Chapter 550 Finale (Part 2)
This went on until July 14th, when Huo Gannian finally calmed down.
Because for Yun Chen and Huo Gan Nian, they can skip the Chinese New Year and birthdays, but they must celebrate the Ghost Festival.
The two of them began bathing and preparing early in the morning, folding gold and silver ingots with their own hands, and preparing a large table of offerings of fruits, cakes, and three kinds of meat and vegetables...
Yun Chen also folded dozens of small boats and lit the lamps.
She said that they were getting married on a boat, but their relatives and friends didn't have a boat and couldn't come, so they had to make some boats.
Seeing how serious and attentive she was, Huo Gannian raised his hand and touched her head:
"Silly, it's just a commemoration. They won't really come. There are no ghosts in the world!"
Yun Chen shook his head and said firmly:
"some."
Huo Gannian smiled but said nothing. Although he didn't believe those things, he was also sad when thinking of his deceased friend, and his mood of paying tribute was no less than Yun Chen's.
The two of them carefully prepared everything together and waited for Huo Gannian to go into the house to get something.
Yun Chen was the only one left on the wide deck.
The sea breeze made the flags rustle, and the gold and silver ingots rolled in the piles of cloth bags, as if they were making full preparations for the festival.
Yun Chen held a paper boat in his palm, looked at it quietly for a long time, and said softly:
"some."
On the day when the elephant tomb was buried in elephant bone mud, everyone said that the Soul-Devouring Pill poisoned Demon Slayer to death, and the elephant bone mud detoxified the Soul-Devouring Pill, so she came back to life.
Only she herself knew who she met and what she experienced during that brief hour she spent wandering between life and death, when she briefly entered the underworld.
She told Huo Gannian about the experience, and he listened attentively without interrupting or questioning.
But Yun Chen could tell from his eyes that he didn't believe it.
She told Yan Lang about it, and the latter said indifferently:
"Your heart is in disarray due to the poison in the Soul Devouring Pill, so you're experiencing hallucinations or dreams. Wake up! This is reality, not some charlatan's fiction."
No one believed that she had gone to the underworld and met all her deceased relatives and friends.
Later, because she mentioned it so many times and kept thinking about it, Yan Lang even thought that there was something wrong with her heart again. He kept taking her pulse and making medicine that could make her die.
Yun Chen had no choice but to shut up and not mention it anymore.
Later, as time went by, even she herself sometimes thought:
Did I really have a...beautiful dream that day?
She held her chin with her hand in her hand, a little frustrated, and sighed:
"Alas... people really do have souls after they die, why don't you believe it?"
At this time, a voice answered:
"I believe it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure leaped onto the deck and stood at the bow.
The sea breeze blew up his guard uniform, revealing the fiery red blood-red uniform underneath, which set off his unruly face.
"I believe it. Even though I haven't seen it, but Chen'er said it exists, so I believe it."
"Brother Feiyu!" Yun Chen ran over in surprise: "I knew it was you that day! During the wedding ceremony, I almost stepped on the mud when I got out of the sedan chair, and you reached out to help me cushion the dirt! I knew it was you!"
Shan Ji smiled, ruffled Yun Chen's hair, and his expression softened instantly:
"Silly girl."
Yun Chen hadn't seen Shan Ji for a long time. He pulled his arm and talked happily:
"Brother, on the wedding day, why don't you just attend the wedding as a guest? Why are you dressing up as a guard?"
"The guests are too distant. If you call me 'brother', I must be in the wedding procession, like your family, standing closest to you, carrying the bridal sedan myself, and escorting you to your wedding."
As Shan Ji spoke, he felt a little choked up, just like the tone he had when he held Yun Chen in his palms on the wedding day, but he was mostly happy and relieved.
Yun Chen didn't know what Shan Ji really meant, and he was genuinely happy:
"Great, brother, you're at my wedding. Are you still with the escort fleet? Are you here just to see me, too? Why didn't you come sooner?"
Facing Yun Chen's three questions with blinking eyelashes, Shan Ji glanced at the two dark circles under her eyes. Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight compared to the day of the wedding ceremony after dozens of days, his face flushed slightly and he said angrily:
"I'd love to come see you, too! But I'll have to find a chance!"
In the past few days, he tried to get on the boat and talk to Yun Chen before leaving.
I tried more than ten times, and every time I saw either the newlyweds hugging each other and being affectionate, or someone appreciating the moon and playing the pipa, or someone hugging each other and painting with a brush.
Or else...ah, I can't say it, I can't mention it, just thinking about it makes me angry.
Shan Ji had the urge to beat someone up, but he suppressed it and changed his tone to a gentle one:
"Chen'er, I came all the way here to give you a wedding gift. I have to leave after I give it to you. There are many things to do in the family. Look, silly girl, you are married and have become a big girl. I am happy for you."
Shan Ji's tone, which was both relieved and a little sour, like that of an elder, made Yun Chen a little puzzled, but he still received the kindness.
He took out an ordinary wooden hairpin from his bosom. It was of ordinary style and crude workmanship, and looked like the kind used by women from poor families to tie their hair.
He gently inserted the wooden hairpin into Yun Chen's bride's hair and said solemnly and with a hint of sadness:
"Chen'er, this is... my mother's relic. She left so quickly and so suddenly. I chased after her to keep her, but I only managed to grab this wooden hairpin. This is the most precious thing I've treasured for so many years. I'm giving it to you. It's worthy of the most precious person."
Yun Chen was flattered and refused repeatedly:
"This thing is too valuable. I can't accept it. You should give it to your sweetheart in the future. How can I deserve such a valuable gift?"
As she was about to pull out the wooden hairpin, Shan Ji gently held her hand and said without allowing her to argue:
"You can handle it. Take this, brother!"
Seeing Shan Ji looking so serious, Yun Chen had no choice but to accept it.
She tilted her head, touched her hairpin, and smiled at Shan Ji.
This scene made Shan Ji suddenly realize something. After more than ten years, it seemed as if his mother appeared before him again.
Chen'er, you look more like your mother than I do...
Shan Ji sighed inwardly, raised his head and wiped his face, pretending to be joking:
"I have to go, otherwise the sea water will keep splashing on my face. It's really salty."
Yun Chen looked outside the deck suspiciously: "What about the ninth floor? If I jump down in the morning, I won't hear the sound until the evening. Where does the seawater come from?"
"Hahahahahahahaha——" Shan Ji raised his head and laughed loudly. The hearty laughter made Yun Chen's eardrums buzz.
"Okay, I've attended the wedding ceremony and sent the gifts. I'm relieved, so I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Shan Ji was about to get off the boat, but Yun Chen grabbed his sleeve in time. His little mouth moved around, hesitating and not knowing how to start.
Shan Ji smiled knowingly:
"She's fine. She said that not disturbing her is her best wish."
Yun Chen felt at ease and relieved, smiled happily, and waved goodbye to Shan Ji.
Shan Ji responded with the same smile, but his eyes noticed someone walking not far away, but his face suddenly fell, and he glared at the person fiercely before leaving like a whirlwind.
Huo Gannian received Shan Ji's warning look, touched his nose and chuckled twice.
