Chapter 259: Funeral
As for Xu Zhengting, he directly refused in front of many army commanders, and on the grounds of lack of ability, it was rare that he did not dismantle the scene this time.
The main reason is that everyone is now grieving the death of the Overseer, and they don't dare to go too far, in case it causes the opposite effect.
Forty-nine days have passed, the Overseer's House.
Xu Shoufan and his wife stood quietly on one side, and on the other side were Xu Jinling, Xu Zhengyan and Zeng Yue, a drum sounded, and the funeral began.
Zeng Zhi was dressed in military uniform and was gently lifted by four solemn-looking soldiers and put into the prepared coffin.
As the lid of the coffin of the golden silk nanmu was closed, hearing the sound of steel nails being nailed into the coffin, Xu Shoufan only felt a sense of weakness in his limbs.
Zeng Zhi lingered on the sickbed for five or six years, and now he is gone at this most critical time, which saves a worry, but he is guarding the mess of Lindong.
In this situation in front of him, Xiao Si and Xiao Qi were in full swing, Mu Ting began to pretend again, and he couldn't tell what the situation would be when he left!
The Overseer's tomb was built on Minghe Mountain, and this time, Xu Zhengting brought Su Ruo, which shocked the people who accompanied him.
Su Ruo was wearing a black riding suit, with a small face without powder, and she held Xu Zhengting's hand and followed the back of the team.
The sky was drizzling, she pursed her lips and reached out, trying to catch the raindrops, but as soon as she stretched out, she was stopped by Xu Zhengting.
Xu Zhengting chuckled at her and said, "It's cold, don't move, I'll go and order someone to bring an umbrella." ”
"I'm not that squeamish." Su Ruo shook his head with a smile, "It's just a little rain, it's up to you to be in a hurry." ”
Xu Zhengting knocked on her forehead, took off his coat and put it on her, and said, "Have you forgotten that you caught a cold not long ago and stayed in the hospital for a few days?" ”
Hearing this, Su Ruo immediately stopped talking, obediently put on his coat, and looked at him with blinking eyes for a moment.
"I didn't promise you to come today to catch you a cold."
Xu Zhengting held up the umbrella, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't help but nod her head, with a light smile on his face.
Su Ruo put on his clothes, and he looked like a child stealing adult clothes, and the clothes were pulled directly to the thighs.
She had been grinding with Xu Zhengting since early in the morning, asking him to bring her, but he just didn't let go.
Or did she deliberately get angry with him, and then accidentally caught a cold and went to the hospital again, and he was worried about her body, so he relieved.
"Got it." Su Ruo stuck out her tongue.
At this moment, Zeng Zhi's coffin slowly started and was pushed into the hearse, and Su Ruo could feel Xu Zhengting's solemn mood.
She watched the hearse pass in front of them, and then it was Zeng Yue and Xu Zhengyan who walked over, Xu Zhengyan glanced at her, and Su Ruo quickly looked away.
Immediately after meeting Xu Shoufan's eyes, Su Ruo's heart jumped, but in more than a month, he seemed to be a few years older.
However, thinking of Xu Zhengting's past, Su Ruo couldn't sympathize with her heart, she bit her lower lip, and before she could think about it, Xu Zhengting pulled her up with a cold face and went to the back of the team.
The hearse drove slowly through the streets of Lindong, and many people on the street stood on one side of the street, watching calmly and solemnly.
When it slowly turned into Minghe Mountain, the cemetery was ready, Nanmu's coffin was already parked in the tomb, and the coffin was taken out of the hearse and slowly placed in the coffin and sank.
The door of the tomb closed, Zeng Yue couldn't help crying, Xu Zhengyan hugged her, she lay in his arms and cried, only at this moment, this extremely suppressed sad atmosphere was relaxed.
Su Ruoxin also grabbed together, feeling a little trance, Xu Zhengting grabbed her hand tightly, she let herself lean on him, and watched the tomb door completely closed.
This situation coincides strangely with the scene in my memory, as if I have returned to the day of my mother's burial, and my heart seems to be empty.
It was as if she had lost an elder in her life who had always cared for her, and she turned around and saw Shen Lansheng standing behind her with white hair, looking sad.
Su Ruo's heart tightened, and he slowly turned around, and suddenly his eyes were confused by tears.
