Sparrow God Reborn

Xu Wugui's appearance and departure are like a movie, too fast and too unreal, a hasty glance, after playing such a fierce game of cards, he seems to have unloaded the burden of decades, put down The obsession of my whole life passed away very peacefully.

Xu Bi'e was crying in the hospital, kneeling in front of Xu Wugui's body with disheveled hair. There were a lot of people coming and going in the hospital, and she was used to seeing life and death countless times every day. , and went to do their own thing.

Hao Meng felt very uncomfortable.

He can probably understand Xu Bi'e's mood, just like on the day when Mao Hu passed away, people who had no relatives in this world, their only family member left, would feel a kind of deep anxiety and bewilderment, and would feel that the world might be lost again. There is no place to stay, or someone to think about.

Xu Bi'e also has no family. After following Xu Wugui for so many years, Xu Wugui is his only connection, so no matter how fierce Xu Wugui was in the past, Xu Bi'e still respects Xu Wugui very much.Once Xu Wugui left, Xu Bi'e was truly unaccompanied in this world.

Hao Meng sighed deeply, and said to Yan Ze: "It's not suitable to talk to him about joining the team today, let's do it another day." After a pause, he continued: "I will also help with Xu Wugui's funeral. , After all, he is someone my master knows, so I won’t go to the training room these days. Please help me to watch.”

Yan Ze nodded, thought for a while, then stared at Hao Meng and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, even if you don't fight with him, Xu Wugui's illness will not turn around."

The doctor also said that whether it was Xu Wugui's illness or Xu Wugui's own constitution, he couldn't survive for too long.The reason why he has been holding on is just because he is holding his breath. Now that he has played cards with Hao Meng, the breath in his chest is smooth. Naturally, he has nothing to worry about and walks peacefully.

Xu Wugui walked very quickly. Before the ambulance arrived, he had already stopped breathing, and he even had a rare smile on his face. According to Xu Bi'e, this had never happened before.After all, it can be regarded as a happy funeral.

"I know, and I didn't blame myself." Hao Meng said, "I just feel uncomfortable." He patted Yan Ze's shoulder comfortingly, and seemed to cheer himself up, "It's okay, I'll wait until this matter is over. That's good, just express your condolences when you see an acquaintance gone. Thank you for being busy with me for so long, and I'll treat you to dinner later."

Yan Ze smiled, didn't say anything, took out his mobile phone to check the time, and said: "I have something to do here, I'll go back first, you stay here with him, if there is anything to call, I'll come back later."

Hao Meng waved: "Go."

After Yan Ze left, Hao Meng walked over, intending to ask Xu Bi'e about her next plan.

Xu Wugui's funeral was very simple, mainly because Xu Wugui didn't have much relationship with others before his death. Although he lived in Haiqiao City for so many years, he had never been particularly close to anyone.It was even worse for Xu Bi'e, who kicked the court all day long and made a lot of troubles. Now that Xu Wugui has passed away, there is no one who comes to mourn.

It was the people from Xiyanghong who found out about this and came to help. By the way, they didn't make the mourning hall too deserted.

The memorial service, cremation, everything was done quickly and simply, and it was exactly the same as Xu Wugui's style of playing cards. Of course, Yanyang Yanze also arranged for it.Xu Bi'e wasn't too polite, after all, it's useless to be polite, and he is about to become a member of Sunset Red, I really want to thank him, there will be opportunities in the future.

I don't know if Yanze arranged it on purpose, Xu Wugui's cemetery was bought next to Maohu.The two cemeteries are adjacent to each other, Hao Meng couldn't laugh or cry, and asked Yan Ze: "You said you put him here, will my master come to my dream tonight and kill me? Isn't everyone gone? Stop, don't think I'm disgusting him on purpose."

"Don't worry," Fang Dahai heard his words from the side, and said, "Brother Hai, I guarantee that if the two masters meet underground, our master will still have the upper hand. Maybe Master Ren Mao is lonely underground For many years, you have sent a bird friend there, and he still thinks you are caring." Fang Dahai thought for a while, and then said: "I think we should not find a few people who can play mahjong in the future. They are leaving. Put together and open a teahouse. Mengmeng, brother, didn’t you say that you were too dishonest before, do you have the heart to let Master Mao be absent in the underground?”

