- It is appropriate to be buried on September 15th. Chen Huaixiu chose this day to lay his late husband to rest.
It was a gloomy day, and Sansha Island was completely white.
Amid the shrill sound of the suona, the long funeral procession stretched for several miles from Haisha Town to Majiadun.
At the head of the team are eight red flags, four dragon-headed gongs, four red umbrellas for sun protection, and four green fans. There are also the Golden Melon Axe, Chaotian Deng, Crane Boy and Tiger Punisher, and the two path-breaking ghosts wearing helmets and armor with ferocious faces.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the back are the band playing the pipes and drums, followed by the two elders carrying the soul-drawing flags, and the eight hall masters holding mourning sticks. Further back, there is Gang Leader Chen supported by Huniu and a woman.
Chen Huaixiu was full of filial piety and wept endlessly. Behind him were sixteen dark, strong men, carrying Nanmu's large coffin.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Zhao Hao and Jin Xuezeng both wore white official suspenders They replaced the round-neck official robes with white silk robes. The other black gauze hats, leather belts, and soap boots did not need to be replaced.
Amidst the sound of sad music, Zhao Hao looked at the endless team and said softly: "This Shachuan Gang is really big."
"Yes, this is why people from the other two towns are waiting in Majiadun." Jin Xuezeng said with deep understanding: "Now there are more than 70,000 people in the county, and they account for more than half."
"Then you hope they will move away?" Zhao Hao curled his lips. "Officials only have the people. The people have moved away. Are you going to be a mere county magistrate?"
"Isn't that a broken jar?" Jin Xuezeng said with a smile: "Master is here, of course I have to keep them all."
"This time Gang Leader Chen has made up his mind." Zhao Hao's eyes fell on the nanmu coffin. Recalling the strange scene that night, he couldn't help but shuddered and said: "Let Gang Leader Shen be buried at this time. Let the whole gang know that she has decided to stay.¡±
"Yeah." Jin Xuezeng nodded and said, "This woman is not simple."
"Nonsense." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at him and stopped talking.

Chongming Island is formed by silt deposits, and naturally has no mountains or rocks. Majiadun is the only highland in Sansha.
It is actually a slightly raised earth mound.
The ancestral graves of the Shen family are here.
The auspicious hole has been dug long ago. It is a large hole about one foot deep.
The inside was built with strips of stone, and all the burial items were put away.
This is already the most solemn tomb on the island.
"The auspicious time has come, let's send the leader off on his way!" Elder Niu, who served as the deacon, mooed.
Elder Ma killed a black dog on the spot, poured the warm black dog's blood into a bowl, and sprinkled it around the tomb. Its purpose is to dispel evil spirits so that the soul resting here will not be disturbed by wild gods and wild ghosts.
The person who spilled the blood must be a close relative of the deceased. It was supposed to be Xiao Teng's task, but he was still ill and couldn't bear the trouble. Elder Ma spilled the blood on his behalf.
When the last drop of dog blood fell to the ground, he threw the big porcelain bowl heavily on the coffin lid and broke it.
With a click, Elder Niu sang loudly again:
"Farewell, Gang Leader!"
The voice was low and desolate, and the nearly a thousand Shen family members and all the gang members around them, like wheat swept by the spring breeze, all knelt down.
The black men carrying the coffin slowly lifted the coffin.
Chen Huaixiu rushed forward, hugged the coffin and burst into tears. He was forcefully taken away by Huniu and the lady.
"Bow down!"
The gang members all put their foreheads on the ground, like white chrysanthemums blooming on the ground, swaying in the autumn wind.
"Two thanks!"
The coffin fell steadily into the tomb. The demonic wind rose again, causing Mr. Zhao's face to hurt, so he quickly lowered his head obediently.
"Three obeisances!"
The sound of wind, crying, flags and flags pulled by the wind, and the irrepressible sound of suonas spread the desolate and sad atmosphere throughout the wilderness.
