Chapter 692: A Banquet Turns into a Funeral (2)
Chu Xiaomu felt even more bored. A careless remark he made while drunk actually killed an old man who was two or three hundred years old. Moreover, this old man was the spiritual doctor of Liucao Village, which made him feel very guilty.
Fortunately, the villagers of Liucao Village were very reasonable. Liu Chengguang said that Chu Xiaomu did not say anything wrong. He did not expect that he had touched some part of Doctor Liu's body that made him so angry. However, he was the one who jumped up and wanted to hurt people. He was provoked to death because of this. He could not blame anyone else except himself.
Liu Chengguang was the village chief of Liucao Village. Now he is still the village chief of Caogou Village after moving to Yutuo City. He immediately ordered to hold a funeral for the old man who died suddenly. Soon, more than a hundred villagers arrived one after another to see off the old doctor who died suddenly.
Liu Guixi had his own residence, but he had no children or descendants, and he died in Liu Chenggui's home, so the funeral was naturally hosted by his family.
There was no red tape at Bicheng's funeral, except that the whole village, young and old, wore white flowers to bid farewell to the deceased. However, now was not the season for white flowers to bloom, so Liu Chengguang had to arrange for a skillful woman to make more than a hundred white cloth flowers with silk in a hurry, and then each person wore one on his chest.
Then they found a place with good clime, dug a grave of four or five feet, wrapped Liu Guixi's body in several thick layers of cotton and linen, and placed it in the grave.
Several strong young men were shoveling soil to fill the pit, while an old man was singing a farewell song for the deceased, wishing him rest in peace.
There was a rustling sound of shoveling the earth, the sound of reciting words, the body was buried in the loess, and finally it became one with the earth.
A happy event to entertain guests turned into a funeral in the blink of an eye, which made everyone sigh.
Chu Xiaomu didn't know what to say. He also wore a big white flower on his chest and followed the villagers to the hillside where Doctor Liu Ling was buried. He stood among the crowd and wished the old man who died because of him to rest in peace.
Xiaoying didn't understand what happened. She only knew that after entering the tent of Liu Yingzi's family, an old man suddenly knelt down in front of her and called her "fairy". Then the old man asked Xiaomu brother a few questions, and then jumped up from the ground and pounced on him viciously. This old man couldn't even walk, so why did he still have the strength to pounce on Xiaomu brother?
And why did the old man call himself a "fairy"? And he said he had seen her before. In her memory, she grew up with the flower fairy sister on Baihua Peak. It was not until three or four years ago that she first went down the cliff to the South Village of Baihua Island where Xiaomu lived. It was impossible for her to have seen this old man.
Looking at the strange funerals of the villagers, she became curious again, and soon put this sad thing behind her.
By the time Liu Guixi's funeral was over, it was already dark.
Ah Qi used the excuse that he had to go back that day because of something important in the military camp. In fact, he did it to avoid embarrassing Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying.
Liu Chenggui and his family had originally wanted to keep Yu Aqi and the other two overnight, but suddenly this incident happened, and they couldn't bring themselves to ask for it. They could only say some comforting words and say goodbye to them.
Liu Yingzi led out her horse and said she would take them out of the ravine, and no one refused.
The four of them rode their horses slowly out of the village. Suddenly, they heard a childish voice behind them calling, "Sister, sister... I want to go with you too..." Liu Huzi chased after them, swaying from side to side.
The four of them had no choice but to stop and wait. Liu Yingzi scolded, "You are just a child, why do we need you to come and see us off?!"
Liu Huzi panted and said, "Yu Er...Yu Er Maozi said he wanted to...give me a spear from the Bicheng Army. I...I will go get it today!"
Liu Yingzi frowned and asked, "Who is Yu Ermaozi? Such an ugly name!"
Liu Huzi pointed at Aqi and said, "It's him!"
Liu Yingzi stared at Aqi in surprise and asked, "Your name is not Yu Aqi, but Yu Ermaozi?"
Aqi was extremely embarrassed and could only say that it was given to him by Chu Xiaomu and other slaves in the same slave house when he was a slave in Jiaoshan.
Liu Yingzi held back her laughter for a long time, and finally burst out laughing. The louder she laughed, the more she couldn't stop. The other four people were infected by her laughter and also laughed. The sadness of Liu Lingyi's death was instantly swept away.
Liu Yingzi held back her laughter and said to Aqi in all seriousness, "Well, I'll call you Ermaozi from now on!"
Aqi made an indifferent expression and said, "Whatever."
"Ermaozi, did you really promise Huzi to give him a Bicheng Army spear?"
"That's true, but I'm talking about next time."
"When is the next time?"
"Next time is next time, when else can it be?"
Liu Huzi immediately became anxious and shouted, "Sister, don't listen to him. The next time he mentioned is just like tomorrow, it will never come."
Liu Yingzi asked, "Why won't he come tomorrow? It's already the hour of Xu, and tomorrow will be in less than two hours."
"Oh, by that time tomorrow becomes today, and the day after tomorrow becomes tomorrow..." After getting some explanation from his uncle, Liu Huzi finally figured out the relationship.
"Nonsense, it will be tomorrow in two hours, how could tomorrow become today?" Liu Yingzi still didn't understand.
