Chapter 20 Cui Yingying and the aquatic life, old age, sickness and death

Aquatic do not understand why people die? What he saw was the uncle's endless sleep, his cold body gradually stiffened, and some spots appeared on his skin that he didn't understand!

Uncle Cui's death didn't take long for the whole village to know, and the next day under the arrangement of the aquatic godmother, the mourning hall was set up, because Uncle Cui had no son and Shui Sheng was also a quasi-son-in-law, so Shui Sheng was the first to kneel in the mourning hall to burn paper money.

Cui Yingying is by his side, Cui Yingying has been crying, this is from yesterday after the uncle left to the present, at this time Cui Yingying's eyes are red and swollen, full of bloodshots, and her voice is hoarse like an elderly grandmother

And the aquatic godmother is greeting the villagers who come to the village to participate in the memorial service

Shui Sheng really couldn't bear Cui Yingying's disregard for his body like this, he gently brushed away his hair that was bowing his head and crying, and said softly: "Yingying, don't cry, you go to the back to rest, Uncle must not want to see you ignore yourself, you have been crying for a day and a night, enough!" ”

Cui Yingying raised her head and looked at Shui Sheng with great sadness and weakness: "Brother Shuisheng, my mother said that my father is gone, and I won't be able to see my father in the future, and I have to bury my father, why." Why? Brother Shuisheng, do people have to die? Do you have to leave one by one? Yingying is so scared, afraid that one day the aquatic brother and her mother will be gone, if that's the case, Yingying is alone...... Hmm, Brother Shuisheng, Dad is gone!! Ahh......h

After Cui Yingying finished speaking, she suddenly fell to the water, and then the whole person fell into a coma

Shui Sheng was not surprised, because Yingying was too weak, and it was a good thing for her to be in a coma at this time, he carried Yingying back to the back room, and glanced at the godmother when he left, and the godmother nodded lightly when she saw it, and continued to entertain the villagers

When the people in the village pass away, the big guys will gather together to pay tribute one after another, and at the same time the main family will also prepare meals, according to the village, this is called "old people's rice", Shui Sheng especially does not understand why people are no longer dead but have to put on a feast, he thinks that maybe he is still young, these will understand when he grows up

Aquatic settled the warbler, he remembered what the warbler said in his heart, he also had a hard time understanding why people die, at this time a seed was planted in his heart, if he could live forever with the warbler, how good?

Shui Sheng returned to the mourning hall, at this time the people in the village arrived, they sat down on the feast set up in the courtyard after their memorial service, everyone ate and drank wine, but Shui Sheng did not understand that the villagers were actually laughing, they laughed very happily, eating meat, drinking wine, and laughing loudly!

Shui Sheng, Yingying and Godmother were almost heartbroken because of the uncle's death, and at this time, the villagers were actually laughing happily? Shui Sheng couldn't understand, he looked at his godmother and said coldly: "Godmother, why are they still laughing?" ”

The godmother said helplessly: "Hey...... Living to be in their forties is already considered a long life, and it is natural to die at this time, so everyone thinks that it is a long-lived old man's meal, and they feel that they can take advantage of a little longevity, so they are very happy. ”

"Why? Obviously, Uncle Ming has passed away, even if it is Gao Shou, why are they so happy? Don't they grieve when the uncle dies? Anyway, the uncle has also done a lot of things for the village," Shui Sheng said very unhappily

The godmother sighed, and said with a sad face a little helpless: "This is the way of the world, for Gao Shou, who can live more than forty years old, the life of living more is earned, so people will be happy for the life they earn, happy for the high life, although they may have some reluctance in their hearts, but people are going to die, since they have lived a few more years, then it is worth being happy, not to mention that they can also have a high life!" ”

Shui Sheng understood what his godmother said, yes, he understood, but it was obviously an extremely sad and sad thing, but it revealed a joyful atmosphere? He couldn't accept it, thinking of the crying warbler with broken liver and intestines, and the scene of the dying uncle's lonely life. Shui Sheng suddenly felt that human nature was ugly, and everyone present was ugly, even if he understood what his godmother said, but the scene of sadness and joy was compared in the same environment, and he couldn't accept it anyway!