She choked up and pulled Xu Zhengting and said, "I'm uncomfortable." ”
Xu Zhengting pursed the corners of his lips, bent down when he heard the words, hugged her into his arms, patted her back, and whispered: "If you feel uncomfortable, cry out." ”
Su Ruo hugged his waist, tears kept pouring out like she didn't want money, and she couldn't even stop it.
Xu Zhengting patted her back gently, his eyes kept emptying, and his tense heart relaxed at this moment.
He thought that he would not care about these things, he thought that he could solve these things well, but he really couldn't bear it, as long as he had a pair of worried eyes from Shang Su Ruo, he immediately broke his work.
Maybe he shouldn't have told her so much on impulse.
"Alright, Ruoruo, it's time for us."
Xu Zhengting reached out to wipe away her tears, bent his lips slightly, and then pulled her slowly to the grave.
Xu Shoufan and Xu Zhengcheng had already worshipped in front, and Xu Zhengyan was kneeling with Zeng Yue and sitting on the side.
Su Ruo knelt down with Xu Zhengting, kowtowed to Zeng Dujun to say goodbye, raised her head, and crashed into Xu Zhengyan's eyes, her heart jumped.
As if seeing the near future, both of them fell in a pool of blood, she panicked, and Xu Zhengting took her hand and stood up at this time.
He pulled her and slowly walked to Xu Jinling, anyone Su Ruo could accept it, but Xu Jinling, she still rejected her.
Xu Zhengting held her hand tightly and hurriedly said, "Festival mourning." ”
Before leaving, Xu Jinling slowly opened his mouth and said, "Since you came with Xiao Qi, you should stand behind his father with him." ”
Xu Zhengting has been deliberately distancing herself from Xu Shoufan and his wife, and he has not stood behind Xu Shoufan like Xu Zhengcheng and his wife.
Su Ruo's hands suddenly tightened, and her heart began to beat rapidly, what did she mean by this, did she really recognize what she meant?
Xu Zhengting held her clammy fingers, pursed his lips, looked at the solemn woman in front of him, pulled Su Ruo behind him, and said coldly: "Madame is too wide, right?" ”
After that, he pulled Su Ruo and was about to leave.
Zeng Yue got up from the ground, stopped in front of the two, looked at him and Su Ruo pleadingly, and said, "Xiao Qi, don't go, Su Ruo, you persuade Xiao Qi to stay?" ”
Su Ruo looked at her crumbling body, stretched out her hand to support her, and said, "Sister Zeng......"
Then she couldn't help but let go of Xu Jinling's ancient eyes, as well as the gaze cast by Xu Shoufan and his wife.
Is that... A supplicating gaze.
Su Ruo lowered her eyelids, her emotions tumbled violently, and finally turned into calm. She exhaled and raised her head to look at Xu Zhengting.
Seeing the worry in his eyes that couldn't help but hide, she suddenly relaxed, looked at him and whispered, "Court." ”
She didn't have to say anything, Xu Zhengting already understood, he stared at her pale face fixedly, and then slowly led her to stand behind Xu Shoufan.
Su Ruo held his hand with both hands, Xu Zhengting touched her head, and didn't look back at Xu Shoufan.
He whispered, "If you don't feel well, you must tell me, and we will go back." ”
"Don't worry." Su Ruo shook his head, hooked his lips slightly, lowered his head and said, "Always let you accommodate me, it's really... I'm sorry. ”
It seemed like the first time she had said sorry to him.
She has always found it difficult to apologize, jokingly saying that she can say it, but seriously saying that she apologizes, she feels that she can't do it.
But when he really said it, he didn't have so many scruples, so he naturally said it.
The depression in Xu Zhengting's heart trembled because of these words, and he lowered his head to meet her black and white eyes, with understanding and guilt.
"You don't need to apologize, you're good, really good." Xu Zhengting hugged her into his arms, stroked her hair, and said.
It was obvious that she gave herself the stairs, but she was the one who bowed her head first, and she could always see his thoughts at a glance.
He should be the one who should say sorry.
He never cared about her feelings, didn't think about how she would feel when she was caught in the middle and under pressure from many sides.
knew clearly that she understood the whole story of those things, but she was immersed in her own emotions and avoided her in a different way.
It's up to him to say he's sorry.
