Mu Zhengfang went out, which made Mu Hongmei feel a lot more comfortable. It also made Li Guo's ritual of burning seven burning buns in the evening go much smoother.

Of course, there are still a little twists and turns, which are all caused by the palm prints on Mu Hongmei's face.

The wound on her body was kicked, Mu Hongmei endured the pain and did not show it on her face, but she could hide it.

But the big slap mark on her right cheek was so obvious that she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

Sure enough, as soon as Kong Mingzhong entered the door with Mr. Feng Shui who rushed over from Hexi, he saw the big slap mark on Mu Hongmei's face that turned blue and purple, and he didn't know that it was Mu Zhengfang who gave it.

Kong Mingzhong thought of the warning he had deliberately left before leaving, but he was taken by Mu Zhengfang as a deaf ear, and he was angry and angry in his heart.

"Hongmei, tell grandpa, in addition to the pain on your face, is there anything uncomfortable?" Kong Mingzhong temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked about Mu Hongmei's injury while checking with a little caution.

Looking at this old man who really cared for herself, Mu Hongmei only felt that her nose and eye frames were sour like a game.

But he had to hold back the tears that came out of his eyes sensibly, and said with a smug smile: "Grandpa Kong, don't worry, I will only be beaten by my father today." And I hid a little bit when he called. Hehe, so it wasn't solidified at all, it's just that the marks on the face are a little scary, but in fact, it doesn't hurt at all on the face now. ”

Saying this, one is that I really don't want this old man to worry about himself. Another reason is that she really doesn't want to have any more twists and turns, and she can't afford to toss anymore.

Hearing that Mu Hongmei was only beaten for a moment, Kong Mingzhong was not as worried as before, but Kong Mingzhong was not a fool, after checking the obviously strict injury on Mu Hongmei's face, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he still clamored to go to the countryside to find the police to arrest Mu Zhengfang.

When Mu Hongmei heard this, she was frightened, and she was busy holding Kong Mingzhong.

In fact, in an era when many of the legal provisions corresponding to the protection of underage children are still not perfect, and the existing laws and regulations cannot be fully implemented, Mu Zhengfang's behavior of often abusing and beating his children will not really be as good as Kong Mingzhong scared Mu Zhengdi, because he beat the children, he was directly arrested and imprisoned in a prison cell for several years.

And whether it is in this era or in the 21st century, Mu Hongmei's sister and brother, who have a father still alive in the world, cannot meet the conditions for directly living in any orphanage.

Although Mu Hongmei is illiterate, she is by no means legally illiterate. Especially because she had this kind of experience as a child, so she paid attention to the relevant regulations in this area in her previous life.

So she still knows this bit of legal common sense.

Mu Hongmei knew very well in her heart that according to the situation of her family, her father would make trouble at the police station, even in a backward place like them, the 'rights' that the police could illegally exercise would definitely be greater, but at most, her father would be arrested at the police station and beaten a few times, locked up for a few days, and then after a strict warning, she would finally be released back.

However, this is useless.

It's useless not to say, with her father's temperament that doesn't care about the consequences, she and her brother will really be better off than dead in the future.

When the police beat his father, they would also grasp the measure and arrange to kill people. But when her father was beaten and locked up for a few days, when he turned his head and went home to beat her sister and brother, he didn't care about any proportions.

And as a rural woman who has lived most of her life and has never seen much of the world, she knows how important a family with a few acres of land is to her younger brother.

Even if the family has a few acres of land, there is also a father who combines tyranny and laziness and other shortcomings, she is convinced that as long as she is willing to work hard, then the two siblings will eventually grow up and live a better life than in their previous life.

As for whether her sister and brother can suffer less than in their previous lives before they grow up, she has to rely on herself, and she has to use the trick that has already worked the most.

Just when Mu Hongmei, who already had an idea in her heart, dragged Kong Mingzhong to persuade her, Mr. Zhang, who had just rushed over from Hexi that afternoon, also persuaded Kong Mingzhong to take the deceased first, and he still had to take care of the big thing of giving Li Guo a needle seven burnt buns, and don't make any more twists and turns.

Kong Mingzhong was already thinking about finishing Li Guozhen's aftermath earlier, but was reminded by Mr. Feng Shui surnamed Zhang, so he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and took Mu Hongmei to basket the things that were going to be carried up the mountain.

