"South, east, west, and four directions guard." That year, Fu Hong personally helped four young apprentices adjust the position of the martial arts sword, "Come on, practice again."

The words were like ears, Fucheng blinked, and the father in front of him smiled and disappeared.

"In the afternoon, I glued the stone lions to these four places around the lying stele." Said the cave sealer.

"Thank you." Fucheng stood motionless, not knowing what to do next.

"Have you bought the incense burner and flowers?" Jiang Bai started to take things out of his schoolbag again.

The man opened his woven pockets. "I bought it. I bought the sapphire incense burner you asked for. I also bought two bunches of yellow and white chrysanthemums. I bought a time-honored brand of dim sum according to your instructions. It's just that open flames are strictly prohibited in the cemetery, and paper money cannot be burned, so I didn't take it. The incense is good. Take a small bundle."

"Thank you." Jiang Bai stuffed a cigarette into his pocket, "Please make it smoother when you make the seal in the afternoon, and we will leave after the incense burns out. I won't trouble you."

The acupoint sealer collected the cigarettes according to the unwritten rules. "Don't worry, it's our job to send the last part of the journey."

"Please." Jiang Bai said again.Fu Cheng still stood there stupidly, he took out another plastic bag from his schoolbag, and gave it to his junior brother: "This is the soil from the Fu family's class courtyard, you sprinkle it around the tomb with your own hands."

Fucheng accepted it firmly, and before he could recover, the father who was still in his arms just now was buried like this.

"Sprinkle it." Liao Chengming patted Fucheng, "After you sprinkle it, give your father a stick of incense. If there is anything you want to say to your father, do it now."

"Yeah." Fu Cheng nodded, thinking about what to say while sprinkling the soil.There are too many things to say, from the time when Shi Ge's parents went to the lion hall and packed things at home, there are too many grievances he wants to talk about these years.But now these words were stirred into a pot of porridge in his heart, sticking to his mouth.

A handful of soil was sprinkled, Fucheng took the three sticks of incense lit by his senior brother, and looked at the lying monument. "dad."

The voice choked up a bit.

"My senior brother is back." Fu Cheng bowed.

Liao Chengming turned his back and closed his eyes.

"You are really back, don't worry." Fu Chenger bowed, "I have grown up too, I will cherish life in the future and don't do stupid things."

The censer was filled with soil by the senior brother, Fucheng inserted three sticks of incense into it, and bowed three times.The cave sealer took out snacks and disposable paper plates, and placed them in front of the tomb one by one, with three servings of each snack.

"The deceased has gone, and the family mourns." He persuaded, "Smoke is not allowed in the cemetery, you wait for the incense to burn out before leaving. There is a place to collect water over there, so you can wipe the stele. The incense burner is also placed after the selection I will come to reinforce it in the afternoon. There are many of you, and you have thought everything through. Some of you have a big family that doesn’t worry about anyone. When it’s time to seal the acupuncture point, there’s neither this nor that, and you seal it in a hurry. gone."

Qing Rang looked at Jiang Bai, and wherever it was their turn to worry, it was all done by the elder brother alone.

"Then I'm leaving. If you have any problems with the tomb, you can contact me through the cemetery service center." The person who sealed the cave said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Bai nodded to him as a thank you.

After they left, Qiu Li and Qing Rang bowed and offered incense, Fu Cheng squatted down to touch the tombstone, Jiang Bai brought a small bucket of water from the water receiving place, and Liao Chengming wiped the outer circle of the stele clean.

"Fu Hong, when you arrive in a new place, you should restrain your temper and build a good relationship with your neighbors. This place is good, the money is enough for you, and the children are doing well. When they grow up, don't worry about it. It's time to rest. Rest. There are two pine trees next to your tomb, which are yours. After two years, the trees will grow up and shelter you from wind and rain." Liao Chengming twisted a rag, bowed and bowed to the lying monuments in all directions, "My brother You have a stubborn temper, please bear with me."

Fucheng squatted quietly, when a gust of wind came suddenly, he quickly folded his hands into circles to protect the flame on the incense stick.Like a father guarding the family lion.The blood of the Southern Lion flows in his body, from the south to the north, from Foshan, the hometown of martial arts, to here, passing on the relay from generation to generation, and the heart of guardianship has not changed.

