Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 151

[Chapter 151 Lazy Sanniang (9)]

Amidst the beating of gongs and drums, Lan San’s mother’s family was holding a white wedding. Speaking of which, it was either comforting or ironic. People’s ability to accept reality is too low, and they have to find various excuses to comfort themselves, such as The death of a person is obviously a sad event, but it should be said to be a happy event? Where does hi come from? There is a more Zen-like speech. Buddhists have a cloud. To live is to suffer in the next world. After experiencing all kinds of emotional kalpas, and then having an epiphany, breaking out of the sea of suffering, and attaining bliss early. Therefore, the death of the old man can be seen as a search for a better way to live.

Lan Sanniang doesn’t think so. Although she rarely thinks about this issue, she doesn’t believe what happens after someone dies. Therefore, there is an indescribable sadness, not because of being slapped on the face by her brother. The pain, the kind of pain in the heart, makes people unable to cry, or she is still too lazy to cry. After turning around silently, Lan Sanniang left the house without anyone noticing. She walked aimlessly by herself, looking at the village and the animals. It was an unfamiliar scene. In the past ten or twenty years, she hardly bothered to leave the house. , never had a good look at this place.

Daniel was the first to find out that Lan Sanniang was gone. After handing over his affairs to others, he chased after him, sweating profusely.

“Sanniang, where are you going?”

“I don’t know.” Lan Sanniang replied indifferently, her eyes blank.

Daniel wiped the sweat with his hands and smiled hehely: “Sanniang, it’s a hot day, don’t run outside, you’ll get heatstroke, let’s go back.”

“I don’t want to go back.”

“Look… today is When the uncle goes to another world, let’s not cause trouble to the family, go back, okay?” Daniel pleaded.

Lan Sanniang still shook her head and whispered, “I won’t go back.”

“Sanniang…”

“Da Niu…” This is the first time that Lan Sanniang has called Da Niu. Looking directly at Daniel, she didn’t understand what hard work was. She had only heard of it from other people’s mouths. She didn’t have it, but Daniel had it, so she asked, “Am I lazy?”

“…” Da Niu opened his mouth and hurriedly said, “How come, you are not lazy at all.” If this sentence comes from other people’s mouth, it may indicate that this person is not sincere, However, Daniel said this sentence is another meaning, the kind of stupidity that likes a person and will not care about all the shortcomings of the other party, maybe only an honest person like Daniel can have it.

Lan Sanniang shook her head, walked forward on her own, and walked to a jujube tree. The leaves of the jujube tree were wilted, and she had no spirit, just like Lan Sanniang. Daniel saw that Lan Sanniang didn’t mean to stop, and he couldn’t persuade him. He thought that Lan Sanniang was just in a bad mood, and maybe he would go back in a while, so he went back to Lan Sanniang’s house by himself first and helped with the funeral. .

Lan Sanniang doesn’t care so much. The sound of suona and drums at home always echoed in her ears, as well as the cries of her family. Lan Sanniang felt that they all looked sad, the sadness she had never seen before, or It was the first time that she understood what sadness was, but she still couldn’t understand why she was so lazy, why she was so lazy to be so annoying. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Lan Sanniang walked to a well at the edge of the village. The well was the well that the villagers depended on for a living. Usually, everyone fetched water there. One well supported the whole village. It is strange to say that this well is actually warm in winter and cool in summer. In winter, the sailors who hit it can feel warm to the touch. In summer, standing by the well can feel the cool air. , Lazy Sanniang suddenly had an idea…
