Su’s Funeral Company.
As the Suona knowledge and skills continued flowing into him, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes. In just a moment, he had mastered the Suona related skills and knowledge. He had even received a song from the system, “A hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix!”
Perhaps it was because he was estranged from traditional culture before, but now that he had the Suona-related information in his mind, Su Chen finally grasped a concept of the phrase, “A hundred musical instruments, the Suona is the king.”.
The Suona could be used for weddings, weddings, ceremonies, ceremonies, and many other occasions. What he had received was only a short stroke of the Suona’s cultural long story, the Suona funeral!
The song that the system had given him was the extremely famous Suona song, “A hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix!”
The 915 volumes of the imperial view of Taiping quoted the Tang Book:
The Haizhou Phoenix was seen in the city, and hundreds of birds followed, flying northeast toward Cangwu Mountain.
The song was like a poem.
If it were an ordinary person, they would not be worthy of this song.
Only those who were respected and revered by the public would be worthy of this song!
…
The next day, while Su Chen was sorting out Chu Guozhong’s information at the company, the phone rang again!
He was stunned and immediately went forward to pick up the phone.
Usually, the people who called the company were customers.
He did not dare to be negligent.
“Hello, this is Su’s Funeral Company. We specialize in receiving funeral services!”
He was becoming more and more familiar with the spoken language of the business.
On the other end of the phone, a young voice sounded:
“Hello, I saw your package online. I want to buy a funeral service!”
Su Chen was a little surprised. From the sound of the voice, it seemed to be a young girl. She did not seem to be sick.
Why would such a young person want to buy a funeral service?
However, he quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart.
His curiosity could not overcome his professional service, so he immediately responded enthusiastically.
“Okay, we have a variety of services at various prices. I wonder which one are you going to buy?”
The other party paused for a moment before continuing:
“It’s not for me. Can you come to the first hospital? I’ll wait for you there!”
“Of course, please wait a moment!”
Su Chen did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
It was another business deal. He would not let it go so easily.
After asking for her specific location, Su Chen tidied up briefly, locked the glass door of the shop again, kicked on the motorcycle, and drove towards the first hospital in the county.
At this moment.
In the first hospital.
In a certain ward, the sound of coughing could be heard continuously.
A haggard-looking middle-aged woman was lying on the hospital bed. She quickly stretched out her right hand and covered her mouth with the cloth beside the bed. She forcefully stopped the urge to continue coughing, and casually wiped the dark red blood at the corner of her mouth.
The woman put down the blood-stained cloth in her hand and smiled with difficulty. She forced out a kind smile, looked at the girl who was lying on the side of the bed and sobbing, and patted her head with her left hand:
“Nian, I am fine. Why are you crying?”
“Principal Tang! I’m scared!”
The girl could not stop her tears from falling. She could not bear to continue looking at Principal Tang’s haggard appearance.
Tang Ying was just about to comfort the child when she frowned!
Her stomach began to throb again. It was a pain that made her convinced she was better off dead!
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she said to the girl in a trembling voice,
“It’s fine. I am fine!”
Even though she was trying her best to hide it, her body could not stop trembling!
It was a pain that went deep into her bones!
The passage of time brought wrinkles to her, but it also brought her illness.
Her name was Tang Ying. She was the principal of a mountain village school and had been in office for eighteen years.
Eighteen years ago, she had been assigned to a remote mountain village as a branch teacher. The environment was poor and harsh, and she had gritted her teeth for eighteen years!
In order to educate the children well, she had walked countless rugged mountain paths. In order to keep the school from being canceled, she had overcome countless difficulties. But now, she was confined to this sickbed, plagued by a terrible disease.
In these years, she had walked the most rugged mountain roads, and thought the most about how to teach the children in the mountains.
However, in her own affairs, she had always been confused.
As early as a few years ago, she was told by the doctor that she had stomach cancer and needed good treatment and care, but she did not take it seriously. At that time, in order to get the first batch of children to successfully enter the school and see the world outside the mountains, she exhausted all her energy to prepare funds and exam qualifications for the children.
Her efforts paid off, despite all kinds of rolled eyes and misunderstandings.
She still successfully let the students walk out of the mountain with confidence and hope. They were admitted to one ideal school after another and saw the world outside the mountain.
The child smiled, and she also smiled.
But, what will come will come, the stomach cancer finally reached the terminal stage under her tiring work and lack of rest.
The one who had always been regarded as indestructible by the children, Principal Tang, could carry on no more.
Knowing that Principal Tang had a very serious illness, these students decided to take care of her. In the past, she took care of the children, now it was the children’s turn to take care of her, in order not to delay their studies, the children began to take turns to work in the hospital.
As the mountainous region was quite far away, each child would be on duty for a week.
This week, it was the little girl’s turn, Bai Xiaonian.
Although she was still young, she understood many things.
