Cheng Jinghong watched this scene silently, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Such a depressed and sad mood is extremely contagious. Soon, Chen Pi's eyes were also red, and he cried in a low voice: "Childe, I don't know what's going on, the slave is also very uncomfortable." ”

Cheng Jinghong swallowed a sigh in his throat and whispered to Chen Pi: "I won't leave until Mrs. Yong'an Hou is buried." I guess I won't leave today, and I'll be delayed here for a day. ”

The Pei family rushed all the way, and they couldn't hold it anymore. Taking advantage of the funeral of Mrs. Yong'an Hou, it is better to postpone for a day and rest for a while.

Commander Li also thought of this, and ordered the guards of the Imperial Forest Army to repair for a day.

Pei Zhang, Pei Jue, and several other Pei family sons carried the coffin to the depths of the dense forest, and spent half a day burying the coffin in the soil and setting up a grave.

The Pei clan all went to the grave to bow down and weep.

Su Mu led some personal soldiers and went to buy a few white cloths. The ladies of the Pei clan hurriedly made a few mourning clothes. Pei Zhang and Pei Jue all wore mourning clothes, and as for the rest of the Pei clan, they each wrapped a circle of white cloth around their arms to show their condolences.

Such a funeral can be called simple. However, it is very rare for a person who has been exiled to be buried in this way.

Pei Zhang knelt in front of the grave, and the great pain and sorrow seemed to have condensed into substance, filling his chest.

Mother, go in peace!

I will do what I promised you.

……

Pei Zhang knelt in front of the grave for an afternoon. It wasn't until it was dark that he was almost unconscious due to physical exhaustion, and he was helped back to the post house by Pei Jue and others to rest.

Pei Jue cried for a day, his eyes were red and swollen, and his voice was hoarse: "Big brother, you have been kneeling for a long time." It's time to rest for the night. I'll have to get up early tomorrow and continue on my way. ”

Pei Zhang snorted.

Pei Jue went to serve some food again.

Pei Zhang couldn't eat it at all, and under Pei Jue's urging, he barely ate a few bites.

Lying on the bed, Pei Zhang only felt tired, closed his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously. But in his sleep, he was also unstable. He walked in the darkness, striding forward blankly. Every step I take, the soles of my feet hurt deeply.

He looked down and saw that there were thorns under his feet.

Something tripped him, and he fell in embarrassment. His head was pierced by the sharp thorns of thorns, and I don't know how much blood was shed, and the pain was terrible.

A faint voice sounded in his ears: "Big brother, big brother." Why is your head so hot! ”

"Doctor Cheng, what's wrong with big brother?"

Pei Gongzi's mind is depressed, and he has the pain of losing his mother. I couldn't hold it for a while and had a high fever. I'm going to prescribe a prescription to make people boil the medicine. ”

"Big brother will be fine!"

"Second son, don't worry, Pei Gongzi's health is excellent, this little illness is not a big deal."

Then, Pei Jue, a fool, cried again, and kept whispering in his ear: "Big brother, you have to get better quickly." Mother is gone, your illness, I have no master, panicked. ”

Of course he has to get better.

He shouldered a heavy burden and had to lead the Pei clan to Lingnan to settle down and survive. How could he fall.

The bitter decoction was fed into his mouth little by little, and he struggled to swallow the decoction without opening his eyes. Then, fall asleep again.

I don't know how long I slept this time. When he barely woke up, he found himself lying on a wooden cart.

It was nearly evening, and the weather was not so hot. A cool breeze blows.

Pei Zhang's eyes were a little dry, but his mind was no longer dizzy.

Pei Jue, who was staying beside him, was pleasantly surprised: "Big brother, you finally woke up!" You had a high fever last night, and this sleep is a day and a night. How do you feel now? ”

Cheng Jinghong also expressed concern with his eyes.

Pei Zhang thought for a while before he opened his mouth: "I'm hungry." ”

In just three words, Pei Jue grinned when he heard it. Cheng Jinghong also had a smile in his eyes. It's good to know that you're hungry, and when you're full, you'll be fine.

On the way, there was only dry food and cold water.

In order to make it easier to boil medicine, Cheng Jinghong bought two charcoal stoves a month ago. That's where it comes in handy.

Bake steamed bread slices on a small stove, and boil some rice porridge on another small stove. The tangerine peel also contributed the privately stored beef jerky and sandwiched it in the steamed bread slices, smelling fragrant and eating it in the mouth.

Pei Zhang ate three steamed buns in a row, plus a bag of beef jerky, and drank two bowls of hot porridge. The stomach is full, and the physical strength and vitality are slowly returning.

Pei Jue couldn't help laughing when he saw the sweetness of his food: "Look at the eldest brother eating, I'm also hungry." ”

Chen Pi swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Actually, the slave is also a little hungry." ”

Pei Zhang: "......"

Cheng Jinghong smiled dumbly: "I boiled a pot of hot porridge, and the steamed buns were also roasted." Let's eat together. ”

The aroma of roasted steamed buns also attracted Commander Li over. So, several people gathered around the small stove and drank porridge together and ate grilled steamed buns and beef jerky.

Pei Zhang was not suitable to move around for the time being, he sat on the wooden cart, looking at this lively and harmonious scene, I don't know when, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

The pain caused by his mother's death has not gone away. However, he was able to pull himself together.

There are tribulations and pains in life, life and death, but there is also a future and hope.

……

Pei Jue filled his stomach and came to Pei Zhang's side.

Pei Zhang whispered to Pei Jue: "Second brother." I slept for nearly a day, and the people must have been in a panic. Now you go and tell everyone, and say that my illness is cured. Let everyone not worry. ”

The death of Mrs. Yong'an Hou has caused grief and hesitation among the clansmen. His illness was even worse. You have to settle down your tribesmen first.

Pei Jue understood what Pei Zhang meant, and nodded in response.

Pei Jue first went to find a few Pei family children, and then ordered everyone to spread the word one by one. The news of Pei Zhang's recovery really made the Pei clan happy, and they swept away the sadness and sorrow of the past two days.

Commander Li ordered the camp to rest earlier, and everyone made a fire to cook, and a long-lost laugh sounded in the busyness.

Pei Jue helped Pei Zhang into the post house.

The houses in the inn are much the same, and they can be called simple. However, in the past two months, Pei Zhang and Pei Jue have become accustomed to it.

Pei Jue helped Pei Zhang to the side of the bed and said with a smile: "Big brother is much better. However, you still have to rest for a few days. Doctor Cheng said, you were too tired some time ago, and your spirit has been tense, which hurt your body. Rest for a few days to recuperate. ”

Pei Zhang hummed and lay down on the bed.

Pei Jue went to find a straw mat to spread on the ground, and then slept on the mat: "It's very hot, and it's cooler for me to sleep on the ground." Tonight, I'll sleep in the same room with my eldest brother. ”

In fact, Pei Jue can't rest assured that Pei Zhang. He lays the floor here, and he can take care of Pei Zhang at any time at night.

Pei Zhang's heart warmed, and he didn't push back this intention: "Okay." ”
