On the first night of the death of the Shen family's grandfather, Shen Yi sat in the mourning hall all night. He was so tired, but he couldn't sleep, and watched the incense candle in front of him burn in a hurry, and finally turned into nothingness. He didn't understand why all this was so sudden, why Sister Xiancao wanted to break away from the Shen family, and why the always strong grandfather would die suddenly, he sat in the mourning hall, and his whole eyes were listless.

At three o'clock in the morning, the housekeeper of the Shen family came behind Shen Yi and said to Shen Yi, "Young Master, someone is here." ”

Shen Yi was weak and said, "What kind of person." ”

The housekeeper didn't speak, but Shen Yi heard a voice he was very familiar with: "Shen Yi." ”

Shen Yi turned his head and saw a figure that made him want to cry, He Lan.

I saw He Lan wearing a blue dress, standing there with a shadow, looking like an unreal person. The housekeeper glanced at Shen Yi's reaction and turned to leave. He Lan dropped the suitcase in her hand, walked up to Shen Yi, and hugged Shen Yi, she didn't speak, and Shen Yi didn't speak.

The candlelight was flickering, and there were still countless grief in people's hearts, but with the arrival of He Lan, Shen Yi was finally injected with a booster.

Shen Yi asked He Lan: "Why do you want to come over?"

He Lan said: "When I woke up in the morning, I felt that something was going to happen, that is, a feeling, an inexplicable feeling. Then I returned to Chuncheng, found the address of Shenjiatun, and took a shuttle bus to go there, but there was a snowstorm in Chuncheng, and the road was blocked. ”

Shen Yi looked at He Lan and reached out to touch her beautiful face.

He Lan said, "I'll go and put a stick of incense on my grandfather." ”

Shen nodded, and He Lan took out a stick of incense. Lit, inserted in the incense burner in front of the coffin, she didn't know what to do. She has established a position that she can never shake, he is the first woman to incense Shen Yi, and he is also the first woman to rush to Shen Jiatun. In the book "White Empire", He Lan is described, but his name is not mentioned, and only one sentence is used on it: such a bewitching woman is rare in the world.

......

It seemed that the sky would not dawn, and when the earth had just revealed a glimmer of light, a black cloud came to the village. The entire Shenjiatun was shrouded in darkness, and the heavy rain was pouring down, as if it was the rain thirty years ago, and it was going to wash all of Shenjiatun clean. But that year, Shenjiatun was all straw houses, and now Shenjiatun has already become a city of steel cages.

Heavy rain has flooded the entire city, and although Shenjiatun's urban drainage system is very good, there are still 30 centimeters of water on the roads, making it impossible for people to pass at all, and even some low-lying areas are impassable for vehicles. The candlelight above the Shen Family Spiritual Hall swayed and ethereal in the torrential rain, as if it was going to be extinguished at any time, but every time it could be stubbornly revived.

The housekeeper came to Shen Yi and said, "Young master, what do you think of the arrangement for the burial in three days?"

Shen Yi said, "You can arrange it." ”

The housekeeper left without much nonsense.

Waking the spirit was a painful thing, Shen Yi sat in front of the coffin for a day and a night, and saw many people who came to visit the grandfather. But Shen Yi didn't cry, not because Shen Yi was unfilial, but sometimes not crying can represent a kind of pain.

He remembered the days when this old man bought sugar gourds for himself, he remembered the days when this old man taught him to play chess, he remembered the bits and pieces that this old man gave him, and the previous scenes were as vivid as yesterday's reappearance, but he only didn't remember the scene that he remembered very clearly, and he remembered the little girl who was holding his hand.

That face was frighteningly blurry.

As it turns out, Changchun is much closer than Seattle.

At twelve o'clock the next night, when the pouring rain still did not abate.

Wu Xiancao, back.

She didn't have an umbrella, and no one accompanied her, kneeling at the door of Shen's house, Shen Yi ignored her, no one helped her, the door of Shen's house was still closed, only the two white lanterns hanging in front of the door revealed a little light reflected on her face, and the rain flowed down her cheeks and soaked her clothes. She knelt from twelve o'clock in the evening to eight o'clock in the morning.

At eight o'clock, she stood up, glanced at the words 'Shen family' on the plaque hanging high above the gate of the Shen family, and she turned to leave.

Maybe you remember, maybe you forget.

The original medical family, the Shen family and the Wu family. Twenty years later, there was only one Shen family left, but the Wu family was gone. She Wu Xiancao is the only heir of the Wu family, she does not have peerless medical skills, but she has an invisible scheming, although this scheming has never been used on Shen Yi's body.

Wu Xiancao sat in the car, not wiping the water stains on his body, not changing his clothes, when the car arrived in Spring City, it was already night. When she got off the highway, she saw a girl standing on the side of the road, the girl was holding a big black umbrella, and she was anxiously taking a taxi.

