There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 619 Funeral
The eighth day of the new year.

morning.

It's past seven.

Lin Yao finally arrived at Pengcheng, and went downstairs to the apartment where Mu Wanqing lived.

And one walked out of the car.

Lin Yao saw Mu Wanqing standing downstairs, who seemed to be independent from the world.

She was still wearing the professional suit she always wore to work.

And Mu Wanqing, who was wearing a skirt, black silk and high heels, was like wearing armor.

Although viewed from a distance, it still has a feminine softness.

But for some reason, Lin Yao always had the feeling of looking at a cold machine wearing steel armor.

"thanks."

Lin Yao thanked Xu Huan who was driving, and then walked towards Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing, who was standing still downstairs, finally reacted.

"sorry to bother you."

Mu Wanqing greeted Lin Yao, walked in front of her, and smiled gently.

His expression was the same.

Just like seeing it at work.

Lin Yao looked the girl in black silk glasses up and down, and then showed a suspicious expression.

"what happened?"

Mu Wanqing stroked the wind-blown hair from her temples, and asked in a low voice.

"I really wear black silk..."

Lin Yao smiled softly: "You don't think it's cold, it's only twelve degrees in Pengcheng today."

"No way, in order to let you accompany me, I can only do this."

Mu Wanqing burst out laughing.

Yesterday she sent a message to Lin Yao, but before she had time to regret it, Lin Yao's reply came.

Lin Yao agreed to accompany her, the only requirement was to wear black silk.

And Mu Wanqing also agreed.

"Now that I've seen it, and the price has been paid, do you want to change into more comfortable clothes?"

Lin Yao withdrew her gaze and looked at Mu Wanqing's face.

"...No, this is fine." Mu Wanqing immediately shook her head.

"That's a great sacrifice... let's go."

Lin Yao didn't force Mu Wanqing to change her clothes, she showed a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and pulled her up: "I will accompany you home."

Mu Wanqing was pulled forward, looked at Lin Yao's ponytail that swayed slightly as she moved forward, and smiled gently.

soon.

The two sat in the car.

Xu Huan started the car.

Mu Wanqing officially embarked on her way home.

Her hometown is not far from Pengcheng, it can even be said to be very close, just over two hours' drive away.

It was a small inland city located in the northeast, which belonged to the same province as Pengcheng.

Lin Yao only heard it once.

That city is called Yicheng.

Two hours.

fleeting.

In the car.

Mu Wanqing remained silent, mainly because she fell asleep as soon as she got in the car.

Leaning on Lin Yao's shoulder, she fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Yao didn't call her either, but with a little curiosity, she admired the scenery along the way.

Just started fine.

After all, small fifth-tier cities are also cities, but as time goes by, the closer they get to Mu Wanqing's hometown, the more desolate the scenery outside the window.

Lin Yao took a few photos along the way, and then told Lin Xi that she was safe, so she didn't have to worry.

And after half an hour of driving without any smoke.

A figure finally appeared outside the window.

The destination has arrived.

It was a small mountain village backed by majestic mountains.

Far away from the town, there are only a dozen families in total, and Lin Yao didn't even see a small shop.

The car stopped.

Xu Huan didn't know where to go.

And right now.

Mu Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes, and pointed to a muddy path next to her that could barely allow a car to pass.

"Turn right and go straight down."

"……it is good."

Xu Huan nodded, and then drove the car into the side road extremely steadily.

The faint sound of firecrackers came into the ears through the car window.

The wheels ran over the debris of firecrackers all over the ground, and finally saw a large drying yard and two small two-story buildings that were close to each other.

In front of the door of the small building, the couplets are very new, just pasted up.

It shows the fact that New Year's Eve has just passed.

At the same time, it also forms a strong contrast with the sheds erected on the drying yard.

The pale white shed is full of white cloth, and a bed is placed in the middle, and the white gauze separates the inside and outside of the bed.

But the wind was strong outside, and the white gauze was blown up frequently, revealing a corpse lying on the bed with its mouth covered by an egg.