??~~
After the funeral, everyone returned to Haisha Town and drank the antidote. The sun had already set to the west.
Zhao Hao and Jin Xuezeng returned to the guest room arranged by the Shachuan Gang, and Jiang Xueying was also there.
She followed them to Sansha, but the girl¡¯s family did not go to the funeral, so they waited in the town.
After the two of them changed out of their hanging clothes and washed themselves, Xiaohu came over to invite the distinguished guests to have dinner at Gang Leader Shen's house.
The three of them followed Xiaohu to the house where Zhao Hao and Li Shizhen had seen a doctor last time.
Gang leader Chen also replaced the important one?, resumed her plain white clothes, saluted the three distinguished guests first, said hello poorly, and then thanked Zhao Hao again.
"Sister Gang Leader is so kind." Mr. Zhao was wearing a royal blue silk robe and a Tang scarf with soft wings. He could not be described as wealthy and leisurely.
"By the way, is your little brother feeling better?"
"I miss you, Mr. Lao. Xiao Teng is well now. He hasn't cried anymore in the past few days, and his face looks much better." Chen Huaixiu said gratefully: "Young Master's kindness is like the ocean, and Huaixiu will never be able to repay it."
"There is no need to say any more words of thanks." Mr. Zhao opened the folding fan with a swipe and wrote seven elegant characters, "Helping others is the foundation of happiness."
"Let's eat quickly, we're all starving."
Chen Huaixiu¡¯s mouth twitched, obviously not used to Young Master Zhao¡¯s off-line style.
She hurriedly invited Zhao Hao and the others to sit down at the table. She did not call the second elder Niu Ma, and she was the only one accompanying the guests.
¡°Obviously, I want to test the tone of Zhao Hao and the county first.
During the dinner, the two women, one of whom was underage, did not drink and finished their dinner quickly.
After Huniu put away the bowls and chopsticks and put on the tea cups, Chen Huaixiu took the initiative and asked: "I wonder if there is anything that I need the Haisha Gang to cooperate with next? Please tell me, Master."
Zhao Hao and Jin Xuezeng looked at each other and said to themselves that this woman was really a gang leader. Even in such a passive and weak situation, he refused to show his timidity.
"But Mr. Zhao has never liked wrangling in negotiations. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
¡°I am known as ¡®busy with nothing to do¡¯. What can I do to be serious? I¡¯d better ask the county magistrate to tell me.¡±
"Master is joking." Jin Xuezeng immediately cooperated: "This disciple hopes that this broken county will be evacuated quickly, so that he can lose this black yarn and go back to study with the master."
Seeing that the two people were speaking more harshly than the other, Chen Huaixiu knew that her guardedness made people unhappy.
She sighed secretly, stood up, apologized and changed her words: "The Haisha Gang has no retreat. I would like to ask the young master and my old parents to point out a clear path."
Jiang Xue faced peace and tranquility, but she secretly smiled in her heart. It¡¯s not your fault, big brother, that you are pretending to be young all day long. How can others not give it a try and see if they can get some initiative?
¡®This is the right attitude. ¡¯ Mr. Zhao smiled slightly, gently shook his folding fan and said, ¡°If Sister Gang Leader wants to ask you this question, then I¡¯ll just say it, and you can just listen to it.¡±
"Master, please speak." Chen Huaixiu hurriedly made a gesture of listening.
"These days, I have been looking around the sandbanks in Chongming and asked some professionals." Mr. Zhao said confidently: "I have basically figured out the cause of the collapse of the Chongming sandbank, and I have a general idea of ????remediation."
In fact, he accompanied his sister to the sandbank to watch the birds. As for professionals Is there anyone more professional than Mr. Zhao in the world?
"To put it bluntly, the river currents and sea tides are so fierce that the sandbar cannot withstand it, so it will continue to lose money. So there is nothing to say, but we need to overhaul the seawall and build enemy dams to prevent the sandbar from collapsing!"
