Chapter 724 Promotion
On his wedding day, he walked out of the house wearing a bright red wedding dress.
Before leaving, he said to his new wife.
"He said, 'I can protect the world only if I pick up a knife, but I can't hug you. I have failed you in this life. If I can't come back, you can take the Rong family's property and remarry.'"
The young man rode on the horse with a determined look on his face.
"Later, he went to the battlefield and led his soldiers to retake the city. During the battle, he encountered a trap set by Dongling and disappeared."
"Everyone said he was dead, and everyone advised me to remarry. My parents even cried several times because of this."
"I don't believe it..." The old lady shook her head.
"I am guarding the Rong family. No one is allowed to take advantage of the Rong family. I will wait for him to come back..."
"Sure enough, half a year later he defeated the enemy in one fell swoop and returned to the capital. At that time, he was only eighteen years old." The old lady's eyes lit up, like a shining little sun.
The Rong family regained its former glory and even surpassed their father's generation.
They were together less often than they were apart in their lives, but their feelings were extremely deep. Even the old lady, who was the daughter of a civil official, was as brave as a general.
The old lady cried quietly, but her sadness almost drowned Lu Chaochao.
Lu Chaochao hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to whisper in her grandmother's ear: "Grandma, I'll tell you a secret."
"Death is not a departure."
The old lady held back her tears, afraid that Chao Chao would worry, and nodded slightly.
The body was kept for three days, and Rong Che held a basin in both hands.
With a snap, it broke into pieces.
"Begin the funeral!" He shouted, holding the old man's spirit tablet with tears in his eyes, and walked out of the door step by step.
The servant was carrying a bamboo basket, and handfuls of paper money were flying all over the sky.
The long street was crowded with people, who followed behind him to see him off, and the entire street was silent.
"My Lord, have a safe journey..."
"My Lord, please take care..."
"Thank you for your protection. We come to kowtow to you." People came one after another from all directions, all crying out in pain.
Rong Che sniffed, his eyes full of tears.
"Okay, okay, just cry for a while, but don't be too sad." Lu Chaochao pulled the third brother's sleeve.
Lu Yuanxiao couldn't hear her crying and waved his hands at her.
"Sister Shuyao, stop crying, or your grandfather will jump up and scold you."
Zhou Shuyao sobbed, her eyes were red and swollen, and she shook her head: "If you can jump up and hit me, it would be a blessing."
Lu Chaochao scratched his head and fell at the end of the team.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened it, a bony hand suddenly pinched her mouth.
Like a little duck.
“Mmmmm…” Lu Chaochao kicked the sky with his hands and feet.
Tian Dao laughed helplessly: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, it cannot be said, it cannot be said."
He let go of his hand, and Lu Chaochao pouted and clasped her arms.
"I'm dying of suffocation..."
"They were crying so miserably, I could hardly hold it back...ah..."
Lu Chaochao looked at him suspiciously: "Why do you smell weird?" He always felt that something was wrong.
Tiandao said nothing, but just quietly led her up the mountain.
Zhuifeng lowered his head and followed behind humbly.
Feeling Tiandao's gaze, he pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled in a flattering manner.
The wide and long street was packed with people who came to see them off. When they reached the top of the mountain, the old lady came over in person to thank them, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
When the coffin was buried, members of the Rong family knelt on the ground.
"Dad, take care."
"Duke, have a safe journey."
The old lady burst into tears and said, "Old man, drive slowly on the road to the underworld. Don't forget to wait for me."
"Grandfather is not going to the underworld, so why is he walking..." Lu Chaochao muttered quietly while hiding in the crowd.
After a busy period, the Rong family supported each other and went down the mountain. The old lady and Rong Che kept looking back...
As soon as the old man left, there always felt like something was missing in this mansion.
There are white banners hanging everywhere. Although only one person is missing, there is a huge emptiness in my heart.
Tiandao glanced at the sky, patted Lu Chaochao on the head, and pursed his lips: "The time has come."
Lu Chaochao's face lit up with joy, and she pulled the old lady out.
"Grandma, grandma... come with me quickly..."
"Well, Daddy and Mommy, come quickly..."
The funeral in the past few days has exhausted the old lady both physically and mentally, and she is almost half dead. Rong Che also had a tired look on his face...
"Chao Chao, grandma and daddy are very tired. Can you let them have a rest?" Yunniang was puzzled. Chao Chao had always been a sensible child. Why was he so weird today?
Lu Chaochao shook her head: "Please, please, grandma..."
"Daddy..." He held their hands and pleaded.
"We're almost late, come with me quickly." The little girl was anxious.
Rong Che doted on his children to begin with, and at this moment he forced himself to be cheerful: "Okay, Daddy and grandma will go with you." He immediately asked someone to bring a sedan chair and let the old lady get on.
Lu Chaochao clapped his hands happily.
"Hurry to the west of the city, go to the west of the city, and walk faster. We're going to miss it."
Everyone hurried forward, and the old lady was sore all over from the shaking of the sedan chair.
After lifting the curtain, he asked, "Why are you here at the City God Temple?"
Lu Chaochao had already quickly stepped over the threshold and ran into the temple.
"Forget it, now that we're here, we might as well pay our respects. Pray to the City God, so that the old man can live a better life down there." Rong Che supported the old lady, who walked into the door with a hunched back.
The City God Temple was filled with smoke and the air was filled with a reassuring atmosphere.
"Daddy, go wipe the dust off the City God's body." The little guy directed Rong Che to help.
Rong Che didn't ask why, and took people to clean up the City God Temple.
"Kneel down!" she said, and stepped aside.
Rong Che was stunned, looked at the faded City God, and knelt down without hesitation.
The moment I knelt down, I saw a bright light appear in the sky.
Shanshan was sitting on the doorstep bored. When she looked up, she saw a star falling from the sky.
"Oh, the stars are falling..." the little guy shouted, pointing at the sky.
Rong Che and the others only felt a white flash before their eyes, their vision blurred, and in a trance, he was suddenly stunned.
"Am I hallucinating? Why did I see my father?!"
He whispered.
The old lady was the first to react: "Old man!!"
When the white light faded away, the dilapidated City God Tower remained. But at first glance, the City God seemed to have a spirit.
“This…this…” The tears on Rong Che’s face had not yet dried. He pointed at the City God in excitement and was unable to speak for a long time.
"It's the old man, it must be the old man, I can't be wrong." The old lady suddenly became energetic, pushed away the maid who was supporting her, and was about to step forward.
"Look at this!!"
I saw a shadow appear on the City God sculpture. That... was the Duke of Zhenguo who was just buried! !
"That's what I said, parting is not death, it's a new beginning..."
"The old man fought on the battlefield and saved countless lives. He was called a living Bodhisattva by the people."
"Good deeds will bring good results."
"Now, grandpa is the city god of this area." The little girl smiled...
