9 Chapter 9
This Jinbei van is a bit old, and the leather cushions inside have holes in the burned cigarette butts, but fortunately, the air circulation is OK, and the smell is not unpleasant.
Even so, Tong Huaiqing rolled down the car window and was blown back by the wind.
He sat on his side, and when he looked at it from this angle, he could see no face, only the white back of his neck, which was like a swan.
Chai Daya retracted his gaze, still a little unbelievable, this person really went with him.
Especially at the beginning, he was fierce and kicked himself, but after he finished speaking, he nodded directly in the middle of the night.
Two high beams pierced the darkness of the road, and the green belt swept backwards.
You'll be there in no time.
Yaskawa County Funeral Home.
Motorola rang the bell of Didi, and Chai Daya hurriedly picked it up: "Dad, we'll be there soon." ”
There was a lot of anger over there: "It's four people, isn't it?" ”
"Yes, don't worry," Chai Daya grinned and grabbed one of his yellow hairs, "It's only five minutes." ”
He wears a stud earring on his left ear, a floral shirt, black shorts, flip-flops, and a small skull necklace around his neck.
But you have to listen to his father honestly.
No way, the people who work in this place are really a little superstitious after a long time.
I don't know if it's the rules handed down from ancient times in Anchuan County, or the truth they have summed up.
If there were bodies that were delivered at night, four people would have to be in charge of carrying them.
One more, one less, it's not good.
On weekdays, there are people on duty at night in the unit, but today it happened that those people were out to do something, and the father hurriedly called his son and asked the servants to come over to help.
Ordinary people may be unlucky, so this kind of short-term job gives a lot of money.
But the two friends will nod their heads, and follow Chai Daya to do some chores on weekdays.
Or maybe it's because the man is short of money?
When Chai Daya tentatively explained his intention to Tong Huaiqing, the man stood quietly and didn't react, so he hurriedly added: "Give sixty yuan!" ”
"Sixty or six Shun."
"I'm not tired at all, just take a hand!"
The man was very good-looking, so beautiful that he could hardly be raised here.
He nodded lightly.
I followed and got into the car.
There was a sound of brakes, and Chai Daya hurriedly opened the car door and jumped down: "It's here." ”
Daddy Chai was standing at the door, and when he saw his son's virtue, he was angry: "Bastard! ”
He looked at his son's group of fox friends with his hands behind his back, the yellow-haired ones came down, and the red-headed ones showed again, and the dark purple ones with broken hair also leaned out, shouting: "Hey, hello uncle!" ”
Daddy Chai didn't see it.
It's all stuff that can't be learned, this group of young people has never suffered hardship, they don't do it all day long, they ride a motorcycle everywhere...... He was about to continue scolding, when he suddenly froze.
The last man to come down was a little slow, as if he was not used to the crampedness of the van, and his delicate eyebrows were gently twisted.
Then, he raised his eyes and glanced at Daddy Chai.
Daddy Chai is fifty-two this year, and he has walked through the south and the north, and he has seen a lot of living and dead people, but he has never seen anyone with such a sign.
Especially compared to the conspicuous bag of those people.
.
The fairy descends to earth.
"What's the matter, it's four people," Chai Daya leaned over with a grin, "What's going on tonight?" ”
Tong Huaiqing didn't pay attention to the noisy father and son, but stared at the signboard in front of him, black on a white background, revealing a bleak energy, the funeral home provides funeral services, and the crematorium is generally used for cremation, but the management of this small county town is not very standardized, and the two are combined into one.
"The hospital just sent it, and the police also said that he has no relatives, and he is an old homeless man."
Daddy Chai pushed open the half-closed big iron door, and with a "squeak", some stagnant pulleys drew a long path on the ground.
Tong Huaiqing followed behind, looking at the still silhouette, thin, silent, with gentle ups and downs, because the body was too thin.
The young man with dyed purple hair followed behind: "Are you afraid? ”
Tong Huaiqing shook his head.
