My understanding is against the sky, I create a family of villains and longevity

Chapter 240 Death is not losing life, but walking out of time (Illusion of Life and Death Part [-])
[The sky is still gloomy, but the heavy rain has stopped at some point. 】

[You walked lightly on the muddy mountain road, your thoughts becoming complicated. 】

[In the past, you thought death was a lively thing. 】

[Because as long as someone dies, it means your family has business again, and your father who has made money will take you to the town to buy candied haws. 】

[In addition, at the funeral, there was even more excitement with the beating of gongs and drums. Every midnight, there was a dedicated chef responsible for cooking bowls of hot tofu noodles, which was your favorite. 】

[Therefore, your perception of death is never a bad thing. 】

[Only today, when your heart feels clogged and your nose feels sour, do you really understand that death is really a very sad thing. 】

[At this moment, you really want to explore what the true meaning of death is. 】

[You ask the old man carrying the coffin next to you, what is death? 】

[The old master held a pipe with peeling paint in his mouth, shook the pipe in his hand, and then took another puff of smoke, and then said with a smile: "Xingyaozi?"Why do you ask?Death is death, what else could it be? '】

[You raised your forehead after hearing this, and had no choice but to ask another old coffin-carrying master, what is death? 】

[The old master was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and showed his yellow teeth and said: "If you die, you will gain nothing, and everything will be lost?"]

[After saying that, the old master glanced at you and felt that you seemed not satisfied with the answer, so he scratched his head and said: "Here, look, is it raining heavily? Wait until the sun comes out tomorrow. The rain that had fallen this time, including the rain stains on the ground, has all disappeared, and there is no trace of the rain anymore. Isn’t it like a person has died?"]

[When you hear this, you can’t help but be slightly startled. 】

[Is death just a rain?When the rain passes and the sky clears, and the rain stains disappear, is it considered dead? 】

[You don’t know whether this statement is right or wrong, but you keep it in your heart silently. 】

[After you got home, you asked your father again, what is death? 】

[Your father was startled and glanced at you in surprise, as if he was a little surprised, but how could you ask this question as a teenager? 】

[He did not answer in a hurry, but thought about it and said:
"Xing Yazi, in fact, what is death, there is never a single and correct answer, what do you think it is, it is what it is.

Over the years, I have traveled all over the country and held many funerals. Everyone behaves differently before death.

Some people feel fear of death. I once saw a prisoner in the Yamen of Huangqiao Town. After learning that he was about to die, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. His face was full of fear, and he shouted to the sky and the earth. Begging not to die.

I have also seen someone who is unusually calm and free when facing death. For him, death is just a journey to go home, and then start again with a different destination.

I have also seen someone smile when facing death. I still remember what that person said to me, death is not losing life, but walking out of time. "]

at this moment.

Chen Zhixing, whose thoughts had already fallen into chaos, suddenly woke up briefly.

"die."

"It's not that you lost your life, but that you walked out of time?" Chen Zhixing murmured to himself, thoughtfully.

Indistinctly, he seemed to have grasped something.

next moment.

His thoughts fell into chaos again and merged into that picture.

[When you heard your father’s words, you couldn’t help but feel a little distracted. 】

[You never thought that your father, who can’t even write in Chinese characters, would actually say something of such caliber. 】

[Then, your father looked at the sky, sighed, and continued:

"Death is never scary. If you think about it on the bright side, it is actually a cocoon that transforms into a butterfly and returns to the sky; it is snow that turns into water and returns to the earth; it is a drop of water that sinks into rivers and oceans and merges with the whole world from then on. .

