A thin piece of pine wood was slowly carried into the tomb with two ropes by strong men from the moving service company, shouting slogans.
Beside the pit, there was a lot of noise.
Chen Xiaoduan, who was wearing a filial piety handkerchief and a hemp rope around his waist, stood quietly aside with the support of his third sister-in-law and another lesbian from the street office.
He looked at the scene in front of him coldly.
No crying, no sadness.
Chen Xiaoduan, whose face was as calm as water, just looked at everything in front of him quietly.
Under her long eyelashes, her originally dark and clear eyes had lost their original agility.
On the contrary, the kind-hearted third sister-in-law shrugged her shoulders and burst into tears. She had already become a tearful person.
Everything about Chen Xiaoduan's mother's death went smoothly.
Only when the first shovelful of loess was thrown onto the longevity materials in the tomb and made a soft "puff" sound did Chen Xiaoduan seem to suddenly come back to life!
"Mom! Get up!"
Chen Xiaoduan suddenly seemed to have gone crazy!
He suddenly broke free from the clutches of his third sister-in-law and the female clerk, and rushed toward the tomb!
"Mom, let's go home!"
"Without you, I would have no one to rely on and no one to talk to me about!"
"Mom, now that I have a job, I can support you.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, I'm not afraid."
"As long as I come home every day and walk to the door, I can say, Mom, I'm back."
"Whenever I get off work, I see a little glimmer of light on the small window at home from a distance."
"I knew my mother was waiting for me at home."
"I don't want beautiful clothes, I don't want exquisite meals.
As long as I come home and hear your footsteps and your chatter, my heart will feel at ease and I will gain inner peace."
Chen Xiaoduan rushed to the entrance of the tomb, but was tightly held back by Luo Xuan and several female neighbors...
"mom!"
Chen Xiaoduan let out a shrill scream: "Mom! Don't lie down, let's... let's go home!"
"puff--"
Old Taoist Huamao, who was standing aside and watching with cold eyes, transformed into a phantom with one palm!
The palm knife struck Chen Xiaoduan on the back of the neck with precision and speed!
"Gudong——"
Chen Xiaoduan felt his eyes go dark, and he suddenly fell limply to the ground...
"Hel her back."
Huamao Taoist sighed, "This child has a resolute heart and a strong temper. If she is too sad, her mind will be greatly damaged, and I am afraid it will leave the root of the disease..."
Just now Caimao Taoist took action very suddenly and very fast!
As they approached, even the female neighbor and the third sister-in-law standing to the left and right of Chen Xiaoduan could only see a shadow.
Others were busy with funeral matters and didn't pay attention.
Of those present, only Luo Xuan saw clearly what Huamao Taoist had done.
At that time, Luo Xuan was secretly surprised!
In an instant, I came up with seven or eight ways to deal with it.
However, there are no eggs.
Before all the moves could be used, Master Huamao's sword had already struck Chen Xiaoduan on his neck.
He is truly an experienced person.
So cool!
Luo Xuan glanced at Old Taoist Huamao, and then at Chen Xiaoduan, who was lying in the arms of his third sister-in-law.
Then Luo Xuan turned around again and took a closer look at the longevity material in the tomb... something bought for 79 yuan was really as thin as a cicada's wings!
This is a shoddy product created urgently by a carpenter inside a wooden vessel.
A finger-thick pine board was used.
And to save trouble, even the nails used to nail the longevity wood were a few foreign nails bought at the hardware store of the supply and marketing cooperative.
This kind of nail is much smaller than the old-fashioned nails made by the blacksmiths in the iron club.
The size is also much shorter.
After seeing clearly what was going on in the tomb, Luo Zhuan turned around, picked up Chen Xiaoduan on his back and left without hesitation!
There were three sisters-in-law on the side to help support, Luo Xuan was carrying Chen Xiaoduan on his back, and the three of them walked towards Hongxing Street, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
~~~~
That night.
As night falls, the stars hang low.
Under the stars in the sky, the light of a flashlight shines on the mountain road in the rugged area. From a distance, it appears to be floating and appearing and disappearing.
The cold wind is not biting tonight.
In the cold winter night, there are no more insects and frogs chirping.
On the quiet mountain road, Luo Xuan supported Chen Xiaoduan and was carefully walking on the winding path in the rugged area.
"Is it dawn yet?"
Like a puppet, Chen Xiaoduan moved forward mechanically, and asked Luo Xuan softly without any emotion: "Then I should get up and make porridge for my mother.
