The Zhu family can use a lot of manpower in this area, and before the carriage entered the village, someone from Baibao Village greeted him, but it was the eighth uncle of the Xiang Bo family.

At this moment, the face of the "Eighth Uncle" was shocked, but more panicked, rubbing his hands and running to the side of the carriage, he said, "Xiaoda...... No, no..... Young Master Da, I thought Uncle Yuan was asleep, so I went out to work, I really didn't expect it...... I can't imagine anything like this......"

Because of mourning and crying, Zhu Da felt that his face was a little stiff, he rubbed a few handfuls with his hands, jumped out of the car, and said in a dumb voice: "If you don't do the things of the eighth uncle, no one would have thought that it would be today." ”

Every time Yuan Biao comes here, he will sleep for a long time after taking the medicine, this eighth uncle has something to take care of in Baibao Village, and he will not always take care of him by the kang, of course, this can't be said to be dedicated, but it is also human nature.

After appeasing the eighth uncle, Zhou Qingyun also jumped out of the car, Zhu Da glanced at the coachman waiting on the side, and said, "You go and wait in front of the door first, and don't move when you put people in the car." ”

After the carriage with the corpse entered the village, Zhu Da said to the eighth uncle in a muffled voice: "This coachman can't leave Baibao Village and Xincun for half a step from now on, until I say let go, if this coachman insists on leaving, you go to Deng Kai and kill people together." ”

The eighth uncle didn't expect Zhu Da to say this, his body trembled, and when he saw Zhu Da staring at him, he quickly nodded and said, "I can clean it up myself." ”

Zhu Da nodded, the current eighth uncle is a middle-aged man who is busy with farm work and business, and he was also a smuggler with blood on his hands back then, so of course he did such things.

"Master Yuan is a person who fled back from the north, he has already confessed, if he dies, he will be cremated to ashes, and if he has the opportunity, he will fall on the grassland outside the Killing Tiger Pass, and if he has no chance, he should not be buried." The three of them walked towards the village, and Zhu Da said the next arrangement, his voice was already a little hoarse.

For more than 20 years, he had no relatives and no reason, and he walked without worry, life and death have only been experienced in these years, and the relatives around him are the first time, this kind of grief and confusion makes Zhu Da a little at a loss, but the experience of life and death in these years is not in vain, he is still calm.

The Mongolian tribes in the north will take a large number of young and strong men and women back to the north every time they enter the Kou, most of these Han people are used as slaves, and they are not as good as cattle and horses, these captive young men and women have also fled back, they have a deep hatred for all Mongolian tribes, and they naturally forget to die when fighting, and the Ming official army likes to absorb these young and strong men to join the army, because there is no second heart, and they move forward bravely during the battle, and even the core of the forbidden army of the Beijing division is recruiting these people.

When Yuan Biao said this origin, Zhu Da was also startled, thinking that the "sect figure" who "ran to the north" that he made up by mistake was not going to be exposed, but he never thought that Yuan Biao had no doubts at all, but he felt that it was normal, because there were only a few desperate characters in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, who went north to Mongolia, south to the South Seas, and also went west to the Western Regions.

Just recalling the bits and pieces with Yuan Biao, Zhu Da came to the door of Xiang's house in a trance, and Zhou Qingyun on the side was no better, he was agile and vigilant, and after several years of experience, he was even more extraordinary, but in such a short way, he almost tripped over a small obstacle on the road.

It was the first time for both of them to experience such a parting, especially Zhu Da, he thought that he could be hard-hearted, and he should have treated such things normally with the fact that he had been killed in two lives, and he had killed people in the past few years, but he really encountered it, and it was still like this.

"Do you want to arrange for someone to tell Uncle Xiang?" The eighth uncle asked, Zhu Da did not agree, the cave where the salt was produced has now become a small mansion, the outside seems to be the residence of hunters and mountain people, but the inside is connected to the cave, there is more hidden, there is no need to worry about any risks, and because in the mountains, the scenery is pleasant, Xiang Bo will stay for a few days every time he goes to live, and he will take it as a recuperation, and only say that he is going hunting.

Zhu Da was silent for a moment, shook his head again, and his state was not so in a trance, and then he said: "Don't go to Uncle Xiang, he is old, and he may not be able to stand hearing such news, let alone what he can do when he rushes back." ”

Xiang Bo is really old and strong, the food and clothing in recent years are far better than before, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun let him do everything smoothly, it can be said that he is the most comfortable time in life, but after all, he is old, and Yuan Biao has slowly become familiar with each other, because he has had experience in the army, so he is very fateful, such a bad news suddenly told Xiang Bo that this mental impact is likely to cause trouble to the old man, if something really happens, he can't take care of it in the mountains.

