Chapter 350 Gu Wenyu's Funeral (Part 2)
In fact, Gu Qinye couldn’t remember what happened later that day.
He only remembered that on the train back to China, Su Zimai's eyes were red, she lowered her head, and she was in a daze for a very long time. Her face was pale, and her eyes, which had just been lowered, were soon covered by the mist that welled up in her eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly reacted, slowly raised her head and looked at him angrily.
For a long time, she beat and scolded him almost unreasonably, like a hysterical little lunatic.
But later, Su Zimai lay in his arms again, hugged him and cried for a long time.
The light and shadow in the carriage flickered, as if in a drunken dream. The girl was crying silently, and the young man was staring out the window in a daze with empty eyes.
They also hope that this is just a dream.
How wonderful would it be if this was just a dream?
But at that time, Gu Qinye had no strength left. He couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. He just sat there quietly, raising his hand to touch Su Zimai's hair.
When Gu Qiye came back to his senses from his memory, the sun was about to set. Dusk enveloped the hillside, and the faint red glow illuminated Gu Qiye's lost face.
He looked up and saw that the funeral was still going on, or rather, it had not even begun yet.
Gu Wenyu's body had long since perished in the fire on the uninhabited island. The coffin was now empty. On the simple altar stood Gu Wenyu's tombstone.
A wreath of white flowers surrounded the tombstone.
It was a funeral that was so simple that it was almost ridiculous. There was no carefully prepared eulogy, no luxurious decorations, only people gathered together in silence.
After all, everything happened too hastily and too suddenly. No one could have anticipated this sudden death, and they didn't have time to spend too much time thinking about the funeral.
Another reason is that the members of this family are now either internationally wanted criminals, or being targeted by the Salvation Society, or both. They are internationally wanted criminals targeted by the Salvation Society, so they have to keep a low profile, otherwise they will easily get into trouble. How can they have the time to hire professionals to preside over the funeral?
But the main reason is that everyone here knows that Gu Wenyu would not like such a formal and solemn funeral.
Therefore, every arrangement of the funeral was very casual, like a big makeshift troupe.
This guy was careless when he was alive, and he was probably careless even after his death.
If he were standing here, he would definitely say, "Hey, funerals are like this, just be perfunctory about it. After all, the dead can't jump out of the coffin and kick you in the butt." Thinking of this, for some reason Gu Qiye suddenly chuckled twice.
He could even imagine the tone of his brother's voice when he said this. That was the funniest thing.
After a moment, Gu Qiye looked away from the tombstone and raised his eyes to look at Su Zimai who was standing under the banyan tree in the distance.
As if she noticed his gaze, she slowly raised her head, looked at him silently, and quickly looked away.
Su Zimai seemed to have not forgiven him yet, and also seemed to have not forgiven herself.
She had locked herself in her room for the past two days, huddled against the wardrobe with her knees hugged, not saying a word. She also didn't eat anything when Gu Qiye brought her food.
At this moment, the two people's eyes met. There was no blame or resentment in Su Zimai's eyes, just emptiness.
"Xiaomai, let's go over there. Your brother is waiting for you." Ke Qirui walked over, put his hand on Su Zimai's shoulder, and brought her to Gu Qinye's side.
On the other side, Su Wei adjusted his glasses, walked to Gu Zhuoan's side with an expressionless face, stretched out a withered hand, and silently pushed Gu Zhuoan's shoulder forward.
Several people in the family came to the ridiculous empty coffin. Gu Zhuoan hung his head, his face gloomy and dark.
A ruler flew out of Su Wei's sleeve. The ruler slowly grew larger, like a shovel, and dug a large hole in front of the tombstone.
Then he flew to the inside of the empty coffin and put it into the pit.
The ruler was rolling up the sand and was about to bury it in the hole when Gu Qiye suddenly reached out and stopped Grandpa. Then, under Su Wei's puzzled gaze, he squatted down, slowly scooped up a handful of soil from the ground, and poured it onto the coffin.
In the dead silence, quicksand and clods of earth hit the coffin lid with a loud noise, and the sound echoed in the cemetery.
Su Zimai stood behind Gu Qinye, looking at his back silently. He carefully and attentively picked up the soil from the ground and put it into the pit piece by piece.
"Revenge has been taken...but the debt has not been repaid yet." Su Wei said hoarsely with his hands behind his back.
"Father-in-law, we have to find the people from the Salvation Society." Gu Zhuoan said in a deep voice, his voice trembling with restraint.
"No, Wenyu hopes that we can live a good life." Gu Qiye said, "Let's stop here, Dad, Grandpa, don't be so stubborn."
Without even turning his head, he lowered his voice and said, "Will you be happy if this family loses more people just for revenge? Will Mom be happy? If she knew... Wenyu died there for her."
