Chapter 55: The Funeral
"Hey, you're all here! Just save me from looking for them one by one!" the crowd was chatting enthusiastically, when a voice drifted in from outside the courtyard.
Everyone went with the prestige, only to see a middle-aged man touching his beloved mustache with his hand, standing outside the fence wall and smiling-it was Bai Xiaosheng, who had been busy recently.
"Uncle, what are you looking for us?" Ning Xiao was interrupted and was not annoyed, and after seeing that the person who spoke was Bai Xiaosheng, he hurriedly asked, "Since I came back this time, we haven't had a good chat!"
"Isn't this busy, poor my old bones, I still have to help you when I'm old, and I don't know when I'm going to be a head. Bai Xiaosheng complained.
"Don't say that, Mr. Bai, you are in the prime of life, but you are the best situation in a man's life!" It was Shen Mingyue who spoke, who rolled in the wind and dust, and was a talker.
"I bet that Lao Bai came over this time, there must be something for us to do!" Listening to this tone, he knew that this sentence was said by all the same, although Ning Xiao was surprised by the familiarity with Bai Xiaosheng, but he didn't care too much, but he was a little curious about Bai Xiaosheng's coming to everyone.
"This guy has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, do you still need to say this?" Even Feng Buju, the daughter of Kelly Qiu, who was close to Bai Xiaosheng, couldn't help but tear down Bai Xiaosheng's platform, which shows how busy Bai Xiaosheng has been recently......
Everyone interjected one after another, but Bai Xiaosheng didn't have a chance to say what he meant. Seeing Bai Xiaosheng's somewhat anxious expression, Li Linxi hurriedly asked everyone to quiet down and listen to what Bai Xiaosheng came to do this time, "If it's okay, don't go!" I haven't sat down to chat for a long time, there are two former heads of the six major factions here, so many secrets of the rivers and lakes, don't you want to hear about it?"
Bai Xiaosheng was also a little moved when he heard this, but he still shook his head, "I came this time, and there is indeed something." Originally, as soon as the festival was over and the ring was over, I was about to return to my previous leisurely life, but an elderly gentleman in the town found out that he had passed away this morning. I'm here to invite everyone to his funeral......"
"In this case, Guan Mou will definitely go!" Guan Yan has already decided to live in Zhige Town, although this is different from the seclusion he decided to live in before, almost everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that he lives in Zhige Town. But he decided not to move out of the place. The dignified former gang leader of the Qinglong Gang, moving around like running away, has no face at all.
"Which grandfather died?" A trace of grief flashed in Ning Xiao's eyes, Zhige Town actually developed after the First Civil War, not so much independent of the six major factions' sphere of influence, but rather that the six major factions were in a state of equilibrium. Almost all the people in Zhige Town are immigrants, and there were no local residents. But Ning Xiao grew up eating hundreds of meals in Zhige Town since she was a child, and she already thought that she was a native of Zhige Town. And every family in Zhige Town has given alms to the little beggars, and Ning Xiao was able to grow up thanks to these kind people. At this moment, he suddenly heard that an old gentleman in Zhige Town had passed away, and Ning Xiao was naturally sad in his heart.
Li Linxi naturally felt the sadness in Ning Xiao's heart, well, Ning Xiao behaved so obviously, basically everyone in the courtyard felt it. The girl stretched out her hand and held Ning Xiao's hand tightly. Ning Xiao felt the delicate and gentle touch on the palm, and her sad mood gradually calmed down, she didn't turn her head to look at the girl, but just held her palm back, holding Li Linxi's hand in the palm of her hand, and at the same time looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a firm look in her eyes.
The movements of the two people were hidden, but except for Zhang Buji, who was present with broken meridians, who was not a person with profound internal strength and amazing five senses, he naturally saw the small movements of the two. Guan Yan and Shen Mingyue looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Youji stared at the cup on the table in front of him indifferently, scratching his ears and cheeks, as if there were endless words in his heart, and a trace of different color flashed in his eyes, and he was silent.
"It's Mr. Donald who lives in the east of the town. The funeral was held at three o'clock in the afternoon, at the cemetery on the edge of the peach forest in the east of the town, and everyone was welcome to attend. I'm going to inform the others, so I'll take my leave. Those who want to go remember to attend on time. Bai Xiaosheng instructed, turned around and prepared to leave.
A good party is boring because of a person's funeral. Everyone was also in the mood to continue chatting, so they simply dispersed and made an appointment to meet at the cemetery by the peach forest in the east of the town at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, there are still five or six minutes before three o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Xiao came to the cemetery by the peach forest in the east of the town, but found that many people came, basically every family in the town had someone to come. Seeing this scene, Li Linxi smiled with emotion and said, "It seems that this Mr. Tang is very popular, and so many people came to attend his funeral...... I wonder how many people will come to see me when I die?"
Ning Xiao held Li Linxi's hand and said, "What can't you die, we are still young, there are still so many scenery that you haven't seen yet, are you willing to die like this?"
"Life and death have their own days, and I am very satisfied to be able to walk through so many places with you. Every extra day you live is an extra day of earning. Li Linxi became inexplicably pessimistic.
"This is not like you, I remember that you used to often say, 'Children of the Li family, never back down'?
The relationship between two people is really delicate, when one person is sad, the other person encourages. The so-called confidant, probably like this, right? Supporting each other to spend their lives, such feelings are really enviable.
Not long after, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the people who had been in Guan Yan's courtyard had arrived in large numbers, plus the representatives of every household in the town, and the crowd was bustling.
The grave had been dug up, and Mr. Tang's body was placed in the coffin, unable to see the specific appearance, lying quietly at the bottom of the pit. Bai Xiaosheng stepped forward to deliver a speech: "I didn't expect that not long after the Zhige Festival, we lost an old friend. On this sad day, Mr. Tang Bomiao has left us forever. He moved to the town twenty years ago, and he was a kind man who had no quarrel with the world, no property, no children, and no daughters. He died quietly now, but I thought about it, and a funeral was held for him. To put it mildly, after all, many people in the town have no children like Mr. Donald, and today Mr. Donald died, so many people came to visit him, and tomorrow if someone among us dies again, everyone will also come to see him, and he will not be lonely, right?" )
