Chapter 37: Heading South

The Great Chu Dynasty had strict household registration management, and if there was no household registration paper, it would not be a good citizen and would be bought and sold at will.

"Xiaoyu reminds us that let's find out the household registration paper first, and then bury everyone." The third grandfather beckoned several adults, and the men and women were assigned, and they each went to search for the bodies of the villagers in Gujia Village.

"This is Gu Ergou's household registration paper."

"This is Gu Dazhu's family."

"This is Uncle Eleven's."

"This is Aunt Jiu's family."

In just half an hour, they found twenty-one household registration papers among the hundreds of corpses.

Gu Dafu held these household registration papers, his hands were shaking. There are only about 50 households in Gujia Village, but 21 household registration papers were found in this pile of corpses, and half of the people in their village are dead.

"Third uncle, our family is guilty." Gu Dafu, as the eldest son of the village chief Gu, was taken by the village chief Gu very early on, and as the next village chief to teach, he has always regarded himself as the future village chief of Gujia Village and the villagers as his responsibility. But now, half of the people in Gujia Village died because of his father's words, and he regretted and blamed himself.

The third grandfather looked at Gu Dafu and sighed: "Dafu, everyone has their own life, they have this catastrophe in their life, don't blame yourself anymore, quickly dig a pit and bury the big guy." ”

Gu Dafu cried for a while, and handed the household registration paper to the third grandmother: "Third aunt, you can divide the household registration paper, land deed, silver money and so on that we found out." ”

If a villager comes to them, they can give them something.

"Huh." The third grandmother took the household registration paper, took the Chu family, the Cui family, and the Chen family together, divided these things one by one, and then found some large dead leaves, stacked a few dead leaves together, and wrapped the things one by one.

The third grandfather took a few men to start digging the pit, Qin Lao and Qin Sanlang also came to help, Qin Erlang stood aside and watched, and did not move, seeing Qin Lao and Qin Sanlang helping to dig the pit, he snorted dissatisfiedly.

There were so many people who died in Gujia Village that this pit had to be dug very large, and they dug it from the morning until the end of the afternoon before digging a big pit ten meters wide and five meters deep.

The third grandfather was tired enough, after digging the pit, Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang spread the dry grass they found into the pit, and now there is no coffin to collect the corpses of the villagers, so they can only spread the dry grass on them, so as not to let them go too desolate.

After laying the dead grass into the pit, Luo's father and the others began to carry the corpses of the villagers into the pit one by one, and the hundreds of corpses filled the five-meter-deep and ten-meter-wide pit to the fullest.

Gu Jinli and the others covered the dead grass on the corpse again, and Chen Shi looked at it next to him with goosebumps: "Xiaoyu and Huiniang's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and they are not afraid to see so many corpses." ”

Her two sons have been shrinking from a distance since they saw the corpses of the villagers, and they didn't dare to approach at all, and Brother Xing and Sister Mei were the same, so scared that they kept hiding beside them, eight feet away from the corpses of the villagers.

When the third grandmother heard Chen's words, she glanced at her and said, "In these days, if you want to live, you have to be like Xiaoyu and Huiniang, the more you are afraid, the more unlucky you are, and those wicked people will not let you go because you are afraid." ”

When Chen heard the third grandmother mention those wicked people, she trembled in fright, and complained: "Third uncle, I just forgot the sins of those wicked people, and you talk about them again, how can I sleep tonight?" ”

The third grandmother listened and didn't say anything more.

The third grandfather had already buried the corpses of the villagers and set up a grave, Gu Dafu tore off the corner of his underwear, tore the corner of the white clothes into two strips of cloth, crossed them into a cross, used it as grave paper, and pressed a stone on the tip of the grave.

Luo's father dug up a dead tree and planted it next to the grave: "It can be regarded as sheltering the villagers from the wind and rain." ”

Gu Dashan was skillful, using the wild grass found by Gu Jinli to knead three relatively hard grass strips, burying the grass strips in front of the grave, and then using fire folds to ignite the grass strips, which was regarded as incense to the villagers.

"Everyone come here and give the villagers a ride." The third grandfather shouted, and all the big guys came to the grave, knelt down together, and kowtowed to the dead villagers.

Every time they kowtowed, the third grandfather sang a funeral sentence, and after the three rings, Gu Jinli and they stood up.

In addition to collecting the bodies of the villagers who were killed, many survivors at the foot of the mountain came back to collect the bodies of their relatives who were killed.

At the foot of the mountain, the heart-rending cries of the victims have been echoing.

There are also those who take the opportunity to make a fortune from the dead, and the third grandfather just shook his head and sighed when he saw it, and he didn't meddle in his affairs.

After collecting the bodies of the villagers, they did not leave, but sat by the grave, waiting for the villagers who might return, but they waited until it was dark, and they did not wait for a surviving villager.

After Qin Sanlang helped bury the corpses of the villagers, he went into the mountain, and came back at this time to bring back a string of mountain rats.

Chen Shi saw the mountain rat in Qin Sanlang's hand, and his eyes flashed green: "Ouch, little brother Qin is so capable, he can still find so many mountain rats now." ”

Although these mountain rats are thin, there are more than a dozen of them, and they can still find so many mountain rats in this season when all animals are starving to death, but they have a great ability.

"Brother Qin, you have worked hard, this mountain rat will be handed over to me, I will clean it up and roast it for everyone to eat." Chen snatched the mountain rat from Qin Sanlang's hand, called Gu Dagui and his two sons, and happily ran to the side to deal with the mountain rat.

Seeing this, Qin Erlang snorted dissatisfiedly, looking at Qin Sanlang's eyes with anger: "You are stupid." ”

Not to mention saving a group of troubles, but now it's good, and with two selfish mud legs, he is waiting to be sucked by this group of farmers who don't know anything.

Qin Saburo smiled and didn't say anything.

The third grandfather felt ashamed, and hurriedly said to Qin Lao: "Brother don't blame, the countrymen don't understand the rules, so you can laugh." ”

Qin Lao didn't care, he smiled and said: "What's this, it's just a few mountain rats, since we are destined to come together, we should take care of each other." ”

Gu Jinli looked at Qin Lao, this old man seemed to be unexpectedly kind to their group of strangers, she thought of the identities of Qin Lao and the three of them, and had a guess in her heart, maybe Qin Lao was not helping them, but helping himself.

…… The identities of the three Qin Lao should not be able to withstand investigation, so if they want to blend in with the victims, someone will have to prove their identities in the future.

Gu Jinli guessed so, but she wouldn't deliberately confirm anything, now in this world, living is her first goal, as for who is gathered around her and what identity she has, she doesn't care, as long as she doesn't come to harm them.

Chen's actions were quick, and he quickly cleaned up more than a dozen mountain rats, skewered them on the branches, made a fire to roast the mountain rats, and after a short time, he roasted the mountain rats, and hurriedly put down two of them and stuffed them to his two sons, but they were taken away by Gu Dagui, and handed over the roasted mountain rats to the third grandfather.

Chu and Cui also took out some beans, added a little water, put them in a pot and cooked them, and several families shared them together.

After eating, several adults discussed the way to go in the future, Gu Jinli took the opportunity to take out the letter that Qi Yi put in the cloth bag, and handed it to the third grandfather: "Third grandfather, this is a letter specially left for us by the eldest young master of Qi Mansion, which says that it is dangerous to go east, try to go south." ”
