Chapter 225 The Death of Papa Ann
"father!"

An Xiu'er saw that Father An closed her eyes, she panicked for no reason, she yelled, but he didn't respond, and she would never respond again.

"Wake up." She reached out to push his body, his body shook with her movements, but there was no sign of waking up.

An Tieshi came over, put his finger under his nose, finally withdrew his hand, turned around and said to everyone: "Father has already left."

"I don't believe it, how could it be..." Before the sentence was finished, the tears that had not been taken back just now rolled down again.

"Xiuer..." An Tieshi patted An Xiuer's shoulder, "We are all very sad."

"Brother." An Xiu'er turned around, hugged his waist, buried her head in his waist and wept.

"Don't be sad. Dad knew about his situation a long time ago. He has been waiting for you to come back so that he can see you for the last time. He has no regrets when he sees you." An Tieshi said.

An Xiu'er nodded, then turned to look at the person on the bed, he was motionless, his face was old and serene.

"I don't cry." An Xiu'er nodded her head, said to herself, "I know that once I cry, you will have to try to coax me again."

"Actually, I don't cry that much. I just know that when I cry, you will coax me and agree to my request." An Xiu'er closed her eyes, but tears still rolled down from the corners of her eyes, over her frail face, over her sharp eyes. The slender chin, like beads with broken threads, tick-tock landed on his skirt, dipped into the fabric, and disappeared.

"It's all my fault. I always deceive you with my tears. In the past, you saved some money with great difficulty. You originally hid it to buy tobacco leaves, but when I cried, you took out your private money again. , you will bring it to me to buy sugar, and use it to satisfy my requirements." An Xiuer said.

"It's like I used to go out to play until it was dark, and when I couldn't find you, when I cried, you appeared from nowhere." An Xiuer said with a choked voice, "I know Daddy, you are very good to me." Very good, I don't want anything from you now, I just want you to wake up, okay?"

"I just want you to give me a chance to be nice to you, okay? I can buy you many, many things, fulfill every vow I made to you when I was a child, I want to tell you, I tell you I have never forgotten a word of those words."

"I came back this time and brought you a lot of things. I still remember that year when it was snowing heavily and it was freezing cold, but you had to go hunting in the mountains. You are not a hunter. You only hunted a small one after lying in ambush on the mountain for three days. Rabbit, we are eating food happily, but your hands are chapped and ugly. You said that there are bears on the mountain, and their fur is very warm. If you use it to make gloves, your hands will not get frostbite. But now I bring you After all this, where are you?"

"Every spring, your legs always have a dull pain. The old man in the village said that making wine with medicine is very good for relieving the pain. I also brought it to you, but what about you?"

"Why did I bring you everything, but you were lying on the bed, leaving me only a shell, I don't want to see you so silent, I hope you can wake up and say to me, I Still here."

Mrs. Liang walked forward and patted An Xiu'er's shoulder lightly, her face was also covered with tears.

She choked up and said: "Your father knows everything you do. He will go to another world in the future. We will burn all these to him, and he will receive it."

An Xiu'er nodded, and when she raised her head to look at Liang Shi, her eyes were swollen like walnuts and as red as blood.

"Is it true that I should have died a long time ago?" She suddenly said slowly.

Seeing her ashamed look, Mrs. Liang hurriedly comforted her: "Silly boy, don't do anything stupid, your father and the others are watching you in the sky, they hope you can live a good life, take care of you Take their share."

An Xiu'er bit her lip and said, "Am I Kefu Kefu, or did I take their lives because I was still alive?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Your father is also at this age. He has already run out of oil and light. When he was young, he did a lot of things and survived." Liang said: "I used to talk to your father. When we were together, whenever there was any heavy work, he would not let me do it, and he rushed to do everything. How could he not survive his body with such desperation? If you say so, I am the man of Kefu what."

Mrs. Liang cried as she spoke, she was also an emotional person, and everyone was sobbing when they heard it.

"I'll go and inform the people in the village, some relatives and friends." An Tieshi's eyes were also red, but he remained rational.

Mrs. Liang nodded.

An Tieshi went out to do the work, while An Xiu'er was still sitting by the bed blankly.

The next step was encoffining and rituals. An Xiu'er put on plain white onyx clothes and, like a puppet, followed the mage's instructions to complete the rituals.

On the day of the funeral, she watched his coffin sink into the ground inch by inch, and then she was stunned that he really would never come back.

