Chapter 47
Xin Dechang thought about it and felt that something seemed wrong, but since they were marrying a dead person, it was hard to say whether it was proper or not. No matter how much a living person did it, it was the living person's wish and had nothing to do with the dead.
After reading the list, Xin Dechang gave Su Yun a separate contact number, saying it was his private number and was highly confidential. If he held a funeral in the future, he should contact Xicheng Funeral Home, and asked Su Yun not to reject the call as a scam.
"That definitely won't happen. If you have any needs, just ask us. We will definitely provide you with the best service!" Su Yun patted his chest and guaranteed.
Whether it is a funeral or a wedding, the break time between the two banquets is the most difficult to endure, but you cannot leave. The host is either worshiping or bonding at home, and the guests have nothing to do except eating or taking a rest. They cannot sleep too long, otherwise it would be impolite.
Su Yun had prepared enough services, but everyone seemed to be reluctant to do this in a funeral home, so there was not much movement. At most, pregnant women or children who couldn't hold on any longer asked for a guest room to rest.
In fact, the environment around Xicheng Funeral Home is very good. If it were not a funeral home and was not close to a cemetery, but a resort, there might be a constant stream of guests.
The pit in the cemetery had been dug long ago, and the grave had been built. That was the location chosen by a master who specialized in Feng Shui, and the tomb was designed and built by the Wu family's own team. After all, they were the leader in the heavy industry, and they couldn't just rely on others.
The ceremony of sending the old man's ashes to the grave basically went through the normal burial procedures, including saying goodbye, burning incense, placing the urn, filling the grave with soil, sealing the grave, burning incense again to worship the heaven and earth, and finally saying goodbye.
Both cemeteries in Bincheng intend to ban smoking and firecrackers. They probably don't want to make too much noise, but for the sake of the Wu family's reputation, perhaps the necessary ceremonies will still be held.
The process is not long. You can come back around five or six in the afternoon. After the last meal, the funeral is over. It is different from the ancient times when the funeral would drag on for thirty to seven days. Modern people are not so particular.
The old man's funeral was relatively simple, because Aunt Wu's incident had made him disheartened, so it wasn't a big deal. However, with all those media outlets writing nonsense, even the smallest matter would end up being made to seem as big as to shock the whole city.
In the afternoon, the Wu family came back with sad faces. They put their family members into that small pit again. It would take a while for them to get out, but they were still calm and could handle the guests with ease.
The dinner party was much more lively. After all, the person had already been buried, and now it was a real social event of fame and fortune. Although everyone was related to each other, it did not mean that they had any business dealings with each other. The Wu family had finally set up this situation, so they must take advantage of it.
This kind of occasion has nothing to do with Su Yun. She is in the funeral industry and not the leader in Bincheng. Even if people are really planning to hold a funeral, they may not come to Su Yun, unless it is the kind of person who is not easy to see in public, such as Aunt Wu and Lu Anning's son.
There were too many people, and with Wu Yu, Lu, An Ning and others following, Su Yun did receive some business cards, phone calls and WeChat messages. They said they would contact him later, but he didn't know when that would happen.
The most difficult issue to avoid is Su Yun's identity and disappearance. Many people said that the Su family had always claimed that Su Yun was missing, and she had indeed disappeared for four years before suddenly reappearing. As soon as she appeared, she went to Qingyun Villa in a high-profile manner, and even sent the Su family's legitimate eldest daughter abroad. Who wouldn't say that this is awesome?
Su Yun replied all night long. She felt like she was about to vomit after saying such a simple sentence. She said it so many times that she almost believed it herself.
I don't know how many people he responded to. When Su Yun was perfunctorily dismissing another person who came to gossip, he just lowered his head to drink water when he heard someone in front of him ask: "You said you disappeared for four years because you found your biological parents, so where are your parents?"
Hearing this, Su Yun looked up and found that it was Su Lin. That's right, the Su family and the Wu family actually have a very good relationship, otherwise Su Yun would not have been so close to Wu Yu when he was a child. Later, when his identity was exposed, that idiot Wu Yu unilaterally broke off relations with Su Yun.
