervous, and said, "Xiao Jiu, it's good to see you!" β
I was stunned, what do you mean by that? Previously, Jiang Ye inexplicably called me junior brother, but now listening to the tone of the old hero, it seems that he has known that I am such a person for a long time? What's going on?
