I buried Anne on the shore of Cangyong Tso Lake, which was the cemetery I chose for myself, but I didn't expect Anne to come here before me......

At the time of the burial, all the people in the town who knew me and Anne came, and the funeral procession was a long line, with no firecrackers, no choir, no soul flags......

There is only silence...... There are only round dark coins flying in the sky......

Everyone quietly mourned for Anne, and many people who knew Anne secretly wept! Anne has been here for many years, and they know Anne more than I do, and who would not feel sorry for a kind and beautiful woman like Anne?

The grave had been dug up, and when the poplar coffin was lowered, Dabin and several other bar singers and other members of the bar were almost crying and could not stand, and the kind Anne took them in when they were at their most depressed, and let them join the bar and give them shares to run together! They had the deepest affection for Anne......

I stood silently in front of the grave and slowly lowered Anne's diaries and the Canon camera into the grave! This is Anne's most beloved thing, and with their company, Anne will not be too lonely along the way!

I cut off the corner of my coat and put it in the grave! This is the custom of my hometown in Hanzhong, saying that in this way, Anne will be able to find me in the next life with this corner of clothes, so that after experiencing life and death in the world and passing through the endless void, we can continue the fate of the previous life!

Because I have promised Anne that I will wait for her in the afterlife......

I don't know how he learned of Anne's death, and I don't have the heart to ask about it!

The old monk staggered all the way to the prayer wheel, and when everyone was covering the earth and filling the pit, he recited the mantra for Anne......

……

The grave was filled in with a spade of soil, and the coffin was slowly concealed, and then gradually uplifted, and in a moment it became a brand new tomb......

Then the tombstone was erected, the tombstone was engraved with Anne's name and the date of her birth and death, and a black and white photograph was inlaid on the top of the tombstone, and she was facing the vicissitudes and smiling quietly!

I have also asked Dabin to find the body of General Wei, and I have dug a shallow grave for Anne next to it, and I will let it continue to guard Anne, and I believe that it will be a faithful guardian, just as it did when it was alive!

I stared silently at Anne's tombstone!

There is no more woman named Anne in this world, and there is no more ......

People can only know from the bits and pieces of information on the tombstone that this woman named Anne once came to this world, and as for her life, no one knows about it......

I stood silently by the tomb, without moving my hands or tears! I've shed so many tears these days that my tears have dried!

Sadness is of course sad, but more is numbness after the heart dies! I don't feel the pain of tearing anymore! I can't shed tears anymore!

……

The mourners gradually left, and the old monk also left for me to salute and revert!

Dabin stood silently beside me, his eyes were red, his eyelids were swollen like a walnut, and his beard was all over his face, almost all of the past few days he was presiding over Anne's funeral, but he was just as sad as I was!

"Brother Sheng! Cry if you want to! Dabin said in a calm tone.

I slowly turned my head to look at him and smiled sadly, and I asked him, "Dabin, did you say that Anne's soul is still with us at the moment, but we can't see her......"

Dabin's red and swollen eyes were wet again, and he took my arm and said sadly: "Brother Sheng, Sister Anne is dead, if there is really a soul, then her soul has gone to heaven!" ”

"Really...... Why do I still feel like Anne is right next to me when I am there? I said slowly.

"Brother ......"

"Dabin, you go back first, go back and see Wei Lai, and bring her back! I...... I want to be with Anne again! I said to Dabin in silence.

Dabin sniffed, patted me on the shoulder and walked away silently!

I came to Anne's tombstone and knelt down slowly, and I stretched out my barely conscious hand and stroked the small picture of the other! Looking at her smile, my heart is lonely!

Annie, your life is miserable, even your death is so tragic, when did your catastrophe begin?

Did you block that knife for me? Is your flight delayed? Is it the one you are determined to wait for here? Or back in the night of November 4, 2009? Could it be that from that moment on, today's doom was already doomed?

If you hadn't met me, where would you be at this moment? What are you doing?

Since meeting me was the beginning of your sorrow, and even your life was on the line in the end, didn't you have a moment of regret?

Even at the last moment of your life, you are still looking forward to meeting me in the next life! Is it really worth it?

If everything could be done all over again, I would rather let you break your heart again than reject you, I would rather keep you dead for seven years than see you again, and I would rather carry all my sorrows than meet you on the night of November 4, 2009......

Anne, are you really on your way to heaven? Or have you already reached the kingdom of heaven? Will it snow there? You're so thin, will you be cold......

