From one person to nine to five

Chapter 59
crunch--

The door of the ward was pushed open, and two slightly haggard figures came out of the room.

Xu Si walked out of the ward, scratching his head somewhat uncomfortably, then subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and prepared to light one.

"Smoking is not allowed in the hospital!" The passing nurse frowned when she saw the other party's movement, and snapped sharply.

The smile on Xu Si's face was exhausted and helpless, and he finally put away the cigarette, apologizing repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"..." Xu Fu sat on the chair outside the door and glanced at the two of them, then couldn't help but look into the room again.

Xu Xiang's face at this time seemed to be a little ruddy, as if there was a sign of returning to the light, but the death energy rising above his head was already an oil lamp that was about to be extinguished.

Beside the hospital bed, Feng Baobao was lying beside the other person with his head propped up, his face still showed no emotion, it seemed that everything had nothing to do with him, and at this moment there was no sadness or joy.

The room was very quiet, no one spoke, but the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

"The boxwood pole is soft and smooth, so my brother, Harry, pick a piece of white rice and go to Liuzhou...Sister, sister, come to Liuzhou, brother, Harry... Come to Liuzhou, brother, Harry..."

Feng Baobao sang a tune softly and reached out to stroke the old man's head, as if coaxing the child to sleep.

And the old man also opened his mouth as if he wanted to close a few words, but he couldn't make any sound after all. At this moment, the death energy above his head had condensed into a dark cloud...

"The eldest sister combs a coiled dragon, and the second sister combs a camellia button..."

Feng Baobao did not seem to notice anything, and still chanted in a low voice, "Only the third sister combed so cleverly, brother, Harry, combing a lion rolling hydrangea..."

Slowly stroking the old man's head, coaxing him to gradually fall asleep, falling into the dream that may never wake up.

crunch--

The door was closed by Xu San, and he couldn't help pushing his glasses with his hand. His eye sockets looked a little rosy, but he couldn't help turning his head away after quickly noticing Xu Fu's gaze.

Xu Fu didn't know what to say at this time, but perhaps it was best not to say anything at this time.

I didn't have much contact with Xu Xiang, but occasionally visited the hospital with Xu Si a few times, and the other party was also in a coma, so I didn't feel much about the death of this stranger.

What's more, inheriting Fang Xiangshi needs to see through life and death, not only your own life and death, but also the life and death of others...

Although it would not cut off the seven emotions and six desires because of this, it finally became like Feng Baobao's piece of wood.

But I'm used to this kind of scene, so I won't feel any sentimentality because of it.

"Huh, Fuzi, go out with me to breathe..." Xu Si wiped his face with a heavy tone.

It seems that there are still many things to say, but the words are still not uttered when they reach the mouth, and thousands of words are turned into a sigh.

"..." Xu Fu didn't ask any more questions, and just followed the other party and left.

Although I know that it is definitely not as simple as going out to take a breath, but I can vaguely guess a little bit.

……

"Huh..." Xu Si went to the smoking area in the garden next to the hospital building and lit a cigarette, then took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke ring.

Neither of them opened their mouths until they were silent for a while, then looked at Xu Fu and couldn't help asking, "I want to ask you for a favor, but I don't know your rules, so I'll ask first."

"Ask." Xu Fu glanced at the other party, knowing that the other party would never discuss business with him at this time.

But if you ask this question deliberately, it is probably the same as what you guessed, but even if you guessed this kind of thing, you can't say it directly, you can only wait for the other party to say it.

"What are the rules for you to jump the square? This is not an official business, it is my personal request..."

Xu Si hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "My old man, can you dance? If it doesn't follow the rules, then follow your own rules, don't be embarrassed."

"That's not a problem. Even according to the old etiquette, Mr. Xu has a fourth-rank official position, and he is worthy of this gift..." Xu Fu was not too surprised by the other party's request.

In ancient times, Fang Xiangshi not only presided over the ceremony of expelling the epidemic, but also served as the funeral ceremony of the court.

However, if you follow the etiquette, you are eligible to enjoy this ceremony only if you have an official rank of four or more.

But now, there are only a handful of people who can jump into the square, and the existence of this ritual itself is meaningless. My old man also used the square to enter the earth, just to make sure that one can be buried in peace.

"However, you'd better not have too much hope for the complete ceremony. At most, it can only pave the way for Master Xu's exorcism and drive Fang Liang into the ground." Xu Fu chose to start the conversation first.

The complete ceremony cannot be accomplished by one person alone. Although the process is mastered, one cannot do it alone.

What's more, it's all cremation now, and a large part of the etiquette itself is missing.

"It's enough, there is no need for too complicated etiquette..."

Xu Si took another puff of the suffocating cigarette, then looked up at the sky, sighed with a wry smile, "My old man was wandering for the first half of his life, and he hardly lived a good life. Now that he is leaving, at least he can ask for a rest."

"..." Xu Fu also smiled, then lowered his head and said nothing.

I also understand the other party's thoughts very well, and there is no way to excuse such a request, and it is nothing to say in the end.

Then suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help reminding, "Did the old man find a place to bury him?"

If you choose the cemetery in the northern suburbs, it is best to change the place as soon as possible, because the feng shui of that place is really not good.

And with so many troubles happening, I'm afraid Master Xu will not be able to rest in peace if he is really buried...

"People stay here for three days, but I don't think it will be here. Take the ashes back to the mountain city. The roots of the old man are there."

Xu Si glanced at the other party, and then continued, "It can be regarded as returning to the roots of the fallen leaves. Even if they are wandering around, they still have to return to their homeland in the end. This is what the old man means."

"Then I'll just follow along, but what about the arrangements for the work here in Jinmen?" Xu Fu thought for a while, and now he still has a task hanging on him.

Although there is a high probability that there is no special situation, if it needs to be dealt with, it will be troublesome if no one can be found.

Although it may not take much time to go this way, it is better to understand the arrangements.

"I've spoken to the people at the headquarters. There will be other people here during this time. Jinmen and Beiping are close, so nothing can go wrong..."

Then Xu Si seemed to think of something again, and his eyes showed a bit of sternness, "If those bastards of Quanxing are really so blind, I will clean them up myself when I come back..."
