Chapter 42: The Burial
When Zhang Xiaochun came home, it was already late, and he quietly went up to the second floor without alarming Zhang Yang and his wife.
Who knew that as soon as Zhang Xiaochun opened the door, he saw his parents sitting on his bed? "Mom and Dad, why are you in my room? Don't you sleep? ”
Zhang Yang got up and came to Zhang Xiaochun's side and asked, "Have you taken care of everything?" Your mother and I were so worried about you that we came to your room to wait for you. ”
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Zhang Xiaochun instantly felt that there was a warm current flowing in his heart, and at this moment Zhang Xiaochun only felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
"It's over, don't worry about Mom and Dad, it's all over."
Zhang Xiaochun's mother said: "I haven't eaten yet, Mom will go and heat up the food for you, you can eat some food first!" It must have been tiring after a day of tossing. ”
After speaking, he went downstairs without waiting for Zhang Xiaochun to react, and after a while, he brought the food over, and watched Zhang Xiaochun gulp down the food he made.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaochun's mother only felt that her eyes were red and tears were slowly flowing, Zhang Xiaochun and Zhang Yang hurriedly said as soon as they saw this situation.
"Mom, are you alright? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Not really! Isn't that okay with me? ”
Zhang Xiaochun's mother wiped away her tears, looked at Zhang Xiaochun's still slightly immature face and said, "Mom is just worried about what accident will happen to you, if you have something long and short, what should you do with your father." ”
"You and my dad can rest assured! What if I specify it's okay? And I plan to wait until Uncle Liu is buried, and then I will learn Taoism from Dong Lao. ”
Then Zhang Xiaochun told him about the conversation with Dong Lao, and he said it very clearly, after listening to Zhang Xiaochun's narration.
Zhang Yang frowned, thought about it and said, "What about the matter of Du Lingyue, and the matter of Wang Laohan?" Don't you guys find out and talk about something else? What if that Du Lingyue harms someone? Your mom and I won't stop you from making a decision, but surely things can't be put on forever? ”
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Zhang Xiaochun also felt that what he said made sense, "In this way, after I solve all these problems with Dong Lao, I will talk about other things." ”
Zhang Xiaochun's mother looked at Zhang Xiaochun and said, "Well, it's safer this way, if your Uncle Liu knows, he will feel relieved, right?" When it's all over, it's not too late for you to go to the training? And where is Liu Jing, if you have nothing to do, you can contact it more, I think that girl is also a little interesting to you. ”
"Mom! Where does this begin? Thinking of Liu Jing's appearance, Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but tremble, because Liu Jing should have been possessed by that Du Lingyue without accident.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but have a trace of sadness on his face, but he still had to say to his mother in his mouth: "Okay, I know, Mom, you can rest assured!" ”
"Okay, you should rest early, tomorrow will be the day of your Uncle Liu's burial," Zhang Yang followed Zhang Xiaochun's mother downstairs after speaking.
Zhang Xiaochun sat on the bed alone, thinking that he had been out with Dong Lao for most of the night tonight, and he was already mentally exhausted.
After a while, Zhang Xiaochun was already asleep......
In the early morning, Zhang Xiaochun was woken up by the sound of an alarm clock, and he stretched out his hand in a daze to take the alarm clock and saw that it was almost nine o'clock.
Then he hurriedly got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and ran to Liu Jing's house after cleaning up, and then Zhang Yang saw his son in such a hurry and said in a hurry, "Xiaochun, you can leave after eating?" Meals are all ready. ”
"It's fine if you eat it with my mother, I won't eat it"
Look at Zhang Xiaochun again, he has disappeared, "Alas! This kid is too, the meals are ready, it's not too late to go after eating? Why are you in such a hurry? ”
When Zhang Xiaochun came to Liu Jing's house, he saw that there were already many people in the courtyard, and today was the day of the burial, so there were so many people.
Just as Zhang Xiaochun was looking around, a shout came into Zhang Xiaochun's ears, and he followed the sound to see that it was Liu Jing standing not far away looking at Zhang Xiaochun.
Liu Jing looked at Zhang Xiaochun and then came to his side and said, "You come with me, I have something to tell you." ”
Zhang Xiaochun felt a little panicked after hearing this, he didn't know whether to follow the past, because he knew that the current Liu Jing was abnormal, or that he was possessed by Du Lingyue.
But he was too embarrassed not to go, and after watching Liu Jing finish speaking, he stopped paying attention to him, and turned around and walked towards her room.
Zhang Xiaochun in the back thought about it and had to follow along, and when Zhang Xiaochun came to Du Lingyue's room, he found Liu Jing sitting on a chair, looking at Zhang Xiaochun with big eyes.
For a while, Zhang Xiaochun was a little overwhelmed, and he was still a little nervous in his heart, because he didn't know what Liu Jing wanted to do, so he felt bottomless.
"Don't be afraid, the woman is gone. Left last night. When Zhang Xiaochun heard Liu Jing say this, he felt a little incredible for a while.
Liu Jing looked at Zhang Xiaochun's expression and knew that he definitely didn't believe his words, or he was a little too late to accept it for a while.
"Actually, you don't need this expression, because I really don't have any deep hatred with that woman, not to mention that my father is dead, and I'm just a fatherless and motherless person now."