People will worry about gains and losses and suffer endless torture when they are alive, but once they die, they will actually lose nothing, which is good. ”]

[After your father finished speaking, you couldn't help but nodded in understanding. 】

[Spring passes and autumn comes, and the white horse passes by. 】

[Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. 】

[A few years have passed, and you have gradually become calmer from the hot-blooded young man you were at the beginning, and you are now working as a coffin bearer. 】

[You have been on your own over the years and have shouldered many things for your father. 】

[In these years, you have sent away many people. 】

[There are boys and girls who are clearly in their youth and have just begun their lives, there are old people who have worked hard all their lives and have died, there are many dignitaries who are rich and have power and wealth. There are too many. 】

[Among them, there are many people who have made you feel sorry. That person was so kind and full of life, but he left right away. 】

[One of your childhood friends also passed away due to a serious illness. You cried so hard that your eyes were swollen from crying. 】

[Time passes slowly and you gradually grow up. 】

[Maybe it’s because you’ve seen so much life, separation, and death that you can gradually become calm and indifferent towards death. 】

[Your understanding of death is getting deeper and deeper. 】

[In your opinion, in fact, most people are dying day after day while they are alive. 】

[The so-called death is just the cessation of the previous days. 】

[Death is never a constant word. 】

[It's like a person you pass by. Maybe that pass is the last time you meet him in this life. 】

[You think that maybe the real death is to disappear and be forgotten forever in the hearts of those you really care about. 】

【Spring passes and autumn comes, time turns around. 】

[Another year in the middle of winter, your father suddenly suffered from a serious illness, and then his physical condition declined rapidly. In just a few days, he looked as if he had aged dozens of years. His hair was gray, his body was skinny, and his eyes were sunken. 】

[A sense of death permeated his body. 】

[That day, you knelt in front of his bed. 】

[You have seen too many people before they die. You know that your father is going to die and leave completely. 】

[At that moment, you thought you had seen through life and death, and you burst into tears, crying unnaturally. 】

[Your father stretched out his old and thin hand tremblingly, gently wiped away the tears on your face with his rough fingers, and then said with a smile:
"Xingyaozi, don't cry. Do you still remember what dad told you before? Death is not terrible, nor is it the opposite of life, but it will last forever as a part of life!"]

[In an instant, you were startled. 】

[Death is not the opposite of life, but an eternal part of life! 】

[It turns out that life and death are never separated! 】

(Friendly reminder: For the following content, friends who are convenient can open the music software on their mobile phones, and then search for the song "So Many People in the World", and read silently while adding BGM, the effect will be even better~~~)

[Your father did not survive this severe winter after all. 】

[The New Year's Eve and the New Year's Eve turn out to be a real hurdle. 】

[According to your father’s last wish, he said that he has been involved in other people’s funerals too many times in his life. It can be summed up in one word: tired. 】

[If he dies, just carry him to a better place and bury him, just don’t worry about all those things. 】

[Not to mention laboring one's life and damaging one's wealth, there is no peace even after death. 】

[You complied with his last wish and did not make a grand scene. Instead, you found a location on a sunny slope and buried him in it. 】

[That day, there was heavy snowfall, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver. 】

[You wear sackcloth and mourning, carry the coffin, and walk towards the mountain. 】

[The wind is biting and the cold is biting into the knife. You carry the coffin and step on the snow-covered mountain road, leaving deep and shallow footprints one after another. 】

[You have carried many people's coffins in your half life, but you never thought that you would eventually carry your father's coffin with your own hands. 】

[Then, you hoeed away the snow and dug up the ground, and then panting, you carried his coffin in. 】

[My father was lying quietly in the coffin, as if he had fallen asleep in the past, but his face was pale and a little scary. 】

[A trace of frost and snow fell on his body, forming crystal ice flowers on his eyebrows and eyelids. 】

[He has never praised you much in his life, and there is even very little communication between you and your son. Even if there is a conversation, he is scolding you for being careless, unable to do anything well, and destined to be useless in the future. 】

[When you were young, when you heard him say these words, you would always have a heated argument with him, and you would feel angry in your heart. Why wouldn't your father say such nice things? 】

[But now, you look at your father lying quietly in the coffin, but how much you hope that he can stand up and scold you as usual, even if it makes you bloody, you will definitely smile. I promised that I would not argue with him again. 】

[But, there is no such opportunity anymore. 】

[The old master next to you wiped the mouth of the pipe, and then threw the pipe and pipe to you. 】

[You squat on the grave, smoking a cigarette. 】

[The old master said from the side: "Xingyaozi, don't blame your father for being so strict with you back then. People of our generation have never read any books and don't know any great principles. We are all newbies. Being a father for the first time, who knows how to teach children? But we all know that we will leave earlier than you in the future, so we must take care of you while we are still here and teach you everything we know. For you? Otherwise, even if we die, we won’t be able to rest assured.”]

