At this time, the old woman walked in with a meal, with a smile on her face, and explained to me: "Both of them said that they would eat after the girl got up, and they didn't dare to eat first!" ”

The old woman was full of smiles when she spoke, she must have talked a lot with Xiaoyu last night, and she was happy today.

"Thank you, mother-in-law!"

I nodded to the old woman, turned my head to look at Aunt Wang and Qixi and said, "Actually, there is no need for this, if I sleep until night and then get up, you will have to wait until night?" ”

After finishing the matter, I muttered that it was really feudal etiquette that killed people, but Aunt Wang and Qixi glanced at each other, as if they didn't understand what I meant, and also picked up a steamed bun and ate it.

As soon as we finished eating, we heard the noise outside and remembered, what was yelling we couldn't hear clearly, Qixi was instantly vigilant, I told him to relax, and the people who were interested in it were not aimed at us.

I opened the door and went out, and there were seven or eight people coming towards us, some with hoes, some with shovels. One of them happened to be the old village chief.

"Old village chief, what are you?"

I looked at the crowd and didn't understand what was going on, they all had dirt on their bodies, as if they had just come back from the ground.

"Girl, have you eaten? I invited a few local villagers to choose a place for Xiaoyu, and according to your words, I chose it on the opposite hill. ”

When the old village chief spoke to me, he also pointed to the hill in front of me, and his tone was also very polite, I guessed that she should have also talked to Xiaoyu last night, or the old woman had already told her.

After all, I was too sleepy last night, I fell asleep on the bed and didn't know why, and what did the old woman talk to Xiaoyu, how long she talked to Xiaoyu in the room, and I don't know when I went out, I only knew that I slept very hard last night.

"In the past two days, the master has come back from home to make a dojo, specially for Xiaoyu, girl, you have to stay here for a few days, it will be quite lively at that time."

The old woman came to my side, smiling when she spoke, she should be happy about last night's events today, and she didn't feel so sad about Xiaoyu's death at all.

Perhaps for them, although Xiaoyu is dead, it exists in another form.

"How's that painting?"

I suddenly remembered the portrait I gave Xiaoyu, will she stay in that portrait forever and not be able to get out, become an elf or something.

Of course, this is just my imagination, and I blame myself for reading too many fairy tale books when I was a child, and I even pulled out the word elf.

"I've already collected the portrait, and I talked to Xiaoyu a lot last night, thank you so much, girl!"

The old woman said and went to the kitchen again with her things, and I didn't stop her from asking any more. And there are so many people here today, I'm afraid that the old woman will have to cook and work again, and she also said that the master has come back to the house to make a dojo for Xiaoyu in the past few days, but I'm afraid that her old man will have to be busy at that time.

Of course, I don't plan to go back, I still want to stay here for a few days, at least until Xiaoyu is buried, not to mention that there is nothing to do when I go back to the palace, anyway, it's boring, it's better to stay here for a few days, it's better than being stuffy in the palace.

As for the other gains, I don't dare to think about it, thinking that if I can still meet Ba Qing, it would be good, anyway, this guy Fusu has never come back since he left, and he didn't even look at me, expecting him to find Ba Qing, but I'm afraid it won't.

I guess it's hard.

Since those people came to the old village chief's house, the old village chief and them have been busy with work, all of which are preparing for Xiaoyu's burial, and the old woman has also gone to the kitchen to be busy cooking and other things, and after a while, there are some old men and women in the village.

Of course, the old men all went to the lobby to help with Xiaoyu's burial, while the women went to help with the kitchen, and even pulled out the pot stove outside, so it may be to handle the funeral for Xiaoyu, at least this occasion is bigger.

"Let's go out for a while!"

I thought I wouldn't be able to help here, and Qixi and Aunt Wang wouldn't let me go, so even if I wanted to, what could I do? So it's better to go out and take a spin.

"I'll go with you!"

Aunt Wang answered and walked out with me.

And Qixi didn't speak, he walked behind me with a sword, he was still like that, when there was danger, he would become extremely active and capable, he usually didn't speak, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to me.

"Come back early!"

The old woman looked at us except for the yard, and shouted in her voice, and I answered, turned and walked out. At the same time, I heard some of the women inside ask us who we are, and this one is dressed in silk and satin, and it should be a person from a large family.

