C12 Into the city

I stayed in front of Fang Fang's mourning hall for a while, and when it was late at night I heard a sound outside the door.

I walked to the front of the store with some doubts. I saw the old man standing at the front of the shop with a pipe in his mouth. "Old master, why aren't you resting? What are you standing at the door for?"

When I walked over, I couldn't help but be a little surprised. On the street outside the shop, there were dozens of wandering souls that were walking in groups in one direction.

The old man took a deep breath and slowly said, "Little Tian, do you know where they're going?"

"I don't know. They are all heading in the same direction. Are they going to be reincarnated?!"

The old man sighed and said in a low voice, "Returning to dust and dust. This is the path of rebirth. All the grudges and grudges of this lifetime have been written off."

"I wonder if Sanbao and Fang Fang are inside, and if they will be reborn in their next life?" "Go back to your room and rest. After two days, when Fang Fang comes back, you can pack up and leave."

What? Old Master, are you trying to kick me out of here …

"You've grown up. You should go out and see the outside world. You can't always stay with an old man like me." The old gramps also said that I should go out and take a look, and I can't stay here any longer. I'm also responsible for Fang Fang's death, and this place has become my sorrow.

The next morning, Fang Fang's parents received the news of Fang Fang's death and fainted from crying several times. Two people died in the family, which was a heavy blow to any family.

I didn't go with Fang Fang on the day of her funeral. I packed up my things and quietly left the village. Although this matter had come to an end here, there were still many things that could not be explained.

The old man didn't say that he couldn't guess. If I stayed in this village all my life, I would never know what time it was outside. I would just be a frog in a well.

I rode the bus to the city center. Before I left, the old man gave me some fare and made me a short axe.

"Why would I bring this to the city?"

"This is for you to defend yourself. We are carpenters, how can we do that if we don't have anything on hand?"

The other old men gave me nothing and brought me some dry rations, so I rode the bus to the train station in the countryside, bought a ticket and carried my luggage to the train. There were many people on the train, my seat was by the window, I put my luggage on the luggage rack, only Tang Yufeng's spirit tablet was placed in a bag alone and held in my hands.

To me, a country boy who was born in the countryside and had never seen a city before, everything was new. There was still a long way to go before I reached the city center. I lay on my chair and fell asleep. After a while, I was awoken by a loud noise.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a pretty girl holding a backpack and arguing with a man. After a few words of persuasion from the passenger, the two of them stopped talking. The girl walked to the seat opposite mine and sat down.

She had a faint fragrance on her body, and the girl looked very heavy with her backpack. She whispered to me, "Big brother, can you help me put my luggage on? The luggage is too heavy, I can't lift it."

"No problem, let me help you." Without a word, I got up and took her suitcase and held it over my head on the luggage rack.

"Thank you, big brother. You're such a good person!"

I smiled and replied, "You're welcome. Helping others is the basis of happiness."

"I have some bread and sausage. Would you like some?" The girl was about the same age as Fang Fang, and she was also very talkative, which made me feel very close to her.

I whispered, "Thank you! I've brought some food with me."

Before I left, the old man brought me some steamed buns and some pickles for me to eat on the way.

"Big brother, where did you come from? From the looks of it, you look like you're from the countryside, don't you?"

"Yes, I'm from the countryside, I just entered the city today, I'm called Liu Guan Sheng."

"Puchi …" Liu Zisheng? It's such an interesting name. It sounds weird. " The girl couldn't help but laugh. For a moment, she felt like she had lost her composure, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ridicule you. It's just that this name does sound a little …"

I smiled and replied, "It's alright. When I heard my name for the first time, I wanted to laugh, but I held it in."

The girl smiled and said, "My name is Chu Lingyun and I live in the city."

I took a bite of the steamed bun and asked softly, "How old are you?"

"I'm twenty-three years old. I'm in my third year at a university in the city."

"It's so good, I haven't gone to school before. When I was young, it was Master who taught me to read."

"Master? What do you do?! " I hesitated for a moment before I slowly said, "I did … Funeral service. "

Chu Lingyun's expression changed slightly. She originally thought that she would be scared, but who knew that she would say that out loud, "Really? "Ah, I'm so envious. Quickly tell me, is there anything interesting?"

"Interesting thing? "What's the meaning of a dead person …" I was slightly stunned. Is this girl's head rusty, or have I already deviated from the real world?

