After talking to the mother of the original owner of the body, Shen Xing hung up the phone.
Then with Feifei's consent, the two planned to go back to Shen Xing's hometown during the Jingji Festival holiday, which was a city in the same Kuazhou but under the jurisdiction of Qishan City - Laicheng.
Qishan City is about 500 kilometers away from Heshan City, while Yungu City is about 700 kilometers away from Heshan City.
Usually the means of transportation to Yungu City include airplanes and high-speed trains, and Shen Xing planned to take Feifei on a high-speed train, which would save some transportation costs and not take a lot of time.
The most important thing is that the scenery along the way is also very beautiful.
In fact, Shen Xing can't be said to have been reborn. At least he came here after the death of the original owner. He has the memory of the original owner and is equally impressed by the original owner's parents, just like Ye Ting.
His father, Shen Guoli, worked in an automated packaging factory in Laicheng, earning an average monthly salary. His mother, Guo Lirong, opened a very small canteen in her house.
The canteen mainly supplies daily necessities and some food needed in the community.
The old couple raised Shen Xing by pooping and peeing, and Shen Xing remembered most of his childhood experiences very clearly.
Since taking over the body of the original owner, he has never seen his parents. He usually communicates by phone, and he rarely calls back. Basically, the old couple misses their son and will call after dinner.
However, Shen Xing seemed to have some barriers. After chatting for about five or six minutes, he would basically fall into the awkward situation of holding the phone and listening to the other person's breathing.
Perhaps the old couple had already complained quietly over there. The son who had gone out to explore the world gradually became homesick and his relationship seemed to be weakening. Both of them suggested that he return to Laicheng to develop his career.
Besides, if you can’t make wood carvings anywhere, why should you choose Yungu City?
Since Shen Xing lost Ye Ting in this place, it would be better to leave that sad place so that he could go back to honor and take care of his parents.
It's hard for Shen Xing to say anything for this reason. You can't say that you feel alienated, right?
This time I went back to see them, and also took Lin Feifei to let the two elders meet her.
It was impossible to keep the matter of adopting a child secret from the family. According to Shen Guoli's temper in his memory, Shen Xing believed that at most he would scold himself a few times, and at most he would be tough for one day and then calm down the next day.
And Guo Lirong is easier to talk to, because in Shen Xing's memory, Guo Lirong has always liked children, especially well-behaved little girls.
She had complained to Shen Guoli for many times before because she gave birth to a boy.
Of course, this was only something the couple mentioned as a joke after Shen Xing grew up.
In short, I should take this opportunity to meet Feifei and the two elders. This can be regarded as my first meeting with the parents of the original owner.
In the next five days, Shen Xing continued to polish the characters in the Marvel series, and this time he colored each character according to the character image in his previous life memory.
However, Shen Xing knows very well that there are always times when memory is lost, and the color of each character may not be as complete and consistent as the original, but it should at least be roughly consistent.
And he also knew that he only had a few days to complete the Marvel characters in this series, even if his hand speed was extremely fast now, and he would have to add color slowly.
…
Early morning three days later.
Beifeng Town is twelve kilometers outside the northern suburbs of Yungu City.
Beifeng Town is a well-known town because it is relatively close to the city.
Zhuo Datong, who bought Shen Xing's first wooden mask, lived in this town.
Beifeng Town is Zhuo Datong's hometown. Although he had been working in the city when he was young, after his early retirement, he cleaned up the old house again and moved back with his wife in order to return to his roots.
Not long after he came back, his wife began to suffer from illness, which lasted for two years until the family was in debt, and Jiang Guirong finally gave up.
Zhuo Datong, who had been working hard for such a long time, finally had time to rest. He couldn't tell whether it was grief or numbness. He didn't know whether he was relieved after Jiang Guirong left, or whether he was missing something in his heart.
Every day I just sit in the small courtyard of my old house and look at the wooden mask I bought at a huge price from time to time. The more I look at it, the more it looks like Jiang Guirong, as if she is smiling at myself, and all I can think of is when I was young and with my wife. past events.
There is a custom in Beifeng Town. There is no cremation here, and it implements its own special regional policy-burial.
Because the back mountain of Beifeng Town is Beifeng Canyon, and the terrain after passing through the canyon is vast. Although the mountain is slightly undulating, it is very easy to carry out burial methods.
Often after passing through the North Wind Canyon, you can see a large number of countless graves appearing on the side of the mountains behind the canyon.
Jiang Guirong was also buried here, but due to long-term treatment and medication, her family could not afford more money, so her tomb was built relatively simply.
First, we built an earth bag, and erected a tombstone in front of it. The inscription on the inscription was a recent addition. The earth bag was built neatly, with stones neatly stacked one on top of another. Some places that might easily collapse were added with cement. solid.
According to the custom here, the newly built tomb needs to be kept like this temporarily. Only on the Day of the Dead can someone come over to complete and renovate it. It is also at that time that the tomb can reflect the status of the deceased during his lifetime.
Jiang Guirong's tomb is about four kilometers away from the edge of Beifeng Town, and Zhuo Datong's house is right on the edge of Beifeng Town near the canyon, so you can go home without going completely into the center of the town.
In the mornings these days, Zhuo Datong wakes up at six o'clock on time. He washes up and goes to the toilet at about 6:30, and then looks at the portrait of his late wife and the mask and wood carving he bought for a while, and then prepares to go out to buy groceries.
He was very fortunate that although he had been very miserable some time ago and was very strapped for money, fortunately, he could barely pay off his foreign debt through the gifts received from the funeral, and he even got a surprise from Shen Xing, the owner of the woodcarving shop.
Not only did he keep the mask and wood carving for himself, but he also reduced and reduced the amount of money after hearing about his experience.
To be honest, Zhuo Datong was very grateful.
After coming out of the toilet, the sky was slightly brighter. Things in the yard looked a little blurry, but I could basically see things.
Just after Zhuo Datong wiped his wife's portrait and was about to go out to buy groceries, he cast his eyes from the back room to the courtyard of the old house, and then his whole body suddenly shook and he stood there blankly.
In his gaze, a figure was sitting on a wooden chair in the yard, with his upper body upright, like a primary school student who was listening carefully, his hands on his knees, and he seemed to be staring into the room.
Zhuo Datong stood blankly for a few seconds and unconsciously took two steps forward. As he saw the figures in the yard clearly, his body began to tremble uncontrollably. His face turned pale and his lips trembled. Only two words came out of his mouth.
"Guirong?!"
Jiang Guirong, who was wearing a colorful shroud and a sallow complexion, closed her eyes tightly as if she was asleep, facing the direction of Zhuo Datong, indifferent.
Zhuo Datong saw clearly that the person sitting upright was his wife Jiang Guirong, whom he missed in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, he walked out of the yard tremblingly, and then a stench came from the direction of the person in front of him.
He could even see the rotten skin on Jiang Guirong's face.
The other person is still sitting upright, and he doesn't look half alive.
