Chapter 161: Memorial service

"What news?" Yang Tianyou took a breath, always feeling that this was not good news.

Sure enough, Fei Sansheng said a little heavy: "Guan Sheng is dead."

"What?" Yang Tianyou's body trembled and his heart sank. Although he had expected such a thing to happen, Guan Sheng died so soon, Yang Tianyou was still a little sad. Although Guan Sheng did not have much friendship with him, when Guan Sheng asked for his death, he regarded him as a brother. Therefore, Yang Tianyou voted for him, repaid him, and regarded Guan Sheng as a brother. Now that Guan Sheng is dead, he will of course be sad.

"When did it happen?" Yang Tianyou said in a trembling voice.

Fei Sansheng whispered: "This morning, the body has been transported back."

"I want to go and see him." Yang Tianyou said suddenly.

If a person dies, it is appropriate to mourn.

Fei Sansheng nodded and said, "Brother Guan is a man, and I admire him very much. This time he is holding a funeral in Xiamen Towns in Nanjiang County. The memorial service will be held the day after tomorrow. Come with me!"

"Okay!" Yang Tianyou agreed immediately.

...

Nanjiang County is a county under Bazhong City. It takes about an hour to drive from Bazhong to Nanjiang County. Nanjiang is an ecological tourism city in the country, with Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area, and its history and origin every year.

Guan Sheng's hometown is at the east end of the town of Xialiang Town, a three-story villa with three rooms in a row. Guan Sheng has been living in Bazhong for so many years, but he still has some savings. After getting some money, he built a new house in his hometown.

However, Guan Sheng's parents died and he had two sisters. This house was left for his two sisters. Because his family was poor when he was a child, the three siblings had a good relationship. The two sisters had been married for many years, and they had one son and one daughter respectively.

Guan Sheng's body was transported back to his hometown from Chongqing, and a mourning hall was built in the yard on the first floor. The funeral was handled by his two sisters. The four children below were originally not used to be filial sons, but Guan Sheng did not start a family and started a career, so his four nephews were forcibly brought in to be filial sons.

Today is the day of memorial service, but the memorial service in Bazhong is different from that in other places. It is also called "night". It organizes a lunch meal. After all the guests who come to pay their respects come, they don't have to bow to the spirit. They just need to give gifts and sit down for a meal. Early tomorrow morning, they beat gongs and drums to pull Guan Sheng out to find a piece of land to bury him.

In fact, there were many rules for holding funerals in the early years. On the night of "sustaining night", that is, the night before the deceased "up the mountain", they had to open all directions, with gongs and drums beating, and the filial sons held incense. There were many rules, and they had to be tinkered until midnight or dawn. However, the times are improving, and these rules are used less now. Unless the deceased has such last words before his death, generally no one will open all directions, and Guan Sheng has not started a family, so naturally such a ceremony cannot be performed.

When Guan Sheng was in the Axe Gang, he had a group of loyal brothers under him. He was loyal and naturally had a very good relationship with others and was able to fight. The brothers below were even more respectful to him. So after he died, Meigui brought a group of brothers to help with the operation. Guan Sheng's funeral was naturally very lively. Everyone knew his name. Whenever Guan Sheng returned to his hometown, he was very good to his neighbors. Once the neighborhood had a good relationship, everyone would naturally come to pay their respects.

Yang Tianyou brought Abing with him this time. Now Huo Sanquan is busy picking up girls every day. Usually it's okay, Yang Tianyou won't bother him.

Guan Sheng's family is easy to find. It's a funeral. I heard the sound of gongs and drums from afar, and there was still jingling. In addition, Fei Sansheng was leading the way. Fei Sansheng also brought a group of brothers here this time, all of whom were big brothers from the Axe Gang. Qingshe, Qin Zheng and others who recently joined the Axe Gang also came here together.

The underworld in the old city of Bazhong is respected by the skinheads. Now everyone is hard to distinguish and has no time to come here. Most of them have no friendship with Guan Sheng, and they are even considered hostile camps, so these people will not come.

But all the people who are involved in the underworld in Jiangbei have some status and fame.

Yang Tianyou's convoy had more than a dozen cars, and as soon as he stopped, it caused a sensation in the local area.

Guan Sheng is a gangster, and this is an open secret in the two towns. Besides, there are so many strange young people in front of you who help to take care of the funeral, and who can help run away from others. No one wants to get it, that is Guan Sheng’s younger brother.

Now there are so many cars coming at once, hundreds of guests in the courtyard have watched together, and some people have started to discuss it.

