Chapter One Hundred Sixteen: The Funeral is Over

  Wen Shu's words were "to send Li Shi's daughter to the nether world", but in fact, it was just a euphemism for pulling the coffin to the crematorium.

  I don't know when it started, but the trend of admiring one's appearance has become popular. Originally, there were over a hundred people in a large hall, and after circling around the coffin once, it was taken away for cremation by the staff. Mr. and Mrs. Li wailed with grief, and that Yu guy is indeed an acting expert - he was calm just now, but suddenly became hysterical, crying uncontrollably as he tried to pull back the body from being cremated, shouting: "Xiao Xiao!!! Why are you so heartless to leave me like this!!! Xiao Xiao!!! I beg of you, come back!!!"

  I swear, really, I swear, if there's no one around, I'll definitely kick this tourist shoe at that guy's head and first kick out ten bucks. This is too infuriating. Now that the person is dead, what are you pretending to be a filial son for? You can't even show off your filial piety, right?

  Fortunately, the staff at the crematorium were used to such things and immediately pushed him aside, after all, this was obstructing their work.

  It's really a free parameter in the dark, after being pushed away by his brother and hitting his head against the wall, he got a big purple bump, it hurt so much that he was gritting his teeth, and didn't even have time to cry. Seeing this scene, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.

  Half an hour later, the cremation was done, and the family went to collect the ashes. The ashes were collected in order from foot to head into the urn. Just as a large house is only a temporary residence, this small box is the permanent home!

  After picking up the ashes, everyone got back on the car and the fleet drove to the cemetery. I have to say that the feng shui of this place is really good. It's already great to have a piece of land like this for a cemetery in Harbin, but although the location is good, the price is also high. After getting off the car and walking towards the grave site we had bought beforehand, I was shocked when I heard people around me talking about the price of this cemetery. Each square meter costs 42,000 yuan! The total cost for this one grave site is over 3 million, which is even more expensive than a house for humans to live in!

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh again. Damn it, now even the cemetery is so expensive. When I die, won't it be even more expensive? Alas, it seems that without money, you can't even get sick, let alone die!

  Nowadays, tombs are all built in advance, which saves the trouble of digging soil. Just open the marble slab and then invite the ashes box to enter, it's convenient and effortless.

  After everything was ready, Master Wen asked me to take out two paper clothes from the package. The old Daoist priest spoke with deep emotion in front of everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, on March 10th of the year of Yi Chou, it is the birthday of Li Xia's death. As the saying goes, 'the bridge of sorrow has a gloomy wind, the departed soul must be sad'. Today, Li Xia has gone to the extreme happiness, so please let her parents send two paper clothes in advance to help her resist the cold!"

  Mr. and Mrs. Li wept as they lit the two paper garments, at which point Wen Shu said: "Gentlemen, the winter clothes have been sent off; next comes the sending of cattle on the third day, the erection of a ladder on the seventh day, and the hundredth-day sacrifice."

  After finishing speaking, he nodded like Li Gong. Seeing that everything was over, Li Gong said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard, please go to the hotel for a meal first."

  Everyone knew that this was a thank-you banquet for relatives, and after dinner, the funeral would be over. They walked out of the cemetery in twos and threes.

  I wasn't in a hurry to leave, but was searching everywhere for Yve's shadow. Before long, I found him by Mr. Li's side, and this guy really knows how to pick his moments, he went to wipe his eyes with a handkerchief again beside Mr. Li.

  I closely followed the two of them, waiting for an opportunity, but this guy was stuck to Li Gong like cowhide glue. Seeing that they were about to leave the cemetery, I felt that I couldn't wait any longer and had to take the initiative to attack.

  So I said behind them: "Hey? Isn't this Yu Xi?"

  Mr. Li and Yu Xi in front heard someone calling from behind, both turned their heads back, Yu Xi saw that it was actually me, his eyes filled with hostility and contempt, but I looked at him with a cold smile.

  Li Gong saw me and asked Yu Xi: "Do you know the disciple of Master Wen?"

  Yu Xi heard Li Gong say that and hastily shook his head. He looked at me with a very disdainful tone and said, "I don't know him, how could I possibly know someone like this?"

  A cold smile spread across my face, I knew you'd try this with me, but I was prepared. So, I didn't get angry and continued to sneer at him, saying: "I said Yu Xi, how could you not recognize me? Alas, it's really true that the rich are forgetful, right? By the way, Dong Shanshan, do you remember?"

  One evening, I mentioned Dong Shanshan in front of Mr. Li, and he was so scared that his cold sweat seemed to have flowed down instantly. Then, he immediately changed his expression to a very affectionate one and said: "Ah, isn't that someone? Look at my brain, it's actually forgotten."