Faced with a brother like Su Lin who inherited the family business and is a little older, the younger generations act like quails, just like they are facing an elder who is one generation older than them.
Wu Yu next to him wanted to answer for Su Yun, but was stopped by Su Lin's eyes. Even after what happened to Su Yun, Su Lin still had prestige in the second-generation circle.
Su Yun didn't care who asked him the question, because it was the same answer anyway, so he said, "My parents handed the funeral home to me and went on their honeymoon. You can imagine that I was 'taken away by mistake'. You can imagine how much time my parents spent looking for me. They were obviously a loving couple, but they could only wait until their daughter inherited the family business before they had time to go on a honeymoon."
Su Yun emphasized the word "wrongly embraced", as if he was not talking about the wrong embrace, but about the Su family stealing the child.
Seeing Su Yun bring up this matter again, Su Lin was choked by her and changed the question: "Then how did you meet your parents? You had been away from the Su family for two years, and you said you wanted to find your parents after graduation. How did you find them right away?"
Su Yun looked at him subtly, and after a while he asked, "Do you want to know this question yourself, or did someone ask you to ask it specifically?"
Considering that Su Yun had been constantly causing trouble before, everyone present thought that Su Yun had asked her brother to gather information again. In fact, Su Yun was asking Master Ziyuan. Yu Ming had already told him everything, and Master Ziyuan must have sensed something.
The ones that puzzled Ziyuan Jushi the most should be Su Yiling and Ji Weitang. These two people seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, suddenly protected Su Yun, suddenly gave Su Yun a second life, and then quickly left Bincheng. They were like... a plug-in that God left for Su Yun so that she would not die completely.
According to the time when Yu Ming told the truth he knew, the only family he could contact temporarily was probably the Su family. As the funeral was coming to an end today, Su Lin came and asked questions that were somewhat different from those of the others.
In fact, Su Lin was not the only one who asked this question. Su Yun felt that it might be because Master Ziyuan contacted several families in one night. The people who asked her similar questions just now were actually not familiar to her, but for various reasons, they were all invited by the Wu family.
When other people asked, Su Yun answered casually. They were all answers that were neither true nor false, and it would not matter who they told them to when they got back. But he had to be careful when speaking to Su Lin, because they might be more deeply involved with Master Ziyuan.
It is troublesome to deal with someone like Ziyuan Jushi who is good at fortune-telling. Whatever you do, it is easy for him to figure out the specific purpose and the truth of it. The best way is to do as Su Yiling and Ji Weitong did, not show up, not make a sound, and pretend that you know nothing.
Su Lin paused for a moment and answered casually, "Just ask yourself. Why? Can't you tell me?"
"It's not that I can't tell you, but I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, you will go back and complain to Su Yun and say bad things about me. After all, she is very unbalanced about my appearance. She always feels that I have robbed her of her life, so she is against me. But in fact, you know in your hearts that I am the most innocent one." Su Yun said meaningfully.
"Yes, you were indeed taken away by mistake, but you also enjoyed all our family's resources. Otherwise, could you have hosted the funeral of old man from the Wu family?" Su Lin became impolite immediately when he saw Su Yun's sarcasm. From his point of view, since Su Yun enjoyed the wealthy life of the Su family, she should be grateful to the Su family, even if she was taken away on purpose.
This made people feel uncomfortable. Wu Yu beside him said quickly: "Brother Su, what you said is wrong. No matter what, you took Su Yun away by mistake. Besides, Su Yun's family is not bad. Whether she was taken away or not, her life will not be bad."
Since they stayed in the funeral home from time to time during this period, Wu Yu and the others did not feel any inconvenience. This shows that Su Yun's current living standard is actually similar to theirs. According to this standard, if she had not gone to the Su family, she might have lived a better life. Why did the Su family keep using the issue of educational resources to kidnap Su Yun?
Su Lin glanced at Wu Yu. Last time, Wu Jin talked to him about Su Yun cheating Wu Yu and even produced evidence. Afterwards, Su Lin called Su Yun and found that Su Yun was crying and said that it was not her intention. She was just asking whether Su Yun had been to Qingyun Villa and bought anything. It was Wu Yu who took the initiative to pay for a Bodhi seed for her and her little sisters.