In front of the shed, a huge white candle was burning.

Paper money was constantly thrown into the huge brazier.

Cigarette smoke.

Xu Huan drove the car into the drying yard.

The seven or eight middle-aged men with arms tied in white cloth standing in front of the shed all turned their heads.

The car stopped.

Mu Wanqing looked at the scene outside through the front windshield, looked at the faces looking back, and fell silent.

"Wait for me in the car."

Mu Wanqing looked ahead, and after a long time, she turned her head and looked at Lin Yao, smiling.

He didn't smile too forcefully.

On the contrary, it looks very relaxed.

Say it.

She was about to open the car door and leave.

But just as she was about to get up, Lin Yao held her hand.

Mu Wanqing turned her head.

"I am with you."

Lin Yao flicked her ponytail.

"..." Mu Wanqing shook her head, not agreeing.

But Lin Yao firmly held her hand, not letting go.

Man Wanqing was silent for a moment, then turned around and held her hand firmly, and pushed open the car door with the other hand.

The sound of wind and noisy voices filled the ears.

Seeing Mu Wanqing in professional attire.

Those middle-aged people standing in front of the temporary mourning hall showed annoyed expressions.

Man Wanqing met their eyes with a blank expression on her face.

After getting out of the car.

She let go of Lin Yao's hand, and walked towards the temporary mourning hall.

Lin Yao tied her ponytail and followed quietly.

"..."

at last.

A middle-aged man went up to greet him, and then talked to Mu Wanqing in his native dialect.

Of course Lin Yao didn't understand.

Mu Wanqing could understand, but she just looked at the other party coldly, and then said something after the other party stopped.

Calm, straightforward, merciless.

Just like when facing work in Linmu Studio.

The middle-aged man's tone gradually became agitated.

Lin Yao finally understood a word.

dad.

But Mu Wanqing no longer paid attention to the other party, walked directly to the shed, and looked at the motionless person inside through the screen window.

The wind blows the white gauze again.

The pale man inside was revealed again.

The middle-aged man seemed very angry at Mu Wanqing's ignorance, he shook his hand, turned around and walked towards the small building.

Mu Wanqing didn't respond, she just looked at the gauze blowing in the wind.

On the other hand, Lin Yao looked at it, then took out three sticks of incense from the small table, lit them on a white candle, and handed them to Mu Wanqing.

Several other relatives looked at Lin Yao strangely, but they didn't know who she was, so they couldn't talk for a while.

Mu Wanqing finally came to her senses, she looked at Lin Yao who handed the incense to her, said a word of thanks in a low voice, then reached out to take the incense, and bowed towards the mourning hall.

Insert the incense.

then.

She casually grabbed a stack of paper money and threw it into the fire tray, then walked aside.

There were no tears, not many expressions, and if Lin Yao hadn't reminded her, she would have even forgotten to offer incense.

And finally.

She just did the bare minimum that needed to be done.

Even if the one lying in the shed is her biological father.

Several middle-aged men couldn't help shaking their heads.

But they didn't seem to be as close as the first middle-aged man with Mu Wanqing, and they didn't say anything.

then.

The middle-aged man who left in a fit of anger reappeared, handed a posthumous photo to Mu Wanqing, and said something.

Then she didn't wait for Mu Wanqing to react.

He turned around, greeted the others, lifted the white cloth, and moved the body into the coffin.

At the same time, behind Lin Yao.

A pickup truck drives in...

Mu Wanqing held the posthumous photo, didn't even look at the person in the photo, just mechanically turned the photo over, and then looked into the distance.

……

Cremation, burial, and feasting of guests.

The vigil is exempted.

Keep it simple.

Mu Wanqing participated in the first two sessions.

Holding the photo of the deceased, she sent the body to be cremated.

Then he followed the team and buried his father's ashes deep in the mountains.

And Lin Yao stayed with her all the time.

Xu Huan wanted to speak several times, but Lin Yao stopped them.

Lin Yao has been standing next to Mu Wanqing, accompanying her to complete all the steps.

