Chapter 248: The Mourning Hall
We took a taxi at the south gate, grandpa gave the location in the city, is only a few stops away from my house, we arrived in the city at eight o'clock in the evening, grandpa did not come to pick us up, I was relieved, he is just a middleman, there is something to find thick ink is the son of a boss. This is a real estate boss, more than half a hundred years old, this son is about thirty, although he is dressed with extraordinary bearing, but he looks panicked, as if he has been greatly frightened.
As soon as he saw thick ink, he said, "Little master, my dad is really gone!" "It is said that men have tears and do not flick, but they have not reached the sad place, he is a dignified man who cried, it turned out that his father died, and the pain of losing his loved ones can probably only be experienced by his loved ones, I told him in my heart to mourn.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save your father." Thick ink said, "Where is the mourning hall?" ”
"Set up in a hotel, I'll take you there." The hotel is not far from where we got off, the boss's son wants to use the car to travel, thick ink refused, he said we have to walk, because we didn't come to worship during the day, as a person who came at night, we must have so much, a hundred steps, a walk, the first show sincerity, the second can also mean that we went all the way, went to the night, it took a long time, the dead are not strange. Thick ink is a person who learns the Tao and knows a lot of rules, but there is also such a custom in the countryside, that is, the firecrackers are released, the funeral banquet has been opened, and if you don't have time to go, don't go to the deceased's house to worship, which is impolite and curses other people's homes.
There is a hotel dedicated to funerals, generally speaking, the hotel is not taboo for funerals, that is, it is okay to do funerals and happy events, and it is okay to do funerals if you have done happy events, because the hotel is a public place, which is the same as the nature of the hotel, but this hotel is specifically responsible for funerals. This is something we haven't seen in our town, maybe because the town is small, there is not so much money to get a professional funeral one-stop service hotel, the boss's son introduced himself and said let's call him Xiao Chen, Xiao, Xiao Chen...... My lips trembled and I silently recited the word Xiao Chen, and then followed him into the hotel.
This hotel is full of funeral atmosphere, according to Xiao Chen, only high-end people can come to the funeral here, I was stunned when I heard it, this, is there any difference? Funerals should also be compared, okay...... In the end, it will not all turn into a wisp of green ashes, I can't understand it, it's enough to be filial when you're alive, it's useless to be alive and not filial to die, of course, filial piety is another matter. As soon as I entered the hotel, I grabbed the hand of thick ink, and when I thought that this was a special funeral, I had goosebumps on my body, although the layout in the hotel was simple and elegant, but it was indeed visible that the grade was indeed visible, Xiao Chen also said arrogantly, he wrapped the whole hotel, because every floor here can do funerals, he wants to give Lao Chen a unique funeral, not to bother other ghosts.
"What floor is your father on?" Thick ink asked.
"On the sixth floor." I vulgarly thought of Liuliu Dashun, and also thought of the ghost of the old man on the sixth floor of my community, and they don't know how they are doing now.
We entered the elevator, fortunately the elevator was not the mirror I hated, I leaned on thick ink tightly, thick ink also felt my fear, he held me in the crook of his arm, and his hand also held my hand tightly, my heart warmed.
When the elevator door opened, we saw an empty whole floor, this whole floor is really empty, tomorrow will start the real farewell ceremony, tonight this side should just be arranged, there are not many people in the mourning hall, are the boss's family, this boss has only one son, the grandson has not, the others are the boss's sisters, as well as a few hotel staff, one of them should be the boss's wife, although she is old, but the charm still exists, her eyes are red and swollen, a noble lady's posture, However, when she saw her son coming with us, she hurriedly took off her posture and came over to greet her, "Little master, you are here!" She was obviously stunned when she saw me, "This is ......" Her eyes were a little sharp, and I guessed that thick ink came to do things, and he shouldn't bring his girlfriend.
"I'm his cousin, and I know a little bit about it, so I'm here with my cousin today." I'm busy talking. Look, this identity can still be used. But the act of thick ink suddenly pinching my palm fiercely is for that, why! I'm not here to make it easier! It's not like we don't have cousins.