Su Lin was originally skeptical, but after Su Yun said that, he felt that what Wu Jin said was true. If Su Yun really didn't actively lie to Wu Yu, then she could have just refused to accept it. After all, the Su family didn't need the money. But she accepted it anyway. Isn't she still not convinced?
Over the years, Su Yun has never been convinced. She was not happy living in that ordinary family. Even though the Su family told the couple to treat her well, she was not their biological daughter after all. The most important thing was that no matter how much she cared, without money, there was no money.
It would be fine if Su Yun was a grateful and non-vain person, but she made friends with a bunch of bad people and was laughed at in school. She became more and more extreme. If a person does not insist on himself, it is really difficult not to be influenced by the environment. And those sisters who urged her to ask Wu Yu for Bodhi seeds are the reasons why she has become what she is now.
Things have already happened, Su Lin can't just ignore it. After all, she is his sister, can he not give her face in public?
But now seeing that Su Yun is still doing well, Su Lin suddenly understood where Su Yun's disobedience came from. Such a person seems to be able to stand up again wherever he falls. How can people not be jealous?
She was jealous that she could live a good life no matter what the situation was, and she also hated that Su Yun could ignore something that was very important to her.
Su Yun had no intention of letting Wu Yu speak up for him, so he said, "No matter who asks you to ask, just go back and tell him. If you want to know something, just come over. Don't hide behind others like a rat crossing the street. If you don't have the courage, don't show up."
The others didn't understand why Su Yun had such a bad attitude towards Su Lin, but when they heard her words, they felt something was wrong - it seemed like Su Lin was asking the question under orders, and it wasn't something they wanted to ask.
Aren't Su Lin's parents the ones who can be called upon? Why are they asking Su Yun these questions?
Everyone seemed to smell the scent of the melon, but couldn't find the specific melon. It was like the melon was right in front of their mouths but they couldn't eat it, and they were very anxious.
Su Lin looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very upset. He didn't know how Su Yun guessed it, but he was sure that he was not the kind of person who would ask such a question. It was his parents who asked him to come. Now that Su Yun said this, it was as if he knew their purpose in advance and rejected them in advance.
"No one asked me to come. If you don't want to say it, then forget it. It's just that our Su family can't afford you." Su Lin said this and turned away. He returned to the Su couple, looking as if he was pissed off by Su Yun.
The remaining second generation who had not yet inherited the family business looked at each other in bewilderment. Lu Anning asked Su Yun nervously, "Su Yun, you won't offend him, will you? If you offend the Su family, people will have to think twice before doing business with you again."
This is not nonsense. Lu Anning knows the current influence of the Su family. Some wealthy circles centered on the Su family must have excluded Su Yun and Xicheng Funeral Home. Even with the protection of the Wu family, only people from the Wu family's circle can come, which means that a part of Bincheng's cake is missing.
Su Yun didn't care: "It doesn't matter. Look at how many orders I have today. This time when I came to the old man's position, there were only three orders in total. It doesn't matter if there is business or not. I don't make a living by attending funerals."
The main source of money is still from those messy projects, but most of the people who come to her are Su Yiling and Ji Weitang. She is not well-known and has just emerged, so of course no one comes to her, making her look very poor now.
Since Su Yun has this attitude, everyone can only let it go. Although they are still worried that Su Yun will starve to death, Su Yun has been a man with his own ideas since he was a child. Maybe he has other ideas?
The dinner did not last long, and the funeral home was far away, so people started to leave after eight or nine o'clock in the evening. The Wu family had to stand up and see them off again and again. From the time they came back to the time they saw them off, they had no chance to rest, nor could they burn more incense at the old man's tablet. It was the ghost employees who helped to keep the incense burning.
There were still a few families who wanted to stay in the evening and go back to the city with the Wu family tomorrow. They were all good relatives. The Lu family also stayed with them. Yi Fangjin wanted to stay, but her parents still remembered the face reading by Su Yun and did not dare to let their daughter stay. Last time they had to wait for five years. Who knows if they would have to wait for another night, would it become ten years?