Shui Sheng didn't go to eat, nor did he go to see the warbler, he came to the back of the mourning hall alone, and looked at the uncle lying there calmly in the coffin, he remembered when he was a child, remembered the uncle and his bits and pieces

"Little Shuisheng, this is called a Trojan horse, come and try it, the uncle made it for your warbler"

"Xiao Shuisheng, the uncle has no children in his life, it's good to have you" Xiao Shuisheng was confused

"Shuisheng, Uncle gave you Yingying, you have to take good care of her, you know?"

It was the scene when the uncle handed him Yingying's hand a month ago

Shui Sheng cried again, he thought that life was really hard, and he had to face birth, old age, sickness and death, and he suddenly felt that if one day he and Yingying faced life and death, how cruel would it be? Although he trembled just thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he had heard a legend left in the village, saying that there was an elixir in the primeval forest behind the back mountain that could make people immortal, but no one who went there had ever returned

When he was a child, he didn't understand the word immortality, and he didn't understand it, but when he thought about it, he suddenly felt a thrill, and he secretly made a decision in his heart, and this decision made his and Yingying's lives fall into endless pain!

There is an old man sitting under the old locust tree on the top of the back mountain, and there is an old green cow beside him, the green cow is grazing, and the old man is sitting leisurely under the old locust tree with his eyes slightly closed

It was already noon, and the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and he found that the young man he had agreed with yesterday had not come

"Hmm, you didn't come? I'll take a look" The old man stretched out his right hand fingers to quickly switch, he was counting!

After a moment, the old man stopped moving, and he sighed deeply and said, "Hey...... It's still a step too late, it seems that this is your fate, and you can't escape the fate of it! ”

The old man stood up, his right hand touched the trunk of the old locust tree, and there was a trace of white light where the hand was connected to the trunk, and he walked to the green cow and said, "Old man, can't fate really be changed?" Why can't such a human tragedy escape? ”

At this time, if there are outsiders here, they will be surprised, because they see that Qingniu actually raised his head and opened his mouth to speak

"Ancestor, you have already reminded that the child's fate may be like this, didn't you look at his fate? What should have happened next year has been advanced, and it can only be said that it is fate" Look at the green cow language respectfully

"Hey, yes, fate is really elusive, hey, he just has no one to tell him the great truth of the world, the causal cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, and finally misunderstood the word life, let's go, go down the mountain" The old man said and watched the green ox go down the mountain, but when he came to the side of the mountain, he turned back to the old locust tree and said: "You are also fate, it is fate, maybe after many years, you will be reborn!" ”

After saying that, the old man rode the green ox and disappeared on the top of the back mountain, leaving a place of grass and an old locust tree, at this time maybe it was an illusion, maybe it was the wind blowing, the huge body of the old locust tree was slightly bent, as if a human bowed? No one answered, and no one knew......

At this time, Shui Sheng packed up his baggage, he glanced at Cui Yingying lying on the bed, he gently bent down and pecked Cui Yingying's pink face, then took a deep look, and then left a bamboo slip and strode out

Bamboo writing is the uncle has taught him and Yingying since he was a child, and the uncle said that this is called writing, which is a tool that can express people's speech

Shui Sheng went out and saw that the godmother was still busy at the front door, he cherished a look at the godmother, and then coldly glanced at the villagers in the yard who were pushing cups and changing lamps, and then walked out of the village, his goal was the big deep mountain, and this deep mountain could not be turned over in the back mountain, so it had to be bypassed, he walked at the entrance of the village and stopped for a while, and then took a firm step, but he muttered to himself: "If one day, I succeed in gaining immortality, I will definitely let Yingying and Godmother live forever, and I will watch everyone else die, Glad to have died in your prime of life, and happy to have a bite of your family's old man's meal, haha! Humanity ......"

The old man finally rode the green ox down the mountain, and at this time, the villagers in Uncle Cui's house had dispersed, leaving only the aquatic godmother and Cui Yingying

At this time, Cui Yingying looked at the bamboo slips left by Brother Shui in a daze, and the godmother was also helpless, she also knew words, and Uncle Cui also taught her

Cui Yingying cried silently, she looked at the bamboo slip and was already stunned, and at this moment, a person suddenly came in, an old man, plus an old green cow

Cui Yingying and her mother were stunned for a moment when they saw the old man and Qingniu coming suddenly, and before they could ask questions, the old man's voice sounded, he stared at Yingying and said:

"Let's talk about your aquatic brother?"
