Chapter 269 Figure
As soon as Chu Heng hung up the spiritual flag, he felt someone riding a bicycle and stopped beside him.
He glanced sideways and saw that it was Liu Haokong, Lord Liu, and raised his hand to greet him: "Here you come, Lord Marquis."
Hu Zhengwen also said quickly: "Brother Liu ."
"Alas."
Liu Haokong's condition was not very good. His thick black hair had a touch of white in it, and he looked very haggard. It seemed that his life was not going well these days.
While locking the car, he asked: "When did you two get here? What's going on inside now?"
"We just got here, let's get back and forth." Chu Heng took out the cigarette. One person handed one to him and sighed: "Shen Tian is staying with the old man and the old lady inside. When I come out The person had just been carried to the coffin."
Liu Haokong nodded with a sad face, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette and took a puff, then greeted the two of them: "Okay, don't hold it here. Let’s go in and see if I can help.”
“Let’s go”
Chu Heng took the lead, and the three of them walked into the courtyard together.
When they arrived at the Mu family's house, a burning lantern and a bowl of rice had been placed in front of the funeral bed.
Mu Yu's wife was also lying on his body with her children, crying like a cuckoo crying for blood. Those who heard it felt sad, and those who saw it also shed tears.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Ah!”
"Dad...wuwu...Dad...get up...get up!"
Emotions are contagious. Looking at the mother and son in front of him who had already burst into tears, Chu Heng's eyes could not bear to hold back. Liu Haokong couldn't help but burst into tears. He had played with Mu Yu since he was a child. Although they were not close friends, they had always had a good relationship.
After the mother and son cried for a while, several women came forward and helped them into the back room.
Not long after, Mu Yu’s wife, who had put on mourning clothes, led several younger members of the Mu family out and knelt down beside the body again.
Shen Tian also hurriedly came out at this time, and then found Chu Heng and other relatives and friends, and assigned tasks to them one by one. The group of people left the Mu family in several waves. .
Some people carry the coffin, while others look for things. Each has its own division of labor.
It wasn’t until after eight o’clock that the funeral hall was finally decorated.
At this time, the people who came to watch the excitement had almost dispersed, leaving only some relatives and friends who stayed here.
Chu Heng was gathering with some friends at this time. Some people were smoking while others were chatting quietly about their current situation. The atmosphere was a bit dull.
Not long after, Shen Tian, who had finally finished his work, came over with a tired face and explained to them: "The situation is special now, so the funeral will be simple. There will be a funeral early tomorrow, so everyone should come early. , send him on his last journey.”
"Then we will withdraw first."
The group of people dispersed sparsely.
Chu Heng, Hu Zhengwen and Liu Haokong did not leave. They had made an appointment with Shen Tian before and wanted to find a place to have a drink together after they were done.
Feeling depressed, they urgently need a drink to relieve their worries.
When everyone was almost gone, Chu Heng put out the cigarette butt in his hand, turned to the others and asked: "Would you like to go to my place? My wife went to her grandma's house, and I am alone now. .”
"Forget it, there are many people in your big courtyard. If you say anything when you are drunk, it will be bad." Liu Haokong thought more about it, and after thinking about it, he suggested: "Why don't you go to Du San's place? Although the home is a bit remote, it is better than being clean.”
Du San lives in a single-family bungalow on the outskirts of the city. His family situation is similar to that of Chu Heng. He also has no father or mother, and often lives alone. It will be used as a gathering place. "I have no objection, as long as we have wine." Shen Tian just wants to get drunk and rest. Among them, he and Mu Yu are the best and the most uncomfortable ones.
“It’s up to you.” Hu Zhengwen was the wine company today, so he just went with the flow.
Then they acted quickly, and together they left the courtyard where the Mu family was located and rode towards the outskirts of the city.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the place.
At this time, Du San had just arrived home and had not had a big meeting. He was drinking alone and remembering his old friends.
When Chu Heng and the others opened the door and walked in, Du San was stunned for a moment, and then greeted him in surprise: "I really want to drink milk, and my mother is here. I just thought it was boring to drink by myself. Sit down quickly." Sit down quickly.”
They were not polite and just slipped on the kang.
Chu Heng glanced at the plate of peanuts and half a bottle of Erguotou on the kang table, rummaged through his pocket and took out ten dollars and gave it to Du San, saying, "I'm thinking of getting some wine. How about brother today?" A big drink.”
This is their rule. Every time they come to Du San's place to drink, they will give him some money to buy some food and drinks. The rest is for him to pay for venue fees and running errands.
But Du San didn't take the money this time. He pushed the money back and sighed: "I invited you today, it's enough, but the wine is not that good, and there are no dishes to go with it. , I have some peanuts and cucumbers left."
"As long as I have wine." Chu Heng didn't want to argue with him, so he reached for the money on the table and put it in his pocket.
"Okay, I'll take it right away." With that, Du San put on his shoes and got off the kang. After a while, he brought back a large bucket of white powder and a few cups, and then he ran into the kitchen again. In half a cigarette, he returned to the house with a large plate of cucumbers.
“One goes first.”
After filling up the wine, several people picked up the glasses and clinked them, then raised their heads and poured them into their mouths.
After Shen Tian drank the cup in one gulp, he wiped his mouth and cursed with red eyes: "Mu Yu is such a coward! He just walked away. This What should the whole family do?”
“Well, the dead person is the big one, why are you talking about this when everyone is gone?” Chu Heng sighed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, picking up the wine barrel. Another person filled the glass.
"Come, let's go one more time for that coward! Send him on his last journey!" Liu Haokong breathed out the breath of wine, raised the cup again, and faced the night sky from afar.
Under this sad mood, they drank glass after glass of sad wine.
As the alcohol swelled up, the sorrowful emotions that had been suppressed in his chest were completely released.
They laughed, cursed, and indulged wantonly, like a group of lunatics who had lost their minds.
It wasn’t until everyone was extremely drunk that they became completely quiet.
Chu Heng didn’t even remember how many cups he had drank. At this moment, he only felt that the sky was spinning, the earth was spinning, and the whole world was spinning.
This time, he didn't cheat, he was really drunk.
He stood up unsteadily, looked down at the other people lying scattered on the kang, and after being silent for a long time, he got down to the ground, put on his shoes, and walked out of Du San's house.
He is very tired now and just wants to go back to that warm little home and take a good rest.
Going out and riding on the car, Chu Heng just staggered home, falling over countless times before finally returning to the courtyard.
After he pushed the cart back to the door in embarrassment, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and suddenly he fell softly to the ground as if his bones had been ripped out.
In the haziness, he seemed to see a graceful figure running towards him, with a milky smell.
