Because I had been sleeping for a while before, and now that I had experienced the hadron incident, I no longer felt any sleepiness.
I looked at Meng Shiyu for a while, and then I sat back in front of the brazier.
Just sitting quietly in front of the fire, time passed slowly and unconsciously, and soon there was a crowing of cocks outside.
It was getting cold, so I stood up and stretched. Grandpa put a yellow talisman on Qiangzi’s body and put it back into the coffin.
Qiangzi's body has undergone transformation and cannot be buried under any circumstances. The body must be burned with fire. Otherwise, the risk is too great.
I walked outside, but I didn't see my grandpa. I called grandpa softly a few times, but no one responded to me.
Grandpa has always been elusive. Now I call him and he doesn’t reply to me. I think he has gone home!
"Dongfang, how did you sleep last night?" Uncle Li slowly walked towards me with a big bag in his hand.
I smiled and said to Uncle Li, "It's okay. I slept well last night."
While I was talking, Uncle Li had already walked up to me, "I have prepared a set of washing supplies for you and your girlfriend Meng Shiyu. Your aunt has already prepared breakfast. You guys should wash up and go back after breakfast."
Have a good rest, we really worked hard on you last night."
I took the toiletries from Uncle Li. Uncle Li was quite thoughtful.
"Uncle Li, thank you!"
"It's okay, these are all things I should do." Uncle Li blinked, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Dongfang, did anything happen here last night? Did the ghost of Qiangzi show up?
What did I say to you?"
I sighed softly, "Uncle Li, you must be mentally prepared!"
Uncle Li opened his eyes wide and asked, "Did the ghost of Qiangzi really appear?"
"No." I shook my head. "What I want to tell you is that the hadron faked his corpse."
Then I briefly told Uncle Li what happened last night.
"Uncle Li's situation is very critical now. Qiangzi's body must not be buried. It must be burned."
"This...how can this be done?" Uncle Li said in a dilemma, "According to the rules of our ancestors, the body must be buried in the ground after death. How can it be burned?"
In fact, cremation has long been popular in China over the years, but the traditional concepts are deeply rooted here, and people in Zhaojiacun and its surrounding villages still choose to find a nearby place to bury the body after death."
I patiently advised, "Uncle Li, Qiangzi's body has been transformed. If you insist on burying Qiangzi's body, no matter where Qiangzi's cemetery is chosen, or how good the feng shui is, continue."
The transformation into a zombie is certain. Hadron turns into a zombie without any thoughts. This is definitely something you don’t want to see, right? And if this thing comes true, we in Zhaojiacun will continue to die.
"
After I finished speaking, I looked at Uncle Li quietly. After all, the person who died was Uncle Li's biological son. The final decision was still in Uncle Li's hands.
It can be seen from Uncle Li's face that he must be having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart at this moment.
"Okay!" Finally, Uncle Li nodded firmly, "Everything is up to you. I originally planned to bury Hadron behind my house, but now that you have said that you want to be cremated, I will contact the crematorium.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Li!" Just when Uncle Li was about to turn around, I stopped him. "You can't send Qiangzi's body to the crematorium."
"Why?" Uncle Li looked at me puzzled, "You didn't say you wanted to cremate Qiangzi's body. I'm going to contact the fire place now. Why did you stop me? Many people die every day.
If we were later, Qiangzi's body would have to be cremated later. Since Qiangzi's body has already undergone transformation, shouldn't it be as soon as possible?"
"Uncle Li, you misunderstood me!" I slowly explained, "It is true that Qiang Zi'e's body must be cremated, but it cannot be sent to the crematorium."
"Qiangzi had already faked his body last night, but was temporarily restrained by my grandfather's yellow charm, so there was no danger. If we want to send Qiangzi's body to the crematorium, the road conditions in our Zhaojia Village are not very good.
, if the bumps of the car on the way shake off the yellow talisman on Hadron's body, there will be big trouble. So now you go find some gasoline, and then find an open space, and we will burn Hadron's body as soon as possible.
"
After hearing this, Uncle Li nodded blankly, "Okay, I'll go find some gasoline and matches now. After the banquet at noon, I'll find someone to burn Qiangzi's body."
Uncle Li is like this. Although he was hesitant at the beginning, now that he has made a decision, he acts vigorously and resolutely.
I nodded and watched Uncle Li leave.
I had just agreed with Uncle Li, but I still couldn't let go. I secretly decided that before cremating Qiangzi's body, I would put some thought into Qiangzi's body today.
I turned around and planned to walk inside, but when I turned around I saw Meng Shiyu standing in front of the door.
"Meng Shiyu, are you awake?" I shouted happily.
"Well..." Meng Shiyu nodded, then walked up to me with a smile.
Meng Shiyu's complexion looks very good, she must have slept well yesterday.
I handed the toiletries in my hand to Meng Shiyu, "These are the toiletries that Uncle Li prepared for us. Go and wash them quickly! You can eat soon. After eating, you can go home and have a good rest."
Meng Shiyu nodded, hesitated for a while and then asked me with a smile, "Last night, when I was sleeping, I seemed to hear you say something in front of me, but I was sleepy at the time. What exactly did you say? I
I didn’t hear it clearly, can you tell me more now?”
Meng Shiyu's words immediately reminded me of what I said last night, "If you don't let me down, I won't let you down either."
Now that Meng Shiyu took the initiative to tell me about this matter, I don’t know if she really didn’t hear it clearly, or because she heard it clearly, so she wanted me to say it again.
I hesitated and said, "You must have heard wrong last night. I didn't say anything."
Then without giving Meng Shiyu a chance to say anything else, I pushed Meng Shiyu away, "You just woke up, you'd better go wash up quickly!"
Meng Shiyu was suddenly pushed far away by me, and then I quickly ran into the house.
After entering the room, I could clearly feel that my face was warm. Even without looking in the mirror, I could tell that my face was very red now.
Just kidding, I could still say those words when there was no one around. Now that a living person is standing in front of me, how can I say those sea of affectionate words?
Then I washed up, because I couldn't worry about the hadron in the coffin, so I didn't leave the room, but asked Uncle Li to bring breakfast.
After having breakfast with Meng Shiyu, Meng Shiyu originally wanted to stay with me, but I firmly disagreed. In the end, she had no choice but to go home.
I don't agree with Meng Shiyu staying, mainly for two reasons. First, she stayed with me all night yesterday. If she doesn't go back now, I'm worried that her family will be worried.
Although I have a clear conscience and haven't done anything, Meng Shiyu is a girl after all. If I don't go back for a long time, rumors will come out. In fact, I am also worried that Meng Tao will be dissatisfied with me because of this matter.
.
I have made plans to stay together with Meng Shiyu forever, and of course I cannot let my "future father-in-law" be dissatisfied with me in any way.
Another reason is that we will send Qiangzi's body for cremation later. The girl's body is too yin-y, and it is not suitable to be present in such an occasion.
After Meng Shiyu left, I continued to sit alone in the room.
Fortunately, it is already dawn, and many people have come to Uncle Li's house. Many people from Zhaojiacun who I know will come over and chat with me, which makes me not so bored.
