bad youth

That night, I received a call. Yu Chengfei told me that the elders in Yang Mengying's hometown had counted the days and would be buried on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.I asked if I could go, and Yu Chengfei said come on, just don't let Yang's mother see it, just kowtow secretly and go.

Tomorrow is the sixth day of Ye Zhan's coma, so I will see Yang Mengying off in the morning, just in time to enter the ICU in the afternoon.I talked to Ye Zhan's parents, and they both nodded numbly, each looking exhausted.In the past six days, they have hardly closed their eyes, and their eyeballs are bloodshot. Even after taking a nap, they would wake up immediately. When they woke up, they would ask, "Is there any news about my son?" In return, they were disappointed again and again.These days, the sense of crisis in our hearts is getting heavier and heavier, and we always feel that it is time to face it.Sometimes when I wake up in a daze in the middle of the night, I can still hear them say: "If my son doesn't mess around, there won't be such a day." Mix it up.

The next day, I said goodbye to Ye Zhan's parents, got out of the hospital and took a bus to Yang Mengying's hometown village.According to the address provided by Yu Chengfei, Yang Mengying's hometown is not far away, just near Beiyuan City.Although this village is close to Beiyuan, it has not touched the light of the city at all. It has been poor for generations, and its living standard is still in the 80s.It is said that Yang's mother was seduced by a man when she was young, and later she was pregnant with Yang Mengying, and the man bought a house in Beiyuan City, left her a sum of money, and disappeared without a trace.People in the village poked Yang's mother's spine, and her relatives cut off contact with her.Mother Yang took her daughter and moved to Beiyuan City, and became the first person in the village to live in the city.

This time Yang Mengying died, even if Yang's mother was born with a wild man, she would still be buried in the village according to the rules, and the people in the village could not say anything.This village is really barren and backward. There are only two buses a day. I took the morning bus, and it was exactly eight o'clock when I arrived at the village.When you get off the car, you can hear the sound of gongs, drums and mourning music from a distance, and you don't need to ask anyone, just follow the sound and walk all the way.Because it just snowed a few days ago, the temperature has risen these days, the road is muddy, and the heels of the shoes are covered with mud after a while.With one deep foot and one shallow foot, I turned around and turned eight times, and finally saw the mourning hall in an open space in front of me.

This kind of mourning hall in Murakami is very typical, it is a tent built with nylon cloth, some wreaths and other things are piled inside, and an altar table is placed in the middle, and Yang Mengying's black and white photo is placed on it.Behind the altar is a coffin.In front of the mourning hall, the band is playing hard, and the custom in the countryside is to hold the funeral lively.Yu Chengfei and the others were all wearing white clothes, and all the girls were there. Nan Nan was Yang Mengying's sister, so she was naturally among them.They were sitting or standing in the mourning hall, but they had nothing to do for the time being, and everyone looked sad.

At a glance, they are all acquaintances, and there are almost no people in the village. Are they still unwilling to accept this mother and daughter after everyone is dead?Brick knelt in front of the coffin and remained motionless for an unknown amount of time.Kneeling in the back were Yang Mengying's little sisters, that is, Scorpion Girl and the others, all dressed in white, kneeling in front of the altar, crying and kowtowing their heads from time to time.And Mother Yang sat on a straw mat, staring blankly at the photo of her daughter on the table.And around the mourning hall, there were also some students from Chenggao or Beiqi. Regardless of their relationship with Yang Mengying, anyone who could come came here.

Seeing this scene broke my heart again.It was me, I killed Yang Mengying!This thought swirled in my mind again, and I almost fell to the ground uncontrollably.Yu Chengfei was the first to discover me, walked over quickly, and said, "Wait here, I'll call a few people to let Mother Yang go to rest." A boy went over to persuade Yang's mother, but Yang's mother was reluctant at first, but they still took her away.

I just walked over trembling, and knelt down in front of Yang Mengying's spirit, tears pouring down like a torrential rain.Everyone gathered around and kowtowed, there were hundreds of people.All the villagers passing by made a sound of tsk tsk, and this scale was even more grand than the death of the elders in the village.After kowtowing a few times, Yu Chengfei pulled me up and led me to the open space behind the mourning hall.Several people with a good relationship also gathered around, first asking me about Ye Zhan's situation.I said it was still the same, and the doctor said that if I couldn't wake up tomorrow, I'm afraid I'd be lying in bed forever.Everyone sighed, Xiaochun and the others secretly wiped away their tears.Yu Chengfei said: "We buried Yang Mengying today, and we can go back after another day of guarding tomorrow. There will be too many people in a while, so you follow the funeral procession, Mother Yang probably won't find you."

