The sun is getting warmer, and the snow that has been piling up for a long time is slowly melting. The breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger, and the cold winter is finally leaving.
The old snow on the branches has fallen off, and fresh green buds have poked out. A bit of new green is swaying, adding a touch of spring.
Spring is here and everything seems to be getting better.
However, at this time, a newspaper boy walked through the streets shouting: "The latest news, the latest news, the enemy is bombing Rongcheng..."
Yu Huan was stunned when he heard it.
She couldn't understand what Sheng Minglang and Lin He said. She just watched their mouths opening and closing. Then she felt dizzy for a moment and almost fell down.
Sheng Minglang supported her and cried loudly.
In the end, Lin He ran out, bought a newspaper, and asked them to take a closer look to see if it was true.
"On February 3rd, several enemy bombers circled over Rongcheng... The details of the situation are unknown, and the fate of Governor Sheng Mingfu is uncertain..."
A few lines of words clearly come into view.
Sheng Minglang howled: "It's over, it's over, my brother and the others are definitely not going to survive... Wuuuuu my father, my mother, my grandmother..."
Yu Huan also cried, holding the newspaper.
A bomber, that's a bomber, how could anyone survive from that...
They cried loudly and couldn't stop. Lin He felt sad and heartbroken, but not as grief-stricken as they were. She could only look at this and that and try to find ways to comfort them.
The two cried for a long time. I don’t know what they were thinking, but they took the hoe they used to plant radishes and dug a hole under the persimmon tree.
I want to build a tomb for Sheng Mingfu.
"He said... don't collect his body... just build a cenotaph." Yu Huan cried while digging a hole.
Lin He stood there in a daze for a moment, helplessly saying, "Yes, I'm digging at home."
It will be quite special to see graves every time you go out.
The two of them were getting into a fight, and she couldn't really stop them.
Sheng Minglang wiped away her tears and sobbed as she begged Yu Huan: "Sister-in-law, can I also write the names of my parents and my grandmother on the grave?"
He held his breath, suppressing his sobs, and continued, "My brother's name is in the middle. They only need a little space... I, I can't dig so many holes by myself."
"It's okay, it's okay, your brother won't mind the crowd." Yu Huan comforted him with tears in her eyes.
After the pit was dug, she buried the set of jewelry that Sheng Mingfu had given her in it. She couldn't find any of Sheng Mingfu's things on her, so this was the only thing that had some connection with him.
Sheng Minglang had nothing to think about, so he put their family's gold ingots down.
Finally, they buried the body in a mound and erected a wooden sign as a tombstone.
Sheng Mingfu's name was written in the middle, and the other three were written in a long string on the sides.
Lin He looked at it again and again, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and in the end she said nothing.
?
There is more than just a pile of graves.
They also wanted to buy some funeral supplies to give Sheng Mingfu a perfect ceremony. Unfortunately, the store on the street that sold these things was not open yet.
So I had no choice but to go home.
After a few more days of agony, Sheng Minglang heard that the store was finally open, so he took Yu Huan with him.
They walked so fast that they just missed the car that came up the street.
A tall and slender figure got out of the car and walked towards the courtyard.
Lin He was just coming out of the door and was about to pour out the rice washing water when she saw the person coming. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she froze in place.
I took a wreath, a bunch of white candles, a box of incense, some burning paper, and two packets of paper money.
Before leaving, they saw someone selling white flowers, so Yu Huan pinned one in her hair and Sheng Minglang put one on her chest.
They were busy getting their things over and had no time to stay, so they missed the chatter of people not far away:
"Rongcheng won!"
"Hey, I heard that the governor had already placed spies on the other side. He knew they were planning a bombing, so he arranged for people to build air-raid shelters in advance..."
"Wait until their bombers have withdrawn and reinforcements have arrived, then we'll kill them all by surprise..."
Everyone had a happy face, except Yu Huan and Sheng Minglang, who were still immersed in sadness. When they walked to the intersection and saw a car, they both thought it was blocking the road.
When I was almost at the door, I heard voices in the house, but I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a neighbor visiting.
The scene of Sheng Mingfu buying her delicious food and new clothes was still vivid in her mind. Yu Huan was overwhelmed with sorrow and took out a handful of paper money and threw it into the air.
A tall figure walked out, covered with snow-white paper money.
Yu Huan was stunned. She thought maybe she was hallucinating because of thinking about it day and night, but Sheng Minglang also screamed, proving that she was not the only one who saw it.
Then, could it be that...
"ghost!"
“Ghost!!!”
The shouting, almost at the breaking point, reached everyone's ears. Wreaths, candles, and burning paper fell to the ground in disarray.
The two of them turned around and ran, looking back to see if the ghost was catching up with them.
Sheng Mingfu: ...
Once it was safe over there, Sheng Mingfu came over immediately. After not seeing her for several months, their communication channels had been cut off, and he missed her so much that he could only dream of her.
He found the place and saw Lin He, but heard her stammering that they had gone out to buy things.
When asked where she was going, she was evasive and couldn't explain clearly.
After finally hearing their footsteps coming back, he couldn't wait to go out, and then...
Sheng Mingfu took a deep breath and stood at the door to see where they could run to.
"Why isn't he moving?"
