Because they arrived early, the ceremony had not started, and there was no one at the funeral home. Yu Dong and the others were each holding a small flower basket, and there were several people holding the same flower basket as them.

Yu Hua asked: "Do you know anyone?"

Yu Dong shook his head, Bi Feiyu shook his head, Mo Yan also shook his head, and only Su Tong said: "One of them seems to be the editor of "October"."

"Really?" Mo Yan was a little surprised. He had a good relationship with "October", but he had no impression of the people in front of him.

"He's new there. I only met him last year."

Seeing Yu Dong and the others looking towards them, the three of them also walked over.

"Teacher Su Tong, Teacher Yu Dong, Teacher Yu Hua..."

The three of them knew Yu Dong and several of them.

After asking questions, the three of them introduced themselves.

"I am the book editor of "October", Long Dong, and this is my lover."

"I am Su Bei."

Yu Dong nodded and shook hands with the other party.

After saying hello, no one knew what to say. In such an occasion, it was difficult to find a topic.

Su Bei originally wanted to talk about Wang Zengqi, a person they knew in common, but just as he was about to speak, his eyes turned red.

When Yu Dong and the others were about to comfort him, Su Bei burst into tears, "I was in western Hunan at the time, and it took several days for me to get the news... I had seen him a few days ago..."

Hearing Su Bei crying sadly, Yu Dong and others who had not felt anything at first couldn't help but look at the ground.

In order to divert their attention, Yu Dong and the others were busy reading elegiac couplets and wreaths. They were just busy there without knowing what they were busy with.

Many familiar people came one after another. When Tie Lin first came here, she was fine. But when she saw Yu Dong and the others, she suddenly couldn't hold back anymore and tears started to flow down her face.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tie Lin received a lot of care from Wang Zengqi and always regarded Wang Zengqi as her teacher, so she was very sad when Wang Zengqi passed away.

Wang Meng also came. When he saw Yu Dong and the others, he nodded lightly and said hello. There were more and more people on the scene, and they couldn't take care of each other.

Also here was Zhang Zhaohe, Shen Congwen's wife. This was the first time that Yu Dong met Zhang Zhaohe, who had always been in books before. The old lady was also old, in her eighties or nineties, so it was not easy to come here.

Maybe it's because he's used to seeing life and death, so his expression has always been dull.

However, Fan Yong, who was also used to seeing life and death, behaved completely differently. He came with a stick and burst into tears.

When the hearse arrived, Yu Dong saw the back door of the car open, revealing a long, narrow box, which was also numbered.

Yu Dong and the others followed and walked slowly into the farewell hall. The long box was placed among the flowers and slowly opened, revealing Mr. Wang inside.

The scene that had been quiet for a while immediately erupted into bursts of crying. Teacher Shi was lying next to the ice coffin, bursting into tears. She had been ill for the past two days and looked very haggard.

Next to Wang Lang and his brothers and sisters, they were wiping away tears and supporting their mother.

After the farewell ceremony began, no sad music was played, but a gentle cello music was played.

Cheng Yanqiu told them that this was "The Swan" by Charles Camille Saint-Saëns, which was included in "Carnival of the Animals".

""Carnival of the Animals" was written by Saint-Saëns as a joke. It quoted some tunes from other composers and made some malicious changes. It was full of satire on the original music. Saint-Saëns forbade others to perform these works during his lifetime, but Except "Swan"."
