The people of Yumen Pass could not get close to the army, but the falling snow could not stop them from coming to see them off, and everyone was burning their eyes, hoping that the soldiers could triumph as soon as possible and that all the displaced people could return to their homeland.

The trumpets and drums sounded, and the horses' hooves raised snow foam, and they went farther and farther away.

Gu Yunjin and her sisters-in-law were together, crowded among the people, and saw off her brothers, until she couldn't see it anymore, and the gate of the pass was closed tightly again, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and then raised her head and looked at the city wall.

She saw Jiang Muyuan at a glance, he was listening to Su Ningbo's words, nodding his head from time to time.

Naturally, there were still important tasks in the army, and when the crowd gradually dispersed, Gu Yunjin and the others went back to their residence first.

Gu Yunqian had already cheered up and was playing with a few little ones.

The eldest brother Dong is only four or five years old, and the pain of that night has been forgotten, and the pain of his parents' death in the war is not much under the care of the elders, not to mention the other little ones, who have already played together.

Although, Shi's mother will also be asked the question of "father and mother", but the little baby does not go to her heart.

Moreover, they do not have a clear concept of life and death.

Seeing them come back, several children poked their heads out and scrambled to call someone, Ge Shi hurriedly stepped forward and kissed them together, so as to appease a few small ones.

The Gu brothers have sent troops, but those who stay are not idle at all.

Tomorrow, Mrs. Tian and others, who are in Yizhuang, will be buried.

Coffins, paper money, in the past two months, has become one of the most lively in Yumen Pass, the coffin is better, after all, many of the bones of the dead are difficult to find, and there is no way to collect the burial, or the pocket is shy, and it is really unaffordable, but the paper money ingots, no matter how poor they are, gritted their teeth and bought them.

Because the Gu family wanted to buy it, the shop didn't want to collect cash, Gu Yunjin said that the old lady had a good life, if she knew that the coffin lying down did not pay the money, I was afraid that she would not be able to sleep well, so the store accepted it.

The ingots folded a few big bags, the incense, candles and wine for the sacrifice should be prepared, the next day before dawn, the tiger was entrusted to the next lady to take care of for half a day, and everyone went to Yizhuang.

The coffins were all delivered, and the final sorting was done for Mrs. Tian and others, and they were all moved together and sent to the mountains outside the town.

There were many people to be buried, and their families couldn't carry them, so they asked people to carry them up the mountain.

Gu Yunqian hung his head, holding a shovel stubbornly, he had a lot of strength and a lot of movement, but it was his chest and abdomen that were injured before, and he pulled for more than an hour, and the pain made him purse his lips.

But he doesn't cry out in pain, he only does things with his head down.

Gu Yunjin held a shovel, digging the ground was different from the dancing gun, he didn't touch the doorway at first, and a lot of effort was wasted, but gradually some taste came, and the movements were a lot faster.

only took care of Yunying, took care of the three children, and took care of the prepared ingots and paper money, so as not to let the wind blow away.

Coffins were buried, and stone tablets were erected.

Ge knelt in front of Mrs. Tian, and Zhixiang kowtowed: "You have been wronged here for a few days first, and your granddaughter-in-law will definitely let you go back to the north." ”

Gu Zhize was also buried together, and his family didn't know what to say about his choice.

Gu Yunqian, his own son, kowtowed heavily, and when he raised his head, his eyes were blazing, and he silently recited "I am different from you" in his heart.

On the side, Gu Yunjin took a handkerchief and wiped Gu Yunmiao's stone tablet, wanting to say something goodbye, but he didn't know where to start.

After being buried in the ground, all that was left was Gu Zhiqing, who had left a message and hoped to be cremated after death.

The coffin was moved to an open area and placed on a wooden shelf.

Gu Yunying's eyes were red, and she said to Gu Yunqian: "Seventh brother, give me the fire, I'll do it." ”

Gu Yunqian turned his head to look at her, and seeing that Gu Yunying was firm, he nodded.

Taking the torch, Gu Yunying called "father" in a low voice against the wooden frame.

That night parting, she knew that it was a farewell to death, and the letter left by Gu Zhiqing was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

When she went to Yizhuang on Chinese New Year's Eve, she didn't even have the courage to look at her father more, but this time, she wouldn't hide anymore.

The flames ignited the wooden frame, and with the sound of burning, it burned more and more, and the coffin was wrapped in it.

Looking at the fire that rose into the sky, Gu Yunying smiled and muttered, "You are right, we can all live for the Northland, die for the Northland, live and die, and keep the Northland forever." ”

The heat wave swept ahead, but behind it was still the freezing cold of winter, and the temperature was completely different before and after, which made people very uncomfortable.

The most uncomfortable thing was the smell of burning, which made people's eyes sore and tears falling down.

Gu Yunying didn't deviate from the beginning, but kept wiping her tears, staring at the flame from Wang to weakening for a moment, slowly and slowly extinguishing, leaving only ashes.

Afraid that the wind would blow away, Gu Yunying didn't care whether it was hot or not, so she put the ashes together and carefully put them in the porcelain jar.

When she stood up, Gu Yunying made a mistake on her feet and stumbled two steps, and Gu Yunjin hurriedly supported her.

Gu Yunying held her mouth and said, "Such a tall and burly person, after it is burned out, there is only a little bit left, it is incredible......"

Gu Yunjin patted Gu Yunying's shoulder, she knew that Gu Yunying wanted to talk and say all her emotions, so she signaled to her and listened to herself.

"I used to envy my father, I can grow so strong, I can hang us on a swing with two arms," Gu Yunying paused, and his voice darkened, "But doesn't my father like it...... His figure is inherited from ......"

"The third uncle chose to defend the northern land forever," Gu Yunjin said, "It is precisely because he is tall and powerful that in the past few years of battle, he has been able to kill so many Di people with a sword." ”

I don't know where this sentence poked Gu Yunying, she suddenly smiled and nodded heavily: "We have to drive the Di people out quickly, according to my father's wishes, half of them will be scattered under the city wall, and generally scattered on the grassland, and the second brother, second sister-in-law, and fourth sister are still waiting for us in the north." ”

Gu Yunjin followed her words, and his heart was sour, the third uncle made the plan after death because he knew his background too well......

The sky slowly sank, and as soon as he returned to his residence and opened the courtyard door, Chen Huzi, who heard the movement next door, ran out with two round legs buried and fell into Pang Niangzi's arms.

Pang Niangzi picked him up and thanked the neighbor's aunt, and then took Huzi home, and kept asking "Are you good today" and "Are you hungry".

Jiang Muyuan simply used some food and went to the army again.

Gu Yunjin sat down and read "Chronicles of the Journey to the West" from beginning to end.

The bookshelves behind him have been cleaned up in the past few days, and all the books related to the north and the Western Regions have been put together, in addition to the original ones in the house, there are also many collected from the town, and Gu Yunjin has to step up his efforts to read, write down, and sort out.
