In the cold winter, the snow fell outside the house, and on the grave, there was a white coat, and the Han Pass also entered a truce!

In the thatched hut, the three of Yunqi are sitting around the fire, drinking wine and roasting the fire to keep warm, on the stove, there is an elk, and the aroma of barbecue meat fills the whole thatched hut. The three of them talked and laughed, and Yunqi also flipped a few times from time to time to prevent scorching, and the firelight was printed on his face, making his face a little red.

"Eun Gong, why did you become a corpse carrier in the first place?" Ah Qiang is still young, and he has not experienced many things, so he is full of curiosity.

Yunqi turned the shelf of roasting elk twice, and then said: "Actually, I am from the Northern Regions, I want to look around before I came here, when I saw a battle in Liuhan Pass, it was the first time I saw the tragedy of the war, and I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to change, and I just went to ask the generals to lead the army, hoping that they could stop the war, but unfortunately not only did it not work, but it almost caused death." After that, I had the idea that since I couldn't change anything, I could only do something for them when they died. So I went to buy some cows, horses, and carts, and transported them back for burial, and I didn't think much about it at the time, but then the news spread, and I gradually got the name of 'corpse carrier'. ”

After Yunqi finished speaking, seeing that the roast meat on the surface of the elk was cooked, he took out a knife and sliced some for Ah Qiang and Tao Ping.

"Then I don't know how long Engong has been here?" Tao Ping asked out loud after swallowing a piece of roast meat in his mouth.

"It's only been more than a year!" Yunqi looked out the window, for more than a year, the originally vast open space next to the thatched hut was already full of bones, and the number on the wooden board had also been engraved with "Wu Baijiu Shijiu".

Yunqi felt that this topic was too heavy, and asked rhetorically, "What about you, let's talk about you, who else is in the family?"

Ah Qiang was the first to reply: "My father died early, and there is only one mother in the family who is not in good health, and he joined the army to save more money for his mother's medical treatment, you know all these kindnesses!"

Yunqi nodded, Ah Qiang's situation had already been told to him, so he asked Tao Ping again: "What about you?"

Tao Ping took a sip of wine, stared at the flames, and said with some reluctance to mention: "My father and mother are alive, and I have a younger sister, but my father likes to drink, every time he gets drunk, he likes to beat my mother and sister, and later plans to sell my sister for wine money, I fought with him, and then joined the army, and then made some military achievements, and was promoted and reused by the general, my father did not dare to bully my mother and sister anymore, and the life of the family was better." ”

That night, Tao Ping lay in the corpse and moaned, and the reason why he was so desperate in his eyes was also because he was worried that after his death, their mother and daughter would suffer again.

Yunqi looked at Tao Ping and Ah Qiang, and sighed with some emotion, as the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read!

"When the war is over, you will go home separately!

Around them, it is the greatest filial piety, and I think they need you the most!"

After Yunqi finished speaking, he took a sip alone, remembering his parents in Ding'an City, when he returned to Tianqing Sect to die, although he was lucky not to die, but he didn't have time to see his parents, and I don't know how they are doing at the moment.

Winter has gone to spring, everything has recovered, and the grave is full of wild flowers, and then there is an exciting good news that the two sides have stopped fighting! This time, I am afraid that there will be no more war in the Han Pass in a short period of time, after all, the four neighboring dynasties have all fought, and no matter what, they will have to rest.

In order to ensure that there was really no war, the three of Yunqi waited for a month, and they never heard the sound of war drums in Liuhanguan again.

Standing at the head of the grave, looking at the wild flowers on the tomb, Yunqi was a little relieved, and bowed to them, hoping that they could rest in peace; Yunqi chuckled at the corner of his mouth and walked into the hut, today was the day they agreed to part, and at this moment Tao Ping and Ah Qiang were in the hut, waiting for their final goodbye to him.

"It's all packed?" Yunqi asked.

The two of them both nodded, then glanced at each other, knelt on their knees, and thanked Yunqi for saving their lives, Yunqi helped them up, and during this time, the three of them helped each other, like a family. After helping the two of them, Yun Qi took out some of the things he had prepared, except for some source crystals, the rest were mostly some ordinary medicinal materials, and of course, among the ones given to Ah Qiang, there was also a pill that could cure his mother's illness.

