Druid's Country Retirement

Carrying the coffin up the mountain.

The key point is the word "up".

What you need to go up the mountain is not carried by people, but pulled by people!

At the foot of the mountain, relatives and friends seeing him off witnessed the spectacular scene of the coffin being carried up the mountain.

The ton-heavy coffin was dragged and moved in a strange way.

After passing through a long-span steep slope, the bodies of the coffin bearers were able to remain upright. The scene was like more than thirty Michael Jacksons doing 45-degree forward leans at the same time, but these coffin bearers were leaning back 45 degrees. .

"The coffin can't fall down, hey! It can't fall down, hey! The coffin can't go up, hey! It can't go up, hey!"

"Get out of the way, hey! Move forward, hey! Move forward, hey! One more step, hey! One more step, hey!"

"Raise your hands again, hey! Stretch forward, hey! Stretch forward, hey! Hold the bottom of the coffin, hey! Lift it back, hey!"

"Pull harder, hey! Pull back, hey! Pull back."

With the shouts from the head of the pole, and the cheers of the pole hands and rope pullers, the coffin was carried step by step to the top of the mountain.

At this time, in front of Qinglong Village on the top of the mountain, the mountain people were dressed in plain clothes and stood silently in front of the village gate. Their faces were full of respect for Uncle Mazi. In the hearts of all the mountain people, Uncle Mazi was the last person waiting for Qinglong Village. .

Seventy-two heroes will finally be reunited.

Li Hongbing suddenly discovered that the original gate of Qinglong Village was missing, and a section of the tall village wall was in ruins.

Was it deliberately removed so that the coffin could enter the village?
Thoughts are moving, and the funeral procession also continues to move.

Led by the guide and the mountain master, the team passed through the demolished village gate and walked along the narrow aisle.

When the coffin was carried to the high platform stone tomb, the stone tomb was covered with a piece of white cloth.

Although the winter sun is cold, it still shines warmly on the tombstone, as if it has put a golden coat on the sleeping spirit, making people feel the tenacity and unyielding power.

Mr. Ou was dressed in black and stood beside the tombstone. Next to the tombstone there was a stone covered with red cloth.

"Godfather." Li Hongbing stepped forward to greet him.

Mr. Ou nodded, with a solemn face, looking at the vast funeral procession and the thick red coffin.

"Go and prepare for the farewell ceremony!"

Li Hongbing nodded, turned around and returned to the funeral procession. According to the procedures prepared in advance, wreaths were placed around the stone tomb. Helpers stood around holding white flags. Those who came to see off were lined up in order, and there were rolls of firecrackers. It is spread on the ground and extends to the open space of Qinglong Village, the stone steps of the mountain road, and the foot of the mountain.

Brothers Luo Long and Luo Hu knelt in front of the coffin holding the portrait.

After getting ready, Li Hongbing announced the start of the farewell ceremony as the temporary host.

At the same time, we will introduce the identity of Mr. Ou, who is hosting the farewell ceremony for Uncle Mazi’s funeral today.

When everyone found out that Ou Lao was the big boss of Northern Province, their minds went blank and turned into excitement.

Uncle Luo left well off, even such a big shot saw him off in person.

Mr. Ou walked to Uncle Luo's coffin, bowed deeply three times, and then turned around to face all the mourners.

"Today, we come here with reverence to pay homage to the anti-Japanese heroes. In this solemn land, the sun shines and reflects on the tombstones of the heroes, telling us about that arduous history."

"We must not forget that in that war-torn era, the anti-Japanese heroes devoted themselves to the battle to defend their homeland without hesitation. They used their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's aggression, for the liberation of the nation and the happiness of the people, They risked their lives and moved forward bravely.”

"Their heroic deeds will always be engraved in our hearts; their dedication will always inspire us to move forward; let us remember history, honor the martyrs, and cherish today's hard-won peace and prosperity."

"We pay our highest respect to the anti-Japanese heroes! Let us work together to inherit and carry forward the patriotic spirit of the heroes and work hard to achieve the great rejuvenation of the nation!"

After saying that, Ou Lao reached out and grabbed the red cloth beside him and pulled it up fiercely.

The red cloth was pulled back, revealing a long strip of green gangster. Seventy-two lifelike statues of heroes were carved on the stone surface before people's eyes. The carving lines were smooth, outlining the heroes' resolute faces and firm eyes, which made people feel awe-inspiring. Respectfully.

"Here, I announce to you that Qinglong Village will become the patriotic education base of Northern Province from today on. We want the children to know the 72 heroes' sacrifice of life and dedication to protect the family and the country."

Wow! !
Applause sounded like waves from the top of the mountain, surging like a tidal wave, and continued.

The farewell ceremony is over.

