329. Interlude
h2> three hundred and forty-six
On the way to the cemetery, Shuilian and Shishi didn't know how to describe their personal feelings, the old lady and the old man's heart was about to come true, and the two of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, if they could take a living person back, it would be a different scene.
"Alas, all these years the family is poor, and no one has set up a tombstone, and the close relatives of the Qi family have disappeared all these years, this ancestral tomb doesn't know what it has become like to be barren, at the beginning we can still go over to help burn some paper money, these years ......, alas, don't mention it......"
When she really arrived at the place, Shui Lian knew what the ancestral graves of the Qi family were like, no wonder the man sighed all the way.
Some of the crooked tombstones were even smashed and there was a pile of broken stones, and some of the graves were almost flattened, and it was almost impossible to see that there were still people buried in this place, and it was really full of devastation to see, to say that the war happened in this place, she and the stone both believed.
No wonder the man just now comforted them so much, just this place, it is estimated that no one has come for many years, and the wild grass on the grave can cover the height of their sister and brother.
Qi Lei sighed while watching, "Fortunately, my grandfather and they didn't come, if they saw their ancestral grave like this, they wouldn't have to cry......"
When she arrived at the grave of Qi Boyuan's son, Shui Lian really felt an indescribable sense of desolation in her heart, the door of the grave had collapsed, and it was estimated that it was a tombstone replaced by wood, and the upper half of the wood had long been rotten, but the remaining half buried in the soil was still swaying in the wind.
Seeing this, her heart couldn't help but hurt, if Mrs. Qi saw her son's tomb become like this, she didn't know how to feel heartache.
The man who brought them over also felt that it was a bit desolate, and was busy helping the stones and water lilies to burn all the weeds in the vicinity.
The two sisters and brothers knelt in front of the grave and solemnly kowtowed three times to the uncle they had met.
"Uncle, you don't think this can be done, my grandparents are also old, and it is unlikely that they will come here to preside over the tomb in person, we will pay for it, you can help find some people, and help repair the ancestral tomb and my uncle's tomb during this time, after all, my uncle is also a martyr."
We can't let the martyrs shed their blood and sacrifice for us and have to be treated like this, whether there is a spirit or not, even if we are the living to warm our hearts, we should do something, do you say yes.
Don't worry, we will pay for the labor, you will come out of this money if you need anything, if it is not enough, we will come back again, it is estimated that we can also rush over to pay a good worship after you finish repairing, our sister and brother still have something to do, so we can't stay here longer......"
When the man saw the money handed over by the Shuilian sisters and brothers, even he himself was a little stunned, no one expected that the two children who were dressed so ordinarily would be so generous.
Seeing that the man was stunned, Shuilian didn't think it was enough.
"Uncle, I've got so much on me, if it's not enough, I'll give it to you later."
The man shook his head a little embarrassedly, and took out some of the money, "These are enough for us, you two still have things, don't even have no travel expenses, being able to give your ancestors a grave shows the filial piety of the two of you......"
Shui Lian smiled and took out another part of the money in her hand and handed it to the man, "Uncle, these are your hard work, no matter what, this will delay your time, we are both young and really don't understand this funeral custom, there are some things you can help us prepare when the time comes, just borrow your stove to make some sacrifices to my uncle and ancestors." ”
When it comes to this, the man also took the money very happily, and no one has any reason to get along with the money, but he has a good plan in his heart, and he will definitely help supervise those people when he goes back.
Because the time was relatively short, the sisters and brothers said goodbye directly and continued to go south.
I thought that there would be some time delayed to find the youngest son of the Qi family along the way, but I didn't expect this accident to be solved at one time, so this time was much less than the scheduled one.
The sister and brother are on the road, and it is called a relaxed.
"Sister, we don't have to transport my uncle's bones back?"
Shuilian shook her head, "Let's let him continue to stay here, maybe grandpa and they would prefer to come back for burial after a hundred years, after all, this is their hometown, and when we go back, let's bring some soil from my uncle's grave back, this can be regarded as a thought of grandma." ”
When the two sisters and brothers stood on the edge of the Pearl River, looking at the river in front of them, Shi Shi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This is the river that our mother swam over back then?" ”
Shuilian sighed and nodded, "It seems that it should be, but you look at this river, a woman swims over, I really can't imagine what the result will be."
We can only pray that she is still alive at the moment, and we have heard from the people around us that this river also drowned many young people who were about to swim over, alas, ten years of catastrophe......"
Originally, she wanted to sigh, but seeing that there were other people around her, she could only swallow the rest of the words back.
