Fool Qi

10 Burial
After an hour, Sister Li came back.

"What's the matter?" Sister Li shouted when she reached the door, regardless of the sweat on her head.

Sister Wang kept watch, and when she saw Sister Li came back, she got up quickly and said, "Look, Du Bo seems to be..."

Sister Li ran to Du Bo's bedside, probed Du Bo's nose with her fingers, and felt for Du Bo's pulse.

All the symptoms were the same as when her father left.

She sighed, and wiped the palm of her right hand from Dubo's eyebrow.

"He's really gone."

After finishing speaking, he conveniently put the quilt over Du Bo's head.

"Poor man, after he dies, his children are not around." Sister Li said.

Sister Wang also sighed, and said, "Isn't it? It's been a lifetime of hard work. In the end, I won't even be able to see my children for the last time."

Sister Li frowned: "If he had money, he wouldn't have left so fast. Hey, what a pity. I just don't know where his son and daughter are. If I know, it's good to go back and have a last look at the old man. His son is a dutiful son, but for some reason I haven’t seen him for several years.”

"What about his daughter?" Sister Wang asked.

Sister Li shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't seen you for almost a year."

"Hey!"

……

Ah Qi was beside her, so she couldn't understand what the two were talking about.Seeing that the old man was covered by a sheet, he wanted to pull it away, but he didn't dare.

Just a burst of wailing.

The two knew that he was sad, so they let him cry.

When it was dawn, Sister Li called a few people and found a place to bury Du Bo.

Ah Qi followed behind, not knowing what they were doing, and felt something was wrong when they buried the ground.

He threw himself on the coffin and cried loudly on his stomach.

Seeing this, the people around stopped.Everyone held a shovel and watched quietly, unable to bear to pull Ah Qi away.

Ah Qi patted vigorously and kowtowed his head all the time, but he couldn't call Du Bo any more.

Sister Li walked over and pulled Ah Qi down: "Ah Qi, Du Bo is asleep. Don't make trouble, be careful that he beats you."

Ah Qi walked down suspiciously.

I stopped crying, picked up the sacrifice, and ate it.

From yesterday afternoon to now, he hasn't eaten a grain of rice, he is indeed hungry.

Everyone watched him eat with gusto and didn't stop him.

Continue to bury the soil.

There was no mourning, no mourning, and after a touch of soil was scattered, the old man finally died in the ground.

Ah Qi sat on the side when he was full, suddenly forgot what he was going to do, and looked at the people walking around in front of him foolishly.

Sister Li originally wanted to ask Ah Qi to kowtow and kneel down, but seeing Ah Qi like this, she couldn't bear it anymore.When everything was in place, he bowed respectfully to the grave.

It's time to go.

She also groaned.

The crowd gradually dispersed, Sister Li looked at Ah Qi, whether to leave or not to leave, it was a dilemma.

If you take him home, will you raise him in the future?Even thinking about it is scary.If he doesn't take it home, will he starve to death here?

After thinking about it for a long time, she made up her mind: let him stay here for a few days and see how it goes, and then come to see him after the family affairs are settled.

She patted Ah Qi on the shoulder and said, "Ah Qi, I'll go back first. You stay here to guard Du Bo, okay?"

Ah Qi tilted her neck and grinned, completely unresponsive.

Sister Li could tell that Ah Qi probably couldn't understand what she was saying at all.She shook her head and turned to leave.

But Ah Qi rushed over, hugged Sister Li's leg with both hands, and said, "Dub, Du Bo, I'm hungry."

Sister Li pulled Ah Qi, but found that she couldn't pull it, so she said, "Ah Qi, Du Bo is sleeping inside."

Ah Qi looked at the raised grave along Sister Li's fingers.

It's just a pile of wet cement, and there's no sign of Du Bo.

Ah Qi cried: "Dubber, I'm hungry."

Sister Li took advantage of the half moment when he was in a daze, pulled out her legs, and walked away quickly without looking back.

Ah Qi didn't catch up.

He sat on the grass and looked at the direction that Sister Li had just pointed.

He only knew that, just like before, he would always wait for Dubo to come back.

He's used to it.

The sun goes down and night comes.

Ah Qi couldn't wait for Du Bo to come, so he had to continue eating the offerings.

Although it is not delicious, it is good to fill the stomach.

There is no light anywhere, and no moonlight.very quiet.

Ah Qi lay on her side on the ground and fell asleep.In the middle of the night, when I woke up, I couldn't find anyone, and wept loudly, which caused the dogs to bark.Tired of crying, continue to sleep.

In this way, at sunrise and sunset, Ah Qi slept in front of the grave for three days and cried for three days, hoarse.

People passing by knew that he was stupid, and no one came to pay attention to him.

On the third night, Ah Qi stopped crying suddenly.He seemed to have forgotten what he was crying for, and started laughing instead.

"Hahaha……"

Then, his head went black and he passed out.

Autumn mornings are always a bit chilly.

Ah Qi sneezed and woke up.

The clothes on his body were already wet with dew, and he was extremely cold. When a gust of wind passed by, Ah Qi sneezed several times.

He stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and brushed the grass clippings on his head.He has come to his senses.

The surroundings are strange and familiar, but this new grave is very dazzling.

There is no stele, so I don't know who it is.

He scratched his head: "How did I come here?"

The path ahead was rugged, and there was no one to be seen, only the sun that had just risen.

He had the impression that he saved a child and seemed to have gone to the hospital, but he really couldn't figure out what happened afterwards.

It was a desolate place, and he didn't want to stay for a long time. Looking at the path, he walked over.

He doesn't know where the road ahead is, he only knows that he has to go to a crowded place in order to survive.Maybe one day, he will be lucky enough to meet a kind person who will take him to his family.Maybe, with a bit of luck, he'd meet his sister or his parents somewhere.

Alive, there is a chance.

This was the only thing on his mind.

After walking around the corner, someone stopped him: "Ah Qi!"

That person yawned, it was Sister Li.

It turned out that after three or four days, she was still worried about what happened to Ah Qi, so she ran over early in the morning, not wanting to run into him by chance.

Ah Qi only felt that the person in front of him was very strange, but he felt that this person was very familiar to him.So, he stopped and asked, "You are?" His voice was very hoarse.

"You are?" Sister Li was taken aback for a moment.She didn't expect Ah Qi to ask such a question at all. Take a closer look, the man's clothes, figure, and even hairstyle, no matter how you look at it, look like Ah Qi, so he shouldn't be mistaken.

"Aren't you Ah Qi?" Sister Li asked.

Ah Qi thought that this woman should have helped him, so she nodded and said, "I am Ah Qi. I was a little mentally ill before, but now I am a little more sober."

Sister Li frowned when she heard this. This man is not stupid at all, but he has a pretty face, and he doesn't look like a liar. Could it be that he is really what he said?

"Call me Sister Li, and I'll take you to a place."

Ah Qi said, "Okay, I'll trouble you."

Sister Li brought Ah Qi back to the place where Du Bo was buried.
