Uncle slowly turned his head and looked at me tiredly: "Zhao Mang, are we okay now?" ”

I nodded. said, "It's okay." Tomorrow a funeral will be held for the old beggar, and the matter will be revealed. ”

Uncle nodded: "Okay, this is great." ”

The baby lying on the ground was very small, but his face was very mature, and I didn't dare to approach him at all. But the aunt picked him up very lovingly, and said happily: "Son, my son has found it." Son, what do you want to eat? Mom cooks for you. ”

I looked at her, and I was a little worried about the way she looked. It's obviously a bit crazy.

Fortunately, the uncle patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go, this is just a soul, not our son." ”

As if she had been awakened, my aunt suddenly looked up at the two of us: "Yes, my son is still lying in the hospital." We need to hurry up and save him. ”

Uncle pointed to the baby: "Zhao Mang, do you have a way to save it?"

I recalled the scene when I rescued Xue Qian, and then hesitantly said, "It should be possible." Let's get out of here, in the middle of the night. Spooky. ”

The two of them nodded. Push the tricycle and walk back.

It stands to reason that I'm a young man, and I should ride on the bike and carry the two of them. It's just that I have injuries on my body now, and I really can't use my strength. Walking, let alone riding a tricycle, is a problem.

So I got in the car and was brazenly taken to the hospital by my uncle.

My aunt was waiting for us at the entrance of the hospital with the baby in her arms. And Uncle and I went in. The third brother was discharged. By the time this qiē was over, it was almost dawn.

As soon as the rooster sang the world white, after the rooster crowed, the third brother's soul didn't know if he could survive it, I was a little anxious in my heart, so I urged the uncle: "Let's send the third brother home quickly." ”

Fortunately, the town was not big, and after about ten minutes, we were at home. I instructed my aunt to put the baby on the bed and let him lie down next to my third brother.

The baby looked at the third brother and then at us. It seems that some don't understand what this means. I looked at my watch, secretly anxious, but at this time, I couldn't rush him.

He reached out and touched the third brother's face. At this time, the third brother's body seemed to have some attraction, and the baby was sucked in whole. In the blink of an eye, the baby disappeared without a trace, and the third brother's body was ruddy.

I breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "That's it, I should wake up soon." "I originally wanted to draw a scoop according to the gourd and find some half-day river. But after thinking about it, we don't seem to have any bamboo here, so don't toss around with my two knives.

My aunt sat in the house guarding the third brother, and the eldest uncle thanked me so much that he asked me, "Will you still come to the funeral tomorrow?" ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Send the Buddha to the west, I'd better go for a while, and you can call me when the time comes." ”

While the two of us were talking, my aunt suddenly came out and said cheerfully to us, "Wake up, my son is awake." ”

I walked in quickly and saw the third brother sitting on the bed in a daze, looking at us.

The aunt asked nervously, "Child, do you remember?" ”

The third brother thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's like a nightmare, after waking up, I forgot most of it, but I know that it's all true." ”

Aunt's expression was a little gloomy: "If only you didn't remember." ”

The third brother smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you remember, I'm still the same as before." ”

The aunt became happy and kept saying, "That's good, that's good." ”

Uncle thanked me again. I took my leave and headed home.

When I got home, I opened the door and found the light in the living room was on and my parents were sitting on the couch.

I was a little surprised and said, "Woke up so early?" ”

My mother yawned and said, "People are old, and they won't be able to sleep long before they wake up." Now I'm sleepy again, so I'll get some sleep again. ”

I looked at them strangely, then went back to my room and went to sleep. It wasn't until I was lying in bed that I realized that my parents probably hadn't slept all night and were waiting for me to come back.

This night, I slept until noon the next day. My mom walked in and woke me up, "Get up, your uncle is waiting for you outside." ”

I slowly put on my clothes, walked into the living room, grabbed a big knife and was about to go out.

My mom asked me, "What are you and your uncle doing these days?" How to celebrate the New Year's funeral? And it's still people who have long since died? ”

I didn't know how to answer, so I smiled and said, "That old beggar is quite pitiful, and Uncle wants to do good deeds." ”

My mom gave me a strange look, but didn't say anything. Just told me to stay safe on the road.

I said yes and walked out of the living room.

I saw my uncle standing in front of my house again smoking, and he said, "It's all set." Let's get started? ”

I nodded and said, "Let's get started." ”

Then, the blowing class began to play mourning music, and four young men carried a black lacquered coffin and walked slowly out of the uncle's house. The rest of the people held wreaths and held the couplets. The team is not grand, and the sound is not lively.

Their family changed into filial piety clothes, sprinkled paper money along the way, beat spirit flags, and cried sadly.

I carried a big knife on my back, like a ranger, and followed the team casually, I looked at the coffin, and felt a little strange in my heart: "The corpse of the old beggar is lying well in the grave, and more than 20 years have passed, I am afraid it has long been turned into bones, what is in this coffin?" Is it just for the sake of appearance? ”

I followed the team to the goal, and then silently watched. Several young men dug up the grave and then expounded the bones of the old beggar. The bones and dirt were mixed together and wrapped in a large white cloth.

Uncle waved his hand, and the coffin was lowered. Then they began to open the coffin.

The more I looked at it, the more strange it became, this procedure didn't seem right, how could there be a coffin on the grave?

The young men were apparently hired by the uncle from other places, and they only took the money to do things, and no one raised any objections.

After the coffin was opened, the uncle took out a statue of Guanyin from inside.

He knelt in front of the grave and made a gesture of a filial son throwing a basin, and smashed the statue of Guanyin on a stone and smashed it.

Today's funeral procedure is completely wrong, but in light of the old beggar's situation, it seems reasonable.

I saw Guanyin turn into a pile of broken porcelain, and the uncle looked inside and pulled out a dark red heart. This heart is weak, as if there was life not so long ago.

He held his heart in his hand, and even the young people around him let out a low cry and took two steps back.

The uncle held the heart, slowly placed it in the middle of the white cloth, and then rewrapped it with the bones. Only then did I understand that the uncle was trying to give the old beggar a complete body after he died.

Then the young men lowered the coffin and re-built a grave. When this qiē was done, the young people dispersed in a hurry. Only my uncle and I are left here.

Uncle looked at me and smiled: "Zhao Mang, today I am funeral for the old beggar, how is the scene?" ”

I saw that his expression was depressed, and his smile was forced out, and I couldn't help but feel a little pity, I quickly nodded and said, "The scene is very big, if the old beggar knows, he must feel very beautiful." ”

Uncle nodded, and then slowly knelt down.

In fact, after the young man left, the place was deserted. Except for the paper money all over the ground and a dozen wreaths, there is no difference from before, and it is still a lonely grave.

Isn't the grave deserted in the first place?

Uncle bit his finger and placed it on the tombstone. He began to draw along the ten big characters: "There is no penny in the pocket, and love is worth a thousand gold." ”

The red paint on it was peeling off, but it was filled with the uncle's blood. Now it seems to be a little more solemn than it was back then.

After he finished this qiē, he slowly stood up. I heard him mumble quietly, "Thank you." ”

Then he waved at me a little tiredly and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

I looked at him for a moment, and there was a sudden pain in my heart, for I saw that he was much older than yesterday, and that his wrinkles, gray hair, and eyes were definitely formed overnight.

I secretly thought in my heart: Is the twelve-year-old Yang Shou now starting to be returned to others?