After all, now is not the time to speak up.
Qi Lei looked far away, trying to see everything on the other side clearly, and really hoped that his biological mother would stand on the shore, so that they would not come in vain.
Seeing his brother's somewhat stunned expression, Shuilian patted his arm, now this guy is much taller than her, and she needs to hook it hard to pat her shoulder.
"Stone, it's time for us to go, there's still business to do......"
Qi Lei reluctantly retracted his gaze, his obsidian-like eyes also lost their former brilliance, and his handsome little face was full of reluctance and nostalgia at the moment.
"Sister, when can we go over there to find our mother, I want to swim over to see what I want to say."
Shui Lian hurriedly took his hand, "You guy, pay attention, there are still people around, in case someone hears the report to the top, the two of us must not be arrested, let's go with my sister, we will come back to this place in the future." ”
She was worried that her brother was saying something else, or doing something amazing, and if she really jumped into the river, she would be fine.
I've quietly inquired about the trading market here before, to be honest, it's no wonder that this side will become a small window for reform in the future, and the black market here is much more prosperous than theirs, so it's natural to buy gold and silver.
The sister and brother walked a few houses, and after inquiring about the price, they finally chose a shopkeeper who was an elderly man, who thought that the old man at least didn't hurt his heart, but when he fought with the old man, Shuilian and Shi felt that the two of them were really good-looking, and this old guy was actually the most slippery.
The stone had a gloomy face, and his face, which was still green, instantly took on a momentum that could not be underestimated.
"Old man, you are not kind, we thought that people of your age would leave a three-point bottom line in life and work, you are good to lose the bottom line, forget it, since the transaction is not successful, I don't want to say too much, sister, let's go, there is more than this one to do business......"
The old man was not tall, chubby, and at first gave people the feeling of Maitreya Buddha, but after dealing with it, he realized that this was obviously a smiling tiger, and the stone also found a flash of light in his eyes.
Seeing that the stone and the water lotus were going out, he quickly stopped the two of them.
"Don't, this deal is not benevolent, after saying this bargaining, there has to be a process, how many children, how much do you have, if there are more, I can give you a higher price."
Shui Lian glanced up at him, this person can only belong to a hammer deal, and seeing that there is an incomprehensible light jumping in his eyes, the sister and brother have an extra layer of defense in their hearts.
Shi sneered, "Old man, you and we are digging gold mines, it's just that the ancestors left something, and the family is anxious to use the money, so they can't bear to cut their love, otherwise who is willing to take out the little things left by the ancestors and sell them."
Sister, take out the things in your hand and sell them, grandpa is still in a hurry to use the money......"
Shui Lian smiled and took out a bottle of gold sand, "Old man, there are so many things, you can give a price, if it is not suitable, I think someone will be willing to give us a price that satisfies us." ”
A can of gold sand, the old man never dreamed that the two sisters and brothers would be so generous, he thought it was gold and silver jewelry at first. “
"Hey, what do you mean by this, even if I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, alas, it's still old and clumsy, little brother, since the words have been said about this, then according to the price you said......"
Shuilian saw that the old man couldn't wait to weigh him, and the sister and brother looked at each other and smiled.
Qi Lei felt that the twins had a benefit, they had the same heart, and he was really worried that his sister would take out so much at once, and he was a little unreliable about this old man.
After the money and goods were cleared, the sisters and brothers quickly withdrew, and they didn't even pay much attention to the old man when he went out to see each other.
The two of them didn't stay here for long, and the stone pulled her out of here quickly.
"Sister, let's sell these for the time being, and then sell them in another house in two days."
The two of them hid in a place where no one was in the space and looked outside with anxiety, for fear that someone would follow them.
But as expected, there was really a thief-eyed guy behind him, and when he saw that Shuilian suddenly disappeared, he was still a little puzzled.
"Why are these two little ghosts running so fast, damn, let Lao Tzu run for nothing......"
Shui Lian glanced at the outside situation with a wry smile, "I really didn't expect this old guy to still hide a ghost fetus, and he wanted to rob us halfway." ”
Shi was a little angry in his heart, "Sister, if we don't go back, we will steal the gold sand back, let him dare to fight our idea, and I will let him lose both his money and property." ”
Shuilian nodded, "Go back and clean him up, and we'll come over tomorrow ......"
The next day, the sisters and brothers dressed up in disguise, acted separately, and sold door to door, after all, at this time, no one could come up with such a large amount of money to buy what they had in their hands, and it would be faster to break it into pieces, and it would not be too noticeable.
