seven relics

Lianwu hates it to death.My heart stopped beating, I was out of breath, and a person lying on the hospital bed must not move, like a bundle of dead wood wrapped in a piece of skin, left here by some confused woodcutter.The strange thing is that he fell into a serious illness, and when he was about to die, he was killed by the illness. His hair was still very black and thick, and he lay black on the pillow, like a ball of hair that would float away at any time. dark clouds.

Lian Wuchen's hospital bed was next to the window, and Lian Jiangyue was standing beside his bed, by the window.It's mid-April, and the weather is starting to warm up. A gust of warm wind blows in from outside. Lian Jiangyue can already smell a strange smell from Lian Wuchen's body.Lian Jiangyue pressed the electric bell beside the bed, turned around and opened the window wider.

There are six beds in this ward, all serving people, men, women, old and young, severe patients, mild patients, internal medicine patients, surgical patients, all mixed together.It would be great if the hospital in the village could have such an environment. To be honest, Lian Jiangyue was quite surprised. There are about [-] households in Shitou village, and there are still rooms that are not too big or small. They are divided into emergency department and inpatient department. hospital.I heard that many people from Beixian County come here to see a doctor, especially patients with fractures and stones. There are several doctors in Shitou Village whose reputation is not worse than that of experts in large hospitals in the city.

The ward is about ten square meters, with three or three beds facing each other, separated by an arm-width aisle, and a low cabinet is placed on the right side of each bed as a partition. There is no curtain between the beds, and the patients in the ward are also Well, family members who are visiting patients are not taboo, and they look at each other when they have nothing to do, to see what this one eats, and to see what color that person's urine is.Lian Jiangyue has been visiting the hospital for six consecutive days. The people in this ward have not been changed yet. Although he can't call out the names of the people, he already knows their illnesses clearly: Lian Wu hates the side, 2 Lying on the bed was a young man with a broken right leg and a plaster cast on his foot; next to him was a very young man with a fracture and a broken left hand; there was also a woman with food poisoning and a stone patient in the room And a young man who came for rabies vaccination, but suddenly caught a cold and developed a fever. This young man had to be needled several times a day, and he shivered when he saw the needles.

It was still early, some of the patients were still sleeping, Lian Wu hated to die, the awake patients woke up those who were still asleep, and passed the news to each other: Lao Lian is dead!

All the people and patients in the ward came to their senses very quickly, and all looked at Lian Wuchen.At this time, a woman came in outside, Lian Jiangyue recognized it, she had seen it many times, she was a family member of Bed 2, and she had a God of Cookery mole on her mouth.As soon as this woman came in, she followed Lianwuchen to look at Lianwuchen.After all, Stone Village is a small village, and maybe these people have some deep or shallow fate with Lao Lian.Only pity Jiangyue does not look at pity and my hatred.What's so nice about a dead man?Still an ugly death.Lian Jiangyue picked up an apple on the bedside table, wiped it on her clothes, and ate it.After taking a few bites of the apple, Lian Jiangyue remembered something.He took out a business card from his pocket, and it was printed on it: Agreed Funeral, Sales Manager, Qu Jiuchuan.

Lian Jiangyue called Qu Jiuchuan.

The bell has been rang for a while, but the nurse has not come yet, and the phone has been dialed for a while, but there is still no answer.People who look at Lian Wushen look more and more unscrupulously. Some people stare straight at them, especially the young man in the second bed. He not only looks at Lian Wushen, but also looks at Lian Jiangyue, one or two Forget about the inquiring eyes, the people in the same ward died, they were curious, and it was reasonable to feel sorry for each other, but this young man could see his chest heaving violently, and the air kept coming out of his nose, Lian Jiangyue suspected that he had a broken bone Still not well, he caught a cold again, and he gave the young man a concerned look, but the young man became more and more wrong, as if he was angry, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he seemed to be about to cry.Facing the young man's angry eyes, Lian Jiangyue continued to eat apples. The busy tone of the phone kept ringing. The apple in his hand was almost finished. The young man who was staring at him suddenly burned his face with anger, and the veins on his forehead swelled , blushing, and said loudly to the woman sitting by his bed: "What's the matter, is he still free to eat apples after he dies? His mother's suffocating grandson, old pity, pity!"

