Song Wanghai is gone, the Song family is not chaotic at all, the tailoring of filial piety clothes, the Ding worry of Ding worry, the heavy door is half covered and listed to thank guests, only saying that there is a mourning at home, and no guests are allowed.

Song Wanghai suffered from the flood, and the local funeral was held, and the person who carried the body pretended to collect a lot of money, and died in Bliss, it is not good to say it, but fortunately, if you survive in Sweetwater Town, you have to earn a bite to eat, where is there still the leisure to inquire about these, but no one asks the Song family about the death of the old man and aunt, why only a coffin.

Stacked up and carried out of the town, even the people who puffed and did white things couldn't get together, and Mr. Yin Yang couldn't invite him, let alone look at the mountain grave from the hole, sprinkle a blank paper money, and hastily scrape together some fruit, which was regarded as a sacrifice and a burial, so as to save the whole body.

The families who could not afford to hold the funeral were all cleaned up by the government and burned into a pile of ashes, the water on the street was all receded, the corpses were cleaned up, and the shops hung up curtains again, but there were many fewer people on the street, and people also brought vegetables.

The funeral can't be done in a big way, Song Jingtang stayed at home to serve his grandparents, and his grandfather's family also had to take care of it, there were many Gan families, and the disaster was even more serious, and few of the female dependents escaped, and the old lady's favorite pair of grandchildren and grandchildren were taken out to burn incense, and the rest were all not alive.

Song Jingtang still has to take care of his cousin and cousin, he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, but there is still a Song Mian here, so he is entrusted to take care of him and take care of some miscellaneous things, the Song family of the Gan family is also called collapsed across the courtyard wall, and it is too late to rebuild, first clear the masonry out, look at the broken wall, and hang a room of white, Song Jingtang became more and more silent.

He was originally down at this age, and he had to keep filial piety at this time, it turned out that he felt that there was only one road to the imperial examination in front of him, and he had also worked hard for many years, and he knew that he was not talented, so he worked harder, and at that time he was only an official or a fuss, and he couldn't be the head of a clan, not to mention a county, a state, and a government.

Song Jingtang often walked around the countryside, at this time the Song family was inseparable, and he often wrote to the old lady Song about the countryside, saying that he had learned a lot here, and the old lady Song didn't think that he could still have this feeling, so he wrote a letter to the patriarch and asked him to teach more.

The Song family did not do a funeral in Jinling, but went to the East Temple to do the Dharma for Song Wanghai, the funeral was completed in the countryside, Jinling also had to send an obituary, read the sacrificial text by Song Yintang, and set off the flames, one by one, and had to do it from the first seven to the seven, a complete set of funerals were completed, and the frost had passed.

Shi Gui kept reciting the scriptures day after day, and Grape saw that she was convinced that her father and mother were fine, although she should be with her, but she was worried about her, and she confessed that she had drilled the horns, and what would she do when the young master came back.

The Song family endured the funeral, and on the day of the Yuan Water Official Festival, they did a good ritual and burned a lot of paper money, tied a colorful boat and piled up paper money ingots, lit a river lamp, put it on the river, and floated away along the river.

The grapes were empty, folded a lot of colorful boat ingots, took Shi Gui, and quietly burned them in the backyard in the dead of night.

As soon as Shi Gui raised her eyes, Jin Li took half a step back, she was beaten that time, her face looked uninjured, but her body was blue and purple, she didn't dare to provoke Shi Gui again, she scolded hundreds of times in her stomach, flattened her mouth and let it aside, and saw Shi Gui go out, and spat on her back.

Shi Gui seemed to have eyes behind her back, and her footsteps paused, Jinli now treated her as a madman, as soon as she saw her stop, she thought she was going to beat someone, and hurriedly went to the courtyard, and walked two steps before she stopped again: "I don't know where to go." ”

When Shi Gui arrived at the edge of the garden, the grapes had already prepared the copper basin bucket, and a basket of incense and candle ingots beckoned to Shi Gui when no one passed by.

She actually wanted to persuade Shi Gui to burn it too, and after the burning, her heart could be more stable, and what was better if she didn't let it go? But Shi Gui only helped her, and the grapes opened their mouths a few times, but they couldn't say it, sighed, wiped the fire, lit a bunch of paper money, closed their eyes, and what came to mind was how her father loved her.

Buy a drum to buy bud candy, bring her from a little bit to seven or eight years old, at that time my heart was full of resentment, at this time everyone is gone, more and more tolerant of him, three aunts and six neighbors, which one does not say that he is not easy, if you find a good-hearted stepmother, maybe the family is still together at this time.

Grape took out the fried dumplings with hemp curd buns from the food basket and put them on the ground, and it really came to the point that he couldn't remember what his father liked to eat, only knew that the fried dumplings were his favorite, so he had to wrap them in meat filling, add some mushrooms to them, and pick out the meat pieces in them for her to eat.

The grapes sniffed their noses, put on the fruit, spread a layer of ingots in the copper basin, the paper money was stained with firelight, and after a while, the sparks jumped up, and the paper money was said to be the best to float away with the wind, the more it floated, the more it was taken, the grapes were lit with a little incense, and silently watched the paper ash float up, the black ash swirled with the wind, and floated to the sky, and the sadness in my heart churned again, and the nose was sour, and I was going to cry.

Shi Gui finished standing and watched her burn paper, he refused to touch it at all, he choked in his throat and was at a loss, but he didn't dare to think about what she was going to do if she really had no home.

