Chapter 10 Burying the Family
Because he was the only one in the village who survived, all the work needed to be done by his stomach, so the whole funeral process was extremely difficult for Xiao Lizi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Lizi walked to the kang and wanted to help his father up, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake his father in the slightest. After a day and night of placement, the bodies of the three people had already been completely frozen. In desperation, Xiao Lizi could only tie his father with hemp rope like a zongzi, and then carried him off the kang in an extremely strange posture.
When Xiao Lizi's father left the earthen kang, his dead body was completely applied to the skinny little Lizi. Xiao Lizi, who couldn't shake his father with all his strength on weekdays, now has to use his thin body to bear such a heavy weight. If there is no support for the love of the family, it is estimated that the little plum will have collapsed the moment his father carries it. At this time, Xiao Lizi was like Mount Tai pressing the top, and his whole body was involuntarily trembling with every step. Before he took three or four steps, the sweat of the bean couldn't stop flowing down. The grave was just outside the door, and it took Xiao Li Zi nearly an hour to put his father in the grave. After putting his father safely in the grave, Xiao Lizi was so tired that he almost fainted.
Xiao Lizi, who had exhausted the last bit of strength, wanted to lie in it forever and never get up again, but when she thought that her mother and sister were still in the house, she began to drive her unconscious body to crawl out of the grave very slowly like a dried corpse that had just come out of the coffin at night.
The sunlight in the sky was unusually strong, and the trees around it were a little wilted. The hazy eyes of the little plum who climbed out of the grave swept to the stone table, and the broken basin contained half a basin of water, and the thirsty little plum didn't care whether the water was clean or not, so he rushed over with an arrow and drank it with a big gulp. In the blink of an eye, half a basin of water was drunk by Xiao Lizi in one go.
After drinking all the water, Xiao Li Zi sat on the ground and began to gasp for breath, and the panting sound was extremely scary. Xiao Lizi, who no longer had any strength, was a little angry, and he wanted to jump and point at God and scold his ancestors for eighteen generations, but soon found out how ridiculous his thoughts were. Because at this time, he didn't even have the strength to make a sound.
Exhaustion to such a point is something that Xiao Lizi didn't expect before. It's no wonder that having a child in his early teens carry an adult is an extremely demanding requirement in itself.
Xiao Lizi's chest rose and fell a little exaggeratedly, and while taking a big breath of air, An An pondered: "Is there any good way to save some effort?" If you continue to do it like this, you haven't buried your family yet, and you will be exhausted to death. ”
Xiao Lizi, who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath, looked around, and when his eyes swept to the door of his house, he never looked anywhere else.
The door of Xiao Lizi's house is not the standard wooden door in the market, but a fence door made of extremely strong and elastic wattle strips. When Xiao Lizi saw the fence gate crooked at the base of the wall, he came up with the idea of this door.
"Shhh...... I can use it to pull my mother and sister out, although it's still more strenuous but it's easier than carrying it! Thinking of this, Xiao Lizi's hazy Yaning suddenly became bright.
"Don't wait for anyone, just do it!"
At this time, Xiao Lizi's father often taught Xiao Lizi a sentence, and this sentence was even about to become a family rule in their family.
"Don't wait for anyone, just do it!"
Thinking of what his father often said, Xiao Lizi kept silently reciting this sentence in his heart.
Relying on the strong will of ordinary people, Xiao Li Zi endured the pain all over his body, moved step by step, and shook like a goose to the fence at the door of the house. After a long time, Xiao Lizi, whose face was purple, finally pulled the fence door from the door frame of the house. I found a sturdy and sturdy hemp rope, and a simple handling device did just that.
By this time, it was already past noon, and the sun was slowly moving westward. Xiao Lizi, who was weak and weak in his hand, suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous after making a handling device, because he often went into the mountains to hunt with his father, Xiao Lizi knew that this was a symptom of extreme hunger or extreme physical exertion, and if he did not eat and hydrate in time, it would not take long to completely finish. Xiao Lizi immediately grabbed all the remaining wild fruits on the stone table, and then stuffed them into his mouth with all his might.
When carrying her mother and sister, Xiao Lizi almost worked while whimpering. After tying the two of them to the fence twice and fixing them, they were pulled directly into the grave after the fence gate was safely lowered to the kang. Although this method is still very cumbersome, it is still much better than human memorization.
After the father, mother, and sister lay peacefully in the grave that Xiao Lizi had dug, Xiao Lizi put all the undamaged things in the house and their own belongings into the grave as their burial goods. Xiao Lizi looked at her relatives who had died, and cried even more sadly. However, sadness is sadness, the deceased still needs to be buried after all, although the little plum is small, but the truth is understood, but the reluctance of his family makes him never move the first shovel of the filling.
Seeing his loved ones being buried in the loess little by little by himself, Xiao Lizi, who was about to collapse, really couldn't stand such torture. He threw the broken shovel far aside, grabbed the fence gate, and began to push the grave like a bulldozer in a frenzied manner.
Xiao Lizi's movements were so rough, coupled with the sharp thorns on the thorn door that had not been completely removed, that the already scarred little hands began to blur with flesh and blood. However, the almost crazy little Li Zi didn't care about this, in his opinion, the loss of a loved one was far more painful than this.
After Xiao Lizi almost frantically bulldozing the earth, it didn't take long for a large pit three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter deep to be filled up with extreme violence. Seeing that the original big pit had turned into a small dirt bag, the crazy little plum just now was finally willing to stop and rest. Looking at the small grave bag in front of him, Xiao Lizi plopped and knelt heavily on the ground.
Xiao Lizi, who was kneeling in front of the grave, did not speak, like a sculpture guarding the tomb, he just knelt quietly and selflessly, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
Just as he was kneeling silently in front of the grave, a flock of black birds suddenly flew overhead, and their mouths kept making extremely ugly sounds, as if they were very excited. Xiao Lizi was disturbed by this group of uninvited guests, and raised his head to see the direction they were flying to. When he saw that the blackbirds had landed in the nearby villagers' homes, the cheeks that had been full of tears and sadness turned fierce again, and Xiao Lizi didn't say a word and ran frantically towards the place where the blackbirds gathered......