It was Shanye's turn to lead the mountain people to tear off the white cloth covering the stone tomb.

The bluestone blocks that built the stone tomb were removed and piled aside. Several mountain residents grabbed hold of the depression in the ground and lifted it up. The next moment, a hole was revealed on the ground.

The hole is about the same size as the head of a coffin.

Only then did everyone on the high platform realize that the stone tomb on the emotional ground was fake, and the real tomb was buried under the stone.

"Gang Zitou, come here!" Shan Ye waved to the funeral procession.

It was the first time that Gangzitou saw this kind of cemetery. He quickly stepped forward and stretched his head to take a look at the hole.

Through the light, you can only see the appearance near the entrance of the cave. It should be a cave carved out of a whole piece of green granite. The entrance of the cave has been polished, and no edges and corners can be seen. A cool breeze is blowing out from the entrance of the cave.

Be nice!

The hole is so deep!

Rural people all know that if there is wind in a cave, it means the cave is very deep.

"Burial here is different from other places. You can only drag the coffin and send it inside. You can arrange for the gang to tie the rope with your hands!" Mr. Shan said to the gang leader in a low voice.

Gang Zitou's expression was solemn.

After being a coffin leader all my life, the coffin always lands flat on the ground when buried. This is the first time I have seen one having to put it in from the beginning.

Will it violate any taboo?

But after accepting the money from the boss, he gave up his choice and decided not to believe it.

After hesitating for a moment, Gang Zitou gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."

After that, he took out a thin hemp rope from his pocket and traced it up, down, left and right at the entrance of the cave. Then he returned to the funeral procession and found the pole handler to discuss how to tie the rope so that the safe coffin could be sent in.

On the other side, the funeral procession saw that the ceremony was over, but why was there no burial? The people in front knew what was going on, but the procession behind them did not, so all kinds of discussions started.

in the crowd.

Two men wearing straw hats whispered to each other with their waists crossed.

"Wu Sang, this must be the place where my grandfather is buried!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, Mr. Ishihara, do you know where this is? If they knew you were from a young age, they might arrest you and pay homage to you."

"Isn't Ba friendly? How dare they?"

Wu An looked disdainfully at Shi Yuanwei, who was about to shrink into a ball.

I cursed in my heart, you guys were a bunch of bastards and you killed so many of us back then. Why am I just killing you as a memorial today?
"Mr. Ishihara, I took a big risk to bring you here. I won't be able to do anything about it next. You'd better find a way on your own!"

"Wu Sang, please help me. I will definitely thank you greatly!" Shi Yuanwei was frightened and quickly grabbed Wu An's arm and prayed.

Even though the country tried its best to deny the sin of killing caused by the invasion, everyone knew that this bloody feud could not be resolved. After coming to Huayan, they knew that every Yanren had a desire for revenge in their hearts.

I have been in Caogou Village for almost two months. I know that my grandfather is buried in Qinglong Village, but I dare not bring it up.

Village Chief Li has been avoiding him. He spent a lot of money renting a house, and his family has been urging him to take his grandfather's remains back.

I was wandering around the village by chance yesterday and heard the villagers mention that there was going to be a funeral in Qinglong Village, so I promised Wu An a lot of money to bring him here.

Grandfather is on the high platform in front, just one step away, and he must not give up.

Wu An felt like a mirror.

Because I had already negotiated with Village Chief Li, I wanted to take my grandfather’s remains back when I was young, but that was a daydream.

During this time, I was just cooperating in acting and getting rebates from renting a house. "Mr. Ishihara, I suggest you talk to Village Chief Li personally. Have you seen the old man next to Village Chief Li? He is a big boss in the province. Maybe you can get back your grandfather's inheritance in the name of investment. bone."

Heard Wu An’s suggestion.

Shi Yuanwei's eyes lit up instantly.

Whoosh!

Why didn't I think of this method?

When I came to Huayan with funds, investment promotion staff from all over the country could not wait to roll out a red carpet to welcome me.

If you propose to that big boss to build a chemical vegetable processing plant in Northern Province.

The hope of getting my grandfather's remains back is high.

"Wu Sang, please take me there."

"Mr. Ishihara, the reward you mentioned" Wu An looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise." Shi Yuanwei looked solemn, but he was already scolding in his heart and made up his mind. As long as this matter is settled today, he will immediately kick the vampire in front of him away. These days He was hooking up with the renter Li Hongqi, pretending he couldn't tell.

"Follow me!" Wu An whispered, then patted the villager in front of him, "Please give me a way, I have something to do with Li Hongbing."

After not being buried for a long time, the villagers in front were upset because they were crowded and were about to get angry. When they heard the people behind them saying that they were looking for Li Hongbing, their angry faces immediately changed to kind ones, and they tried to squeeze out some space to let the two of them pass.