The woman gave him a blank look: "It's none of your business, just stop saying a few words."

The young man said: "He was still talking to him just now, but he left before finishing a sentence."

The woman glanced over, Lian Jiangyue was chewing on an apple, thinking that this young man might often ask Lian Wuchen to repair his bicycle, and he developed a relationship. He must be a person who attaches great importance to emotions, otherwise a bicycle always needs to be repaired. Others would have bought a new one long ago, and they would have stopped riding a bicycle for others.

Lian Jiangyue turned her head and looked downstairs, there were several battery cars parked in the garage next to the inpatient department.He recalled it carefully. In the ten days since he came to Stone Village, he had never seen a single bicycle. The long and narrow road was either a battery car or a motorcycle. Occasionally, he could see a cart pulling goods.I don't know what kind of business the bicycle stand that I hate is placed in front of my house.

The nurse is here.The phone went through.The person on the other end of the phone came up and said: "Consent funeral, may your family reach bliss early, hello, how can I help you?"

Lian Jiangyue said: "Is it the manager Qu Jiuchuan who agreed to the funeral? The dead person needs to be dealt with. Shitou Village People's Hospital, third floor of the inpatient department, 301, 3 beds."

The nurse and Lian Jiangyue made a gesture: "Wait, I'll find Dr. Chen." The nurse left with Lian Wuchen's case.

On the other end of the phone, Qu Jiuchuan's voice was already crying: "301, the old pity in bed 3, right? My condolences, I'll be there in 10 minutes, don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, the meritorious deeds have been completed, 18 years later, he is a hero again, and I am running a water and land law field here, do you want to sign a contract for Lao Lai Lian?"

Lian Jiangyue was thinking about it, and Qu Jiuchuan added: "I have repaired the car at his place, it's my wish, and there is no charge."

Lian Jiangyue said: "It's up to you."

He hung up the phone, looked at the time, quickly cleaned up the apples in his hand, wiped his hands with a paper towel, and packed up the things in the bedside table. There were three apples left on the table, and there were some hot water bottles, plastic basins, etc. He dug out a plastic bag and put the few apples in it.

The apples were brought by old men and women who often came to see Lian Wuchen. Lian Jiangyue met them a few times. Some of these old people were on crutches, and some had to be supported by others. It is a mouthful of purple gums.Their teeth have long since fallen out, and they have no dentures.They always have a very strong, very unique smell of tobacco on them.People in Shitou Village have this smell of smoke more or less on their bodies. This tobacco is a specialty of Shitou Village. It smells sour. Lian Jiangyue has never smelled such a smell of smoke anywhere else. It is said that this tobacco can prolong life , You can eat less rice, but you can’t smoke less.

Lian Wu hates that he doesn't smell like cigarettes, and he doesn't smoke, yet he has lung cancer.Maybe this cigarette is smoking someone else's life to prolong the smoker's own life.

Those old people are neighbors who love me and hate me.When an old man saw Lian Jiangyue for the first time, tears came down, and he grabbed his hand and said, "You should have come earlier! You are older than him...he is going to die soon!"

An old lady looked Lian Jiangyue up and down: "Oh, how can you recognize this on the road? Isn't Lao Lian with a baby boy? Why is this hair so long?"

These people have been with Lian Wuchen for decades, and they show affection. They come more frequently than Lian Jiang Yueqian, and report sooner or later—in another hour, they will come to visit again.Lian Wu hated to die in the early morning, when the sun was breaking and he didn't make it in time to say goodbye to these old neighbors.

When these old people came, they either brought flowers or food and drink. Their old sympathy could not be spoken, they could not walk or sit up, their calves had shrunk, and bedsores appeared on their backs.They just chatted around him, massaged him with their dry hands, beat his back, and wiped his body.After Lian Jiangyue witnessed their visits in the ward, she asked the nurse about the time and frequency of their visits, and then deliberately staggered them.