Come down from the mountain.

A group of people are going back to eat.

But after Mu Wanqing came down from the mountain, she didn't go back with the flow of people, but grabbed Lin Yao's wrist, let the others leave first, and took Lin Yao to another direction.

Lin Yao glanced at the flow of people, then followed Mu Wanqing and walked forward.

The two walked through the ridges of the field, and then came to a small stream.

Mu Wanqing took Lin Yao for a distance by the creek, then stopped suddenly, picked off some unknown vegetation similar to pomelo leaves, and walked around Lin Yao while sweeping her back and forth.

There were still words in his mouth.

"The bad luck fades away."

Lin Yao: "..."

She looked at the serious Mu Wanqing, she didn't struggle, but let her complete the ceremony.

Mu Wanqing circled around Lin Yao, scanned it carefully, and then scanned her limbs.

At last.

She looked at Xu Huan who was on the side.

Xu Huan shook his head: "I don't believe this."

Mu Wanqing didn't force it either.

Xu Huan glanced at the two of them and thought for a while: "I'll go for a stroll in front, if you need anything, just call me."

"it is good."

Lin Yao smiled at her, and continued, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xu Huan nodded, then walked forward, and quickly disappeared from sight.

And Mu Wanqing also dropped the branch, and turned to look across the creek.

"Lin Yao."

Mu Wanqing looked at the scenery across the creek for a while, and suddenly called out to Lin Yao who was beside her.

"Ok?"

"I used to graze cattle here, do you believe it?"

Mu Wanqing turned her head, with a faint smile on her face, and asked.

"Ah?" Lin Yao was stunned.

"It's on the opposite side. It can't be seen in winter now, but there are quite a lot of grass there in spring and summer."

Mu Wanqing said softly: "When I was in elementary school, the first thing I did after school every day was to pull out my cows with other peers, and then go to the opposite side to let them graze, while I sat on the grass and played. Stone……"

"...It's hard to imagine."

Lin Yao glanced at Mu Wanqing who was wearing a professional suit beside her, and said from the bottom of her heart.

"It's actually quite happy."

Mu Wanqing said with a smile: "No one cares about me, as long as the cow is not lost, then the time belongs to me. Although it sounds ugly, this is indeed my happiest time."

"Ah."

Lin Yao looked at Mu Wan's fair and fair side face, then nodded slightly.

"Unfortunately, this kind of time didn't last long. I was in the sixth grade, probably in the sixth grade."

Mu Wanqing whispered: "The cow was sold, it seems to be sold for 2000 yuan, and I can't come out, after all, I can't let myself go. At that time, I can only stay at home after school..."

Speaking of which.

Mu Wan paused for a moment, then said with a gentle smile: "It's hard to be happy at home...but I can see Quan Wu Xing, one accuses the other party of gambling, and gave away the 2000 yuan that the cow sold before it was warmed up. , and the other accused the other party of stealing, and was vague about who he was with... Then he pulled his hair and punched the other party in the face, it was really lively."

Lin Yao: "..."

"Of course, after all, they are husband and wife, and sometimes they can reach a consensus."

Mu Wanqing looked across Xiaoxi again: "For example, when facing me, both of them thought it was useless for a girl to study, and they were ready to let me go to work a long time ago. Even when they graduated from junior high school, they even found a husband for me. up.

As for the small mountain village, it doesn't matter if you say it's ignorant, or it doesn't matter if you say it's really poor. In short, the matter is settled like this.

Of course, I disagreed, and then the two of them began to talk to each other... One said that I had no conscience and cried, and the other punched me hard. At that time, my face was so swollen that I didn't dare to go out. "

"……never mind."

Lin Yao suddenly went around to Mu Wanqing, held her face in her hands, and said sullenly, "You better stop talking, I don't really want to hear it."

Mu Wanqing looked at the serious look on the girl's face in front of her, and smiled lightly: "Although it sounds uncomfortable, it's actually okay after it's over, and I don't mind long ago."

"I mind."

