Chapter Twenty-Five: Another Walk
Li Yang parked the car on the side of the road, rolled down the window and saw the gate of the Buddhist hall across the street, he smoked one after another, and looked at the Buddhist hall without blinking.
Looking at his haggard appearance, I couldn't bear to leave him here alone, so I had to stay with him. The two of us didn't speak, just smoked and stared, expecting Master Hongchen to appear.
The day passed quickly, the lights were on, and the sky was dark. I bought a bag of meat buns and two cups of hot porridge back in the car. Li Yang took it, grinned with chapped lips, and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you." ”
"How long do we have to wait?" I asked.
"I don't know what to say." Li Yang coughed: "This incident started because of me, and I am responsible......
I patted him. This kid is a complete evil star, where he goes, and Jin Tian is a virtue.
I stayed up until more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Yang was still looking at the Buddha Hall, I couldn't open my eyelids, and slowly fell asleep.
This sleep was particularly sound, and I was woken up by the ringing of the bell in the morning. The phone was made to Li Yang, Li Yang didn't seem to have slept all night, his eyes were dark, he answered the phone tremblingly, and his father's roaring voice came from inside: "Where did you go?" Today is your grandmother's funeral, hurry to the funeral home. ”
Then I remembered that the local tradition is that people are buried three days after death and cremated into the grave. I patted Li Yang and asked him to rest in the back seat, and I drove all the way to the funeral home. When I arrived at the funeral home, I went straight to the third hall, just in time for my grandmother's memorial service to begin.
The staff pushed the cart and pushed the grandmother out of the morgue. My heart was pounding, the memory of that night was so horrible, and I felt ashamed, like a thief, hiding behind the crowd and peeking at it.
Grandma's body was very peaceful, lying quietly among the flowers. Many family members and friends, when they saw the old man, remembered all the things before his death, and cried. The staff read the eulogy with emotion, the mourning music sounded, and began to bow three times to pay homage to the remains. The eldest uncle is the eldest son, walking in the first one, around the mother just walked less than half a circle, "wow" crying, kneeling on the ground and calling Mom, the old man is so sad, the scene is particularly touching.
Many of the lesbians couldn't hold on any longer and began to cry. I mingled in the crowd, circling around the corpse, secretly observing. I was looking at it, and I didn't know if it was dazzling, as if my grandmother's fingers moved, my brain "buzzed", and my heart suddenly rose to my throat.
**, grandma won't cheat the corpse again.
My heart is all pulled together, looking at the crowd of mourners in the hall, this is going to be a scam corpse, and the funeral home can make people go flat. I was waiting to take a closer look, and the crowd had already turned around and began to leave, shaking hands with family members one by one at the door. I grabbed Li Yang here, and I wanted to tell him, but after thinking about it, it was not good. This kid is bold, once he knows that his grandmother has signs of life, he will make a big fuss at the funeral home, and then shake out the matter of the corpse that night, and the result will be unimaginable.
I peeked at my grandmother and sighed, grandma, grandma, your life should be like this, admit it.
After the memorial service, most of the people dispersed, and I couldn't leave because of something in my heart. I have a little Jiujiu, and I have to watch my grandmother enter the cremation stove to feel at ease.
The relatives went to the rest room outside the crematorium to wait for the stove to be arranged. Originally, the people who went were supposed to be immediate family members, and I was a cheeky outsider who also went with me. At such times, no one will pick me up.
It was particularly embarrassing in the lounge, and the whole family discussed the arrangements for the future, and I was standing alone instead of sitting, and it was not a taste to stay. At this time, the door was pushed, and Lao Tiantou walked in from the outside: "Has Qi Yan's family arrived?" ”
"It's here." My aunt and uncle all came over.
Lao Tian was serious: "Next time it's the turn of the old lady, you choose a few representatives to follow me into the cremation room." ”
Uncle began to arrange, and I went over hard: "Uncle, I want to give the old man a ride, I hope you can agree." ”
Uncle was stunned, he had never seen this before. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's hard for Xiao Liu to be enthusiastic, you can go in with us." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, watched Lao Tiantou turn around to leave, hurried a few steps over, and whispered in his ear: "Qi Yan seems to be going to cheat the corpse again." ”
Lao Tiantou tried his best to hide his uneasiness and nodded reluctantly.
