Ah Yuan received bad news.

Lu An, a small servant in Lufu, came galloping on horseback and reported that Mrs. Lu's father had died.

Actually, Li Wei didn't want Ah Yuan to go to mourn, her mother's home, in Linqing County, seventy miles away, had to walk for more than half a day by carriage.

She just thought of Ah Yuan's friend at the moment when she let out a loud cry of sorrow, just like thinking of a touch of heat in a cold night, which can be grasped instantly.

When Luan arrived, it was nearly noon.

He said that Mrs. Lu stayed in Linqing County, guarding the old man until she breathed, and she has not returned.

He said that Steward Lu had already set off, and he followed him, and Lu Qian would always set out early in the morning of the second day to offer condolences.

Ah Yuan arranged for Lu An to eat, explained to Master Jia by himself, greeted Bai Lao Er, and then began to pack up his things.

In fact, there was nothing to clean up, and when I came to the Bai family, I just bought two clothes.

With a few more silver ingots and broken copper coins, Lu An's lunch was full.

"I'll go with you!" In a word, I almost frightened Lu An, so I rode a horse myself, how could I walk with a woman?

Do men and women ride together?

"I'll go with you!" The same sentence, different voice, it was Bai Lao Er, who put on a new dress, and said very energetically: "Sister-in-law, I will pedal a tricycle to send you to the town, let's hire a carriage to hurry, just right, I also want to see if our tricycle can cause a sensation in the county?" ”

He said it naturally, without mentioning a kind word about worrying about his sister-in-law's safety.

Ah Yuan's eyes were a little hot, she bloomed a big smile, and shouted: "Cailian - you look at the house, I will go out to the county with your second brother, and your eldest brother will go home soon, don't worry!" ”

The little girl reluctantly watched the three of them far, far away.

After repeated scrutiny and improvement by Bai Laoer, the compartment of the tricycle is really not small. Ah Yuan can sit in it and stretch his legs comfortably, and there is a compartment to lean on.

Little Luan saw something rare, and wanted to try it, and walked slowly with the reins loose, accompanied by the tricycle of "Boom-Boom-Boom".

"Anyway, I can go to the county seat tomorrow morning, or let me ride this car too?" Second Brother Bai riding my horse? "He'd love to swap it.

Bai Lao Er thinks even more, men, the love for BMW Xiangche is the same in ancient and modern times.

And it turned out. Ah Yuan was left on the side of the road, and Lu An first taught Bai Lao Er to lead a horse and pedal, and Bai Lao Er taught Lu An to pedal a tricycle. A trip to the funeral actually made them find infinite fun.

Before Ah Yuan's endurance was on the verge of limiting, the two boys actually implemented the game of changing rides and rides, sitting on the tricycle pedaled by Lu An, Ah Yuan missed the rubber tires and shock absorption equipment in his previous life. My own ass is about to be turned into an eight-petal flower!

Facts have proved that this game of changing rides is done very right, Lu An and Bai Lao Er pedal for a while, riding a horse for a while, but it is not tired. Ah Yuan asked him to pedal the car for a while, but they still refused to agree!

The speed of the rickshaw is slow, and it has just arrived at the entrance of the town. met the white boss who was driving the ox cart home, first Ah Yuan eagerly reported his itinerary, and then listened to Bai Lao'er's advice on the sales location of the tricycle, and the family was very reluctant to let him go.

In fact, he really wanted to follow his daughter-in-law to be a flower messenger, but unfortunately the second brother was more useful than him. If you can also take care of your own business, you can only stay at home.

"Second brother, take good care of your sister-in-law!" Boss Bai took out a few pieces of loose silver taels from his arms. In the hands of the second white man.

It wasn't a parting of life and death, and the tricycle continued to ride into the town.

Only at this time can you deeply understand the meaning of the word "sensational".

This rarity was followed in an instant, behind the wheel, first the children followed, and then the adults wanted to reach out and touch it, Bai Lao Er could only run away, his feet kept kicking, sweating like rain on his forehead, and his new clothes were also covered by dust and lost their color.

"Look, you don't need a monster pulled by a horse-drawn oxen, but walk on human feet—", behind him, the shouting and exclamation did not stop.

Lu An was familiar with the place, and soon found a carriage and horse dealership, negotiated the matter of renting a carriage, and picked a large cart to carry the three-wheeled baby.

The two young men started to put the tricycle on the carriage and began to accelerate forward with Ah Yuan.

In the end, it was a professional carriage, and there were still soft cushions in the closed carriage, and Ah Yuan's nerves immediately relaxed, and he reclined on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest.

The feeling of being chased and watched as a monkey just now is really bad, and the idea of Bai Lao Er wanting to advertise by himself is unreliable!

Lu An is much more relaxed now, driving side by side with the carriage on the road, occasionally chatting with Bai Lao Er, and the night will slowly come.

Ah Yuan fell asleep in this unbearable bump, and was not able to wake up until the cold invaded his sleep.

Outside, there were no fingers out of sight, and the sound of horses' hooves "stomping" followed the pale color of the road.