There were still quite a few guests left. The guest rooms had been prepared long ago. Those who couldn't hold out any longer had gone to rest. The Wu family couldn't sleep, so they borrowed Su Yun's yard to hold a tea party. This evening tea was considered a reserved item at the West City Funeral Home. Only some young people and middle-aged people who couldn't sleep came to drink it, mainly to reminisce about the past.
As they talked, they inevitably talked about the glorious days when the old man was still alive and the dispute with his youngest daughter. All kinds of rumors have been circulating over the years, and almost all of them are false. The only true thing is that the old man wanted to force Aunt Wu to get married but failed.
Now that the old man and Aunt Wu have passed away, the truth has been hidden and will no longer be told to others to avoid being used as a topic of conversation after dinner.
This kind of day is like a place for middle-aged people to vent their emotions. A group of uncles, aunts and sisters chat until late at night and are still not satisfied. Only modern young people can accompany them, even all night long.
Su Yun had been up for two nights. In fact, she was so sleepy that she could fall asleep as soon as she lay down. However, she was the director and could not leave. She had to stay with the museum. She stayed with the museum until after three in the morning. After everyone finally dispersed, she still had to arrange tomorrow's affairs.
After the employees had cleaned up the yard and the banquet hall, Su Yun carefully checked the ceremony hall where the old man's tablet was enshrined, lit a new stick of incense that could burn all night, and asked the cook to change the offerings before going to rest.
The next day I only slept until six o'clock. This biological clock is very powerful once it adapts, and I couldn't fall asleep even if I wanted to.
When Su Yun got up, he found that many grandparents were already up. They were drinking tea and taking a walk in the yard. The ghost and the ghost bride were very nice to them and made them laugh all the time.
Seeing Su Yun getting up and walking over, the grandparents were very shocked, because young people nowadays will not get up until noon, and Su Yun went to bed so late last night, but he could get up as early as the old people today, which is really not like a young person.
"I'm used to getting up at this time. Even if I didn't sleep much the night before, I can still get up at this time." Su Yun explained with a smile and drank a cup of tea.
The tea the old people drank was very strong. After one sip, they would wake up no matter how sleepy they were. The bitterness spread from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and their whole body felt refreshed.
Su Yun put down the teacup, his face twisted: "Hiss - this tea is really refreshing."
This sigh made everyone laugh, and the yard was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while. Soon an old lady changed the scented tea for Su Yun, and it tasted much better. It was indeed the ladies' exquisiteness.
Breakfast and snacks are available all day at the funeral home. The cook loves to cook and has been quite happy these two days. He even delivered so much that guests can take it away.
This morning's breakfast and snacks were freshly made and still hot. Su Yun ate a few sweet things to replenish his energy and became lively again.
After playing in the funeral home for a long time, the elderly were so happy that they didn't want to leave. It was mainly because it was rare to get so many people together. Everyone was chatting happily. Don't the elderly like to be lively? It would be best if there were obedient and sensible younger generations to accompany them.
When it was time to leave, many people stood at the door of the funeral home to say goodbye, and they didn’t know when they would be able to get together again.
The last member of the Wu family to leave expressed their gratitude to Su Yun and booked a time to come on the seventh day. They had to go to pay their respects once more on the seventh day and the journey was long, about the same as Aunt Wu's time. So they came early to stay for one night and then went to the cemetery to pay their respects to the old man. They also ordered a meeting service on the seventh day.
The money was in place, and Su Yun had no objection. Originally, this was a project of the funeral home, but many people might not want to see the deceased again, so gradually fewer people bought it. Since the Wu family had this intention, of course Su Yun had to agree.
After seeing off the Wu family, the Xicheng Funeral Home fell completely quiet. Yesterday's bustle seemed like a dream. When they woke up, the place was still barren and desolate, and no one was willing to visit.
Su Yun returned to the yard, which had already been cleaned up and filled with her usual tea set and snacks. The recliner was still the one she usually slept on.
