Chapter 161: Going to the Grave
During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
On this day, Qingming arrived, and it rained Feifei.
The light drizzle came and went quickly, and after the light rain, the air was much fresher.
Zhang Yutang and Xu Jiaorong took Li Yong and A Bao, packed up some pork, chicken, incense, candles, gold paper and other things, and came to the security hall.
In the security hall, Xu Xian had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Yutang and his party coming from a distance, he did not greet him, but stood in the security hall and waited quietly.
Looking at Xu Xian, who was like a golden boy, Xu Jiaorong's face was full of brilliance, diluting a lot of the poignancy of going to the grave, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, gently smoothed out a little inconspicuous wrinkle on Xu Xian's clothes, and asked:
"It's all ready, if you're ready, let's go, when you go, remember to bring an umbrella, in case it rains, your clothes will be wet, you will suffer from the cold, you will be sick, and you will be in trouble." ”
Xu Xian said calmly:
"Thank you sister for your concern, I am also a cultivator now, and I don't care about the wind and rain yet, since everyone is here, let's go." ”
Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xian, who was empty-handed, and said:
"Brother, why didn't you prepare something, go to your father's grave, and prepare a little in general. ”
"People die like lights go out, people are dead, what is the use of preparing these things, they can't see them at all, they can't eat them, they just make a show. ”
Xu Xian sighed faintly:
"When we go to the grave, it is only to express our sorrows, but in fact, it can be of no use, and it has no effect at all; if it is really filial piety, it is better to let them have less snacks while they are alive, and let them be more happy. ”
Xu Jiaorong frowned slightly:
"Or take a little bit, everyone does this, in addition to mourning, it is also a custom, but also a little heart for the deceased, I hope that the deceased can really have a spirit in the sky, eat these tastes, if you don't take it, it will be seen, it is inevitable to be gossiped. ”
Xu Xian shook his head and said:
"Sister, go your own way, let others speak, how can you change yourself because of a few gossips from others, my generation of scholars, should act according to their hearts, not afraid of gossip. ”
Seeing that Xu Xian could not be persuaded to do so, Xu Jiaorong was speechless for a while, looked at Zhang Yutang, Zhang Yutang stepped forward and said with a smile:
"We have prepared a lot of things, Xu Xianzhun has nothing to prepare or not, let's go together." ”
Xu Jiaorong frowned slightly and walked beside Zhang Yutang, Xu Xian was noncommittal, walked calmly in the crowd, and walked towards the grave, the place of their ancestral grave is relatively far away from here, passing through the West Lake.
An avenue stretches straight without corners, and some places on the side of the road are deep old forests, with ancient trees and big birds flying around.
A group of people walked all the way, without stopping, a little distance, but also speed, and it didn't take long to rush to the cemetery.
Sou!
On the empty avenue ahead, a fishy wind was set off on the flat ground, and the wind swept the grass upside down, and it was messy.
Immediately, a snow-white tiger burst out of the thick fishy wind, the snow-white tiger has a strong appearance, a mighty momentum, thick limbs like a pillar made of steel, and the hair in the middle of the forehead is curled, condensing into a 'king' character pattern.
As soon as the tiger hit the ground, its heavy body brought up a cloud of dust, and the tiger's eyes were bright, and he looked at everyone without the slightest fear, but showed a look of help, like a person in distress, like a passer-by asking for help.
After stopping everyone, the snow-white tiger did not attack everyone, but lay on the road, slowly opening its big mouth, and a mouthful of snow-white steel teeth were arranged, like a cold and light blade.
"Tiger"
The woman's heavenly surname made Xu Jiaorong scream, and immediately subconsciously hid behind Zhang Yutang, seeing Zhang Yutang standing in place and not moving, he secretly looked at it, looking at the snow-white tiger lying docilely in the middle of the road with a bloody mouth, Xu Jiaorong was surprised for a while, walked out from behind Zhang Yutang, and asked:
"Childe, what's wrong with it, what's blocking our way?"
Zhang Yutang observed with a calm expression and said:
"This tiger is psychic, and will not deliberately harm us, and I think it should have something to ask for, so why don't I go up and see what trouble it is in. ”
Xu Jiaorong's flower is discolored:
"No, I won't allow you to go, what if there's any danger?"
Xu Xiandao:
"Brother Zhang, this is just a beast, how many spirit surnames can there be, let's not care about it, it's important to hurry up, if it dares to hurt people, kill it easily, my generation of scholars, it should be both civil and military, go hand in hand, and being able to slaughter a tiger is also a beautiful thing that can make a name." ”
"The tiger does not hurt people, why should people have the heart to hurt the tiger. ”
Zhang Yutang patted Xu Jiaorong's hand with his hand and comforted:
"Don't be afraid, if it wanted to hurt us, it would have done it a long time ago, you look at its eyes, there is a trace of cruelty and fierceness, believe me, it will be fine. ”
Oh
The snow-white tiger had already channeled, looked at Zhang Yutang gratefully, and let out a gentle tiger roar, a little tear overflowed in the tiger's eyes, and the open mouth closed slightly.
Xu Jiaorong was pleasantly surprised:
"Sure enough, there are some psychics, then you should be careful, if it is not good, quickly dodge, don't be strong. ”
"Don't worry. ”
Zhang Yutang turned around and walked towards the snow-white tiger, and said with a smile:
"This tiger brother, of course, may also be Sister Tiger, are you in any trouble, if I ask you to help, please nod, if there is no trouble, you don't need my help, just nod your head. ”
As soon as Zhang Yutang's words landed, the snow-white tiger tiger head nodded slightly, and his eyes looked at Zhang Yutang with blazing eyes, his eyes were full of gratitude.
"Okay, what's your trouble, how do you need me to help you?"
The snow-white tiger opened its mouth when he heard this, Zhang Yutang looked towards the tiger's mouth, and at the tiger's throat, a bone spur was lying horizontally, stuck in the throat......
"It turned out that the bone spur was stuck in the throat, I reached out to help you pull it out, you must bear it, don't close your mouth, otherwise my arm will be reimbursed." ”
The golden jade clothes protected his arm, Zhang Yutang slowly put his hand in, gently pulled it out, and took an inexplicable bone that was palm long and two fingers wide in his hand and threw it towards the side of the road:
"Okay, it's okay, this tiger brother or tiger sister, please leave, we're on our way. ”
Oh
The snow-white tiger looked at Zhang Yutang and looked at it a few times, the tiger's head nodded, and its forelimbs prostrate on the ground, as if a scholar kowtowed, and then clicked three times, and then let out a long roar, four hooves made wind, and ran into the deep mountains.
Seeing that Zhang Yutang saved the tiger, Xu Xian's face was a little uneasy, and he didn't speak, the four of them went to the cemetery together and offered them one by one, Xu Jiaorong looked at Dr. Xu's tombstone, and couldn't help crying and crying.
The dead are gone, what can the living do?
What is left but crying?
After visiting the graves of Dr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, the four of them turned back, and Xu Xian said:
"It's still early, I haven't been out for a long time, and I want to take this opportunity to go to West Lake for a while. ”
Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xian worriedly and said:
"Childe, why don't we go together, can you see it?"