Gu Zhuoan and Su Wei were both silent, and neither of them had anything to say.
But although Gu Zhuoan remained silent, his fists were still clenched tightly, his body was as hard as a piece of iron, and the scarlet in the depths of his pupils could not be wiped away.
Su Wei put one hand behind her back and raised the other hand, gently patting Gu Zhuoan's shoulder.
Su Zimai quickly and silently squatted down, accompanying Gu Qiye to sprinkle soil into the pit. After a while, the outline of the coffin became increasingly blurred, and the soil covered most of the coffin board.
"What the hell are we doing?" she whispered. "Brother's body isn't even here, and we're burying an empty coffin."
She hadn't spoken for two days, and the words that came out of her throat were a little hoarse.
"I don't know." Gu Qiye shook his head. "If Wenyu were still alive, he would definitely laugh at us and call us idiots."
The two of them raised their heads and looked at each other, chuckled softly, and then Su Zimai's eyes suddenly turned red.
As she dug her fingers into the dirt and grasped a handful of sand, she said, "I really want him to suddenly jump out of the coffin right now, call us idiots, make fun of us, say he's not dead at all, and he was just tricking us."
Gu Qinye was silent for a moment, "Maybe." After that, he sprinkled another handful of soil into the pit.
Soon after, the coffin was completely buried in a thick layer of sand. At this time, Lin Yilong came over and placed a white wild chrysanthemum in front of Gu Wenyu's tombstone.
In fact, Lin Yilong also came here for his brother. Lin Zhengquan was also buried here. Now, only the Hulie territory was safe. If they wanted to visit the tombstones of their relatives, this was the only place they could go. There was no other feasible option.
Lin Yilong stood in silence for a moment. "Although we haven't been in contact for a long time, you are a friend worth making close friends with."
Cesar also came over. He didn't bring any flowers, so he left behind a piece of strange news with the back and front blank.
This fragment, created by him in imitation of Li Qingping's technique, is usable even by ordinary people. It contains nothing but a ring. Simply crush the fragment and the ring will appear.
This is the ring that the old king gave to Li Qingping before, symbolizing the noble status of the royal court team.
But how could a middle school student wear a ring to school? Later, when Li Qingping came to the human world to study, he was afraid of being punished by the dean of studies, so he simply left the precious ring secretly in the box garden. When the old king knew about this, he was so angry that he almost got pneumonia.
Later, on the day when they destroyed the Royal Court Team and left the Whale Box Garden, Xizel found the ring in Li Qingping's dormitory.
It was not until now that he knew that the friend "Gu Wenyu" in the human world that Li Qingping had been thinking about was actually Mr. Black Pupa who had been helping them.
So he made the ring into a piece of strange fragment and left it in front of the empty tombstone.
In fact, when Xizel heard the truth from Gu Qinye two days ago, he was shocked. He was stunned for a long time with his mouth wide open.
It wasn't until the little shark in his pocket slapped him hard with its fin that he slowly came to his senses.
At that time, Xizel was thinking in his mind, so, does Li Qingping know that Gu Wenyu is the "Black Pupa", and does the Black Pupa know that Li Qingping is actually the "Red Dragon"?
Xizel racked his brains but couldn't figure out the answer. Maybe when these two people were dying, they were regretting not telling each other their identities?
"What a pair of weird and twisted people," he thought to himself.
"Big Fluttermoth, Shark orders you to rest in peace underground."
At this moment, Yagubaru suddenly popped his head out of his pocket and spoke to the tombstone.
"Shh, Yagubaru, go back quickly...there are other people here." Xizel whispered, pressed the little shark's head back into his pocket, then turned his head and secretly glanced at Zhou Jiuya who was resting with his eyes closed under the banyan tree.
Zhou Jiuya hugged his shoulders, suddenly opened his golden eyes, and looked at him indifferently.
César shuddered and quickly slipped away.
Following them came Ke Qirui.
She thought for a moment, then took out a pack of tobacco from her windbreaker pocket and placed it in front of the tombstone.
"Although I know you don't smoke, I don't have anything good to give you, so that's it." She said softly, "You are so stupid, boy... You have a sister who loves you so much, but you don't cherish her. How can you be so stupid?"
After saying that, Ke Qirui put his hands in his windbreaker pockets and turned away.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sea breeze blew over. Gu Qiye's hair was lifted up by the wind. He narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head to look in the direction of the wind.
From the mountain, you can see the bay in the distance. At this moment, the setting sun sinks below the horizon, taking away the last ray of afterglow that falls on the cemetery. The whole world becomes dark, plunging into a pitch-black darkness.
"Brother, we're home." Su Zimai reached out and stroked the tombstone, saying softly.
