My voice was not loud, but because I was now the center of attention, almost everyone in the mourning hall heard what I said, including the boy who was blowing bubbles.
As soon as I finished speaking, the thug quickly walked over without hesitation, but just as the thug was about to approach the boy, two strong men stood in front of the thug.
With them standing in their way, our brothers from the Hongxiang Society have given up. This is the territory of our Hongxiang Society. If someone comes to cause trouble, it means destroying the place of our Hongxiang Society. In addition, today is the day of our community festival, brothers.
There was a sense of grief and anger in their hearts, so the brothers all surrounded him with a "wow" sound.
Now the boy blowing bubbles and the two strong men were frightened and couldn't help but gather together.
I asked Gu Qingfeng next to me: "Who is that person?"
Gu Qingfeng said: "The people on the other side of the boundary river, Zou Jun, the son of Boss Zou. Zou Jun seems to be sick and can't get over, so he sent his son to represent him..."
I waved my hand to interrupt Gu Qingfeng and said, "No need to say any more, just throw them all out."
Gu Qingfeng nodded and said to the brothers who were surrounding us: "Throw it out."
So my brothers stepped forward and subdued the three of them instantly. The boy who blew the bubbles said angrily: "You dare to touch me, I am Zou Jun's son!"
No one paid attention to him, and my brothers ignored his shouts and grabbed these three people and dragged them downstairs. The bosses of several other surrounding counties and cities also sighed for a while, and I heard someone whispering:
"Zou Jun is in big trouble this time, and his son is really proud of him."
Another person answered from the side: "Zou Jun has always been the dominant one in Jiehe's family and is used to being arrogant. It is probably because of this that his son did what he did just now."
"Jiehe? Can it be compared with Xingzhou? Not even a single district in Xingzhou can compare with it. Hey, it's like a frog in the well."
"..."
Zou Jun's son was dragged downstairs, and the mourning hall became quiet again.
It's still some time before our memorial activities start, so I go to the families of the deceased brothers and say "thank you" and "sorry" to each of them.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the sacrifice activities to begin, and the entire Shengchang Street was first plunged into a period of deep sorrow and joy.
I stood at the front of the crowd, Lu Xiaoyu stood on my left, Wang Bin was supported by a civet cat and stood on my right, followed by the family members of the deceased brothers, then the leaders of our Hongxiang Society, and then
From now on, there will be our members of the Hongxiang Club, various gangsters, and the bosses of various county-level cities.
After the performance was over, I took the lead in picking up a red incense stick from the table nearby, then lit it on the candle, and then said: "The sacrificial ceremony begins, light the red incense club."
At this time, everyone in the mourning hall held a red incense stick in their hands and distributed it, and people who were lighting it were holding them close. They went over and lit all the red incense sticks in their hands, of course, except for the family members of the deceased.
them.
It took about five or six minutes to light the red incense sticks in the hands of more than 300 people in the entire mourning hall.
During this period of time, I was at the front holding the stick of red incense, closing my eyes tightly and saying nothing.
When I felt that almost everyone's red incense had been lit, I continued: "Sacrifice the heroic spirit! Bow!"
Everyone slowly bent down following my rhythm.
"Two bows!"
"Three bows!"
After bowing three times, I said: "After the ceremony, burn incense!"
After saying that, I was the first to put the incense in my hand into the incense burner on the table in front of the deceased brothers.
Then Lu Xiaoyu, Wang Bin, Civet Mao, and many of my brothers began to come forward one by one to offer incense.
This process took almost twenty minutes to complete.
After everyone finished offering incense, the family members of the deceased were in tears, and many brothers in the Hongxiang Society were also in tears.
Then there was a short memorial ceremony in the house, and I announced that I would start patrolling the streets.
The so-called street patrol is to take these dead brothers along the same road they walked before they were alive, so that they can go on the road with peace of mind and no worries.
More than a dozen hearses slowly set off from the mourning hall, and then drove at an extremely slow speed on Shengchang Street, from south to north, and then from north to south.
There were many people watching on the street, but most of them didn't know what was going on and were just watching the fun.
When it was almost 11:45, we ended our patrol activities on Shengchang Street. The car drove out of Shengchang Street and then headed towards the east crematorium. There were other family members of the deceased.
Vehicles were sent to the east crematorium in batches.
On the way to the crematorium in the east of the city, the thugs drove Yang Tu, and Lu Xiaoyu and I followed closely behind the hearses.
After the car drove for a while, Lu Xiaoyu took my arm and said to me: "Yifeng, those brothers must be able to feel your thoughts. I believe their souls can rest in peace in heaven."