He has no enthusiasm for visiting Lian Wushen, but they all came from Zhejiang, and he doesn't know anyone in the village, and he doesn't bother to walk around, and he can't stay in Lian Wushen's house—— There are old books in the house, old newspapers all over the house, and there are only two TV stations in total, one for CCTV and one for the local station. Not to mention the wireless network, there is no jack for wired dial-up.There is a wireless network in the hospital, and there are many flowers and plants in the courtyard of the inpatient department. Spring is a good time for grass and flowers to bloom. After thinking about it, Lian Jiangyue is still more willing to come to the hospital.

Lian Jiangyue dug out a box of American ginseng from the depths of the cabinet, and he also put it in a plastic bag. There was also a box of egg rolls behind the box of American ginseng, which would not expire in half a year.Lian Jiangyue opened the lid and ate the egg roll.

Lian Wu hated not to eat these, all the food that others gave went into Lian Jiangyue's stomach, he came to visit him once during the day, and when he saw an apple on the cabinet, he ate an apple, and went downstairs to sit in the garden after eating I would go back to Lian Wushen's house to sleep until it was dark, and sometimes I couldn't sleep, so I would go into the hospital in the middle of the night to see if there was any food and drink in Lian Wushen's place, and to see if there was any magnolia tree in the hospital garden. No sprouts emerged.Nobody stopped him.The hospitals in the village are no different than those in big cities, and there are no rules. Besides, Lianwuchen is dying, so it is medically ethical to ask relatives to look at them more.If he didn't see the apples during the day, Lian Jiangyue had nothing to do, so he just went to the garden.

Lian Jiangyue asked Lian Wuchen's attending doctor, Dr. Chen: "Isn't he lung cancer, but he doesn't eat anything, how does he look like stomach cancer?"

Dr. Chen said: "The cancer cells have already spread to the whole body. It may be very painful. I have no appetite. It's normal."

Lian Jiangyue said: "If a person does not eat for seven days, he will die."

Dr. Chen looked at him suspiciously: "I don't understand what you are trying to say without thinking."

Lian Jiangyue couldn't figure out what she meant, she just blurted out subconsciously.Dr. Chen added: "If he is in severe pain, I will prescribe more painkillers for him."

It was Lian Jiangyue's turn to not understand: "How do I know if he is in severe pain or not?"

"Didn't he shout?"

Lian Jiangyue shook her head.There are indeed many people in the hospital complaining of pain. In the emergency department, people come to put their arms in plaster all day long. Many patients in the hospital have fractures, or stones waiting to be operated on. Isn’t there two fractures and one stone in their ward alone?

Stones are painful, especially urinary stones. You can’t have surgery, so you can only drink water constantly to let the body expel it by itself. If the stones are blocked in the urethra, you can listen to people crying for pain all night.But Lian Wu Hate never shouted, he just lay on the hospital bed, his chest rising and falling slowly.exhausted.

Before Lian Jiangyue came, he had spent a month here.

Dr. Chen said that when Lian Wuchen was sent to the hospital, he asked him where his son was and what his phone number was, and he had to be notified.

Lian Jiangyue thought it was funny: "Everyone in Shitou Village knows that he has a son?"

Lian Jiangyue often forgets that she still has a father in Stone Village.

Dr. Chen said: "Why don't you know this? You forgot, I often saw you when you were young, and you have been in poor health. Who doesn't know that Lao Lian's son is as thin as bean sprouts, Lao Lian said, eating There is not much to drink. Why is this child in such a poor health? Sometimes it is cold and sometimes hot. When it is cold, the whole body is like ice cubes. When it is hot, the whole body is terribly hot. I asked him if the child was born prematurely, but he couldn’t answer. After a set of inspections, you are fine. I suspect that you are malnourished. I asked Lao Lian to give you more milk and eggs, but you still have fever and chills twice a day. To be honest, most of you and I are afraid of you I never thought that you would be so big now, are you in better health? I just came here to work at that time, how many photos do you see now?"

Doctor Chen made a five-point comparison, and grinned at Lian Jiangyue. His teeth were not very good, crooked and black.He didn't smell like smoke.

Lian Jiangyue said, "Doctor Chen, I heard that the water quality in Stone Village is problematic."

Dr. Chen put away the five, and looked at him unhappy: "Don't interrupt, listen to me."

Lian Jiangyue stopped talking and listened.

