Lao Chen looked straight ahead with his eyes, walked into the courtyard with stiff steps, and went straight into the house.

When I reacted and walked into the room, I saw him lying upright on the door, not moving.

And the body of the child who came back with him was lying stiff beside him.

Dashuang and I took a deep breath, and Dashuang walked out and took the spirit card in.

Just when Dashuang put the spirit cards on the table, Lao Chen's mouth suddenly opened slightly, and he made a "whew" sound, like the sound of a living person growing out.

When I reacted from my stunnedness, I saw a smile on the corner of Lao Chen's mouth again.

It's just that the smile this time is completely different from when I was in the stone factory.

I don't know if I'm thinking too much, I think it's like a kind of heartfelt smile after letting go of the burden of a thousand pounds.

Old man, you are home, and you have let go of everything in this life, what should I do?

You leave this big list of questions, who will I ask to answer......

Dashuang asked me what to do next.

It seems that Lao Chen's explanation of him is quite limited.

I thought about it and said, don't care about it for now, death is great, since Lao Chen has a last word to operate according to the old rules, then follow the old rules, and stop the mortuary for three days.

Saying so, the conditions really don't allow for big operations. We could only boil water, wipe Lao Chen's body with warm water to prevent the corpse from decomposing excessively, and change his clean and neat clothes.

As for the dead child, Dashuang wanted to wipe it for him, but I stopped him.

The origin of this child's body is unknown, but it doesn't mean that Lao Chen took him back, stopped here for three days, and then he could be dragged to the crematorium with Lao Chen and incinerated.

I said to Dashuang, don't care about the child for now, three days later, if there is no change, Lao Chen will be sent to be cremated, and the child will be reported to the police.

For the next two days, Dashuang and I have been adding incense to the 'grave of the dead'.

On the evening of the third day, I began to discuss with Dashuang what to do after dawn.

After nightfall, it began to rain again.

I didn't close my eyes much for two days in a row, listening to the rustling rain outside, and gradually, the upper eyelids and lower eyelids began to fight uncontrollably.

In a daze, I suddenly shuddered.

Then I heard a voice singing loudly:

"Visitors to ......"

When he suddenly opened his eyes, he saw that the candle on the offering table was ten times brighter than before.

On the left side of the offering table, there was an old man in a long robe at some point.

Because the old man in the long shirt was standing under the lamp, I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but I could only vaguely see that he was very old, and his eyebrows were very majestic.

I was puzzled, and wanted to go up and ask who the old man was, but as soon as I got up, I saw out of the corner of my eye that someone seemed to have walked in from outside the door.

Coming in were a pair of gray-haired old men, looking at their age, if not ninety, but also in their eighties.

The two of them nodded at me and walked straight to Lao Chen's body.

The old man in the long shirt under the shadow of the lamp sang loudly again:

"A bow...... Two bows ......"

Only then did I realize that these two old men had come to offer condolences.

And the old man in the long shirt is the duty of the principal!

"Family...... thank you," the old man in the long shirt suddenly sang loudly again.

I was stunned for a moment, only to see that the old man had bowed and came to me.

Seeing the two of them bowing slightly towards me, I quickly bowed subconsciously.

Bent down halfway before I reacted in a trance, and the family thanked me? Where's my turn?

I don't have anything to do with Lao Chen, I just rent his house......

Before I could finish my thoughts, I was stunned by what I saw.

I saw that there was no shadow at the feet of the two old men in front of me......

They're ghosts!

Ghost condolences!

Just as I had this thought, two old ghost couples who were mourning had already walked out.

Then I listened to the old man in the long shirt sing again: There is a guest to ......

The 'people' who mourned came one after another, both men and women, and most of them were old people.

These people who came to mourn were not people, but they all had solemn expressions and were full of respect for the deceased. It's much more dignified than those cat-like mourners in today's reality.

I inexplicably returned the condolences to everyone who came to mourn as a family member, and I don't know how many people I sent away, but I felt that my waist was about to break.

Lao Chen, how can I be worthy of you, and my own son is nothing more than that, right?

This...... What kind of play is this?

Another group of people...... A group of mourners were sent away.

The old man in the long shirt suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Xu Fuan, incense in front of the spirit!"

Incense? I've been on it for I don't know how many times......

Forget it, don't talk nonsense.

I walked over to the offering table and subconsciously looked at the old man in the long robe.

Strangely enough, despite the close distance between the two, my face was still blurry when I saw him.

But I suddenly had a strange feeling that I had seen this old man somewhere......

Putting the incense into the incense burner, the old man in the long robe suddenly raised his voice again and said:

"Fu'an, kowtow to the old man."

I finally couldn't hold it anymore, the man has gold under his knees, I don't have a relationship with Lao Chen, why should I kowtow to him?

The old man in the long robe seemed to see through my thoughts, sighed, and said slowly:

"Kid, he's a few rounds older than you, he's leaving now, what can you do if you kowtow to him?"

The words of the old man in the long shirt were kind and majestic, and I listened to it in my ears, glanced at Lao Chen on the bed board, and nodded.

Lao Chen is afraid that he is a round older than my grandfather, so he has been sent here, and then kowtow and let him go with peace of mind, what's not to do?

I didn't hesitate any longer, walked up to the spirit, knelt down and kowtowed.

As soon as the third head fell, I heard Lao Chen's voice ringing in front of me:

"Carry me to the stele behind the house, and take the child with you."

Immediately after, I felt a darkness in front of me.

When he looked up, the candle on the offering table had returned to normal, and the man in the long shirt at the table was gone.

A strange feeling prompted me to turn around suddenly, and I saw Lao Chen standing in the middle of the courtyard, smiling and waving to me.

The old man in the long robe was standing beside him, but his back was to this side, and he still couldn't see his appearance.

"Brother Xu!"

A call woke me up from my swoop, and when I looked up, the people in the courtyard were gone.

Dashuang scratched his head, his face was a little red, and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep." ”

"Are you asleep?"

Dashuang lowered his head a little embarrassed.

I sighed: "You are asleep, that is, I did not sleep, I did not dream, and the condolences of the hundred ghosts are real." ”

"Hundred ghosts condolences?" Bigspair's eyes widened.

I nodded: "Lao Chen is gone." ”

Seeing that the sky was slightly bright and the rain had stopped, I remembered what Lao Chen said at the end, and I roughly relayed it to Dashuang.

I carried Lao Chen's body on my back again, asked Dashuang to pick up the child, and went with me to the stone monument behind the house.

When the two came to the back of the house, they found that behind the stone monument, under the root of the back wall, it seemed that a three-foot square hole had been washed away by the rain!
