Chapter 44 Crying Spirit

Less than ten years ago, the Zuofeng Zhujiazhuang on Yuwu Mountain was still in red and colorful, but now it has white tiles and white walls, and white elegiac couplets everywhere. Overwhelmed Zhujiazhuang.

Although the bodies were still left in the county government office at the foot of the mountain, Zhujiazhuang built a mourning hall for Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingyun.Many relatives and friends of Zhu's family have come and left. Everyone bowed in front of Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingyun's spiritual tablets, seeming respectful and sad, but they couldn't help guessing in their hearts: "Zhu Tianwei is such a hero, I didn't expect to have such a violent death. What happened? What's the matter? Is it a vendetta? Or a fight?"

Every time the spirit-seeking guests finished their salutes, Zhu Tianxiang, who was standing by the coffin, hurriedly returned the salutes.Although he can't be alone yet, but these few days he has dealt with the funeral of Zhu Tianwei and his wife, and arranged some chores in the village, he is no longer as shy and cowardly as before, his voice is louder, and he is decisive in giving orders.It's just that everyone in the village can't change their perceptions, and everyone still looks down on him. If it wasn't for Zhan Zhao, Ding Yuehua and others to help and encourage, Zhu Tianxiang wouldn't have the chance to appear at the funeral if he didn't say that he would come forward to host the response.

Once the time came when he had to show his face, Zhu Tianxiang also showed the unyielding tenacity unique to Zhu's family members. No matter how cold and sarcastic others were, he gritted his teeth and persisted in doing things in a orderly and decent manner.

When he was receiving guests, he turned his eyes to Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua who were sitting beside him from time to time, his eyes were full of gratitude, and his eyes towards Ding Yuehua became more and more admiring.

Because of Zhan Zhao and others, the people in Zhujiazhuang had no choice but to suppress their disdain for Zhu Tianxiang in their hearts, and reluctantly obeyed orders.Only the old butler, Fu Fu, kept silent from beginning to end, and said that the back disease had recurred, coupled with the heavy heart, he couldn't get up, and he didn't come out to help.

It was getting late, and the number of condolence guests was getting less and less. Zhu Tianxiang straightened up, heaved a long sigh of relief in secret, and couldn't help being happy. This was the first time in his life that he came out to preside over a major event. As scary as it is to worry about.

He looked at Zhan Zhao, who smiled encouragingly and nodded to him, making him feel more relaxed and confident.When he looked at Ding Yuehua again, hoping to get an encouraging smile, he saw Ding Yuehua's big bright eyes looking at Zhan Zhao without blinking. Concern and respect, as well as the incomparable joy of having a loved one by your side.

Zhu Tianxiang's chest seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword, deeply and heavily.He felt the piercing pain, but there was no sadness, but an indescribable anger, which instantly filled his heart.But for a moment, he turned his eyes away with difficulty, and his expression had returned to his previous humility and shyness.

Sitting beside Ding Yuehua, Bai Xinyu accidentally saw the fleeting anger in Zhu Tianxiang's eyes. Although he clearly knew that he was weak and incompetent, he shuddered inexplicably and comforted himself in his heart: "Zhu Tianxiang's elder brother and second sister passed away. I am very sorry." Sad, thinking too much."

She looked back at her eldest brother, Bai Qingfeng, and felt uneasy again.

Ever since Bai Qingyun found out that Bai Qingyun had committed suicide, Bai Qingfeng's face remained the same as before, desolate and calm.Others may not be able to see the change, but Bai Xinyu knows him too well, and knows that he must be very disturbed and excited, otherwise he would not say a word almost all day long, nor would his hands tremble when burning incense. Almost broke the incense stick.She also remembered that after Zhu Tianwei's tragic death, Bai Qingfeng stayed up all night for several days, sitting alone in the lobby of Xiuhuang Village, with no lights on, for a whole night.

Bai Xinyu knew that her elder brother had serious concerns, but every time she tried to ask, Bai Qingfeng either ignored her or said she was fine, but she clearly saw the anxiety and fear in his eyes that he tried to conceal.What is he worried about, and what is he afraid of?

The white candles in the mourning hall were lighted one by one, the cool wind blew, and the shadows of the candles swayed, and the chill in the mourning hall suddenly increased, as if there was some shady secret hidden in a dark corner, or just in the shadow There are beasts and monsters hiding in wait for an opportunity to come out at any time.

Zhu Tianxiang put one hand on the ground and wanted to get up, but the little book boy who had been standing behind him hurried forward to grab his arm.Zhu Tianxiang didn't know whether he hated himself for being weak, or hated Lianji for being troublesome. After standing up, he shook off Lianji's hand heavily and gave him a hard look.

Lian Ji still bowed his head deeply, no one could see the expression on his face, with his hands hanging by his sides, he silently retreated back.

Zhu Tianxiang took a deep breath first, summoned up his courage, and then said: "It's getting late, everyone, please move to the dining hall, eat early, go to rest early..."

He thought for a while, and then told a servant next to him: "Go and notify the kitchen to prepare meals..." He was not used to giving orders and assigning people, so when he said that, his face flushed with nervousness.

He collected himself and told himself that he was already the owner of Zhujiazhuang, so there was no need to be timid.He was just waiting to speak again when he saw the old butler running in with his blessings, disheveled clothes and disheveled white hair.

The old housekeeper Fu Fu didn't look aside, and directly bumped into Zhu Tianwei's spiritual seat, clenched his fists, pounded the desk, and cried loudly: "Master! Why did you die like this?! Leave this big wish No one is the master of the family estate. The old slave has served the master for three generations, but I didn't expect the Zhu family to be reduced to this point, and there is not even a decent descendant left!"

Zhu Tianxiang took two steps back, his expression was flustered, his face turned blue and white, and he was at a loss.

The old housekeeper blessed him as if no one was around, continued to caress the spirit tablet with both hands, and cried loudly: "Master, you have died unjustly, you are the one who contributes to everything you do, worry about it, and wait for the profit to be shared by others. Now that you have died unexpectedly, who will come?" To avenge you, who will uphold justice for you? Others have gained advantage, but you have lost your life. What good friends, let alone good brothers, are just blind eyes that can only share blessings, but cannot share adversity Wolf!"
