Uncle Li really found a mobile phone burned for the dead in a funeral shop near the community.

The owner of the store also enthusiastically introduced, "There is an iPhone, the latest model, this is called a fork or something." There is also Huawei, which is domestically produced and supports domestic products. This is a custom-made machine, so it's good-looking, right? The large screen is comfortable for the elderly to use. ”

Uncle Li was stunned, thinking about the love madness used by his wife, and then thinking about the Huawei he used, he decisively chose Huawei.

The boss happily recommended automatic mahjong to him, "The old man has to play it when he gets down." Life after death should also be colorful. ”

Uncle Li calmly refused.

He also bought some traditional paper money, including folded ingots and unfolded tin foil.

The boss did not give up, and recommended a new stygian coin to him, with a large face value, and a string of zeros at the back, which made people dizzy.

"There's a lot of inflation down there." Uncle Li shook his head and sighed, disapproving.

"Yo, uncle, you still understand inflation." The owner was surprised.

Uncle Li ignored it.

"You're right, inflation is terrible. It's not interesting for you to burn this, you have to burn this. That's enough. The boss didn't give up the sale, and shook the coin in his hand.

An elderly lady walked out of the shop, raised her hand and patted the back of the boss's head.

"Is there anyone who does this business?"

"Am I not in business?" The boss covered his head and craned his neck.

The old lady was quick with her hands and feet, packed things for Uncle Li, and was still scolding the boss: "Just you guys are fooling around." What kind of coins, what kind of mobile phones...... Mess around. ”

"Mom, why is this messing up? It's about keeping up with the times. We can't use high-tech anymore, our ancestors are still cooking on fire, right? Hey, by the way, uncle, do you want an induction cooker? Gas stoves are also available. It also comes with a manual, and the ancestors will use it when they see it. "The boss is oily and smooth, and he doesn't give up selling his goods.

The old lady stuffed the black plastic bag into Uncle Li's arms, collected the money, turned around and continued to beat her son, scolding and scolding in her mouth, very angry at her son's behavior.

Uncle Li didn't persuade him, so he walked out with two plastic bags.

When he came out, he saw the crowd of people walking on the street, and saw the mobile phone in someone's hand, and he felt like he was in a different world.

He had only a vague idea of what the world was like below.

Probably, there is an afterlife; Probably, there are reincarnations, reincarnations, and so on; Probably, when you come to that world, before you are reincarnated, you also need to live; Probably...... The world down there will also keep pace with the times.

Uncle Li glanced down at the plastic bag.

The black plastic bag blocked Uncle Li's vision, and Uncle Li couldn't see it, but he still remembered the appearance of the Huawei phone just now. It's a set, and it comes with a calling card, the screen is colorful, and there are various software icons, which looks like a prototype in a mobile phone store.

Uncle Li's steps to take stopped.

He reflexively returned to the store.

"Uncle, have you changed your mind?" The boss smiled.

The old lady stopped and looked at Uncle Li in surprise.

"Can you borrow a piece of paper and a pen?" Uncle Li asked.

The boss took out a pen and paper from under the counter and handed it to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li wrote down his mobile phone number on a piece of paper, folded it up, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Is this your phone number?" The boss looked at it generously, and took the initiative to talk, "I should leave a mobile phone number for the underground ancestors, otherwise it will be useless to burn the mobile phone in the past." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old lady scolded angrily.

Uncle Li raised his head and smiled, "It's good to receive it." Make a phone call and report safety...... Alas......"

The boss nodded in agreement, "How many mobile phones have I burned for my dad." Maybe he didn't burn my number, he never called. ”

The old lady interjected: "He doesn't know the phone number at home?" I'm going to hit your phone! Don't talk nonsense! It's not the same below. ”

"Mom, you haven't been down there, you know?" The boss joked and was beaten twice by his mother.

Uncle Li smiled, thanked the boss, and said goodbye to the old lady before leaving with his things.

This time, he didn't look back, and after walking out, he turned a corner at the intersection and went around to a small road behind the community.

There were no shops along the road, just a row of railings and fences in the neighborhood. The sidewalks are wide, and people and cars passing by are hurrying by. On the opposite side of the road is the fence of the neighboring community, which is closed and does not open at this end. There are two rows of street lamps on the sidewalk, each far apart, and the branches of the street trees block the light, making it very dark at night.

There are no traffic lights at the intersection, just four zebra crossings, circled by a square.

In the other three directions, there are also similar small roads, and one of the roads has opened a mobile business hall, where Uncle Li's mobile phone card was issued. There is also a post office and a bank on the road. At this point, all three stores were closed, and the ATMs at the post office and bank were still lit.

Uncle Li put his hand into the iron railing of the community and broke a branch from the small sapling inside. He drew a circle with a tree branch on the sidewalk near the intersection and prepared to burn the paper.

He crouched down next to the ring, untied the black plastic bag, took out an ingot, lit it with a lighter, and threw it into the ring.

There is no wind tonight, and the ingots burn quietly.

He threw several ingots into the flame before he let out a sigh.

"Old dragon, you're doing well down there. If you have anything to say, you tell me, if you have anything on your mind, I will definitely help you do it. What kind of friendship do we have? Even if you're gone, I don't even know ......"

Uncle Li was immersed in a faint sadness.

Passers-by looked at him in astonishment, and immediately crossed the zebra crossing, went across the road, and avoided him.

Even young people will not walk past Uncle Li and those paper money.

It's not necessarily taboo, it's more of a habit.

People are used to not stepping on the circle of burning paper, they are used to avoiding similar things, and if they really come across, they will not feel unlucky, and they will not be annoyed and angry about it.

Someone saw Uncle Li, an old man, squatting here and muttering and burning paper money, and they would have some sympathy.

Most people have lost a loved one or friend and miss the deceased.

Uncle Li didn't recall too many things in the past. What he wanted to say to Jiang Longchang was said when he visited the tomb last time.

He quickly threw the ingots and tin foil into the fire, and took out the mobile phone pressed at the bottom of the plastic bag.

"Old Dragon, this is a mobile phone, new, and now people use it. I also learned during this time. I opened WeChat. Your phone also has WeChat. Uncle Li pointed to the color printing on the mobile phone screen, "That's it." If you don't know how to use it, you can call me. This is a phone card, and you have to insert it in. This is to make a call, and you press the number when the time comes. I've written down my number for you, and I'll stuff it in for you. ”

Uncle Li took out the paper from his pocket and stuffed it into the phone case.

"It's all burned for you, you remember to call me. If you have anything to say, just call me and let me know. You dreamed today, I really didn't hear it. I've got bad ears. Uncle Li muttered and threw the whole box into the fire.

The flames burned, engulfing the cartons.

Uncle Li's phone number, mobile phone made of paper and mobile phone card were all gradually turned to ashes in the flames.

I don't know when, the wind started.