After such a long delay, the stewards of the riverside new village have all rushed back, Zhu Da's father, Li Zongqi and Deng Kai, and Li Ying stayed there to watch, and it was not possible to be alone.

"Xiaoda, this ......" no one thought it would be so sudden, everyone knew that Yuan Biao's time was running out, and they also saw that Yuan Biao's body was not as good as day by day, but everyone subconsciously thought that the old man would last a long time, at least not now, this incident happened so suddenly, it really scared everyone, Zhu Da's father Zhu Shi has become more and more aware of his son in recent years, and he has become less and less understanding, but Zhu Shi knows that Zhu Da has a deep affection for his loved ones, and he is very worried that his son is too sad.

Zhu Da heard his father's question, but his attention was on Yuan Biao, the old man lay there very calmly, since the old injury began to attack, Yuan Biao always had an hour or two every day extremely uncomfortable, and once the exercise was intense, the old injury became more intense, but even so, the old man still took them to the northeast and west.

If you don't know the truth now, Yuan Biao, who is lying in the car, seems to be asleep, sleeping, and the old injuries are no longer attacking, looking so peaceful.

Zhu Da took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said, "Master Yuan has already confessed, if he dies there, he will be cremated over there, so I will go and prepare to incinerate Master Yuan in the north of the village." ”

There was an unbearable look on everyone's faces, Li Zongqi hesitated, stepped forward and said: "Xiaoda, Master Yuan is afraid of trouble from future generations, but it is not difficult for us to handle these things, let's give the old man a passable explanation!" ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, even Zhou Qingyun agreed, life and death are great, people at the time took this funeral very seriously, and paid attention to entering the earth for peace, Master Yuan had the grace to teach Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and the Zhu family is now very wealthy, it can be regarded as a decent family, if the master is cremated so simply, it will be talked about, and it will be said to be unkind.

Li Zongqi is thinking about Zhu Da, of course Zhu Da can understand this, he was silent for a while, squeezed out a smile and said: "Uncle Li, I understand your intentions, but Master Yuan said very clearly before his death, I am not good at being a junior, so I will be cremated in order to disobey his last wishes!" ”

Having said that, it's not easy for others to give advice, Zhu Da is usually very reasonable and respectful of his elders, but everyone knows that Zhu Da is the one who really calls the shots.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun rode horses, several carts followed, and walked towards the clearing near the mountain in the north of Baibao Village, the horse that Master Yuan rode was next to the cart carrying the corpse, the mount realized something, and kept neighing restlessly.

The two of them walked in front silently, out of Baibao Village to the north, a few miles later is the barren grassland, the fields that can be cultivated around the village are not unlimited, the villagers need physical strength to walk, and the irrigation of the fields needs ditches, so a certain distance of land around the center of the hundred households can be reclaimed, with the terrain of Baibao Village, it is not suitable for farming for a few miles in the northwest, this is used to graze cattle and sheep and grass, Zhu Da is ready to plant trees here but has not yet started, but in this area, There are often places that are cleaned up, and they are just right to use.

Zhu Da's elders wanted to come along, but he refused, and wanted to arrange someone to help, but they were also refused, but they just found a clean crockpot to take with them.

When they arrived, and the drivers had unloaded the firewood and coal, Juda sent everyone away, leaving only the two of them.

The firewood and coal are packed very neatly, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun put the firewood in a circle, and then fill the coal into the circle, and from time to time they have to use firewood to make spaced gaps, which is also the method taught by Master Yuan, saying that it is the method used by the Mongolian tribe to incinerate, which can ignite a fire, of course, there is no coal there.

Carrying Master Yuan to the platform where firewood and coal were piled up, according to the old man's instructions before his death, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun searched Yuan Biao's body, which is why no one else was allowed to come here, although this was the old man's last wish, it was always strange after people saw it.

There are not many things found on the body, in the old man's personal pocket, there is a hairpin with the length of the index finger, the hairpin should be copper, the production is quite crude, it should be a certain year, but it is very shiny, it can be seen that the old man often rubs and plays, but I don't know what this copper hairpin means to Yuan Biao, and it is impossible to know.

The old man just said that he should not leave weapons and money on his body when he was cremated, Yuan Biao was afraid of sudden death after his body collapsed, so everything was very clear, put the copper hairpin in the palm of the old man's hand, hold it tightly for him, and take off the short knife and dagger that were close to him.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun took a few steps back, knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Biao's body, and then sprinkled the fire oil that had been prepared long ago and lit it with tinder.

The fire was ignited, and in such a hot weather, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were uncomfortable, but the two of them still stared at the fire, sweat and tears flowing out and drying.

"When are you going to kill Zheng Yong?"
