The Millennium After Dying Young Chapter 49: Funeral
The mourning and joy in the Nanjia compound lasted until three o'clock in the morning.
During this period, Xu Le has not received any calls from Lao Dao and Hei Wuchang. Hei Wuchang didn't go to urge him.
In addition, Xu Beibei didn't come out to patrol, which didn't fit her schedule.
Fortunately, Xu Beibei is here, so Xu Le is not worried about what will happen to her.
In the lobby, Nan Zhendong checked the time and asked most of the people to go back to rest.
However, some people including himself stayed, and they wanted to sleep overnight in front of the mourning hall.
This is the last evening to be spent with loved ones, and there are similar customs in many places.
Most of the people who stayed were Nan Xiaoxi's uncles. They seemed to be familiar with this kind of thing, they just laid down on the floor and slept with their clothes on, very happy with the situation.
Nan Xiaoxi also stayed, but Xu Le did not.
Because of the old man's relationship, the Nan family is no longer as aggressive towards him as before, but it is definitely not friendly, and they will only be hated by others if they stay.
Instead of doing this, it would be more comfortable to sleep with your daughter in your arms.
Xu Le is very clear about the balance.
On the way back, Xu Le finally received a call from Hei Wuchang.
The meeting place is at the back kitchen of the Nan family, a relatively remote corner.
As soon as Xu Le came over, he saw Heiwuchang dressed in black. This guy was floating in mid-air on purple auspicious clouds, with a mourning stick on his right shoulder and a long tongue hanging on his left shoulder. His shape...was very strange.
Hei Wuchang also noticed Xu Le at this time, turned over and jumped off, and ran over while cleaning his tongue.
"Big brother, how are you? Have you considered entering my underworld? Lord Yan treats you very highly. As long as you come here, you will definitely be in high position!" Come on...
There is no more terrifying greeting than this!
Fortunately, Xu Le has long been accustomed to the way of thinking of these guys, and his mood is very stable. He calmly said: "No."
Hei Wuchang smiled, Xu Le had rejected him once before, so this rejection was also expected by him.
So I said: "Oh, don't worry, big brother, you have thought about it, just contact me at any time, the gate of the underworld will always be open for you!"
"Thank you..."
Xu Le finished this sentence with a dark face, and then asked: "Is there any news about that man in white?"
Hei Wuchang said: "No."
"No?"
Xu Le was stunned, there was no news, what kind of call did you make in the middle of the night?
Probably seeing Xu Le's confusion, Hei Wuchang explained: "Brother, you don't know something. There have been actions in the underworld in recent days. I'm here tonight to dispatch troops and generals. I'll come over with you on the way." Say hello."
"That's it?"
"That's it!"
"Okay..." Xu Le sighed.
Hei Wuchang saw Xu Le's disappointment, and explained, "Brother, don't worry, the man in white is really weird. I can't find it out, so I have already handed it over to Yan Jun. Once I hear it's your business, Yan Jun has started the investigation, I believe there will be results soon, don't worry!"
Hei Wuchang patted Xu Le on the shoulder vigorously, and said seriously: "Please trust the hell! Trust Yan Jun!"
Xu Le's eyes lighted up. Indeed, if there was someone from the underworld to deal with it, no matter how well the man in white covered it up, he would have nothing to hide.
Hell, that is no ordinary place.
Xu Le hurriedly said: "How long will it take to get the result?"
Hei Wuchang said proudly: "Within the Three Realms and Five Elements, nothing can be hidden from Yan Jun's insightful eyes. Don't worry, the truth will definitely be found within a hundred years!"
Xu Le spurted out a mouthful of old blood five meters away!
One hundred years, it is better to just forget it!
Xu Le has no hope for the underworld...
Before leaving, Xu Le suddenly thought of Hei Wuchang's words before, and stopped Hei Wuchang: "You just said to dispatch troops? Could it be that you want to call ghosts who are on duty in the world?"
