(71) Funeral
The greatest begging of mortals to God is nothing more than the continuation of life, and the wind and rain are smooth...... When all prayers and wishes are exhausted, that is, when a person is at the darkest point in this life, they overdraw all their pessimism, but forget that in the end there is always despair and the abyss waiting in front of them, because calamity is never the lone wanderer.
Cheng Qiuyue's funeral is the most painful ceremony given to Shen Bijun by fate in this new year, she never thought that the most mature and sensible appearance she showed in front of Cheng Qiuyue was at the funeral, she was really ashamed, Ms. Cheng's biggest wish was to see her get married in a beautiful wedding dress, and everything she advocated was simple and Ms. Cheng's small wish could not be completed.
Shen Bijun knelt in the mourning hall wearing a black coat, looking at Ms. Cheng's bright smile on the black and white photo, her heart was like a knife. I remembered the last time I saw her, her tired eyes looked at her dotingly, and she was very gentle...... But now, she can't open her eyes......
"Miss Shen, mourning. "Xiang Mingle is the earliest person to come besides Wen Xian, she specially asked for leave from the hospital to come over, because the night before yesterday she saw Shen Bijun crying uncontrollably in the hospital, although she was surprised that the person around her that day was not Wen Xian, but after all, it was too inappropriate to mention it at this time.
Shen Bijun got up and bowed in return, because he had been kneeling, he was inevitably a little dizzy when he stood up suddenly, but fortunately he just stumbled a little, and was firmly supported by Wen Xian who came forward.
The people who came in again one after another were Meng Lianxi and the Xu family, Wen Xian looked at Shen Bijun beside him worriedly, there was not much turmoil, but the moment Shen Heng was carried into the gate by Xu Xiang, tears fell silently. There are too many things in those vicissitudes of life, indescribable remorse, inexhaustible guilt and a trace of despicable nostalgia for the past......
Shen Bijun broke free of Wen Xian's hand, and bowed after the group of them greeted him, treating his father like others.
Shen Heng was selfish, his anxious expression had already betrayed him, so he stepped forward and walked in front of Shen Bijun without authorization, but he stopped talking a few times.
"Uncle, let's not disturb Junjun now, let her be quiet. Meng Lianxi was the first person to notice this situation, and she glanced at Shen Bijun, who had an indifferent face, before she stopped Shen Heng in time.
Xu Xiang also helped and persuaded Shen Heng to withdraw from the mourning hall.
It is reasonable that he has no identity to stand with Shen Bijun anymore, since he chose to leave their mother and daughter back then, now those superfluous and meaningless greetings are particularly unnecessary.
Shen Bijun lost his strength after watching Shen Heng and Xu Xiang leave, took a few steps back, and directly bumped into Wen Xian's arms, of course she knew everything, as soon as Shen Heng opened his mouth, he came to me if he had any difficulties, Dad is sorry for your mother and daughter, etc......
She was really tired of hearing those false feelings for a long time.
"You go eat something and take a rest, you haven't eaten or drunk since the day before yesterday, and your body will not be able to support it if you go on like this. Wen Xian stretched out his hand from behind to support Shen Bijun's shoulder, so far he is the only one who relies on Shen Bijun, and he will never say the nonsense that asked Shen Bijun not to go back to him a few days ago.
She didn't speak, just shook her head listlessly, her eyes had been so red and swollen these days, as if she wanted to shed all the tears of this life in such a few days, everything that happened was uncontrollable, unavoidable, and the same pushed her into the abyss at the highest endpoint......
Shen Bijun never expected that God's punishment would be so fast.
"Shen Bijun ......"
"You let go of me!" She finally did this kind of thing to push Wen Xian away, looking at the stunned crawling all over his eyes, and then to the lost soul and uneasy, she was not moved at all, but her eyes resolutely withdrew her hand, as if nothing had happened, "Wen Xian, you go." ”
"You ......" Wen Xian's eyes were ruddy in an instant, all his grievances and frustrations came up in an instant, there was no exact expression, he could only be at a loss like a child who had made a mistake but didn't know where it existed, and reached out pitifully and pulled her sleeve, "I... I already know that I was wrong, and I won't be in the future, and I ...... in the future."
"There's no future, don't you understand?" Ren Whoever would be frightened away by Shen Bijun's cold and abnormal look, her tightly clenched fists seemed to be giving herself the clearest hint, and also to persuade herself, now is the best time to let Wen Xian leave.
They all said that if women were themselves, nothing could shake them.
Wen Xian was speechless this time, he reached out in a panic and wiped the imperceptible tears from the corners of his eyes, he was no longer the proud look he had before, his lips just trembled slightly, and what he wanted to say stopped here again.
"Shen Bijun......" Fu Xichuan unfortunately walked into this picture and interrupted them, but his appearance happened to accelerate Wen Xian's departure, because he was the person Wen Xian didn't want to see.
"Why are you here again?"
Fu Xichuan's questioning was full of master's meaning, as if he was the one who had a relationship with Shen Bijun.
"You don't have to worry about it. Wen Xian's resistance was very superfluous.
"I still have to entertain guests, so I won't send you. Shen Bijun followed the cold eviction order, her brows furrowed slightly, it seemed very unpleasant, and then she glanced back at the mourning hall, and when she looked at the eyes of Ms. Cheng in the photo, she hoped that there was still someone in this world who could fully understand her......
But no matter when, her meeting with him has become a crime, Ms. Cheng's departure is such a bloody lesson, blame her for selfishly occupying Wen Xian, God will be angry, it must be her fault, Shen Bijun can't forgive herself no matter what, although everything seems to be an accident......
