Chapter 109: Mourning and Change (Four Changes)
"Does this have to be done?" Chen Zhongyuan always feels that he is making a big fuss, he has no relatives, just do it directly, what are you doing with those flowers? "I don't want anything now."
"It has to be done!" Hong Lianshuo said with a tough attitude, "I can't fulfill my filial piety, I'm already very sorry for them, I was slaughtered and plagued, and I couldn't save them, so I couldn't help it." The last trip should also be decent. ”
"I'll look for it!" When Chen Zhongyuan heard this, he immediately said and arranged for someone to find it together.
This really made them find it, Hong Lianshuo looked at the old man in front of him, his hair was gray, his back was bent, his face was engraved with the traces of time, the back of his hand was like a dead tree, and his eyes were exceptionally bright.
"May I ask the old man's surname?" Hong Lianshuo pulled his son to stand up and asked.
"Mrs. Hong doesn't have to be so polite, your name is Hao Lao Sanxing." Hao Laosan bowed to her.
"Hao Laosan, registered as thirty out of forty this year, with his granddaughter nine years old, Hao Jinzhi." Hong Lianshuo's eyes wandered and he remembered.
"Mrs. Hong has a good memory, I also have a granddaughter." Hao Laosan said excitedly, with red eyes and a nasal voice, "I didn't expect you to remember me!" ”
"You know what to do about this white thing, right?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a soft face and asked.
"I know, the red and white things of my neighbors are all my own." Hao Laosan sniffed and looked at Hong Lianshuo respectfully and said.
"Then can you leave this funeral to you?" Hong Lianshuo said softly.
Hao Laosan swallowed his saliva, "This is too ......"
"If you have concerns, just say it, I just want them to go decently, it doesn't mean too much, you don't have a burden in your heart." Hong Lianshuo looked at him tenderly and said.
"I've never done such a big one, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Hao Laosan looked at her hesitantly for a long time before he spoke.
"Everyone hasn't experienced it, it's simpler, and many families are gone." Hong Lianshuo thought for a while and looked at him and said, "Let's worship together!" ”
"Together?" Hao Laosan looked at her in surprise and said.
"All buried together, and swept together every Qingming." Hong Lianshuo's deep and bottomless dark eyes looked at him and said, "Set up a monument to engrave the name of each of them." Remember this shame and lesson, and inspire the younger generations to work hard and not experience it a second time. ”
Hao Laosan looked at her with a moving expression and said, "I definitely can't do it alone." ”
"Let's talk about it together." Hong Lianshuo's warm eyes looked at him and said.
Hong Lianshuo, Hao Laosan, and Han Baohu discussed how to do it together.
There was definitely no coffin, and it was too late to make it, so I had to use a straw mat to bury it.
The sacrificial text was handed over to Han Baohu, a person who was both civil and military.
The young man and the woman cut wood and built a pyre.
Of the more than 200,000 people in the city, only 104,166 escaped, and the number of straw mats needed was very large.
The bodies in the moat were also recovered.
There are also relatives who guard the remains of their families on the pyre, and those who have no relatives can only be put together.
"Hong Niangzi, Hong Niangzi." Han Baohu ran over panting.
"What's wrong? So anxious. Hong Lianshuo put down the dry wood on his back and looked at him and asked, pulling his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his face.
"What about those Yidi corpses?" Han Baohu asked anxiously.
"Why do they have an opinion? They were clearly sick too. Hong Lianshuo squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him and said.
"No, no, they already have the habit of cremation and sky burial." Hearing this, Han Baohu hurriedly said, "It's just what to do after the cremation?" Where is it buried? ”
"Far away." Hong Lianshuo said without thinking about it, suddenly looked at him and said, "That's right! Have you looked for someone who knows feng shui in this burial place? ”
"Look, it's at the foot of the West Mountain, about twenty miles from the city." Han Baohu looked at her with brown eyes and said.
"Uh-huh!" Hong Lianshuo nodded.
Xishan is their hiding place, Hong Lianshuo actually went to see it, it is indeed a treasure of feng shui where the wind gathers qi.
There is a way to find the dragon for three years and ten years to point the acupoint, one year to learn to find the dragon, ten years to learn the point. As you can imagine, Dianacupoint Kung Fu is the essence of the whole Feng Shui, and it is also the most difficult!
It seems that this feng shui master is a bit of a Taoist!
The green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the red bird in the front, the Xuanwu in the back, the backing mountain, the low hill in the distance in front, the sand mountains on the left and right sides, the Ming Hall should be spacious, and there should be a curved water surrounding.
I hope they will bless future generations, let this land be smooth and rainy, and there will be fewer natural disasters!
"That Hong lady, they have a big opinion of those Yidi." Han Baohu looked at her with a frown and said, "I'm afraid there is a lot of resistance to your idea." People just escaped from death and hate them to the core, and you want to protect them, which is not good for you. After thinking about it, he said, "Not everyone understands your intentions. ”
"This?" Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes flashed when he heard this, "What about those Hu soldiers? How did they react? ”
"They were frightened like frightened birds." Han Baohu said funny, "I used to say that they were fierce, brave and good at fighting, and they fell into our hands. Lian Lian shook his head and said, "Look at that bear." ”
"You say so, keep Hu Bing, they are to lead the way for us and take revenge!" Hong Lianshuo said without concealing his murderous aura.
"Okay!" Han Baohu happily agreed, "It's almost ready." ”
"Then tomorrow! It's too hot to wait. Hong Lianshuo said as he picked up the firewood under his feet.
"How can you do all this menial work!" The corners of Han Baohu's mouth twitched as he looked at the firewood on her back.
"I want to give my mother and mother-in-law a ride in person, this is my heart." Hong Lianshuo stared at him with light eyes and said solemnly.
Han Baohu's dark eyes looked at her, and he muttered for a long time before he said, "Alas...... People can't be resurrected after death, and Hong Niangzi's festival mourns and changes. Touching his forehead, he said, "Let's say that!" It doesn't feel like it's useful, but it can't be said either. ”
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Hong Lianshuo's deep black eyes looked at him and shook his head slightly.
Han Baohu had nothing to say, so he turned sideways and gave way.
&*&
Early in the morning, it was overcast, "It's not going to rain!" Chen Zhongyuan raised his eyes and looked at the thick clouds and said with some concern, "This rain will extinguish the fire." ”
"I didn't feel damp, I didn't feel stuffy, I shouldn't be able to get down!" Hong Lianshuo felt that there was not much humidity in the air.
"There's nothing inside or outside the city, and we caught some game as sacrifices." Chen Zhongyuan looked at her with deep eyes and said, "I found some paper in the city and made some paper money." It's not a lot of thought, right? ”
"Okay!" Hong Lianshuo replied in a deep voice.
"Then I'm going to get ready." Chen Zhongyuan got up and went to gather people.
