In such a late night, I actually came to this gloomy cemetery, and there was no one around. If you were a timid person, you would have fainted by now. But Chang Sheng and Lao Gutou are not timid people.
, now he looked around and found that there was no one there. Old Gutou unloaded farm tools such as hoes and shovels from the ox cart, then went directly to Gu Xiaomei's grave and started digging it up bit by bit.
Changsheng also took a small shovel and worked hard to dig out the slightly soft soil. Because he had just been buried, the soil on the tomb was relatively soft. Otherwise, in this early winter weather, the ground would freeze hard in a short time.
.
"Qiang, Qiang Qiang..."
The rhythmic sound of the collision of iron tools and soil sounded one after another in the silent night, as an old man and a young man stubbornly dug Gu Xiaomei's grave in the cold wind.
Lao Gutou has always remembered his little sister's last wish. She did not want to be buried with Li Zhuang, the man who always beat her during her lifetime, and she did not want to be entangled with him after her death, but this wish could not be realized in Lijia Village.
People here are more persistent and always believe that couples should be buried together. Especially since Gu Xiaomei and Li Zhuang have not reconciled, such a loving couple should naturally stay together for a long time. Because of Li Zhuang's image in front of outsiders
He has always been loyal and honest, so no one knew that he was a man who liked to beat his wife in private. When Li Da and his children grew up, due to various reasons, they could not let others know that they were addicted to alcohol.
Sex also likes to beat people's father, so this matter was kept hidden.
The younger sister, even until her death, did not want to embarrass her children, so she did not say it in front of everyone, she just said something specious, and only Lao Gutou knew what it meant. Therefore, even if she risked the world,
No matter what, he also wanted to fulfill his little sister's last wish. This man was not worthy of being buried with her.
His little sister has a weak temperament, what if she gets bullied again?
After all, Lao Gutou was old. After digging for half an hour, she still couldn't dig to the bottom. She was also panting from exhaustion. Not to mention the longevity, her body bones were not as strong as Lao Gutou. At this moment, she was leaning on her little hoe.
, gasping for breath, his eyes suddenly turned black.
Just when the old man and the young man were exhausted, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind. Lao Gutou alertly swung his shovel, and the sharp side only missed the person's neck by a hair!
Under the dim moonlight, Changsheng's sharp eyes discovered that the person coming was actually Li Da who was wearing mourning clothes!
Lao Gutou had seen him earlier than she had seen him. He was holding the shovel, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he was staring at Li Da who looked across from him with a slightly frightened look.
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely solemn for a moment, and Chang Sheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Only then did Lao Gutou slowly take back the shovel, then turned around and continued digging.
Even if Chang Sheng was ignorant of worldly affairs, she still knew that digging people's graves would be a great shame to future generations. So she stared at Li Da closely, and if he shouted loudly, she would, she would use her own
The small shovel hit him so hard that he couldn't speak!
Li Da didn't know that Chang Sheng, a seemingly well-behaved child, had such thoughts in his heart. Otherwise, he would probably be shocked.
He looked at Lao Gutou, who was hunched over digging the soil, and then at the paper money scattered around the cemetery. In the dark night, he didn't know what he was thinking. In the end, he moved slowly, starting from the cow.
He picked up a hoe from the car and helped dig the soil. After a while, one after another, all Gu Xiaomei's children quietly appeared around her grave. They didn't seem shocked by such a scene, and just silently joined in the digging.
Rows of soil.
Changsheng stood aside and watched this scene. For some reason, his eyes suddenly felt sore and a little uncomfortable. Grandma Gu, have you seen it? There are still people in this world who understand you. Everyone is like Ming Jing in their hearts. In this way,
You won't feel lonely down there, right?
With more people and greater strength, Gu Xiaomei’s coffin was dug out in just one stick of incense. According to custom, Gu Xiaomei was supposed to be buried in the same coffin as Li Zhuang, but for some unknown reason, the children of the Li family prepared a separate coffin for their own mother.
After getting the good coffin, everyone carried the coffin directly to the ox cart, then filled the grave, and silently followed the ox cart to the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the back mountain of Gujia Village.
Old Gutou had already found a location for Gu Xiaomei. At this time, he followed the trail to a flat and open space halfway up the mountain and started digging.
The soil at this time was already very hard. Without Li Da and the others, even if they dug until dawn, they probably wouldn't be able to dig a big hole. When the moon rose to the highest point in the sky, a new grave had been formed. This grave
The bag is very small. If you don't look carefully, you would almost think it is a small mound. Because there are many wild animals in Nanshan, everyone dug very deep, but now nothing can be seen.
After everything was completed, Lao Gutou stood in front of his little sister's grave and finally showed a sincere smile.
Little sister, you can see my small courtyard at the bottom of the mountain from here, so you won’t feel scared, right? I’ve long been optimistic that this place is a geomantic treasure. When next spring, a large field of light blue will bloom here.
The small colorful flowers bloom for a long time, just like a blanket, they are beautiful. Although you don’t say it, I know that you love beauty. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a place like this as your place of care?
"Wait until I die."
There was silence all around, so Lao Gutou's voice stood out. Changsheng, Li Da and others all turned their heads to look at him.
"When I die, I will be buried here."
Li Da opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. His face that he turned away was full of tears. It doesn't matter whether he was buried here. Throughout his life, my mother respected her uncle the most. She could be buried with him.
When we are together, mother won't feel scared anymore. Very good, this is very good, much better than being buried next to that man.
Only Changsheng felt scared for no reason. She wanted to say that her grandfather would not die so early, but she couldn't say it. In the end, she could only quietly hold Lao Gutou's hand. She whispered, "Then wait until I die."
, I also want to be buried here, buried with you."
Lao Gutou chuckled, but as he smiled, his eyes became sad again. He stroked Changsheng's dry hair, his eyes far away, and he didn't know what he saw through the small tomb in front of him, but his voice was low and sad.
.
"Eternal life?"
"I'm at Grandpa."
"Eternal life..."
"What's wrong, Grandpa?"
"O Changsheng, grow up quickly."
When you grow up, you can still live strong even if your loved ones die.
The breeze blew over the hills, as if all the sadness in the world had been blown away into a thin piece of paper, which was blown to pieces by the north wind in an instant.
The moon quietly peeks at the world, and seems to have stopped for this moment, shedding tears like shooting stars...
