Chapter 51 Goodbye Xia Yehe

Chen Nuo was full of impatience and asked for a change of driver several times, but when Qi Yuntian learned that he did not have a driver's license, he firmly refused.

As a result, Qi Yuntian drove for more than six hours before driving from Shanghai to the coastal town where Xia Yehe's hometown was located.

At this time, if you open the car window, you can smell the strong fishy smell of the sea. The feeling of the sea breeze blowing on your face is like the warm hands of a lover, but Qi Yuntian is a man who does not understand romance. He keeps muttering along the way that his skin will be corroded by the salt in the air.

The address Qi Yuntian asked for did not include the details of the street or building. After arriving in the town, Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian, one an actor and the other an agent, were both very thick-skinned. So they drove a G-Class and went from street to street looking for stores selling funeral supplies to ask.

The town was small, and they were lucky. When they asked about the third store, the owner nodded and said, "I know, it's the Xia family. I set up their mourning hall."

After asking for the address, I drove there.

They had set out from Shanghai at noon, and it was now nearly 8 o'clock in the evening. They were heading along the country road, and before they reached their destination, they heard the sounds of funeral music and rituals coming from afar.

After a few more minutes, the sound of the ritual stopped, and Chen Nuo and the others saw the mourning hall.

On a gentle slope beside the road, it seemed to be a place where funerals were held. There was a brick house on top, and a wide open space around the house. Qi Yuntian stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the eight-cylinder engine of the G-Class only used a little force, and the huge body climbed up the gentle slope. Chen Nuo saw Xia Yehe's yellow QQ, which was parked in a corner of the open space.

Qi Yuntian seemed to recognize Xia Yehe's car, so he parked next to the yellow QQ and turned to ask Chen Nuo, "What should we do now?"

At the other end of the open space, the brutal roar of the G-Class engine made the people who had just finished the ritual look back with expressions of surprise and curiosity.

"It should be my second brother who has arrived." A fat woman in her 40s shouted, "Look, it's a car from Shanghai. I said my second brother would come today. Xia Bing, why don't you go and call your sister out? That damn girl is still crying in there. She only knows how to cry. Hurry up and take her out to kowtow to others."

The young man named Xia Bing was about 28 or 9 years old, strong, dark-skinned and honest-looking. He was wearing a pair of dirty jeans and mourning clothes on his upper body. After hearing what the woman said, he nodded without saying a word and turned to go into the brick house.

As soon as Xia Bing entered the door, he said, "Sister, Mom's relatives are coming and asked us to go out and meet them."

Xia Yehe knelt in front of the coffin in the house, burning paper in the brazier, and said without turning his head: "You still call that woman mother?"

Xia Bing said blankly: "Then what should I call her?"

"never mind."

Xia Yehe struggled to stand up from the cushion in front of the coffin. She was wearing white mourning clothes and a linen cloth. Her face looked exhausted and her eyes were swollen like peaches. Her originally stubborn and clear eyes now had no spirit at all.

After leaving the mourning hall, Xia Yehe asked, "Where is it?"

Xia Yemu pointed and said, "That's the car."

"Haha, Mercedes, she can brag for three days again."

According to the local customs, before the elders who came from afar get off the car, the children of the deceased must kneel down and kowtow to greet them. Before that, other relatives cannot come forward to greet them, and the people who come cannot get off the car. Therefore, the fat woman stood there and did not go over to greet them. At this moment, seeing Xia Yehe coming out of the mourning hall weakly, she ignored the relatives and friends around her and cursed directly: "Xia Yehe, how can you be your father's daughter? My second brother came so far and now he is waiting for you! You are still walking slowly here, didn't you have lunch? Oh, Xia Yehe, why did your father give birth to such a daughter like you. I tell you, you should go over and kowtow to your second uncle now. This time, I went to borrow money everywhere to hold your father's funeral. I owe a lot of debts. I am just waiting for people to be kind enough to lend us some money."

Xia Yehe looked at her with a deathly pale face, and without saying anything, he and Xia Bing walked towards the parking lot. They had only taken two steps when another car suddenly drove up. This time it was a white Mazda that was neither new nor old, and it also had a Shanghai license plate.

Xia Bing was a little undecided: "Sister, which car should we pick up first?"

Xia Yehe walked forward slowly and said, "Whatever. They are all her relatives anyway."

Xia Bing said, "Then let's go to the one in front first."

Xia Yehe walked closer, and Qi Yuntian and Chen Nuo in the car also saw her through the rearview mirror. Qi Yuntian grabbed Chen Nuo's sleeve and said, "The little sister looks so pitiful."

Chen Nuo opened the car door and was about to get out, but Qi Yuntian stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, there are so many people here, and you haven't explained your relationship with her clearly yet, why are you going out? Let's wait for her to come over and hear what she has to say first."

So Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian sat in the car, waiting for Xia Yehe to come.

Chen Nuo saw from the rearview mirror that Xia Yehe seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to before, and her whole appearance had changed. Her already big eyes now seemed even bigger, and her chin was sharper than before. She was wearing mourning clothes, and her entire face was hidden in the shadows, almost invisible.

Chen Nuo actually always had a good impression of Xia Yehe, whether it was teaching him to dance diligently or doing what he said, a one-night stand was really a one-night stand, which was worthy of him. This was also the reason why he came here this time.

After he came and saw Xia Yehe like this, even though he was a cold-hearted scumbag, he still felt a little distressed.

A car seemed to be parked next to them, but Chen Nuo didn't care at all. His eyes were on the thin figure in the rearview mirror.

Seeing Xia Yehe walk to the rear of their car and disappear in the rearview mirror, Chen Nuo opened the door and got out.

He called out, "Xia Yehe."

When Xia Yehe heard someone calling her, she was just about to kneel down because she noticed that the passenger door was opened and a figure got out of the car quickly. She thought it was her stepmother's brother who didn't understand the rules here, so she bent her knees and was about to kneel on the ground.

Then, she heard her own name.

The voice calling her was very familiar. It had often appeared in her dreams over the past month.

She and the owner of this voice had been to many places and done many things in their dreams.

Once when they traveled to the sun, they were treated as guests of honor by the Queen Mother of the West, and another time they were chased by three gangsters with guns and jumped off a cliff. Sometimes they had two daughters and a son and lived together until old age, and sometimes his ex-girlfriend came back to find him, giving her a heartbroken farewell with tears on the pillow.

Well, this time it was quite strange, he came to his own house.