I nodded, and everything was fine according to Yu Chengfei's arrangements. Now I really don't want to use my brain at all.There were many people around the mourning hall. Gong Ning sent me a set of mourning clothes, and I hid in a corner after putting them on.After a while, Mother Yang came back, and she would not look at other people in her current state of mind, she was still sitting on the straw mat in front of the table in a daze.The four heavenly kings surrounded me, carefully preventing Yang's mother from seeing me, but it felt like superfluous.I can't control that much, I sat down on the ground, my whole body was hollowed out again, I thought about Ye Zhan for a while, and Yang Mengying for a while.

I looked at all the people walking back and forth in front of me, and suddenly I was very afraid that I would hurt them by implicating them, and I felt like I wanted to stay away from them, the farther away the better.While being upset, Bai Qing suddenly walked over and told Gong Ning and the others to leave.I knew that Bai Qing had something to say to me, so I called out bitterly: "Sister."

"Yes." Bai Qing responded softly, and said, "Fifth Sister asked me to tell you that you don't have to worry about the school."

"Huh?" I was a little surprised.

"Fifth Sister begged her father to suppress the matter." Bai Qing said: "After all, if this matter becomes a big issue, it will not do the school any good. You are not responsible for the losses suffered by the school, windows, tables, chairs, blackboards, etc. , have all replaced with new ones. There are also students who were injured in the scuffle, and her father is responsible for all the medical expenses. Of course, the principal has withdrawn. Although Wumei's father is only an investor, he still has some power .”

"Yeah." I nodded, I don't know what it feels like, the rest of my life?Why am I so numb?

"However..." Bai Qing glanced at me and pursed her lips, seeming to have something hard to say.

I smiled wryly: "The school expelled me, right?"

Bai Qing nodded: "Fifth Sister's father can forgive whatever he says, but he can't let this student stay in Beiqi."

My heart ached.It's exactly the same as the previous Slap King, he wants to drive me out of Chenggao at any cost.It seems that I am indeed a broom star who is annoying to others, and I can't blame any school for not wanting me.Bai Qing continued: "Fifth Sister has tried her best, but it still doesn't work. She is too embarrassed to tell you, so I..."

I raised my head and looked at Zhou Mo.Zhou Mo was also looking at me with apology in his eyes.My heart suddenly ached again. I ruined her most cherished Beiyuan No. [-] Middle School, and she still treated me so infatuatedly, which undoubtedly made me feel even more ashamed.

Bai Qing asked again: "Wang Hao, you...don't blame Fifth Sister?"

I smiled wryly: "How could it be? Beiqi should fire me. Besides, I really have no face to stay any longer."

Bai Qing sighed: "Then what should you do, where are you going next?"

I shook my head: "I don't know." I haven't thought about these things yet, there are so many things in front of me, I won't think about them at all.

At this moment, the playing music suddenly became louder, and the funeral procession was about to set off.There was loud cannon fire and crying, and Yu Chengfei and others roared and lifted the coffin up with all their strength.Those who beat gongs and drums walked in the front, and Brick followed behind holding Yang Mengying's black and white portrait. Yu Chengfei and the others carried the coffin and walked steadily. Then there was a long funeral procession, all students from Chenggao or Beiqi.I was also mixed in the crowd, I just felt that my eyes were in a trance, and paper money floated in the air from time to time, just following them unconsciously.

The road was muddy and the sky was gloomy. Everyone came to the mountain in an orderly manner, and came to the tomb that had been dug long ago.I followed at the end of the team, but I couldn't quite see what was going on in front of me, I could only hear the sound of mourning.

When sending Yang Mengying to the ground to rest in peace, another whip was lit, and in the green smoke, paper money was floating all over the sky.Everyone knelt down together, and the sound of crying spread far and far.There are many people in the village gathered around, it is probably difficult to see such a spectacular scene in normal times.

The first dust was shoveled by the bricks, and more than a dozen men surrounding the grave pit shoveled the soil together, and completely buried Yang Mengying's coffin in the ground.This girl who once brought us countless joys left this world forever.

When the soil was completely covered, Brick suddenly let out a loud roar, fell to his knees in front of the grave, raised his head and began to howl.

"I told you to bah three times, why don't you bah!"

Brick cried and said these words, and went to dig the soil like crazy again, as if he wanted to dig Yang Mengying out again.

The men pulled him away, forcibly held down his legs and feet to prevent him from moving, and said things like "I will be safe in the ground."Brick roared and howled, and the sound rang out in this empty wilderness, lingering in everyone's heart for a long time.