Lin Yao pursed her red lips, and then repeated: "I mind."

"...Actually, my story in my hometown ends here."

Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then took Lin Yao's hand holding her face, pulled her to sit on the grass, and said with a gentle smile: "The next thing is the story of my life in another place, but speaking of it It's really uncomfortable, sorry, I was negligent."

"It's all over, isn't it?"

Lin Yao clasped her fingers tightly and whispered.

"Yes."

Mu Wanqing nodded lightly: "It's all over... I'm just feeling a little bit emotional. The one who talked to me just now is my father's brother. I should call him uncle. You can see that he is very dissatisfied with me , because I don't even care about my father's death.

Of course, it may also be because my mother died last time, and I didn't pay much attention to it, so he was a little bit resentful.

After all, in the traditional concept, no matter what, the deceased is the greatest, and the other party raised me, even if I am hypocritical, my attitude needs to be beyond reproach.

But I really can't do it... Don't talk about tears, I didn't even feel sad just now. "

"After all, a gambling dog and a vitriolic shrew, neither of them brought me anything."

Mu Wanqing calmly commented on her parents: "I don't agree to get married, so the two of them asked me to work part-time. They asked me to send money to them every month. In order to make up enough tuition and money for them, I'm almost at my wit's end.

At that time, they didn't say that I was working too hard, so I didn't have to send money. Not only that, but the two of them asked for more and more... My uncle probably knew about it, but he didn't say anything at the time. , Now how can I say that the other party has at least raised me. "

"When I was a freshman, my acrimonious mother passed away, and my dog-gambler father even asked me to pay for the burial. Why didn't he mention these things? Instead, he remembered that I came back one day late.

I'm just wondering, is it true that as long as people die, everything they do will disappear? "

"..."

Lin Yao sighed.

"I really thought about it at the time. When my bitter mother passed away, I thought about what the couple brought me. My life, let me know that poverty, marriage and men are all original sins, let me only want to make money, nothing else."

Mu Wanqing shook her head lightly, then turned her head away, looked at Lin Yao next to her again, and asked, "Lin Yao, you should still remember? When we first met, you asked if you could push forward with the plan At that time, I asked you if you could let me climb up again... At that time, I really wanted to make money, a lot of money, so much that I didn't have to worry about it anymore, so much that I could feel at ease...

And the failure of the project, I was really not reconciled, very reconciled, I was probably already sick at that time. "

"I don't think it's necessary to be sick. Your tone at the time... It didn't look like you were sick, but it seemed to be a posturing, trying to explain the risks to me clearly."

Lin Yao disagreed with her statement.

Mu Wanqing smiled lightly: "Only you would think this way, and only you would think so... I was really extreme at the time, when I was kicked out of the second development department, I really thought about dying with Chen Nuo. "

"...?" Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing in surprise.

"real."

Mu Wanqing nodded, and said quite seriously: "If you hadn't come to me, I would have really considered it. After all, I really want to make money, and I am afraid of losing what I got at the time...Of course, this is all in the past. Like you just said, it's over."

"Then it was the days we spent together."

"I finally got the money and status I dreamed of."

"The general manager of Linmu Studio, with an annual salary of tens of millions."

"And after I have these, gradually, I no longer only think about making money, and I am no longer extreme. I only think about one thing... To a certain extent, Linmu Studio is indeed magical."

Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao's side face, and smiled again: "Since last year, perhaps because of the time I was in Linmu Studio, I gradually let go of my obsessions, and I began to rethink family The significance of thinking about what my parents brought me...

Of course, I still feel that they did not bring me many useful things, but I admit that they did give birth to me... I thought at the time, in a few years, when I don't mind so much, I will return home once, Let them see how well the girl who couldn't wait to send her away is living now.

But all of this was over before it happened... He actually died outside because he was drunk, ha, this is too ugly. "

Mu Wanqing slowly put away the smile on her face, looked forward again, and tightened her red lips: "It's really... so ugly."

　I'm sorry, I'll post it later...it's too late to get off work
