The next day, Grandpa Song drove the mule cart to deliver the goods alone, and originally Brother Song also had to follow, because Ling'er came, the Song family treated Ling'er as a distinguished guest, and his mother had to ask Brother Song to stay with Ling'er, so Brother Song didn't go.

In fact, the real reason why Aunt Song had to keep Brother Song Ling'er was very clear, looking at the way she looked at herself, as well as the jokes of the people in the village, it was not Ling'er boasting, Aunt Song really fell in love with Ling'er and wanted to match herself with Brother Song.

But how is this possible? Ling'er always felt that Little Brother Song was just a little child, how could she play with him?

Alas, the daughter is in trouble, especially a young single woman, there are people who worry about her wherever she goes, Ling'er touches her face narcissistically, thinking that it is because of this good skin, right?

Ling'er lived in the Song family for five days, and Grandpa Song said that he could go back in three days at most, but he hadn't come back yet.

Seeing that it was dark, Ling'er accompanied Song Xiaodi to stand under the archway at the entrance of the village and stretched his neck to look, but there was no shadow of Grandpa Song. The villagers began to return home one after another, and the square in front of the village gradually became vacant.

As soon as the sky darkened, there were beggars and homeless people who had no fixed place to occupy their places in the square in front of the village. If you look at it in the middle of the night, you will find that the huge square is full of people lying next to each other, these people are ragged and unkempt, like refugees, but in fact, there are very few real refugees, most of them are people who have been exiled in frustration from the brothels or casinos in front of them.

These people are not good at stubble, and Ling'er is afraid of getting into trouble. Urged again: "Little Brother Song, let's go back quickly, it's not safe here." ”

"Grandpa hasn't come back yet. I'm going to wait for Grandpa. ”

"It's this hour, your grandfather can't enter the city when he comes back, maybe he has something to trip up, right?"

Little Brother Song's face was depressed, and he muttered to himself: "I knew that I would go with my grandfather!" ”

"Forget it, it's hard to buy money, I know it early, not to mention that your grandfather may not be able to help if you go, let's go. Let's go back! Ling'er dragged Brother Song back, and met Aunt Song who came out to look for someone halfway.

Seeing the two of them returning in a huff, Aunt Song sighed lightly. Took Brother Song and patted his hand: "Don't be afraid, your grandfather will be back tomorrow, let's go, let's go home for dinner!" ”

Next. Ling'er was still asleep. Listening to the commotion outside, she turned over and pulled the quilt to cover her head, early in the morning, who was arguing! Oops, there are still people crying, crying for what? Sick of it!

Hey, isn't this cry from Aunt Song? Could it be that someone has deceived the door? Ling'er was excited, and quickly turned over and got up. hurriedly dressed and pulled her hair in a bun and rushed out, and the situation in the courtyard startled her.

I saw a coffin in the middle of the courtyard. The Song family all threw themselves on the coffin and cried loudly, and there were already many people outside the hospital, what is the situation? A woman from the same village came to persuade her, but it was completely useless, and the more she persuaded the Song family to cry, the more sad they became.

After a while, the village chief came, everyone took the initiative to get out of the way, and the Song family gradually stopped, and Song Xiaodi stepped forward and knelt down: "Grandpa the village chief, my grandfather died so miserably, you must uphold justice for your grandfather!" ”

The Song family also knelt down one after another to beg the village chief, Ling'er was surprised, was Grandpa Song in the coffin? Wasn't it okay when you went out five days ago? Why is it suddenly gone? Thinking of Grandpa Song's care all the way, Ling'er was also a little sad in her heart.

The village chief sighed: "Hey, how can this kind of thing be administered justice?" ”

"Grandpa the village chief, didn't my grandfather die at the gate of the city? Must have been killed by that group of things that were neither male nor female, and they all died, and the government didn't care? ”

"The people were sent back by the government, and they didn't say they didn't care, but it took time to find the murderer."

"This is clearly a prevarication, is my grandfather dying in vain?"

"This ......"

"Grandpa the village chief, you must administer justice for us!" The Song family all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the village chief, and the village chief hurriedly went up to help them up one by one:

"Hey, it's useless for you to beg me, I'm not the county master, I can't be the master of this matter! Or...... You go to the government to dredge up and see if you can catch the murderer earlier? ”

The Song family looked at each other, and everyone knew that the Yamen place was a place where people were eaten and bones were not spit out, not to mention the Yamen of Liancheng. No amount of money you send into it will be more than mud oxen into the sea, and it will be of no use. The Song family is not a rich and powerful family, otherwise Grandpa Song would not have been a servant for others.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was a little stiff for a while, and a woman persuaded: "Sister-in-law Song, the most important thing now is to quickly call back your head of the family and a few brothers and sisters, handle the old man's funeral, and let the old man be buried in peace!" ”

Aunt Song wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, village chief, now that our mother and daughter are at home, I also ask the village chief to help send a letter to a few brothers and sisters, asking them to come back quickly." ”

The village chief nodded: "Okay, I'll do this, and I'll arrange a few more people to come over to help later." ”

"Thank you, village chief." Aunt Song thanked her with a sob, but Brother Song shouted: "No, we must find the murderer who killed my grandfather, otherwise my grandfather will not feel at ease when he is in the ground!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Aunt Song grabbed him and explained, but Brother Song still didn't give up.

The villagers shook their heads and sighed, this child has been with the old man since he was a child, and he has the deepest relationship with the old man among all the children and grandchildren, no wonder he is so excited, everyone can understand, and they silently help to do things.

Seeing that the villagers helped hang white cloth and white sails to set up a mourning hall, Ling'er hesitated for a moment, and felt that it was a little inappropriate to stay here now, so she went back to the house to pack up and come out with her baggage.

At this time, Grandpa Song's coffin had been carried into the hall, Aunt Song and Little Brother Song were burning incense and kneeling, Ling'er also took incense, candles, money and paper to burn incense and kneel, the two saw Ling'er stunned for a while, and then tears welled up in their eyes.

Aunt Song choked up and said, "White girl, I'm sorry, our family ......"

Ling'er took her hand: "Aunt Song, don't say that, I should have left long ago if I bothered you for so long, but I didn't think about Grandpa Song and him...... Aunt Song, Brother Song, your festival is changing, this... It's a little bit of my heart, you take it, I'll leave, and when I come back from the capital, I will definitely come to see you. ”

Ling'er put a silver ticket in Aunt Song's hand, turned around and walked out of the door quickly, Aunt Song looked at Ling'er's back with tears in her eyes, in fact, she really wanted to keep Ling'er, but the current situation at home ...... Maybe we'll see you again.

Aunt Song looked down and saw that there was an extra silver ticket in her hand, and then looked carefully, it was a denomination of two hundred taels, Aunt Song was startled, and hurriedly chased out, but Ling'er was already gone. (To be continued......)
