Chapter 30 The Death of the Old Man

In the early morning, Chen Yan lazily got up from the bed, opened his sleepy eyes, and saw a leaf floating on the window sill in the distance, the morning dew on the leaf, the water was bright and crystal clear, and there were bursts of birdsong outside the window Voice.

Under the urging sound of cock crowing, the sun lazily stretched out its arms, smiling and emitting the first ray of brilliance.That golden line shone warmly into the room, making the whole room golden.It is a bright color, and the spirit of the morning is also inspired by it.

"You're all up?" Mother Chen asked when she saw that everyone had gone downstairs.

"Well, I'm up. It's rare to have a good night's sleep last night." Mr. Shangguan replied.These elderly people just sleep less, less than five hours of sleep a night, but who would have thought that they would sleep until dawn here for more than eight hours.So waking up in the morning is naturally full of energy.

"Hurry up and have breakfast" I saw that Chen's mother had set the table and chopsticks for everyone, and was waiting to eat it after waking up!

Breakfast is simple steamed bun porridge, clear vegetables and salted duck eggs.Father Chen also marinated some small dried fish for his son, and Father Chen made a lot of improvements in taste for his son.

Everyone was sitting around the big round table of Chen's family having breakfast, but Chen Yan's grandma was nowhere to be seen.

"Mom, where's grandma? Why didn't she come down for breakfast?" Chen Yan asked strangely. Usually, Chen Yan's grandma was the first to wake up.Why didn't you get up so late today?

"You guys are eating, I'll go up and ask mom to come down to eat." Chen's mother put down the dishes and prepared to go upstairs to wake up Chen Yan's grandma.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!" Mother Chen gently knocked on the door of the room where Grandma Chen Yan was.

"Mom! Get up and have breakfast." No one in the room answered.

"Mom! You can get up and have breakfast!" Mother Chen urged again, but there was still no answer in the room.

Seeing this, Mother Chen pushed the door hard.The old man didn't have the habit of locking the door at night, so Mother Chen just pushed it in.

Chen's mother approached the old man's bed and saw the old man lying on the bed with the quilt slipped on the floor.Mother Chen picked up the quilt that had fallen on the floor and was about to cover the old man, but was frightened by the cold body temperature of the old man.

"Mom! Mom..." Mother Chen was so frightened that she sat on the ground as soon as she touched the old man's body.Hastily stood up again, in disbelief, tried the old man's breath with his trembling fingers, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground again.

"His dad! His dad! Come here quickly! Something happened, something happened!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter? What are you yelling for!" Although Chen's father said so, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and rushed upstairs when he saw his wife calling him that.

"What are you doing?" Chen's father, who pushed the door open, was displeased to see Chen's mother sitting on the ground.

"Get up! What does it look like?" Chen's father said while helping Chen's mother.At this time, Mother Chen was speechless, she just pointed at the old man lying on the bed with her finger, tears streaming down her eyes instantly.

At this time, Father Chen suddenly had an ominous premonition, and saw Father Chen cautiously approaching the old man.

"Mom! Mom! Wake up! Wake up!" Father Chen cried loudly.When everyone downstairs heard Father Chen's cry, they rushed upstairs one after another.

It was finally determined that the old man passed away peacefully in his sleep.

The old man was lying in the red-painted coffin, with his face facing the sky, his limbs close together, wearing a black shroud suit, his eyes were tightly closed, his cheeks on both sides were sunken even though they were a little swollen, and his pale hair was combed. It was neat and tidy, and the whole looked very peaceful.

The spirit of the old man is placed on one side of the main room, and there is a platform in the middle of the room, which is the main place for practicing, praying for the old man to ascend to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss as soon as possible.The person who did it was not an authentic Taoist priest, but an old man with glasses over sixty years old, a lay Buddhist who is rare in this area in the local area.

The old Taoist beat the gongs and drums well, and the characters were well written. Around the dojo, every allusion of 24 filial piety was filled with colored paper, and a long elegiac couplet was placed on white paper. Everyone present People are all dressed in linen and filial piety, all white, such a sad and moving scene.

There are a lot of people who come to the funeral. In rural areas, a family with a surname is a family. In some villages, there are hundreds of people with a single surname. Nephews are older than uncles. It is common for old men with white beards to call children grandpa.Normally, people who are not acquaintances would not be able to tell the seniority of these people, but it is clear at a glance at the funeral.

The back of the filial piety hats of the sons is tied with twine on the shoulders, that is, the filial piety is worn with hemp; the filial piety hats of the grandsons are covered with red cloth, the daughter-in-laws wear linen hats, and the nieces wear a blue hat. gourd.If it's not for the experts, those things with different styles really can't be made.

Chen's father and Chen's mother looked at the coffin and wept uncontrollably. When they were excited, they simply bent down on the coffin for a while, and performed the whole atmosphere vividly.Chen Yan couldn't help the tears in his eyes.

And the time soon came to the day of the funeral, and it happened to be raining lightly.Father Chen walked slowly in front of the coffin holding the old man's portrait, while the others followed closely behind. On the muddy road, whenever the ditches and bridges turned, and passers-by fired their cannons, the old man's immediate family members would all get down. Kneel down, ask the old man not to go wrong, and thank the passers-by for their kindness.

In this kind of occasion, it doesn't matter that "a man has gold under his knees", all he has is a group of "bereaved dogs", who seem to be making the final retention with their loved ones, and seem to be begging for everything from passers-by.Along the way, the music is sad and sad, and the mourning sounds are constant.After stumbling like this for several hours, I finally reached the mountain.

This is a sunny half-hillside, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and facing the sky on one side. I heard that this is a rare geomantic treasure land, which can bless the burials with wealth and wealth for generations.The tomb is located in a relatively open place.Everything is ready, and when the time comes, the official burial can begin.

I saw the Earth Immortal holding the bronze compass and compared it around the tomb. After making a stroke, he muttered something in his mouth, and then he brought the big red rooster to perform Fa-rectification on the spot, sprinkled the blood of the chicken on the ground, and threw it away again. Put a handful of grains into the tomb, and then shouted: "Bury..."

The coffin gradually fell below the horizon, and the crying sounded again fiercely...

In this way, the old man lived on that green hill forever.

After getting what they wanted, the Guoan people went back after attending the old man's funeral. As for the money, they said that it would be put into Chen Yan's account.As for Mr. Shangguan and his party, except for himself and Shangguan Yun who stayed behind, the others had already gone back first.

"Okay, Yanyan. I believe grandma will be fine in heaven. If she sees you like this, she will worry about you and be unhappy." Tang Mo comforted Chen Yan.

Ever since the old man was buried, Chen Yan has been silent all the time.Tang Mo watched anxiously from the side, Yanyan would have big troubles if he didn't cry or make trouble like this.Tang Mo was afraid that Chen Yan's mental tension would be unbearable to his body.

"Grandma is very good to me..." Chen Yan spoke in a low voice, if you don't concentrate and listen carefully, you can hardly hear it.

"I know, I know, Yanyan is not sad!" Tang Mo comforted Chen Yan.

"Grandma was really good to me, why did she die! Why is this!" Chen Yan threw himself on Tang Mo's body and cried.

"Cry, cry! Just cry." Seeing Chen Yan crying, Tang Mo finally felt relieved.

When this person is distraught, he cries loudly, so that the grief can be vented, and the spirit can suddenly feel a lot easier, which is undoubtedly of great benefit to health.