Hei Wuchang was stunned for a moment, then nodded after reacting: "Yes."
"Even using these ghost agents, I'm afraid it's not a small action?" Xu Le asked in surprise.
Based on his understanding of the underworld, the ghost messengers in the human world are just nominal civil servants who are ready to become regulars at any time. Compared with the ghost messengers in the underworld, their authority is much worse.
On weekdays, I only do some simple tasks of catching ghosts, and I will be recalled by the underworld only when necessary.
Just like the reserve army, they usually do what they like to do, and only when the country needs them, they will be recalled to the army and enlisted again.
All in all, this is a force that is rarely used.
But today, the underworld is about to activate it, which surprised Xu Le.
What kind of big move is it that even these reserve soldiers are called in? Could it be that the underworld is preparing to attack the demon world?
It’s not right either, attacking the demon world, instead of mobilizing ghost soldiers from the sea of blood, but mobilizing ghosts from the human world?
Xu Le really couldn't figure it out.
"Uh..." Hei Wuchang looked embarrassed: "Brother Yan is a person appreciated by Lord Yan. This matter should not be hidden from you, but it is related to the secrets of the underworld. I am inconvenient to say, and I hope to understand, unless You wipe now..."
"Okay, okay!" Xu Le quickly interrupted with a dark face, this guy, he can't bear to have his neck wiped when he disagrees with him.
"Actually, I'm not interested in your actions, I just want to ask, is my daughter also included in this recall?" This is what Xu Le is most concerned about.
Hei Wuchang laughed after hearing this, and said: "Don't worry, Yan Jun has a will, you must not use Xu Beibei, big brother, don't worry now?"
"Then thank you Yan Jun." Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xu Beibei didn't join the co-op, he would be relieved.
"Hey, my family, if you don't say these things, as long as you wipe your neck down earlier, big brother, it will be the best repayment for Yan Jun!" Xu Le's face darkened on the spot.
Has this guy always been this straightforward?
"Hoo..."
Hei Wuchang flew far away before letting out a long sigh.
Just now, he lied to Xu Le.
Actually, this operation is not a secret, it just involves the face of some people, so it is more confidential than a secret.
He would not tell Xu Le, "Yan Jun was threatened by a little witch's funds and had to send troops to conquer Boshan"!
In case of a slip of the tongue, Yan Jun, a guy who wants to save face, finds out, and he won't have to be out of the pot in this life...
…
Early the next morning, the Nanjia convoy left the compound in an orderly manner and headed straight for the crematorium.
At noon, everyone brought Nan Zhenguo's ashes to the back mountain of Nanjia.
It was raining lightly and the sky was gloomy.
The firecrackers in front cleared the way, and there was endless sorrow and joy along the way.
Thousands of Nan family children dressed in white lined up, winding up the mountain road. The scene was truly spectacular.
During the burial, Nan Xiaoxi, who had endured all the way, finally couldn't help it, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", crying like a child.
Many people who watched this scene burst into tears, and the entire cemetery echoed with cries one after another.
Xu Le watched all this silently, neither joy nor sorrow in his heart.
As the evening approached, the funeral was finally over, and a group of people returned to the Nan family compound to start the aftermath work. Nan Xiaoxi was crying silently all the way, but because her mother was always by her side, it was hard for Xu Le to go over and say something.
After a large group of people returned to the compound, under the leadership of Nan Zhendong, they started the aftermath work.
The dead are gone, the living cannot always be shrouded in the shadow of the dead, they should eat and drink, and life must go on.
After dinner, Nan Zhendong stopped Xu Le who was about to leave.
"Xu Le, wait a minute, I have something I want to talk to you about." Nan Zhenguo stood up while wiping his mouth, and said to Xu Le in a friendly manner.
"Yeah."
After finishing speaking, Xu Le saw that Mr. Nan was secretly **** him, which seemed to mean:
Don't be afraid, the old man is here!
