The Taoist priest by the yard led some helpers into the mourning hall, said a few words to the middle-aged woman, and then pushed aside the coffin next to it, which was carried by several people, with wooden planks and quilts attached. , wrapped under the quilt, with only his feet exposed, was put into the coffin, closed the coffin again, and placed the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall.

The Taoist priest, bowing, kept chanting the scriptures, while the middle-aged woman was stunned, standing by and watching, watching.

Several helpers stopped their movements, the Taoist priest stopped chanting, and the middle-aged woman was silent for a while before turning around again.

……

Through the open door of the main room, he glanced at the mourning hall that had been set up temporarily, Lian Ge looked away, and then glanced at the villagers who were busy in the yard, helping,

Moving his feet away again, Lian Ge and the middle-aged man walked into the yard.

"...Sister Luo, are there any scissors in the room..."

The yard was bustling with activity, and the helpful villagers either arranged the tables and chairs, or helped prepare the evening banquet on the side,

From time to time, people from the village came from all over the village, and people came in and out from time to time, busy working,

"...Yes, yes..."

In front of the mourning hall, turning around, the middle-aged woman who was stunned again heard the shout in the yard, quickly responded, stood up again, walked into the kitchen in the back room, and took a pair of scissors Come out, walk out to the yard, and hand it to the person who greeted earlier.

"...Sister Luo,"

The middle-aged man who led the way walked towards Sister Luo who was standing by the yard, and shouted,

Lian Ge glanced at Sister Luo again, moved his feet away, and walked towards Sister Luo with the middle-aged man.

"Here you come? Sit whatever you want, just sit whatever you want."

When Sister Luo heard the voice, she turned around and greeted the middle-aged man.

"...Sister Luo, my condolences... Don't be too angry, after all, he is like this, and I feel uncomfortable... Now it is considered, it is considered..."

The middle-aged man looked at Sister Luo, then turned his head, looked at the coffin in the main room, and said a word of relief, but he couldn't continue talking,

"...I can't blame you either."

Just one more sentence, the middle-aged man didn't say any more.

Sister Luo forced a smile on her face and didn't answer.

On the side, Lian Ge turned his gaze and glanced at Sister Luo,

This Sister Luo's face is quite calm, but her face is a little haggard, and her face looks a little pale.

The eye sockets are still a little red, and the hair is barely coiled on the head, looking a little messy.

"...Sister Luo, this young man is a passing tourist. He came here to ask for a drink."

After another silence, the middle-aged man looked back at Lian Ge again, and introduced Sister Luo aloud.

"It's annoying."

Lian Ge looked at Sister Luo again, and said something out loud.

"Don't bother me. Young man, you can find a place to sit first."

Upon hearing the sound, Miss Luo nodded to Lian Ge and responded.

"...Sister Luo, let me go see the child first..."

The middle-aged man said something to Sister Luo again, then turned around and said to Lian Ge,

"...Young man, find a place to sit down first, I'm sorry."

"Brother can do as he pleases."

Lian Ge responded aloud.

"……Row."

Sister Luo nodded, and led the way to the mourning hall.

The middle-aged man also hurriedly followed.

……

Watching the middle-aged man and Sister Luo walk into the mourning hall, and then through the open door, glance at the coffin in the mourning hall,

Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, then glanced at the yard again,

In the yard, some tables and chairs have been set up one after another, and some villagers gathered around the yard also sat down at the tables one after another.

Moving away again, Lian Ge randomly chose a table with some villagers and sat down.

……

"...Hey, what a crime, I was originally an orphan and a widow, and now I have encountered such a thing..."

Several villagers sitting at the table turned their heads to look at Lian Ge who was seated, and turned back again, each of them continued talking,

"... Sister Luo is such a warm-hearted person, but ended up with a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person... When Lao Wu left, the child was only two years old... This Sister Luo pulled the child, dragging it to the end... It's so big... so low, I don't know how long it will take to be angry."

The man next to him, speaking aloud, sighed.

"...Speaking of it, it's actually good to do it this way. The child is suffering in itself for being alive, and it's all up to Sister Luo to take care of him... If you want me to say, it's good to do it this way..."

A woman next to her said aloud,

Hearing the sound, the people at the table were a little silent.

"... That's what I said... But that's what we outsiders can say... How much effort did Big Sister Luo take to bring that child to such a big age... It's been so many years... How long have you been angry... "

"... You said that old Wu is the same. He died on his own. He left such a child and let Sister Luo take it... Sometimes I feel pitiful when I look at it myself."

Another woman next to her was a little annoyed at first, and said something aloud, followed closely, and couldn't help sighing,

"...Keep your voice down, Sister Luo will feel uncomfortable when she hears it later."

The woman next to her shook her head and said something out loud.

"Is there something wrong with the kid?"

Beside, Lian Ge was sitting, listening, and said something in a calm tone.

Hearing the sound, several people at the table turned their eyes one after another.

"...Young man, aren't you from around here?"

An old man next to him asked aloud,

"passer."

"...No wonder...the kid has some problems, doesn't he?"

The old man nodded, looked into the mourning hall again, and said aloud,

"...If it wasn't for a problem, why would it be late at night, and you didn't even say hello, just rushing into the forest. It's not the first time."

Saying that, the old man looked into the mourning hall, paused, then turned his head,

"...This child of the Wu family, there is something wrong here."

The old man raised his hand and pointed to his head,

"...that child has been demented since he was a child. The children in other families are all sensible, but he is still ignorant. This year, he is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is still the same. He talks and acts like a two- or three-year-old child. of."

