Yang Yunle asked only to find that it seemed inappropriate to ask by himself.

"Well, after my sister got married, I lived here alone. However, my sister and brother-in-law live upstairs, so I don't think they are very far away and can eat together every night. ”

Xu Zi lowered his head again as he spoke: "It's a pity that it's ...... now"

Yang Yunle frowned suddenly: "Your sister lives upstairs?" I want to ask you something, I don't know if you know. When I climbed the stairs, why did I see black lanterns hanging in front of many houses along the way? ”

Xu Zi thought about it and felt that it seemed to be a very ordinary thing, and suddenly realized that Yang Yunle and the others were not locals and were not familiar with the local customs.

"If all the relatives and friends in the family are gone, then a black lantern will be hung up, the door will be sealed, and it will never be opened again."

"This ......" Yang Yunle and the three of them were a little messy, and their expressions suddenly stiffened. Is it such a terrifying custom?

"Is there no one to inherit the house of the deceased?" Ling Xiaocan was also refreshed by this custom.

Xu Zi seems to have become accustomed to it: "You can inherit it, for example, if my sister is gone, then hers is mine." If I were gone, both rooms would be sealed off and black lanterns would be hung in the doorways. ”

Guo Zai felt a chill in his back, and there seemed to be countless ghosts shuttling around, which was simply distracted.

Xu Zi saw that everyone's faces seemed to be a little wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Ling Xiaocan took a deep breath to calm herself down, and she was more curious: "Then if the family dies, then their ...... Who handles it? ”

It's very unlucky to ask, it's definitely a corpse, but I can't say that word.

Of course, Xu Zi could understand, and she felt that this question was very common.

"Well, we have a building manager in every building. The building manager of our building is the Aunt Dong you saw that day, and she is responsible for dealing with these aftermaths. ”

"She would put their ashes in the house, and then seal the door and hang a black lantern."

"What? Still have ashes at home? "This situation is not calm at all, what kind of custom is this, putting the ashes at home?

Yang Yunle also seemed to be a little untenable: "Our building is where the ashes of the living and the dead live together?" ”

Xu Zi was very calm: "Yes, this was originally their room." ”

Guo Zai recalled that no wonder when he was in Shandao, Xu Zi was not afraid at all in the Xishan Cemetery, but was very curious about where it was, and it turned out that he had already cultivated an incomparably strong heart.

"However, we don't have ashes in this building." Speaking of this, Xu Zi's mood seemed to be a little wrong.

Yang Yunle recalled that there were a lot of black lanterns hanging in this building: "But ......"

"Oh, did you say there are a lot of black lanterns in this house? None of their bodies were found, and they were on that train, just like my sister and brother-in-law. ”

Xu Zi sighed and disappeared like that.

Ling Xiaocan patted Xu Zi's shoulder and made a simple reassurance: "I'm sorry, we mentioned your sadness." We really don't have any ill will, though. ”

Xu Zi turned around and smiled at Ling Xiaocan: "I just don't think I'm sorry for not saying sorry to my sister." ”

"Don't worry, I trust you. Some people appear in life like gifts. You must have been a gift from my sister. ”

Although Xu Zi was a little sad, he was still an optimist in his bones.

But Yang Yunle and the three of them did have a little numb scalp, and they had an indescribable feeling when they thought that there might be fluttering everywhere in this building.

"By the way, Xu Zi, I still want to take the liberty of asking, what do your parents do. There should be a photo of you on this cabinet. ”

Yang Yunle pointed to a small standing photo frame on the cabinet, which was a little old. There are two little girls in it, one can be seen to be Xu Zi's childhood, and the other should be Xu Zi's sister Qin'er.

But the photo was artificially destroyed, and both sides were subtracted along the traces, Yang Yunle speculated that it was Xu Zi's parents, but I don't know why Xu Zi did this, was it abandoned by his parents?

Xu Zi seemed reluctant to mention her parents, and was silent for a long time.

Then he looked at Yang Yunle and them: "That was the only photo we had together, they disappeared when I was very young." My sister said they were going to do something big. But I envy others for having parents, why don't I have them. ”

"Although my sister would often say that they gave us a lot of money, I didn't want money, I only had one childhood. A happy childhood heals a lifetime, but an unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal. ”

"Luckily I have a sister. After my sister died, no one came to me, and I think the money she said they gave me was all to comfort me. ”

Yang Yunle thought for a while and pointed to both sides of the photo: "So the two sides of the photo are your parents, and then you tore them off?" ”

Xu Zi shook his head, his expression was a little silent, and he was a little regretful: "For as long as I can remember, this photo has been like this." I've never seen them before, and I don't know what they look like. ”

"If only there was a picture of them. It's a pity, but I'll be happy if they can come back. ”

In other words, Xu Zi didn't know what her parents looked like at all, and even if they appeared in front of her, she wouldn't know that they were her parents.

Ling Xiaocan felt something strange: "Didn't Qin'er ever mention your parents' affairs to you?" ”

"No, never. Just to say they love us and give us lots and lots of money. ”

Xu Zi's words revealed the desire for the love of her parents. Except for some disappointment in his eyes, it didn't look like he was lying.

"One thing, though, is strange. Didn't I not want to go on the first day of the train? Then my sister said that there was a surprise for me on the train. ”

"Guess it's my parents?"

"Huh?" Guo Zai struggled to recall what had happened in Volcano Village, when Xu Zi didn't mention his parents at all.

In other words, her parents don't seem to be on the train this time.

"Probably not." Guo Zai told Xu Zi about the Volcano Village again, just to tell her not to worry too much.

"Maybe where they love you silently, don't think too much about it."

Ling Xiaocan has been a little scared because of the cat incident in the past few days, and he hasn't rested well at night, and he seems to be a little tired after standing for a long time.

"I'll go sit down for a while."

As soon as she sat down, she saw a table on the coffee table, and the table showed some simple statistics of the building.

She looked at Xu Zi with a curious tone: "Can I take a look?" ”