Did you know that there is a student in our class named Luo Xuan.
He brought several buckets of mountain spring water to my mother.
Every time my mother gets up in the morning, she likes to drink a bowl of rice porridge cooked with this spring water."
Luo Xuan nodded and said softly: "Look carefully at your feet. There is a small stone there. Well, come and raise your legs higher."
Chen Xiaoduan's mind has become confused.
In fact, in future generations, this is depression.
Coupled with Chen Xiao's thoughts, she had already reached the tip of her tongue.
She is single-minded, only immersed in her own thoughts, and does not care about or notice any changes in the outside world.
But Chen Xiaoduan was still able to hear Luo Xuan's reminder, and he lifted her feet higher and successfully crossed the small stone blocking the road.
"My mother said that after drinking the mountain spring water, she always felt refreshed and her whole body felt much better."
Chen Xiaoduan's tone was as calm as water.
Even the tone of her voice didn't have the slightest ups and downs.
It was like she was stating something that had nothing to do with her: "In all these years, I haven't seen my mother appreciate anyone.
You don’t know, but the people my mother came into contact with in the past were all of a relatively high level.
So much so that after she returned to Hongxing Township, she almost stayed at home and was unwilling to interact with anyone.
However, Luo Xuan is an exception.
My mother often praises him in front of me!"
in the night,
Chen Xiaoduan smiled slightly: "You don't know Luo Xuan, do you? If you knew him, I believe you would also appreciate him very much."
Luo Xuan nodded, "Yeah, probably. Be careful, don't go over there, it's a small pit."
"You don't know, Luo Xuan has helped me a lot. I also learned a lot from him."
Chen Xiaoduan walked forward mechanically and eloquently said: "Just like this time, he should have done a lot of things behind my mother's affairs. Haha... I can guess it even if he doesn't say it."
Luo Xuan could only nod again: "Yes, I know."
"He helped my mother...Huh? Where is my mother?"
Chen Xiaoduan stopped suddenly, turned around suddenly, reached out and grabbed Luo Xuan's shoulders and shook her: "My mother is gone! Have you seen her?"
Luo Xuan could only nod, "I saw it, she's fine."
"Then tell my mother and let her go home!"
At this time, Chen Xiaoduan's strength was unexpectedly great!
Grasping Luo Xuan's shoulders like an eagle's claws, Luo Xuan felt a little pain.
"Okay, let's go see her together. Your mother is waiting for you in front."
Luo Xuan gently opened Chen Xiaoduan's hand.
Because of this sentence, going to see Chen Xiaoduan's mother made her relax a lot.
"Shouldn't my mother be at home? Where are you taking me?"
Chen Xiaoduan stopped and looked around at the dark mountains, "Where is this? Why didn't my mother come to pick me up?"
Luo Xuan comforted her softly: "Let's go, I'm here."
Chen Xiaoduan turned around in confusion and started to move forward mechanically.
But she frowned, as if she was thinking hard about something, "My mother seems to be ill, very ill... She, woo woo, she will never come back."
Luo Xuan held a flashlight in his mouth and held Chen Xiaoduan's arm with one hand.
The other hand kept patting her back gently, "If Auntie can come back, I will be there."
Chen Xiaoduan's thinking is obviously still stuck in the quagmire, "My mother needs to eat the turtle brought by Luo Xuan, not the turtle brought by others."
Luo Xuan hummed, "Don't worry, I'm here, there are so many turtles, I can feed her for a lifetime."
"My mother needs the mountain spring water that Luo Xuan brought..."
"Don't worry, I'm here, there's plenty of mountain spring water."
Just chattering all the way, the two of them walked forward.
Because of the speed of travel, it is too slow!
When Luo Xuan and Chen Xiaoduan reached the foot of Xiao Laojun Mountain, the sky was already dimming.
At this time, both of their bodies were already wet with dew from the mountains.
Fortunately, both of them wore thick clothes in winter, otherwise Luo Xuan, who is physically strong, might still be able to bear it.
As for Chen Xiaoduan, who has a relatively weak body and bones, it is very likely that he will become seriously ill because of this!
"Mom? Are you...really you?"
When Luo Xuan carried Chen Xiaoduan on his back, he climbed up to the top of Xiao Laojun Mountain with difficulty, where the bandits were originally.
As soon as Chen Xiaoduan entered the cave, he was shocked to see his mother sitting on a straw mat on the ground, resting with her eyes closed!
"mom!"
It’s over!
Chen Xiaoduan, who was suddenly surprised, fainted again...
