My understanding is against the heavens, I create a family of villains with longevity.

[The sky is still gloomy, but the heavy rain has stopped at some point. 】

[You walked lightly on the muddy mountain road, your thoughts becoming complicated. 】

[In the past, you thought death was a lively thing. 】

[Because as long as someone dies, it means your family has business again, and your father who has made money will take you to the town to buy candied haws. 】

[In addition, at the funeral, there was even more excitement with the beating of gongs and drums. Every midnight, there was a dedicated chef responsible for cooking bowls of hot tofu noodles, which was your favorite. 】

[Therefore, your perception of death is never a bad thing. 】

[Only today, when your heart feels clogged and your nose feels sour, do you really understand that death is really a very sad thing. 】

[At this moment, you really want to explore what the true meaning of death is. 】

[You ask the old man carrying the coffin next to you, what is death? 】

[The old master held a pipe with peeling paint in his mouth, shook the pipe in his hand, and then took another puff of smoke, and then said with a smile: "Xingyaozi?" Why do you ask? Death is death, what else could it be? '】

[You raised your forehead after hearing this, and had no choice but to ask another old coffin-carrying master, what is death? 】

[The old master was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and showed his yellow teeth and said: "If you die, you will gain nothing, and everything will be lost?"]

[After finishing speaking, the old master glanced at you and felt that you seemed not satisfied with the answer, so he scratched his head and said: "Here, look, is it raining heavily? Wait until the sun comes out tomorrow. The rain that has fallen this time, including the rain stains on the ground, is all gone, and there is no trace of the rain anymore. Isn’t it like a person has died?"]

[When you hear this, you can’t help but be slightly startled. 】

[Is death just a rain? When the rain passes and the sky clears, and the rain stains disappear, is it considered dead? 】

[You don’t know whether this statement is right or wrong, but you keep it in your heart silently. 】

[After you got home, you asked your father again, what is death? 】

[Your father was startled and glanced at you in surprise, as if he was a little surprised, but how could you ask this question as a teenager? 】

[He did not answer in a hurry, but thought about it and said:

"Xingyaozi, actually, there is never a single and correct answer to what death is. It is whatever you think it is.

Over the years, I have traveled all over the country and held many funerals. Everyone behaves differently before death.

Some people feel fear of death. I once saw a prisoner in the Yamen of Huangqiao Town. After learning that he was about to die, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. His face was full of fear, and he shouted to the sky and the earth. Begging not to die.

I have also seen someone who is unusually calm and free when facing death. For him, death is just a journey to go home, and then start again with a different destination.

I have also seen someone smile when facing death. I still remember what that person said to me, death is not losing life, but walking out of time. ”]

at this moment.

Chen Zhixing, whose thoughts had already fallen into chaos, suddenly woke up briefly.

"die."

"It's not that you lost your life, but that you walked out of time?" Chen Zhixing murmured to himself, thoughtfully.

Vaguely, he seemed to have grasped something.

next moment.

His thoughts fell into chaos again and merged into that picture.

[When you heard your father’s words, you couldn’t help but feel a little distracted. 】

[You never thought that your father, who can’t even write in Chinese characters, would actually say something of such caliber. 】

[Then, your father looked at the sky, sighed, and continued:

"Death is never scary. If you think about it on the bright side, it is actually a cocoon that transforms into a butterfly and returns to the sky; it is snow that turns into water and returns to the earth; it is a drop of water that sinks into rivers and oceans and merges with the whole world from then on. .

People will worry about gains and losses and suffer endless torture when they are alive, but once they die, they will actually lose nothing, which is good. ”]

[After your father finished speaking, you couldn't help but nodded in understanding. 】

[Spring passes and autumn comes, and the white horse passes by. 】

[Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. 】

[A few years have passed, and you have gradually become calmer from the hot-blooded young man you were at the beginning, and you are now working as a coffin bearer. 】

[You have been on your own over the years and have shouldered many things for your father. 】

[In these years, you have sent away many people. 】

[There are boys and girls who are clearly in their youth and have just begun their lives, there are old people who have worked hard all their lives and have died, there are many dignitaries who are rich and have power and wealth. There are too many. 】

[Among them, there are many people who have made you feel sorry. That person was so kind and full of life, but he left right away. 】

[One of your childhood friends also passed away due to a serious illness. You cried so hard that your eyes were swollen from crying. 】

[Time passes slowly and you gradually grow up. 】

[Maybe it’s because you’ve seen so much life, separation, and death that you can gradually become calm and indifferent towards death. 】

[Your understanding of death is getting deeper and deeper. 】

[In your opinion, in fact, most people are dying day after day while they are alive. 】

[The so-called death is just the cessation of the previous days. 】

[Death is never a constant word. 】

[It's like a person you pass by. Maybe that pass is the last time you meet him in this life. 】

[You think that maybe the real death is to disappear and be forgotten forever in the hearts of those you really care about. 】

【Spring passes and autumn comes, time turns around. 】

[Another year in the middle of winter, your father suddenly suffered from a serious illness, and then his physical condition declined rapidly. In just a few days, he looked as if he had aged dozens of years. His hair was gray, his body was skinny, and his eyes were sunken. 】

[A sense of death permeated his body. 】

[That day, you knelt in front of his bed. 】

[You have seen too many people before they die. You know that your father is going to die and leave completely. 】

[At that moment, you thought you had seen through life and death, and you burst into tears, crying unnaturally. 】

[Your father stretched out his old and thin hand tremblingly, gently wiped away the tears on your face with his rough fingers, and then said with a smile:

"Xingyaozi, don't cry. Do you still remember what dad told you before? Death is not terrible, nor is it the opposite of life, but it will last forever as a part of life!"]

[In an instant, you were startled. 】

[Death is not the opposite of life, but an eternal part of life! 】