"I used to be afraid, but since my grandmother left, I am not afraid," the man said to himself, "what if I die, I have lived anyway, and I used to be the children and relatives of whom, after figuring this out, I am not afraid at all...... Yes! Chai Daya, you're sick! ”
He was so frightened by the sudden slap on the shoulder that he bounced to the side, his heart palpitated, and pointed to the mischievous Chai Daya: "I'll grass you...... Ah, I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't mean that. ”
Chai Daya covered his stomach and smiled: "Hahaha, aren't you afraid, coward!" ”
The night wind was whining, and I was still singing "Look at the Girl Opposite" with the speaker just now, but at this moment I was laughing loudly in the funeral home, life and death, youth and aging, gangsters and homeless, the rain that had not fallen for a long time had reached a wonderful balance at this moment.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and the four men carried the body forward.
"I didn't expect it, so heavy?"
Tong Huaiqing was still drooping.
He knew that after a person died, it would be very heavy.
Obviously, the body bag is a thin one.
It's already three or four o'clock in the morning.
"It's done," Chai Daya tidied up the lower corner, took out two banknotes from his pocket and handed them over, "Here you go, remember to wash your hands." ”
Tong Huaiqing had already taken off his gloves and washed his hands, but he didn't answer them, and he was still panting slightly.
"Take it," Chai Daya put the money on the table, "How will you go back and send it to you?" We'll have to wait a minute. ”
Zi Fa immediately raised his head, hugged his arms and retreated vigilantly: "I don't cry." ”
Another grinned: "I'll howl twice, I have experience in this matter." ”
Chai Daya picked up a broom and was about to chase after the two friends, anyway, his father would also go out, and they would toss around in the house.
"Okay, it's important to be busy with business, you have to hurry up and go back, I haven't drunk any wine tonight."
Chai Daya put the broom in the corner of the wall, walked back, knelt down in the direction of the incinerator where the body had just been delivered, and kowtowed three times.
Then, let out a loud howl.
There are no tears, he is a stranger who has never even met once, I don't know if he has been blessed or sinned in his life, and he is alone when he dies of old age, so at least cry for him, and he should be sent off.
The sound from the incinerator could not be heard, only some dry wails could be heard, wafting through the room.
Tong Huaiqing stood dumbfounded, his fingers trembling again.
The sound stopped.
There is no such stranger in the world.
The ashes are just like that, maybe a little spilled in the process of boxing, anyway, accompanied by a funny cry, the breeze blows so much, it's clean, and the world is going to travel.
On the way back, Tong Huaiqing didn't let them send it to the end.
I want to come down and take a walk, facing the wind and looking at the night sky.
I was still panicked.
The moat in Ancheon County is particularly long, and you can see the tree-lined embankment from afar, and from here you can get back to the guest house, just in time to find a breakfast shop and grab a bite to eat along the way.
Want to drink something hot.
Or a bowl of tender egg custard.
Chai Daya still stuffed the sixty yuan to him, and shook his hair in a chic manner: "Brother, what do you have to do in the county in the future, tell me, my brother can be there!" ”
It's a pity that this little beauty is probably dumb and speechless.
Otherwise, you have to go to KTV to sing a few songs.
After coming out of the disco, Chai Daya stepped on the accelerator beautifully, shook his head and continued to howl and sing.
"You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted, and cry alone until dawn~"
The red hair in the back covered his ears: "It's not enjoyable yet, it's hard to hear!" ”
"It's always easy to fall in love, it's too difficult to get along~"
"Shut up...... Hey, do you think that's big brother? ”
Chai Daya turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a tall back in the rearview mirror.
It's early in the morning, what is he doing here?
In Anchuan County, when it comes to Brother Gang and Brother Leopard, it can be said that there are a bunch of people, and when Chai Daya shows himself, he is willing to be called Brother Shengya, but when it comes to the name of Big Brother, there is only Chi Ye.
Big brother is big brother.
The speed of the van slowed down, and Chai Daya poked out his head and smiled: "Big brother, come out so early today?" ”
Ikeno is still in a black vest camouflage pants, his short hair stands on end, his shoulders are broad, his legs are long, his muscles are tight, his eyebrows are straight, his jawline is clear, and he is followed by a half-grown child, thin and quiet.
"Come out and go around."
Ikeno is concise.
