Chapter 276 Sorrow (2)
Kuroko tried hard to lift her head, but she didn't have the strength. In the end, she glanced at everyone, blinked, shed her last tear, closed her eyes, and her head slumped down instantly.
An Ran and An Xin hugged Hei Zi and sobbed silently.
Ruoxi and Ruochen also realized what was happening at this moment.
Ruochen asked, "Dad, is Heizi dead?"
Ruoxi started crying.
"I don't want Kuroko to die, I don't want Kuroko to die, waaaaaah..."
Su Jinru hugged her daughter into her arms.
Ruochen said in disbelief, "Impossible, how could Heizi be dead? It can't be dead."
Su Jinru also pulled Ruochen into her arms.
The two children burst into tears.
The children's crying attracted a few people who were from a nearby farm.
One of them asked, "Commander Yuan, has Hei Zi... left?"
Yuan Wenjie asked the other person, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
Yuan Wenjie hasn't smoked for over ten years.
The other person took out a cigarette, struck a match, and lit it for him.
Yuan Wenjie walked to the side, took a deep breath, and coughed violently, choking on it.
He walked a little further away and smoked some more, until he finished his cigarette.
The person next to him handed him another one.
He waved his hand.
"No thanks!"
Yuan Wenjie walked up to Su Jinru.
“Aru, you stay here with the children. I’ll go ask someone to get a piece of wood for Heizi.”
Seeing that the children were crying so sadly, Su Jinru nodded.
Yuan Wenjie drove away.
The children cried for a while, and after they had vented their emotions, they calmed down on their own.
Su Jinru: "Anran, put Hei Zi down!"
An Xin snatched Hei Zi from An Ran's arms.
Put the black ball on the ground.
This black-haired boy was once a companion to the brother and sister during their darkest times.
Back then, their friends mocked them for having a father who was a womanizer. They felt ashamed, isolated, and even had their hard-earned vegetables stolen.
But ever since they got Kuroko, they've become fearless. Many of their friends are envious of the siblings having a friend like Kuroko. Instead of mocking them, they try to please them so they can play with Kuroko.
Haters not only gave them love and companionship, but also glory, courage, and confidence.
Over the years, the brother and sister left Qiongzhou Island and Heizi one after the other, but they always thought of Heizi.
Hei Zi accompanied An Xin and An Ran as they grew up, then left, and accompanied Ruo Chen and Ruo Xi as they grew up.
When Ruochen and Ruoxi were young, Heizi even served as their mount.
Back then, Hei Zi was so strong and majestic. It could cheer people up, make them laugh, help them fetch things, and even help catch fish when they were beachcombing.
Su Jinru was also filled with jealousy. She met Heizi in 1959, when the famine was at its worst, and they had a bond that lasted for more than ten years.
It accompanied her four children through their childhood, leaving them with many wonderful memories.
It's fair to say that Hei Zi is already part of their family.
Now that it's old and gone, the children are heartbroken and in tears, but Su Jinru doesn't try to stop them from being sad.
Why try to stop someone from expressing their true feelings? Let them grieve with them for a while!
An hour later, Yuan Wenjie arrived again in his car.
Li Jianguo also came along.
They brought a small coffin, which looked like a makeshift one.
The coffin was lined with the blanket that Hei Zi usually slept on. There was also a new blanket, which Su Jinru bought to replace it.
Anran carried Heizi inside and covered it with a blanket.
The lid was put on and nailed in place.
Li Jianguo took two shovels from the car and started digging a hole where Hei Zi had been lying.
Su Jinru looked around and said, "Hei Zi chose a good place. It's high up, you can see the sea, and there's a jujube grove behind it, which is sheltered from the wind. It's very safe to live here, and the scenery is beautiful."
The pit was dug quickly.
An Ran and Li Jianguo together carried Hei Zi into the pit and covered him with soil.
The two twins cried uncontrollably.
Su Jinru pulled them both into her arms.
"Kuroko is a combat hero who has made countless contributions. He will surely be reincarnated as a handsome, smart and cute boy."
Ruoxi raised her tear-filled face.
"Mom, really? After Kuroko dies, he will be reincarnated as a little boy?"
"definitely will."
Ruochen also stopped crying.
"Really? Kuroko will turn into a boy?"
Su Jinru patted the two children's heads.
"Yes! It's not a bad thing that it left us; it will reappear in another form."
Ruoxi asked curiously, "If it turns into a little boy, will it still recognize us?"
"I don't recognize you anymore because I drank the Meng Po soup and forgot everything that happened in this life."
Ruoxi said regretfully, "Then we won't recognize him either."
"Yes! We don't recognize him anymore, because our connection with him has come to an end."
Both children fell silent.
Soon, a small mound was erected.
Yuan Wenjie placed a wooden tombstone, which he had prepared beforehand, in front of Hei Zi's grave.
The inscription on the monument reads: Tomb of the combat hero Kuroko.
Su Jinru secretly took out a meat pie from her spatial storage and placed it in front of Hei Zi's grave.
The first time Su Jinru met Hei Zi was when she gave it a meat pie like this. Hei Zi followed her all the way and wouldn't leave no matter what she did.
Everyone observed a moment of silence before getting into their cars and leaving.
Only Kuroko was left all alone there.
In the car, Ruochen held Su Jinru's hand tightly, "Mom, will we all die in the future? Will we never see each other again after we die?"
Su Jinru held her son's little hand and told him she hadn't lied to him.
"Yes! All animals in this world, including humans, will die when they get old and then be reincarnated to start a new life, just like grass. It withers and dies in winter, but turns green again in spring."
Ruoxi: "But Heizi died and turned into a little boy. We can't recognize each other anymore. If you die and become other people, we won't recognize you either."
Su Jinru: "What does it matter if you can't recognize them? Everyone is like that."
Ruoxi: "I don't want you to die, and I don't want to die either. I don't want you to leave, and I don't want to leave you either."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Ruochen also said, "Me too, I don't want you to leave."
An Xin said, "We won't leave. Our family will always be together and we will never leave."
That night, Ruochen and Ruoxi both developed high fevers.
Yuan Wenjie and Su Jinru took the two children to the infirmary, where they received intravenous fluids, and their fevers subsided.
After a night of turmoil, Yuan Wenjie saw that the two children were alright the next morning and went to work as usual.
Su Jinru was so tired that she lay down and didn't want to get up.
She noticed that An Xin and An Ran also looked listless.
"Anxin, you don't need to cook today. Just go to the cafeteria and get something to eat!"
