Chapter 14: Remembrance of the Dead (3)
Next to him, an unknown old man asked, "Is it the same as the situation of Yi's second family in Yutang Village?"
"That's not, Yi Lao Er and Guo's got married early, but they never had children, and they got a brother Jian after more than ten years, and a daughter a few years later. Lao Detou was in his fifties when he got married, and he picked up a girl from Yangjia Village, Yang is also a capable person, but his life is not good, and he died of illness early!"
"Then isn't his father's and mother's age when they got married about the same as this dead day?"
"Hmm...... It's about the same, it's about the same in age, but it's far worse in terms of people!"
"That is, don't look at the old virtue of the young people now, the old virtue of the old man, the old virtue head, he was also watched by our generation when he was a child.
"A young man from the spirit spirit calls him Xiao Dezi. This child is the governor, and he never forgets his neighbors when he goes out, and he is always eager to help anyone in the township when he encounters a difficult problem.
"It's just that now the world has changed, and young people no longer pay attention to these human ethics, and they are a little prejudiced against him, asking me to say, if we were young, the older generations saw a junior like him, who would be unpraised?"
"Yes! The way of the world has really changed! I don't know if the old man was still sober or not when our old bones left, and if he didn't understand, I am afraid that there will be no one who understands the funeral treatment by then!"
"It's not, usually when I talk to young people at home, I always say, 'If you die, just burn it and bury it', but sometimes I think in my heart, it's better to be busy for a lifetime, maybe there will be no descendants who can remember it......"
A few people said, and couldn't help but turn back to 'the benefits of the old German head'. Even a pair of old eyes looked at Hanzhang's eyes full of love and pity.
Some people asked, "Is your body and bones better?", some asked, "Can you stand such a cold", and some people immediately considered for her and said, "The deeper and colder the night, let the person with a strong body do the vigil, you follow the people who come and go in the village, and go back to rest early", and some people immediately contacted the people in Yutang Village who wanted to go back to take her back by the way......
At night, Hanzhang lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and she kept replaying the funeral situation in her mind.
A low-level villager like He Tian, who everyone hates, died in such a disgraceful way as "suicide", and there are still so many people who sincerely mourn him. And the previous self is dead, but will anyone remember?
She suddenly felt that a person who lived as a high-level spiritual magician with extraordinary talent and dazzling side seemed to be inferior to a He Tian in the end!
The beginning of the next day is the time when the dead go up the mountain, and at this time of the season, the sky is not yet dawn, Yu Changde should have let Hanzhang rest, after all, the relationship between the Yu family and the deceased is too estranged, and there is no requirement in the etiquette system.
But she still got up early and went to Yijia Village to watch the ceremony of going up the mountain against the cold.
The address of the grave was designated by the deceased before his death, and Lao Detou just set the direction on feng shui, and then some villagers dug the grave and placed the coffin.
Several villagers walked in front of the dead on bamboo frames, while the relatives of the deceased wore linen and filial piety followed behind, crying and walking, all the way to reverently send the deceased to the coffin for burial.
In the meantime, there are various procedures mixed in.
In the end, the fire burned down the wreaths and funeral houses given by the mourners, symbolizing the wishes of the living to the dead.
The funeral is over, and the dead rest in peace!
Hanzhang looks at personnel from now on, but it is different.
※
On the morning of the twelveth, Hanzhang was still asleep when he heard a knock on the door, and someone kept shouting "Hanzhang, Hanzhang".
Hanzhang thought too much about the night before, and at this time, his brain was swollen and dizzy, and he rushed to the top of his head for no reason. She grinded the shuttle, easily dressed, and opened the door with a dark face.
I saw that Guo's eager face outside the door showed a more serious emotion than her, and looking at her cloaked appearance, he hated iron and steel:
"Why haven't you gotten up yet? Today is the day of school, didn't your father tell you? Forget it, your father has never paid attention to whether school is open or not! Hurry up and pack up and go out with your sister-in-law, otherwise the carriage will not be in time!"
Hanzhang looked at Guo Shi and said, and he had already divided five by two to help her clean up. But in ten minutes, she carried a small bag and was staggered by Guo Shi on the road.
When she arrived at the side of the road outside the village, Hanzhang was already out of breath, but Guo Shi reacted and patted her back a few times before she was relieved.
Hanzhang looked up, and there were already five or six tall and short figures standing tall and short before he met. It was all the children of the village she had seen during the New Year's Festival.
At this time, her mind was only starting to work, but before she could figure it out, a simple hearse was already whizzing, with a big number "nine" on the front of the car.
"Get in the car, get in the car!"
With Guo's voice, the children had already rushed up, and before Hanzhang could react, she felt that her body was light, and she had been carried into the car by Guo's waist. Dizzy, he was pressed to an empty seat.
Before she could look up at the surrounding scene, she felt a heat in her arms. When she looked at it intently, it turned out that Guo Shi had also stuffed a rice ball wrapped in oiled paper in her arms.
In this regard, Hanzhang had to sigh that Guo's thoughtfulness was really not said by outsiders.
She slowly opened the rice balls to eat, and glanced inside the carriage - there were already some children and adults in the space that could seat dozens of people, and Guo was greeting several adults.
They all said that they sent their new children to report to the spiritual college. Beside them sat a child of five or six years old.
After a few words, the hearse did not go as everyone expected.
Everyone couldn't help but check the reason, and saw that at the car door, the girl who was called Stuffy Dun'er was rarely clean, but her clothes did not fit, her pants were a little small, and the tight trouser legs and crotch made her unable to lift one small foot but couldn't get into the car, and her body was stuck at the car door.
Guo Shi's face was a little bad when he looked at it, and he said irritably: "This Zhen sister, why don't you have a sharp time!"
As he spoke, he turned around and carried her into the carriage.
The door closed, and the hearse went.
Hanzhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart the truth that "the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, and the predecessors suffered disasters and future generations", and only then did he take a closer look at this hearse.
A hearse, as the name suggests, is a vehicle that is forged by spiritual art and powered by psionic energy. It is a kind of spiritual weapon.
Spiritual weapons are a general term for various instruments made through the use of spiritual arts. In today's world, spiritual weapons have been used in all aspects of human life.
The same kind of spiritual weapon, according to its material, function and performance, naturally has advantages and disadvantages.
The same goes for hearses.
