Chapter XVIII: Identification of the Body

A few people hurriedly used a little gruel. The pen %fun %www.biquge.info will start a busy day.

Because several officials of the county government guards were also isolated, Xu Boqing left Changqing and a few people behind, and he explained a few words. carried Jiang Lingyi out of the door.

Before leaving, Zhao Tianrui handed two pieces of paper to Xu Boqing, "Remember to present them to your father." ”

Xu Boqing bowed his head and put the paper into his arms.

Chang Qing had already cleaned the carriage once, smoked it with atractylodes, and passed the wind all night.

When Jiang Lingyi got into the carriage, she no longer felt that the carriage had been used to move patients.

As soon as she sat down, Xu Boqing opened the curtain and sat in.

He happened to sit across from her, looking at her indiscriminately.

After getting along in the past few days, Jiang Lingyi no longer has the timidity that she saw Xu Boqing for the first time.

She didn't dodge, she sat there generously. "Where do we go first?"

Xu Boqing was very satisfied with his expression, "Let's go to the city first, my father will arrive this morning, I have to present this epidemic prevention method to him, so that he can set up signs in various villages as soon as possible, and also tell my father the location of the quarantine, so that they can send the imperial doctor over." Then we'll go back to your village. ”

Jiang Lingyi nodded and did not speak.

When he arrived at the county seat, Xu Boqing parked the carriage and asked Chang Qing to stay with Jiang Lingyi, and he left.

Jiang Lingyi was bored sitting in the carriage, so she lifted the curtain and glanced outside.

The street was deserted, and there were not half pedestrians, and at this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Jiang Lingyi put down the curtain and sat down.

"Phew," the visitor stopped in front of the carriage, "you're evergreen, aren't you?" ”

Chang Qing hurriedly replied, "I am, I don't know who the adults are?" ”

The man smiled, "I can't afford this, our Lord Luo is a messenger sent by the imperial court, specializing in assisting Lord Xu to solve this plague, Lord Luo is going to inspect the epidemic area now, I heard that there is a woman in your car who is going to identify the body, then follow up!" ”

Chang Qing didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly drove the carriage behind the man.

A total of five villages were affected this time, and Qingshan Village was the hardest hit because it is located in the lower reaches of the Wenjiang River.

The will of the imperial court is that if any relatives survive the corpse found, they will be buried by relatives, and if the body is unclaimed, the messenger Lord Luo will order someone to bury it on the spot, however, because the flood occurred in the middle of the night, the death toll is innumerable, and most of the survivors have been isolated, and only a very small number of people who were treated by Zhao Tianrui and were resettled followed to identify the body.

Therefore, Lord Luo sent a lot of people to help bury the corpse.

All the way.

Chang Qing was careful in the end, and walked very slowly behind the team, not letting Jiang Lingyi get out of the car."

When he came to Qingshan Village in this way, it was already evening, Jiang Lingyi covered his mouth and nose and got out of the car. Houses, fields, saplings, the desolation, this place is like a purgatory on earth, and there is no longer the vitality of the past.

At this time, an officer and soldier shouted, "My lord, three corpses have been found here. Is there anyone to recognize. ”

Lord Luo looked over this way.

Jiang Lingyi walked over slowly, this is Zhang Dabao's home, Zhang Dabao has an old mother at home, Jiang Lingyi is not mistaken, before the flood, he had just married.

Lord Luo was dressed in an official uniform, sitting on a horse, watching a little girl come over, the girl was thin and small, Lord Luo walked all the way, saw the corpses all over the field, around himself to see a lot of knowledge, but also trembling heart sutra, and saw that this woman was Lord Xu's eldest son Xu Boqing specially explained, immediately said warmly, "Little girl, if you are afraid, don't go over, just say the name of the head of the family." ”

Jiang Lingyi raised her voice and said, "Thank you for your kindness, the little girl is not afraid." She poked her head and saw three people snuggling together, the three people had been blistered, and their bodies were already swollen, as hot as today, they had long since rotted and were unrecognizable, Jiang Lingyi turned her head and reported her name to the guards who recorded the roster.

Her face was so calm that even Lord Luo was secretly surprised.

From the head of the village to the end of the village, there are two hundred and seventeen people in the village, except for herself, there is no life, she is not bold, she just forces herself to remember every scene firmly, these corpses have a posture of escaping to survive when they die, telling Jiang Lingyi that they just want to live. Life is so fragile, it is not easy to survive, she has gone all the way, more and more despised herself in her previous life, she escaped from a natural disaster, but died in her own hands, what a sad thing.

Finally, in front of the Jiang family's house, Jiang Lingyi saw her parents, who died under a tree. They interlocked their fingers and held the tree firmly, she remembered the tree, she woke up stuck in the middle of the branches, lived two lives, she never knew that she had been in the tree for two days, and her parents died at her feet.

Thinking about it like this, it is already sad to the bone.

Jiang Lingyi knelt down with a thud, tears welling up in her eyes. She kept kowtowing, and she didn't feel her hand being scratched by a dead branch on the ground.

They will be by her side when they die. They desperately wanted her to live.

But she cut off her life on an unattainable love. She raised her hand and slapped herself twice in the face, and fell to the ground, crying silently.

She just came back to life, she only thought about changing her name and surname, staying away from the Xu family, away from Xu Boqing, and now Jiang Lingyi just wants to live well, for her parents and for herself. She never wanted to be passive again.

She is Jiang Lingyi, not Lingshu.

They said she didn't deserve the name, and she preferred to show them.

If she wants to live, she can only live as Jiang Lingyi. Dignified.

She ran away from her previous life, should she continue to run away from this life?

At this time, a gentle female voice cried, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm late." ”

This voice is so familiar, there is no need to look up, Jiang Lingyi also knows that it is Jiang who is coming, the grief in her heart has not been suppressed, and a feeling of fear has risen in the whole person.

After all, the Jiang family came to Wenjiang County, and returned to the Jiang family for the first time since she got married.

Jiang Lingyi remembered that when her grandfather died, she was seven years old, and her mother asked someone to go to Xu's house to report the funeral, and only a few mothers-in-law came in the end. Since then, the Jiang family has no such girl in the bento.

In that life, the Jiang family heard about the flood, rushed back to Wenjiang County, saw the lonely Jiang Lingyi, and brought it back to the Xu family.

In this life, can't you escape fate after all?

Jiang Lingyi didn't believe it.

She raised her head, wiped away her tears, turned her head, and saluted towards the Jiang family, "Jiang Lingyi has seen her aunt." ”

A noble woman looked this way.

The lady also drowned her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, revealing only a pair of teary eyes, and she could not see clearly.
