my old life

Chapter 2696 People die like lights go out

The old man closed his eyes in front of me, and his whole body lost all vitality. After calculating the last hexagram of his life, he was as silent and lifeless as a lamp running out of oil at the last moment.

"Old man? Old man?" I tentatively called out twice, but the old man didn't give me any response.

His head tilted slightly as if he had fallen asleep, but his movements seemed very awkward. He reached out and touched the old man's carotid artery, and it was really gone!
It is impossible for a person to pretend that the carotid artery disappears, and the stretched wrinkles cannot deceive me. When the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, it is his deadline.

I have never seen a person die in such a short period of time, as silently as if the oil was exhausted, just a moment in the blink of an eye.

The last sentence left by the old man hit the point, the fate of a person like me will only be in my own hands, but his final calculation made me a little confused.

If you go south to fight, you will die, and you will live in the underworld three times... The old man won't let me do the south war, but I have never done the south war!Never did.

"What's the matter? Has the old man left?" Long Lifei entered the door and asked, he had been standing at the door just now.

"gone."

I stood calmly in front of the old man. At this moment, there were indescribable waves and shocks in my heart, because he had really counted his deadline.

Maybe in his life he already knew that he would meet me, someone who would end his life, but I didn't expect it to be in such a way.

There was no struggle for survival as expected, no fierce resistance as expected, and he finally calculated my future and destiny for me. Maybe this is what people say when they are about to die!
"You guys came in to help, the old man left as soon as he said, hey..." Long Lifei greeted, and it was obvious that there was some regret on his face.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death in the six realms of reincarnation, Uncle Long, please take it easy, everyone will have this day sooner or later." I comforted Long Lifei with a pun.

You have to pay it back sooner or later, one day earlier or one day later, but no one can hide from it...

Several people hurriedly carried the old man into the coffin, and saw that his face was very calm when he lay down, and the wrinkles on his dry face were gradually stretched.

As the saying goes, death does not bring disease. No matter how ugly a person's sick appearance is before death, he will become very peaceful after death.

Because the skin of a person will become loose after death, whether it is forehead wrinkles or eye wrinkles, they will become stretched due to muscle relaxation, and urine and stool will be out of control.

The old man tied his trouser legs and wore a fairy hat on his head. He held dry dog ​​food in his left hand and yellow paper money in his right hand. It is said that after death, a person must pass through a vicious dog pass, and the money in his hand must be used to deal with imps who have closed the door.

Rich people will have emerald jade in their mouths and gold in their hands, but most people have a bunch of dry dog ​​food and a pack of yellow paper money. In fact, people can’t take anything with them when they leave, just like when they come.

The entire process of entering the coffin was surprisingly quiet, no one cried or shouted, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

I stood in the yard and took out a cigarette and lit it all the time. My emotions were a little confused. At the last moment, the old man used this method to remind me and make me think deeply.

Going south to fight, killing the boundless, there is a demon moon in the east, and the four directions are boundless...

I understand the meaning contained in this sentence, as long as I am in the rivers and lakes for a day, I will inevitably fight and kill, but I don't understand what it means that there is a demon moon in the east.

If Dongfang Yaoyue refers to the second uncle, then the disaster will be boundless... But even if there is no second uncle, would the disaster have a limit?
"Sanming, how did he die? Did you do it?" Brother Yu leaned over and asked in a low voice, and I shook my head slightly.

"No, the old man is really a man of God. He counts that today is his deadline, which is admirable!"

"Is it really that powerful?"

"It's just that powerful, maybe it doesn't matter if you take the medicine in advance." I'm not sure why the old man walked away so calmly in the end, but everything doesn't matter now.

I have a reason to get rid of him. If he is destined to suffer such a catastrophe, then he can only follow the law of heaven.

"Xiong Sanming, finally the old man made a fortune for you? What was the result?" Long Yifan asked in a low voice, wondering if she saw the old man pinching his fingers just now.

"The future is bright, and I don't have any worries about the future." I said every word firmly, my fate is up to me, and the fate will only be in my own hands!
"Really?"

"Otherwise? What should it be?"

After saying this, Long Yifan was dumbfounded. In the end, only the old man and I communicated face to face. No one will know everything, and I will not let the third person know!

The things the old man calculated are very mysterious, I must not let those words reach the second uncle's ears, it will cause a rift between each other... That's not what I want to see!
My second uncle has treated me wholeheartedly since I was a child, and he has helped me countless times. If he wanted to kill me, how could I survive to this day?
In the past, my second uncle used to say not to trust anyone, even him. At that time, I couldn't understand it, but now I finally understand!
This kind of not trusting anyone is not pure trust, but to have reservations about people close to you, the closer you are, the more so!

People can't show everything to others, let alone tell others their secrets without reservation, even if they have deep feelings, they still have to know how to avoid suspicion!

Some things have some words, don't easily believe that others will understand, let alone believe that others will not care...

For matters related to interests and feelings, the best way is to know yourself, sometimes frankness will pierce the window paper, and it will ruin everything!
The second uncle told me not to trust anyone. Now it seems that it is not only a means of self-protection, but also a means of protecting people around me!
If I told Uncle the result of the old man's calculation, I thought it would be all right, but there is no guarantee that there will be no suspicion, because people's hearts are unpredictable!
"Sanming, let's take one last look."

"it is good."

All the wrinkles of the old man lying in the coffin have been stretched out, and his appearance is very peaceful. At this moment, his impression has changed.

Some people will give people a kind of popularity when lying there. When there is no popularity, it is like an object. This feeling is not clear but can be felt clearly.

When a person loses his vitality, he will become what he is now, just a skin without a soul, and everything is blown away by the wind.

In a blink of an eye, the coffin was covered with a cover. The traditional custom is to make a conclusion after the coffin is closed. The merits and demerits of a person's life are all brought to an end at this moment.

"The auspicious time has come, let's raise the coffin!"

Seven or eight people went out carrying the coffin, I beckoned everyone to avoid it, it is an unwritten rule to give way to the dead in the rivers and lakes.

People can fight with them when they are alive, and when they are dead and want to go on the road, no matter who they are, they have to give way, which is regarded as respect and peace of mind.

There was light rain in the gloomy sky, the big black coffin was carried to the car, and a whole car of wax paper horses followed, not knowing where to be buried.

"Xiong Sanming, do you want to go to the crematorium together?" Long Yifan leaned over and asked, and I narrowed my eyes slightly.

"Cremation? Shouldn't it be buried directly in the ground?" Generally speaking, it is safe to bury in the ground, but anyone with some skills will be buried directly with the flesh.

"This is the old man's last wish, to bury only the ashes and not the body."

"Why? Is there any explanation?"

"Not very clear, the old man didn't explain."

"Does your Long family want to preside over the burial? What is the origin of the old man? How can you be so motivating?" I asked curiously. It is not an ordinary relationship to help with the burial without relatives or reasons.

"When I was very young, the old man calculated a catastrophe for me, solved the catastrophe and allowed me to survive, and he has been recognized as a godfather since then."

"So that's it, you guys go, I won't go." I waved my hand calmly, I have no reason to go together either because of relatives or not.

"Let's go." I turned my head to greet Brother Yu and Shadow to leave. The gloomy sky made people feel depressed. For some reason, the word compassion flashed in my heart.

The old man and I are neither related nor related, why did he calculate the last hexagram for me?It seemed to be a dead end, but he pointed out a way out for me...

Be Xiong Sanming, haven't I always been?Or is there some other deep meaning?
