Pick up an abandoned child and overwhelm the world

And just when they planned to prepare the things for burial and find a random place for the funeral, they didn't expect Cheng Ning to come.

In such desolation, there are still people who are willing to come to mourn the dead, how can they not be grateful?

"I'm sorry, because...no one came, so our mourning hall is very simple..." Mr. Liu, as the eldest son of the Liu family, now has to take on the responsibility of the head of the family, while staying with Mr. Cheng and the two of them. Walking into the mourning hall, he spoke unnaturally.

Cheng Ning walked in and took a look. How could this be so simple?

This is simply an unfurnished mourning hall!

At first glance, the coffin looked like an ordinary wooden coffin bought in a hurry. It still had no paint, and it was not even as good as an ordinary coffin. The coffin was supported by two benches and placed in the middle of the hall. There was an incense burner in front of the coffin, and there were only a few withered sticks of incense burning in it, and there was not much paper ashes in the brazier where the paper money was burned, and there were no chickens, cattle, sheep, etc. for the sacrifices, only a few lonely ones. There are some small apples on a plate...

Everything showed that, except for their family members, no one else came to worship.

This is simply inferior to the funerals of ordinary people, not to mention the rich sacrifices that are indispensable in ordinary mourning halls, monks chanting sutras, etc., their mourning hall is simply to make room for the coffin in the main hall, and put it directly here , nothing else... nothing!

Cheng Ning, an outsider, looks a little sad. Is this the former rich family?

"The incident happened suddenly, and it's summer again, so we kept things simple..." Mr. Liu awkwardly lit a joss stick for Cheng Ning and handed it to him.

After receiving it with both hands, Cheng Ning knelt down and worshiped according to the mourning etiquette, then stood up from the only old futon on the ground, and said to Mr. Liu with his palms together: "Please forgive me!"

"Thank you, Priest Cheng..." Mr. Liu bowed his head gratefully and said respectfully, "Priest Cheng, please!"

Cheng Ning nodded, and said that it was this side, but it was actually just a wing room. It could be seen that it should be Mr. Liu's own bedroom. Even the table Cheng Ning is sitting at is a small old square wooden table, and the tea is coarse tea...

"I hope Priest Cheng will forgive me for the poor reception!" Mr. Liu said haggardly.

"Mr. Liu is polite, it's already very good!" Cheng Ning said sincerely, seeing the other party's puzzled look, Cheng Ning smiled and said: "You may not believe it when you say it. Not long ago, I told you My son lived a life of living in the wind, eating and sleeping in the open, without getting three meals a day, and was often treated as a beggar on the way!"

I was very surprised that Cheng Ning had such an experience, but Mr. Liu also knew that Cheng Ning would not lie, and seeing that Cheng Ning really didn't mind these things, he finally felt relieved and comforted Cheng Ning who remembered the past: "It's okay, now it's finally It's over, it's getting better!"

"Yes!" Cheng Ning put down the teacup, looked at Mr. Liu and said, "It will get better!"

Mr. Liu was stunned, and then he understood what Cheng Ning said. He shook his head bitterly and said with a smile, "Priest Cheng doesn't need to comfort us, it's useless..." Mr. Liu said, pointing at the two eyes. The bedroom where the person is, pointing to the small courtyard with people coming and going outside the open door: "Can you see where it can get better? Do you think it will get better?"

"..." Cheng Ning pursed his lips and was speechless. What flashed through his mind at the moment was that what Mu Jingan said last night was an impossible solution...

