Chapter 525 Faces

When Bei Hai walked out of the car, he was shocked by the crowd at the church door.

The farewell meeting for the body was held at the old man’s nearest St. John’s Church, and Bethae had already set off from the old man’s house at 7 o’clock in the morning.

I originally thought that I had arrived early, but when I arrived at the church door, I realized that I was not as early as possible.

St. John's Church is a small chapel, and the entire church is only a few hundred square meters small. In fact, it is just a long-bedroom stone church building. It does not look luxurious on the outside and is similar to many small chapels in the countryside.

However, now the entrance of the church and the small road leading to the church are full of cars. When Bei Hai got off the car, he turned his head casually and saw someone driving away. Someone just got off the car like himself. After glanced at Bei Hai, he guessed who left and who had just arrived. It was very simple. The person who had just arrived had a bouquet of flowers, big or small, while the person who had left had no shadow of flowers.

Bei Hai sorted out his suit, took out a bouquet of flowers from the back seat of the car and walked along the flow of people towards the church door.

Whether you know each other or not, small towns always have a warm feeling that big cities cannot compare to, that is, as long as everyone meets their eyes, you will always get the other person’s smile response. Bei Hai is also like this. Someone keeps nodding to him and nodding to others.

Entering from the church gate, you can see the old man's coffin at the very bottom of the church. Then you see that the coffin is filled with flowers, bunches gathered together, and the old man's coffin is densely packed.

They lined up quietly and moved slowly with the slow line. After about ten minutes, Bei Hai "walked" to the front of the old man's coffin.

This is the first time that Bei Hai attended the funeral of Westerners. Although I have watched it on TV before, it is not as good as the one who came on site.

Old George's coffin is a two-open one. Bei Hai didn't know what the professional term is. To put it bluntly, it means that the lid of the coffin is one or two pieces. Each section can be opened alone. Now the old guy's coffin lid is only opened at the top half of it, and the old man is lying in the coffin like he is asleep. The white fabric in the interior of the coffin makes the old guy look more peaceful and peaceful.

Bei Hai reached out and gently held the edge of the coffin, put a Fijian-colored wooden carving in his hand on the left side of the old man's body. The wood carving was an indigenous-style fruit-body woman, the kind of woman with big breasts and big butts. Except for her body shape, it may be a bit inconsistent with the old man's eyes, the others are all in line with the old man's taste.

It is obvious that it is not only Bei Hai who knows Old George, because before Bei Hai's square wood carving, there were three bottles of whiskey in the coffin, and each of the old man puts a red wine on his hands. Although the old man is not able to hug the beauty, hugging the red wine is a good choice. Bei Hai thinks that the old man should be very satisfied.

"The funeral is good!" Bei Hai held the coffin and looked at the old man's remains for almost a minute before he said that, after saying that, he asked the people behind him to come over. Bei Hai put down the flowers in his hand next to him.

After visiting the remains of Bei Hai, he was greeted by the funeral host and sat down in the front row. The first row should be the old man's close people. However, the old man seemed to have no relatives or sons, and even his age, his parents would not be there. As for his nephews and nieces, there might be some, but Bei Hai had never heard from the old man.

Thinking of this, Bei Hai couldn't help but turn his head back. After this turn, Bei Hai really saw two or three groups of people sitting in the back row, which were different from others.

The women in these groups seemed to be very sad when they were very sad. The adult man seemed to be a little calmer, but the teenagers around him were not sad at all. Although they were wearing black clothes and black pants, they looked a little impatient on their faces.

Scandals from these groups of people. Bei Hai lowered his head and asked at the butler of Old George next to him, "Who is there with his whole family?"

"Old George's nephew and nephew," the housekeeper glanced at it and said directly: "I rarely contacted me in the past, but now they all appear one by one."

"Oh!" Bei Hai didn't say anything more and then he turned his attention to the old man. From Bei Hai's seat, you could see half of the old man's face and a gray beard.

Just as Bei Hai was in deep thought, he suddenly heard the butler beside him say something.

"Why is she here?"

Following the old butler's sight, Bei Hai saw a man about thirty years old. The man was dressed in an average manner, looking a bit like a homeless man carrying half a bottle of cheap wine in his hand. He poured it into his mouth while walking, and then walked towards the coffin staggeringly.

Without anyone introducing him, Bei Hai guessed that the illegitimate son of Old George! Because this man was almost poured out of the same mold as Old George lying in the coffin.

