"Hey, uncle~" Kagura's voice came.
"Hey, it's Kagura-chan," Jiang Cheng then noticed Kagura greeting him from across the street, as well as Gintoki, Shinpachi and an old man with a strange hairstyle next to Kagura.
"Would you like to kick the can aru together?" Kagura shouted to Jiang Cheng.
"I'm really sorry, I can't play with Kagura today," Jiang Cheng pointed to the formal attire he was wearing (a black kimono), "Today my uncle is going to attend the funeral of a friend's father."
"Friends?" Gintoki on the side asked doubtfully, "Are there any friends of yours in Edo that I don't know?"
"Can you guys please stop looking down on other people's social circles?" Jiang Cheng scolded, "Anyway, see you later."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng said hello to Xin Bajia beside him and prepared to leave.
"That being said, why don't you just go alone with your friend? Why is she going?" Gintoki turned to Yue Yong, who was wearing the same dress next to Jiang Cheng.
"I don't know." Jiang Cheng also glanced at Yue Yong beside him, then curled his lips and whispered, "I have to come with you, what etiquette and whatnot. But I think the reason must be because I want to have more opportunities to appear. .”
Just as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, a kunai had already pierced Jiang Cheng's head.
"Then, see you later." With that said, Yue Yong dragged Jiang Cheng away.
"Uncle isn't going to participate~" Kagura sighed, and then looked at the old man seriously, "It doesn't matter Aru! There are still us!"
"You got it!" Gintoki scolded, "How many times have I told you not to play with strangers!"
"I'm not an uncle, but an old man. It should be okay, right?" the old man said, stepping on the jar.
"Shut up, men are all beasts," Gintoki said, turning around and starting to walk, reminding him as he walked, "Kagura, don't pay attention to the old man you don't know. An old woman you know wants to treat us to meat. It’s rare.”
As he said that, Gintoki looked at the old lady who had just arrived, "This era is dominated by old ladies, and the old man is dying. The old woman is amazing! The old woman who never hesitates to help others is called [the dead old woman] for short!" "
"Who are you calling a damn old woman? Bastard!" Mother-in-law Denshi scolded.
"Then, I'll be a ghost and let's kick the can together!" the old man shouted.
"Shut up! Old man!" Catherine shouted as she rushed towards the old man and kicked the can away. "If you want to kick it so much, I'll kick it for you!"
Looking at the canister that had flown away without a trace, Catherine held a cigarette in one hand and showed a difficult look on her face, "Find the canister within 20 seconds. If I can do it, I will play with you. Damn it." Old man."
"Good or bad, you are good or bad," Xin Bajio on the side couldn't help but complain.
"Catherine, how can you bully the elderly?!" Kagura also shouted righteously.
"Shut up! I'm in a hurry to get protein now. I'm in a hurry." After blowing out a smoke ring, Catherine replied in a tone that didn't deserve a beating, "Go before the old woman changes her mind."
"Catherine, go back to the store and watch." Granny Denshi glared at Catherine and said, "If you don't respect the elderly, don't think that the elderly will be kind to you."
With that said, everyone walked in a certain direction.
"Why do you say that? Sister Denshi, how can you be an old person?" Catherine pretended to complain, "You are still young!"
"Yoshi! I picked up the jar! Then let's get started!"
Before everyone had gone far, the old man's voice came. Everyone looked over and saw that the old man had really found the jar.
So, despite their reluctance, in addition to the elderly mother-in-law Denshi and Catherine, the three members of Wanshiwu started to play kick the can game with the old man...
…
On the other side, inside Hattori's house.
"I didn't expect you to actually come. Thank you very much." Quan Zang, who was dressed in formal attire, looked at Jiang Cheng who came in and quickly went up to greet him.
"No, I am." Jiang Cheng shook his head and continued with a touch of emotion, "Since he is Brother Quanzang's father, we juniors should still show our filial piety even if we don't know him."
"Quan Zang, who is this person?" Xun walked up and asked.
"Ah, a friend of life and death!" Quan Zang explained in a deep voice.
"Friends of life and death?!" Xun was a little shocked, "How come we never knew..."
"Although we have known each other for a short time, there is no doubt that we are life and death friends!" As he said that, Quan Zang recalled that day. If it weren't for Jiang Cheng, he might have died by the most powerful enemy in his life [ Hemorrhoids], "Thanks to him I was able to survive at the hands of my lifelong enemy!"
"Unexpectedly..." Xun covered his mouth in disbelief, but it only took him a few seconds to recover, and he quickly introduced himself to Jiang Cheng, "I'm so rude. I'm Quanzang's friend, Xun. Don't go outside. Stand now and hurry into the house, the funeral is about to start."
"Well," Jiang Cheng nodded, sighed and led Yue Yong into the house. Of course, when he passed by Quan Zang, he patted Quan Zang's shoulder and whispered, "My condolences."
