Chapter 881: with translation of chapter title

Ya Ling loudly said: "Brother, Dean Yang, may I say a sentence?"

Dean Yang looked at Ya Ling and said: "Speak."

"Dean Yang, thank you for taking care of Shi Yong."

"My brother, he's already delirious."

"Listen to me, Dean Yang, give up rescuing Shi Yong,"

"Don't waste any more money."

"I am his wife, I have the right to make this decision."

"If you don't want to pull the tubes, I'll do it."

"Because Shi Yong said he didn't want to live with tubes all over his body at the end."

"I agreed, and my brother agreed too."

"You agree, right, brother?" Ya Ling said, then looked at me again.

"I nodded, painful and helpless."

"After hearing Ya Ling finish, Dean Yang nodded with relief."

"Because he's accustomed to life and death in the hospital."

"So Dean Yang speaks more rationally."

"My mind is now a blank,"

"Really confused,"

"Just now chatting with Shi Yong was very happy,"

"How could he leave so quickly?"

"I somewhat don't believe it."

"I looked at Dean Yang and asked directly: 'Dean Yang, just now I was talking with Shi Yong, he was still smoking and drinking, he couldn't possibly be like this.'"

"Dean Yang shook his head and said: 'Shi Yong brother is experiencing a final rally.'"

"He used his last bit of strength to talk with you."

"Jianqiang, you need to stay calm now."

"Ya Ling, are you really willing to give up treatment?" Yang Tao asked Ya Ling again.

"Ya Ling firmly nodded."

"Dean Yang sighed at this moment,"

"'Let's go, follow me inside,"

"we need to sign documents; go take one last look at Shi Yong."

"Ya Ling then followed Dean Yang into the resuscitation room."

"At this moment I was trembling all over; Zhengzheng supported me, too frightened to speak."

"After Ya Ling signed and came out,"

"she cried and told me: 'Brother, Shi Yong has left; he was happy, he left smiling.'"

"Hearing Ya Ling's words,"

"I burst into tears,"

"then collapsed to the ground, lifeless."

"Dean Yang quickly sent people to rescue me."

"I don't know how long I slept before waking up,"

"In my daze, I saw Shi Yong walking toward me with strong steps,"

"He glanced at me proudly, deliberately whistling,"

"the whistle we often used at the construction site,"

"then strode away."

"I reached out, wanting to grab him, but couldn't."

"Shi Yong really left."

"He left without looking back."

"At this moment, I opened my eyes and saw sitting before my bed,"

"Shi Jinghe, Xiao Shitou, Sun Dajun, and others."

"They saw me wake up,"

"Shi Jinghe happily said: 'Brother, you finally woke up. You scared us to death.'"

"I shook my head,"

"'Alas, I want to go with Brother Shi Yong.'"

"'Don't scare us."

"'Brother, I know you don't want to part with Shi Yong brother, but there's nothing we can do.'"

"'This is fate.' Shi Jinghe comforted."

"I nodded,"

"'Where is Shi Yong now? Did Zhengzheng see him off?'"

"'Shi Yong has already gone to the crematorium for cremation; Zhengzheng and Ya Ling accompanied him.' Shi Jinghe said."

"'I also want to see my brother off on his final journey. Jinghe, pull out the needle.' I said to Shi Jinghe."

"'Brother, given your condition, you'd better not go.'"

"'I'm worried you'll faint again.' Shi Jinghe worried."

Nothing's wrong, don't worry, Brother Shi Yong already said, he won't let me follow him, I won't follow him.

"If you don't pull it out, I will." I then wanted to forcefully pull out the IV needle on my hand.

"Brother, don't move around, I'll have the nurse pull it out, okay?" Shi Jinhe hurriedly had someone call the nurse.

Pull out the IV needle on my hand.

With Xiao Shitou supporting me, I forced myself to stand up.

Xiao Shitou and Sun Dajun were supporting me.

Then we all went together to the crematorium to see Brother Shi Yong off on his final journey.

When we arrived, Brother Shi Yong had already been cremated. Zhengzheng was holding the box, and was carrying out a simple memorial service according to He Zuming's arrangements.

After He Zuming saw me arrive,

he hurried over quickly.

"Jianqiang, does Brother Shi Yong have any other requests?"

"Mr. He, there's nothing left."

