Chapter 59: The Funeral

The atmosphere was a little inexplicable for a while, and several people were thinking about their own affairs, but they quieted down.

Yingchun was a little strange: Didn't he just say that he wanted them to marry a daughter-in-law? Why didn't he speak!

After a while, Ah Wu came back to his senses, sighed, and looked a little depressed, he couldn't think about these things anymore, he was afraid that he couldn't help it, and with his martial arts, it was not safe to go outside, and his qualifications were not as good as those of the mountains and tigers.

Huzi said abruptly: "After the funeral of the village chief, I will go outside for a while, and the affairs of the village will be handed over to you!"

Hearing Huzi's words, although everyone was a little surprised, they were not surprised, if it wasn't for the village chief who was still there before, they probably wouldn't have stayed in the village forever, and Ah Wu might not have just married a daughter-in-law.

"Let's go together, we can have a care!" Dashan also spoke, his expression serious, and he did not have his usual hanging.

Ah Wu was not surprised, and said calmly: "Although I knew for a long time that you would not stay in the village all the time, I didn't expect it to be so soon!"

Dashan picked up the cup again and poured a glass of wine, looking at the wine glass: "I won't be able to drink this wine in the future! Actually, it's not fast at all, if the village chief hadn't allowed it, I would have gone out a long time ago! The village chief had already agreed before, if it weren't for the incident of those bandits this time, I would have been somewhere else!"

"That's right, your martial arts are the highest among us, self-protection should be no problem, it's normal for the village chief to allow you to go out, you have a companion together, I can rest assured!

Ah Wu is like a parent who is not worried about his children going out, and he babbled and told the two of them all kinds of precautions. Although Ah Wu was the oldest of the four, he was only twenty-five years old, and the other three were only twenty-two or three. However, Ah Wu may be because he is already married, and the whole person is very calm, and with his face, no one believes it when he is in his thirties.

After admonishing the two of them, Ah Wu said again: "Da Niu probably won't stay in the village anymore, in fact, he has always wanted to go out, and the village chief is also at ease with him, but he has never been able to give up the village chief, and he is not worried that he is still alone at such an age, so he has been patient with his own ideas." ”

The other two also nodded approvingly: Da Niu is calm-headed, can bend and stretch, and his martial arts are not bad, as long as he does not encounter force majeure outside, he can definitely mix well.

And although Dashan is a little scheming, he has a short temper, and this mouth is also a problem, so although the martial arts are the highest among them, it makes people feel uneasy.

Not to mention Huzi, acting impulsively, taciturn, and going outside to make a discord with others, can this live well?

They didn't ask Li Mubai to take care of them, the two sides had no relatives and no reason, but it was good to come to help this time, and ask someone to be a nanny? Who do you think you are?

Li Mubai also took the opportunity to speak: "I'm going to leave after the village chief's funeral!"

"Bai Daxia can stay for a few more days! I haven't entertained you yet!" Ah Wu immediately said to stay.

Li Mubai smiled and shook his head: "I already have something, but this time it has been delayed for many days!"

"In that case, then I won't keep you!"

Li Mubai stood up: "Okay, it's not early, I'll go back to rest too!

"Let's go check it out!"

The four of them came to the village chief's house together, first put a stick of incense on the village chief, and then came to Niu Kelian's room.

"You're here!" Niu Kelian had already woken up, was sitting up, leaning on the bed, and the second dog hadn't left yet.

Ah Wu stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "Let's come and see you!

Niu Kelian showed a smile: "I can't die yet, it's just that my body is weak, just lie down for one night!"

Looking at Niu Kelian, who was pale, his lips were not colored, and he struggled to speak, Li Mubai sighed a little emotionally, and a sturdy man fell like this.

"Alas, you're fine!" Dashan looked at Niu Kelian for a long time, and finally said only that.

"I'm worried about you!

When my father and mother went, it didn't feel good, but I persevered because I knew they didn't want me to have a bad time. The village chief has always had high hopes for you, and you have to live up to his expectations of you!"