"When you are older, he said that he has no son. I said, you have advanced lung cancer, not Alzheimer's disease. Think about it carefully, don't get angry with your son and make something that the child regrets for the rest of his life. The son has not yet been given to me. In the end, who will not regret it? Who will not feel uncomfortable? He has a stubborn temper, so he just doesn’t say anything, and I even went to the police station to find out where your account has been transferred. Those donkey heads at the police station, Say I'm nosy, and I can't do anything if I don't check it for me. Unexpectedly, after a month, you probably have come to realize that he, his health is really failing. One night, he and The nurse who made the rounds said, please give me a call, call me from another place, and hang up to Zhejiang."

Lian Jiangyue couldn't help laughing: "He thought he sent a telegram decades ago?"

"The nurse asked him, who are you looking for? You have to give me a name. You say, look for my son. The nurse is a little angry, old pity! Why don't you tell me you have a son! Let your son come quickly! Your eldest son explain……"

Lian Jiangyue waved her hand, not wanting to listen to Dr. Chen's retelling, so Dr. Chen stopped repeating it, and asked Lian Jiangyue: "You have been away for more than 20 years, do you see that Stone Village has changed a lot? When you go to Zhejiang, it’s probably because of the living conditions in Zhejiang..." Dr. Chen asked again, "What did you study in college?" He looked at Lian Jiangyue, "Art? It costs a lot of money, right? I am alone. But it's not easy."

Lian Jiangyue said: "I learned blacksmithing from a master. Old Lian's friend, I want to come back. The master said, your father will send you back after you go back. I escaped several times and was caught every time. .”

Dr. Chen is speechless.

Dr. Chen came, followed by the nurse just now.Lian Jiangyue and Doctor Chen nodded, and asked him, "Is he dead?"

Dr. Chen glanced at the monitoring equipment, shone a flashlight on the pupils of Lianwu, and said, "I'm leaving." He sighed: "Who will I ask to repair the bicycle in the future?"

Lian Jiangyue covered the egg roll box.Doctor Chen asked him, "You know how to deal with it, right?"

"I called the funeral director and waited for him to come."

The young man on bed 2 started to breathe out of his nose again, and said something strangely: "That's not true, he called as soon as he lost his breath."

The woman who accompanied him rolled her eyes at him again: "Are you finished?"

Dr. Chen patted Lian Jiangyue on the shoulder: "Come with me, and I will issue a death certificate for you."

Lian Jiangyue followed Dr. Chen to his office.Dr. Chen was typing on the computer, Lian Jiangyue sat silently, and sent a text message to Qu Jiuchuan: I am in Dr. Chen's office, waiting for him to issue a death certificate.

Qu Jiuchuan replied: I'm downstairs, add a WeChat.

The two added WeChat.Dr. Chen asked, "Who is responsible for the funeral?"

"This." Lian Jiangyue handed over Qu Jiuchuan's business card, Dr. Chen nodded, and said, "Okay, Xiao Qu is a real person, don't look at him as young and reliable, you take it."

The death certificate was printed out.Lian Jiangyue didn't even look at it, she just put it away.

Qu Jiuchuan sent another WeChat message, voice, Lian Jiangyue clicked on it to listen, and he told him three things, the first one, the death certificate must be kept, without this certificate, the funeral home will not cremate; The first one is to contact the cemetery. If there is no cemetery, he sent him a Taobao link and buy it now. The third one is to figure out how many people will be engraved on the tombstone, who will be engraved, and whoever wants to leave a name on the tombstone? .

After listening to Lian Jiangyue, she smiled, got up and shook hands with Dr. Chen: "It's really thoughtful, then I'm leaving, thank you."

Dr. Chen was a little embarrassed: "The person was not rescued, and you still thank me..."

He sighed heavily.Lian Jiangyue went in without knowing it: "Lung cancer in the advanced stage can't be cured anywhere."

Dr. Chen looked at Lian Jiangyue with a wrinkled old face: "You said you have only been back for a few days..."

He sighed again, and patted him with pity on Jiangyue: "My condolences." After thinking for a while, he said again: "Buy a battery car."