Just like that, we squeezed and talked all the way.

The two walked onto the high platform.

When Shi Yuanwei saw the stone tomb and the cave, he was so excited that he could not wait to dive in, find his grandfather's remains and leave.

"Calm down." Wu An noticed that Xiaoli was not in the right state and quickly reminded him.

At this time, Dad was chatting with Mr. Ou, and Li Hongbing was standing beside him. Not far away, Li Huaizhong and a group of village chiefs were watching eagerly, wishing they could walk over and say a few words.

"Mayor, there are two people going over. Which village are they from?" Zhao Qianjin looked sour when he saw the two people walking that way.

Li Huaizhong narrowed his eyes, lingered on the faces of Wu An and Shi Yuanwei for a long time, and shook his head.

"I don't know him. He shouldn't be from the forest area."

Lu Niu Sheng gloated, "Look, we were stopped by the guards, two stupid young men!"

The village chiefs looked at each other.

The two people were blocked by several young guards with sharp faces.

"Comrade, we know Village Chief Li, and we want to talk to him about something." Wu An tried his best to explain.

The security guard raised his hand to stop Wu An and Shi Yuanwei from approaching, and said coldly.

"We have not received a notice. Please stand back. You can call Mr. Li and ask Mr. Li to pick you up after the communication is completed."

phone.

I would have called if I could, but there is no signal on the mountain.

Wu An shook his head and turned to look at Shi Yuanwei, "Let's go. If we can't get through, there will be guards blocking us."

go?
Where to go?

I've been here for two months.

Enough of your endless exploitation.

It's just one step away from bringing my grandfather's remains back.

Shi Yuanwei's mind started to heat up and he shouted to Li Hongbing who was not far away.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, I am Shi Yuanwei, please meet me!"

"What are you doing? Leave immediately." The capable security guard immediately put his hand into the hem of his clothes and surrounded the two people.

You are so crazy!
Wu An was so frightened that his hair stood on end.

You know what these people do, so don't get me involved if you want to die.

On the other side, Li Hongbing heard the noise, looked up and saw two people surrounded by security personnel.

Who is not Comrade Ishihara Wei, the big dog owner of the B&B community?

Why is he dressed like a rice planter?

Li Hongbing held back his laughter and walked over. When a security guard saw him approaching, he quickly said, "Mr. Li, these two people said they knew you but did not contact you. I suspect they are plotting against the big boss."

"Li Sang, Li Sang, I don't mean any harm." Ishihara explained loudly.

Li Sang?

Is he from a young age?

Through the accent, the security personnel immediately recognized Shi Yuanwei's identity, and their eyes became more vigilant.

Li Hongbing waved his hand, "It's all a misunderstanding. He is a distinguished guest in my village. It's okay."

"According to confidentiality requirements, we need to communicate with Secretary Zhang. Please understand." The security guard nodded, and then said politely, Mr. Li in front of him is the godson of the big boss, so he needs to be given some face.

"Understood, understood!" Li Hongbing naturally would not embarrass these security personnel. After all, they were all doing their jobs. Ou Lao had a special status and had corresponding protection measures.

After a while, Zhang Lei followed the security personnel back.

"Red Soldier, what's going on?"

"Oh, this is an international friend. He also came to pay homage to his ancestors today." Li Hongbing pointed at Shi Yuanwei, who was surrounded and dressed as a rice transplanter.

international friend?

Why do some of the Seventy-Two Heroes in the Forest have relatives abroad?

Zhang Lei didn't know why.

Li Hongbing leaned over and bit his ear for a while, and the latter said to the security guard with a smile in his eyes.

"Okay, no problem. We very much welcome international friends to worship their ancestors."

The security guard raised his hand to signal to let the two people go.

Li Hongbing waved to Shi Yuanwei, "Mr. Shi Yuan, come here, maybe you can see your grandfather."

See grandpa?

After so many years, my grandfather has long turned into a skeletal scum.

Li Sang spoke very strangely.

Shi Yuanwei, who did not understand the connotation, came to a place ten meters away from the stone tomb.

When Dad and Ou saw someone coming, they stopped chatting and smiled politely.

Before getting closer, Ishihara Weisan stepped forward, bowed to Mr. Ou at the standard ninety degrees, and said loudly.

"Hello, Mr. Ou, I am Ishihara Wei, the president of the Northern Province Ishihara Vegetable Co., Ltd. Association. Please take care of me."

Mr. Ou was stunned for a moment, looked up at Li Hongbing, and asked in his eyes.

Today is the day when Uncle Luo is buried. How could a young man pop up?

Are you here to apologize?