After the incense burnt out, Fucheng sprinkled flowers on the tombstone and touched the name on the tombstone.It's time, it's time for Fujiaban.

"Let's go." Liao Chengming pulled Fucheng up, "After 3 days, there will be a round grave. Your father has no grandchildren yet. Come here."

"Yeah." Fucheng straightened the dim sum plate again, "Dad, let's go first, and I'll come back in 3 days. You have a good rest."

After finishing speaking, he slowed down again, and the brothers bowed deeply before walking outside.

A cemetery cat rubbed past Jiang Bai's trouser legs, Jiang Bai took out the last thing in the bag, dried and chopped a whole bag of small fish, sprinkled it under a tree that didn't get in the way, and gave it to the wild cats in the cemetery.Most of the people who work here believe in ghosts and gods and preach good fortune, and don't care about these beasts.

"Let's eat, eat my family's food, and take a good look at the tomb for us." Jiang Bai sprinkled all the dried fish.Not far away, a litter of newly born orange cats is eager to try.

Going further out is the parking lot, Fucheng slowed down, and wanted to take another look back.

"Don't look back." Jiang Bai held the back of Fucheng's head, straightened his head, and gently pushed him, "You can't look back when you go out from here. Look forward, and I will take you away."

Fu Cheng took a few deep breaths, and held his brother's hand.

It was still early to go back to the urban area, everyone wanted to spend more time with the uncle, and Jiang Bai did not object.The death of Fucheng's father hit Liao Chengming as hard as Fucheng, otherwise he would not seal the lion and never go to the lion hall again.I'm afraid I won't go there again.

But Jiang Bai didn't take them back directly. Instead, he found a KFC and ate outside according to the rules before entering the house.As soon as they got home, Liao Chengming took out the old wine. Qiu Li and Qing Rang were afraid that the uncle would drink too much, so they sat by and watched him pour the wine.

"Come on, all of you have a drink with Master Uncle." Liao Chengming drank quickly, Qiu Li didn't take a look, and half of the bottle was gone, "Xiaobai, Master Uncle has nothing good to welcome you back, I'll bring you something , children's things..." Dangyou came out of the bedroom, and stuffed things into Jiang Bai's hands, "This Wenwan walnut was your favorite before. I do it well, and I don't want to let you move it. You still Always sneaking around. I’ll see you off! Qing Rang, why don’t you drink with me..."

Qing Rang was more honest, went to get the wine cup, and waited for his uncle to fill it up for himself.

Jiang Bai grabbed two shiny Wenwan walnuts and twisted them a few times unconsciously.Uncle Shi was drunk, so he took Fucheng to the hut during this spare time and closed the door.

"What's wrong?" Fu Cheng asked.

Jiang Bai pressed the scar on his wrist, touching it from the left end to the right end.The second line is really deep and wide, one can imagine how the knife was drawn at that time, and there is no nostalgia.

"Now you can tell me." Jiang Bai covered the scar, "How did my parents send you to the clinic?"

Fucheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect his senior brother to insist on this matter.

"The 50 I gave you, do you want you to use it to treat your father?" Jiang Bai asked.

Fucheng leaned against the wall, refusing to admit that he didn't want to face it.

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Jiang Bai said so, but his hands clenched even tighter.

Fucheng laughed, the senior is still the senior, he has been like this since he was a child, he said that he would not be angry if he didn't pursue it, and he smiled and asked them to tell the truth, and the last time was never calm.If I don't tell the truth today, I guess this hand will be squeezed until the blood is blocked.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it." Jiang Bai smiled faintly.

"If I don't say anything else, this hand will be useless." Fu Cheng leaned his head against the wall, "Well, they sent me there."

Jiang Bai's smile disappeared immediately. "Why?" asked again, "Why are you..."

Fu Cheng shook his head and remained silent for a long time.Why yourself?He doesn't know either.It may be that the senior brother's feelings for him were discovered, or it may be that the senior brother secretly gave him money and was discovered.

"Actually... It's a good thing to send me to get medical treatment." Fucheng lowered his head, "After you left, I just felt uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep every night, and I didn't understand what was wrong. I was late and didn't go there. On the one hand, I thought that my brothers and sisters were like this... But when I arrived at the clinic, the doctors surrounded me for analysis, and then showed me the promotional video, and I met a little friend, I was shocked, it turns out that I like you."