She was able to take care of herself and was even more confident in taking care of Principal Tang, who was lying on the hospital bed.
She was also the one who had just contacted the funeral company.
It had been Tang Ying’s idea to contact the funeral company.
With terminal cancer, she knew that she did not have much time left.
Perhaps it was God’s will, but today, she had received a text message from the Su family’s funeral company. There were many services listed on it, one of the words that left the deepest impression on her was: create a mysterious and terrifying past for you!
Thinking back to her life, it seemed that the girl who had made up her mind to go out into the world had been completely changed by reality. She had spent her entire life revolving around her children. Although she knew that she could not accompany all of her children through the journey, she did not expect that she would leave them so soon.
Create a mysterious and terrifying past?
Tang Ying was a little tempted.
Hence, she contacted this funeral company.
Due to her severe cough, she could only get Xiao Nian to speak on her behalf.
Soon..,
Su Chen appeared at the door of the ward as promised.
Taking in the characteristic smell of medicine in the hospital, Su Chen tidied up his clothes and walked in steadily.
In the entire ward, only a thin little girl was in front of Tang Ying’s bed. It was not difficult to recognize them.
Su Chen walked forward and greeted politely:
“Hello, I’m Su Chen from Su’s Funeral Company!”
He took the opportunity to look at the middle-aged woman who was wearing glasses on the bed.
It seemed like the person who wanted to order the service was this customer.
As for that little girl… she did not seem like her child?
“Ahem, that’s pretty fast!”
Tang Ying coughed with a pained expression. As she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, she replied.
Nian looked at Su Chen nervously and did not dare to speak.
There was a hint of timidity in her eyes.
“This is the price list for our funeral service. Please take a look! I wonder which service caught your eyes. Our different services have different prices. We will not cheat the elderly nor the sickly. We will professionally create a mysterious and terrifying past for you!”
After the previous mission, Su Chen got straight to the point with even more familiarity. He took out the price list and handed it to Tang Ying who was lying on the bed.
She took the price list and looked at it. Immediately, she frowned!
She had seen the services on the text message, but they did not have the corresponding prices. Now that she saw the expensive prices, her eyes were filled with hesitation. The anticipation she had for the funeral.., seemed to have been dispelled a lot at that moment.
Although the services were really good and unique, the price..! Was too expensive!
“Are there any cheaper ones?”
Tang Ying adjusted her glasses and asked weakly.
Su Chen was taken aback. Had he set his expectations too high again?
After all, Chu Guozhong had thought so too.
At that moment, Tang Ying’s information appeared in his mind.
[Name: Tang Ying
Identity: Principal
Remaining lifespan: 18 hours
Personal Assets: 300 Yuan
Recommended Service: 99 Yuan set funeral/199 yuan special funeral ]
After seeing Tang Ying’s information, Su Chen was very surprised. She had actually triggered the 199 yuan special funeral service, which was the result of the system’s analysis. She was worthy of the song where a hundred birds paid homage to the phoenix!
Thinking of the uniqueness of this song, Su Chen immediately felt a deep respect for the middle-aged woman in front of him. He quickly brought up more options.
“We now have a rather special funeral service. If you are willing to pay me 199 yuan, I will play a song called ‘A hundred birds paying tribute to the Phoenix’ on the Suona during your funeral!”
Actually, when he said the Suona, Su Chen was still a little hesitant. Not everyone understood the Suona as a musical instrument. Those who did not understand the Art of the Suona and the meaning of ‘A hundred birds paying tribute to the Phoenix’.., none of them knew how profound the meaning behind it was.
Just as he said that, Tang Ying’s expression froze. There was a look of surprise in her eyes:
“A hundred birds worshipping the Phoenix? !”
Su Chen was taken aback. was that really the case?
At that moment, he could only recommend other packages:
“Yes. If you don’t think it’s mysterious enough, you can also choose our 99 yuan package. I will wear a black suit, sunglasses, and headphones at your funeral. Regardless of the weather, I will hold up a black umbrella and silently watch the crowd!”
Unexpectedly…
tang Ying shook her head. Tears rolled down her pale face as her voice trembled:
“Is what you said about ‘A hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix’ true?”
“Of course!”
Su Chen nodded firmly. After receiving the system’s teachings, if he said that he did not know how to play “A hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix”, then no one in China would!
“Alright, I’ll take it!”
There seemed to be some hope on Tang Ying’s pale face.
With great difficulty, she took out two 100-yuan bills from under the bedsheet and handed them to Su Chen.
Su Chen accepted the 200-yuan bills and quickly took out his phone. He was prepared to give her one-yuan change.
“Take it as the money for the cigarettes, tea, and wine!”
She reached out to reject him and said weakly.
Su Chen was stunned and quickly handed over the information form:
“Please fill in your information and the location of the funeral!”
