Chapter 100: Song'er Goes to the Funeral
A small guard ran up in small steps, presented a small cloth bag and said, "Young General, the Wei Yan guard next to Lord Wei has sent a gift, saying that he wants to give it to the young general personally." ”
Li Xiaowu waved away the guards, handed it to Li Fang in person, and said flatteringly: "General, what kind of conspiracy is this Wei fox making, the little one will open it for you?" ”
Li Fang shook his head and said: "He is a fox, and he will be a hunter, depending on whether the hunter is powerful or the fox is powerful." ”
Li Fang stretched out his hand to open the cloth bag, and took out the "bald" dagger from it, his eyes turned white again, this is a good deerskin handle dagger, the leather handle is finely made, the carving is beautiful, the handle is still that handle, the dagger is still the dagger, the five gems originally inlaid on it have disappeared, just like a beauty looking at the figure behind the back, which makes people's hearts surge, turn to the front to look, but it is an old woman with a pockmarked face, which makes people shudder; Or maybe he was fighting with a beautiful woman Yun-Mountain Witch-Rain, and when he smashed Huanglong, he found that it was a man who was pressed under him......
This mood is really not ordinarily bad.
Li Fang stood up suddenly, his face was dark, and he said to Li Xiaowu: "This damn Wei fox, he knows where the little peasant girl is!! You didn't even help me get it back!! Go and chase Wei Yan and follow him, maybe you can find out the whereabouts of the little peasant girl!! ”
Li Xiaowu left in response, and there was an urge to vomit blood in his heart, and he started again!! It's starting again!! As long as it comes to the small peasant girl, the IQ of the young general will regress to a three-year-old baby, and Wei Fox is not much better, and he is only five years old...... Pity my dignified six-rank Tiger General, I run behind the little peasant girl's ass all day long, the key is that I haven't found the "ass" anywhere!
Li Fang threw the dagger on the table with a "snap", the rising sun was shining on the handle of the dagger, showing a small tooth mark, Li Fang was stunned for a moment, picked up the dagger for the second time, his eyes were almost on the handle of the dagger, looking at it, he actually smiled.
Early in the morning, two carriages appeared at the entrance of Xiangyang Village, with a closed carriage in front, and the anxious expression of the old man on the wheel was all over, and he leaned forward from time to time.
In the carriage, there was a faint sound of a woman's crying, whimpering, wanting to cry but not daring to cry, suppressed in the chest, which made people feel depressed when they listened.
The carriage behind was an open-top carriage with ingots and incense candles and a large red lacquered coffin.
The carriage was familiar with the road, went straight to the third room of the Yin family, and suddenly stopped at the door, and a few people continued to come down from the carriage, which turned out to be Uncle Li, Aunt Li and their son, grandson, and a family of five plus the Liu family, and several people were wearing linen and filial piety to send the Xu family on their last journey.
Mingyue looked at Huanxi, who was alone and couldn't see her, and secretly pulled Wei Lai aside and said, "Wei Lai, didn't you tell Huanxi about Old Lady Xu?" ”
Wei Lai scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer Mingyue, Mingyue nodded knowingly and said, "I understand." ”
Huanxi used her own attitude to face the life and death of the Xu family, which can be regarded as officially announcing her break to the Xu family, and from now on, she is no longer the Xu family, let alone the Xu family's child daughter-in-law.
Mingyue understands her thoughts, but the Xu family has always been kind to her during her lifetime, and it is a little affectionate to do so, I hope she just can't bear to come to see her, instead of being blinded by the indiscriminate wealth of the county.
The ancestral home of the Xu family is in Chen'an County, a neighboring county, and Mrs. Xu wants to return to the ancestral tomb and the old Xu's head and coffin, so a few people only hurriedly burned the paper money, and then put the old lady in the coffin and hurried to Chen'an County.
Uncle Li was embarrassed, and bowed deeply to Mingyue and said: "Miss Yin, little old man remembers your great kindness and great virtue in his heart, as long as there is any dispatch in the future, you can say a word at any time, if you can't do it, Old Man Li will be too inhuman." ”
Mingyue shook her head in amazement and said, "I just hate that I didn't arrive quickly, only a few moments later, and Grandma Xu will be separated from us forever ...... heaven and man."
Uncle Li shook his hand and said, "How can the Xu family blame you?" My brother-in-law is just a mess, and the old lady looks at it and her heart aches, otherwise how could she be born with the will to die! ”
The two sighed for a moment, Mingyue suddenly remembered that she had to be careful of Li Fang when she went in and out of the county, if she took the Wei family's car and couldn't bring the goods, she had an idea: "Uncle Li, you don't have anything to do now, I have a business that lets you bring goods, how about giving you ten taels of silver for a trip?" ”
Uncle Li's eyes widened, and he repeated in surprise: "Ten, ten taels? Where? Chen'an County? Leyang County? ”
Mingyue shook her head and said in a low voice: "Just go to Chaoyang County, send it once a month, all of them are labeled with the logo of Zhenweifang, ten taels of silver at a time, and when I go to Chen'an County, help me find out if there are any farmers who sell red peppers, and give you an extra five cents per catty according to the market price, and how much you will collect." ”
Uncle Li's face was as pink as a flower in spring, and he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Miss Yin, this, where is this?" You are my life-saving benefactor, and you have to support Cui'er and Song'er, absolutely not......"