Jiang Bai was angry and helpless.

"I don't know what you think, but every day you call me, send me WeChat, put me to sleep, I think..." Fucheng blushed, "I think you should... also be interested in me, that's all kind of meaning."

"How did they let you go?" Jiang Bai loosened his hand.Fucheng is a traitor, he doesn't want to go, even if his parents beat him, they won't be able to touch him.

Fucheng was poked at the center. "It didn't even let me go..."

"Say it or not?" Jiang Bai stopped laughing, "If you don't say it, I don't care about you."

"No, you can't scare me with this, you don't care about me, I'll kill you." Fu Cheng was uneasy, "Let me go because..."

Jiang Bai frowned.

"It's because..." Fu Cheng didn't dare to look at him.

"Because I gave you money, right?" Jiang Bai guessed the answer.

Fucheng felt ashamed.

"How much did I give you?" Jiang Bai gently twisted Fu Cheng's face, "100 million? 300 million?"

Fucheng's voice was so soft that he could hardly hear it clearly. "20, I said that I took the money to treat the disease, and I will not contact you. I also said that you will stay in the south to attend high school, and you will not come back."

With a blow to the head, the world before Jiang Bai's eyes thickened, he couldn't push it away, he was about to suffocate. "20? Just 20? Do you know how much my family has?"

As he expected, Fucheng would only shake his head.

20, Jiang Bai smiled wryly, 20, his parents put Fucheng in that kind of place, he started receiving treatment in the third year of junior high school, and until the second year of high school, he even sent text messages and complained to Zhu Jie, saying that the treatment was almost over. 20, my parents sent them to Fucheng, hiding it from my 15-year-old self.In their eyes, Fucheng might be their own little pet. If they treat Fucheng well and are happy, they won't interfere, and it doesn't cost much to keep them anyway.

So they brought Fu Cheng for his birthday, and they didn't stop him, because what they saw was that their son was happy.But once the relationship exceeds, they will dispose of this cheap little pet.

"What else did they say?" Jiang Bai asked in a daze.

"Also, if I die." Fucheng glanced at him now, "Tell my dad and pay back the money. In fact, my dad didn't care. My dad was already seriously ill at that time. If you give me the money, I will go Zhi, didn’t say he wouldn’t go.”

Jiang Bai couldn't believe it, his parents were so kind to him, why did they treat other people's sons so hard?

"They have no obligation to give me money. Even if my dad is your master." Fu Cheng moved his neck, "20 is quite a lot, and my dad thought that the money, including the 50 you gave me, was from my teacher." Uncle's savings."

"What else did they say to you?" Jiang Bai's half body was cold.

Fucheng's left hand was half paralyzed, and if he continued to hold it like this, his blood wouldn't flow. "Say... say... say you're gone..."

"What?" Jiang Bai was startled.

"After your accident, I couldn't get in touch with you, so I called them." Fu Cheng lowered his head again, "They called me..."

"Are you talking about you, or scolding you?" Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't scold you." Fucheng lied, "I asked them where you had been, and I was afraid that you would ignore me after listening to them, and then they told me that you were gone. At that time, my father was seriously ill, and I I dare not go to see him, you said you will come back after the high school entrance examination, he always asks me, I am afraid I will cry."

Jiang Bai broke through his thick emotions and took a breath of life-saving oxygen.

"But my dad didn't hold back. Within a few days, he fell asleep and walked away with heart failure. He was too tired." Fucheng said, "I was already stupid at the time, and my uncle kept grabbing my dad's hand, begging the doctor Give him another heart boosting shot. His blood pressure and heartbeat are gone. Uncle... Uncle Shi has been asking for a boosting shot. He took 10 shots. My dad was cold all over, and he even asked the doctor to save him. .”

"Uncle Master said, Xiaobai will be back soon, Fu Hong, wait a little longer. But at that time we all thought you were gone, I was so stupid, so I watched my dad rescue me, I thought you were gone." Fu Cheng I moved my wrist, "But then I knew you were alive. I was too impulsive. Life is precious. I was really too impulsive. I have been like this since I was a child. From now on, I will cherish life and work hard even if the sky falls."