"Oh, it turned out to be my cousin, come and pour a cup of tea, Mama Zhao!" Her eyes changed immediately, and she called someone to come and pour us tea, but how could I have the heart to drink tea, my mind was now full of what thick ink was about to deal with.
I don't know what he's coming for, and Nongmo didn't sue me, but looking at Xiao Chen's actions and Xiao Chen's mother seeing Nongmo like seeing a savior, I guess it's not a simple thing.
At nine o'clock, only two of the boss's family remained, his son and daughter-in-law, and the others went back on the grounds of old age, leaving the young man to keep vigil. I walked to the window, forgot to forget the night sky where there were no stars at all, and silently shed two lines of tears in my heart, I want to keep vigil here with thick ink! Do you want to sue me, what is our mission?
Fortunately, I arranged a room next to the mourning hall for me and thick ink, I didn't want to be alone in a room, so it became a room with two beds, I went in and threw the two beds together with a tongue, the door was closed, but the mourning hall outside, a corpse was there, and, I looked around, after the people left, there was no one here at all, okay, there was only a ghost at all, a lifeless funeral hotel, or on the sixth floor! Scary without such damage!
"Let's go wash up first." Thick ink said to me with disgust.
"I don't want it!" I will follow him wherever he goes, and I will follow him to the death today, and he should be honored.
"Then I'll go." Thick ink wants to go to the bathroom.
"No way!" I stopped in front of him, "You, you're in, what should I do?" ”
"You're coming in too?" Dark eyes glanced at me, then at himself, "Let's wash together?" ”
"The ghost wants to be with you!" I shouted angrily, and then realized that I had just said that word, and immediately regretted that my intestines were blue, I shouldn't have said this word at night, and I still don't know how many ghosts there are here! I was so frightened that I shrank down beside thick ink, "You don't want to take a bath, okay?" "I know I'm making trouble unreasonably, but the fear is too strong, only next to the thick ink I feel at ease, woo, there doesn't seem to be any danger here, am I here to make a mistake, in fact, the thick ink was originally here to guard the spirit!
"Ah Xuan, how can you sleep without taking a bath? You can fall asleep, but I can't. Thick Ink said and was about to pull me away.
I hugged his arm, "I'll go in too!" I closed my eyes and shouted something that shook the world, and I guess even if there were ghosts at this time, they would be ashamed of my actions and become insane.
"Really, really?" Look, thick ink's voice has become abnormal, is he questioning my fear of ghosts?
"I said go in, just go in!" I, I close my eyes! I just don't want to wait out there alone!
"Don't make a fuss, I'll be out in a moment, soon." Hey, I've decided, I'm not happy with the thick ink, and I'm not going to do it!
"I'm going in!" I say. He said that he suspected that I had a brain problem, or was possessed by something, and was about to ask for a pair of chopsticks to hold my middle finger, until he saw me blushing and really believed that this was indeed Lin Xuan, the real Lin Xuan, but he was still just beginning to move forward on the road of female hooligans.
I can't stand being alone here, and he really can't stand falling asleep without taking a bath, so I really followed him in, the bathroom is relatively simple, usually a washstand, and a shower on one side, and there is nothing to cover, such a weird atmosphere will not believe anyone who says it, and we really do it. My head was wrapped in a towel, and the towel was pulled down to cover my eyes, so I couldn't see at all, but it was good that I couldn't see out of sight, so I wouldn't be afraid of anything outside.
"I'm undressing, hold back and don't look at it." The sound of thick ink is close to my ears, isn't it, so close, this bathroom is not so small, this voice is too close, I rubbed my ears, is it because my hearing is too good?
"Take it off!" What's the matter with me, "I won't watch it!" "If I'm really just here tonight, then I'm really going to lose a lot! I didn't do anything practical, and I was scared in vain.
"I really took it off." He said. I always felt that the voice was coming in my direction.
"Wash it quickly when you're done!" I urged him.
Soon, I heard the sound of water, a bang, I could even feel the water dripping from his head to his heels, some of the water would also fall from his elbows, chin, water droplets flew everywhere with his head swinging, he closed his eyes and let the spray flow to his face, a hot current rushed up my nose, ahhhhhhhh What was I thinking? It's better to go out! Thick ink is even more terrifying than a ghost! I held my head and was about to open the door and go out.