Bei Hai stood up because he saw the man's eyes that he wanted to stop him, but as soon as he stood up, he was pulled by the butler. While holding Bei Hai, he shook his head gently at Bei Hai.

"Don't stop it? He drank a little too much!" Bei Hai did not sit down but bent down and asked softly at the butler.

The butler said softly: "Old George has documents left. If Flo appears at the funeral, don't stop him. Everything!" After saying that, the butler deliberately emphasized anything.

After hearing what old George had to say, Bei Hai sat down. In Bei Hai's consciousness, it was family between father and son, and no matter how he said he could only be considered an outsider.

But Bei Hai was very strange. Neither Old George nor anyone else had mentioned to him that there was such a character. His mind was twisting and his eyes naturally fell on the person who came in.

Bei Hai seemed to have more worries. Flo stood about one meter in front of Old George's coffin and stood there swayingly. He bowed like a slight sip of wine when he got up. Flo raised his hand and gently wiped the wine flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and then lay on the edge of the coffin, looking up at the old guy in the coffin and motionless.

All the people holding flowers looked at the person next to the coffin and looked at the person holding the coffin. It was obvious that many people, like Bei Hai, did not know the existence of this person, and everyone was not blind. The person's appearance was as good as they didn't need to test DNA. In this way, everyone stopped. Some people looked at the person holding the coffin and some were worried that this person would do something extraordinary to the body of Old George.

After watching for about five or six minutes, there was no sound in the entire church during this period, even the needles on the ground could be heard.

Furro raised his head and looked at Christ directly in front of him, sucked his nose twice, then wiped his arms on his face twice, and then reached out to touch him in his pocket. After touching for a while, Bei Hai saw what he wanted to take, a bottle cap!

Flo twisted the bottle cap to the bottle that he had drunk halfway through, then gently put the bottle into the gap in the old George's right ear, then bent down and turned over and kissed the old man's side face. He gently said a few words to the old man's ear in a slightly unaudible tone. Flo turned around and left like this.

Then, under the eyes of the audience, Old George's lawyer stood up and gently buttoned up and stood in the passage by the wall. He watched Flo leave the church before following him.

With this episode, Bei Hai couldn't help but look at the families sitting in the back row. It can be said that the faces of these families had much more expressions than before. The sadness on the women's faces had disappeared and their eyes were wide open. The men's faces were even more exciting. Although they wanted to show their calmness, Bei Hai still looked at the waves in their hearts through their eyes.

When the farewell ceremony officially began, the pastor stood by and said a few words, and then some people spoke, talking about the life of Old George or the impression of everyone about him.

There were praises and criticisms. The few who spoke did not only say good things because Old George's coffin was right next to him. He loved drinking and chasing young and beautiful girls were all taken out by these people and joked a few times. However, what everyone said most was what kind of good deeds Old George did and what changes he brought to the people around him.

The whole formal farewell ceremony was just over thirty minutes, and the last forty minutes ended. Bei Hai and a few young people carried the old man's coffin to the cemetery. The cemetery was not far from the church and walked in less than five minutes. It was not a problem for six big guys to carry coffins. Of course, the coffins of foreigners were much lighter than those in China. The six people in China probably were really troublesome.

The burial ceremony was even simpler. After the pastor said a few words, everyone took turns to pick up the shovel next to him and shoveled the soil and covered it with fresh fish. Each person quickly completed the entire ceremony with one shovel.

Bei Hai followed the butler and when he arrived by the car, he was about to talk when he heard the lawyer coming over and saying to him: "Mr. Bei, please go back to the house with me."

Seeing Bei Hai was surprised, the lawyer explained: "When we went to the bank safe to get the will this morning, the will was appointed to you to be present before you could read it. You are the supervisor of the execution of the will."

When Bei Hai heard that there was still this person, he didn't say much and nodded and got in the car!

Waiting for Bei Hai to arrive at Old George's house, not long after sitting down, I heard that the surroundings began to be lively, and more than a dozen old men were yelling outside the door.

Wonderful! After listening to it for a few minutes, Bei Hai felt that he had met today. A group of people outside the door were waiting to listen to Old George's will. Needless to say, everyone was hoping for his uncle, who could leave him with wealth that he would never have ever seen in his life. Some of them even shouted the slogan that he would always give him something.
