C17 With You My Heart Grows Stronger Day by Day!

On the mountain road.

The warm sunlight shone down on my body, making me feel warm.

Occasionally, a mountain breeze would blow past. Not only did it carry the fragrance of the flowers and wild grass, it also carried the unique fragrance of Hsing's body.

Along the way, my mood was very good. I felt that if I could walk with Hsing one after another for the rest of my life, how blissful would that be!

I followed behind Hsing and looked at the small cloth bag that she was carrying. I looked at her slim waist...

I felt that this was the most beautiful scenery in the world.

After crossing two mountains and arriving on another dirt road, I saw the tractor waiting there and the young man driving it.

I also knew his name now. His name was Zhao Fei.

For some reason, every time I saw his sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, coupled with his big beard, I felt very uncomfortable.

I thought, 'Your name has the word 'flying' in it, but when you drive the tractor, it is like driving an airplane. If your name has the word 'arrow', then the tractor will have to fly up into the sky!'

Anyway, no matter how I looked at him, I felt that he was not pleasing to the eye. I even had the urge to kick him to the south gate!

I held Hsing and told her to sit in the back of the tractor first.

When I jumped onto the tractor, before I could even sit properly, I suddenly heard a series of noises.

Zhao Fei didn't even bother to remind me and directly drove the tractor away.

I almost fell down because of my mistake. Fortunately, it was Hsing who held me back.

This time, I was a little angry!

"What the hell are you doing? Can you drive properly?" I suppressed my anger and asked.

"Yohei! You have quite a big temper! You always pick up and drop people. Why are you so angry?"

"Let me tell you, this has nothing to do with me. It's all your fault!"

"Who told you to eat a hundred beans? Don't you know the smell of beans? Why don't you remember? Why didn't you catch it earlier?" Zhao Fei did not even turn his head and casually threw a cigarette butt at me.

I was annoyed by his nonsense.

After a moment of shock, I finally realized that it was my fault for not catching it properly. It was clearly because you drove too fast and too suddenly, okay?

Apart from that, did this guy suffer from the aftereffects of the Soul Shaking Sound?

Why was his speech so unreasonable?

All these years, I have eaten soybeans, green beans, and red beans... Why didn't I know that beans had a fishy smell?

I knew that if you ate too much soybeans, it would be really bad.

Hsing had already given me a look, telling me not to argue with Zhao Fei.

After thinking for a while, I knew that after tonight, I would not be able to contact them anymore. There was no need to make enemies out of them.

Thinking about it, I looked elsewhere and ignored him. I just treated him as a stinky dog.

Forty minutes later, I and Hsing got off the tractor and entered the gate of the Zhao family's courtyard.

In the past few days, the only people I saw were Old Zhao and his wife, as well as Zhao Fei, the fool.

As for the man of the little wife — Zhao Wenbin, I have never seen him before.

I was a little puzzled and thought to myself, "This old man is so big. He just jumped down the building and didn't even have a problem. I wonder if he came over to accompany his wife's corpse."

After so many days, you wouldn't even show your face!

However, these were internal matters of the family. As an outsider, I couldn't interfere.

Hsing attached great importance to the First Seven Night. Before she came, she had already repeated the rules of "Don't do anything" a few times to me.

At this moment, she pulled Old Zhao and walked a few steps to the side. After muttering for a long time, Hsing finally walked over.

"Hsing, I will have to trouble you for the last night!"

"At five o'clock tomorrow morning, I will arrange for people to seal the coffin and carry the coffin!" Old Zhao put his hands together and made a gesture of gratitude to the two of them.

Hsing slightly turned her body to the side and let go of the courtesy of the host family. Then, she bowed deeply towards Old Zhao.

I knew that this was the rule of Vigil Keeper.

In order to perform the Three Worships on the dead, one had to perform the Three Worships on the head of the dead.

One bow to the heavens and earth, one bow to the ghosts and gods, two bow to the grieving family, and three bow to the deceased.

After the host family and guests left, only the two of us were left in the empty courtyard.

Hsing called me over and whispered to me to dig a small hole five meters away from the door.

Hsing then threw me two pieces of white cloth that were half a meter wide and narrow, and told me to cover the hole in the south and north directions respectively.

I didn't know why Hsing suddenly thought of this.

However, perhaps there was something else hidden in there, so I didn't need to ask and just did as she said.

I carried the small shovel and walked out of the yard.

Hsing's request was very simple. She only needed to dig a hole that could cover her ankles in the wall.

The hole was not too big either. It was enough for a normal person to stand in it with two feet.

I thought that Hsing's arrangement must have a deeper meaning. Maybe it was prepared for the ghost.

Otherwise, who would walk into the hole?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was the truth. So I picked up the small shovel and started to dig.

In less than half an hour, I had dug a hole that was half a meter deep.

I thought about it and was worried that the ghost would crawl out again if it fell into the hole. So I didn't care if it was useful or not. I took a few bamboo sticks from the broom at the door and stuck them up like they were transplanting rice seedlings in the paddy field.

I was not worried that there would be villagers who fell into the hole.

In our village, everyone slept early. Who would have nothing to do at night and wander around the road?

It was only because Zhao Fei, that fool, had been kicked in the head by a donkey group that he was able to explore the mourning hall twice in a row.

After digging a hole, I returned to the coffin and saw Hsing doing the five cleansing and four driving.

"The seven return and the one leave are the same. One hour is one procedure, and I can't be careless at all.

If any of the procedures were wrong, it might disturb the little wife and cause her to be buried in peace, turning it into a disaster.

I sat on the straw mat and followed the instructions of the Heart Calming and Mind Quieting Technique. I wanted to close my eyes and rest.

But for some reason, not long after I closed my eyes, I suddenly opened them again.

My heart was pounding!

It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands rubbing my heart, making me feel short of breath for a while and excessive blood supply for a while.

This feeling was not fear, but a kind of inexplicable panic that brought my emotions and gradually made me become restless.

Under the illumination of the dazzling lightbulb, every corner of the mourning hall could be seen clearly.

Surrounding me, it was unexpectedly quiet. Even the mountain breeze did not blow. The leaves that fell from the trees in the courtyard were lying quietly on the ground, as if they were asleep.

However, the quieter it was, the stronger the uneasiness I felt.

I remember that every time it was raining heavily, there would be such a short period of silence.

Yes, yes... It was this feeling.

The quieter it was, the fiercer the storm that followed.

After thinking about it for a while, I forced myself to focus on something else.

I thought that maybe it was because my old habit was acting up again, so I started to scare myself again.

I tilted my head to the side and wanted to see what Hsing was doing.

Just as my gaze landed on the left side, the scene in front of me shocked me greatly.

What the hell - what was going on?

Why did two Hsings appear?