When Lian Jiangyue returned to the ward, she saw Qu Jiuchuan at a glance. Qu Jiuchuan was easy to recognize. He was in his early twenties, with a thick head and a thick head. He wore a suit and sneakers. He was dressed like a real estate agent in the city. His hair was cut very short and his ears were exposed.He has a row of studs on each of his left and right ears.The last time he saw him, Qu Jiuchuan was handing out business cards at the door of the operating room, stuffing them with everyone, with a smile on his face, and he said: "Qu Jiuchuan, we agree to a one-stop funeral, anytime, anywhere, 24 hours a day. Serving you and your family."

Some people thought it was bad luck and threw away their business cards when they got them, and some people spat at him, but Qu Jiuchuan didn't care, he always had a smile on his face and eyes.This time he still wears a suit with sneakers, and still puts a business card on everyone.Lian Jiangyue walked into the ward, Qu Jiuchuan saw him, pointed to the third bed, waved his hand, and waited until he handed out the last business card in his hand before coming to shake hands with Lian Jiangyue: "Hi, you Well, is it you who called?"

Lian Jiangyue nodded: "It's me." He pointed to the third bed, "This is it, how do I get to the funeral home? Do you have a car?"

Qu Jiuchuan was taken aback, and said: "This is against the rules, isn't it, why don't you stay at home for seven days? It's better to inform relatives and friends to attend the funeral."

"My home is not here."

"Oh, then this is a foreign land where a guest died, so where is your hometown? Luoyang, Shangqiu? Qufu? Let's drive back. People pay attention to returning the fallen leaves to their roots and resting in the soil. Don't you think so? Have your relatives and friends in your hometown notified you? Look at this coffin, here I am..." He took out his mobile phone and brought up an online store interface for Lian Jiangyue to see.There are all kinds of mortuary coffins dedicated to the first seven, some are colorful, called "colorful glass", and some are all white, called "bright moon in the sky", all of which have their own "Xiangong" dry ice system.

Lian Jiangyue waved her hand: "No, just take it to cremation."

Qu Jiuchuan looked him up and down, and said: "Okay, keep everything simple, don't look at the small village of Shitou Village, but you can get everything you need, hospital, funeral parlor, you can go back to your hometown, the road is bumpy, It’s not safe, so it’s better to see him off here. You’re a real person, so let’s do what you want, and the cemetery is not here in Shitou Village? Did you read the link I sent you? Don’t worry, Let’s take a look on the way, I’m going to call someone to come to the funeral home. Do you want the elegiac couplet? Or the wreath? The funeral home must arrange a small ceremony, right?”

"No, you don't need any."

Qu Jiuchuan nodded in response.The young man on the second bed said loudly, "This man can't make decisions after he dies!"

The woman accompanying him disappeared at this time, Lian Jiangyue ignored him, the young man snorted, stood up on crutches, and walked around to the end of the bed.He glanced at Lian Jiangyue. There was limited space in the ward. At this time, he and Lian Jiangyue were very close. He saw the young man turned around and made a gesture to go to the toilet. The young man seemed not used to walking with a cane, and his body was straight. Leaning towards Lian Jiangyue, seeing the young man's right shoulder bumping towards Lian Jiangyue, Lian Jiangyue didn't move, she just put her left hand behind her back, and clenched her right hand into a fist, holding the No. hospital bed.As soon as the young man's right shoulder hit him, his right hand tightened suddenly, and he remained motionless, but the young man's body softened, and he sat back on his bed.Lian Jiangyue continued to talk to Qu Jiuchuan, saying: "Then let's go to the funeral parlor now."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the complexion of the young man with two beds, as if he didn't expect such a result from his collision.Lian Jiangyue was also surprised in her heart. The collision of the two-bed young man just now, in the eyes of others, might be an ordinary provocation by intentionally bumping into him because of the inconvenience of walking. Ordinary, five points of that strength belonged to brute strength, and five points belonged to internal skills, obviously they came here to slander him.Moreover, the young man's internal strength is vigorous and vigorous, and he has a warm aura. Without more than twenty years of kung fu, he will never be able to achieve such a climate. It seems that this young man is only 2 or 2. He must be practicing boy kung fu.

