The funeral was about to begin, and the mourners in black dresses were filled with seats, not many of them, all of them gentlemen and wealthy merchants—as you could tell from their manners.

Lilion also appeared, wearing a rather solemn black dress, which, despite not wearing makeup, could not help but make people feel a little more mature.

She sat in the first row, and next to her sat two people, her uncle Herschel Wink, and a chubby man - Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment when he saw this man, wasn't this the man who appeared in the mirror of his dream?

Liliam looked very tired, and the fat man was saying something to her, as if to comfort her.

The priest led the coffin bearer to the stage, and the dazzling white coffin was placed in front of the guest seat, surrounded by flowers.

The priest, an old man with a white beard, cleared his throat and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Distinguished gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, it is with great sorrow that we gather here today to mourn a hero, a brother, a father, and a dear friend, our beloved Earl Adam Winck. ”

The priest seems to have presided over such funerals on a regular basis, speaking in a natural and heavy tone.

On the other hand, the servants were not qualified to attend the funeral, and they all stayed at the back of the guest seat not far away, and Xu Shuo was among them.

The rain was still falling tepidly, Xu Shuo looked up at the sky, the clouds were thick, and there was no morning in sight.

(It's really the perfect weather for a funeral...... ）

At this time, a housekeeper came over with a bucket of umbrellas, and gave each person one by one, the umbrella is a multi-fold umbrella, all black umbrella surface, the workmanship looks very similar to modern umbrellas.

Xu Shuo took the umbrella, thinking that it was worthy of a big family, and it was a unified umbrella on rainy days. Without even thinking about it, he opened the umbrella to cut off the annoying drizzle overhead.

But after Xu Shuo opened the umbrella, he found that there was no one present who held the umbrella except him, and the housekeepers around him all looked at him with surprised eyes.

"What's wrong? What do you think I'm doing? ”

Xu Shuo was puzzled when someone kicked him in the heel.

"Stupid, this umbrella is not for your own use, it is for you to hold it for the master at the end of the funeral for a while, the master doesn't use the umbrella, how can the servant be qualified to open the umbrella!" An anxious voice came from behind him, and although the other party kept his voice very low, Xu Shuo could still hear that it was the cat talking.

Xu Shuo reacted at this time, he looked at the funeral banquet, and none of the hosts or guests sitting there had umbrellas.

The master is still in the rain, how can there be a reason for people to enjoy happiness.

He put away his umbrella and apologized to the people on both sides in a low voice: "I'm sorry to ......"

Continuing to endure the itching sensation of the drizzle falling on his face, Xu Shuo couldn't help but think to himself, it seems that these nobles and businessmen are not as delicate as he remembered, and when it is time to endure it, people can also endure it very well.

However, just as he was thinking this, a man with a green staff appeared. The man came to the guest table and waved his staff in his hand, and the wind immediately blew around him, and soon, a semicircular barrier formed by the wind flow enveloped the entire funeral scene, and all the rain that fell on the barrier was bounced away and flew in all directions.

The edge of the barrier was just a few steps away from Xu Shuo, not only did it not cover him, but it also bounced the rain that fell on the side towards him, making him look confused.

"Lean ......"

Xu Shuo raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve, but this didn't make him feel much better, because the barrier was continuous, so the subsequent rain kept bouncing towards him.

(Do you want to just stand until the funeral is over?) Really...... ）

"It's time to hold an umbrella." I don't know who said that.

The master was no longer raining, and the servants were given the right to protect themselves from the rain.

The housekeepers around him opened the umbrella one after another, Xu Shuo slowed down, and also held up the umbrella, but now it doesn't make much sense to hold the umbrella, the body is already wet and cold, not to mention that an umbrella blocks the rain overhead, it can't stop the rain from the barrier, and if it blocks the rain from the barrier, it can't stop the rain overhead, no matter what.

Xu Shuo sighed and tilted the umbrella forward slightly, at least not to let the rain fall on his face.

The rain began to slowly become heavier, the crackling sound from the umbrella surface became louder and louder, and the cold wind blew from time to time, and the body was so cold that it shivered.

Xu Shuo closed his eyes and quietly waited for time to pass.

Click, click......

As if in a dream, Xu Shuo felt that the existence of the people around him disappeared little by little, and the only thing that could be perceived was rain, and the world was surrounded by the sound of rain.

Click, click......

The body seemed to be sinking, as if it was about to sink into some empty world.

Click, click......

Xu Shuo slowly opened his eyes, and the world had changed. The butlers and maids are gone, the nasty barrier is gone, and the whole world is blank, except for one man, a bench, and the sound of rain that seems to never stop.

Click, click, click......

"Lilian?" Xu Shuo called the man's name, but his voice was immediately drowned out by the sound of rain.

Lilian turned her back to Xu Shuo, her shoulders shaking, as if she was crying.

Xu Shuo wanted to walk towards her, but no matter how he walked, the distance between the two never shortened.

"Lilian!" Xu Shuo shouted loudly.

This time it seemed to have arrived, Lilian got up and turned her head to look at Xu Shuo, there was a golden flame flowing from the bottom of her eyes, it was the eye of a dragon!

Lilian opened her mouth to say something, but Xu Shuo didn't hear it.

Bang bang!

Lilion was gone, she stepped aside, and at some point vanished, as if something was blocking her figure. From the moment she disappeared, the whole world began to crumble.

Bang bang

"Hey!"

Xu Shuo opened his eyes violently and saw the cat standing in front of him.

"You're not going to fall asleep while standing, are you?!"

Xu Shuo looked around blankly, the rain was still falling, but the barrier was no longer there, and the housekeeper and maid followed the guests with umbrellas and led the guests out.

"Is the funeral over?" Xu Shuo asked.

"It's long over, and the master has been buried." Cat Mao said.

"Yes, yes?" Xu Shuo shook his head, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”

The cat turned and pointed to the gate of the Wink family's cemetery.

"Go find Miss, aren't you a personal butler?" The cat said, "Miss is in there now." ”

Xu Shuo nodded and walked towards the cemetery with an umbrella.

(Was that a dream?) Or is it ...... ）

At the entrance of the cemetery was a housekeeper with an umbrella, who told Xu Shuo that Lilian would not let people in.

"Miss said, let's all go, she wants to stay alone, you go to other places to help." The butler said.

"Alone? Did she bring an umbrella? Xu Shuo asked.

The butler shook his head slowly.

(The idiot...... ）