After two sleepless nights, Su Yun felt like a floating soul floating on the recliner. As soon as he closed his eyes, he didn't know what day it was.
The movement of the ghost employees did not affect Su Yun. She slept soundly in the yard. She woke up when she heard the call of turtledoves when the sun went down in the evening. She opened her eyes and saw the orange and golden sunset. She thought it was morning.
"Ah, how come it's morning again? Life really doesn't go by so fast..." Su Yun stared and muttered on the recliner. He wanted to turn over and take a nap, but he saw the enlarged faces of the sexy ghost and the ghost bride. "Damn it, what are you doing? You're scaring me to death!"
"Director, it's six o'clock in the afternoon. We came to call you for dinner, but you looked like you were about to wake up." The ghost bride replied in a low voice.
One of them was squatting below, and the other was leaning on the other's back. The two heads overlapped together, which scared Su Yun so much that he almost thought he had encountered a two-headed ghost.
Su Yun patted his heart and said, "You guys just called me to eat, why are you stacking them together? You're so old, are you still playing cat and mouse?"
The ghost explained: "This position is more comfortable. Director, why did you sleep so long? Normally, wouldn't it be fine for you to sleep for a day or two?"
Although staying up late is bad for the body, Su Yun's body is carefully crafted and its parts are not easily broken. He usually has a normal schedule and there will be no problem as long as he recuperates after one or two occasions. But he suddenly slept for so long that he almost forgot to eat, which really shocked them.
Su Yun sat up and rubbed his head. "How can work be compared to staying up late to play games? Work is very exhausting, not to mention that we work around the clock. Next time, we should take fewer orders, so as not to die suddenly at a young age."
This must be a joke. There is no such thing as too little work in the funeral industry. When someone dies, they have to be buried. Once someone has sent their body to the funeral, you can't just ignore it.
After a day of eating a lot of meat and fish, the chef cooked Cantonese cuisine in the evening. The main focus was on light and greasy food. Even the soup was changed to pork ribs and bitter melon soup. You would lose half a pound of oil in one sip. However, the chef’s cooking skills were good, and the dish tasted bitter but fragrant, which was quite intoxicating.
After dinner, Su Yun felt sleepy again. Before the cook brought her snacks for evening tea, she fell asleep on the recliner again.
Several employees grumbled.
The ghost was eating melon seeds: "It seems that the curator really doesn't like working. You see, she doesn't even care about the delicious food now. She just wants to sleep."
The ghost bride was eating spiced peanuts and said with a clatter, "But aren't young people all curly these days? I saw many people online describe the curly queen as someone like the curly director, so why isn't she curly?"
The ghost Ah Xiu was drinking tea to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth. He had eaten too much bitter melon tonight, and now the bitterness was coming up: "Could it be that I curled up too much before, and now I want to lie down more?"
Lin Lang couldn't understand their confusion: "Doesn't the curator sleep every day? How do you know she is tired?"
"The director only sleeps when she has nothing to do. She never sleeps at fixed times. For example, she has to get up at six in the morning, have lunch at noon, and have dinner at six in the evening. She doesn't lie down after dinner to avoid sleeping at night. That's why the funeral home always has evening tea. She doesn't even drink it now. Of course, she is tired." The ghost bride counted on her fingers one by one.
Lin Lang thought about it and found that this seemed to be the case. He had been here for quite some time and had not paid much attention to it. But now he discovered that Su Yun would not lie down during the period from dinner to bedtime, and would only sleep during the day.
Now she lies down right after dinner, maybe work is really hard for her.
Su Yun was in a daze for a short while before she woke up again. This was mainly because her biological clock did not allow her to wake up at this time, and she was thinking about taking a shower, so she woke up.
When she woke up and saw the employees quietly doing their own things, she felt inexplicably warm. This was her ideal life. She could wake up at night and look at the stars in the quiet summer night without anyone disturbing her.
At first, she set her goal in the cemetery and wanted to be a lonely gravekeeper. She even went to a cemetery in the mountains because she thought it was quieter and undisturbed. Now it's not bad in the funeral home. The employees won't disturb her when she sleeps, and the living conditions are much better than those in the cemetery in the mountains.