"It turns out that being a gangster can have a promising future. Look at the other person, this pomp, tsk!" a man sighed.

The woman beside him immediately glared at him and whispered: "What nonsense do you say? Which one of them has a good result? Look at how old Guan Sheng is, he died before he even asked for his wife. Is it wronged?"

"Tsk, others died of illness, but they were not hacked to death. You are unreasonable!"

"No matter how you die, you don't want to go to society anyway. Stay at home for me. Otherwise, I'll divorce you!"

"Oh, look, that's Guan Sheng's brother who is here to pay his respects."

"So majestic!"

"Guan Sheng is a kid with good popularity. Look at him dead, and there are so many people coming!"

...

Fei Sansheng was the first to get off the car, followed by Yang Tianyou and Abing, and the three of them, along with some leaders of the Axe Gang, lined up in a long line and walked towards the mourning hall set up in the courtyard. Some of the younger brothers followed, and at the end, a group of younger brothers took out firecrackers and fireworks from the car, and piled them on the side of the road and set off.

Immediately, the sound of cannons rumbled and deafening, and many people covered their ears. The scene was so big that it was probably costing thousands of dollars for those firecrackers and fireworks.

These are all bought by this group of brothers who took the initiative to pay for it. If this person dies, he will be buried in a grand manner!

Amid the sound of cannons, Yang Tianyou and Fei Sansheng came to the front of the spirit together, followed by a group of people, arranged in several rows according to status and fame, and bowed together. The guests were watching the fun. Apart from the sound of firecrackers, there were only two sets of gongs and drums located next to the mourning hall.

The mourning hall was set up very well. In the past, cypress branches were used to build a arch shape and a large white flower was tied on it. Now it is different. All the arches made in front of the mourning hall were blown by blowing the wind with blowers. The materials used in the mourning hall were still black cloth. There was a good coffin inside the mourning hall, and there were white flowers on the top of the coffin. There were several children kneeling outside, all of whom were only seven or eight years old, all wearing mourning clothes.

Guan Sheng's two sisters and brother-in-law came to greet him. After the group bowed, the two brother-in-law came to hand in the cigarettes and thanked him. Each brother took the cigarette. Regardless of whether they smoked or not, they would go ahead first. This is also etiquette.

The host asked everyone to find a place to sit down and rest, saying that they could also sit upstairs, but Yang Tianyou and Fei Sansheng still took a group of people to a corner of the courtyard to hang gifts, and then they stood scattered and watched the fun.

A brother from the Axe Gang came to greet him. Fei Sansheng called a brother aside. After asking about some things, he sat down with Yang Tianyou in the living room on the second floor, and another brother helped pour boiling water.

It's a hot day now, and it's a little hot outside. It's much more comfortable with air conditioning.

Not long after a group of people sat down, a brother hurried over and smiled bitterly as soon as he saw Fei Sansheng, "Brother Sansheng, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Fei Sansheng was stunned and frowned.

The brother said anxiously: "Sister Gui has to go and mourn the second master now. How can you say this be in compliance with the rules? She is not the second master's wife. When she goes there, she has spread her reputation and is not good to her. If the fifth master finds out, she will not be angry to death!"

Yang Tianyou was stunned and couldn't smile bitterly. This rose is really infatuated. How old is it, and you are still happy with this?

"Let's go and have a look!" Fei Sansheng said to Yang Tianyou.

Yang Tianyou nodded, and the two of them went from the stairs to the third floor together. Fei Sansheng called Wu Ye on the way.

When we arrived at the living room on the third floor, Rose Fruit was already wearing mourning clothes. Now, Guan Sheng’s two sisters stopped him and persuaded him. Four or five brothers from the Axe Gang stood at the door with headaches. They probably were a little afraid of Rose Fruit. However, as soon as they saw Fei Sansheng coming, the brothers who blocked the door immediately looked happy and came to greet them together.

Fei Sansheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You guys go out first, don't let someone come in."

Several brothers went out together, and Fei Sansheng asked Guan Sheng’s two sisters to go out together. Only Fei Sansheng, Yang Tianyou and Meigui were left in the living room.

As soon as Rose saw Fei Sansheng, she immediately frowned and said stubbornly: "Don't come and persuade me, I'll do it."

"I know you were voluntary, but have you ever thought that your way would make us lose face? Do you think you are the same as other brothers? We are also sad when Brother Guan left, but do you think it is valuable to do this now?" Fei Sansheng said earnestly.