The first seven burned buns are an old custom in this place.

Legend has it that on the seventh day after death, a person will leave the world of nostalgia and enter hell. From now on, only when the ghost door is opened in July every year, and festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival every year, will they return to the world to receive the incense, paper money and clothes burned by their relatives.

Therefore, for those who have just died, they should burn (carry) enough money and goods to use in the first seven hours to make their life in hell more comfortable.

To put it bluntly, it is actually a kind of good wish of the living person to take care of the deceased with reference to various common senses in real life, so that he can live a happy life with plenty of food and clothing in another world. It can also be said to be a kind of spiritual sustenance for living people.

Not all of the above analyses are soulless. At least in her previous life, Mu Hongmei, a somewhat superstitious rural woman, could also accept this set of rhetoric from her daughter's mouth.

At that time, in addition to feeling reasonable, I admired her eloquent and knowledgeable daughter, and I was proud to have such a daughter.

But since she was reborn and woke up, she has become a little more superstitious than in her previous life. I also believe in the ghost theory even more. In her opinion, even if there are no ghosts in this world, there are definitely souls after death.

Otherwise, what would it be like to be the only rebirth event in the world that she has encountered in this thousand years?

Therefore, in the matter of burning buns for her mother, Mu Hongmei was no longer as good as helping her neighbors do white things in her previous life, thinking that she was just going through the motions according to customs, but she was prepared very carefully.

In addition to preparing some clothes and supplies for Li Guozhen before his death, as Kong Mingzhong confessed, she also quietly took out 5 yuan of the total deposit of only 6 yuan, 3 jiao and 7 cents when she cleaned the house.

With the 5 yuan, she went to the only store in the village, which was more than 200 meters away from her home, that is, the public sales cooperative, and bought back a small half basket of yellow straw paper, and turned out the chisel that her grandfather used to 'play copper coins' every year when her grandfather was alive, and used most of the yellow paper to make the traditional dark coins used in this era.

(In the '80s and early '90s, there was certainly no readily available paper money to sell, at least in the countryside.) When you want to use it, it seems that you buy yellow straw paper, which is commonly known as paper money, and process it into paper money with tools by yourself. Here, we use a carpenter to make a semi-circular tool called a chisel with a semi-circular edge, and use it to make rows of copper coins on the top of the yellow wedding. I won't explain how to beat me, because although I have seen it, I was too young to remember it. When I reached the age where I could remember, it seemed that I had used the finished product. Khan a)

The remaining small part of the straw paper was a good skill she learned from the village ladies when she lived for most of her life in her previous life when someone in the village had something to help, and the paste made of rice flour was glued into several sets of clothes of different styles and several pairs of shoes of different styles.

According to Mr. Zhang, all the clothes and favorite small items worn by the dead before their death had to be burned.

But for Li Guozhen's favorite sewing kit before his death, and the thickest and most valuable blue cotton jacket that Li Guozhen wore on Mu Hongbing in the morning, Mu Hongmei was reluctant to burn it.

I left these two relics of my mother to remember them.

Second, although Mu Hongmei is more superstitious than before, she is not pedantic, and when she thinks about her filial piety for her mother, she is also very aware of her current situation.

For this poor and white family, the clothes worn by the whole family in winter are too thin even if they are patches, whether it is the needle and thread in the sewing kit or the cotton jacket that can protect the soldiers from the cold, they are all items that their sisters and brothers who still need to survive are very much needed at present.

She believed that even if her mother had a spirit, she would approve of leaving these things for their siblings.

These things are not too much, but they are not too much, plus the incense, candles, wine, and meat to be used during the sacrifice, and a red rooster that Kong Mingzhong grabbed from home to use during the ceremony, and it also contained a whole big basket.

Mu Zhengfang, who promised to follow him up the mountain during the day, has not been seen so far, and these things can only be carried by Kong Mingzhong, an old man in the age of the sixtieth year.

As for the "professional suit" used by Mr. Feng Shui when he did things, it was carried by the old man surnamed Zhang, who farmed the land on weekdays and showed people feng shui in his spare time, with a military canvas bag and carrying a treasure.

This is how the group of three set off. As for Mu Hongbing, who was more than two years old, he was sent out of the house by Kong Mingzhong before he left, and his wife was temporarily in charge.

