Miao Family Courtyard

29. Funeral

Ms. Miao's body had been in mourning for three days, and she accepted the condolences of all relatives, friends, and people she knew and didn't know in the lobby. Finally, in the early morning of the fourth day, she took the coffin that had already been laid and was carried up. Car, to the Miao family's ancestral grave.

Before the funeral, Uncle Miao knelt in front of the car with his grandchildren and raised the pot over his head. He said tearfully to ask his mother to have a good journey, and then threw the pot down and broke it into several petals.

After the sound was heard, the funeral procession slowly understood.

The funeral procession was a long one, with a few monks and priests walking in the front—the old lady believed in Buddhism and Taoism a little before she was alive.Followed by the Chuichuidada band, in the cold morning, playing the mourning music that has been lingering in the Miao family these days.There were also some people who carried some colorful mansions and maids made of paper, and followed silently.

Miao Shaojue, Miao Shaozhen and Sun Hongming's three grandchildren walked in front of the coffin together in mourning.Miao Shaojue couldn't see the road clearly, and could only distinguish a few obvious color patches in front of his eyes. He asked Sun Hongming to hold his arm, and wept silently while walking.

The Miao family is one of the largest families in the town, and the funeral procession looked very grand. Many people crowded around the coffin, and those who followed the procession were all wearing black clothes. With white flowers, the expression is sad and solemn, taking up half of the road.

Seeing such a posture, some old people even whispered to each other, saying that if they have such a grandeur when they grow old, they will not be in vain in this world.

The enviable old lady Miao was lying in the coffin without knowing who she was. Miao Shaojue walked in front, surrounded by people, but felt chills all over her body.

He couldn't see the old lady's final appearance. Sun Hongming said that the mortician was very skilled, and the old lady looked like a living person. She even held his hand and touched the old lady's meticulously combed hair.

Miao Shaojue didn't know how lively the old lady's face was, but she could feel the cold temperature on her body.

The temperature that can make people jump in an instant seems to still be left in his hands.

Miao Shaojue's heart was cold and aching, and he brushed away Sun Hongming's hand on his elbow.Sun Hongming was puzzled, and came to help him again, just in time for him to catch his hand.

This is the only source of warmth that Miao Shaojue can feel.

The two held hands in the funeral procession, accompanied by mournful music, and walked step by step towards the final destination of the Miao family.