Yan Gui was the first to notice that Su Yun was awake, so she poured her some water: "Director, are you awake? Drink some water and don't sleep anymore. If you sleep any longer, you won't be able to sleep at night."
Having a drink of boiled water after waking up is the second happiest thing in the world - the first happiest thing is eating - Su Yun finally woke up after drinking the slightly cool water. She looked at her employees' faces one by one and always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.
After thinking for a while, he finally remembered when his eyes turned to Lin Lang's face and exclaimed: "Ah! I forgot to tell the Wu family about Yu Ming!"
There were too many things to do, and Su Yun couldn't find an opportunity. After lunch, everyone had to leave. Others kindly invited them to go back to the city with the Wu family, but they couldn't stay, so they agreed with Su Yun that they would go back for a day and take care of the company's affairs. After so many days, the backlog of things was almost taller than the people.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, it is not convenient to bring Lin Lang with him. He can only pay more attention to safety and contact Su Yun if there are any problems.
Su Yun was sleepy again, so he forgot to tell them. Now they were probably still awake, so Su Yun quickly sent a message to Wu Jin, saying that Yu Ming had been captured by her and sent to Jingling Gate, and he would not have a chance to come out again.
There was no immediate reply from the other end, probably he was still working overtime, but Su Yun was not in a hurry. She slept for the whole afternoon and was quite energetic in the evening.
Now that Su Yun is awake, everyone can make sounds and they are discussing whether or not to watch a movie or TV series. Usually they just play their own games, but tonight, perhaps because they are feeling uneasy after all the fun, they want to play together.
After much deliberation, I finally decided to watch a horror movie and prepare to criticize it.
Su Yun also watched it. It was an older Chinese horror film, about a village where people started dying inexplicably at first, and everyone thought they were sick or had some kind of accident. But later on, they realized something was not right. More and more people died, and the deaths were horrific, so people started running away.
As a result, not many people ran away. They found that as long as they ran out, the bodies would appear in their homes the next day. No one dared to run away. Then they thought about what to do. They couldn't be caught so easily. They had to think of a solution to such a wrong thing, right?
So after investigation by several brave (brain-dead) young men, they found out that this was related to a case that happened a long time ago. It was probably during the more chaotic times in the past when the children in the village did not study and became hooligans, robbing houses everywhere under the guise of others. From a modern perspective, they should all be sent to the police station.
One day, those kids broke into a landlord's house and beat the landlord's child to death. They also pushed the landlord's entire family out to sweep the snow in the icy snow. Later, the old man froze to death, and the younger ones had their hands and feet frozen off.
This is not the end. Even after losing their hands and feet, they still needed to eat, so they went begging. However, after a few days, the landlord's family died, and the villagers seemed to have never seen this family. Everyone continued to live their own lives until the story began, when the villagers gradually died, and some even died in strange ways.
The brave protagonist finally knows what happened, but there is still one part missing – how did the landlord disappear when he was begging?
No matter how he asked, he got no answer. The protagonist watched the villagers die one by one, and his own family was about to die, but he still couldn't think of a solution. The movie became more and more tense as time went on.
At the end of the story, the villagers returned to their normal lives, and the brave protagonist's family seemed to have disappeared. It is hard to say whether they had violated the taboo of death or someone came back for revenge. In any case, the people who were not dead in the village continued to live their lives by pretending to be deaf and dumb, just like they did many years ago.
Looking at this strange story, everyone was confused and felt like they didn’t understand anything.
The ghost put down her melon seeds and said, "This story is so weird. It has no beginning or end. It doesn't even explain what's going on."
Su Yun searched the Internet for ratings and explanations and summarized them: "Oh, it was deleted. The deleted part is the truth. In fact, the landlord's family met those children again when they were begging, and they were doused with ice water and frozen to death in the mountains. They can go to the mountains to appreciate the ice sculptures all winter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole yard fell silent. It was just as the ending song of a movie had finished playing, so there was no sound at all.
A few children not only killed and maimed a family, but also poured ice water on the disabled person to death and made ice sculptures out of him and froze them on the mountain.