[You puffed away at the cigarette without replying. 】

[Later, you took one last look at your father, then sealed the coffin and covered it with earth and earth. 】

[When you go down the mountain, the footprints you left in the snow have been covered with snow and there are no traces left. 】

[Everything looks like there are no traces of being here before. 】

[You can't help but be stunned, and you have a new understanding of death. 】

【What is death?It's the end, it's farewell, it's irrevocable, it's the hand that can no longer be held, the temperature that can't be felt, and the words 'Dad, I'm back' that can no longer be said. 】

[Death is like an eternal beacon. No matter where you go, you will eventually turn towards it. 】

[In a daze, you look back at the sunny slope. 】

[Heavy snow falls, a lonely tomb stands, white soul flags blow in the cold wind, yellow paper is picked up by the wind and floats into the distance. 】

[When spring comes next year, spring flowers will bloom on this hillside, the sun will shine, and endless new life will sprout from this hillside. 】

[Only those who sleep in the earth will never wake up and truly pass away. 】

[Back home, you, who had been looking blank, looked at the room where no one was holding the light anymore, your father's clothes before he was alive, even the bowls he used to eat during the week, and there were also things he had hoarded during the first month in the cellar. Chinese cabbage. 】

[For some reason, you couldn't help crying. 】

[At this time, you really understand that your father is really dead! 】

[Time passes slowly. 】

[Without your father, you become extremely lonely. 】

[Although you had no communication with him before, but no communication anymore, as long as he is there, everything is actually fine. 】

[And now that he is gone, no one will light a lamp and heat a bowl of rice for you in advance when you go home. 】

[You feel like you have completely become a child abandoned by the world, turned into a drop of moss in the vast world. 】

[You can't help but have a new understanding. It turns out that once your parents die in this life, life becomes the way back. 】

[You even wonder in your heart, will the end of death not be nothingness, but a reunion after a long separation? 】

[Time passes slowly. 】

[After your father left, you completely took over your father's funeral business. It was only then that you truly supported a family, and you couldn't help but feel lucky that your father had been meticulous and strict with you. 】【It is precisely because of your original strictness that you are able to deal with things calmly now. 】

[However, although your family background is good, because of the industry you are in, it is still too taboo, so you have been crowned for several years, and no matchmaker has come to propose marriage. 】

[It wasn’t until you were in your twenties that Mrs. Wang at the entrance of the village found you and said to Miss Xiulian from the next village, would you consider taking the exam? 】

[You have been lonely for too long. Whenever you see other people’s homes with lights brightly lit and couples joining in, why don’t you envy them? 】

[You didn’t nod in agreement or shake your head in rejection, you just whispered two words: “Take a look.”]

[Wang Po left with a smile. One morning after staying for a few days, she came with two people. 】

[The person walking in front is a middle-aged peasant woman with a round waist, a dark face, and a vigorous walk. She looks like she is a leader in farm work. 】

[The one following behind is a timid girl with fair skin, delicate appearance, thin figure, low eyebrows and smooth eyes. 】

[The peasant woman walking in front pulled her and complained impatiently: "You sick and consumptive ghost, walk faster. If you can't get married again today, you can just pack up and leave. Your brother and I will But I don’t have time to take care of you.”]