I said calmly: "I hope so."
The car drove for a while, and my cell phone rang. It was Ouyang Qing. Obviously he should have arrived in Xingzhou. After I answered the phone, I heard Ouyang Qing say: "Yi Feng, I have arrived in Xingzhou. You
Tell me the specific address and I'll be there right away."
I told Ouyang Qing: "Just wait at the exit of the train station. I have arranged for my brothers to pick you up at the train station. They will call you later."
After hanging up the phone, I called my brothers near the train station and told them Ouyang Qing's phone number and asked them to pick up the group of people directly to the crematorium in the east of the city.
The hearse was not moving very fast. By the time we arrived at the crematorium in the east of the city, it was already half past twelve. We held a simple cremation ceremony here, and then arranged a simple meal for everyone, followed by a formal cremation ceremony.
, starting from the Violent Rat, the cremations of the brothers who passed away were started in sequence.
When the cremation ceremony began, Ouyang Qing and his group had already arrived at the hall at the crematorium. However, our ceremony was in progress, so they did not disturb me. Instead, they stood at the back of the hall and waited quietly.
The end of our ceremony.
When the ceremony was over and the body of the rat was pushed away for cremation, Wang Bin, myself, and the civet cat all burst into tears and burst into tears!
Seeing me crying, Lu Xiaoyu next to me was also moved by the scene and burst into tears. I knew that she probably didn't have much sadness in her heart. Her crying was completely driven by my emotions.
When the rat rat ceremony was over, more than ten people came to the door of the hall. Listening to the chaotic footsteps, I was stunned for a moment, and then I looked back. The ones walking at the front were Zhao Ziyang and Qin Yong, followed behind.
Ma Long, Yu Zhi, Zhang Fan, Ah Kuan, the brothers who held the sword with me at school, they also joined the Hongxiang Club early on, and they are our brothers in the Hongxiang Club.
"Crazy brother!" Zhao Ziyang took the lead and called me.
I frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Ziyang said: "Brother Crazy, we are all from the Hongxiang Society. How can such an important ceremony be without us?"
After saying that, he and the brothers behind him began to bow to the remains of the deceased brothers.
After bowing, Zhao Ziyang and his brothers did not speak anymore, but stood aside quietly without disturbing the continuation of the entire ceremony.
Several furnaces in the crematorium were turned on at the same time, and it was not until about six o'clock in the afternoon that my brothers were finally cremated, and our sacrificial ceremony finally came to an end.
At night, the family members of the deceased took the ashes of their loved ones home and were escorted home by our brothers from the Hongxiang Society.
After this busy day, many brothers were very tired, so I asked the brothers to disperse. The elders who came to participate in the ceremony had long wanted to leave. After I announced the end, they came to me to be polite.
He said hello and left.
However, the leaders of our Hongxiang Society, my brothers at school, and Ouyang Qing did not leave.
We sat down in the ceremony hall of the crematorium, and Ouyang Qing came over to greet me: "Yi Feng, I see that you have been busy all day, and I didn't expect that at this point, I would have time to talk to you again."
I said: "Sorry."
Ouyang Qing shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize to me. You can do this yourself, which is rare in Taoism. Yi Feng, I admire you."
I took a deep breath and said nothing.
At this time, I also looked at Ouyang Qing's group. There were seven people in total, including himself, Yao Peipei, and four strong bodyguards. There was also an old man wearing a black Chinese tunic suit and glasses. His hair was gray.
I don’t know what kind of role he plays next to Ouyang Qing.
Ouyang Qing noticed that I was looking at the old man, so he said to me: "His name is Yang Lin. He is a master of antiquities identification in central Shaanxi. I asked him to help me when I went to the Northeast this time."
It seems that this old man is not Ouyang Qing's subordinate.
The old man known as Yang Lin smiled lightly and said: "I followed Mr. Ouyang to broaden my horizons. With this action, I will have no regrets in my life."
At this point, I could also guess that Ouyang Qing's trip to the Northeast this time was probably related to reselling antiques. I was not interested in these things, so I didn't ask in detail.
At this time, Yao Peipei also came over to greet me: "Yi Feng, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
I nodded. At this time, Yao Peipei was wearing the same dress as the one I saw on the train, a black dress, but her hair was a little longer than when I saw her before.
I casually asked Yao Peipei why she came to Xingzhou with Ouyang Qing, and Yao Peipei said that she had resigned from the Geological Bureau and was now working under Ouyang Qing.
It seems that there is a secret thing between Yao Peipei and Ouyang Qing that I don't know about. I will ask the truth when I have time. As for now, it is really inappropriate.