  I saw him put on a suit, so I didn't say anything else and continued to smile coldly. Turning my head to Li Gong, I said: "Dad, you go back first, I'll talk to this friend for a bit and then we'll go back together."

  I was quite surprised to hear him call Li Gong "Dad", I didn't expect this scoundrel to be so capable, I guess he has recognized Li Gong as a big backer and taken him as his godfather. But it's not surprising, because people like him are typical small men, if they were in the War of Resistance, they would definitely be traitors. I thought to myself, enjoy your beauty for now, tomorrow night you will really call Li Gong "Dad".

  Li Gong nodded and left.

  The entire cemetery was left with only me and Yu Xi. He seemed to be waiting for me to speak first, but I didn't, instead closing my eyes to listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the hills, then opening them again, revenge is near, I smiled wickedly.

  Yu Xi was getting a bit agitated, seeing that there was no one around, he quickly picked up a stone from the ground and pointed at me, saying viciously: "Cui! Are you f**king looking for trouble?! The last time's matter I haven't settled with you yet, are you tired of living?! How dare you come to my doorstep this time?!"

  "My goodness, I'm delighted! He's going to fight me? Does he think that just because I'm thinner and shorter than him, I'm easy to bully? Does he still feel wronged from the last time he got beaten?"

  Although I thought it was quite interesting to go up and beat him again, but I knew that if I beat him now, the plan would be ruined. So I didn't take action, but continued to smile at him and said: "No no, we just happened to meet today, by the way, you should mourn, your girlfriend is dead, right? Later I'll call Dong Shanshan and ask her to help you cook some soup to replenish your energy. You're crying so much, it's a waste of spirit."

  As soon as he heard me say that, his face changed in an instant, because he was very clear that I already knew about this matter, and no matter who I told, Dong Shanshan or Li Gong, his ending would be miserable.

  He then asked me cautiously: "What do you want? Just say it."

  I saw everything was within my expectation, so I wasn't in a hurry. First, I lit a cigarette and took a deep drag before grinning at him and saying: "I don't want to do anything serious, just like playing with you, how about it? Are you daring?"

  He listened to me saying this, obviously didn't understand what I meant, so he asked me: "If you have something to say, just say it! What's the game?"

  I took another drag on my cigarette and said to him, "Son of a bitch, who are you used to talking loudly to? I know that last time I didn't beat you into submission. How about it, do you dare continue tomorrow night? Go ahead and find someone else if you want. What do you say? Do you dare?"

  Yu Xi heard this and immediately got angry, as if it was exactly what he wanted to hear. He said: "What are you afraid of? Are you tired of living a long life? Well, I'll fulfill your wish, but is there any reason for that?"

  I laughed, it seems he's not stupid after all. So I said to him: "Of course there is, if I defeat you, you'll automatically leave Dong Shanshan and kneel on the ground calling me 'Cui Ye'. Also, you have to do one more thing for me. What do you think?"

  Looking at the unimpressive and somewhat despicable short figure in front of him with a disdainful expression, as if he thought that even if he randomly found someone, he would already be unbeatable. So he said: "Okay, but what if I knock you down?"

  I laughed, took a deep drag on my cigarette, and then said to him: "If you can defeat me, your grandfather, I'll help you keep this secret. Oh, and there's more."

  I pointed at my left hand and said: "I'll give you my left hand. What do you think?"

  Yu Xi heard me say that, I'm sure he would be complacent in his heart, because in his eyes, last time was entirely due to Lao Yi's concern for him that he suffered a loss. If this time we spend money to invite people from society, I reckon even if they beat me half to death it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, in his eyes, money is almighty, and since I don't have as much money as him, naturally I'm not as formidable as him.

  He coldly said to me: "Alright! It's settled then. Where shall we meet tomorrow night?"

  I gazed at his triumphant expression and couldn't help but sneer in my heart: How ignorant these humans are.

  So I told him, "Let's go to Jiangbei, it's quieter there. Take the highway towards University Town and drive all the way to the end. I'll be waiting for you in the suburbs on my side. Remember, whoever doesn't show up is a coward. And if you don't come, you should know the consequences."

  He glared at me fiercely and said, "If I were you, I'd make a will first!" After that, he strode out of the cemetery.

  After he left, I called Wen Shu and told him that I wouldn't go to eat anymore, but tomorrow I wanted to ask for his advice. Wen Shu agreed, and after hanging up the phone, I surprisingly found myself looking forward to tomorrow.

  What kind of feeling is this? I'm really not quite sure, all I know is that as long as everything I do is clear in my heart, then it's fine. If we don't teach this scoundrel a lesson, there will be endless troubles later on.

  I took a deep drag on the cigarette, then flicked the butt to the ground and crushed it with my shoe. I turned and walked away from the cemetery without looking back.