After all, the burning of buns had to be carried out in front of Li Guozhen's grave.

Originally, Mu Hongmei wanted to bring her younger brother. But according to Kong Mingzhong's statement, that place is far away, and it is inconvenient to take Mu Hongbing with him.

Mu Hongmei, who heard this at the time, felt a little strange in her heart, because her mother's grave was on the hill behind the villagers' settlement that everyone likes to use the word 'village', and it was only two or three miles away from her home.

But then I thought that Kong Mingzhong had to carry such a big basket of things, and he really couldn't carry it when he was six years old, and he still had to be supported and led by Mu Hongbing, who still had to be supported and led by someone to walk, walked two or three miles, and the time was not early, so he didn't say too much.

But because Mu Hongmei didn't want to embarrass people's intimate behavior, she almost made a big mistake under this.

The Mu family is an outsider who fled from abroad decades ago, and the three generations who settled in the village have not been developed and are still very poor, so there is no ancestral tomb that belongs to the Mu family alone.

Like the Mu family, there are many poor ancestors in Caiyun Village, and generally the family is gone, so they invite a feng shui gentleman like Mr. Zhang to take a look, and he said that which wasteland around the village is suitable will be buried.

And Feng Shui is also a question, and the theories are all reasonable. In addition to a few ancestral cemeteries that were occupied by large families in the early years, the best remaining feng shui treasures in Caiyun Village are in the people's tomb mountain.

When Li Guozhen died, because in his previous life, Mr. Liu, who was supposed to show her the feng shui of the cemetery, was busy chopping vegetables to sell, so Kong Mingzhong had to run a long way and invited Mr. Zhang, who has always been good at tossing the main family in Hexi, to come to see feng shui and choose the cemetery.

This Zhang Xingsheng is famous for being able to toss, as if he doesn't toss and toss, it seems that he is not level.

According to Mr. Zhang's statement at the time, Li Guozhen died at a young age (he was young and drowned in the reservoir, according to his account, it is called: died of death), and the cemetery had to be far away from the village, and it had to be a place with less yin qi.

Therefore, Li Guozhen's grave is now a little different from the previous life, it is no longer a people's grave buried in the mountain behind the village (not a person with hundreds of surnames, but anyone can be buried regardless of surname), but was selected five or six miles away from the village, on a small sandy mountain with few trees and plenty of sunshine.

Mu Hongmei 'just came back' and didn't have the opportunity to participate in Li Guozhen's funeral a few days ago, so naturally she didn't know that her mother Li Guozhen's grave had miraculously changed.

Therefore, when she saw that Mr. Feng Shui, surnamed Zhang, who took the lead in the front, 'went in the wrong direction', and did not go along the highway to the village, but went on a dirt road on the side of the highway that villagers would walk when they herded livestock, Mu Hongmei didn't think much about it, so she reminded directly.

"Grandpa Zhang, where are you going? My mother" The words of the exit reminder were not finished, and when she saw Kong Mingzhong following closely onto the pastoral road on the side of the highway, Mu Hongmei's words were choked in her throat.

However, she was only puzzled for a moment, and then her heart tightened, and she boldly made a guess.

The feng shui gentleman who claimed to help his mother personally look at the feng shui of the cemetery before this time went to the wrong place after a few days, which can barely be explained as 'too busy with business' recently, and he is not very careful, so it makes sense.

However, with the relationship between Grandpa Kong and his own family, it is absolutely impossible to make the mistake of the cemetery where her mother is buried.

When she analyzed such a conclusion in her mind in an instant, Mu Hongmei's heart suddenly panicked.

This sudden panic did not stem from the fear that his words and reminders would arouse any suspicion.

After all, she's just a six-year-old kid now. After a few days, I can't remember the grave where my mother was buried, although it chills the listener, but it should barely be able to say.

The reason why I was flustered was because I knew what the change in the two lives meant if my mother's grave was not the same place as the previous life, as I had guessed.

Mu Hongmeiyin was in a panic when she was standing in place, Kong Mingzhong, who was walking in front, also stopped, turned around and stared at her with a little doubt for a few seconds, and then was obviously relieved, but looked at her with a little pity and helplessness.

"Alas~ You kid, it's only been a few days, why don't you remember this kind of thing." When Kong Mingzhong said the last word, his voice was as soft as muttering.

