The others also bowed in the same way as Liu Hao, and Lu Yue wiped a handful of tears: "I didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen, brothers, let's go!" Yan Zhenqing continued with a dumb voice: "I really deserve to be a good son of my Tang Dynasty, so sacrificing his life and forgetting his righteousness, so desperate for death, he should be praised, he should be praised!" ”

A Taoist priest pulled Liu Hao and signaled that it was time to worship. Those old soldiers didn't leave, they were helping Liu San and them clean up the bodies of the Liu clan, so they had to let their families go on the road cleanly. Lu Yue and the cavalry he led each tore off the placket of their underwear and tied it on their foreheads, which was considered filial piety.

Ready, Yan Zhenqing stood on the side of the table in filial piety clothes, and presided over the cumbersome worship ceremony with a Taoist priest.

Liu Hao had a terrible headache, and finally completed the ceremony smoothly with the support of Baguio. At the end, Liu Hao knelt in front of the altar and said to the Liu clan with tears: "All the ancestors and ancestors, even if only Hao'er is left in our Liu family, it will not fall, and in the future, our Liu family will stand tall in the Tang Dynasty and be immortal for a hundred years." Please rest in peace to all our ancestors! After saying that, he kowtowed heavily, and after doing this, Liu Hao was already sweating profusely!

Baguio on the side hurriedly picked him up: "Lang Jun's health is important, if you are always like this, I am afraid that the ancestors of our Liu family will not be able to rest in peace." ”

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Ancestors, the slave Baguio, and Liu Lang are in love." Liu Lang does not think that the slave family is from a humble background and loves me, and now the slave family assures you that you will be supported by Liu Lang in this life, and the slave family of the Liu family will also do their best to treat it, even if their lives are not guaranteed, they will protect Liu Lang thoroughly, and please rest assured that your ancestors! ”

Liu Hao's throat tightened when he said this, he really wanted to cry loudly, it was the first time in his life that someone treated him like this, what more could he ask for!

Yan Zhenqing sighed: "If my brother and sister can say such things, the ancestors and ancestors who want to come to the Liu family will also rest assured that they will go west." Zhicai is physically handicapped, please take care of him, and I will do everything else, Brother Lu and all the Taoist elders will do it well. When he said this, he completely regarded Baguio as the eldest wife of the Liu family, after all, now Liu Hao has a headache, Liu San and they are just subordinates, and the Liu family can be in charge, and Baguio is a woman.

Baguio listened to Yan Zhenqing's words, and immediately thanked them again: "Please take care of it!" Lu Yue hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this, everyone is their own people, and the affairs of the Liu family are also our business." ”

After the worship, Liu Hao lay down in the tent set up next to him, Baguio kept rubbing his temples with both hands, but it had no effect at all, everyone outside was busy, not only the body needed to be cleaned, but even the tablet had to be carved now, and the lost tablet was also newly replenished under Liu San's memory.

No one ate dinner, no matter how nervous people were, they had no appetite at this time, Liu Hao was half asleep and half awake, and he didn't even want to drink water. The clanging sound outside sounded almost overnight, and Baguio told him that everyone was lighting torches to make a coffin, and the material was a relatively complete door panel in the city.

When Baguio helped Liu Hao out in the morning, rows of simple coffins had been prepared, and Lu Yue's eyes were red, obviously they hadn't slept all night. Yan Zhenqing watched him come out, and hurriedly pulled him and said, "Zhicai should rest more, it's cold in the morning, let's go back and rest." ”

Liu Hao arched his hand to Yan Zhenqing and said: "You are all busy because of my family's affairs, and I can't lie down safely by myself if I don't do anything more." Liu San, who was talking about preparing to bury things, sat on the ground with a small bag of paper money and cried: "The ancestors of my Liu family are on the road, how can this money be enough to spend?" The old lady has always been generous, why is she so tight on the road? ”

After hearing this, Yan Zhenqing hurriedly ran to his carriage and brought two rolls of rice paper: "If it weren't for Liu Huwei's reminder, I forgot to bring paper with me on the road, and I was in a hurry. ”

The ancestral tomb of the Liu family is not far from the city in Liujiazhuang, but at this time it has been deserted, and the tenants of the Liu family fled to death, leaving only a thatched house in the barren field. When Liu Hao came here in a carriage in the afternoon, a huge grave pit had been dug next to the ancestral grave. Because there were too many people buried this time, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Hao chose to be buried together after discussion.

When it was dark, the burial was finally completed, and everyone was busy in the middle of the night to make a large mound of earth for the grave. Lu Yue didn't know when he used a horse to pull a huge stone, the length was almost a zhang, after the two sides were flattened, Yan Zhenqing began to inscribe on it by the firelight next to him, and the front was engraved with several huge block letters of "The Tomb of the Liu Clan". After the writing, a Taoist priest with the best kung fu began to engrave with a short sword in hand.

After the inscription and name on the reverse side were engraved, the sky was already bright. The rough tombstone is finally done.

When everyone set up the stone monument, everyone was sleepy and tired, Lu Yue waved his hand and asked his soldiers to rest, only Liu Hao and a few people stayed to discuss the issue of filial piety.

