385. Lonely grave
Mu Jingchi's voice came from the other end of the phone, he had probably arrived at Mu's house, and he asked me on the phone what the weather was like here.
Hearing him ask, I glanced out the window and replied, "That's good." He sat there playing with the phone line.
Mu Jingchi said: "I heard Xie Dong say that you have been in the house for the past few days and have not gone out much. ”
In response to his words, I leaned back in my chair and said, "Do I dare to go out, and it is better to stay in the house than to talk to him." ”
Mu Jingchi coughed low on the other end of the phone, and when I heard it, I asked, "Not well?" ”
He whispered, "I still have a little cough, and I should be fine in a few days." ”
I groaned and didn't say anything more, but continued to wrap my fingers around the phone line.
Mu Jingchi saw that I didn't seem to have anything to say, so he said, "Okay, call me, just ask, nothing else." ”
I said, "So I'm hanging?" ”
Mu Jingchi hummed on the other end of the phone, I was about to hang up the phone, I heard Mu Jingchi's cough again, I hesitated twice, just wanted to speak, but the phone was answered by another person, it was Xiao Xiu'er, she said on the other end of the phone: "Miss, Mr. is a little unwell, so I won't tell you first." ”
Then Xiao Xiuer hung up the phone, and I listened to the beeping sound coming from inside, so I took the microphone off my ear and buckled the microphone on the phone.
The maid looked at me from the side and asked, "Miss, is the gentleman hanging?" ”
I looked at her and didn't speak.
The phone call between me and Mu Jingchi ended quickly, and he didn't call again in the next few days.
When the whole Shengzhou was flooded for more than half a month, finally on the sixth day after the rain stopped, the rain retreated from the first floor cleanly, and there were finally traces of people on the street.
But even when the water receded, the trees and houses around the street were so badly damaged that the local government of Shengzhou sent a security team to clean it up.
The people on the road were cleaning up, and the travelers who had been trapped in the hotel for a month and a half by the flood naturally began to retreat from their houses one after another, and they couldn't wait to leave.
The proprietress was very busy all morning, all of them were dealing with the check-out and settling the rent, and when the rent was almost settled, the travelers were more than half gone, and the whole hotel was almost empty.
When the proprietress finished settling the rent, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, because of this heavy rain, she had made a lot of money.
But she laughed happily for a while, and soon sighed in frustration and said, "It would be nice if there was such a business every day in the future." ”
I sat down at her counter and knocked melon seeds and said, "Why don't I tell you a good way to make money." ”
She immediately turned her head to look at me with interest, and I smiled and said, "Just go to the Bodhisattva and pray to her all day for another heavy rain like this." ”
She snorted several times and said, "Do you have this conscience for me? In order to make money, regardless of whether others live or die? ”
I was about to continue talking, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and they all looked up at the heavens and pointed at something, and the innkeeper was very strange, and asked me, "What are they looking at?" ”
I immediately put down the melon seeds in my hand, and then rushed out of the lobby of the hotel, and when I rushed to the road, I happened to see a helicopter flying over the hotel, flying directly in the direction of Jiangzhou County.
The proprietress also ran out with me, she watched with me and said, "What's going on, why did Shengzhou come to the plane." ”
I didn't answer her, I just stood there with my head up, watching.
The helicopter went very fast, almost just a few buzzes above us, and then flew away in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, a black sedan drove in front of the hotel, and there were two people on and off the car, people I didn't know, but they walked straight towards me, and when they reached me, they whispered: "Miss, we are here to pick you up." ”
I looked at them, looked up again, and basically understood something.
At this time, the maid Juxiang lifted my things downstairs and directly into the car, and the proprietress was surprised and asked, "Are you leaving today?" ”
I said, "It should be." ”
The proprietress asked again, "The three-"
When she came to her lips, she saw Xie Dong coming out of the inn, and hurriedly closed her mouth, and soon, Xie Dong walked towards me, and when he arrived at me, he said, "Miss, we should go." ”
I didn't ask much, just bowed my head and mumbled, and then walked towards the other end of the car, and the proprietress tried to catch up, but her body moved twice, and finally stood there again.
After I bent down and sat in the car, Ju Xiang sat in with me, followed by Xie Dong, who sat in the front.
After our car started, we quickly drove away from everyone's sight, and the direction was also to Jiangzhou County.
The car drove for more than an hour, and when our car stopped again, our car came to the foot of a mountain, I thought this side would be a cemetery, but who knows, the surrounding area is actually a barren area, surrounded by mountains.
I immediately looked at Xie Dong, Xie Dong obviously didn't care about this matter, but the two people who drove to pick me up immediately said beside me: "Steward Sun originally chose the cemetery, but Mr. was afraid that it would be too public, so he chose the location here." ”
This is completely a lonely mountain, I didn't expect Mu Jingchi to bury Mucun here, I wanted to say something, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed again.
When the man saw that I had not spoken, he said, "Miss, we are already waiting for us over there, let's go up." ”
I could only walk forward, and the people who accompanied me followed me.
The mountain road was extremely difficult to walk, and it took us more than 20 minutes to finally reach the top of the mountain, and when we reached the top of the mountain, it was already prepared, and many people gathered around a coffin.
When they saw me coming, they quickly retreated, and as I walked towards the coffin, the person next to me suddenly stood in front of me, and he handed me a mask.
Seeing that I didn't answer, the man immediately glanced at Ju Xiang again, and Ju Xiang quickly took it and put the mask on for me, and I faintly smelled the smell of rot.
When I finally reached the coffin, two men approached the coffin again and pushed the heavy lid down the coffin.
In the next second, Kimura's dead white face appeared in front of me.
Ju Xiang covered her nose and almost didn't dare to approach.
I could barely stand still, and the person next to me immediately supported me.
Kimura's corpse had already begun to decompose, and it was extremely difficult to preserve this intact appearance after being left for so long, and the person who was holding me said in my ear, "Miss, let's bury the corpse as soon as possible." ”
He didn't even let me look at it too much, and quickly closed the lid of the coffin.
They handed me over to Juxiang to hold me on, and then the coffin was lowered.
Ju Xiang was afraid that I would faint, or even cry, so she kept holding me to prevent me from rushing towards the coffin, but I didn't, except for when I saw Kimura's face, my legs were a little weak, and after that, I stood there very quietly, watching those people carry the coffin containing Kimura, sinking down,
Not long after, after they had placed the coffin, they began to cover it with earth, and I saw with my own eyes that the coffin was buried little by little.
For the follow-up work, Xie Dong and they probably gave instructions, and they didn't let me look at it anymore, but told me that it was time to go down the mountain.
I stood there and didn't move, Xie Dong thought I didn't hear it, he called again, and I looked at Xie Dong.
I said, "It's a lonely grave, why didn't you tell me beforehand?" ”
Xie Dong said: "Kimura has a special status, so it can only be handled like this. ”
I said, "yes, isn't it special to be buried here?" Why is there no monument? ”
I glanced left and right, then stretched out my hand and grabbed Xie Dong's shirt and said, "Why is it different from what I promised at the beginning!" ”
Xie Dong didn't push me away, didn't even hide, let me drag, he said, "This is Mr.'s decision, we just carry it out." ”
I said, "What about him, you can contact him now and ask him why he buried Kimura here!" ”
Xie Dong said: "Don't you understand, why can't he be buried in the cemetery, he has to be buried here, his body was taken down from Japan with a lot of effort by Mr., if outsiders know that it was the Mu family who was buried in Kimura, what would they think, Mr. This is for the sake of the overall situation." ”
