Chapter 8 Burying the Family

Because he was the only one in the village who survived, he had to complete all the work alone, so the whole funeral process was extremely difficult for Xiao Lizi.

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, and in desperation, Xiao Lizi had to tie up his father with hemp rope like a zongzi, and then resisted him from 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 bear such weight with his thin body. If there is no support for the love of the family, the little plum will have collapsed the moment his father carries it. At this time, Xiao Lizi is like Mount Tai pressing the top, and the whole body is involuntarily trembling with every step, and before he has taken three or four steps, the sweat of the bean can'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, and he was so tired that he almost fainted.

After exhausting the last bit of strength, Xiao Lizi wanted to lie down 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. After climbing out of the grave, Xiao Li Zi was hungry and thirsty, and he didn't care whether the water was clean or not, so he took the broken basin with half a basin of water on the stone table and drank it in a big gulp, and in the blink of an eye, half a basin of water was drunk by Xiao Li Zi in one go.

After drinking all the water, Xiao Li Zi sat on the ground and began to gasp for breath. Xiao Lizi, who no longer had the slightest strength, was a little angry, and he wanted to jump to point at God and scold him, but soon found out how ridiculous his thoughts were. At this time, he didn't even have the strength to make a sound.

Xiao Lizi's chest rose and fell a little exaggeratedly, and it was no wonder that letting a child in his early teens carry an adult was an extremely demanding requirement in itself.

"Is there a 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. ”

Little Lizi, who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath, looked around, and froze when his eyes swept to the door of his house. 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 wattles.

"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 eyes suddenly lit up.

"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 an ordinary person, Xiao Li Zi endured the pain all over his body, moved step by step, and swayed like a goose to the fence at the door of the house. It took a long time for Xiao Li Zi to pull the fence door from the door frame of the house, and found a strong and reliable hemp rope, and a simple handling device did it.

It was already past noon and the sun was slowly moving westward. Xiao Lizi, who was weak in the hand, suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous after making the handling device. Because he often goes into the mountains to hunt with his father, Xiao Lizi knows that this is a symptom of extreme hunger or extreme physical exertion, and if he does not eat and hydrate in time, it will not take long to completely finish. Thinking of this, Xiao Lizi immediately grabbed the remaining wild fruits on the stone table and stuffed them into his mouth.

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 three were settled, Xiao Lizi put all their personal belongings into the grave as their burial goods. Xiao Lizi looked at her relatives who had already died, and cried more and more sadly. However, sadness is sadness, and the deceased still needs to be buried after all, but his reluctance to his family makes him unable to move the first shovel of the earth.

Seeing that his loved ones were buried in the loess little by little, Xiao Lizi, who was about to collapse, couldn't stand such torture, threw the broken shovel in his hand far aside, copied the fence gate and began to push the grave like a bulldozer in a frenzied manner.

Xiao Lizi's movements were so rough that his already scarred little hands began to blur with blood, but Xiao Lizi, who was almost crazy, didn't care about this, in his opinion, the loss of a loved one was far more painful than this.

After Xiao Lizi frantically bulldozing the earth, it didn't take long for a large pit to be three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter deep to be filled up with extreme violence, and the original pit became a small dirt bag at this time.

Looking at the small grave bag in front of him, Xiao Lizi plopped and knelt heavily on the ground. Xiao Lizi knelt in front of the grave and didn't speak, like a statue guarding the mausoleum, 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, so he raised his head and looked in the direction they were flying. When he saw this group of uninvited guests landing in the nearby villagers' houses, his cheeks, which were originally full of tears and sadness, turned hideous again, and Xiao Li Zi didn't say a word and copied the fence gate next to him and ran frantically towards the place where the blackbirds gathered.

When Xiao Lizi knelt silently in front of his relatives' graves, a group of blackbirds caught his attention. When he saw the group of blackbirds gathering excitedly towards the nearby villagers' houses, he instantly became furious, because he knew that the flock of birds that had just crossed his head was none other than a group of crows that loved to eat carrion!

"It looks like the corpse is starting to emit rotting gas, and this is a big problem!" Thinking of this, Xiao Lizi couldn't help but speed up.

It is well known that carrion-eating animals, such as crows, are extremely sensitive to the smell of carrion, and can be smelled from a long distance. Crows are carrivorous and therefore extremely sensitive to the smell of carrion, but humans are extremely slow to respond to this putrid smell, and only notice it when it is rotten to a certain extent. A person who seems to be alive, if he is seriously ill, even when he is terminally ill, the damaged organs in the body have begun to emit a putrid smell, and these smells will be discovered by the crows without people noticing, which is why the hospitals, funeral parlors, crematoriums, etc. in the city are places where crows like to stay very much. In other words, if there are carrivorous animals swimming around your home when the air quality is very good, it must be someone who is seriously ill, and to put it bluntly, Yangshou is coming.

Isn't it the greatest foreboding thing in the world that people are going to die? In this way, it really can't be considered a good thing to meet a crow.

Although Xiao Lizi didn't know so many doorways, he still knew that crows fed on dead animal corpses when he grew up in the mountains.

"Shhh...... It doesn't make sense...... The corpse was laid out for a day and a night...... Hiss...... There's no reason it's so corrupt that it can attract so many crows! ”

Xiao Lizi was puzzled, and he didn't care about his body, which was actually overdrawn to the extreme, and hurriedly ran away in the direction where the crow flew......