Yan Zhenqing's eyes were full of red silk, but he still fought hard, sat on a stone and said: "Zhicai's body is like this, we can't stay here for a long time, if you take away the tablets of your ancestors and build an ancestral shrine at home, this law and etiquette can also be said." ”

"Uncle Shi's body really can't stay for a long time, my Shi Xiaoyaozi is also involved in the medical Tao, and Poor Dao thinks it's safer to go back as soon as possible." A Taoist priest followed Yan Zhenqing's words, and couldn't help but yawn after speaking.

Lu Yue looked at them: "A certain person is a big old man, and he doesn't know much about etiquette. Why don't you keep filial piety here for seven days, and wait for the ancestors to return to Luoyang after the first seven days. During this period, I also took my subordinates to bury the corpses in the city, and it is always not good to put them in the wilderness. ”

Liu Hao nodded, and agreed. He hadn't slept all night, and his head hurt like someone was holding a hammer inside, and he even found it difficult to speak.

Liu Hao and they stayed in Liujiazhuang not far from the tomb, during the day, several Taoist priests set up tributes in front of the tomb to carry out tedious ceremonies, Lu Yue and others left a team of soldiers and horses to guard, and the rest went to Xinxiang City to bury the corpse. Liu Hao briefly told Lu Yue several simple methods of preventing and controlling the epidemic in later generations, it is a good thing to bury the corpse, don't bring the plague to Luoyang City, in that case, the entire Luoyang City can be regarded as suffering.

On the fifth day, Liu Hao's headache was much better.

The sun was shining, the wild flowers were fragrant, Liu Hao and Baguio Ling'er were sitting on the grass chatting with Yan Zhenqing, Liu San suddenly rode a horse and ran towards Liu Hao from the direction of the city, and when he was far away, he held up something high in one hand and shouted at him: "Childe!" Look I've found this! ”

Liu San has been following Lu Yue and them to rummage through the city for the past few days, in case he finds someone he knows, so that he can be buried in the ground and talk about his thoughts. After Liu San approached, Liu Hao saw that he was holding a gold-colored ring-shaped object in his hand, like a spring on the shock absorber of a car in later generations, about the thickness of his arm.

"Huh? How did Liu Huwei find such a delicate ring arm gold? Baguio took the things in Liu San's hand and asked Liu San curiously.

"This... This is the thing that Childe once gave to Miss Wang's family..." Liu San glanced at Liu Hao and said in a low voice.

Yan Zhenqing's curiosity immediately began to churn when he heard this: "Escort Liu, come quickly, could it be that Zhicai had a marriage contract earlier?" ”

Baguio also said as the eldest lady of the Liu family: "Liu Huwei, after Lang Jun preached in Yuan Guoshi's dream, his memory has been lost, you can just talk about it, maybe he can recall the past." Baguio's words seemed to be for Liu Hao's consideration, but in these high-sounding words, Liu Hao clearly felt that the fire of gossip mixed with jealousy was burning.

In fact, after Liu San said Miss Wang, a hazy face appeared in Liu Hao's mind, but it was not clear, like waking up from a dream one night and recalling a dream, ethereal and vague.

"Childe and Miss Wang have had a marriage contract since they were children, and they are in love. When Childe was fifteen years old, he secretly took the family's gold and made it in a jewelry store. Liu San said, and pointed to the inside and said to them: "There is also a son here who asked the master of the jewelry store to carve a Hao character." ”

Liu Hao leaned in and took a look, and sure enough, there was a vague small letter. A memory resurfaced in my mind about the memory of my childhood, a girl smiled sweetly at him, and then obediently was led by Liu Hao to walk through the fence wall in the backyard and go to the street from the back door.

As they get older, the relationship between the two is also increasing day by day, until after giving her the arm, the two families have already engaged to get married, and letting Liu Hao go to Luoyang is to let him experience it before marriage, but he didn't expect Liu Hao to come back from Luoyang, it is already yin and yang, and Liu Hao's predecessor has also been scattered, leaving only the body occupied by the soul of him, a traverser.

Yan Zhenqing took a serious look at this arm and asked curiously: "The arm of the arm has been given to beauties since ancient times, but this ring is the number of ordinary people, why is this ring eleven?" ”

Liu San blushed a little and said: "At that time, Gongzi brought a lot of gold, so the shop was all made into armbands, so the number of rings was several more rings." This made Liu Hao a little embarrassed, I didn't think that we had been a tyrant.

Baguio looked at Liu Hao: "Lang Jun is silent, did he really think of that Miss Wang?" ”

Liu Hao nodded: "I did think of some, the past has disappeared." The two who were once two people who had no guesses have been separated by yin and yang. Immediately, he asked Yan Zhenqing: "Brother Qingchen, is there a pipa on the carriage?" ”

"Yes! Yes! There were several musical instruments on the carriage. I'll get it now. With that, he ran to the carriage with a puff of smoke.

Liu Hao only understands the pipa instrument, mainly because no one has learned it in later generations, so Liu Hao is just a good one, but the guitar with the same principle as the pipa is very proficient. Liu Hao thought about waiting for this time to return to Luoyang, whether he would also find a musician to see if he could make a guitar, so that he could have a thought about his former life.

Yan Zhenqing ran over with the pipa in his arms, Liu Hao took the test and tried the sound, sat on the grass, as if holding the guitar, and began to play and sing:

A lonely lamp stands in the window;

I'm behind the door, pretending you're not gone;

The old land is more lonely like revisiting the full moon,

The candle flame in the middle of the night couldn't bear to scold me.
