Chapter 108: Unfilial Piety (Three Watches)
"After laughing, let's get down to business!" Hong Lianshuo put away the smile on his face and looked at them and said, "Whether you believe it or not, don't forget that you are a person." What do we believe in from ancient times to the present day? Ancestors, ancestors, sages, kindness, morality, all good qualities, what we ask for is to bless the country and the people, so that the people can live a good life. Believing in nothing can break the law, you must first be a good person. ”
Qingming's gaze swept over them and continued, "For the gods and Buddhas, what do we worship? It is the great compassion, truth and wisdom represented by the gods and Buddhas. The believers are not wearing robes, robes, Taoist priests and monks. It is Buddhism and Taoism, which interpret all the beautiful truth, goodness and beauty that we yearn for. ”
"A cultivator must first of all treat himself as a human being, not above others. Cultivation does not mean superiority, high up, no matter what kind of origin, status, life in the world is practice, why practice should go into the mountains, red dust is also a great road. There are three thousand avenues, and different paths lead to the same end. Restrain yourself from doing evil, encourage yourself to do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, so that your days will be more prosperous, you can live more clearly, and you can act more freely. Hong Lianshuo raised his index finger and looked at them with burning eyes, "When Buddhism and Taoism use the rules and precepts to demand self, it is a supreme merit. And when the precepts come to force others, they are the most evil in the world! That is, a cult! Unceremoniously said, "Annihilation." ”
This murderous tone can be seen to be doing what he says. Han Baohu said in his heart.
"That's right! You have to distinguish carefully in the future! Don't be fooled. Chen Zhongyuan said in a rough voice.
"It's like I'm stupid! If you don't believe it, you won't get it. Sixi smiled stupidly, "Whoever said I didn't believe it." ”
The crowd was amused by him.
Hong Lianshuo pointed to the dark sky and said, "Isn't it time for us to sleep, Ming'er has more important things to do." ”
The crowd slowly dispersed, and Chen Zhongyuan looked at her and said, "I've arranged for the night, so you can sleep at ease!" ”
"Hmm!" Hong Lianshuo nodded slightly.
Hong Lianshuo grabbed the mosquito repellent grass, threw it into the fire, and lay on the straw mat with his son in his arms.
"It's better to be in the house, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside." Chen Zhongyuan couldn't help but mutter.
"It's still hot in the room!" Hong Lianshuo pouted and shook his head slightly, now this adobe house is low, the windows are small, and the bed is not high off the ground.
Winter is even harder! Hong Lianshuo said in his heart that the indigenous people's winter heating depends on shaking, and every winter, the feet and hands are frostbite, and the face is not spared.
This anti-chilblain herb also has to be arranged.
This food and drink must be prepared first, and it is not okay to cramm.
&*&
The next day, Han Baohu arranged for people to start registering their basic personal information such as their names, ages, family members, and specialties.
After a circle, those who survived were reunited with their relatives, and more families were ruined, and there was only one person left in the family.
Hang white sails in every house!
Hong Lianshuo stood on the wooden cart with a horn made of wood, looked at the people who came around, and introduced himself first, "Meet my name is Hong Lianshuo, and everyone calls me Hong Niangzi." ”
"Mrs. Hong, thank you for saving your life." Everyone knelt down in unison.
"Oops! Get up, get up. Hong Lianshuo jumped off the board and looked at them and said, "I didn't ask you to thank me. ”
"Then what did Lady Hong do when she summoned us over?" They stood up again, their eyes focused on Hong Lianshuo, and said.
Hong Lianshuo stood on the cart, bowed and said, "I have a request for everyone." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, what do you say?"
"Then I'll be straightforward, and if there is an offense between the words, please bear with me." Hong Lianshuo straightened his back, swept over them with a clear gaze, arched his hand and said, "I know everyone is sad, the weather is too hot, so we have to let them settle in the ground." ”
As soon as the voice fell, the sobbing gradually became louder and louder, and there was an unstoppable posture.
"Hong Niangzi?" Chen Zhongyuan said in a rough voice with red eyes, "I tell them to bear with me." ”
"Don't, let them cry enough, and we'll talk about it later." Hearing this, the red chain raised his hand and shook it, "Don't worry." Then he said, "It's good that the sad emotions are released, but it's even more uncomfortable and sad to hold in my heart." ”
The cry like a burst of the embankment erupted like a volcanic eruption, these days of fear and fear, witnessing the cruelty of Yidi, and suffering from the plague, the physical and mental torture, the tension of the emotions has been completely released.
One by one, they couldn't help themselves, the scorching sun was covered by thick white clouds, and the sky suddenly darkened.
I don't know how long I cried, until the crying gradually stopped, and the voice became quieter and quieter.
"Mrs. Hong, please allow me to bury my family and let them be buried as soon as possible."
"What I'm going to say next is against everyone's perception, but I ask you to listen carefully first." Hong Lianshuo bowed slightly.
"You say."
"Everyone knows that the plague is contagious, so these bodies must be burned before they are buried." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said word by word.
The "buzzing ......" exploded like water dripping into a pan of oil.
"Hong Niangzi, they suffered a lot in their lives and never enjoyed a day of happiness. After death, there is not even a thin coffin, is it not even a whole corpse? ”
"Do you have to burn beyond recognition?"
"How can we be worthy of them!"
"Does it have to be like this?"
"I'm sorry, it has to be this way!" Hong Lianshuo's deep and upright eyes looked at them and said, knelt down directly and said, "My aunt and mother-in-law are also here, for the sake of everyone's future life, I just ask them to forgive their daughter (daughter-in-law) for being unfilial." ”
"I agreed!" Plop Tong fell to his knees, "Forgive my son for being unfilial." ”
Hulala...... knelt on the ground and agreed to be cremated first, and then buried.
Hong Lianshuo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, this is no way.
For funeral ceremonies, there are different winds and customs for ten miles, not to mention thousands of years apart.
Hong Lianshuo really didn't understand this, so he asked Chen Zhongyuan to discuss.
"This one of them escaped from the wilderness, there are dead people everywhere, how can there be any funeral! Bury a mound of earth on the side of the road with a heart. Those who have no conscience are still being eaten by wild dogs on the side of the road. Chen Zhongyuan said bluntly and cruelly.
"The funeral of this big family is cumbersome and pompous, and we don't have that condition now." Han Baohu immediately said when he heard this.
Hong Lianshuo shook his head slightly when he heard this, "General Han is exempt." Then he said, "Are there ordinary people here who help with funerals?" They should understand the rituals. ”