Thanks again to the two!

"It's not too early, let's go!" Over the years, Yunqi has experienced too many partings, but every time he parted, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The two nodded, each rode a horse, one south and one west, and returned home!

Among Ma Peng, there was only one ox cart left with half a cart of haystacks, which Yunqi kept for himself, and he gave the rest to nearby farmers, who still gave him a lot of help for more than a year.

After leaving a letter for Feng Xiaowai in the room, Yun Qi set up an ox cart and also headed towards the Western Regions, the reason why he did not set off with Tao Ping was because he had no purpose in this trip, and wanted to go leisurely.

...

Qingzhu explored the way, the turbid wine in his hand, Yunqi crossed the Liuhan Pass, and I don't know how long he walked, came to a mountain forest, walked slowly along the forest path, saw the smoke rising not far away, knew that there was a family there, and planned to go to spend the night, and suddenly saw a man in the forest, standing in front of a lonely grave, the man was in his early thirties, dressed very neatly, wearing a red robe and new makeup, like a man's wedding robe, after seeing Yunqi, he was stunned for a moment, and then left quickly. Yunqi wanted to stop him, but it was too late, and the man turned around a corner and saw no one. Yunqi smiled bitterly, feeling that this thing was very strange, how could anyone wear a wedding robe to worship at the grave?

A lonely grave, found some memorial objects in front of the tomb, a few wisps of incense and candles, on the tombstone, but there was nothing, this is actually a wordless tombstone.

The deceased is the greatest, Yunqi bowed to the wordless tombstone three times, remembered a little, and took advantage of the fact that the sky was not dark, and continued to hurry, heading towards the smoke. About half an hour, Yunqi saw a small town from afar, there were some lights in the town, and he was about to move forward, a fork in the road appeared in front, the avenue went to the town, but the path did not know where to go, but on the path, a piece of red silk handkerchief fell, remembering the man he saw just now, thinking that this should be what he dropped, so he picked up the silk handkerchief and went towards the path.

Not long after, a dilapidated thatched house came into view, in the thatched house, the lights were dim, Yunqi was just about to step forward, and a man in tattered clothes came out, looking extremely sloppy, holding a torch, as if he was about to come out to find something. Yunqi couldn't believe that this man was the neatly dressed and well-dressed person he had just seen. When the man saw Yunqi, he turned around and prepared to go back, this time, Yunqi spoke in time: "Are you looking for this thing?"

When the man saw the silk handkerchief in Yunqi's hand, he ran over excitedly and snatched it away, the speed was by no means something that an ordinary person could do. After turning it over and over again, carefully checking if there was anything broken or dirty, and after finding that it was okay, he bowed to Yunqi, and then turned back.

"Wait a minute, this brother, you see it's getting late, can I spend the night at your house!" Yunqi was full of curiosity about this man, so he asked. The man turned to look at him, didn't speak, but his eyes agreed, Yunqi hugged his fists and thanked him, and followed the man into the thatched hut, which can be described as poor, with a bonfire in the center, with a copper stove on it, as if it was cooking something, a few meters away, there was a pile of thatch, half a mat, this should be the man's bed. In the corner, there are a few large boxes, and the boxes are locked, and generally valuables will be locked, but the man's family is like this, it is difficult to imagine that there are any valuables.

After the man led Yunqi into the house, he ignored him anymore, and sat directly by the bonfire, fiddling with his own dinner, Yunqi was not surprised, found a place to sit down, and asked: "My name is Yunqi, I don't know what to call Brother Tai?"

The man glanced at Yunqi and said the first sentence: "It's just a nightstay, there's no need to know the name, there is hay in the corner, you can find a place to shop it yourself!" Then he wrapped his palm with his sleeve, took off the copper stove, and poured out the contents of it, Yunqi glanced at it and found that it was all soup made of some wild vegetables and mushrooms, and it was only one person.

"Do you want to drink?" the man asked Yunqi politely.

Yunqi responded with a smile: "No need, I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself!"

The man didn't say anything polite to him, took a few sips, quickly put the wild vegetables into his stomach, and then threw the dishes and chopsticks aside, and lay down on the "bed" to sleep. Yunqi didn't feel sleepy for a while, and sat alone by the campfire, thinking about what kind of person this man was, and what had happened?
