Evil Bone Devourer

Chapter 29 The Farce of the Funeral
-
The family is getting better now, but it's just an ordinary family, and it's not a wealthy family, at least not as others guessed.

Grandma's status and reputation in Gushabao are based on her kindness and ability, and have nothing to do with wealth.

The relationship between Grandpa Jiang and Grandma who share weal and woe is really touching.

It took us two hours to get to Lincheng. When grandma got out of the car, many people came forward to help her. She will inevitably feel uncomfortable when she is too old to sit for a long time. It takes a long time for her to continue walking.

I feel sorry for her insisting on sitting in the back to accompany me, if she sat in the front it would not be like this.

Everyone helped move the things from the back of the car. The yard of this family is very big, and the coffin shed is set up in the middle of the yard.

"Da Bao, come here!"

After I approached, she said, "Follow me to wash your hands, we will burn incense to the old man."

Grandma was wearing a buttoned black gown, which she put on inexplicably this morning.

I asked her several times to change into a brighter colored dress, but she was too lazy to change it and I said I would change it tomorrow.

Whoever thought that the plan did not change quickly, so there is no need to change it this time.

Their city is much poorer than our Guchabao. You can't even see a small second floor, it's all wasteland and bungalows.

My grandma and I went into the house to wash our hands and then went to the mourning hall. Grandma took out six incense sticks and lit them tremblingly on the candlestick. Wisps of gray smoke rose like silk. Every time I lit incense, I felt it was a very sacred thing. thing.

Her nose was slightly red, and she straightened her back to make herself look less sad.

With a sob in his throat, he said, "Old brother, I'm here to see you off."

When the words fell, he couldn't say the second sentence.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a little empathy. If one day our generation is old and one of the Gang of Four is lying there, I feel that I cannot be as strong as my grandma.

After all, I am a person who is willing to cry at the top of my voice, and I feel very uncomfortable just thinking about it.

My eyes were wet, and I bowed deeply three times to the simple face in the black and white photo, and then inserted the incense in my hand into the incense burner.

Grandma didn't dare to be idle for a moment and immediately went to discuss other matters. I learned a lot by following her all the way.

After the old man's daughter saw her grandma, she held her hand helplessly, sobbing and said, "Auntie, my brother and I are in a daze. It was you who made the arrangement at that time, but luckily you came this time!"

Grandma persuaded: "You three brothers are all filial, your father has no regrets, don't be too sad."

Aunt Jiang wiped away her tears with her sleeve and nodded, but at this moment there seemed to be a commotion outside, and the curses became louder and louder.

Those of us in the house rushed out to have a look, and Aunt Jiang said angrily with fire in her eyes, "I don't know why my uncle is going crazy here again!"

The cursing old man was also an elderly man, well dressed, and his leather shoes were well polished.

Pointing to the clothes on the paper horse's back, he cursed: "Do you guys do things like this? Huh? When people die, they put my clothes on? Are you hoping that I will die soon?"

The paper horse usually wears a piece of clothing that the deceased often wore, which means that he will ride away on that horse.

I frowned in displeasure, it was harsh for this old man to say dead words, and funerals shouldn't be like this.

Uncle Jiang, who went to pick us up from my house, nodded and apologized, "Uncle, calm down! I really didn't know it was your clothes. I found them in my dad's closet. He usually likes this one the most. I I want him to take away something he likes, but I didn't know that it was something he picked up and wore after you didn't want it!"

The old man said aggressively: "You fart! It must be because I didn't borrow money from your family last time, and you are holding a grudge! Now you are still human if you use this dirty method to punish me?"

Uncle Jiang was so anxious that he was about to cry, he shook his head repeatedly and denied: "Really not! How could we do this!"

More and more people gathered around, chattering about everything.

Some people watched the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles, and said: "This is your fault, how disgusting people are to put other people's clothes!"

"That's right, why don't you wear the clothes bought by your children for your father? Could it be that the clothes the old man wears are all picked up?"

"Old Jiangtou has such a group of children, it is really hard life!"

Uncle Jiang stood under the accusations of everyone, unable to argue with his words, and I could feel his deep powerlessness at the moment.

Maybe it's just that Grandpa Jiang likes that suit, but suits are not often worn in such a remote place, so even if he picks up someone else's, he still likes it as a treasure.

Grandma walked over angrily, and shouted angrily: "You are making a big noise in front of the mourning hall, what are you talking about!"

The old man became more confident when he saw that everyone was speaking for him. He glanced at my grandma and asked, "What's the matter with you? It's your turn to take care of my family's affairs?"

Grandma pointed at the ground and said, "I will take care of the troubles here!"

He spat unreasonably at the place pointed by grandma, "Bah! Why didn't I know this was your place? When did Old Jiangtou start playing again?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone felt that it was a bit too much for not answering!
I was anxious when I heard it. When I was a child who was half the height of a person, I couldn’t hear anyone say no to my grandma. Now that I’m grown up, it’s even more impossible to watch others bully her. I rushed up and shouted: “Damn you Keep your mouth clean, old man! Apologize to my grandma immediately!"

"Where did you get the little girl film? I also told you that I not only spit on your grandma, but I also spit on you! Bah! Bastard!"

My eyes were red with anger, and I didn't even want to go up and tear him up.

Relying on the fact that he is old and relying on the old to sell the old, he pushed me very hard.

I took a few steps back again and again, tripped by something under my feet, leaned back straight, and crushed the paper horse to pieces with a bang.
The clothes on the horse floated in the air, as if someone was leading it, and finally fell into the brazier in the distance and burned to ashes.
Everyone present held their breath and dared not speak
Even the old man who had been causing trouble shut his mouth immediately, because the paper horse and the brazier were far away, and logically speaking, it was impossible for him to float over by himself.
This scene is simply too weird.

I lay on the ground and didn't get up for a long time. Grandma and Aunt Jiang hurried forward to help me.

Grandma asked worriedly, "Dabao, are you okay?"

I stood up grinning, and looked back to see that the clothes on the back had been scratched by bamboo strips to expose the flesh, but I was not injured at all except that the clothes were damaged.

Fortunately, he fell on the horse, and the consequences of falling into the brazier would be disastrous.