[The girl responded timidly and walked forward, but she had to take a breath from time to time. One look showed that her health was not good. 】

【She is Xiulian. 】

[My parents passed away early when I was young, so I lived with my father’s cousin. 】

[She was born weak. During her childhood, she lived in a woodshed and contracted wind-cold and lung disease. Not only was she unable to do anything, but she also coughed violently in cold weather. 】

[In a village where the population is the labor force, Xiulian is almost completely ignored by her family. Her cousin and sister-in-law's family have long wanted to get rid of her. 】

[It’s just that in every household, women hold up half the sky. Who is willing to find such a sick child to come out and cause trouble to his family? 】

[So, the two of you, who are almost equally abandoned by the world and full of self-confidence, met like this. 】

[She timidly raised her head and looked at you. 】

[The next moment, both of you felt slightly relaxed. 】

[Although the two of them had already made a plan in their minds from the beginning, as long as the opponent was not too bad, there would be nothing to choose from. 】

[But more or less, I still have some worries in my heart. 】

[Xiulian heard that people who work in the funeral industry often have physical deficiencies. While on the road, she couldn't help but imagine that the person she was meeting today would be a lifeless old man with acne on his face. head. 】

[But what I see of you is that you have a tall and handsome figure. Although you are not very handsome in appearance, you still have a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. 】

[Almost instantly, her face turned red and she lowered her head. Immediately, she couldn't help but wonder to herself, would such a person really like such a sick person? 】

[She couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart. 】

[And you, the moment you saw her as a girl, you knew in your heart that it had to be her! 】

[Whether it's love at first sight, or whether it's love at first sight, I have to say that the woman in front of me, whose skin is so white that her skin is glowing, and who has a delicate and gentle appearance, is like no one in this place. 】

[For other families, asking for a wife is asking for a labor force. What they want is someone who is big and round and can do farm work. 】

[As for you, all you want is a woman you can at least look at. 】

[As for whether this woman can do farm work? 】

[To be honest, the wealth accumulated by three generations of your ancestors, coupled with your own efforts over the years, is second to none in the entire Huangqiao Town. 】

[So, while the matchmaker and the peasant woman were chattering away, spittle flying everywhere, you simply took out ten taels of silver from your sleeve and slapped it on the table. 】

["What a girl, ten taels of silver?" The peasant woman's eyes widened, and there was a burst of disbelief on her face. 】

[This is ten taels of silver. If converted into food, it would be enough for their family to eat for a year. 】

[So, without any nostalgia, the peasant woman took the matchmaker and left happily. 】

[And you and Xiulian looked at each other, and they both laughed in unison. 】

[Because you both know. 】

[You now have your own home in this brightly lit world. 】

[You and Xiulian are married. 】

[I didn’t inform anyone, and I didn’t go to a grand event. 】

[Pasted a bright red word '囍' on the window, then changed the bed to new bedding, went to the town to buy new clothes, and then we were together. 】

[That night, with the red candles swaying, you two sat on the bedside, eating wedding candies together, and couldn't help but giggle together as you ate. 】

[You all know that outsiders are discussing you secretly, saying that one of you is a dead man and the other is a dead man with consumption. There are many rumors. 】

[But you don’t care at all. 】

【Live your life for yourself, not for others. 】

[Only if you are really tired of talking, you can say: "Tonight, I will let the friends of Yizhuang go to play with you."]

[As soon as these words were said, those people were immediately frightened to the point of peeing and their souls were expelled. 】

[And you couldn’t help but laugh. 】

[The days after getting married were very ordinary, not as exciting and romantic as in novels and biographies. 】

[However, those ordinary days are the greatest happiness for you two. 】

【You have a family. 】

【You are no longer alone in this world. 】

[Every morning when you get up, someone will make breakfast for you and put on your clothes. 】

[When you go home every night, no matter how late you come back, there is always a light on at home, and there is always a bowl of hot rice heating in the pot. It is heated over and over again. There is always someone, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter. Leaning in front of the threshold waiting for your return. 】

[She will bring you hot water and gently scrub the dirt and dirt from your body with a towel. 】

[The bed is no longer cold, and there is no need to worry about not having time to wash the clothes. There is even a small courtyard opened in front of the house, a group of chickens are raised, and a vegetable is planted. 】

[Xiulian is weak and sick and cannot do farm work, but she is still trying her best to help you. Not only does she keep the house in order and clean, but when you go out to work, she helps make paper figures and horses at home. , knitting clothes. 】

[At this moment, you finally understand, what is life?this is life! 】

[Of course, people are all mutual. 】

[You are equally good to Xiulian. In terms of food and clothing, even though she is frugal by nature and is afraid that you will spend too much money, you still give her the best no matter what. 】

