Chapter 80: The Funeral
These days, Yan Lin has been staying in the mourning hall, and he didn't eat at first, but the next day, Yan's mother asked people to pull him to eat.
said that he didn't recognize this son, and he was distressed in his heart.
Today is the day of Old Man Yan's funeral, once the coffin is buried in the ground, you can only see the grave of the deceased in the future.
Before the coffin enters the grave, it needs to circle the spirit, that is, the family members carry the soul-attracting banner and turn left and right three times around the coffin in the sound of drums.
The family knelt in front of the coffin and wept.
When the old man Yan came to the funeral, many people came, in addition to relatives and friends, as well as people from the business field, as well as people who had received the favor of the old man in Chun'an County, they all came to see him off, and the crowd was crowded.
The Yan family originally moved here ten years ago, and it was supposed to be sent to Jiaqing by the family to bury the bones of Master Yan in the cemetery of the Yan family's own family in Jiaqing.
But now he is buried in a quiet mountain forest in Chun'an County.
The person who sent the spirit was puzzled, and when he asked, he found out that it was Old Man Yan who didn't want to go back to Jiaqing, his sons were all here, and if he went back, how would he see his family.
Only family members can make the stubborn old man Yan think about not returning to his hometown, and the place of peace is my hometown.
It is often said that when people die, the lights go out, and even the grievances of life will be over.
Yan Lin kowtowed three times in front of the grave and left, not on the way back to Chun'an County, there were already people waiting for him on the road with horses.
He went to the capital this time, found Zhou Xi and Zhang Ting to take their heads, and then came to his father's grave to confess.
Yan Rui's attention was not on him, he left without anyone asking.
Yan's mother, they stayed in front of the grave until almost noon, and then got up to return.
The coffins were all in the loess, and it was useless to cry again, so Yan's mother turned around step by step and walked back with the support of her words.
Only halfway through, Li Tianyan felt stuffy in his chest, and his whole body was very hot.
The body fell backwards at once, if Yan Rui hadn't held her in his arms quickly, I am afraid that she would have fallen to the ground.
"Talk, what's wrong with you?" Yan Rui reached out and probed her head and found that it was very hot.
"Why is it so hot?" Yan Rui looked anxiously at her frowning eyebrows because of discomfort.
Yan's mother took out a handkerchief and gave it to Yan Rui, and looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead at a loss, how could she sweat so much at this spring.
"Fire, fire."
Obviously, there are mountains in front of him, but Li Tianyan's eyes reflect a fire, there is a fire next to the osmanthus tree, it should be a fire in the house, the wind is very strong, and the tongue of fire is about to blow on the osmanthus tree, and now she only feels that the heat does not hurt.
Now that the season is dry, the trees have not yet grown new shoots, and if they are surrounded by fire, they will burn with a little spark.
"Where's the fire?"
"There's a fire in the house, and the tree is going to burn." Li Tianyan said anxiously in his arms, his cheeks were already hot and red.
The tree is on fire!
Yan Rui suddenly thought of the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.
As long as that tree can affect the talk, how can there be a fire in the house.
If there is someone left in the house to take care of it, it will be fine, and they will put out the fire.
Yan Rui thought as he picked up Tianyan and ran on the way back, "Tianyan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
Seeing that her son was so anxious, Yan's mother immediately understood what was going on.
This is really unfair, why do such unfortunate things happen in her Yan family, her Yan family has never done anything hurtful.
God, if you really want to condemn it, it will all fall on me, and don't let my sons and them suffer any more.
Yan Mu looked up at the clear blue sky, folded her hands, and prayed silently.
Today's sun is mild, it was a good day for the funeral, but now Yan's mother turned around and walked to Master Yan's grave.
Kneeling down beside the tombstone, he touched the name on the monument with one hand, "Qi Song, it was good to send you to that side in this climate today, but now I can't watch Tan Yan die, Yan Rui He will not be able to stand this blow, if you have a spirit in the sky, and there is a fire in the house, help help Tan Yan, go and ask the gods of the underworld to ask them for rain." ”
"Husband and wife for many years, I understand you, if you hear it, you will never ignore it." Yan Mu raised her eyes again, and the sky had not changed at all, and there was not even a cloud next to the sun.
"I have no choice but to beg you, you can help me solve anything I have before, help me this time, and help our children again."
On the other side, Yan Rui ran forward frantically with Li Tanyan in his arms, and the sweat on Tanyan's body became more and more.
Today is to send my father out, since all the way to walk here, now I want to hurry back, can only run slowly with my feet, but here is still five miles away from home, if the fire together, so far to rush over is afraid that it will burn out.
"Don't run, you can't make it,... If the fire is extinguished in the house, it is good, if it is... Li Tianyan put one hand around his neck, wanting to get closer to him, wanting to kiss him, while he was still conscious, while the fire had just burned on the branches, there was still some time.
She laughed, trying to break out of his arms.
Yan Rui lowered his head to understand her thoughts, and gently bit her lips and said, "I won't stop, after I say that we will go to Baitou together, go home first, go home first." ”
Yan Rui replied in a panic, he could feel the temperature on Tan Yan's body getting higher and higher, as if he was holding a piece of iron thrown into the fire and burning in his arms.
His hands hurt when it was hot, and his heart hurt even more.
"Stop, stop."
Li Tianyan took his hand off his neck, no longer hugged him, and reached out to pull his hand away from him.
But his current strength is really not enough, for Yan Rui, he just scratched his wrist.
Yan Rui took a few steps forward but stopped, hugged her and half-squatted on the side of the road, held her head with one hand, and kissed her on the forehead silently.
He endured the pain of being burned by the fire on his body, half-squinted his teardropping eyes, and felt the warmth in his forehead and the smell of his body.
The uncomfortable voice still overflowed from the corner of her mouth, "Hmm. ”
Yan Rui lifted her messy hair, looked at her face seriously, and carefully looked at her eyebrows, eyes and nose, "I remember your appearance, and when I come to look for you again, I won't recognize the wrong person, I heard that the underworld is very dark." ”
"Where did you hear that?" She didn't persuade him not to die, it's useless to say it now, he won't listen, he knows me, and I know him.
"I don't remember, I heard about it a long time ago."
The two of them chatted like this as if they were in their own yard, and everything around them was forgotten by them.
Just when Li Tianyan thought that he was going to be burned to death, the sky suddenly darkened, and a thunderclap sounded, and the wind and rain were coming, and the rain was pouring down.
A little rain hit the two of them and hit every corner of Chun'an County.
The rain was even more intense and heavier than the previous days.
Yan Rui and the others looked at the pouring rain, "Say, look at this rain, I mean that you will be fine." ”
Yan's mother was in front of the grave, the rain hit her face, and she slid down on the tombstone with tears.
You must have heard it, Qi Song, wait for me! Wait for me over there, wait for this Rui'er and their affairs to be resolved, and when they have children, I will come to you.
