Chapter Seventy-Three: Benevolence and Righteousness Fly
Zheng Chong head seven, night.
It was still very dark that night, with no moon or stars overhead. There were a few crows, croaking and seeking.
In front of the hall, Zheng Chong's coffin was placed in the center.
Surrounded by coffins, the smell of corpses is gone, but it is still eerie.
White candles are lit on both sides, because the wind leaks in front of the hall, and the wind blows through the candle flame flickering and dimming, which is even more weird. Tonight is the legendary Day of Resurrection, and someone must watch it.
Zheng Chong's family is even more incompatible.
It was arranged that there were two children in the first half of the night, Chen Guhong, and in the second half of the night, Mrs. Zheng and Wang Song.
It's the night before, Chen Guhong is kneeling and sitting with two children, Chen Guhong didn't sleep last night, but he is still full of energy. Two little dolls, but they are sleepy insects.
Little by little.
In addition, the two dolls have clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, which are very cute, and wearing white filial piety clothes is even more heart-wrenching. After two days of getting along, Chen Guhong learned that the boy was the eldest brother named Zheng Yuan, and the girl was the younger sister, named Zheng Yu.
Chen Guhong saw that the two brothers and sisters were sleepy-eyed, so he gave birth to a heart of pity and exclaimed: "Yuan'er, Yu'er, if you want to sleep, lie down and sleep for a while." ”
"Uncle, we are not sleepy, my mother said, I will send my father to enjoy happiness tonight, and I can't sleep anymore. Zheng Yu was more lively and replied.
"Well, not sleepy. Zheng Yuan was slightly stunned and nodded again and again.
lost his father at a young age, although ignorant but well-behaved. Chen Guhong saw that he was even more pity, so he smiled and said: "Just send your father to enjoy the blessings with me, you are young and can't walk, he won't blame." Go to sleep. ”
"Really?" Zheng Yu was suspicious, his eyes widened.
"Really. ”
Chen Guhong said with a smile. The brother and sister believed that it was true, and they were sleepy, so they hugged each other and fell asleep. Although it was still warm at the moment, the little brother and sister were young, so Chen Guhong got up and took the blanket and put it on the little brother and sister's body, and touched the head of the brother and sister, very gentle.
It wasn't long before it was the second half of the night.
Wang Song and Mrs. Zheng got up one after another, and Mrs. Zheng saw that her children were asleep, and Chen Guhong was sitting beside them, with a gentle face, so she apologized and said, "I've caused trouble to Chen Xianggong." ”
"My nephews and nieces, what's the trouble?" Chen Guhong said with a smile.
"Gu Hong, go to sleep. Wang Song was about to take over, so he said.
"I'm not sleepy, I can't sleep, so I'll stay with you. Chen Guhong shook his head and said.
"Oh. Wang Song sighed, and didn't say much. Mrs. Zheng picked up a pair of children one by one and went upstairs, and then came back to keep vigil together.
The little sister Zheng Yu is very cute, and she can't help sleepy eyes on the way, calling out, "Mother, has Daddy gone to enjoy happiness?"
After coming out, I saw that Mrs. Zheng's eyes were red again.
"Hey!" Chen Guhong sighed in his heart, but he didn't say much. It's useless to talk about it now. Immediately, the three of them fell silent for a while. Chen Guhong asked Gao Zhuang in his mind: "It is rumored that today is the night of the soul, can I see Brother Zheng's soul?"
Chen Guhong continued to stay vigil with this idea. There are many mysteries in the Zheng family, and how Zheng Chong died is the primary question, if you ask Zheng Chong directly, then everything will be solved.
Gao Zhuang replied: "I don't know, the rumor is that this day is a resurrection." Then go into the yin with the bull head and horse face. But when I died, I became a lonely ghost before the first seven, although there were also bull heads and horses to detain the small, but it was already three years later. ”
"Okay. Chen Guhong didn't get the definite information and was a little disappointed. But after all, tonight is not completely over, just pick yourself up and wait for the situation.
The night was long, but it was not silent.
At least Chen Guhong listened to the crow call ten times, the call of unknown birds twice, and the frog singing, not to mention. Time passed, and he was strong and did not feel tired.