[For a while, the women in the village started out sour, then gradually turned into silence, and finally turned into envy that could not be concealed on their faces. 】

[Everyone is saying that Xiulian, a poor person, never imagined that a sparrow could fly on a branch and become a phoenix, finding such a good family. 】

[During the journey, Xiulian’s cousin-in-law also saw that Xiulian’s life was getting better, and she felt uneasy and wanted to come over to stir up trouble. 】

[You then directly called the other coffin bearers, paper makers, horse paste makers, suona makers, etc. in Yi Zhuang. You went to the cousin-in-law’s house that night, hung paper figures at the door, and beat gongs and drums. , blowing mournful music and holding a big show. 】

[The cousin-in-law’s family was frightened and frightened. By holding a funeral for a living person, wasn’t it a curse for their family to die early? 】

[Looking at the eight coffin bearers who followed you, holding poles and big shoulders, and your cousin’s husband rushed out with a hatchet, ready to fight, he silently put the knife back and sealed a red envelope for you. I sent you back with a smile on my face. 】

[For a time, no one will dare to disturb your lives. 】

[A few years later, Xiulian gave birth to a child for you. 】

[The child was born with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain, with skin color, eyebrows and eyes like hers, and face shape and facial features like yours. 】

[Looking at the birth of a new life, you can’t help but sigh, how wonderful it is. 】

[You have already passed half of your life, and this new life has just begun. 】

[In this world, people keep dying and people keep being born. 】

[Between life and death, you vaguely seem to have grasped something. 】

[Neither life nor death can be controlled, but the life in between can be controlled. 】

【The best taste in the world is pure joy. 】

【Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle. 】

【Time never forgives anyone. 】

[In the blink of an eye, spring passes and autumn comes, and 20 years pass. 】

[In 20 years, you have become older, your body is not as good as before, your hair has turned more than half gray, and you can't even lift the coffin. 】

[Your child has gone to Beijing to take the exam a long time ago and has not been back for many years. 】

[Your life is almost the same as that of your father, but the biggest difference is that you did not kill your child's dream. 】

[He wants to study and gain fame. Although you know that the possibility is slim, you still support him to do it without hesitation. 】

【Not for anything else, just because he can live his own life. 】

[You rarely interfere in funeral matters anymore, so naturally there will be people below to take care of it. 】

[Most of your time has been given to Xiulian. 】

[It is only then that you understand that in this life, parents and children are all passers-by, and only the people beside you are the ones who support each other through life. 】

[Actually, you never know whether you have ever loved Xiulian. 】

[But all this is no longer important, because Xiulian has long become the water you need to drink and the food you need to eat in your life, and has become a habit that has been integrated into your every day. 】

[It’s just that her lung disease is getting worse and worse. 】

[When you are young, you can still carry it with your body. When you get older, all the functions of your body begin to decline rapidly, and naturally you can no longer carry it. 】

[At first, she just coughed violently, but later, she was out of breath. Every time she coughed, she coughed up a lot of blood. 】

【You spent a lot of money for her, but at the end, she was the one who cried and shouted, telling you not to spend any more money for her. 】

[Because if she dies, there will always be someone alive who will continue to live. 】

[But if all the money is spent and she leaves, what will the living people do? 】

【It’s late autumn again. 】

[She couldn't hold on any longer and fell on the hospital bed. 】

[She was suffering from illness, and she could no longer find the shadow of Bai Yueguang in her body. 】

[On the contrary, every breath she takes is torture, every word she speaks is torture. 】

【Every day I spend in this world is extremely painful. 】

[On a late autumn morning, the weather that had been gloomy for many days finally cleared up. 】

[A warm morning sun rises from the horizon. 】

【However, when the sun rises and a new day arrives, Xiulian's life stops at yesterday. 】

[She is dead. 】

　I feel like I’ve been a little bit youthful lately, well, I need to change it! !

　　Then, there are only 10 minutes until September, everyone, please vote, let’s give it a try again!
