Chapter Seventy-Three: Unusual Weather

Even if it is forty taels of silver, it is still a large amount for Uncle Zhuzi today, and he can't get that much money in hand at all, although he is unwilling to let this Taoist priest go, he really can't.

Seeing that Lin Yu and the Taoist priest finished talking about the price, he asked him not to stop the Taoist priest, knowing that Lin Yu had an idea, although if the Taoist priest really agreed, he would have to take out the forty taels, but he was also in a hurry to bury the old lady, so he thought that it was a big deal to owe the Taoist priest first, and he would take a risk to hunt in the mountains twice, and he would be able to pay him back. It's really hard to get that much money out......"

Uncle Zhuzi's words were ambiguous, and the Taoist priest was stunned, I don't know what he meant by saying that he should not believe this girl's words, their family can't come up with so much money? Or do you intercede and let yourself agree to their bargain, and only accept these forty taels? I couldn't help asking, "Then did your family take out the forty taels?" If I can take it out, I'll be embarrassed, but if I can't take it out, I'm really sorry......"

"This ......" Uncle Zhu is hesitant.

"As long as the Dao Leader agrees, we will naturally find a way to come ......up with it," Lin Yu said.

"Figured out?" The Taoist priest shook his head again after hearing Lin Yu's words: "This is not good, I have to see the cash before I can start work, don't when the Dharma is finished, you give me a white slip, then when and what month will I receive the money?" No, no. Nope"

After saying three times in a row, the Taoist priest took his mouth, and then he made a gesture to pull the oxcart away.

"Okay. You start work first, I'll go get it for you" Lin Yu saw that Uncle Zhu was about to speak, so he quickly shook his head and said to the Taoist priest.

"You bring it first, I'll start work, I'll wait for you here" The Taoist priest disagreed, and said to Lin Yu with a smile, the little girl kept rushing to speak. I don't know if he can really take out the silver, but he has to be careful, so as not to be deceived by this girl.

The Forest-Man was able to get up and walk around. But his body was still very weak, and he didn't dare to go home to get the money, so he only called over to tie the baby, Apricot and Ling'er, and quietly pulled the three to the side. They had a small clay pot under a wooden cabinet in their house. There were dozens of taels of silver that she had planned to use to build a house a few days ago, so let them get them quickly.

Apricot and Bolt Wa were a little reluctant, it was Lin Yu's money, but now they used it to give them emergency relief, they stared at Uncle Zhu first, wanting to see their father's reaction, Lin Yu was afraid that they would not go, so they hurriedly urged: "Go quickly." Now Grandma's burial is important, and other things will be talked about later."

The two of them hurriedly ran to the side of the mountain with Ling'er.

The rest of the people waited for them quietly. After half a ring, he saw the figures of the three people running back from a distance, and Lin Yu looked at the Taoist priest again: "Dao Chief, can you start work?" ”

The Taoist chief lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Wait, wait" The money hasn't arrived yet, how does he know that these children are really taking the money when they go on a run?

Lin Yu had to wait for the apricots to come over speechlessly, and counted the silver money to the Taoist priest, who took out the guy who was eating by himself, and let a few people put on filial piety clothes, and then went to the mourning hall to set up.

Grandma was already wearing a longevity dress, and the Taoist priest asked a few people to kneel in front of the spirit and cry and burn paper money, and pointed to the sky and the earth, so that Uncle Zhu and the bolt baby put the grandmother into the thin coffin together, but the bolt baby was too young to lift, so the Taoist priest hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Due to the lack of manpower, the Taoist priest did not allow Lin Yu and her female children to help, and finally had to use the Taoist priest's ox cart to pull the coffin to the cemetery, and only let them follow behind to scatter paper money.

Fortunately, it was a thin coffin, when Uncle Zhuzi and the bolt baby, the Taoist priest, and really couldn't pull out people, and pulled Qi'er into the battle before slowly entering the coffin into the grave, Lin Yu's heart was relieved, and he had a heart.

Although this ceremony is too simple, there are too few people, and it is carried out quietly, but Uncle Zhu does not dare to let the people in the village help, and now that it has suffered such a big natural disaster, everyone has difficulties, and even eating has become a problem, and many people are buried when they die, and they only take a broken grass and bury it, and even more pitiful There is a family that is gone, and there is not even a person who collects the corpse, if you know that Uncle Zhuzi's family spends a high price to bury Grandma, I don't know what ugly words those people living in the village will say?

The Taoist priest recited the scriptures again, and asked Uncle Zhuzi to start burying the soil, and let Lin Yu a few female babies burn paper money, according to common sense, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral cemetery, but now there are too few people, and the Taoist priest also wants to end it quickly to go to the next house, so he made an exception and let a few female babies follow.

When Uncle Zhuzi and the others covered all the coffins and covered a high piece, the Taoist priest scattered the paper money in his hand and read the scriptures before announcing the end.

When they got home, several people were a little tired, but Lin Yu thought that Uncle Zhu and the three of them had just done physical work, and they must be hungry, so they hurriedly let the three of them go to rest first, and he and Xingzi Ling'er hurriedly cooked.

The weather after the earthquake is really strange, it rained for several days in a row, after the grandma was buried, the sky actually began to clear up, the scorching sun hung on the head all the time, and the wood, bamboo and grass quilts that were wet a few days ago dried quickly with the speed visible to the naked eye.

Chai is not worried, but there is less and less to eat, the grain brought back by Uncle Zhu soon bottomed out, a few chickens taken care of by the apricots have already been eaten, and even the yellow leaves in the vegetable field have been boiled into the porridge, and some wild vegetables have to be picked every day to fill the stomach a little.

Because of the lack of water in the porridge and clear soup, Uncle Zhu and the baby wanted to take out the grain buried by the green bricks to see if it could be eaten. After digging under the scorching sun for two days, Uncle Zhu finally deflated, and all the sorghum corn he took out was moldy, and he couldn't cook and eat at all.

After Lin Yu slaughtered the rabbits that had been moved from his house to feed, there was really no rice in the house, so Uncle Zhu rode the old cow to the town to see if there was any relief food to take.

Uncle Zhu didn't come back for a few days after he left, and Lin Yu thought that he was all children, so he didn't let them go out, and only let the baby go out with him to find wild vegetables to eat. After the earthquake, this period of time and the earth are still shaking, but the amplitude is much smaller than the first shake, she is afraid that there will be landslides on the mountain, so she only picks wild vegetables in the wasteland, but the people in the village have no food now, there are many people who pick wild vegetables, and there are fewer and fewer wild vegetables.

The weather is also getting hotter and hotter, and there is a peculiar smell in the village from time to time, and the apricot house is on the outskirts of the village, but the smell still wafts out from time to time. (To be continued......)