"Get her into the furnace as soon as possible and increase the fire." I said.
Lao Tiantou looked at me, then at Li Yang, and sighed: "You are all heroes." ”
Entering the cremation room, Lao Tiantou hurriedly asked his family members to kowtow three times, and then couldn't wait to push the old lady's body into the stove.
At this moment, suddenly a baby's mournful cry "Wow......" came from the stove, I was so frightened that I almost ran out of urine, and then looked at these people present, all of them were pale, and they all heard it, it should not be an auditory hallucination.
Everyone looked at each other, and the strongest reaction was Li Yang, whose face was as white as paper, crumbling, and seemed to be unable to support and faint.
Although everyone heard it, no one dared to ask anything, this must be a supernatural event, and some things are not good to say. When the old man in our family was cremated, there was a strange supernatural event, and it wasn't for nothing that he added to others after dinner.
After the corpse was burned, everyone came out in a daze. The uncle just mentioned something: "I ...... just now" The uncle scolded: "What just now? Nothing, don't talk nonsense! ”
He also said this to a few people in the cremation room, and everyone nodded: "Yes, yes, not much." ”
After the funeral, the relatives went to dinner. Li Yang didn't go, pulled me out in a car, and returned to the Buddhist hall. The door was still closed, and it looked like no one had ever returned.
Li Yang scratched his chin: "Hey, troublesome, what's going on, where did my aunt and master run away?" ”
No one could answer his question. I leaned back in the car, closed my eyes and recuperated, thinking about my grandmother's cry in the crematorium. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it is.
I slowly opened my eyes: "Li Yang, my mission is over from beginning to end. It's almost time to go to work, and I won't fool around with you. Send me back. ”
Li Yang started the car and said, "No, this matter is not over." ”
"What do you want to do when it's not over?" I was also upset, stopped looking at him, and turned over.
"Actually, there's a key to this." Li Yang said slowly.
"Hmm." I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.
"That key is Yin Qiufeng, the general manager of your company." Li Yang said.
"Go find him." I said, "I approve it." ”
Li Yang snorted: "Don't think I don't dare, you call me." ”
"I didn't." I'm a little irritable.
Li Yang sneered: "No, right." I'll go to work with you, and I'll go to your unit to ask for it. ”
I sat up and looked at him, "You're still done." What's the point of getting to the bottom of this? What exactly do you want to do? Can you live a quiet life? ”
Li Yang stared coldly out of the window: "If I can't figure this thing out, I'll have trouble sleeping!" ”
"Alright, alright, you're restless. Don't pull me. ”
At this time, my mobile phone rang, and it was a strange woman's voice that rang after connecting: "Hey." ”
"Hey, you......" I almost sweared, I guess I sell insurance again, I said badly: "I won't buy it, get out." ”
"Liu Yang!" The woman said coldly, "I'm Mr. Li." ”
Oops, it's a lot of fun. I hurriedly groveled: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I don't know it's you, I think it's ...... sell insurance."
Vice President Li said: "We have something to talk about, the boss Mr. Yin once told you and the man named Li Yang that he has something to entrust you." Now here's the thing. ”
Li Yang vaguely heard something, slowed down the car, and put his ear to it. I simply pressed the speakerphone: "Mr. Li, you say." ”
"You don't have to go to work these days, prepare at home, and go on a business trip in a week."
"Where are you going?"
"Henan."
I was stunned, how did I get to Henan with a pole. I hesitated: "What are you going to do there?" ”
Vice President Li's voice suddenly softened: "You inform the person named Li Yang, if you need help, you can call two more." ”
I was confused: "This, what's going on?" ”
Vice President Li said: "You told Li Yang that this business trip is subsidized, and the group will not let them work in vain." Also, tell him that this is the boss's ...... Words. ”
"What? Mr. Yin, he ......, "Li Yang and I looked at each other with our mouths open.
Vice President Li's sobbing voice came from the phone: "He passed away." Before leaving, he left his last words, asking us to go to his hometown in Henan to find someone. In the last words, you Liu Yang and the name of Li Yang were mentioned. For the sake of the boss, please be sure to agree, woo woo ......"