She never believed in accidents. She also didn't know how she was going to go in the future, so did she have to live indestructible to satisfy God?
"I have already arranged for a car to pick up Aunt Huifen and Shen Xingheng, one from the airport and the other from the dock. The guests were almost gone, and when Meng Lianxi came in again, Shen Bijun was still kneeling on the ground, bowing his head silently, staring at the photo with empty eyes, and not saying a word.
Fu Xichuan took off his scarf and wanted to give it to Shen Bijun, but the moment she touched her, she obviously repelled it, but as soon as she looked up and saw that Meng Lianxi was still there, she didn't want to be discovered, so she stopped resisting again.
"Thank you Lian Xi. Shen Bijun's voice was slightly weak, this was already out of breath and dying, but she didn't want to eat anything these days, and the sadness of losing Ms. Cheng was repeatedly squeezing her heart, and she really didn't have any extra energy to support herself.
She coughed lightly, but didn't look up at Meng Lianxi again, Shen Bijun was afraid that Meng Lianxi would be such a sharp person and debunk all her schemes.
"You're doing a great job, and you're finally on your own. After Meng Lianxi left, Fu Xichuan squatted down and stood side by side with Shen Bijun, "It seems that I didn't use it as your assistant in vain." ”
Shen Bijun turned his head, he couldn't see through the person in front of him, he couldn't tell why he trusted him so much, it was like some kind of bewitchment, and he couldn't help but listen to his words.
It was getting late, and all the guests left, and Fu Xichuan also left, because Bai Man and Fei Na came once on behalf of the company halfway, and Fu Xichuan left with them. Shen Bijun was the only one left in the entire mourning hall, she was waiting for Aunt Huifen and Shen Xingheng, they should come later.
Wen Xian never left, he avoided everyone's eyes, just hid outside the door and guarded Shen Bijun to prevent her from finding out, his Shen Bijun became extremely fierce, as soon as he appeared, she should drive him away. His Shen Bijun must be very sad now.
"Sir, I have already investigated the matter you sent me to investigate, and Mrs. Cheng's car accident was indeed just an accident. When Lin Yi arrived, he didn't expect Wen Xian to be turned away.
Wen Xian just nodded, and at this time, Shen Bijun's cry suddenly came from inside, and the irrepressible heart-rending cry made him clench his fists, but through this damn cold glass, he never had a chance to hug her again.
"Mr. ......"
Lin Yi was extremely worried, and he didn't know how to persuade him when he stood behind Wen Xian.
"I want to know the details of Fu Xichuan, as well as the woman next to him. Wen Xian couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned around and left, rather than letting Shen Bijun live in pain, it was better to quickly solve the person who made her miserable.
Shen Bijun woke up from a warm big bed, the first thing she saw when she opened her tired and sore eyes was the dazzling sunlight, the gray sky for several days was too depressing, she got her right hand out of the quilt and stretched out to touch this great sunshine, but the sunshine was too illusory, she didn't catch anything.
Why am I here? Shouldn't I be guarding my mother in the mourning hall?
She suddenly reacted, only to feel strange, trying to think about it, she could only think of last night she had been kneeling in the mourning hall waiting for her aunt and cousin, but she was so sad and sad that she finally couldn't help crying, but she was too weak, and she didn't know anything after crying and fainting.
"Sister, you're awake. ”
Just when Shen Bijun was puzzled, the person who opened the door and came in was Shen Xingheng.
"Sister, are you hungry?" Shen Xingheng was holding a bowl of steaming gruel in his hand, he heard that Shen Bijun hadn't eaten for a long time, so he prepared gruel intimately, because he couldn't eat too much at once if he hadn't eaten for too long, he had to slow down.
Shen Bijun didn't know why, the moment he saw Shen Xingheng, his eyes were already full of tears.
Shen Xingheng put the porridge in his hand on the bedside table, and then handed the spoon to Shen Bijun, "Sister, I have boiled this thing for you since five o'clock in the morning, I used millet, and I also put red dates for you, try it." ”
Shen Xingheng tried her best to maintain a cheerful appearance, just like what she had seen before, and he didn't want to make Shen Bijun miserable because he had rushed back specially.
She took the spoon in his hand and slowly served the bowl again, Shen Xingheng saw it and quickly dragged the bottom of the bowl for her with her own hand, "Be careful of scalding." ”
Shen Bijun scooped a big spoonful of porridge, put it to her mouth and blew it into her mouth, Shen Xingheng's porridge was really delicious, she finally stretched her brows, and her mouth was full of sweet red dates...... suddenly remembered that when Shen Xingheng lived in her house in the past, Ms. Cheng often boiled porridge for them to drink, probably Shen Xingheng stole from Ms. Cheng at that time, and everything she made tasted like Ms. Cheng's cooking......
She finally smiled and continued to gulp down the porridge until she had finished drinking the porridge in her bowl.
"Xingheng, let's go to the mourning hall. Shen Bijun changed his clothes after Shen Xingheng cleaned up the kitchen space, and just waited for him to set off.
The follow-up matters of the funeral were also smoother with the help of Aunt Huifen, and Cheng Qiuyue was buried in the cemetery, which also made it convenient for Shen Bijun to visit her often.
In the whole process of follow-up, in addition to Shen Xingheng, there was also an imperceptible person who was with her, he suddenly looked humble, and followed her quietly, until everyone left, he quietly bought himself a bouquet of flowers and silently placed it in front of Cheng Qiuyue's tombstone.