How desperate must the landlord's family be when they struggle on the ground like maggots after losing their limbs and unable to escape? Will they hate themselves for not killing them in one go? Instead, they have to suffer such torture now?
"So, at the end of the story, do they come back for revenge?" the ghost bride asked expectantly.
Su Yun pulled back the explanation and said, "Yes, in fact, the villagers knew about their death, but because they were landlords, no one cared about their death, so they just ignored them. Later, when spring came, they were eaten clean by wild beasts in the mountains. The resentment was still there, and the brave protagonist accidentally dug up the landlord's bones when he went up the mountain one day, and kicked them, so he began to take revenge on the villagers."
But the ending of the story is quite ironic. The villagers turned a blind eye to the children killing the landlord's family. Then the brave protagonist attracted the ghosts. The ghosts killed many people for revenge, and the living people still turned a blind eye. How similar is this scene to the past?
It is full of humor and irony, and almost reflects human nature to the fullest.
From this perspective, even if the ghost comes for revenge, the audience will still feel uncomfortable, because the life of the village goes on, all the protagonists are dead, and those who are watching coldly are still watching coldly. The death of so many people has no effect on them. As long as they are not killed, they will not react at all, and even think that the brave protagonist is annoying.
The weird story made people angry, and the ghost employees immediately discussed changing to a more fun movie. This kind of movie is simply a revenge on society.
It was at this time that Su Yun received a reply from Wu Jin.
[Wu Jin: Already caught? Su Yun, how did you do it? Are you not injured?]
[AAA Xicheng Funeral Home Director: No, I didn't fight him. He was mainly trapped by the funeral home's formation. Then didn't I call the people from Jingling Sect? I sent him back. What happens to him afterwards depends on how Jingling Sect contacts the country and sentences him. Our country has strict control over this matter. After all, it is not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the country.]
[Wu Jin: I'm glad you're okay. Can we come and go freely now? ]
Because of Yu Ming's threats these days, the Wu family has been very cautious. They always feel that Yu Ming's Taoist magic is hard to defend against. Now, even after hearing Su Yun say that the person has been caught, they are not completely relieved.
[Director of AAA Xicheng Funeral Home: Yes, no problem. Yu Ming is just crazy and killing people because he is old. Now that the state is controlling him, he can’t come out and cause trouble. Don’t worry.]
Wu Jin expressed his gratitude to Su Yun again, saying that he could never repay him and that he should always ask for help in the future.
Su Yun naturally said no, as she had already accepted the order from Jingling Sect, so she was doing both jobs at the same time.
The situation did not recover for a while. After a while, Wu's father sent a message to Su Yun, first expressing his gratitude, and then asking if he could write a letter to Jingling Sect. He had some things he wanted to clarify with Yu Ming.
It goes without saying that Mr. Wu, such an upright man, must want to explain to Yu Ming that he did not deliberately frame him back then and it was indeed an accident.
Even though Su Yun had already told Yu Ming about this matter, Wu's father still wanted to prove his innocence. They did not deliberately target Yu Ming, and the revenge was completely unprovoked.
[AAA Xicheng Funeral Home Director: No need, uncle? I've already told him, and he also said that he just can't stand people trying to drag down people he doesn't like before a disaster. Why should I say more to him? ]
However, Wu's father replied that when a man is about to die, he should let Yu Ming die with a little peace of mind, for he could not escape his sin, and as a former friend, even if it was very difficult, he wanted Yu Ming to have a sense of having let go of something, and advised him not to be so stubborn in his next life.
After seeing this answer, Su Yun thought about it and felt that Wu's father was sad because two family members had passed away in succession, and perhaps he was feeling a little grief-stricken. So he sent him the address and said that Jinglingmen used this postal parcel, which was in the mountains, and only the postal parcels at the foot of the mountain could deliver express and letters, and he was uncertain when they would arrive.
Father Wu didn't care. After thanking Su Yun, he hurried to write a letter, fearing that he would not be able to make it in time for Yu Ming's execution.