There was no way, Chen Xiangyang held the piano music clip and didn't let go, saying that he was going to return it to Tong Tong's brother, they didn't recognize what it was at first, and they thought about whether it was to study stationery, but then a graduate student next door saw it and said that this should be used to clip the score.
Ikeno was still a little sulky and ignored him.
After a while, Chi Yinuo also came over with a bottle of nail polish, saying that he didn't have time to apply it to Brother Tong Tong.
Ikeno lifted his feet and went out the door.
When I arrived at the car repair shop, the dark clouds in the sky were pressing down layer by layer, and the moon tree planted in the tires was a little wilted, maybe it hadn't been watered for a few days, and the leaves were all luster.
Ikeno squatted on the ground, with a long stem of grass in his mouth, and returned home in the evening.
The moon season in the courtyard is also drooping.
Before eating, I picked cucumbers in the vegetable furrow and twisted a few green onions.
The meal was a bit casual.
Shoot cucumbers, shallots mixed with tofu, and a bowl of mung bean porridge.
Chi Yinuo's ten fingernails were red, but the little girl was not happy at all, and her mouth was pouting again.
Ikeno's hand clicked on the table: "Eat well." ”
"I didn't even say goodbye to him!"
Chi Yinuo was not afraid of her brother at this time, she stood up on the ground, the chair stepped back, and fell directly to the ground.
"I didn't return the things, and I didn't say goodbye...... Although, although he has never spoken, Brother Tong Tong is very good. ”
Chen Xiangyang also muttered quietly.
"Yes, why do you want to make a noise with the eldest brother, and let him go."
"Brother Tong Tong's illness is just right, didn't you say that he probably ran away from home, so where else can he go?"
"The teacher said that hospitality is a fine tradition in Anchuan County!"
Ikeno's forehead was abruptly annoyed by the two children, and he finally put down his chopsticks helplessly.
"Stop yelling."
He exhaled a sullen breath from his chest: "Tomorrow morning, I will take Yangyang to him and return the things." ”
Chi Yinuo's eyes lit up: "What about me?" ”
"Forgot?" Ikeno lifted his eyelids, and when he wasn't smiling, he was particularly fierce, "You can't go out this weekend." ”
Chi Yinuo: "Wow woo-"
No matter how much you howl, it's okay to occasionally compromise before the bottom line, but Ikeno's principles can't be lost.
So he took Chen Xiangyang to the train station to see if he could meet this person.
Should...... Haven't left yet, have you?
Or ask the conductor about it, Chi Ye doesn't have much feeling about people's appearance and ugliness, but he also knows that Tong Huaiqing looks eye-catching, so if he bought a ticket yesterday, the staff should have an impression.
As he was walking, he met Chai Daya and greeted him.
"We have just come back," this yellow hairy is ripe, "last night my father sent an anonymous person, and I ran to the funeral home in the middle of the night to help, and I was tired." ”
Ikeno didn't have any taboos, and replied casually, "That's quite unfortunate." ”
"Yes," Chai Daya continued, "I don't have any relatives or friends, and I cried a few times there to see me off...... Hey, big brother, I'll answer the phone first. ”
The purple hair in the back seat was teasing Chen Xiangyang: "Brother, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
Chen Xiangyang held up the piano music folder: "This is Brother Tong Tong's thing, we are looking for someone." ”
"Have you seen him, gray shirt and black pants, he looks good," Chen Xiangyang stood obediently, "My eldest brother and I want to return this to him." ”
The purple-haired young man was lying on the car window: "Hey, isn't it very white, with beautiful eyes and a mole on his face?" ”
Ikeno raised his head: "You've seen it, where is it?" ”
"Funeral home, just last night."
His tone was casual, and he shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity." ”
It's a pity to get off the bus early, otherwise you might be able to run into him, aren't people looking for him.
Chen Xiangyang was stunned, and after a few seconds of stunnedness, he exhaled in pain: "Brother...... Eldest brother! ”
Ikeno let go of the hand that was holding his brother's arm, and his Adam's apple rolled, and his muscles tensed and stiffened.
"Click-"
The bean-sized rain smashed on the ground, and wet circles appeared, and then quickly continued into a line, pouring down with a bang.
The heavy rain that had been held back all night finally fell at this moment.
