"Oh my God, this should be Xu Yuanqing, the son of the patriarch of Xujia Village. Mobile M. Zhou Yuandong took a closer look at the corpse and suddenly said loudly.

"Patriarch, then shall we carry the body to his house, or will we ask him to bring someone over and take the body away?" The clansman who found the corpse asked curiously.

Zhou Yuandong thought for a moment and said, "We have to fish up the corpse now, and there are not enough manpower, so let's ask him to bring someone over and take the corpse away." ”

"Good-"

"Wait!" When Xiao Qiongzhi heard this, he suddenly shouted loudly.

Zhou Yuandong turned his head, looked at her, and asked with some confusion: "Zhi'er, do you see something wrong?" ”

Xiao Qiongzhi replied solemnly: "Yes, Grandpa Patriarch." ”

"I thought about it just now, whether it is the rich uncle before or the son of the patriarch of Xujia Village now, they should all be regarded as patriotic heroes who died fighting against the Qi army, if we just privately collect the corpse and dispose of it, it is still a little inappropriate."

"Because, in this way, if Uncle Qian and the son of the patriarch of Xujia Village are not aware of the army, and their sacrifice is counted as missing, then their families will not be able to receive the state's pension expenses."

"Look, do you need to think about it, first let someone notify the county magistrate and the township Lizheng, bring someone over to count all the corpses, and then make other plans?"

"Yes, of course it does!" Zhou Yuandong replied excitedly.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiongzhi reminded him, otherwise, he would have made a big mistake.

After all, for a person who sacrificed his life for the country in the war, the fact of sacrificing his life for the country recognized by the state is a matter of vital importance to the honor of the individual and the pension that the family should receive.

He immediately followed Xiao Qiongzhi's reminder and asked people to go to the township to inform Lizheng, and at the same time, he asked people to send the four treasures of the study, asking Xiao Qiongzhi to help write a written statement, and then let another person go to the township, find the township post station, and send the book to the county magistrate Xu Nian.

By the time all this was done, the clansmen who were in charge of digging the ice and removing the corpses had already recovered five more corpses from the river.

There were four, all of which were the corpses of people that Zhou Yuandong roughly recognized.

Among the four, three are the corpses of people from other villages, and one is the corpse of people from Zhoujia Village, and it is no one else, it is actually Zhou Yuangeng's eldest son!

Zhou Yuangeng has recovered well recently, and he happened to take his family to watch the excitement by the river.

When he learned about this, he couldn't bear it anymore and fainted all at once.

Including his wife, Wu Jiuniang, didn't last long, and after finding out that he had fainted, he only had time to call him twice, and he also fainted.

But the two children of his eldest son, the big cow and the pear, managed to hold on, and did not faint, but fell to their knees beside his eldest son, crying and crying.

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly asked Zheng Bang to carry her off the big rock, insisted on walking to Da Niu and Lizi's side, and coaxed them gently: "Brother Da Niu, Sister Lizi, your father sacrificed to defend the motherland, he is a big hero." ”

"Big heroes definitely don't like children who love to cry, don't cry, lest he see it under Jiuquan and be unhappy."

"Sister Zhi'er, you're right, I don't want to cry either, but my tears are disobedient, they just want to flow down, woo......" Pear said and cried again.

"Pear, how can you call the little master sister? Not a spark of decency! Also, the little master is right, let's stop crying, it's useless to cry, I can't cry back to my father, woo woo...... "Da Niu originally wanted to teach the pear a lesson, but in the end, he also cried again."

Zhou Yuangeng's brother-in-law Luo Luye couldn't stand it, so she came over with one hand, hugged them, choked up and said: "Big cow, pear, the little master is right, but there is nothing wrong with you crying, your father is dead, how can you bear not crying for such a sad thing?" ”

"Alas, it's all to blame on the heaven-killing Qi army, they are a group of robbers! My poor nephew Youfeng died so miserably! And God, it's really not long-sighted, the Qi army is so bad, and there are not as many dead people as our Chu army, why, woo woo woo ......"

"Woo woo woo ......" Many other people were infected by Luo Luye's last sentence, and couldn't help but cry along.

Luo Luye is right, it is obvious that the Qi army invaded the Chu State, judging from the corpses salvaged this time, the proportion of people killed by the Chu army is still far away from the people of the Qi army, which really seems very unreasonable.

However, Zheng Bang has analyzed before that among the people who died in the Qi army this time, there were the soldiers of the king of Qi or the prince of Qi.

These pro-soldiers are often trained for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is far higher than that of recruits like Zhou Youqian and Zhou Youfeng, who have only recently joined the army, so in fact, the Chu army has far more people killed than the Qi army, which is normal.

Xiao Qiongzhi raised his head and forced back the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes that were also infected by Luo Luye.

This world, the cruel, will not believe in tears; Kind-hearted people, as long as they are treated sincerely, do not need tears, they can be moved, so crying is actually a very stupid and weak performance, she doesn't like to cry.

"Patriarch, this is ......" Not long after, Zhou Dayong and others salvaged a corpse.

It's just that he pointed to the corpse, and only after he said four words, he couldn't say any more, and looked at Zhou Yuandong who walked towards him with a worried face.

Even Xiao Qiongzhi had a bad premonition when she saw this scene.

Sure enough, the next moment, when he approached the corpse, Zhou Yuandong's body shook, and he knelt heavily on the ice with a "bang".

"Qi'er, my poor Qi'er, Dad is here, don't sleep, open your eyes, look at Dad, look at our hometown! Look at your mother and your wife and children! ”

"Look, you've only been out for two months, Jun'er has grown so tall, it's all on my shoulders, Wei'er is not bad, it's all on my armpits, and your mother, look at it, your mother has run so far to the river, and she is still holding a thick cotton cloth in her hand to make socks!"

"Do you know who she's doing it for? She told me when she came, she did it for you! She also made cotton clothes and pants for you and your two brothers. I was going to send it to you a few days ago. ”

"The day before yesterday, I went to the town to ask, and learned that cotton clothes and pants are not allowed in the army, only small things, I came back and told her, she thought, make a few pairs of socks for you all. Your two brothers are all done, yours, only this pair is left to do it, woo woo woo ......" As he spoke, Zhou Guodong couldn't go on.

He held the patriarch's wife, who came over and had fainted quickly, while he was talking, and the two Zhou Youqi children brought over by the patriarch's wife with the other, crying silently.
