Chapter 17 Wake Night
The two returned to school in a little embarrassment, and found that Xiao Lin and the old people in the town were all here.

Suona was not invited, and the guilty two were told:

Principal Tang's funeral was scheduled for the next day.

Tonight is the last night of wake, it is very important!

They need to keep watch overnight.

The temporary mourning hall is in the abandoned school halfway up the mountain.

"What, the vigil will last all night?"

Juan'er's eyes widened in disbelief.

That dilapidated school, you actually want to guard there all night?

The man beside him also looked reluctant.

The old man of the Bai family took two steps forward, coughed and said:

"It's a rule for filial sons and virtuous grandsons to guard the mourning hall! People who come to the funeral also need someone to serve tea, smoke and boil water. This is etiquette! Since you are the closest relatives of Principal Tang, you must go to the mourning hall!

Unless, you are not her relatives, you can leave now! "

"We will never stop you!"

When the old people around heard this, they nodded in approval.

They don't care about other people, Principal Tang's funeral must follow Huayi Town's rules!

see,

Juan'er smiled bitterly and explained:
"Damn! You misunderstood, right? I will definitely go, don't worry about such an important matter, I will wear sackcloth and mourning tonight to guard the spirit of my aunt!"

"Are you really going?"

The man was a little surprised and blurted out the question.

Hearing this, everyone's calm expressions immediately changed.

Seeing that her husband was ignorant of the overall situation, Juan'er gave him a hard look, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice:

"Don't you see what time it is, can I not go?"

"Ah That's good!"

The old man of the Bai family nodded, and continued:
"Shouling is filial piety, and there is no room for ambiguity! If you have nothing to do, go there early and prepare!"

"Hey, we have also notified the dolls outside about Principal Tang, I hope they can catch up tomorrow!"

As I get older, tears become unbearable.

I don't want to see these old people cry, and I don't want to hear anything.

Juan'er and the man simply packed up their things, and then took the two children to the mourning hall of the abandoned school halfway up the mountain.

The road in the mountains is not easy.

Juan'er and the man were exhausted and out of breath, and had to hold two dolls.

There is a rock from time to time on the mountain road, and it is easy to slip and fall.

The man is very unhappy:
"What kind of broken roads, what kind of poor places, what kind of poor rules!? Let me tell you, you are not allowed to care about these stupid things in the future! I don't even want to come here anymore!"

"You think I want to take care of it? I never saw you so angry when you took other people's money! If you don't want the money, just leave! You have to give others a good face when you work outside, don't embarrass your old lady here!"

Juan'er retorted angrily, if it wasn't for the reasonable inheritance of her aunt's property, she would have turned around and left when she said she was guarding the mourning hall!

When I came here, I didn't know there were so many rules before the funeral.

Immediately sighed, complained:

"It's better to be in the city. After cremation and burial, it's over? If you have to keep some spirit, you're in trouble!"

"That's right, I think this mountain is quite remote. I don't know how many people will come to the funeral. There are no relatives or friends here. Those people still have to make such a big show, just standing and talking without back pain!"

The man quickly agreed, very impatient.

His words also made Juan'er think:
My aunt has no relatives or friends here, and I don't know how she has persisted for 18 years.

She didn't know how many times she walked this bumpy mountain road that both of them felt uncomfortable on the soles of their feet.

The temporary mourning hall is very simple.

The old school next to it is also ruined and slightly deserted.

When the two arrived at the scene, they found that many wreaths had been piled up on the old walls.

They come, the security.

Juan'er walked into the mourning hall, put on sackcloth and a filial scarf.

Anyway, Principal Tang is also his aunt, so he has to wear white filial hats for the two children.

Plug in the incense and kowtow reverently.

Knelt and sat on the straw mat next to the coffin.

The sky gradually darkened, and tiredness swept over the few people in the mourning hall.

Looking at the unhappy man beside her, Juan'er yawned and said sleepily:
"Anyway, no one's coming, just take a rest here for the night!"

The voice just fell,

Suddenly, two figures walked in.

It was Xiao Lin and Xiao Ai, who came to guard the spirit after they settled the matter at the school.

Soon, several figures walked in.

Even those old people during the day actually walked up the mountain road and came to this mourning hall.

Tonight is the last night of the wake, and everyone attaches great importance to it.

Seeing that the mourning hall was soon full of people, there were also people helping to boil water, handing out cigarettes, and receiving those who came to worship.

The night adds a mysterious color to the whole mountain, and also adds a bit of danger and difficulty to the way up the mountain.

despite this,

More and more people came to the mourning hall!
Everyone suppressed their sleepiness and kept vigil here for Principal Tang.

Seeing that there are gradually more people in the mourning hall, Juan'er doesn't understand:
As an ordinary principal, my aunt has stayed in this poor place for 18 years, which is already a rare thing.

Unexpectedly, in the mourning hall in the middle of the night, there would be so many people spontaneously coming to watch the mourning! ?

Even these people of the older generation, regardless of the difficulty of going up the mountain, insisted on coming to keep watch for their aunt and prepare for tomorrow's farewell.

Glancing at Xiao Ai who was depressed beside her, Juan'er suppressed her sleepiness and asked:

"Why do so many people come to guard the spirit? Is this also the rule of your Huayi Town?"

"Everyone came here spontaneously to see Principal Tang off."

Xiao Ai said in a dull voice, not wanting to talk to Juan'er.

How can a selfish person understand Principal Tang's behavior?

Those who came to the mourning hall included not only the parents of those children, but also many people who had received help from the principal.

Some of these people were from nearby villages.

Some were in other cities and rushed over overnight when they heard the news of Principal Tang's death.

After staying in this temporary mourning hall, Juan'er felt a little numb in her legs.

I want to go out and get some air.

Seeing the person serving tea, going out from time to time, outside the mourning hall for a while, she felt that the person must also be going out to breathe.

Immediately squeezed out of the mourning hall and walked outside.

Lifting the hanging curtain of the mourning hall, she raised her eyes, and suddenly her whole body trembled violently, and she froze on the spot in shock.

now,

Except in the abandoned school halfway up the mountain, in the temporary mourning hall.

More people are standing outside!
There are hundreds of people densely packed!
Seeing Juan'er come out to breathe, her husband quickly followed, and was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him!
How can there be so many people! ?
Aunt, what kind of existence is it?
The dolls had white paper flowers tied on their chests, and the adults spontaneously stayed to help receive those who attended the principal's funeral.

Serving tea, handing cigarettes, and boiling water all require manpower.

At the foot of the mountain, there are former students of the principal who are on their way~
Unlike ordinary funerals, many people came to the mourning hall, but it was not lively.

Everyone who comes here carries a sense of solemnity, grief, and nostalgia!
The night was cold and long, but at last the morning light of the next day came.

The day of President Tang's funeral came along with the rising sun