We wanted to get away from this thing in the country. How could this girl still be in a hurry to meet it?

Chu Lingyun quickly explained, "I didn't mean that, I meant that thing …" Is there something strange going on? "

"Aren't you afraid? That kind of thing is best not to think about it nor look at it. If you were to offend it, it would be very troublesome." On the way, Chu Lingyun kept on talking until they got off the train. Before they left, she gave me a piece of paper with her number and school address on it, telling me to look for her when I had time.

After Chu Lingyun and I separated, my ears were finally at peace. However, I'm not familiar with this place. The sky is about to turn dark and I'm a bit hungry.

"My lady, where is your home? Why don't you go and stay there for the night?" I foolishly muttered to the spirit tablet in my bag. This girl actually didn't make any more movements at this crucial moment.

"Little brother, where are you going? Take my car." A taxi stopped in front of me, and the driver rolled down his window and smiled at me.

"No need, thank you." Just as I said that, a black car stopped by my side, and two men in suits got off. One of them looked familiar.

"Little brother, I'm coming to pick you up!"

"How did you know I was here?" It was Old Master Liu who informed Boss Tang and told us to come pick you up. You're not familiar with anyone here, so don't be fooled by others. "

While I was talking, I opened the door and jumped in with my luggage.

"Big brother, I still don't know your name."

"My surname is Song, just call me Brother Song." Ever since Tang Yufeng's funeral, Big Brother Song had been working for Tang Guofeng, and now he was acting too. He had become Tang Guofeng's driver.

"Little brother, did you come to the city alone as a teacher?"

I smiled. "My family's old man asked me to come out and see the world. I wanted to go there just now, but I didn't know anyone here. It was really hard on me."

Big Brother Song drove me to a villa. I opened the door and jumped out of the car. "I'll take you there. Boss Tang is inside. You can go in directly. I'll come and find you tomorrow. Big Brother will give you a welcoming reception."

Brother Song drove away in his car. I walked into the mansion and knocked on the door. A person who seemed to be the butler walked out.

"I'm Liu Zhengsheng, I'm here to look for Boss Tang!"

"Please come in …" My master has been waiting for a long time. " I walked into the villa. The interior of the villa was richly decorated. As expected of a rich person, even the places they lived in were different.

"Little Tian, sit down and drink some water." Tang Guofeng came down the stairs, and I sat down on the sofa, puzzled by the fact that everyone seemed to know I was coming.

Tang Guofeng said softly, "You can stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I'll find a place for you to stay. You don't have to be polite here like you're at home."

"Why do I feel like everyone knows about my visit to the city?"

"A few days ago, I sent someone to tell Old Master Liu that I wanted you to come to the city and wander around for a bit. You were still young and you didn't have much to do in that village." Tang Guofeng lit a cigar and took a deep breath, "That's why I wanted you to go into the city and develop your skills. No matter what, you are still my son-in-law."

Pui … You two old things, you two are working together to harm me, you want me to take a ghost … Sooner or later, I will get my revenge from you.

I was a little hungry on the way, Tang Guofeng ordered some people to sit down and eat some food. After dinner, I went upstairs to my room to rest. The rich knew how to enjoy themselves. They could take a bath in the house, and they didn't even need to boil some water, they could just take a bath.

Madam, we can have a good night's sleep tonight. Your home is so good, as expected from a gold spoon." I placed Tang Yufeng's memorial tablet on the table and gave her some fruits and desserts. Of course, I didn't need to worry about those. The Tang Clan had already made a room for her and set up a mourning hall.

After I finished showering, I comfortably lay on the bed. Simone's mattress was a little soft, not comparable to the wooden bed that the old man made. I slept very uncomfortably.

"Darling …" While I was still half asleep, I vaguely felt that someone was lying beside me. I opened my eyes and sat up. Tang Yufeng floated out of the tablet.

"You … Why did you come out? " I jumped off the bed, a little afraid. I really didn't feel reassured that this grandma would appear so suddenly. From what I knew, this lass was unruly and willful. Why would she take the initiative to befriend me?

"I want to see my father." I opened the door and followed Tang Yufeng's ghost to one of the rooms. I gently opened the door and left a crack in the door. The interior of the room was dimly lit, and there was a strong scent of sandalwood in the room.