After speaking, he shook his head, and seeing that Mu Hongmei was standing still, Kong Mingzhong beckoned to her with a loving smile: "Come, come to grandpa and pull grandpa all the way." ”

Although Kong Mingzhong's words were light before, Mu Hongmei, who was young and sharp-eared, listened to it all.

At this time, his heart was like a storm, but he also obediently followed quickly, stretched out his right hand that he couldn't control a little trembling, and tightly grasped Kong Mingzhong's big hand that was full of wrinkles and old age spots, but it looked very powerful.

Kong Mingzhong didn't notice Mu Hongmei's abnormality at all, but he slowed down his steps and continued to walk up the mountain along the cattle road, while admonishing.

"Remember Grandpa's words, this is the way to your mother's grave, you have to memorize it in your heart. In the future, every Qingming Festival, you have to bring your brother to burn some money for your mother to sweep the tomb. ”

Mu Hongmei has no time to appreciate the sadness and blame in Kong Mingzhong's words, but they also contain serious teachings.

Because her heart has been completely filled with more intense panic than when she was just guessing before.

So that she could only hold on to Kong Mingzhong's big hand, like a stiff little puppet, she was pulled by Kong Mingzhong and walked on the pasture road where there were a lot of peanut grains and sheep dung, and a pile of cow dung appeared not far away.

For Mu Hongmei, the information brought by Kong Mingzhong's words was like a thunderbolt from the blue.

At this moment, there was only this one piece of information in Mu Hongmei's mind, which kept echoing and tumbling like rolling thunder.

The site of my mother's grave is really different from her previous life!

It's really changed!

Why has it changed?

How could it have changed!

This is not Mu Hongmei's fuss, rare and strange.

After all, the qiē she represents and the qiē she is facing now can be said to be her past life, or it can be said to be her past!

Even if she is a rural woman with little education, she is also a rural woman who has lived for more than 40 years, and she is still a rural woman with normal thinking and no lack of mind.

Bottom line: she's definitely a normal person!

She didn't dive until 2028, and she has lived in the world for more than 40 years, with a variety of film and television dramas such as time travel, rebirth, science fiction, thriller, fantasy, etc., so much that she doesn't want to watch.

One of the things she knows best is that whether they are reborn or crossed, those things that belong to the 'things that have happened' belong to history.

Therefore, in her opinion, all the qiē, whether she remembers it or not, but as long as it happened in the past life, even if she has been reborn now, it should be the same as in the previous life.

For example, her mother drowned in the same amount of time this time. Then, the place of burial is absolutely impossible to change, and it should still be on the grave mountain of the people behind the village.

And her tyrannical father, who was still on the first seven days of her mother's life, beat her to the ground and almost died.

In order to change history, it is necessary for people like her to actively participate in it and consciously change it, or because of the intervention of people like her, there will be a chain reaction to change 'history' to a greater or lesser extent.

But now, she was just reborn yesterday, and she didn't even have a chance to participate in her mother's funeral, so how could she change anything?

However, if she can be reborn before her mother drowns, then even if she fights for her life and dies again, she will definitely stop it.

Even if she still comes back late and has to face her mother's death, then, on the first seven days of her mother's life, that is, yesterday, no matter how stupid she is, she will never be beaten like that by her father again.

Those hypothetical things don't make the slightest sense to talk about.

But the only thing she can be sure of now is that from now on, she will definitely not be like in her previous life

But now, the cemetery where my mother was buried has changed so much without her intervention?

How is this possible?

What does this mean?

If everything that seems to her to be historical will change, it is the intervention of external forces that has produced changes.

So, in the case that it is obviously not herself, will this change come from 'who' external forces?

Or maybe she was wrong. These changes have changed only because of the sudden appearance of her, an impossibly reborn?

Is this really possible?

No way! Even the most bloody film and television dramas will not act like this. In addition to being too unscientific, the biggest reason is that it can't fool the audience!

was led by Kong Mingzhong and walked out of the distance, Mu Hongmei still looked stunned, but her small body trembled even more with the in-depth and thorough analysis of her heart.

She is a person with a strong personality who faces difficulties and dangers and changes head-on, but at this time, she begins to fear the unknown behind this change, which seems impossible to her.