Mingyue replied solemnly: "Uncle Li, everyone earns money, I earn much more than you, your life is easy, Cui'er and Song'er are relieved, they are relieved, I am naturally relieved." ”
Uncle Li's face was full of flowers, and he was so happy that he didn't bother his mouth, and hurriedly agreed: "Chen'an County is not far from here, I will come back tomorrow evening, and I will arrive the day after tomorrow!" ”
The two finalized the date, the carriage had to set off, Wei Lai rode on the big black horse, and suddenly remembered Wei Zhixing's words, and said to Mingyue: "Miss Mingyue, you are waiting at home tomorrow, the master will send a car to pick you up to the county office tomorrow morning, and let you bring the clams powder. ”
Mingyue finally drooped her little face, a reluctant look, the clams powder had already become a pinch of powder on Li Fang's face, and the rest was only a jar of similar gypsum powder and alum powder, the end of the hero, I had to bow my head, Wei Zhixing, I really didn't mean to lie to you, I just ---- too poor, and people are poor, and the big reason doesn't make sense."
The carriage slowly galloped towards the entrance of the village, and the villagers who got up early looked at it in amazement, only to see that behind a rich carriage, there was a carriage carrying a large red lacquered coffin with an open top.
On the contrary, Yin Cai and Song Jiaojiao, who were in a hurry, saw a clue, and when the curtain of the carriage was floating, they saw a boy who looked like a pine, covered in linen and filial piety, crying bitterly! The two looked at each other and looked shocked!
Yin Cai remembered Liu's silent and desperate appearance last night, and his heart was in chaos, Ming Song cried so sadly, could it be that something happened to Liu!! Lying in the coffin was Liu's ??? Yin Cai wanted to raise his legs to chase the carriage, but was pulled by Song Jiaojiao, and the two of them didn't delay any longer, and decided to go back to the third room first to see what was going on.
The two rushed to the third room with a worried face, the courtyard was scattered with copper paper money, the ashes of the brazier on the ground swirled and floated, a solemn and cool air, making people feel cold from the soles of their feet, and their minds were like sinking into the swamp, sinking and sinking again and again.
Han's father and son installed the firewood door that was unloaded last night with awe-inspiring faces, cautiously, for fear of making the slightest noise to ruin everyone's already dull mood.
Mingyue was reprimanding the two big dogs who had not returned home two days ago, and the two dogs were sitting in rows and squatting, looking at Mingyue cutely, looking at Mingyue with a look of not being aggrieved.
Xiao Cui sat on the small wooden tie in the courtyard, looking at the sky with a blank face, her face was like this day, gray, as if she was going to be pressed at any time, crushing people into meat puree, but she seemed to be holding her last breath, holding back, forbearing, her face was like the snow on the ground, miserable white.
The door of the outhouse was open, thick smoke rolled out along the door, the star added to the fire, and Liu quickly stir-fried the chicken nuggets with a large spatula, with the sound of crackling oil flowers, exuding bursts of meat fragrance, but his face was also not clear.
Mingyang walked on his short legs and struggled to carry a large pot of white rice
Porridge, struggling to climb up the kang and put it on the kang table.
The basin was tilted and a large mouthful of rice porridge was spilled, Mingyang licked his tongue on the table, sucked it into his mouth, and licked the corners of his mouth with his tongue reluctantly, not without pity: "Alas, such an expensive and delicious thing, don't be blind." ”
Song Jiaojiao's heart suddenly burst into her heart, and she looked at Yin Cai with a gloomy face, Yin Cai was also afraid, and the two of them invariably had the same idea in their hearts, that is: Liu is still alive, although he is in a bad mood, he is much stronger than yesterday's appearance; Song'er sat in a big carriage, dressed in linen and filial piety, and as soon as the front foot left, Sanfang ate good things! Dozens of dollars a pound of white rice!!
Connecting the causes and consequences, the two could only think of one reason, that is, Song'er was sold to a dead family who had no son to fight the spirit flag!
No wonder the two will think crookedly, in ancient times, the "desperate household" is a family without a son to inherit the lineage, is sorry for the great unfilial piety of the eighteenth generation of the ancestors, so some rich people, even if they did not give birth to a son before their death, they will buy a temporary son to beat the spirit flag and throw the mud basin, to guide the way to the west, as for the "guide", the status is not high, equivalent to a house slave.
Back then, it had always been a hidden pain in Yin Cai's heart that he didn't stop Song'er from being sold, but now, facing Song'er's departure again, his mind suddenly exploded, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse, so he ran to Liu's side, regardless of the defense of men and women, and grabbed Liu's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "You also sold Song'er, didn't you?" You keep scolding my mother for being ruthless as a grandmother, you are not more ruthless than her, how can you let Song'er lose her mother again!! Just to exchange for these delicious foods for you! What else to eat!! These are all Song'er's flesh and blood in exchange! ”
Yin Cai was obviously really angry, and flipped the chicken that Liu had just taken out and put in the basin to the ground, and the hot soup was the hottest time, and it seeped into Liu's cotton shoes mercilessly.
