Lin Jinxiu and the others sat on the stone table in the courtyard, eating noodles, no one spoke, and the noodles were eaten so silently that people were unusually silent.

"Brother Xu, if you have an injury, don't drive." Lin Jinxiu said to Cui Xu.

But Cui Xu shook his head: "I can't let you replace me." ”

"Actually......" Qianlu quietly raised his hand, "Actually, I will drive." ”

"Then let Qianlu come." Without thinking, Lin Jinxiu let Qianlu replace Cui Xu, "You have a good rest, this is an order." ”

Cui Xu had no choice but to retract his head and continue to eat noodles.

Lin Jinxiu knew that it was because he felt guilty, so he wanted to do everything himself, even at the cost of his own health.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Jinxiu didn't let him do anything.

At least he is here, and he has already put in his own efforts, but what about himself and Huai Yanqing? They didn't do anything, they didn't even see what was happening at that time.

So, for now, let them do more.

After eating noodles, Huai Yanqing also rode the horse back, and the slender young man rode on the horse, looking very handsome, but no one had the heart to appreciate these now.

Huai Yanqing got off the horse, Lin Jinxiu and they replaced Huai Yanqing to make the final preparations, and Huai Yanqing changed shifts to eat.

After finally packing everything up, it was already the dead of night, and Lin Jinxiu saw that there were very few people on the street, so he greeted his family.

It's time to go.

The night is cold, and the moon and stars are scarce.

Lin Jinxiu and his party sat in the carriage, and the horse did not go fast, in order to prevent the coffin from being torn upside down.

When they came to Yunzhu County from Celadon County, it took everyone three days, and it will take even longer to go back.

Leaving Celadon County is for a better life, in fact, Lin Jinxiu and they have also done it, and in just a few months, Jinxiu has become the third largest restaurant in the county, making more money, the life of the family has become better, and the children have grown up.

Speaking of Lele, it's time to teach Lele to walk.

After Lin Jinxiu and the others realized it, before they could implement it, something like this happened.

Let's put it first, put it away, it's okay.

Lin Jinxiu's family walked on the road for nearly four days before they saw the sign of the county seat.

Finally home, back to this familiar, but not for a long time.

Before coming, Huai Yanqing wrote a letter to Zhao Kang and Zhao Zhutou, saying that his family came here at this time and should stay in his house for a few days, and said what happened to him.

Zhao Kang has always been so cheerful, and quickly replied to a letter, with only a few words on it, indicating that he must live in his house, and said condolences by the way.

This made Lin Jinxiu and them relax and concentrate on the road.

When I finally arrived at Celadon County, it was late at night, and it was the time when the sky was about to light up.

Lin Jinxiu got out of the car and showed the customs clearance document he had prepared a long time ago, and smiled at the people guarding the city.

Unexpectedly, she was recognized by the people guarding the city: "You are ...... The shopkeeper of the splendid world? ”

Being recognized was also expected by Lin Jinxiu, she did not admit or deny it, but responded a little perfunctorily, took the customs clearance document and left.

But at this time, the news of Lin Jinxiu's return to the county seat had already spread among the officers and soldiers, and it quickly spread in the county seat at a speed that Lin Jinxiu did not imagine at all.

At this time, Lin Jinxiu himself drove to Zhao Kang's door with his family and knocked on the door.

It didn't take long for Zhao Kang to open the door and hurriedly beckoned them in.

However, after seeing Zhao Kang's appearance at this time, Lin Jinxiu was completely shocked in place.

I still remember that when she hadn't left, Zhao Kang was wearing a crimson fast capture uniform, with a saber at his waist, looking extremely energetic, high-spirited, and full of momentum.

However, this time, although Zhao Kang still lived in this house, he changed into coarse cloth clothes, his hair and beard looked like he hadn't cleaned up for a long time, and even his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he looked sloppy......

…… It's not like Zhao Kang at all.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Jinxiu looked at Zhao Kang's depressed eyes, and seemed to realize something, "Could it be ......?"

Zhao Kang shook his head and interrupted Lin Jinxiu's words: "It's been a long delay on the road, you go and bury the eldest lady first." ”

Obviously reluctant to talk about his own business.

Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing looked at each other, but they were worried in their hearts.

Complete one's misery.

But the matter of burying Aunt Li is indeed very important, and Zhao Kang's matter will be asked after he comes back.

After parking the carriage, Huai Yanqing and Cui Xu worked hard to carry the coffin off the car, ready to carry it to the burial of Aunt Li.

Zhao Kang seemed to have long realized that Lin Jinxiu and the two of them actually only had the two people who could carry the coffin, and specially called a friend of his former catcher to help in advance, and the four of them carried the coffin together, and Ning Er led the way, and moved towards the chosen place together.

