Chapter 44: The Crying Spirit

Less than ten days ago, the left peak Zhujiazhuang on the rainy and misty mountain was still covered with red and hung colors, but now it is a white wall, with white couplets everywhere, everyone looks sad, and there is an indescribable strange and terrifying atmosphere enveloping Zhujiazhuang.

Although the body was still left in the county government under the mountain, Zhujiazhuang set up a mourning hall for Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingyun. Many relatives and friends of the Zhu family came and left, and everyone bowed and saluted in front of the spiritual positions of Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingyun, as if they were respectful and sad, but they couldn't help but guess in their hearts: "Zhu Tianwei is such a hero, I didn't expect to die like this, what happened? Is it a vendetta or a fight?"

Every time the guests of the spiritual visit finished the salute, Zhu Tianxiang, who was guarding the spiritual seat, was busy returning the salute. Although he can't take charge of it alone, in the past few days, he has been dealing with the funeral of Zhu Tianwei and his wife, and arranging some chores in the village, he is no longer as shy and humble as before, and his voice is louder, and he has made a decision to give orders. It's just that everyone in Zhuangzhong feels that it is difficult to change, and they still look down on him, if it weren't for Shen Yi and Hua Susu and others to help and encourage them, Zhu Tianxiang should not come forward to preside over the response, but I am afraid that there will be no chance to appear at the funeral.

Once it was time to have to show up, Zhu Tianxiang also showed the unyielding tenacity unique to the Zhu family, no matter how cold and sarcastic others were, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and did things in a straightforward and decent.

During the interval between receiving guests, he turned his eyes from time to time to look at Shen Yi and Hua Susu sitting on the side, his eyes were full of gratitude, and his eyes towards Hua Susu were even more affectionate.

Because of Shen Yi and others, the people of Zhujiazhuang had to suppress their disdain for Zhu Tianxiang in their hearts and reluctantly obey orders. Only the old housekeeper's blessing never showed up, deducing that the back disease had recurred, coupled with a heavy mood, he couldn't get up, and he didn't come out to help.

It was getting late, and the guests of condolences were scarce, Zhu Tianxiang straightened up, secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be happy, this was the first time in his life that he came out to preside over a big event, everything went well, and contact with people didn't seem to be as terrible as he began to worry.

He looked at Shen Yi, Shen Yi smiled encouragingly, nodded at him, and he felt even more relaxed and confident. When he looked at Hua Susu again, hoping to get an encouraging smile, he saw Hua Susu's big shining eyes looking at Shen Yi without blinking, and anyone could see the deep concern and respect in her eyes, as well as the incomparable joy that her lover was by her side.

Zhu Tianxiang's chest seemed to have been stabbed by a sharp sword, and the stab was deep and heavy. He felt a piercing pain, but instead of sadness, there was an indescribable anger that instantly filled his heart. For a moment, he looked away with difficulty, his expression regaining his former humility and shyness.

Bai Xinyu sat next to Hua Susu, and inadvertently saw the fleeting anger in Zhu Tianxiang's eyes, although he knew that he was weak and incompetent, he shivered inexplicably, and secretly comforted himself in his heart: "I am very sad that the eldest brother and second sister have died, and I think too much." ”

She looked back at her eldest brother Bai Qingfeng beside her, and felt uneasy in her heart.

Since discovering that Bai Qingyun had committed suicide, Bai Qingfeng's face was as cold and unmoving. Others may not be able to see the change, but Bai Xinyu knows him too well, and knows that he must be very uneasy and excited in his heart, otherwise he would not have said almost a word all day long, and he would not have trembled so much that his hands almost broke the incense stick when he was incense. She also remembered that after Zhu Tianwei's tragic death, Bai Qingfeng stayed awake all night for several days, sitting alone in the lobby of the fence village, with no lights and candles, and sitting all night.

Bai Xinyu knew that the eldest brother had a lot of concerns, but every time she asked tentatively, Bai Qingfeng either ignored her, or said that it was okay, but she clearly saw the anxiety and fear in his eyes. What is he worried about, and what is he afraid of?

The white candles in the mourning hall rose one by one, the cool breeze blew, and the candle shadows swayed, and the chill in the mourning hall suddenly increased, as if there was some unsightly secret hidden in the dark corner, or there were beasts and monsters that were ready to come out at any time in the shadows.

Zhu Tianxiang held the ground with one hand and wanted to get up, but the little scholar who had been standing behind him connected to the machine and hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm. Zhu Tianxiang didn't know whether he hated himself for being weak or hating Lianji's troubles, and after standing up, he shook off Lianji's hand and glared at him fiercely.

Lian Ji still hung his head deeply, no one could see the expression on his face, his hands hung down at his sides, and he silently retreated to the back.

Zhu Tianxiang took a deep breath first, plucked up his courage, and then said: "It's late, please move to the canteen, eat early, and rest early......

He thought for a while, and then instructed a family member beside him: "Go and inform the kitchen to prepare food...... He was not used to giving orders to assign people, and as soon as the words came out, his face turned red with nervousness.

He settled down and secretly told himself that he was already the owner of Zhujiazhuang, so there was no need to be timid. Before he could speak again, he saw the old butler's blessing, disheveled, and his gray hair disheveled, stumbling in.

The old housekeeper didn't look away, and directly hit Zhu Tianwei's spiritual seat, clenched his hands into fists, pounded the desk, and cried loudly: "Zhuang Master! Why are you so dead? The old slave can be regarded as a master who has served for three generations, but he didn't expect the Zhu family to fall to this point, and he can't even leave a decent descendant!"

Zhu Tianxiang took two steps back, his expression flustered, his face turned white, and he was at a loss.

The old housekeeper blessed that if there was no one around, he continued to caress the spiritual position with both hands, and cried: "Owner, you died unjustly, you did everything with your strength, you were frightened, and you were waiting for the benefits, but others shared them." Now that you have died unexpectedly, who will avenge you, and who will administer justice for you? Others have gained advantage and you have lost your life, and what good friends you say, not to mention good brothers, are white-eyed wolves who can only share happiness but cannot share weal and bene!