Not noticing Cheng Ning's strangeness, Mr. Liu stood up, walked slowly to the door, looked at the small courtyard outside, and watched the young children in the family happily eating the small snacks and candies that Wenjing gave them With that, Mr. Liu's hand supporting the door frame showed a trace of innocence: "Shortly after my mother was buried, the merchant who cooperated with us suddenly proposed not to continue to cooperate, let us find another buyer by ourselves, and the merchant who supplied us The seller has all sorts of irresistible reasons to increase our purchase price, and then I don’t know whether it’s because God saw that we were too smooth before, hehe..." Mr. Liu smiled bitterly when he thought of the past. Get up, look back at Cheng Ning and say: "You probably can't imagine how unlucky we have been this year, right? The house was stolen by servants, took away a lot of our money while we were not paying attention, and even started a new fire in another city , almost took away all the business of our family, and then, the house leaked and it rained all night, the poultry and livestock raised in the house began to die, and then the people in our family gradually began to get sick as if they were affected, and the result... in the past... The people in our family started to spread rumors again, saying that our family was cursed, so the servants ran away. Later, the bosses who had not paid the dues, as if they were afraid that our family would escape, and the debt collectors One after another, they did not give our family a chance to breathe at all, and asked for bills at our house day and night. My father was already seriously ill at that time, but my father has always been a man who always pays back his bills. I have no money, so...cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..." Mr. Liu coughed violently, Cheng Ning hurriedly stood up and took Mr. Liu's cup of tea, and handed it over After giving it to him, he stretched out his hand and patted his back. Mr. Liu hurriedly took a sip, calmed down, and said gratefully to Cheng Ning when he was better: "Thank you!"

Shaking his head silently, Cheng Ning didn't want to interrupt his continued conversation.

Mr. Liu, as if he had finally found someone to confide in, motioned Cheng Ning to look at the small courtyard and said, "You shouldn't be able to see it, but when we bought a house in the city and moved here, this Although the courtyard is small, you can see that there are many flowers and plants in the small flower bed under the corner over there, but now..."

Cheng Ning followed his finger to look, but the flower bed under the wall was empty. In this season where everything would grow wildly, there was not even a single weed...

"Do you suspect that we have weeded?" Mr. Liu looked at Cheng Ning's thoughtful expression with a smile, and when Cheng Ning acquiesced, Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "We didn't weed, on the contrary... we found those flowers After the weeds withered and died, we planted a lot of seeds, seeds of vegetable seedlings, seeds of flowers, seeds of fruit trees, etc., but... have you seen where sprouts are now? Not just flower beds, look over there And over there, there used to be small saplings in them, but after we moved in, they all died gradually for some reason. No matter how well we took care of them, we watched them all die. You say, people Can it be so unlucky? Even flowers and even weeds are unwilling to live with us?"

"..." Cheng Ning frowned slightly, looking at this courtyard in disbelief in the eyes of Mr. Liu and him, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was still not a small courtyard. Cheng Ning finally It was discovered that something was wrong, it turned out that this courtyard was full of dead things other than living people.

The so-called dead things refer to things without life.

Generally, where people live, people will plant some flowers and plants more or less, and rich people will even build some rockery and flowing water, etc. These are good for the owner in terms of feng shui, whether in terms of luck or health!

However, since Cheng Ning was a child, this is the first time he has seen such an unlucky person whose flowers and plants have been affected?

"It's really nothing!" Mr. Liu looked at Cheng Ning with a smile, thinking that he was sympathizing with himself, and said indifferently to him: "Besides, what Mr. Cheng said just now is actually good, and it will always be fine, so I carefully Think about it, it’s true, you see, it’s already so unlucky, can it be more unlucky? So, I also believe that it will be okay!"

Looking up at Young Master Liu, he has a good outline, but he may have been ill for too long, and the cheekbones on his face have come out, so he looks haggard, but at this moment he is trying hard He pretended to be very confident, as if he wanted Cheng Ning to believe that he believed what he said... The hands in his sleeves were tightly tightened. After Cheng Ning pursed his lips, he suddenly turned to Mr. Liu. He nodded heavily and said, "Please believe me, it will definitely get better!"

I was a little surprised at Cheng Ning's unusual firmness, but after Mr. Liu was slightly taken aback, he still nodded to him and said, "Okay, I believe it!"

"Then, there is one more thing, I hope you can promise me, Mr. Liu!" Cheng Ning said seriously, looking at Mr. Liu as if he had made a big decision.

"Okay, Priest Cheng, please tell me!" Mr. Liu also seriously replied to Cheng Ning.