Wang Song, a born rich kid, couldn't stand it, his head was a little bit, and his eyes were sleepy, but he was able to support himself. This thing has been about righteousness since he was a child, and he doesn't want to persuade him to sleep at this time.
Chen Guhong looked at Wang Song, and then looked at Mrs. Zheng.
Old Madam Zheng's words that day, Wang Song looked at the news back today. can't help but make people think, "It's possible that Zheng Chong was angry with what he did." ”
Because he was a friend's wife, Chen Guhong was not easy to speculate, so he didn't think about it.
"How to untie the thousands of chaotic lines, let's see if Zheng Chonglu shows up. Chen Guhong thought.
The wind is blowing, and the night is walking. But there was no gust of wind, and the scholar who died unexpectedly revealed the truth to his friends, nor did he see the bull-headed horse-faced god detain the ghost and go to the underworld to see the king of Hades.
The night passed without a word.
The first day is to be buried, and the rule in Orange Town is to be buried before dawn. In folk sayings, "I'm afraid that the yang will be heavy when the day dawns, and if the soul is not detained in time and taken to the Yin Cao, I'm afraid that the soul will be scattered." ”
Although the Zheng family is poor, they also have relatives and friends, and there is still an hour before dawn, and the Zheng family is full of guests. Soon after, with the shouting of an old man, including Chen Guhong, Wang Song and Wang Song got together.
first carried Zheng Chong's coffin to the ox cart, and then blew and beat all the way to send Zheng Chong to the grave.
The ancestral grave of the Zheng family is not far away, and it will soon be there. The hole in the mound has long been dug up, and there is a stone tablet in front of the grave with two large characters written on it. "Zheng's!"
There are two lines of small characters below, one is "Chong", the other is "Ma's", and then the tomb is the next.
This is the tomb of husband and wife, and Ma should refer to Mrs. Zheng.
After the burial, relatives and friends gathered around the grave a few times, and then took off their white clothes and went back. When I arrived at Zheng's house, I ate and drank for a while, and then dispersed.
It is dust to dust, dust to dust, dust to earth.
The dead have died, and those who are alive can still remember their old people if they have a conscience, and those who have no conscience have long forgotten about them.
Therefore, the most cherished people around me should be family members and close friends, Chen Guhong and Wang Song are neither relatives nor small children, but they stayed.
The first is that he can't solve the cause of Zheng Chong's death, and the second is that he can't let go of this orphan and widow.
At this time, Chen Guhong looked at Mrs. Zheng again, this woman had just sent her husband away, her eyes were red, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her expression was desolate but it didn't seem to be a fake. On the other hand, the old lady Zheng still has no road surface.
Wang Song didn't look like this woman was a watery poplar, hooked up with a wild man, and was angry with Zheng Chong. took Chen Guhong to discuss together.
"This orphan and widow is really pitiful, we are reading the book of sages, and it is our responsibility to compensate for the declining sect and revitalize the Zheng family. We discussed with them, and if they were willing, we would let them move their families to Chengyang to live, and we would work together to raise Zheng Yuan to marry a wife and Zheng Yu to marry a man. If not, can we rebuild the house for them and leave them with food?"
Wang Song's words are not too much at all.
A benevolent and righteous reader is a real man.
There is a story in the book, in ancient times, Wang Chun and Li Shun were both readers. The two were from the same county, but they never met when they were young, and then the world was in turmoil, and the two fled to another country.
As a result, Li Shun was sick and dying, so he sent a letter to Wang Chun and entrusted him to his family.
Wang Chun rushed to the scene non-stop, but Li Shun was dead, so Wang Chun set up a grave for Li Shun, wrote a memorial message, and finally raised his wife and old age, married his son, and married his daughter.
Benevolence and righteousness are exhaustive.
Chen Guhong and the two are scholars, so they have a bit of a habit.
Chen Guhong pondered for a moment and replied: "The person has just been buried, I'm afraid that Mrs. Zheng is still sad, so it's not too late to mention it in a few days." ”
"Okay. Wang Song said.