"In a while, we will be able to enter the county seat, at this hour, there are still a lot of stalls in the night market to sell food, we can warm up and warm up first-", Lu An was talking to Bai Lao Er: "Or let's go to the Li Mansion first, and wait until we see that Mrs. has settled a place to live." ”

"Let's find a place to eat first!" Ah Yuan answered, and his voice was obviously hoarse: "Lu An, we don't live in the Li Mansion, it's best to find a nearby inn to settle down first." ”

They are not here to be guests, so they naturally don't want to trouble the host's family, besides, if they live in someone else's house, who knows what kind of eyes they will get from those Li Mansion's relatives? No matter how capable Mrs. Lu is, she is just a daughter who has returned to her parents' home, so why embarrass her?

Lu An understood, and after driving into the county seat, he first found the inn, arranged the carriage and horse luggage, and then took the two to the Li Mansion to offer condolences.

It is said that no one will come to the door at this time, but during the funeral, the close relatives will stay in the mourning hall, watch over the incense in front of the relatives' heads, and continue the other before extinguishing one, which is said to guide the deceased relatives to find the way to the underworld.

The funeral of the Li family was very large, and the sound of the monk's chanting was non-stop day and night, and there was plain white paper everywhere, and there were mourning and sorrows everywhere.

Ah Yuan's uncle and sister-in-law were not stopped because of Lu An's guidance. There is also the meaning of opening the door at the funeral to pay tribute to the deceased regardless of status and status.

The family members in the mourning hall are scarce at the moment, and the acquaintances who take care of Bai Shi's guests and friends are also resting, Bai Lao Er and Lu An kowtow together according to the old-fashioned etiquette, and Ah Yuan follows behind, bowing her head, and performing her previous life etiquette.

Mrs. Lu Li Wei was taking care of the incense in the mourning hall, and Lu Liu accompanied her, and heard Lu An's voice outside and greeted her. I saw Ah Yuan.

As if surprised, Ah Yuan arrived at this time, and Green Willow turned around and hurriedly whispered to Mrs. Lu.

Li Wei has lost a lot of weight, and she originally had a very standard goose egg face. Thinned into a spiky melon seed, and when he saw Ah Yuan coming in behind the green willow, he suddenly lost his voice.

Ah Yuanhuan hugged this closest friend, let her sob, and listened to her cry and confide: "I knew that my father would leave." The doctor said that he would not live for ten days, but Sister Ah Yuan, my father smoked the cigarettes you sent, and his spirit has always been very good, and he refused to take even the medicine, only saying that he was all right. Yesterday, he also asked someone to wash his face, wipe his bath, change into new clothes, and sit up and talk to me. Tell me to go home early, for fear that I have neglected my husband by staying here for so long—".

"Dad said, that cigarette is so good to smoke, it doesn't hurt anywhere on my body. My heart was also very happy, and the whole person was floating on the clouds. Even if it's like this, it's a blessing-."

"Daddy walked away smiling, dressed cleanly, rinsed his mouth, combed his hair again, lay down happily, told me to hand him a cigarette, and—and then—and then—and then—and so on."

Ah Yuan's hand gently patted Li Wei's back, they are friends, there is not much they can do for each other, in the saddest moment, they can only be like this, accompany and listen.

Old Man Li's coffin was quiet and tranquil in the swaying of the candlelight, and at least one daughter was deeply nostalgic for his voice and smile, and remembered all the love he gave.

Li Wei squinted her eyes slightly in the conversation, her chin was tilted on Ah Yuan's shoulder, she was too tired, she was nervous for a long time, and she almost collapsed in the face of the death of her relatives, she couldn't sleep from yesterday to now, and at this moment, she was finally groggy and sleepy.

Ah Yuan and Lu Liu carried Li Wei back to the bedroom to sleep peacefully, looking at her red and swollen eyes, and sighed slightly.

"Sister Yuan, do you want to light a cigarette for Mrs. next to you? The slave and maid looked at it, and when the smoke was lit, the lady's mood would be better. Midori was worried about Mrs. Lu's state and hoped that she would be happier.

But how?

Ah Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "I specially instructed that all the remaining cigarettes must be burned, can you keep them?" ”

Lu Liu was taken aback, and stroked his chest to explain: "What Steward Lu said, it's Madame, thinking that the master likes to smoke this cigarette, so I plan to burn one for the master every day, so that he can continue to smoke over there-."

"Hurry up and give me all the remaining cigarettes, and burn them to Master Li, I'll burn them, burn them all!" Ah Yuan grabbed Green Willow's shoulder and shook it a few times.

"But Madame-", Green Willow was about to cry in fright, Mrs. Lu looked at things like treasures, how could she take them out and burn them all privately?

"That's drugs! Your wife will be poisoned to death if she burns it! Ah Yuan's apricot eyes widened, and his brows furrowed, as if he wanted to eat people.

Poison? Green Willow was even more frightened, stumbling under her feet, and took out a small package from a wooden box.

A hundred cigarettes with ingredients, and there were less than ten left, Ah Yuan grabbed the package, pulled the green willow, and returned to the mourning hall together.

The brazier that burned paper money has now become a place where "cigarettes are sold".

The smoke is gone, and the remnants of the opium poppy have all been eliminated?

PS：

Today's message area is very lively, lonely here to thank all friends for their enthusiastic attention, Ah Yuan's character is not a virgin, she is very humble to live, but there is still love, hatred and temper, she is a vulgar woman, will be selfish and jealous will be unreasonable, but her kind and enthusiastic side is still retained.

In fact, who is the Virgin? Loneliness watched the TV series "Desire" when I was a child, and how many times I angrily wanted to drag Liu Huifang out and kick it a few times, and frankly said that Loneliness doesn't like Our Lady.