"...for so many years, it's all because of the painstaking efforts of the Wu family's wife to take care of her. Otherwise, this child would have been gone long ago... I don't know, it was so hard to drag it to such a big age, and it turned out..."

The old man was talking, shook his head again, and didn't go on talking.

"... This big sister Luo has brought this child up so much, she really suffered a lot..."

The woman next to him continued what the old man said, and continued,

"...that child... it's actually good to be like this now..."

Several people next to him also followed, answered the words aloud, and then started talking.

Lian Ge listened to the voices of the people at the table ringing in his ears, then turned his eyes, glanced at the coffin in the mourning hall, and stood in front of the coffin again, Sister Luo in a daze.

Chapter 591

"...Sister Luo... things are already like this, you should take it easy, don't be too angry... that child has suffered in this life, and I guess it's uncomfortable..."

In the courtyard, people came from time to time to talk to Sister Luo and comfort her.

Sister Luo just kept silent, nodded in response, and then greeted people to sit down, turned around and went back to work.

……

"...Big Sister Luo really suffered a lot for bringing up that child... When the child was young, she worked hard and saved. All the money she saved was for her child to use. The child buys new clothes, takes the child to the hospital in the county, the city, and the province, and tries his best to see a doctor for the child. But this dementia disease is not so easy to cure, and you can earn money by working Well, all the money harvested in the field was spent on this child, and it was of no use... Sister Luo is also a stubborn person. The hospital... these years, Big Sister Luo has had a hard time."

At the table, a woman sighed,

"...According to my old lady's superstitious words, this girl, Sister Luo, has really been in debt all her life... Now, it's time to rest... It's Sister Luo, how uncomfortable it is... ..."

"... Sister Luo is such a good person... I live next to her. When her child was young, I helped her see the child a few times, and she kept it in her heart. If there is something in my house, she helps Contribute..."

The woman next to him also followed suit.

At the dining table, the people sitting around fell silent.

……

"...Speaking of it, that kid isn't really stupid."

Next to him, the middle-aged man who had seen the child in the mourning hall came back again, answered aloud, and sat down beside Lian Ge,

The few people sitting around the dining table raised their heads, turned their eyes, and looked at him.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at him as well, then looked away, and glanced at the coffin in the open door of the mourning hall.

After the middle-aged man sat down, he also turned his head, looked at the mourning hall again, turned back and continued talking,

"...When you are aggressive with him, he knows to be afraid and hides. When you smile at him, he also knows to be happy. When you scold him, he just keeps his head down and doesn't speak... Isn't there such a thing in the village? The family, do you feel disgusted when you look at him? Several times, when I saw him pass by those people, they hid aside... It’s not that those people dislike him so much, but it’s inevitable to look at his eyes Not so good...he just knew...

Once, when my child was playing in the village, I met him and gave him a few grapefruits. As a result, that night, we all went to bed to rest, and he knocked on the door suddenly, holding two grapefruits in his hand. Apple, wait for my kid to open the door, he stuffed those two apples to my kid, turned around and ran away..."

Looking back at the mourning hall, the middle-aged man continued,

"...Don't look at that kid as a fool, but he actually knows everything, whether you like him or not, whether you dislike him... That's right, he will never know anything, and will always be with those two. Like a three-year-old."

The middle-aged man said, shook his head, turned around, and didn't continue talking.

"...Actually, that child, this life is not easy, and I guess it is also uncomfortable in the bottom of my heart."

The old man sitting next to him took out his cigarette stick, tapped it on the ground, then turned around and looked into the mourning hall,

The few people sitting around listened, and were also a little silent.

Looking at the coffin in the mourning hall again, and the elder sister Luo who stood in front of the coffin again before coming out of the house, Lian Ge turned his gaze away and didn't say anything more.

……

In the yard, around the dining tables, everyone was a little quiet,

Only the sound of the Taoist priest and a few helpers in the mourning hall chanting scriptures and beating some musical instruments mixed with the shouts of helping the villagers sounded.

Some people who helped manage the funeral banquet began to serve the dishes on the tables, and the people who served the dishes also helped the elder sister Luo to greet the people who came.

"...After the master finishes the rituals for the moment, the banquet will be held here. They are all neighbors in the village, so you can take care of yourself. Sister Luo is the only one in her room now. It’s uncomfortable, if you need anything, just call us to help.”

A woman with dishes, while putting the dishes in the tray on the table, greeted the people sitting at the table,

The people sitting at the dining table also got up, helped carry it, then guessed, put it on the table, and answered,

"...It's okay, if there is anything we need, we can do it ourselves. Just do your work."

Put the cold dishes in the tray on the table, and watched the person who helped to prepare the funeral feast busy before walking away, the villagers who got up earlier sat down again, and one of the men looked at the open table. In the mourning hall, he continued what he said earlier,

"...Speaking of which, when the child was young, he wasn't as foolish as he is now."

The people sitting around each nodded their heads, and the middle-aged man next to Lian Ge also nodded, turned his head to look at the mourning hall, answered the words aloud, and continued,

"...When he was two or three years old, the child was sensible. Not long after he learned to speak, he knew how to call someone. If you talked to him, he could say a few words to you... When he was three or four years old, Sister Luo also sent the child to the school in the town... Who knows, the child grew up a little bit, and gradually the foolishness appeared. After so many years, he was still the same as the two or three-year-old Same back then."

The middle-aged man was talking, turned his head, and stopped talking.

Several villagers sitting around the table listened, and became silent one after another.

Lian Ge listened to the narration of the people at the table, and didn't say much. He turned his eyes and looked at the mourning hall again.
