Northern Myanmar, the hell on earth I experienced

But Brother Hao understood what I wanted to say and said:

"This should be the last time."

"Oh!"

After arriving at the earth temple, Brother Hao glanced at the still burning earthen jar in front of the earth temple with some doubts.

Then he turned around and looked around.

Said to himself:

"Didn't I tell you today that no one can come here? Has Alang forgotten?"

Brother Hao put down the big bag of paper money in his hand and called Alang.

"Alang, who has been to the Earth Temple today?"

"Don't know? Check it out for me. Didn't I tell you in advance? No one is allowed to come here today."

"Looking at the surveillance, I want to know who is ignoring my words."

After hanging up the phone, Brother Hao didn't rush to click the paper, but was a little excited. He must have made a special confession on such a special day today.

Because today is Shi Keke's death anniversary, he is the only one who can come to the Tu Temple today. This day could only belong to him or to Coco, but when he arrived, he found that someone had already arrived, so he naturally felt very uncomfortable.

Brother Hao lit a cigarette for himself and started smoking.

After waiting for a while, Alang called.

Brother Hao directly turned on the hands-free and put it on the stone table aside, then squatted down to sort out the paper money.

"Found out."

"who."

"Brother Tong has been there."

"When?"

"Just now."

"Okay, got it."

After Brother Hao hung up the phone, he let out a long sigh.

"This boy is deliberately trying to get in trouble with me."

After hearing what Brother Hao said, I quickly advised:

"Maybe he also wants to come over and burn some paper for Sister Coco!"

"Today is not only the death anniversary of Coco, but also the death anniversary of the general's late wife. He is clearly here to disgust me."

It turns out that there is still such a thing, and it feels more and more confusing.

When Brother Hao said this, I could feel his hatred that had traveled through time and was still full of anger.

I think Brother Hao blamed all of Coco's death on the Commander, so much so that he would explode directly if there was even the slightest connection to the Commander.

Because his hatred for the Commander-in-Chief has taken root and sprouted, and has even grown into a towering tree. The slightest movement of wind and grass will cause leaves to fall.

I exhaled softly.

"Brother Hao, in fact, today is not only the death anniversary of Sister Keke but also the death anniversary of many people. I think maybe you are overthinking it, or Brother Tong also came here to pay homage to Sister Keke. After all, you are good brothers, and you will all be together now. It's already very late. Didn't Alang say that Brother Tong came here a few minutes ago? It's possible that Brother Tong thought you had finished paying homage and then came here."

I remember that it was almost twelve o'clock when I was in the supermarket. It would have been between half past twelve and a little after one o'clock at least.

Brother Hao glanced at me and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.

"If it were someone else, I might believe it, but I don't believe him."

I nodded.

"Brother Hao, why don't we hurry up and pay homage to Sister Coco, otherwise it will be the next day and we won't be able to catch up."

Brother Hao glanced at his watch.

"Don't worry, it will be early in the morning when Coco arrives that day. Of course I have to choose early in the morning when I come to pay her respects. This will be just right!"

"That means that even if Brother Tong comes to pay homage to Sister Coco, his time is not right, right?"

Brother Hao turned to look at me, frowning.

"I think Brother Tong must have arrived before twelve o'clock, so the person he paid homage to was not Sister Coco at all."

"When you say that, I feel quite happy."

After Brother Hao finished speaking, he poured out all the paper money in the bag.

Then he lit a handful and threw it into the cup, and then knelt in front of the cup.

The flames flickered, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.

I have rarely been to places like this, because in rural areas, women and children are not allowed to go to cemeteries. It seems that they cannot go because the yin energy is too strong.

This kind of place also gives me a very sacred feeling, so I dare not say too much, especially when the paper money burns.

I always feel like Coco is looking at me and Brother Hao.

A bag of paper money was burned quickly, after it was burned.

Brother Hao stood up and left without looking back. After seeing Brother Hao leave, I quickly followed him.

When he returned to the villa, Brother Hao did not go upstairs. Instead, he sat down on the sofa, his face a little pale. Just like eggplant beaten by frost.

Brother Hao took one look and waved to me, motioning for me to sit over too.

I obediently walked over and sat down next to him.

He turned to look at me.

"I have a few bottles of red wine in my collection, why don't you drink them with me!"

I nodded.

Then Brother Hao turned around and took it out from the cabinet on the side.

Brother Hao opened the red wine, took out two more goblets, poured the red wine into the goblets, and handed one of the glasses to me.

I had never drunk red wine before. I only knew that it was made from grapes, so I just regarded it as a drink. Even mix it up with sparkling wine at the bar.

But after taking the first sip, I realized that it was all what I thought. I even thought the wine was bad.

"Why does it taste so bad?"

My expression contorted.

"This is true for red wine. Is it your first time drinking it?"

"kindness!"

"If it's good for your heart, you can drink it regularly."

I nodded.

Then he drank with Brother Hao.

"These bottles of red wine were bought by Keke back then. We used to drink them often. If I hadn't gone to pay homage to Keke today, I would have almost forgotten about the red wine."

"Then do you want to keep it as a souvenir?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with letting yourself go. I never dare to go into that utility room. Do you know what's in there?"

I shook my head quickly, even though I knew what was inside.

"It's all about Coco. I'll find time for someone to clean it up later. After cleaning it up, I'll use it as a studio for you! You said you like painting very much, and you also told me before coming to northern Myanmar. If you can give it to the entire studio, let’s use it as a studio!”

"No, since there are things belonging to Sister Coco in it, I think it's better to keep them!"

"no need."

After Brother Hao finished speaking, he drank the red wine in the goblet in one gulp.

Then he turned to look at me.

"You drink too!"

At Brother Hao's urging, I imitated Brother Hao and drained the red wine in the glass in one gulp. Brother Hao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then poured me another glass.

I think the red wine is very strong, and after one glass I felt a little heady.

However, Brother Hao was not at all dedicated. Knowing that today was a special day and knowing that Brother Hao felt uncomfortable today, I could only risk my life to accompany him, this big devil.