I had talked a lot with Shi Yong, and he just wanted to keep things simple.

"By the way, did Zhengzheng call out the route for him?" I asked.

"Already called."

"Simple is fine, then that's good."

"We'll place it in the memorial hall for a while, then go straight to the burial ground." He Zuming then began arranging for Xiao Yan to prepare the things needed for the burial ground.

Watching Zhengzheng hold Shi Yong's ashes box,

On top of the box was placed a smiling photo of Shi Yong.

My tears came down.

But I didn't cry out loud,

because Shi Yong had specifically said he didn't want to hear crying when seeing him off.

I held back, not letting my tears fall.

Xiao Yan and He Zuming had almost finished packing up the things,

then Shi Jinhe drove them,

Xiao Shitou drove me, Ya Ling, Sun Dajun and the others,

we headed toward Beishan.

Upon arriving at Beishan, Li Jia and Cui Chengshan were already waiting for us.

"Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect Shi Yong to leave me so soon." Li Jia said to me.

"Yeah, there are many things, not that we can't think of them." I said helplessly.

"Let's go, we're going up the mountain. Jianqiang, this afternoon at four o'clock is the auspicious time.

"Let's hurry." He Zuming said to me.

I nodded, indicating that Zhengzheng should walk ahead holding Shi Yong's photo.

At this moment Ya Ling was holding the ashes box.

Our group silently walked toward Beishan.

No one cried, no one spoke. Even the sky at that moment was silent, not even a sparrow's chirp.

We had walked for about an hour when we finally reached the burial site He Zuming had chosen. At this point, Shi Jinhe had already arranged for people to dig the grave.

Since it was just an ashes box, the grave dug wasn't particularly large.

"Shi Yong, you're home." I stood beside the grave and said loudly.

"Shi Yong, look, this is your new home." Ya Ling also said.

He Zuming had Zhengzheng carry Shi Yong's photo and circle the grave once.

Then he put the photo down.

He Zuming, supported by Xiao Yan, descended into the grave and symbolically swept with a broom,

After sweeping, Xiao Yan brought a rooster,

He Zuming twisted off the rooster's head in one motion,

blood flowed from the rooster's neck,

He Zuming walked around the grave once, then threw the rooster out of the grave.

Next, they placed an eternal lamp and goldfish, as well as some of Shi Yong's personal belongings.

His cell phone, wallet, clothing, etc., all needed to be placed inside.

After everything was placed, Zhengzheng then took the ashes box from Ya Ling's hands,

and placed it into the grave.

He Zuming then came up and personally checked the position of the ashes box.

After adjusting it, he had Zhengzheng kneel and kowtow.

Zhengzheng did exactly as instructed.

At this moment He Zuming came over again to let me see Shi Yong's grave,

"Jianqiang, take a look, is there anything unsatisfactory?"

I shook my head,

"No, I believe Brother Shi Yong will be pleased, so everyone has come to see him off."

"Brother Shi Yong is honest and simple, a very good person,

Brother Shi Yong, go forth in peace, in heaven you will become a god,

No longer will I bear the sins of the mortal world.

"Alright, Jinghe, bury the earth," He Zuming said.

Shi Jinhe took the spade,

handed it to Zhengzheng,

Zhengzheng, on behalf of the filial son, first buried three shovelfuls of earth.

After receiving it, Zhengzheng forcefully threw the earth into the tomb,

"First bury gold, second bury silver, third bury the junior to bring forth a noble," He Zuming murmured.

I did not dare to open my eyes and watch,

I felt the soil in Zhengzheng's spade sprinkle onto me.

A little bit of burial upon me.

Ya Ling had specifically instructed that no one be allowed to cry,

Everyone tried their best not to shed tears.

Thus, we calmly sent Shi Yong away.

Finally, He Zuming began to arrange for Xiao Shitou, Sun Dajun, and others to burn joss paper for Shi Yong,

At that moment, as the paper burned, a plume of black smoke rose among the mountains.

He Zuming then took a wine bottle and began pouring wine around the burning paper,

He loudly intoned, "The heavens and earth cycle, all things live and breathe, unaware of the span from birth to death.

The departed should know that coming is not truly coming, and leaving is not truly leaving.

Do not cling to an inch of land in the countryside, do not cherish a single strand of feeling among mortals.

May today's burial grant the flesh eternal rest…."