Lian Jiangyue did not expect to meet such a master of internal strength in this mountain and field, but he was puzzled: the breathing and breathing of martial arts practitioners are very different from ordinary people, as long as they get close, they will definitely feel He came out, but he had been in and out of the hospital these days, and he had seen this young man without looking up or down, and even passed by him several times at close range, but he never found anything unusual about him.Could it be that this young man deliberately restrained himself and hid his aura?Why?

Lian Jiangyue was feeling strange, the woman with the God of Cookery mole on her mouth hurried in from outside, held down the young man and said: "You said you, what are you moving around with your lame leg! Lie down! Lie down! "

The young man rolled his eyes, made no sound, and was about to hand over the crutch in his hand.Lian Jiangyue frowned, this was obviously another ploy to feint, others might just think that the young man was handing a cane to the woman, but he could tell that the cane was going to stab him standing next to the woman!The youth are tempting him.Lian Jiangyue secretly analyzed that the young man may also be puzzled by being turned into a general because he failed to feel any internal strength from him.This stab is to pierce his reality.

It is true that Lian Jiangyue has no internal strength. He has been physically flawed since he was a child and was unable to practice any internal strength. However, his body is extremely sensitive. He used his expertise to painstakingly develop a unique ability to use force and force.At first glance, this ability is no different from the four-two-thousand-thousand-jin used by Taijiquan masters, but when it is used, others will only think that he is doing Tai Chi, but the four-two-thousand is about absorbing the incoming force, using the enemy's force, and returning it. On the other side, it is important to form a power cycle within itself and make use of external power.Because Lian Jiangyue has no inner strength and does not know any inner strength methods, she lacks this set of inner strength circulation system in her body, and she just uses her body as a medium to export her strength out of her body.

Just now he diverted all the force from the young man hitting him out of his body, and directed it towards the hospital bed, and because the young man was very close to the hospital bed, the young man was shocked by his own skill and fell on the bed.

Seeing that the crutch in the young man's hand was about to stab Lian Jiangyue, Lian Jiangyue was not afraid of him and was ready to resist him. At this moment, Naqu Jiuchuan suddenly stepped between Lian Jiangyue and the two young people. Suddenly, when the young man saw this, he lowered his right hand holding the cane, and clasped his wrist to his side, with the intention of restraining his skills in his eyes.I saw Qu Jiuchuan gently pushing away the young man's crutch with one hand, fanning the wind with the other hand, looking around with a smile, and gossiping: "It's hot every day, hey, then I'll call someone up now."

Lian Jiangyue looked again, and the young man's crutch had been snatched by the woman who was still cursing.The young man sat on the head of the bed, not looking at him, with a dignified expression.

After a while, two young people came in from the ward, Qu Jiuchuan introduced: "This is Xiao Wang and Xiao Li, the top salesmen of our sales department."

Xiao Wang and Xiao Li also brought up a stretcher, and they carried Lian Wuchen onto the stretcher, while Qu Jiuchuan was crying beside him: "Old man, walk slowly! Walk steadily!"

Xiao Wang and Xiao Li also started to cry. Without speaking, they made a whining sound. Many people in the ward lowered their heads and wiped their eyes when they heard this sound.Xiao Wang and Xiao Li went out carrying pity and hatred.Lian Jiangyue followed them with a plastic bag containing apples and American ginseng, and an egg roll box in one hand.

When going downstairs, Qu Jiuchuan asked Lian Jiangyue: "How about finding some mourners for you? Let's cry during the cremation. Don't worry, the professional ones are definitely more professional than us. They are all group performers who have retired from Hengdian. , Guaranteed to cry until you are heartbroken and heartbroken, you said that this year, the old man..."

"sixty."

"nominal age?"

"The year of birth."

"Only sixty! It's a pity! Let's still be lively." Qu Jiuchuan squinted his eyes and looked at Lian Jiangyue: "May I ask where you were in high school? You came back from other places."

Lian Jiangyue asked him: "How much?"

Qu Jiuchuan compared five, Lian Jiangyue shook his head, Qu Jiuchuan compared three again, Lian Jiangyue still shook his head, Qu Jiuchuan said: "This road to Huangquan is very lonely."

Lian Jiangyue was silent, and Qu Jiuchuan was silent for a while.When they got downstairs, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li carried Lian Wuchen into a minivan. When Lian Jiangyue saw it, she turned around and left. Qu Jiuchuan hurriedly called to him: "You...you don't follow the car? You drive by yourself?"

