The Old Man Is Really Selfish!
At the entrance of An Family Village.
Wang Hai and Zhao Haizhu were waiting there.
The two of them were still wearing the same black suits as yesterday, but each of them had a piece of black cloth hanging on one arm, with the word "memorial" written on it.
They knew that today was the day of Old Master Anping's funeral.
After receiving Fangzheng's order yesterday, they immediately went to ask the villagers.
Therefore, the two of them decided to wait here today.
"He's here!"
At this moment, Zhao Haizhu raised his finger and pointed at the group of people who were walking out of the village.
Wang Hai nodded and frowned.
To be honest, he did not want to attend Grandpa Anping's funeral at first.
After their investigation, he was now sure that Old Master Anping was just an ordinary person.
However, was it someone else or was it just a smokescreen that Old Man Anping Jie appeared at the farewell ceremony of those military heroes?
This was temporarily unknown.
President Fang had also ordered them to attend the funeral and broadcast it live. In Wang Hai's opinion, this was really taking off his pants and farting. It was unnecessary.
However, he only dared to say this in his heart when President Fang was not around.
"I don't know why President Fang wants us to attend the funeral.”Zhao Haizhu muttered.
"To be honest, I want to know too." Wang Hai shook his head and smiled bitterly.”
Then, he straightened his body.""Forget it, we'll talk about it after the funeral. I've disturbed you yesterday, so it's necessary to attend the funeral today.”
Just as the two of them were talking.
The team from the village that sent Old Man Anping off had arrived.
Wang Hai and Zhao Haizhu nodded at the two people at the front of the team.
After that, he made way for the team to leave first.
In the end, the two of them followed closely behind the team, silently following without saying a word.
……
The mountain where the Temple of Longevity was located was not close to An Family Village.
But it was not very far.
Because it was located in a remote area and was on the top of a mountain, the road up the mountain was very rugged.
Therefore, the Temple of Longevity was more like a place where Taoists devoted themselves to cultivation. Basically, no one knew about this place.
Even in the An family village, only some old people knew about the existence of such a place after hearing about it from Old Man Anping Jie.
At this moment, on a winding mountain road leading to the Temple of Longevity.
The trees were lush, and each ancient tree towered into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, bringing shade to the group of people on the mountain.
The unpolluted air in the mountains was also very fresh. Taking a deep breath would calm one's heart.
A group of people dressed in white clothes, each with a black cloth hanging on their arms. On the black cloth was written the word " libation."
No one was in the mood to enjoy the scenery in the mountains, nor did they care about the fresh air or the tranquility of the mountains.
Their hearts were heavy, and what they were about to do next evoked the sadness in the depths of their hearts.
Behind the group, four people carried a coffin and followed closely behind the crowd. At the same time, they had to be careful of the path they were walking on, afraid that they would miss their step and be finished.
It was fine if they fell, but if they "fell" Old Master Anping, they couldn't bear the responsibility.
"How much longer do we have?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man who was carrying the coffin wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.
"Almost there. According to the village chief, it's at the top of the mountain.”
The leader replied.
"I hope we get there soon. This mountain road is really too difficult to walk on.”The middle-aged man complained.
The middle-aged man wasn't the only one who had this kind of mentality.
Most of the people attending the funeral had the same thought.
The mountain road was indeed difficult to walk on. In addition, there were so many of them, so it was inevitable that they would walk slowly. The crowd and the sun hanging high in the sky made their originally sad mood immediately become a little irritable.
"Why does Old Master An have to hold a funeral here? Can't we do it in the village?"
Someone in the crowd whispered.
This sentence immediately resonated with some people.
"This old man Shunzi insisted on being buried on this mountain. Isn't this making us suffer? It was too far to walk from the village to here.”
"The distance is secondary. We still have to carry these things and carry Old Man Shun Zi.”
"If it were up to me, we could have just found a place with better feng shui in the back mountain of the village and buried Old Man Shun Zi. Why did we have to come to this broken mountain? I really don't know what was going through our minds.”
Just as these people were muttering.
"Don't you know that Old Man Shun Zi is devoted to the Dao? The old man Shun Zi also said that he was the Taoist priest of the Temple of Longevity, so it was understandable that he wanted to hold a funeral here.”
A villager with a friendly face turned around with a smile. He looked at the dissatisfied villagers and tried to smooth things over.
Hearing this, some of the muttering villagers rolled their eyes, some snorted coldly, and some secretly snorted.
"One heart for the Dao? He was quite reasonable.”
"All day long, he's either doing rituals for people or wearing a Daoist robe to stroll around the village. It's as if he's preaching.”
"If you ask me, the old man keeps saying that he's a Taoist priest, but that's nonsense. He's definitely old and muddle-headed. He's old and old. He likes to believe in these things.”
"If he wasn't old and muddle-headed, why would he choose to be buried so far away? I think he's doing it on purpose. He thinks that the people in the village are very idle and only think about themselves and not others.”
"That's right. How selfish."
