Chapter 320: The White Story of the Village (Part 3)
"Give. ”
Handed over the eighty yuan fare to the trembling driver, Xu Yiming and Xu Wenting got out of the car.
Babu Pavilion is one of the largest villages in the surrounding area, with hundreds of households and more than 1,000 people.
It was only at the port that they heard the crying and mourning in the ancestral hall.
But Xu Wenting, the focus is not there at this time.
She looked down at her phone for a while, looked up at Xu Yiming's back for a while, and stopped talking.
"Say whatever you want, don't be sick. ”
Xu Yiming suddenly turned around, startling her.
Xu Wenting hesitated for a while, and suddenly said:
"Do you know the news of Tianjing?"
"Of course. ”
"My classmates are saying that the world is about to change. ”
Xu Yiming smiled when he heard this, "Then your classmates are very far-sighted." ”
The corners of Xu Wenting's mouth twitched, looked around, and suddenly lowered her voice and said:
"Xiao Guangguang, that person in Tianjing, is that you?"
"Huh?"
Xu Yiming was stunned.
I saw her hand over her mobile phone.
There is a picture on it, and two figures can be seen standing in the sky from a far, far away.
One is on fire, the other is ......
"Is that you?"
Xu Wenting frowned and asked.
Xu Yiming thought for a moment and nodded, "It's me." ”
Rumble!
Xu Wenting suddenly felt like she had been struck by lightning, and her legs were almost weak.
This photo was taken by a reporter who evaded the expulsion of the police force and risked the danger from a long distance, and when she first saw it, she felt a little familiar, and only then did she look at Xu Yiming's back, and she felt more and more like her.
Thinking of his current transformation, and when he dealt with those thugs, his fairy-like methods made her have to associate her brother with the immortal figure in Tianjing.
And now, getting his own confession shocked her even more.
Is this actually true?
"You, you're ...... now. Immortals?"
Her voice trembled.
Xu Yiming rubbed her head and said with a smile:
"It's still early. ”
At this time, a woman who was carrying dung passed by, and when she saw them, she exclaimed:
"Why, isn't this the bachelor of our village, Yiming, why are you back?"
Xu Yiming glanced at her, it was Aunt Liu Lan, a well-known long-tongued woman in the village, and smiled at the moment, "Come back and take a look." ”
As he spoke, he patted the back of Xu Wenting's head and said:
"Okay, let's talk about it in the evening, let's go to our parents first!"
"Oh. ”
Xu Wenting nodded sensibly, and the two said hello to Aunt Liu Lan, and then rushed towards the ancestral hall.
It's just that when he was about to leave the port, Xu Yiming suddenly looked thoughtfully towards the port.
There are sparkling waves and gentle water.
Beside it, it seems that a lot of paper money has been burned, and the ashes left behind are blown by the wind and scattered on the water surface with the waves.
His brow furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Wenting looked at him puzzled.
"No, it's fine. ”
Xu Yiming shook his head, and then went to the ancestral hall.
It was now past one o'clock in the afternoon, the ancestral hall had finished eating, and the relatives of the deceased were all gathered in the square.
The coffin was placed next to it, and the statue stood in the middle, and there was a big rooster with its feet tied next to it.
The relatives of the main family knelt on the hay that had already been laid in the square and wept, dozens of people, crying like a wave, and those who heard it wanted to cry.
The white Taoist priest is grunting and singing.
Xu Yiming and Xu Wenting soon saw a group of eight immortals on the west side of the square, and Daddy Guang was among them.
"Hey, Lao Guang, isn't that your Xiaoguang and Wen Ting?"
The big cow of the fourth group of the village was the first to see the Xu family brothers and sisters walking towards this side, and immediately patted Xu Yaoguang, who was sitting on the stone pier next to him and smoking.
Xu Yaoguang raised his head when he heard this, looked in the direction he pointed, and after seeing Xu Yiming and Xu Wenting, he was stunned, and when they approached, he frowned and said:
"Why did you bring Tingting back?
As early as before, Xu Yiming said that he would come back.
"I've taken a leave of absence, where's my mother?"
Xu Yiming said.
"She cleaned up the dishes in the back kitchen of the ancestral hall, and she just finished eating. ”
"Oh. ”
Xu Yiming nodded, and inadvertently saw that Daddy Guang's eyes were slightly red, and he secretly cried when he thought about it.
This deceased is not related to their family, but he is the brother of Daddy Guang's friend since childhood, and now he is only in his early forties, and he is in the prime of life.
"Anyway, Uncle Ping has always been in good health, why did he leave suddenly?"
Glancing at the coffin, Xu Yiming asked.
As a result, as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the Eight Immortals became wrong, you look at me and I look at you, there seems to be some taboo in my eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Wenting blinked curiously.
Father Guang's expression was solemn, and he was silent for a long time before taking a deep breath of smoke and said:
"Ah Ping is drowned. ”
"Drowning, drowning?"
Xu Yiming seemed to have thought of something, and said with a solemn expression:
"Drowned in the harbor?"
"Hmm. ”
Daddy Light nodded.
Xu Wenting was puzzled for a moment, "The port, the port of our Babu Pavilion is less than one meter and a half at the deepest point, right? Uncle Ping is fine with you going back and forth in the reservoir, why did something happen in the port?"
She couldn't figure it out.
You must know that Jianghan is the Yangtze River area, and places like them have never had a lot of water, not to mention the big ones, just the reservoirs, there are five in Datong County, and the people here can be said to have dealt with water since childhood.
At that depth of the port, the ten-year-old boy didn't bother to swim, what happened to Uncle Ping?
"This ......"
A group of eight immortals wanted to speak and stopped, but the big cow whispered:
"The Taoist priest said that Uncle Ping was entangled by that thing, so he ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, the main family is still there. ”
Daddy Guang scolded lightly.
Hearing this, Da Niu glanced at the group of master family members who were crying not far away, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Xu Wenting frowned for a while and looked at Xu Yiming.
And Xu Yiming was looking at the coffin.