Niu Kelian looked at Huzi in some surprise: "If we weren't so familiar, I would have thought you were a different person!"

Huzi's face was as usual, and he said calmly: "People always have to grow up, and they will always mature a little more after more experience, and in this world, big fists are the last word, so I want to go outside and see a broader world, even if I die." ”

When Ah Wu heard this, he seemed to sigh and said, "You have all grown up, so I can be completely relieved!"

He turned his head to look at Niu Kelian again: "I know that you have always wanted to go outside to have a look, then hurry up and take care of your body, you go together to go together, you don't have to worry about things in the village, I will take care of it!"

"Ah Wu, you should come with us! Just leave the affairs of the village to Third Uncle Niu and them!" Huzi regretted it as soon as he said this, what if this is the case, sister-in-law?

Ah Wu shook his head and chuckled: "I won't go, in fact, I am quite reluctant to go to the village and my daughter-in-law, and my qualifications are not as good as yours, and I am old, so it doesn't matter if I can't go out!"

Although Ah Wu's appearance is light, the four of them know each other very well, how can they not know that his words are insincere!

Li Mubai didn't speak from beginning to end, this was their own choice, and he had no reason to interfere.

The crowd chatted for a while.

"You have a good rest, let's go back first!"

Niu Kelian looked at the departing people, and the discomfort in his heart was a lot less.

"Village Chief, I will work hard to become a master and not let you down, don't let you down! With us, the village will be fine! You watch from the sky, we will live well!"

......

Early the next morning, the weather was clear, and the sun was shining a little drunk.

On the contrary, the village chief's house is full of people, and the whole village has come, and today the village chief is buried, all dressed in linen and filial piety, a plain man, and the mourning is bursting, covering this area.

Niu Kelian got up from the bed with a hard support, dressed in filial piety clothes, next to the village chief's coffin, and his expression was filled with sadness again. The village chief had no heirs in his life, nor did he have biological brothers or anything, so Niu Kelian, as his heir, sent him to his death.

An old man stood in the center, singing and reading the eulogy, and then the people in the village stepped forward one by one to offer sacrifices, worship, and then it was time for the final coffin sealing.

Niu Kelian, Dashan, Huzi, and Ah Wu took one last look at the old man who had a profound impact on them and took care of them a lot, and covered the coffin with his own hands, and then nailed the coffin lid.

The whole process was silent, except for the occasional small choking voice.

They then carried the coffin, accompanied by the mournful music of blowing and beating, all the way to the cemetery where the village had been dug for a long time, where the pit had been dug.

After putting the coffin in, Niu Kelian took matters into his hands and sprinkled it one by one.

The other three looked at each other, sighed, and did not dissuade, silently stepped forward to help.

The third uncle Niu in the village couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded: "Go into the soil for peace, what are you trying to do? Let Brother Jing die without turning a blind eye, get out of the way, bury it quickly!"

Finally, the grave was erected, and only the last tombstone remained.

"Let's go first! I'll be alone!" Niu Kelian slowly carved words on the stone tablet.

The others looked at each other, and Third Uncle Niu nodded: "Let's go!"

The huge cemetery was left alone, and Niu Kelian no longer had to endure it, tears fell down in a stream, leaving traces on the stone tablet.

"Village chief, I have no father and mother since I was a child, and others say that I am pitiful, so they always call me pitiful, and you say that the name of pity is not good, so you help me change it to Niu Kelian. In fact, I am not pitiful at all, the people in the village have always helped me, and you have taught me, it is you who have given me father-like care, taught me to read, write, and be a man. I have memorized everything you said, and I have not forgotten it, and I have learned everything you taught me. From now on, I will not cry again, I will live a good life, and I will no longer be called pitiful. Look at it from the sky!"

Niu Kelian was crying and talking to himself, and his hands kept carving words.

After a long time, Niu Kelian erected the stele and stood silently in front of the stele.

"Village Chief, I'm leaving, when I come to see you next time, I will definitely become a master!"

Niu Kelian turned around and left resolutely.