Pursing his lips, Cheng Ning pointed in the direction of the mourning hall next to him and said, "If possible, I hope Patriarch Liu will wait three days for the funeral. Three days, I just want you to wait three days!"

"Huh? This is Priest Cheng?" Mr. Liu was surprised: "Are you going to show us the cemetery?" Mr. Liu hurriedly shook his head and refused, "No need Mr. Cheng, you have helped us a lot, we can't let you You help us, besides... we don't have any extra money to pay..."

"No, I just want you to give me three days. Although I can't tell you what I will do for the time being, I want you to believe me. You just need to find a way to wait for the funeral of Patriarch Liu to be delayed until three days later. It's alright!" Cheng Ning looked at Mr. Liu's surprised expression, and had to say: "I know, it's very difficult for you to make such a decision in such hot weather, but I hope you can trust me once, I will definitely do it in three days. I will give you a satisfactory explanation, if not, I am willing to bear any consequences, and you can do whatever you want me to do!"

The young man's clear eyes were full of earnestness, as if he didn't need to say anything to make people believe that everything he said was true and undeniably firm!

"Okay, I promise you!" Mr. Liu didn't know what Cheng Ning was going to do, but looking at Cheng Ning's appearance, Mr. Liu was willing to believe and agree to his words: "I also said, no matter what the priest Cheng Ning wants to do , even if we are not satisfied with the answer given to us after three days, then we will definitely not blame Priest Cheng, so please rest assured!"

People are mutual, trust each other, help each other, and understand each other.

This is the so-called friendship of gentlemen!

Cheng Ning didn't say much, and finally gave Mr. Liu some suggestions on how to delay for three days to prevent the body from changing, and finally left in a hurry with Wen Jing.

"My lord, where are we going?" Before going out, Wen Jing noticed Cheng Ning's expression was strange, and he naturally understood that he was busy. He just went out, so he asked decisively.

For Wen Jing's cleverness, Cheng Ning was also very pleased and unambiguous. While jumping into the carriage, he firmly said four words to Wen Jing: "Leave the city and go up the mountain!"

……

The high mountains outside Zhusui City are called Zhusui Mountain.

The hill where Mrs. Liu was buried was just one of them, and it was the hill that Cheng Ning was going to climb again now!

Wen Jing would not rest assured that Cheng Ning climbed up the mountain alone, so after hearing that Cheng Ning was going up the mountain, before reaching the foot of the mountain, Wen Jing cleverly left the carriage at a tea shed on the side of the road, and then accompanied Cheng Ning climbed the mountain together.

Neither the master nor the servant are pampered people, so things like mountain climbing are naturally not a problem, but Wen Jing's physical strength can't keep up, after all, he is a little younger than Cheng Ning, Cheng Ning doesn't dislike them, and simply interacts with each other. With support, they climbed up to the site of Mrs. Liu's grave!

"My lord, this...cough cough, is this Madam Liu's grave?" Wen Jing asked Cheng Ning, coughing and gasping for breath, looking at the one in front of him with some surprise on his sweaty face. The graveyard of the next pile of rammed earth is very incomprehensible. How does this look like a geomantic treasure?

"Well, yes, it's here!" Cheng Ning said, looking at the cemetery with only rammed earth, rubble, and broken bricks in the grass that was almost up to his waist. His head was sweating profusely, and the plain white robe on his body was even more dirty.

On the way here, Cheng Ning sat in the carriage without saying a word, and Wen Jing didn't ask too many questions. Now that he arrived at the destination, Wen Jing was not very old. At this age, even if he spoke a little I am not afraid, but when I came to such a place, I said in my heart that it is impossible not to be afraid, so I watched Cheng Ning wandering around, and Wen Jing desperately kept up to prevent the distance between the two of them from being too far away. , I have nothing to say to Cheng Ning: "Mr., Mr., so... um, what, why are we here now? Didn't I hear that the nameless... nameless person here has also been moved to the yamen What? Then, what are we doing here? Is there anything you can do, Young Master?"