"Hey, did you get into something strange again without my knowledge?" Yue Yong said softly, while putting the gift money into the box at the door.
"I don't know what you are talking about," Jiang Cheng replied casually, and then reminded him solemnly: "Let's not talk about that for now. When attending a funeral, you must pack your mind and go with a pious and sincere heart. When bidding farewell to the deceased, please don’t do any unnecessary things.”
"You'd better take care of yourself first." With that said, Yue Yong and Jiang Cheng walked into the room, found two adjacent empty seats and sat down on their knees.
Finally, the funeral is about to begin.
"The strongest man in the imperial court can't beat the years..." Gang Gang knelt down next to Quan Zang and sighed softly.
"What's the strongest? He's just a big idler wandering around 365 days a day," Quan Zang replied, "I don't know how much trouble I'm in because of him."
"No, no, how can someone who only knows how to play become an instructor in a ninja school?" Gang shook his head, "The ninjas active in Edo now were all cultivated by your father. And although you always say that he is too Playful, but in my opinion this kind of playfulness is also..."
Before he could finish speaking, the sliding door behind Gang was kicked over, falling right on top of Gang. At the same time, the culprit who kicked down the sliding door, Xiao Yuan, rushed in while shouting.
"Master!!" After the little ape shouted, he looked around and said with a puzzled face, "Ah, I heard that the master had fallen, so I rushed here to see him for the last time..."
"What you said about my father, he has already closed his eyes..." Quan Zang looked at the little ape stepping on Gang and explained, "What happened the night before yesterday has been a long time ago."
"How could... Master..." Looking at the portrait, Xiao Yuan murmured, "It's too late, bastard!!"
"It's so noisy! You bastard! Just squinted, okay?" Jiang Cheng scolded, "Didn't your parents teach you not to shout at a funeral?! There is no such thing as respecting the deceased. Do you know how to do it?! You stinky natto girl?!"
"So are you! Falling asleep at a funeral doesn't count as respecting the deceased!" Yue Yong scolded at the side.
"Hey? You, why are you here too?" Xiao Yuan looked at Jiang Cheng and murmured, "Could it be..."
In an instant, the little ape thought of a large-scale drama, "Although I knew that the master was misbehaving in the past, I never thought about having an illegitimate child. But now that it has happened, we have to face reality, Quan Zang!"
"What are you thinking about!" Jiang Cheng scolded, "How is that possible? Brother Hattori invited me here!"
"Hey?! Why? Aren't you enemies?" Xiao Yuan asked doubtfully.
"What are you talking about? We are life and death friends." Quan Zang waved his hand and said.
"No! Didn't you guys have a big fight that time in Fengxiansuo?"
"Huh? What kind of war? By the way, what are you talking about?" Jiang Cheng was confused.
"Qiaodou sack..." Xiao Yuan lowered his head and held his glasses and continued, "Let me take a look first... That time at Fengxiansuo, we all thought you were held back by Quan Zang... What happened?"
"That time," Jiang Cheng laughed and said, "Don't worry about it so much, just let him go through those things, right, Brother Hattori?"
"That's right," Quan Zang laughed at the same time, "Friendship between men is always established in battle!"
"Hey, are you two hiding something?" Xiao Yuan still didn't believe what they said.
"No, no!" the two people quickly denied.
"Stop talking about such heavy topics and get ready, the funeral is about to begin." Quan Zang continued.
After such an interlude, the funeral finally began.
Guests came forward one by one to lay flowers and worship the body.
"Hey, it's your turn." A guest reminded Jiang Cheng and Yue Yong in a low voice.
Jiang Cheng nodded and stood up, walking forward with a chrysanthemum in his hand. Jiang Cheng knew the funeral etiquette, and Jiang Cheng tried his best to look sad.
Finally, after the ceremony, Jiang Chengcai finally raised his head and glanced at the remains of Quanzang's father. This sight didn't matter, Jiang Cheng just stayed where he was.
To explain why, this old man looks exactly like the old man he saw with Kagura and others on the way here! !
"Hey, hey, that's about it," Quan Zang, who was at the front, reminded, "You don't have to be so solemn."
"Oh, that's right..." Jiang Cheng responded, then walked towards his seat with his head lowered and a dark face on his face.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Yue Yong looked at Jiang Cheng who was sitting down on his knees again with a dark face and asked in a low voice, "You look very bad. Why are you sweating so much? Is it because of the heat?"
"You..." Jiang Cheng murmured back, "Don't look at that old man's face... Don't look at it... It will give you nightmares..."
"It's just a dead man, what's wrong with you?" Yue Yong said disdainfully, and stood up and walked forward.
"Hey!" Jiang Cheng just wanted to stop him, but it was already too late... Yue Yong had already walked to the body.