As for what the old woman said to them, I didn't hear clearly, I just thought that she had lowered her voice, and we had gone too far to hear it.

"Aunt Wang, what do you think of the scenery here?"

As I walked, I watched the flowers, grasses, soil and mountains here. Of course, since we don't wear coarse cloth clothes like the villagers, the rate of turning heads is very high, and sometimes when we encounter an incident, we will hear their whispers when we encounter an incident.

Said that what kind of people are these, why have they never seen anything like that, and they are definitely not ordinary people in this dress, these people look at us step by step, of course, I also noticed that these people are going to the old village chief's house.

It should all be to help Xiaoyu with the burial.

"I don't understand!"

Aunt Wang suddenly said such a sentence, which surprised me, I turned around and glanced at Qixi, who also looked confused, saying that she didn't understand why I said that.

"I mean, the air here is very good, the mountains and water are beautiful, it's a good place!"

I'm also speechless, and the generation gap between me and people who are hundreds of years apart is really more than a star and a half.

"Gege, are you talking about this? Those of us who are already content to be alive and sound are already satisfied, and where to go back to see what scenery is not beautiful, these are not things we can afford to enjoy. ”

Aunt Wang sighed when she spoke, and she was not in a good mood.

"Aunt Wang, you mean Xiaoyu, right?"

I know that Aunt Wang's tone is so low suddenly, it must be because Xiaoyu's matter made her think that her future is uncertain, but I can't help it, what I can do is not let her die like Xiaoyu.

"Being in the palace and not worrying about their own lives?"

Aunt Wang didn't answer my question directly, but her words were what countless people in the palace wanted to express, maybe everyone thought that the life inside was beautiful before entering the palace, with no worries about food and clothing, and they also wore gold and silver, brocade clothes and jade food.

But only the people inside know how miserable life is in the palace, just as Mr. Qian Zhongshu wrote in the book "The Siege of the City": "Those outside want to go in, and those inside want to come out." ”

"Who's that one up front?"

Suddenly, I saw a figure flickering by, and at once it flashed into a cornfield beside me.

"Anyone?"

Qixi's face also changed at this time, holding the sword in his hand, and looking at the cornfield vigilantly.

"I just saw a shadow flash from the front and go into the cornfield, soon!"

I'm not sure if it's a human or a ghost, but I guess it's more likely that it's a ghost, and that people won't be that fast, just in the blink of an eye, why are they gone.

"You're optimistic about Gege, I'll take a look!"

Qixi explained to Aunt Wang, and walked towards the cornfield in front, I saw that he walked very lightly with every step, and I could hardly hear his footsteps, but the speed was very fast, you watched him only walk a few steps, but he had already reached the cornfield.

"Gege, aren't you dazzled?"

Aunt Wang was also a little scared at this time, her hands were still holding my arms tightly, since the last time I came back from the dry well, I found that Aunt Wang's other places are fine, but there is only one point, that is, she is afraid of ghosts, afraid to death.

"I can't be mistaken, my eyes don't daze!"

I shook my head and deliberately rubbed my eyes, but I knew that I was not mistaken, although I knew that I must have been more scared when I said this, but I had to tell the truth.

"Gege, don't scare me!"

Sure enough, before my words fell, Aunt Wang's arm pulled my arm tighter, and I could feel her body trembling, anyway, this scene between the two of us was quite funny, because Aunt Wang was already in her thirties, and I was just a teenage girl here.

She pulled me like this, and she was scared, which really didn't match the identity between the two of us.

"I looked at it, and there was nothing suspicious, and there was no one in the cornfield."

Qixi quickly walked back, looking at Aunt Wang holding my arm, he glanced at Aunt Wang strangely, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, just coughed, and Aunt Wang hurriedly let go of her hand.

I could feel that Aunt Wang was still very scared, and she was very reluctant to let go of me.

"Maybe I'm really wrong!"

At this time, if I am persistent, it is useless, if Qixi does not see someone, it is a ghost. Anyway, it's not strange to see ghosts, I don't care anymore, after thinking for a while, I ignored the white shadow just now, and continued to walk forward.

"Hahaha, you are not mistaken, how can you be wrong!"
