"Got it, mother." When Erhu heard what the woman in the gray dress said, he didn't take it seriously at all.
He replied casually while running fast, trying to catch up with the other friends running in front.
When the woman saw this, she shook her head and smiled.
"Come after me, hurry up, come on."
Li Xianling smiled and watched the children in Dongjia Village playing happily on the side of the road, and there were people hoeing in the fields not far away.
It seems that the people of this village are living well.
At the very least, it is possible to fill your stomach without freezing.
Seeing that an outsider was coming, Erhu's mother stepped forward to say hello, but she put away her smile and looked at Dong Dexiao with a calm face.
"Brother Dexiao, who are these three people who came with you?"
Dong Dexiao didn't sleep all night, he was sad and couldn't sleep because of his father's death, and he went to the county government early in the morning, and said so many words in the county office, and now he rushed back, his face was full of exhaustion.
His voice was hoarse, he was nearly forty years old, and he had heavy bags under his eyes.
"Shanwa's family, this is the county order of our county, the county order of Li, the one next to it is engaged in writing, clerical, and the one on the left is, it is a work."
As soon as Erhu's mother heard that this was a county order, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
My mother-in-law, I, Wang Fen, have lived for so long, and I have never seen an official.
It was the first time for Li Xianling to see such enthusiastic people, and he looked a little embarrassed.
After all, Dong Dexiao's father had just died.
The woman had obviously thought about it, too, otherwise she would not have been able to hide the smile on her face in the first place.
Li Xianling stepped forward and prepared to help Wang Fen, but Wang Fen saw this and got up by himself.
She was embarrassed to let the county magistrate help her up.
Wang Fen straightened her clothes and face, and bent down apologetically in front of Dong Dexiao.
"Brother Xiao, please mourn. The prefectural order you asked for was to catch the murderer, right? Go and go, and I won't bother you. ā
Naturally, Wang Fen was not the only one who saw Dong Dexiao and the county order, and many people in the village saw it.
It's just that they remembered that Dong Dexiao had just died of his father, and the rest of the people looked unusual, so they didn't come forward to say hello.
Of course, a few villagers in the front heard the words of the county order, and some acquaintances stood in one place, biting their ears.
Dong Dexiao took Li Xian Ling through the road in the village and gradually walked deeper into the village.
The more you walk, the fewer people there are, and the less sturdy the house looks.
Several of the houses at the head of the village are new, but the closer you get to the village, the older they look.
Li Xianling lowered his head and pondered.
It seems that Dong Dexiao's family background is not as good as he said.
"By the way, where does your cousin's house live?" Li Xianling suddenly asked.
Dong Dexiao turned around when he heard this, he looked at Li Xianling, and motioned for Li Xianling to turn back, just where he had just passed.
Li Xianling looked back, the house looked good, although it was not as good as the houses in the village, but it was enough to compare with the houses here.
Li Xianling nodded and continued to follow Dong Dexiao forward.
"My lord, it's up ahead."
Li Xianling nodded, he saw it.
White flags had been hung outside the Dong family's house, and strips of white cloth were constantly fluttering in the air with the wind.
Dong Dexiao took Li County to order a few people into the house, and Dong Dexiao's wife Liu Mei saw the head of the house come back, and tears immediately flowed.
When her father-in-law is gone, she is also sad.
The father-in-law is so good, but he was murdered and died, and I don't know which god killed him to do such a lack of morality.
Dong Dexiao stepped forward to comfort his wife, and after his wife calmed down, he told his wife the identities of Li County's orders.
"Let the adults laugh, get filial piety, my lord, have you had lunch?" Liu Mei wiped the tears from her face and asked.
"After eating, you don't have to worry about this." Dong Dexiao replied.
Several of them came back from lunch in the county, although Dong Dexiao said at first that he couldn't eat, but he was persuaded by Li County to eat a bowl of rice.
In this case, there was no way to greet him, so Dong Dexiao directly took the county order and the boy to his father's house.
Before he could make the coffin, his father left.
Dong Dexiao thought of this, and his heart was sad again.
It's just that if there is such a thing as an autopsy, it is better not to mix it with the woman's family, so Dong Dexiao let his wife go to another house.
His father's body is guarded by his son Dong Juzi.
Orange was woken up by his father this morning and told him to keep watch in his grandfather's house, and Orange went.
It's just that he didn't tell his father Dong Dexiao, and he didn't sleep all night.
When Dong Dexiao opened the door and went in, he saw Juzi kneeling on the ground alone, facing his grandfather.
Seeing this, Li Xianling nodded and sighed, this is a good child.
The orange looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the teenager looked physically strong.
Dong Dexiao stepped forward to help his son.
"Orange, why are you on your knees? Kneeling all morning? You're like this, you're like this, even if your grandfather knows it, he doesn't want to pay attention to you, silly boy, you have to look at your body. Dong Dexiao patted his son on the shoulder.
"Your grandfather is gone, and your father is also very uncomfortable."
When Dong Dexiao said this, his voice began to choke.
Li Xianling looked at the room.
There are not many furnishings in the room, a wooden cabinet, a wooden table, a few wooden stools, and the furniture is very old.
It seems that the family background is average.
Dong Dexiao's father was placed on the ground at this time, probably because the bed was too stuffy, so he put the body on the ground.
It seems that the dress has not changed, and it should be the clothes that were worn before death.
Li Xianling thought to himself.
Dong Dexiao's father and son had stopped their tears at this time, the big man was crying, and Li County ordered a few people to have no jokes.
They can all understand this sadness.
Dong Dexiao, as before, told Juzi that this was a few people from the county order, and he didn't speak again.
Orange met with the prefectural magistrate and also stood aside.
"Dad, what is the county order?" Orange knew that his father went to the county to report the case, but after reporting the case, shouldn't it be the official who came over? Why did the prefectural order come in person?
Moreover, two people were also brought.
One looked weak, the other with a gloomy face
He was also carrying a suitcase.
"The county order brought someone to the autopsy." Dong Dexiao reached out and rubbed his head.
He hadn't slept all night, and he looked a little haggard.
Orange looked at his father like this, and naturally felt a little distressed.
His father has been very good to him since he was a child, and he must also be good to his father.
"Autopsy?" Orange said after glancing at the man with a gloomy face.
"Hmm." Dong Dexiao nodded.
Li Xianling and the others naturally heard the conversation between the father and son
"Don't worry, let's worship your father first." Li Xianling said.
When you see a dead person, out of respect, you still have to put incense.
It's just that there is no such custom in the village, and Li County ordered a few people to just bend down to Dong Dexiao's father.