A basket of paper money burned for a long time, Shi Gui just stood like this, this pot of fire was so hot that half of the body was hot, the soot flew up and floated up little by little, and after a while, it rose far away, and it was impossible to see when he looked up, the grapes took a step back, his lips moved, he said a few words, and then retreated to Shi Gui's side.

At this time, even the sound of cicadas could not be heard, and the courtyard was surprisingly quiet, but the two of them were not afraid, Grape stretched out his hand and held Shi Gui's wrist: "I will have no home in the future." "There's not even a place to grudge.

Shi Gui was silent, and when there was no spark in the pot, the two lit the lanterns, packed up their things and went back, Shi Gui sent the grapes to the secluded grate, and then went back to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, the lights in the yard were dimmed, and there was no sound, but she was not afraid at all, and a few points of starlight shone through the dense shade, shining on her way back.

Song Jingtang stayed in his hometown and couldn't come back for a while, but Song Mian had to come back, he was not a serious master, he was about to go to Taohuadu, and the news was only revealed in the back house.

Shi Gui was serving tea in front of the Ye family, and the little girl lifted the curtain and came in: "Young Master Tang has arrived at the ferry, and the old lady sent me to inform my wife." ”

Shi Gui's hand shook, almost smashed the cup, Chunyan glanced at her, Shi Gui entrusted Song Mian to find his family, few people in the courtyard knew, this is a matter of transgressing the rules, Song Mian is a relative of the Song family who did not come out of the five suits, it is half a young master, and asked the young master to find a family for the girl, that is, Song Mian is willing in his heart, and Shi Gui will also eat melons when he says it.

Chunyan knew something, but pretended not to know, the matter reached her ears, and the reasoning should be taught, but her feelings were pitiful, so she didn't know, and she didn't have to punish her, but Fanxing praised Song Mian Gaoyi.

Shi Gui took the tray and withdrew, lowered his eyebrows and walked over the threshold, his heart was pounding, his breath was uneven, and he quietly handed the tray to Shi Ju's hand, anxious to find Song Mian, he didn't have time to say a word, he walked quickly to the door, ran out of the threshold, and ran all the way to the second door.

When the corridor through the courtyard is still fast, the closer to Zhile Zhai, the more slow the footsteps, to the edge of the gate, a pair of feet seem to have taken root on the ground, how can not be pulled out.

At this time, the weather is already cold, the cold dew has passed, the family has already issued jackets, all of them are blue and brown, and there is a white belt on the waist, Shi Gui is holding the head of the belt with one hand, and the other hand is pulling tightly, but he doesn't dare to take a step, if so, what if Song Mian can't find it?

She has been holding hope for many days, but at this moment she became timid, her feet couldn't move, her eyes were staring at the door of Zhile Zhai, her throat was dry, her eyes were staring at the door, but Song Mian's voice came from behind, he had just arrived, one step later than Shi Gui, seeing her standing in a daze, knowing her mind: "You have waited for a long time." ”

Shi Gui stared at Song Mian's face tightly, his eyes were not instantaneous for a moment, he only hoped to hear the news that his parents were still there from his mouth, Song Mian was not seen by her, and smiled: "I did it for you, your father ran away on the boat, and he was not at home, your mother and grandmother took your younger brother to the temple fair on the mountain, I met the white lady at the entrance of the village, and said that it was one, and the footsteps were slower and not yet arrived, but unfortunately there were many people, and I couldn't stay for a long ......time."

Shi Guichang let out a long breath, his hand tightly clutched the placket, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, he held his breath, and then slowly spit it out, how many days she was longing, her wish came true, and she couldn't say anything except chanting Buddha in her mouth.

Song Mian's hand behind his back tightened and loosened, he thought for a long time before he came up with this set of rhetoric, not letting her be a family member alive, and her father might come back to her, slowly fading away is much better than knowing that heaven and man are forever separated.

"You give people silver, I will give it all to Aunt Bai, because she said ......" When she said this, she couldn't catch it, feeling that she had spied on Shi Gui's secrets, and it was not a gentleman's doing, her mouth was open, and Shi Gui laughed first: "Aunt Bai picked me up, and my mother will take me back." ”

Aunt Bai's family is fine, that is the life of a living person, and God blesses it, Shi Gui guessed in his heart what Song Mian was going to say: "Aunt Bai has great kindness to me, even if it is all given to her, it should be." ”

She knew that Song Mian was going to talk about the five taels of silver, Song Mian nodded at her, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Shi Gui knew that Qiu Niang was fine, and then asked about the house, which Song Mian knew, and told her that she was a homeless person, ten households were one first, and they had their own government to send and receive fields, and they were exempted from taxes for three years, and they had food to help, as long as they lived, they could always survive.

Many people came and went in and out of Zhile Zhai, Shi Gui heard the good news that the person had been happy to Taotao, his mouth was curled and his eyebrows were crooked, and he couldn't help but thank Song Mian, the more Song Mian listened to her thank you, the more weak his heart became, Shi Gui took a few steps back, almost hit the railing, but he couldn't stop laughing: "Young Master Tang is busy, I'll go back." ”

She was still laughing all the way, but Song Mian didn't turn around and entered the house, her hands were clenched, and she watched Shi Gui turn to the corridor, and she jumped lightly, like a bird.

Song Mian sighed softly, although he didn't see anyone or a corpse, what he said was not all false, leaving her a thought, it was better than having no hope.

Knowing in her heart that Shi Gui's wish was to go home, her parents didn't know where they were, how to redeem her home, thought about it once, raised her eyebrows to see the corners of her skirt about to fly, and vaguely thought in her heart, if her father didn't come, then he would redeem her body.
