Chapter 1369 End and Beginning 3
Erji's injuries were to his spine and nerves, and his entire lower body had no sensation at all. It was extremely difficult to treat him, not to mention the other accompanying illnesses.
In fact, given his injuries, it is a miracle that he can survive until now. This shows how much Madam Liu and Daji's family care about him.
Daji looked down at Erji lying on the bed and thought, maybe this is fate, a fate that cannot be escaped.
Manbao also turned his head to look at Erji lying on the bed, thinking that such an injury would not be difficult to heal in Koko's world, but it would be basically impossible to heal here.
So it is not that human power is limited, but that human time is limited. The world moves too slowly, many things cannot be manufactured, and much knowledge cannot be discovered in time, and people are gone.
But people are really amazing. Such diseases can be cured in the end.
Manbao's mind moved and he began to think, so what diseases will people in the future have that they cannot cure?
So much so that even the existence of Koko, who is so extraordinary, is kept secret.
Bai Shan also looked at Erji in deep thought. In fact, these things should not have happened from the beginning, but this world is too complicated.
Everyone has different interests. People with the same interests have different thoughts and ideas, let alone those with different interests?
That’s why there are so many setbacks and sufferings in this world.
Bai Shan did not feel discouraged, but instead felt a fighting spirit rising up. He looked at Erji with an increasingly resilient expression.
Bai Erlang didn't know about this until the afternoon. He found out when he woke up from his lunch break and ran to play with Bai Shan and Manbao. He hurried over to see them.
Seeing the three people sitting on the footstool in front of the bed, he was a little scared. He took several small steps and it took him a long time to get in front of the three people.
He didn't even dare to look at the person on the bed. He squinted his eyes at the shelf beside him and asked in a trembling voice, "You, are you okay?"
The three of them looked up at him together, and were speechless to see him so scared. It's not like they haven't seen dead people before. Didn't they see it when he was assassinated a few months ago?
Manbao sat next to Baishan and made room for him.
Bai Erlang didn't want to sit with his back to Erji, but since the three of them had no intention of changing seats, he could only move forward two steps. He wanted to sit but didn't dare.
Seeing him like this, Bai Shan simply stood up and grabbed him, took him two steps forward, and said with a sad face: "Come, say goodbye to Uncle Erji."
Bai Jilang, who was facing Erji’s pale face, said: …
Manbao even gave them some space.
Daji couldn't help but say, "Master, please don't scare the young master."
Bai Erlang bowed to Erji, and finally sat down next to Manbao with his back to the bed.
He was still a little trembling, sitting close to Manbao and asked, "Why are we sitting here?"
Manbao said, "My mother said that after death, a person cannot completely leave the body for a while. The ghost is always nearby. In order to prevent it from being lonely, someone must be by its side."
This was the first time Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had heard of such a thing. They couldn't help but look at Daji with suspicion, "Is it true?"
Daji nodded, that's why he wanted to stay in the room.
Manbao continued, "My mother said that this is also the reason for the funeral."
Bai Jilang's eyes darted around the room, and he swallowed and asked, "So, Erji's ghost is in the room now?"
Manbao nodded.
Bai Erlang was about to cry out loud.
Manbao and Baishan looked at him puzzledly, "What are you afraid of? Uncle Erji is not a bad person. He will only protect us."
But this is also a ghost.
Manbao is not afraid of Erji's ghost, and she also suspects that what her mother said is wrong, because Koko said that there are no ghosts here.
Bai Shan believed Qian's words directly, and looked around the room. He turned his head and said to Daji, "How about you chat with Uncle Erji?"
He felt that this should not be difficult because Uncle Zhou had been with Manbao for so many years after his death.
By the way, Uncle Erji should be meeting Uncle Zhou now, right?
Bai Shan's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her finger to poke Man Bao, looking at her with sparkling eyes.
For some reason, Manbao actually understood what he meant. She paused, then turned her head and looked straight ahead, ignoring him. She silently complained to Keke in her heart, "How am I going to explain to him in the future that I can't see ghosts?"
Koko suggested, "Just say you can only see your dad."
"Wouldn't that be deceiving him?"
"Then you'd better not say anything."
Manbao sighed, supporting his chin with his hand and started to stare blankly.
Bai Erlang couldn't help but ask, "Can't we really change places? Just stay in the same room. Maybe we can sit at the table and keep him company?"
Bai Shan was reluctant to move, "It's nice to sit here."
Daji didn't want to move either. He felt that this place was closer to Erji. He sighed softly and said, "I don't have much to say to him. It's a good thing that he left without any worries."
So he just had to sit quietly. Then the room became quiet, no one spoke, just stayed there quietly, no one knew what they were thinking.
Bai Erlang trembled to himself, then slowly calmed down and was not so scared anymore.
The main reason was that there was someone sitting next to him and nothing strange happened in the room. He looked back quietly, breathed a sigh of relief, and also looked forward with his chin supported.
The four of them stayed in the house until evening. Erji's body began to become stiff. Old Lady Liu asked someone to send him some lucky money. Daji didn't expect that the old lady would even prepare this for Erji.
He took it, pinched Erji's mouth open, took out a lucky coin and put it into his mouth.
Everyone helped to prepare for the burial. The coffin was closed but not sealed. They would put ice in it in two days and send it back to Longzhou. The family would probably come to take a look.
Although the coffin was not sealed, the mourning hall was still arranged.
Not only did Bai Shan and the other two pay their respects, but Old Lady Liu and Zheng also came to light a stick of incense. Among the servants, Erji was the first to do so.
Manbao went home, and Old Zhou and Qian, who had heard the news, came over the next day to burn some incense.
Most of Daji's relatives and friends are in Longzhou. Their family has been slaves of the Bai family for generations, and most of them still stay in the farm in Longzhou. Not many people here know Erji, only these few families.
Even Old Zhou and Mrs. Qian had only heard of him but had never seen him.
So Daji did not intend to stay here for too long. He kept the body for one day on the second day, and set off on the third day, which was the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Old Madam Liu did not let him go back alone, but asked the servants to collect two carts of things and send them back together.
She said to Liu Gui, "In the next one or two years, it will be more convenient to go back to Longzhou than to Mianzhou. Send these things back to the manor in Longzhou first. Once they are properly arranged, you can go to the capital."
Liu Gui bowed in response.
Madam Liu thought for a moment, then called Daji over and said, "I want to release you."
Daji went to see Mrs. Liu in surprise.
See you at 9pm