A few days ago, I was complacent that fate would finally let me go and stop joking with me, and I even felt that my life really didn't seem to have a chance to be happy......

It turns out that nothing has changed, fate has not forgotten me at all, I am still a doll in its hands, it deliberately gives me a little hope, and then quietly watches me fall into a more desperate struggle!

I should have understood that I shouldn't have had that damn hope!

I can never get happiness......

Wei Lai sat in Dabin's arms and stared blankly at the gate, until she saw me return to the silversmith shop with a frost flower on her head, and she broke free from Dabin's arms and ran towards me!

I squatted down, and Wei Lai threw herself into my arms, her big eyes instantly filled with tears.

After not seeing me for a few days, Wei Lai, who was sensitive by nature, was probably a little uneasy and apprehensive, and when he saw me again, he was aggrieved and cried!

I looked at Wei Lai's two strings of tears, and a sour feeling rose in my heart, and I hugged Wei Lai's small body.

"Dad, why didn't you let me go home? Don't you want Wei to come! Wei Lai asked me as he whimpered and cried.

I felt a lot of pain in my heart, and I lost my voice: "No, no, no, how could Dad not want Wei Lai!" Wei Lai is everything to Dad! How could Dad not want Wei Lai! ”

Thinking that I had just promised Wei to let Anne be her mother a few days ago, it was as if it had just happened, but Anne and we were separated by yin and yang, and I didn't feel a sense of grief rising from my numb heart.

I looked at Wei Lai and said solemnly: "Whether Wei Lai can promise Dad one thing or not, it doesn't matter."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Whatever happens in the future, don't leave your father, okay? ”

Wei Lai could probably feel my sadness from my expression, opened her little arms and put her arms around my neck all of a sudden, and sobbed: "Wei Lai will not leave Dad, Wei Lai will not leave Dad......"

When I heard Wei Lai's extremely firm answer, I couldn't break down anymore, I hugged Wei Lai tightly, my nose was sore, and tears were gargling and falling!

Wei Lai, my daughter, dad is the only one left left......

The gloom of the sky finally dispersed with Anne's departure, as if the snow was only to set off the sadness of Anne's death, and after the mourning, it returned to a clear place.

The sun rose again, shining on the snow that had not yet melted, and as the sun reigned in the sky, the cold wind joined in at the right time, and the weather seemed to become colder......

Anne is gone, taking with her half of my soul, and my already wrecked soul is now even more broken!

I have to sit on the side of Cangyong almost every day these days, because Anne is there.

I used to sit all day, and I picked up the alcohol I had been abstaining from for years. Every time I went to Anne's grave, I would bring a bottle of wine, and when I was drunk, I would fall asleep against Anne's tombstone, waking up whenever I wanted.

I used to sit alone at Anne's bar until the stars slipped down one by one, and I returned to the silversmith in a drunken mood!

My stomach finally recurred under my wanton treatment, and it was not good at all to say that it had relapsed, but it was only because I took care of it in every way that it could not be revealed, and now it finally stopped holding back.

My stomach often cramped violently, causing a violent cough. Dabin often persuaded me to stop drinking when I couldn't stand up with a cough!

I know he can't bear to see me like this, but he won't understand that if it weren't for that, I would barely know how to survive the long days and nights and the days after the sleepless nights! Only this way, I can continue to support my life numbly!

Only when I saw Wei Lai, I couldn't help but blame myself......

Wei Lai is very well-behaved these days, she no longer pesters me to take her out to play, and it is no longer difficult for me to tie her beautiful pigtails. At night, when she saw that I hadn't slept for a long time, she would silently follow Dabin to sleep, you must know that this was absolutely impossible before this!

She never once asked me why Aunt Anne, who had been with her every day, suddenly disappeared, and she didn't even seem surprised that General Wei was missing!

I know that the smart and sensible Wei Lai must have known the news of Annie's departure, although I have already told Da Bin to tell Boss Li not to let Wei Lai run out to see all this, but the town is so big, how can she really not know what is going on?

Wei Lai's sensible and old age make me feel heartache, every time I come back from the bar late at night, I want to cry when I see her obediently lying in Dabin's bed sleeping, I really want to pick her up and carry her to my bed, but I can't bear to let her sleep with me on that cold bed that may have no temperature all night.

Although Anne's departure made me sad, I understood that I couldn't go on like this, at least I still had Wei Lai, and I couldn't treat Wei Lai so irresponsibly.

I told Wei that I was the only one left......