The dead were like this, and the hired helpers used shovels to shovel down the loess outside inch by inch. An Xiuer stared blankly, and suddenly felt that her heart was tightened by someone, and she even had difficulty breathing. It's difficult.

She opened her mouth and panted heavily. In the midst of winter, the surrounding chill suddenly poured in from her limbs, from her limbs to her heart, making her whole body numb. She was like a puppet, staring blankly. Eyes, don't know what to do.

The sorcerer invited to the side kept talking about being safe in the earth. He softly called Father An's name, counted his life past in detail, and let him live a good life in the Paradise of Elysium.

The loess in the ground gradually submerged the coffin and piled up to the ground. Finally, the pile was higher and higher. The hired helpers used shovels to tighten the loess more tightly. Surrounded by a circle of stones.

An Xiu'er poured down the wine she had brought, and immediately, the whole forest was filled with the smell of wine.

She turned the jars upside down until she emptied all the wine, and then smashed the wine jars one by one and piled them around his tomb.

The crowd performed another ceremony on the grave, sprinkled paper money, advised them to mourn, and then went down the mountain one after another. An Xiu'er's family stayed on the mountain for a long time, and finally went down the mountain with their arms.

Everyone in the family is very sad, but this kind of sadness is only known to me. When outsiders hear it, they just sigh and pity, and then continue to live their own lives.

They couldn't understand how uncomfortable it was to lose the company of a loved one. They even felt that Father An had been ill for so long and dragged down their children. Now that he was gone, it was a relief. Many people persuaded them in this way.

But An Xiu'er felt scared. She was very afraid that the people around her would just disappear one by one. First, Father An, and finally Liang Shi, and then her eldest brother, second brother, including herself, one by one slowly, Leaving this world one after another.

She doesn't know what nostalgia is left in this world, but she is also reluctant to leave like this.

After staying in the An's house for several days, An Xiu'er was in a bad mood, and she always didn't think about food and tea. Even though Mrs. Liang had stepped out of this shadow, An Xiu'er still couldn't cheer up.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liang was also very anxious. She didn't expect that the departure of Father An would hit her so hard.

On this day, the sky finally cleared up. An Xiu'er was sitting in the yard, squinting her eyes slightly, the cold wind was blowing, and the sun was shining on her body, but she couldn't feel the slightest warmth, so she just put her clothes on again. Tightened some.

Almost all the things related to Old Man An in the house were burnt clean, leaving only this rocking chair, which Old Man An liked to sit on when there was nothing to do in winter.

At that time, he also liked to move this chair out, sit in the yard, and take a nap with his eyes closed, but she always came out mischievously, at first she climbed onto him and fell asleep, then teased him narrowly, and then Later, she would cover him with a blanket.

Now, he is no longer there, but his favorite chair is still here. She is lying on this chair, her eyes are closed, and there is darkness in front of her eyes. There are many things coming from the darkness, which makes her feel uncomfortable. I am willing to open my eyes.

A blanket fell on her too.

She trembled her eyelashes a few times, opened her eyes, and saw the emaciated Mrs. Liang, she smiled palely, and called out: "Mother."

"Xiu'er." Mrs. Liang took her hand and said, "It's cold outside, let's sit inside."

"It's okay, I'll bask in the sun." An Xiu'er said.

Mrs. Liang shook her head and said, "Xiu'er, your father has already passed away, so don't think about it so much. He has never done anything wrong in his life, and he is living well in the underworld."

An Xiu'er nodded, but without speaking, Liang said again: "People have to look forward, you have to cheer up."

"I know." An Xiuer replied, "I'm fine."

"It's good that it's okay. If it's okay, you should leave early." Liang said suddenly.

"I don't want to leave now." An Xiu'er said.

Mrs. Liang made up her mind and said: "If you don't leave, you have to leave. You are already a married daughter. Your father has been gone for so long. If you don't leave, the people in the village will gossip."

"Mother, this isn't your sincere words, right?" An Xiu'er turned her body straight, she didn't expect that Mrs. Liang would make a sound to drive her away, she said: "How long I want to stay, I'll let someone else take care of it, anyway, I'm also married here In the village."

Although she said so, she had never visited her hut by the river. An Tiemu told her before that her house had been built and it was beautifully built, but she dared not go to see it. She has been back for so long. Except for the one time when Father An went out for the funeral, she never went out again, and she stayed at home all the time.