Rose snorted coldly and said, "This has nothing to do with the gang, it is my own private matter. I am his woman. Although we are not real couples, our relationship has surpassed that of couples. When he dies, I should wear mourning for him, which is also what I should do!"

"Nonsense!" Fei Sansheng had never been as angry as today, and glared at Meigui fiercely: "What does it mean to have nothing to do with the gang? You are a member of the Axe Gang, so you have to obey the management of our gang."

"Then what do you want if I don't listen to you?" Meigui narrowed his eyes. His eyes were actually swollen. I don't know if it was because of the swelling of crying behind his back or because he hadn't had a good sleep during this period. When he squinted, Yang Tianyou felt a little distressed.

Rose's strength and stubbornness made the atmosphere at the scene tense suddenly. She and Fei Sansheng were almost tit-for-tat, and Yang Tianyou seemed to have a feeling that Rose and Fei Sansheng had not had a harmonious relationship.

"Forget it, don't argue anymore. Rose, people cannot be resurrected by death. I think if Brother Guan had a spirit in heaven, he wouldn't want you like this, otherwise he would have been with you long ago." Yang Tianyou advised.

Rose seemed very angry and suddenly cursed at Yang Tianyou: "Don't care about your affairs, Yang Tianyou, you don't need to worry about my man's affairs. It's not your turn to take care of our gang's affairs. You can go out for me!"

Yang Tianyou was stunned and suddenly a little confused. Grandma, I am here to persuade me to fight, not to ask for scolding. Do you think you are a filial son and care about my affairs!

Seeing that Yang Tianyou's face turned red and his angry expression, Fei Sansheng's face became even more ugly, and he shouted to Meigui: "Why are you talking to Brother Tian?"

"He is not from our gang. Gui sneered at me and glared at Yang Tianyou with a slightly flash of eyes.

Unfortunately, Yang Tianyou did not pay attention to the change in Rose's eyes and sneered: "I'm too lazy to care about you, hum!"

Just as he was about to leave, Fei Sansheng's phone rang and answered. Fei Sansheng called twice, then handed the phone to Rose and said, "Fifth Master's phone number, he wants to talk to you!"

"You actually told him such a small thing?!" Rose's face turned green with anger.

Fei Sansheng rolled his eyes and squeezed at Yang Tianyou.

Although Meigui was dissatisfied, he answered the fifth master's call. After hanging up the phone, he snorted coldly, threw the phone to Fei Sansheng, and then took off the thread on his head and the white veil on his sleeve.

Obviously, Rose has been dissuaded by the fifth master.

However, Rose still had no good temper towards Yang Tianyou and Fei Sansheng, and turned around and cursed: "You can get out!"

Yang Tianyou didn't say anything, nor did he care about Rose, so he turned around and went out, and Fei Sansheng followed him out.

"Don't be angry with her, she's just like that!" Fei Sansheng said to Yang Tianyou.

Yang Tianyou smiled and said, "I understand, she is in a bad mood now."

Guansheng's courtyard has a large area, and eight dining tables are still very spacious. At noon, guests will take turns to sit.

No matter whether it is a funeral or a wedding, it is the same crowded when eating the banquet. There are too many guests, and there are eighty people sitting in a round. It is estimated that ten rounds will take to make everyone have lunch.

So the first round started to grab the table. Before the seat was removed, there was a person standing behind you. As soon as you got off the seat, someone would sit up immediately and wait for the second round to start.

This is also a major feature of Bazhong, which is called "sitting for seats", and Yang Tianyou is very accustomed to this.

However, the situation today is a bit special. Because Fei Sansheng and his brothers are all mixed in the underworld, they are still a little scruple for ordinary people. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, those who are mixed in society are moody and vicious.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, Yang Tianyou and Fei Sansheng and other brothers were having dinner together, and they were not crowded at all. As soon as they stood at the head of the courtyard, no one dared to rob them.

After having a meal with peace of mind, Yang Tianyou was about to return to the city, but Guan Sheng's second sister suddenly found Yang Tianyou, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Brother Tian——"

"Do you know me?" Yang Tianyou was stunned. He looked at Guan Sheng's second sister, with a little confused look on his face.

Guan Sheng's second sister nodded and then said, "Rose asked you to go to the third floor. Don't take anyone, just go there alone, don't let others pay attention to you."

Yang Tianyou was shocked and a little confused.

I was so fierce to us just now, but now I'm looking for myself again. What do Rose wants to do?