Hao Meng thought to himself, the tomb of his own "Ding Yuan" is not far away, but now there are really three missing one.

It was raining lightly, so Xu Bi'e put away the black umbrella and put it on the ground. Regardless of the wet ground, she just knelt down and kowtowed three times to the tombstone.

He knocked so hard that Hao Meng could hear a "boom", the words on the tombstone were wet, and Xu Bi'e's clothes were stuck to her body.

Hao Meng put away her umbrella, stood under Yanze's umbrella, took out two bottles of sorghum wine from her pocket, gave one bottle to Xu Bi'e, and took the other bottle in her hand.

He poured half of the wine on the ground in front of the cemetery, and the smell of the wine soon disappeared. Hao Meng knelt down and put the remaining half bottle of wine in front of the tombstone before standing up. He said: "In the future Someone will accompany you, Master, if you quarrel with Uncle Xu, you must resolve it internally, don’t come to me, it’s useless to look for me, remember to remember.”

Xu Bi'e also did as Hao Meng did. He stood up, looked at the tombstone, and remained silent for a long time.

Such an atmosphere, no matter how relaxed it is, seems to be forced.The two names of Mao Yihu and Xu Bi'e are engraved on the tombstone, representing the two top masters in the sparrows who have passed away.

This is embarrassing, no matter how amazing and talented people are, they will disappear one day, as if they had a long dream.But for Xu Wugui, this may not be a relief.

Xu Wugui was so arrogant in his bones, he didn't see anyone as his opponent, after Mao Yihu left, Xu Wugui stopped playing cards with others, he obviously loved mahjong, but he didn't come out anymore, probably because he was bored.

Now that these two people are underground, they probably can't argue with each other, their faces are red, their ears are red, their heads are bloody, Mao Hu has Meng Qiu by his side, maybe they will laugh at Xu Wugui's lonely family.Laughing and cursing like this is lively, but I feel that they are just two lonely old men.

Because the sparrow way they insisted on is gone.

The older generation left one by one, not just Xu Wugui and Mao Yihu, but also Dou Zongming, Sun Lie, and Gu Xuehong Ruan Xiuqin. They were going to leave after all. After the old generation left, the new generation hadn't yet formed its own structure.For the first time, Hao Meng had doubts about sparrows. He thought, what is the real meaning of today's Sparrow Road, competitive sparrows?And how should we persevere?

He couldn't find an answer to this question right now.

After everyone had offered incense one by one, Xu Bi'e stood in the rain and watched for a long time before saying to everyone: "Let's go." His tone was very low, and his voice was a little hoarse. He was too busy these days and didn't have time. sleep.

Everyone walked down the mountain together, Hao Meng and Yan Ze fell behind.

Hao Meng said: "Actually, in the end, there were two things that were not clear."

Yan Ze glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The card that I lost." Hao Meng said, "When Xu Wugui saw me, he said that my master had deliberately lost that card to him, but when my master talked about it before, he always said I played by mistake, and I didn't mention intentionally throwing water. And when I played cards that day, if I didn't know how the game would develop in advance, I would definitely have played by mistake, so I think Xu Wugui was wrong, my master didn't lose on purpose Yes, it’s just that the skills are not as good as people.”

When Yan Ze heard this, he nodded and said: "Then the skills are not as good as others."

"But my master, for sure, did the deliberate waterproofing thing. You think, my master has left, and my master has no interest in being famous. Maybe he really wants to shrink back and live a quiet life. That's why Xu Wugui said Might be right too."

Yan Ze: "...you think too much."

Hao Meng sighed: "The main reason is that my master is really difficult to explain."

"What's the second thing?" Yan Ze asked.

"It's Xu Wugui, Yan Ze," Hao Meng pondered, "Do you really think Xu Wugui didn't recognize me?"

Yan Ze paused.