Lian Jiangyue said: "Isn't there a death certificate that can be burned?" He said, "You can dispose of the ashes."

Qu Jiuchuan dragged him into the van: "What's the matter, you, the survivor, don't go, don't burn it!"

After speaking, he lit a cigarette, handed it to Lian Jiangyue, bowed all around, and gave a cigarette to Xiao Wang and Xiao Li.Xiao Wang was driving, and Xiao Li was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a mobile phone connected to the stereo hanging outside the van, and began broadcasting Buddhist scriptures.Lian Jiangyue looked at him, Qu Jiuchuan smiled: "It's free!"

Lian Jiangyue returned the burning cigarette to him: "I don't smoke, thank you."

Qu Jiuchuan took the cigarette and took a sip: "This is longevity cigarette."

The van drove out of the hospital.

After a while, Qu Jiuchuan pointed out the car: "Isn't this your father's bicycle stall?"

Lian Jiangyue looked out and saw that the peonies in Shitou Village were in bloom, lively and lively, red, yellow and yellow, which made people feel warm.Lian Jiangyue was a little hungry, so she opened the egg roll box and ate the egg roll.Qu Jiuchuan looked at him, pity Jiangyue and asked him: "Do you want to eat?"

Qu Jiuchuan shook his head, smiled, was silent for a while, his eyes flashed, and he asked Lian Jiangyue: "How about we choose an urn with mammoth ivory?"

Lian Jiangyue didn't make a sound, but Qu Jiuchuan said, "I'll give you a [-]% discount."

Lian Jiangyue still didn't speak, Qu Jiuchuan laughed twice: "You said people were burned, so you can't..."

He looked down at the tin egg roll box on Lian Jiangyue's lap, swallowed, and fell silent.Lian Jiangyue also looked at the egg roll box, and picked it up to make gestures.Lianwu hates this skinny person, I don't know how much ashes can be burned and how many bones will be left.

There was still a lot of egg roll left, half full, Lian Jiangyue hastened to eat the egg roll.

When they arrived at the funeral home, Qu Jiuchuan led Lian Jiangyue to hand over the death certificate and received the cremation notice. Xiao Wang and Xiao Li unloaded Lian Wuchen from the car and carried them into the cremation room.The person in the cremation room checked with them: "No coffin?"

Lian Jiangyue said: "Just burn it like this."

Lian Wuhan was placed on an iron bed, the cremation furnace was turned on, and he was pushed into the raging fire.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Li went out to smoke. There were three stoves in the cremation room, and they were the only one that was on fire at the moment, but it was too hot. Lian Jiangyue couldn't sit still, so she went out too.The peonies in the funeral parlor were in full bloom, especially around the cremation room, which was full of light yellow peonies, and each flower was as big as a fist.Lian Jiangyue was busy taking pictures with her mobile phone, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the glass above his head, when she looked up, she saw Qu Jiuchuan beckoning him in through the glass window, with anxious eyes.Lian Jiangyue went back in and saw that Lian Wu hated nothing, lying on the iron bed intact.The furnace door was open, and the cremation staff member who received the order earlier stretched his face and asked them in a bad mood: "What's the matter with this person?"

Lian Jiangyue also felt strange: "Why did it come out again?"

The staff glanced at him, wiped his forehead, lowered his voice, and said, "It can't be burned."

Lian Jiangyue was puzzled: "What do you mean?" He looked at Qu Jiuchuan: "There is something wrong with the cremation furnace?"

The staff drank it: "It can't be burned!"

Lian Jiangyue thought for a while, and looked at the staff seriously: "Please burn it a little longer, he has practiced kung fu for several years, maybe it is because of this."

Hearing this, Qu Jiuchuan frowned and looked at Lian Jiangyue, "The golden bell covers the iron cloth shirt? This man is dead, is this kung fu still useful?"

The staff member also frowned, and waved his hand: "What a mess, look!"

He glanced at Lian Jiangyue: "Look at this..."

Lian Jiangyue remembered something and asked, "Do you know that there is a Que Que Temple near Stone Village?"