Lin Jinxiu followed behind them, thanked Zhao Kang and the other little brothers, said that the little brother was very embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said that it was okay.

The burial process was very quiet, Lin Jinxiu and they didn't disturb anyone, but a few of them walked on the street where no one had walked yet, until they left the county seat and came to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

This forest is very familiar to Lin Jinxiu, because in this forest, Lin Jinxiu has had a lot of contact with the bandit village that originally existed on the mountain.

It's her pain, but it's also her medal.

At this time, looking at the situation here, Lin Jinxiu just let out a long sigh and didn't say anything.

It was already dawn, and the woods were full of mist.

The group walked in the middle of this fog, as if they were walking in a fairyland.

Ning Er led the way in front, and the group soon came to a small lake, and there was actually a small tombstone on the edge of the small lake.

"Mother, I've come to see you." Ning'er walked to the small tombstone and brushed the plants and dust off it with her hands.

Lin Jinxiu noticed that there was no writing on this tombstone, but a big smiling face was drawn.

Ning'er's family couldn't read, and Lin Jinxiu remembered.

"Bury your grandmother next to your mother." Ning Er put her hand on her mother's tombstone, looking at the scene at this time, her eyes turned red again.

My mother died when I was very young, my father never returned, and my grandmother, who depended on her for her life, actually left her.

This little girl actually began to experience life and death at such a young age, and she was still a minor, but she had already been several times.

Huai Yanqing and the four men had already begun to dig a pit, preparing to put Aunt Li's coffin inside, while Lin Jinxiu and Qianlu surrounded Ning Er, wanting to comfort her.

Lin Jinxiu noticed that the tomb of Ning'er's mother did not look like a high tomb in the Chinese tradition, but the Western way of hiding underneath.

Is this a difference from this world? Lin Jinxiu didn't understand a little, so she asked.

But Lin Jinxiu didn't expect Ning'er's answer to be so chic.

"Grandma said that if the grave is too high, it will scare the people who come to the lake." Ning Er stared at the calm lake, there was no wind at this time, and there was no one boating on the water, and the water was as calm as a mirror.

This is also the first time Lin Jinxiu has seen such a calm lake.

"So grandma said that if we think this place is beautiful, we should leave this beauty, and don't let the traces of our existence ruin such a beautiful scenery."

Saying that, Ning Er's hand gently stroked the tombstone: "Anyway, our family is illiterate, and we can't make such a formal monument, so it's better to make it not like a monument." ”

"Sister, do you think this looks like my mother is smiling at me?"

Ning Er's words made everyone around him not speak again, and everyone fell silent, watching this little girl show her sadness so calmly, like a small leaf falling into the lake, rippling round and round on the calm lake.

Finally, Cui Xu dug the pit, dug it very deep, put the coffin in it, and began to fill the soil.

As shovels of dirt flew down, Lin Jinxiu and Ning Er stood on the edge of the pit, watching the coffin containing grandma's body gradually disappear in their hearts, as if their own bonds were also sealed inside with this coffin.

Lin Jinxiu stretched out her hand and hugged Ning'er.

Ning Er's two little hands were pinching the corners of her clothes, and her face became pale, obviously a little unable to hold on, when Lin Jinxiu hugged her, Ning Er finally completely lost her strength, leaning on her sister's body, obviously enduring great sadness, but she couldn't shed a single tear.

The last shovel of soil was covered on the ground, and the four men around also left Ning'er's grandmother underground as if they had said yes, and did not block the scenery nearby, but used their bodies to protect this piece of pure land.

Huai Yanqing found a well-shaped boulder from the side, only to hear two metal cracks, and the boulder was split out of the shape of a stone tablet by Huai Yanqing's soft sword mixed with internal force.

He made it from the tombstone next to him, and the rest was almost identical except for the wear marks of the wind and sun.

"Ning'er." After setting up the stele, Huai Yanqing stretched out his hand and called out, pointing to the stele and signaling Ning Er to come over.

And Ning Er opened her big eyes and looked at Huai Yanqing, and looked at it for a while, as if she knew what he meant, so she stepped forward, dipped her fingers with water, and drew a smiling face on the stone tablet.

Huai Yanqing raised and fell with his sword, with his skills, it was very simple to carve a word on the stone tablet, plus the sword in his hand was a soft sword, and the soft lines were not a problem, even more neat than the one carved on another stone tablet.

The two smiling faces quietly looked at everyone under the weeping willows that had not yet budded, and Lin Jinxiu stood in a row, bowed deeply three times to Aunt Li's tomb before turning to leave.

Grandma, I hope you can sleep peacefully in this beautiful place.

The people who returned to Zhao Kang's mansion seemed to have completely collapsed, as if the spirit and spirit had also been left in the middle of the mountain forest with the coffin.

Zhao Kang looked at them as if he felt empathy.