"No matter how much I imitate, it is not. The two of them have been fighting for so long, even if Xu Wugui's brain is not clear, his old eyes are dim, and he may recognize my person, but he may not recognize the wrong card. I use However, Xu Wugui's strength is superior to mine. For example, maybe someone imitated your card game and played against me, and I am old and dizzy, but if it is Yanyang or Dou Dou who pretends You, I can see right away." Hao Meng said: "It's easy for an expert to pretend to be an ordinary person, but it's too difficult for an ordinary person to pretend to be an expert. To Xu Wugui, I'm just an ordinary person."

Yan Ze quietly listened to him, and asked, "So? What do you want to say?"

"I think he may know that I'm not my master." Hao Meng said: "But he himself was immersed in this illusion, and he didn't expose me, either to lie to me or to lie to himself."

Perhaps it was because the fight with Hao Meng was too carefree, or because Hao Meng was following Mao Hu's way of playing cards, Xu Wugui may have realized something was wrong, but he was immersed in the pure way of the past, I was satisfied in the contest, so I pretended not to recognize it.

Sometimes it is very painful to be sober, but it is better to be a little confused.

"I don't know the answer to these two questions." Hao Meng sighed, whether Mao Hu deliberately lost a card back then, and whether Xu Wugui recognized that Hao Meng was not Mao Hu, these two questions, Until now, it has become an eternal unsolved mystery.

Yan Ze was noncommittal and said, "It's not important."

"what?"

"For some questions, it doesn't matter what the answer is." Yan Ze walked forward unhurriedly, "Therefore, there is no need to care about it."

When Hao Meng thought about it, she was convinced.Indeed, neither answer, nor the question itself, matters now.The love and resentment between the two masters of the older generation, the laughter and cursing have all been settled. In addition to paying tribute to the passed away masters, the more important thing is to look at the newcomers of the younger generation.

He followed Yan Ze, walked for two steps, and suddenly saw someone coming down the mountain with an umbrella under the rain.

This person is Jiang Hua.

Seeing Jiang Hua here, Hao Meng was a little surprised. Jiang Hua also saw them, so she quickened her pace and came forward to greet them.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Jiang Hua said enthusiastically, "A friend of you...has passed away?" Hao Meng and the others were all dressed in black, so naturally they had attended the funeral.

"Oh, a new member of our club, his relative has passed away, let's take a look." Hao Meng looked at Jiang Hua, "Why are you here?" He looked in the direction Jiang Hua came down from, his heart moved, and he asked: "You came to see Ding Yuan?"

Jiang Hua was startled, then smiled and nodded.

Hao Meng was silent.

Ding Yuan's tomb looked like no one had visited it for a long time, and there was not even a signpost on the tombstone. Hao Meng didn't know what Jiang Hua's difficulties were, or he didn't want to cause trouble, but Hao Meng felt that the current Jiang Hua really made him feel strange, as if he had never known him before.

"Ding Yuan's death day hasn't come yet." Yan Ze said suddenly, "Why did Mr. Jiang come to visit the grave?"

Hao Meng sensitively noticed that the tone of Yan Ze's words was a bit tit-for-tat. He looked at Yan Ze in surprise, seeing Yan Ze staring at Jiang Hua with a hint of sharp eyes. People instinctively want to escape.

Jiang Hua was also stunned, then smiled unnaturally, shook her head and said, "A Yuan and I are friends, there is no need for a death date... Let's take a look when you think about it."

"It's really rare," Yan Ze twitched his lips, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Ding Yuan has been dead for a year, and Mr. Jiang seems to think of it for the first time."

This time, even Jiang Hua frowned, but he quickly felt relieved, and just said vaguely: "Mr. Yan really knows how to joke." Then he said to Hao Meng: "I still have something to do, let's go first." After finishing speaking left in a hurry.

When Jiang Hua's shadow could no longer be seen, Hao Meng lowered her head and said nothing. He was not a fool. Yan Ze's words just now had a lot of meaning. Although he would not intentionally doubt his friend, he did not know when he would start talking. He no longer blindly believed in Jiang Hua.

"Do you have any ideas?" Hao Meng asked Yan Ze suspiciously, "Or did you find out something?"

"I just want to remind you." Yan Ze held an umbrella and continued to walk forward leisurely. He said, "The answers to some questions are not important, but for some questions, you must know the answers."

"for example?"

"For example, is Jiang Hua your friend?"
