The mountain road is difficult to walk, and Yu Ci died at a young age, with a low status, so naturally there was no big ostentation, and the funeral was only a few people. Little tears.

There are several uncles standing behind Yu Xi, layers of white snow fell on the fresh soil of the grave, as if adding the last new clothes for this innocent little scholar.

Song Cheng wiped away tears and took out the "Book of Songs" that he had brought to Yu Ci. He approached and knelt in front of Yu Ci's grave. Xiang, swallowing tears silently, spoke to Yu Ci with a crying sound, he said, "Yu Ci, I'm Song Cheng, I'm here to see you."

Qi Yue didn't stand or kneel, and finally had to squat beside Song Cheng.

Song Cheng opened the book of poems he had brought, and either recited or sang, and burned a page for every one he read.

"Jiang Yousi, his son returns, I don't accept it. If I don't accept it, I will regret it later."

"Jiang Youzhu, the son returns, not with me. If not with me, he will be with him later."

"Jiang Youtuo, the son returns, and I don't pass by. If I don't pass by, his roar sings."

Song Cheng finally couldn't help it, he burst into tears, lying on Yu Ci's grave, he couldn't understand why the sky was so ruthless, how old Yu Ci was, and he was still a child.Song Cheng still remembered the brilliance in Yu Ci's timid eyes. If he was still alive, if he was still alive, wouldn't he be able to leave his name in history and be famous for generations?

"Yu Ci, I'm sorry, I'm late, I, if only I came yesterday." Song Cheng didn't care about the snow on the ground, as if he couldn't feel the cold north wind in winter.Qi Yue dragged Song Cheng up distressedly, he patted Song Cheng's shoulder, pulled out the warm padded coat and wiped the tears on Song Cheng's face, "Cheng, the dead is gone, don't act like this , You see, the tears and snot are frozen together."

Song Cheng hugged Qi Yue and cried aloud, and kept saying, "Qi Yue, Yu Ci is dead, Yu Ci is gone, he will not come back again."

Yu Xi wiped away his tears, and he said to Song Cheng, "Brother Cheng, don't cry, my brother said, if you come, I will tell you, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, don't be sad."

Song Cheng pulled his body out of Qi Yue's arms, only to see Yu Xi's eyes were red like a bunny, but he was still comforting himself, Song Cheng reached out to wipe Yu Xi's tears, he choked and said, "Xiao Xi, in the future I am your brother, Yu Ci is gone, I am your brother."

Yu Xi nodded, he said, "Brother."

This year, Song Cheng was ten years old, while Yu Xi was only six years old.

The funeral was also delayed for a long time, and the adults took the children down the mountain. Song Cheng held Qi Yue's hand all the way without saying a word.He is not a child, he has a young soul living in his body, and he knows what it means to die.He has been in poor health since he was born. When he was a child, the hospital was as familiar as home. He got better when he was older. When he went to university, he also took a break from school for half a year because of his poor health.

Song Cheng suddenly thought, is he still alive in modern times?I'm afraid he's dead.

Song Cheng felt sad for the medical conditions in ancient times. A simple cold easily took a young life.Song Cheng carefully recalled what the woman said about Yu Ci's symptoms, but he felt even more helpless.When he was in the hospital, he had seen such a child, also Yu Ci's age, with the same symptoms as Yu Ci, the myocarditis caused by a cold, under modern medical conditions, the child recovered quickly.But in ancient times, even if the imperial doctor came to this disease, there was probably nothing to do about it.

Song Cheng unconsciously sighed in his heart, it's all fate.

Song Cheng was dragged down the mountain by Qi Yue in a trance, and just as he went down the mountain, he saw Xu Fuyi standing in the snowy ground waiting for him and Qi Yue, Song Cheng approached and called, "Brother."

Xu Fuzhi picked up Song Cheng. In fact, Song Cheng was already ten years old at this time. Although his frame was smaller, he was a big child after all. Li wrapped himself up and said, "It's all right."

Song Cheng nestled in Xu Fuzhi's arms, took a few breaths of dry and warm breath, and said as calmly as possible, "Yu Ci is gone."

Xu Fuzhi only patted Song Cheng on the head, "Go home."

"Ah."

Xu Fuzhi held Song Cheng in his arms, and took Qi Yue to say goodbye to Yu Ci's uncles, then turned and left Yu's Village.Qi Yue peeked at Song Cheng from time to time, Xu Fuzhi made a silent gesture to Qi Yue, and whispered, "I'm already asleep."

Qi Yue nodded and said, "Just fall asleep."

Xu Fuzhi nodded, just now he saw Qi Yue holding Song Cheng and crying, his eyes were in a trance, he knew that the child was extremely sad, and he didn't dare to say anything else, a ten-year-old child said no He is big, he is not small, he has his own thoughts in his heart, I am afraid that he will not be able to comfort others by himself, so he should go back and ask his mother to coax him.

It was almost the end of the new year, and the academy was on holiday. In the last exam, without Yu Ci, Song Cheng took the No.1 exam without any suspense, but when holding the paper in his hand, Song Cheng felt even more uncomfortable up.

Ever since Yu Ci's death, Qi Yue and Qi Chen have been extremely obedient.Song Cheng just sighed, and Qi Yue wanted to follow up to see if Song Cheng felt uncomfortable.

Qi Yue put away his test papers, packed his bookcases and went home. He patted Song Cheng and said, "Aren't you happy that you got the first place in the exam? Hurry up and pack it up and go home. My mother made stewed meat today, and I want you to eat at my house." Woolen cloth."

Song Cheng stuffed the first paper into the book case, and said, "Why are you happy, Yu Ci is not here, what can you get out of the test?"

Recently, Qi Yue always sees Song Cheng with a sad face, talking about Yu Ci from time to time, he really feels distressed, and feels that his little brother is full of Yu Ci, so he snorted and said, "Why not?" First, wait, I will definitely show you the exam next year!"

Song Cheng nodded and said, "We'll wait and see."

The end of the new year is approaching, lanterns have been gradually hung up on the streets outside, the atmosphere of the year is getting stronger, the snow that fell a few days ago is still accumulated on the treetops of the eaves, Song Cheng looked up at the faint sunset, and looked like a big brother beside him Qi Yue, the corner of his mouth evoked his first smile since Yu Ci's death.

Life is like this, no matter how much suffering there is, people have to swallow it, and continue to walk on the unknown road, where more people will come and go, and there is no turning back.

Song Cheng patted Qi Yue on the shoulder, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Qi Yue."

Qi Yue was startled by Song Cheng's sudden politeness, he was taken aback, and saw the long-lost smile on Song Cheng's face, he touched his head and smiled, "You are my brother, I am your Yue elder brother!"

Song Cheng nodded and said, "I'll return your slingshot when I get back."

Qi Yue: Give it back to me!You want to give it back to me!

The endless surprise in his ninja's heart, suppressing the continuous curvature of the corners of his mouth, pretended to be completely indifferent and said, "Return, give it back to me? If you like it, you can play with it. Of course, if you want to return it Give it to me, I don't mind." He rubbed his hands and laughed dryly.