Three days later Che Xuming brought the promised reward - a mature ginseng that grew in the Jingling forbidden area. It was just one step away from becoming a spirit. It was best to pick it now. After another sixty years, the ginseng would be alive, and by then it would taste like eating a human being.
Su Yun was a little speechless when he saw the ginseng: "It only has 60 years left to become a spirit. Even if you pull it out and leave it with me, it will still become a spirit after 60 years. In 60 years, when I am old and need ginseng to nourish myself, it will come back to life. How can I eat it? Do I have to take care of it like a grandson?"
Che Xuming looked innocent: "Don't you want good quality ones? My master specially went to the forbidden area to pick them. This one is the oldest and looks beautiful. At most, you can eat it earlier. In the future, even if it becomes a spirit, I will pluck some whiskers for you. The effect will be better than eating it now, so it's worth it."
It's not a loss, it's just that eating living things always feels like eating people. No wonder they said that spirits are not allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's really not right.
Su Yun looked at it again and again, and finally accepted it. He asked the beautiful ghost to send it to the warehouse and put it together with other spiritual creatures that might have survived.
After the ghost left, Che Xuming took a sip of tea and suddenly said, "Someone from above has calculated. They are from the Taoist Association and the special police department. After learning about what Yu Ming had done over the years, they took him to a nearby prison and are now calculating how many people died."
Hearing this, Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then said: "So, Yu Ming is no longer in Jingling Sect?"
"Yes, I calculated that the person in charge of the Wu family wanted to send a letter to him, and someone in the sect would deliver it to Yu Ming. Remember to let that person know without worry. However, no matter what the content of the letter is, it probably won't change Yu Ming's mind. After all, his thinking has been fixed." Che Xuming shook his head helplessly.
As a master of fortune-telling, Che Xuming obviously believes in fate more than Ziyuan Jushi. Perhaps it is because of the good teachings of Jingling Sect, he does not have such a crazy aura. Except for always showing off his wife, there is nothing wrong with him.
Su Yun nodded slightly, indicating that he understood: "Okay, I'll talk to Uncle Wu later. By the way, how long will it take to complete the settlement?"
Che Xuming counted on his fingers and said, "For a major case like this, which can be considered a serial murder case, the action will definitely be quick, and the death penalty will not be delayed, maybe a week."
As a result, three days later, Su Yun received a message from Che Xuming saying that the verdict had come down. The number of people was actually investigated based on Yu Ming's surrender. There was no doubt after the comparison. In addition, the number of people was too large, and the country did not dare to keep such a high-level criminal for too long, so they directly issued a death sentence.
The normal process is actually not that fast, mainly because we are worried that Yu Ming will use Taoist magic to escape. This kind of thing has happened before. Many people suddenly regretted their decision at the last moment and were afraid of death, so they used forbidden magic to escape. They didn't want to die even if it meant losing half their lives, so they didn't delay it if possible. They decided to do it quickly while Yu Ming had a good attitude and didn't want to escape.
The day after the verdict came down, Wu's father's letter was sent by the disciples of Jingling Sect to a prison that specifically held criminals like Yu Ming. It was said that after reading the letter, Yu Ming sneered, called Wu's father a hypocrite, and asked the guards to burn the letter without saying another word.
On the last day estimated by Che Xuming, Yu Ming died and his body was cremated on the spot without being kept for even a minute longer, as if any more time would result in variables.
Next, it was late June, the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The weather was like a child's face. It rained at any time. There was news about the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination everywhere, and it rained all the time. It just so happened that there was quite a lot of rain this year.
Su Yun was also in a bad mood because of the rain. Because she couldn't go to the yard to bask in the sun, she could only stay in the office or room and grow mushrooms. At this time, she felt that the work was good. At least one or two customers would come to keep her moving, otherwise she would really grow mushrooms.
Just at this time, Xin Dechang called. His attitude was a little reserved, not as generous as he was at the funeral of the old man of the Wu family. It seemed that he was a little ashamed of his request.
"Yunyun, do you still remember Grandpa Xin? Grandpa Xin wants to... place an order for you, is that right? Oh yes, and I can pay more!" Xin Dechang asked cautiously.