Zhang Xiaochun took a breath and slowly spit it out, as if he had made some kind of decision, he looked at Liu Jing in front of him for a while and said, "The woman in red is called Du Lingyue, she is from Hongjia Village. ”
So Zhang Xiaochun told all the origins of Du Lingyue, Liu Jing sighed after listening to it, she didn't expect that the experience of the woman named Du Lingyue was so miserable.
was supposed to have a stable home, but because of the tricks of fate and the misfortune of life, the final outcome and the miserable life were still there.
"That Wang Erzhen is not a thing, he treats Du Lingyue like that is really a scum and scum, I really don't understand how a disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial person like him can grow up."
"Actually, Wang Er is also a victim, he should have been possessed by that Meng Hu's mother, and after Uncle Liu is buried, I want to go to Hongjia Village to see, and the matter should also be understood."
Liu Jing frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go with you!" I also want to see those supernatural things, and if I can meet Du Lingyue, I also want to ask her some things in person. ”
Zhang Xiaochun looked at Du Lingyue and didn't understand what medicine was bought in her gourd, and then nodded at Liu Jing and said, "Okay, let's go together then, what are your plans in the future Liu Jing?" ”
Zhang Xiaochun still decided to ask Liu Jing about her plans for the future, Liu Jing lowered her head and thought about it and said, "I don't know?" It's a step at a time, but when it's all over, I'll leave the house and look outside. ”
"I originally planned to wait for Uncle Liu's funeral to pass, and then go with Dong Lao to practice Maoshan Technique, but my parents said that I should finish all these things before going out, and then I thought about it carefully, and it was not too late to leave after all the things were resolved."
"You can buy a phone when you go back! It's easier for us to contact each other in the future," Liu Jing thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's almost time, let's go out!" ”
In the mourning hall, Liu Jing looked at the black coffin and felt sour for a while, Liu Jing ran to the coffin and stretched out her hand to touch the coffin, as if she was feeling her father's breath.
Even though there was a lot of reluctance in my heart, I finally had to let go, because at this time, four coffin bearers had already come, and with Ma Lao's "get up the coffin", the four people set off together to carry the coffin.
For a while, Liu Jing cried heartbreakingly, and the neighbors all stepped forward to comfort Liu Jing and asked her to want to open some and not be too sad. But how can this kind of thing not be sad?
The men, women and children in the whole village were in a bad mood, and everyone sent Lao Liu on his last journey with sadness, and after walking for about 20 minutes, he finally came to a forest.
This forest is halfway up the mountain, and when he entered the woods, Ma Lao said: "The four people who carried the coffin and Liu Jing and Zhang Xiaochun, you all went in, and the others were waiting outside." ”
Zhang Xiaochun: Their custom here is that when the dead are buried, in addition to the person who carries the coffin, it is the person who is most closely related to the deceased that can watch the burial.
Because Lao Liu has no son, he has regarded Zhang Xiaochun as half a son since he was a child, so he will definitely go, and Lao Ma is the master of ceremonies, and he will also go in, except for a few of them, the rest are waiting outside.
Dong Lao walked up to Zhang Xiaochun and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm waiting for you outside, and you have to pay attention to Liu Jing and Lao Liu's body, I always feel that something is wrong." Dong Lao said in a low voice in my ear.
"Dong Lao, don't worry, it's definitely okay, I've been through so much, what am I afraid of? And Liu Jing is fine, very normal, I have already talked to her in her house just now, Liu Jing said that Du Lingyue has left, and now the problem is Uncle Liu. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaochun didn't dare to say any more, he didn't believe that Uncle Liu had changed his body, but Dong Lao said that there was a problem with the corpse, and he was a little panicked.
"Did you bring the book I gave you?"
Zhang Xiaochun nodded, and at this moment, the old horse said, "Xiaochun! Why don't you hurry up and keep up, what are the inkblots behind? ”
At this time, Zhang Xiaochun found out that the coffin had entered the woods, so Zhang Xiaochun hurriedly followed, for fear of delaying the coffin's burial.
Zhang Xiaochun came to Liu Jing's side out of breath, Liu Jing looked at Zhang Xiaochun and said, "Your face is a little bad, are you scared?" You're not that timid, are you? ”
When Zhang Xiaochun heard this, he instantly felt a hot pain on his face, "It's really embarrassing, I was looked down upon by Liu Jing, a girl." ”
Liu Jing looked at Zhang Xiaochun with his head down, muttering something in his mouth. "What's the matter, did I get it right? If you're really scared, then you can go back and wait outside the woods, and you won't be here."
"What are you talking about? Uncle Liu doesn't have a son, I'm Uncle Liu, half of his old man's son, how can I not be there when he buries him today? I'm afraid, everything is even more nonsense, what am I afraid of? ”
Liu Jing pouted, "Don't think I don't know, look at your pale face and your heartbeat is so fast, I can hear your heartbeat so far away from you, you still don't admit that you are scared." ”
Zhang Xiaochun was said by Liu Jing and suddenly lost his temper like a frosted eggplant, and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
I only heard Ma Lao say: "Okay, put the coffin down, the four of you go over there to dig the grave, Xiaochun, you stay and watch the coffin, Liu Jing and I have to watch and there are still some ceremonies to break ground." ”……
