Chapter 832 Miss, Are You Not Afraid?
The body had been sent to the crematorium, and Li Jinxing went to see her for the last time.
He used the money he had on him to buy a very beautiful dress, put it on his mother himself, and braided a beautiful braid for her hair and placed it on the side of her chest.
During these three days, the body was kept in the morgue, and the temperature in the room was set to low to prevent the body from rotting. When Li Jinxing changed the woman's clothes, her body was completely stiff and cold.
Li Jinxing also bought a bunch of chamomiles, which matched his mother's floral dress very well. He placed the flowers on her chest.
The flower language of chamomile is to grow in adversity and never bow to difficulties.
This is also what he wants to convey to his mother.
Li Jinxing stood in front of the incinerator, watching his mother's body being pushed in. The furnace door was closed, and after a while, a crackling sound came from inside.
The ten-year-old child was not afraid at all. He stared straight inside with his eyes. The depths of his pupils were pitch black, darker than the night and thicker than ink. At this moment, Li Jinxing seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
Li Jinxing did not shed tears. There was no point in shedding more tears, especially since his tears had dried up three days ago.
From now on he will not shed tears anymore.
It was a long hour, but Li Jinxing felt like a century had passed. The noise in the incinerator became quieter and quieter. What was finally brought out was bone residue mixed in with the ashes. There were obvious oil stains on the steel plates, and a strange smell spread in the air.
Li Jinxing held the urn and personally put the still warm ashes into the urn bit by bit. The wind was a bit strong today, and the tiny ashes in his hand were blown onto Li Jinxing's face, as if his mother was saying her final goodbye to him, hugging him and kissing him.
Li Jinxing didn't want to cry, he controlled himself, but he couldn't control the physiological redness, and his heart ached badly.
After finally packing the ashes, Li Jinxing hugged the urn and kissed it: "Mom, I'll take you away."
Li Jinxing carefully carried the urn out. As soon as he walked out of the crematorium, he saw two cars parked outside, as if they saw him coming.
Gu Wanqiu rolled down the car window, chewing a lollipop in her mouth.
"Is it over?"
"Um."
As soon as Li Jinxing spoke, Gu Wanqiu saw the urn in Li Jinxing's hand. After the body was cremated, the ashes should be buried.
Gu Wanqiu did not lie to Li Jinxing. She did find a good cemetery. As for Li Jinxing's father, he was burned to ashes. Unlike his mother, he was treated differently. There was no special urn for his ashes. Instead, they were swept into the trash bag.
Gu Wanqiu felt it was unlucky so she threw it in the trunk of another car.
Now seeing Li Jinxing coming over with an urn in her arms, she felt it was unlucky. She wanted to pretend that she cared about Li Jinxing, but the occasion was not right, and she was not in the mood to do so when she saw the urn.
He retracted his gaze and told Li Jinxing to sit in the car behind with the urn in his arms.
The cemetery is very close to here, so the urn was buried before the tombstone was carved.
Li Jinxing stood in front of the grave, his slender and frail figure looked as if it would be blown away by the wind.
Gu Wanqiu thought about paying to help Li Jinxing finish these things, but Li Jinxing said that he would save money to buy a tombstone and engrave the words, and he would also pay back the money for the cemetery.
"Miss, do you still mean what you said? Five hundred a day."
"Five hundred a day, but your food, clothing, and other necessities will be deducted from this."
Li Jinxing had no objection to this. He could eat less, save more money, and slowly pay off these "debts".
"I'll pay you back for the cemetery later."
"Aren't you going to hold a funeral?" Gu Wanqiu asked.
"No, my mother likes quietness, and no relatives will come to the funeral."
Gu Wanqiu knew the situation of Li Jinxing's family from the information found by Butler Wang. He really didn't have any relatives. If he really had relatives who cared about him, he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life over the years.
Gu Wanqiu took out a grape-flavored lollipop from her pocket: "Do you want some?"
Li Jinxing shook his head expressionlessly: "I don't like candy."
There are people who don’t even like sugar?
What Gu Wanqiu didn't know was that Li Jinxing also used to like eating sweets. Before his mother became paralyzed, she would buy him lollipops and ice cream. He even got a cavity from eating too much sweets, but fortunately, the cavity was replaced.
Even after the toothache, he still couldn't give up sweets until his mother became paralyzed. Later, he had difficulty even eating a full meal, so why did he want to eat sweets?
Eating candy brings happiness to people, but happiness is the most luxurious thing for Li Jinxing, and he cannot possess it. Since he cannot possess it, he should not be obsessed with it from the beginning.
Gu Wanqiu didn't eat it either, and put the lollipop back into her pocket. Only when eating candy would Gu Wanqiu show her childish side.
"What are you going to do with the bag of ashes in the trunk? I feel it's unlucky to keep it in the car."
That car was the one that had held Li Jinxing and had him vomit in the trunk. Gu Wanqiu thought it was dirty and wouldn't sit in it even if it was clean. Now the driver was using the multi-million dollar car to haul cargo and store ashes.
This is how rich people live. If they don’t want this car anymore, they can immediately replace it with a better one.
Li Jinxing replied to Gu Wanqiu: "Just like you said, throw it into the garbage dump to feed the dogs."
Gu Wanqiu imagined the scene, smiled, and nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's go to the largest garbage dump nearby."
Gu Wanqiu saw the garbage dump from afar while sitting in the car. It would be better to say it was a garbage dump than a garbage dump. It was her first time to come to such a place. Even with the car windows closed, she could still smell the stench.
Flies were flying everywhere, and there were many stray dogs wandering around the garbage dump looking for food. Occasionally, you could see wild cats running around very quickly.
The car stopped and Butler Wang sat in the passenger seat: "Miss, do you want to get out?"
Gu Wanqiu shook her head: "It must be very smelly outside, so I won't go down."
She sat in the car and watched Li Jinxing get out, open the trunk and take out the bone fragments in the garbage bag.
Among the wild dogs foraging in the garbage dump, some are timid and run away when they see people, while some brave dogs either bare their teeth at people or just wag their tails and stand there motionless.
Li Jinxing was not afraid of these dogs. He poured out the bone residue in the garbage bag. Some bones were not broken by the fire and still retained a relatively complete section, about as long as an adult's finger. It was covered with black ash and red marks.
Li Jinxing picked up the longer bone and threw it to the dogs. The wild dogs were scared and ran away. One dog came forward bravely and sniffed it, but when it didn't smell anything, it turned around and left.
Even dogs won’t eat it.
Li Jinxing lowered his head, looked at the bone fragments at his feet with a gloomy look, and then kicked them away, as if to vent his emotions.
Gu Wanqiu leaned on the car window, watching with great interest.
"Miss, aren't you afraid?"