......

After Fairy Wu arrived in Spring City, it happened to be night. The station has already been closed, and it is raining heavily in Shenjiatun, so there are no cars willing to go there at all. Fairy Wu finally found a hitchhiker, and took a hitchhike to a township near Shenjiatun, thirty kilometers away from Shenjiatun.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and she looked at the still pouring rain and took a deep breath. With a big black umbrella, he walked in the direction of Shenjiatun one deep and one shallow. The rain was very heavy, but there was still a dirt road on this section of the road, Fairy Wu was still wearing high heels, and soon the roots of the high heels were broken, she simply took off her shoes, and walked barefoot to Shenjiatun.

At dawn, she arrived at Shenjiatun. At this time, she is like a clay figure, no longer beautiful, no longer enchanting, but still a fairy.

It's like a fairy born from a lotus flower.

......

When Wu Xiancao knelt in front of the Shen family, Shen Yi already knew the truth.

At that time, he was meditating in front of the coffin, and He Lan came over and told Shen Yi the news.

Shen Yi just said lightly: "Let her kneel." ”

Subsequently, the housekeeper of the Shen family also came to intercede with Shen Yi.

Shen Yi said again: "The door is not locked, if she wants to come in, just push the door open, why should I invite her? Is she wrong, or am I wrong?"

The butler said no more.

And when Fairy Wu appeared in front of Shen's house, Shen Yi was standing at the door waiting for her, and when she saw Fairy Wu who was like a clay figure, Shen Yi pulled Fairy Wu to him and said, "Wait for you to come back and take a look at the master." ”

Fairy Wu squeezed out a smile and looked at Shen Yi, and said, "Little Shen Yi is strong." ”

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but at this moment, Shen Yi actually showed a smile.

Sometimes, sadness doesn't need to cry, it needs to smile. Because that's how you can show strength.

......

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the rain in Shenjiatun for three days finally stopped.

But there was still winter thunder rolling in the sky, as if something was going to happen. At eight o'clock in the morning, the group walked out of the Shen family's mansion, did not wear linen and filial piety, did not cry and shout, the man was in a black suit, the woman ** Tsing Yi, Shen Yi walked in the front, He Lan and Shen Yi walked side by side, and Fairy Wu followed behind the two. Where the coffin passed, countless villagers gathered on both sides of the road, watching this historical scene belonging to Shenjiatun.

Maybe the Shen family grandfather has received many titles and praises in his life, but five years ago, he put down all his affairs and only lived in Shenjiatun. And now when the funeral came, none of the people who had treated him as a god appeared.

When the coffin appeared at the entrance of Shenjiatun Village, a woman dressed in big black appeared there, and as soon as Shen raised his head, he saw An Yanghui.

An Yanghui walked up to Shen Yi, took the funeral flag in Shen Yi's hand, and walked in the front.

Everything is so easy and not pretentious at all.

The cemetery of the Shen family is in a low-lying area, which is the cemetery chosen by the old man before his death. Shen Yi had never been here, but when Shen Yi saw this cemetery at this time, he suddenly felt that this cemetery was not good for the master. Fairy Wu frowned even more and said: "The cemetery should be chosen as the rising sun, the place with the shade, only in this way can it be regarded as a blessed land, but this ......"

An Yanghui said: "Let's bury it, this is chosen by yourself, and you can bless all the descendants of the Shen family." ”

As soon as Shen Yi wanted to disagree, An Yanghui scolded sharply: "Buried." ”

At this moment, no one raised any objections.

At the moment of burial, the winter thunder descended in an instant, and everyone felt a cold wind coming. However, just as the iron pin poured the first wave of earth on it, the sun, which had been covered by dark clouds, cast a ray of sunlight on the tomb through the dark clouds, and almost everyone was shocked. No one saw it, Fairy Wu closed his eyes and put his hand in front of him, as if a god had descended.

On the tombstone of the Shen family's grandfather, there is only one sentence: All the honors and disgraces of Shen Congzhi's tomb during his lifetime have turned into a wisp of green smoke, and with the passing of life, only one name is left, and all those names cannot be taken away. For example, the so-called Lang Evil Immortals. The funeral personnel all left before and after, leaving only Shen Yi, He Lan, Wu Xianzi, and An Yanghui.

He Lan's eyes were red and he wanted to cry.

But Shen Yi said: "Don't cry, my grandfather said that you can't cry after you die, that is bad luck, death is something that everyone has to face, and being able to die is a relief." ”

Fairy Wu took a deep breath, An Yanghui couldn't hold back any longer, and said with tears in her eyes: "Relief?

Shen Yi stepped forward to help An Yanghui and said, "Grandma An Yang, my grandfather said something to me the night before he died, I didn't remember it at that time, but now I remember it." ”

An Yanghui raised her head and looked at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi said: "He said that the person he is most sorry for in his life is you." ”
