"I will do the funeral clothes for Grandma Li in person," said Ji Danshu's brother Ji Danyang: "There are other things like paper money and wreaths, which I will prepare. Let's let Grandma Li have a decent funeral. Oh, by the way, the portrait is ready, right there. I chose the photos of Grandma Li who was still energetic in the past few years."
at this time……
Many people gathered around the Li family's house, and many people were talking about it.
Haihan, Haiyin and several other children were surrounded there.
Due to family reasons, Hai Han came into contact with the concept of death earlier than ordinary people, which is too cruel for children.
Perhaps because he came into contact too early, he was not as taboo as ordinary people.
"Grandma Li has always been in good health, why did she leave?" Hai Yin was obviously a little uncomfortable, "Oh, I'm old and I'll leave. Looking back, I have to persuade my grandpa more and let him remember to go for a regular physical examination."
"Well, so are grandma."
Hai Han clearly remembers... the year when his grandfather passed away.
Although my mother and uncle cried, he felt that it seemed that they were not even more sad than they were on their own.
Grandpa died because of cirrhosis. Grandpa is a person who is addicted to alcohol and drinks white wine as if he is a white water.
In this case, the liver cannot bear it, and it will be a problem sooner or later. Mom and uncle forced their grandfather's wine to hide and dump it, which is useless. Only after the liver cirrhosis was diagnosed, it was considered to be a forced quit drinking, but the disease was not cured in the end, and my grandfather passed away like this.
Then……
Haihan looked towards the direction of the sea.
It is not far from the coast, and you can still hear the sound of tides.
"Grandma Li's body will also be buried in the sea."
"Yeah, sure."
Once all the islanders on the Blue Blue Island die, they will not be cremated, but will be buried in the sea. Instead of scattering the ashes into the sea, they will directly put the bodies into the sea and sank them to the bottom of the sea.
This is the inevitable fate of all the islanders in Azura Island after their death, without any exception. Therefore, the funeral on the island never requires coffins.
Hai Han never thought that this was a problem before. Burial would occupy too much land area, and cremation seemed too inhumane, burning a body into a pile of ashes. In contrast, sea burial seemed much better.
only……
"However, a person sank into the deep seabed..." Hai Yin couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Then it turned into a rotten corpse inside. Isn't it very lonely?"
Hai Han shook his head and said, "No, the dead will not be lonely."
"well?"
"Sister, they won't be lonely."
Hearing this sentence, Hein was stunned.
What does this sentence mean?
"Haihan, you, what did you say just now?"
"Nothing interesting."
Hai Han shook his head.
This island has always had a secret that is not publicly disclosed. Any islander vowed not to leak this secret. Anyone who dared to leak this secret would be permanently exiled by the island. In the past, some people had violated this point, but later, without exception, they were expelled by the people on the island.
This secret will be told to the children on the island after they are eighteen years old.
However, there are a few children who can know this secret before that.
Hai Han, who just turned fourteen this year, is one of these few children.
The next day, in the morning.
These days, we are still on the New Year's Day holiday, so neither Haihan nor Haiyin need to go to school.
Haihan got up very early.
Because today is the day when his father Hai Jianshi returned from sea.
After getting up early, he dressed neatly, went out and headed for the island pier.
My sister went with her mother to help with the funeral, otherwise they would go with them.
The Pier of Azura Island is always so lively all year round. In addition to the ships that come to trade seafood, many tourists also come to this tourist attraction. Tourism and fishery are the two pillar industries of Azura Island.
Haihan came to the dock early and looked at the ships, looking for his father's fishing boat.
Every year, my father would ride a fishing boat to catch various fish and shrimps in the waters of this area. He is the most famous catcher on the Blue Blue Island. On the island, the name Haijianshi can be said to be known to everyone and everyone.
Haihan discovered that many tour boats carrying tourists also arrived, and some tour guides with tour groups took a loudspeaker and introduced the scenic spot of Azuram Island to tourists.
It seems that my father's ship has not arrived yet.
From time to time, tourists from other places came on the tour boat, but Hai Han lacked interest. He found a place near the dock to sit down. He planned to wait until his father's boat returned.
When my father comes back, he probably will help him organize Grandma Li’s funeral immediately with his personality. The funeral will be held this afternoon, and then the body will be buried in the sea.
At this time, he noticed a man and a woman walking towards him nearby.
"Well, little brother," the woman was quite pretty, wearing a red beret and asked, "Do you know how to get to Hantie Town in Azura Island?"
Azura Island is not big but not small. There are still several small villages and towns distributed on the entire island, and Hantie Town is where Haihan currently lives.
"I'll live in Hantie Town." Hai Han looked at the young man and woman in front of him and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Well..." the man asked, "Can you take us there?"
"I'm waiting for someone here, you can find someone else."
"Then there is nothing we can do, let's ask others again." The woman said to the man.
"I have to do this. I hope the people from the hospital won't chase me here."
Then the two left.
People from the hospital... won't chase them here?
Hai Han looked at the two of them in confusion and thought to himself: What does it mean? Did these two people escape from the hospital?
However, this has nothing to do with Hai Han.
Looking at the sparkling sea surface, Haihan will feel a sense of disgust from time to time.
In recent years, the sea level around Azuki Island has risen very significantly. Moreover, this change is obvious. Fortunately, Azuki Island itself is not flat, and all small towns are in places with relatively high terrain. However, if the sea level continues to rise, maybe one day this place will become uninhabitable, right?
"Haihan?" A fisherman nearby obviously recognized Haihan. There was no way. His father was so famous on the island.
The fisherman walked to Hai Han and asked, "Are you waiting for your father to return today?"
"Yeah, yes."
The fisherman smiled and said, "The new year, the new atmosphere. If your father takes action, the harvest will definitely not be too bad. Do you know? When your father was young, he was not afraid of fat-headed monsters!"
"That's called a sperm whale, right?"
In fact, Hai Han didn't know the fishermen in front of him at all. They might have met before, but Hai Han couldn't remember it.
"I heard that when my father was young, someone on the island asked him to take the remains of his relatives out for sea burial, right?"
"It's true."
