Chapter 15 Suicide
There are a lot of funerals this month. At 8 p.m., Deng Qi called me and said that a classmate's mother had passed away and asked me to go to the funeral home. I said that I didn't have a car and couldn't go, so she asked me to wait. Her husband drove to pick me up.
So I changed my pajamas and changed into a plain suit to wait for Deng Qi's husband's car.
Sure enough, it took about 15 minutes to arrive. As soon as I got in the car, Deng Qi pulled me aside and bit my ear. "Do you know, her mother committed suicide?"
"Suicide, this is the first time I've met him." I continued to ask, "Why?"
"Why, I heard that her mother couldn't stand diabetes and jumped out of the toilet in her new house."
I didn't expect Deng Qi to know quite well.
"Jumping down from upstairs? Which floor does her house live on? I'm curious.
"It seems to be on the 13th floor. Her house is an elevator apartment."
It's over. There is no 13th floor in many places in the West, because 13 is an unlucky number. Just like the Chinese 4 characters, there is no 4 bed in ward 4 in general hospitals. I think all mankind have been globalized, so unlucky numbers should also be globalized.
When I arrived at the funeral home, I gave the gift money as usual and went to mourn the remains of the deceased. I looked at the deceased and wondered why he was so stupid. Since ancient times, suicide has been a felony.
Chinese Buddhism, Taoism, foreign Catholicism, etc. are not allowed to commit suicide.
I silently wished you a Buddha as soon as possible, so I walked out of the mourning room and stood outside waiting for my friend and couple.
It's not clean to come here during the day, not to mention that it's night. Looking at the side from time to time, one or two things float by, some are missing arms and broken legs, some are incomplete, and some even pass directly through your body. When they pass through, people will immediately have a cold war. Anyone who can see these things must treat them as non-existent, otherwise they will be entangled.
It was not easy for a friend and his wife to come out, and I urged him to hurry up.
On the way home, I asked Deng Qi's husband to watch the road and try not to turn around and stop. Because you will see someone beckoning at intervals along the way, which is generally invisible, but if the person's fortune is low, you will see it. As soon as you stop, trouble will come.
Fortunately, what I imagined didn't happen along the way and I got home safely. When I got home, I washed myself from top to bottom and read the Diamond Sutra before lying down and sleeping. The Diamond Sutra was placed under my pillow.
