I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 28 Farewell
The flames from Granny Hua's yard startled the surrounding people.

Come forward to knock on the door, this time the door opened.

The whole house was empty, and everything was burned in the courtyard along with the coffin.

It makes people feel sad.

"Grandma Hua really doesn't want to be buried?"

"The old man has opened a birthday shop for a lifetime. How could he deal with his funeral in such a hasty manner when he is about to die?"

"Scatter the ashes in Fushui? What kind of burial method is this?"

……

Song Yushan listened to the voices of the people around him, but did not say a word.

They just said it in other words, once the fire burned, it was useless to say anything.

In particular, Granny Hua didn't have any good friends. Even if she had doubts in her heart, no one would stand up and ask her about it, so Song Yushan saved the effort of explaining.

Slowly, the people who came to see what happened also left, and the yard became quiet.

Jin Da heard about Granny Hua, and rushed over with the big white goose, looking worried at her silent back.

Not long after the young lady reached Ji, first the master went, and now the master also went, and she became a real orphan, she must be very panicked.

He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start. He was afraid of poking the young lady's heartache, which would be a disservice.

The big white goose also felt the solemn atmosphere and did not dare to move. Jin Da explained to it on the way, but it didn't quite understand what father and master meant. It only knew that Song Yushan was very sad.

Although Song Yushan doesn't know how to raise geese, which made him want to run away from home for a while, but now he has recognized her from the bottom of his heart, and is very grateful to her for helping him enlighten his mind and teach him to read.

Now that she is sad, the big white goose also feels very uncomfortable. If he wants to make her happy, he doesn't know how to do it.

One is not good at words, the other is not good at speaking, and neither has any experience in comforting others.

There was silence for a long time, until the fire was almost extinguished, Jin Da finally choked out a sentence: "Miss, my condolences."

Song Yushan gave a soft "um", she didn't want to make Uncle Jin worry, but at this moment she really didn't have the mood to say more.

Hearing her answer, Uncle Jin felt a little more at ease, more confident, and comforted him: "Miss, even if the master and Granny Hua are gone, you are not alone, and there is me! I don't have the wisdom of the master, and I don't have Hua Mother-in-law is capable, but I am good at being beaten, if someone bullies you in the future, I will help you get beaten!"

Song Yushan felt uncomfortable, what was Uncle Jin talking about?Beat her up?

She looked back and wanted to ask him why he suddenly mentioned this.

Jin Da was encouraged by her movement, and he became more energetic as he spoke: "Miss, let me tell you, I, Old Jin, can resist being beaten. When I was still a mortal demon, even a half-transformed demon could not beat me to death." , now that I am a fully transformed monster, I might be able to resist ordinary big monsters!"

As if inspired, the big white goose took out its pen from the cloth bag it carried: a stick with a pointed end, began to write and draw on the ground, and wrote a line of big characters crookedly.

"And me, if someone beats you, eat eggs to heal your wounds, then get up and beat him!"

Song Yushan suddenly understood that Uncle Jin and Dabai were worried that she would lose support and were afraid, so they wanted to comfort her!

Although they misjudged her strength, they worried a little too much, and the direction of comfort was a thousand miles away, but such concern made people feel sore.

The fire in the courtyard gradually cooled down, but her heart was warmed up by Jin Dahe Dabai.

A ray of light is lost in her life, but her world is still bright, someone is illuminating her, and she is also illuminating others.

Time to cheer up.

"Uncle Jin, can you help me go to the street market to buy a scooter?" Song Yushan said after looking at the sky.

"Okay, I'll go buy it right away!" Jin Da quickly agreed, telling him to do something, he just wanted to help the lady.

Song Yushan looked at the expectant big white goose again, after thinking about it, he found something dispensable for it: "Help me hold this big jar."

The mother-in-law's physical body has been reduced to a large pile of ashes together with her belongings, and it is impossible to distinguish them.

The mother-in-law for the ashes had already been prepared.

Large rough pottery jars are used to hold most of the ashes temporarily, and sprinkle them in Fushui when the time comes.

A small palm-sized porcelain altar was used to hold a small handful of ashes and bring them back to Ganning Temple, where they were scattered on the back hill of Ganning Temple.

It's already the middle of the afternoon, and the mother-in-law said, I have to go home before night falls.

It was too late to scatter the ashes today, and she was worried about putting her mother-in-law's ashes here, so she could only pack them up and transport them home, and then go downstream in Fushui tomorrow.

After Song Yushan loaded the ashes, Jin Da also dragged the cart back, and together they carried the urn onto the cart.

After taking a last look at the small courtyard, Song Yushan closed the courtyard door, locked it, carried the wooden box and wine jar left by her mother-in-law, and went to Song's house with Jin Da and the others.

At night, she set up a meal in Song's residence. Besides Uncle Jin and her, there was another party that also set up bowls and chopsticks, but no one sat down. On the seat was a small urn for ashes.

She poured the wine: "Master, you allowed me to drink today. Now that Yin and Yang are separated, it is inconvenient to drink during the day. It is the same to drink at this time. After the apprentice has practiced the sky eye technique, I will definitely prepare good wine and food at that time, and invite you again." Let's have a drink together, if you have something to say, you can ask Uncle Jin to pass it on."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jin Da.

Jin Da looked around and shook his head at Song Yushan.

Song Yushan looked at the urn: "The ashes are here, so Master will be led here?"

This is what she found out from her mother-in-law's practice experience record after she came back. Her mother-in-law was born with heavenly eyes, and she often had contact with ghosts.

It is said in the records of experience that corpses, ashes, or commonly used objects during life have a deep connection with ghosts, and they are the best medium to call for correspondence.

"Maybe Granny Hua is still on the way? Or is there something delayed?" Jin Da didn't quite understand.

Ghosts usually avoid ghosts, and he doesn't know much about ghosts.

Song Yushan was a little worried about Granny Hua's delay in coming, so she looked for the reason in her mother-in-law's record of practice, and found these few lines in her early records.

"Master passed away, I didn't see his ghost leave the body."

"It turns out that after the monk died, he didn't even have the chance to be a ghost. Master lied to me! He said he would always watch me and my brother!"

"I have lost my master forever."

On the side of this page, there is a new line of ink: "Yushan, only mortals can enjoy the life of ghosts after death, and the death of monks and demon bodies is the end. You don't need to look for me in the underworld, there is no me in the world This person, but the breeze in the mountains, the bright moonlight, and the gurgling stream may be me, I have no regrets, don't miss it."

Song Yushan stroked the text, his fingers trembling.

"Miss?" Jin Da felt that Miss was not in the right mood.

"Uncle Jin, I really lost Master forever!" Song Yushan's last hope was also shattered: "Master lied, she said she wanted me to have a drink with her..."

It's a real farewell, and I can't even see the ghost of the master.
