Chapter 184: Buying a coffin and digging a grave

The snow and ice melted, and after six months of ice and snow, everything has now recovered, and the droplets of water dripping from the eaves, as well as the east wind that is no longer biting, all symbolizes the beginning of a new year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On this day, in a small village in the northernmost part of the country, the sound of an avalanche came from the mountains not far away, and the village was a busy scene, and people came out of their houses one after another, breathing the first breath of spring air.

Like hibernating animals, the villagers store their food before the snow closes the mountain, and when the snow covers the mountain, they all stay in their houses.

However, there is one exception, when the snow is at its highest, the owner of this family will take the trouble to clean the snow at the door every morning, so that the door of the hut can be opened.

After the snow is cleared, an old man will come to the hut and stay for half a day before leaving.

The snow on the streets of the village was a foot deep at its deepest, and no one knew how the old man had come to be.

Now that the snow had begun to melt, the hut, like the others, had opened its doors and a strong man stepped out of it.

"Hahaha, Hong Jiuhu, why have you lost a lot in the past two months, did you let your mother-in-law grind?"

Liu Jackal had been waiting in front of Hong Jiuhu's house early, and when he saw him come out, he immediately greeted him with a big laugh.

"A dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, but you kid has moistened a lot these days. ”

Hong Jiuhu's eyes widened, and behind him, a woman's face turned red suddenly, and she turned around and entered the house.

Liu Jackal laughed and said, "It's a loss to have that red deer, these days, I can sleep except for eating." It's not like you, you still have a wife to warm the bed at night. ”

In the end, he still saw Hong Jiuhu "glaring" at him. Liu Jackal's face also slowly stiffened, and he walked towards Hong Jiuhu step by step.

The two of them looked at each other, and a trace of anger could be seen in their eyes, as if they were about to fight.

However, when the woman in the house saw this scene, she gave them a blank look and continued to carry the firewood in the house outside.

"Hahahaha! Brother, are you still alive?!"

"Nonsense! You're all alive, can I die!"

The two suddenly burst into laughter, and the bear hugged each other.

"You two don't giggle around there!

Hong Jiuhu's daughter-in-law yelled at the two from behind.

Liu Jackal smiled, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your face is a lot ruddy!" After saying that, she immediately ran to the house and began to help carry firewood.

After Liu Jackal entered the house, his eyes always glanced into a room, and a figure was faintly visible, lying there calmly.

After a long winter, there was not much firewood left in the house, and it was quickly moved by Liu Jackal.

Subsequently, Hong Jiuhu's daughter-in-law made a few side dishes, Liu Jackal ate them with Hong Jiuhu, and the two drank a few glasses of soju.

Even at the wine table, Liu Jackal's eyes were not looking at the next door, and he was absent-minded when he spoke.

Hong Jiuhu naturally saw Liu Jackal's small movements in his eyes, and couldn't help coughing his face dryly.

Liu Jackal, who was probing his brain, was startled by Hong Jiuhu, retracted his gaze in disdain, and said with a dry smile, "Brother Jiu, how is that little brother? I've been here for so long, why is he still lying in the back room......"

Hong Jiuhu threw the wine bowl on the table and said in a deep voice, "Brother, our brothers don't have much ability, but now our life is comfortable, we have food and drink, we can't ignore our conscience." ”

"I said Brother Jiu, you look at you, you can talk about it, I'm not worried about that little brother? ”

Seeing that Hong Jiuhu was angry, Liu Jackal immediately explained, but there was a burst of joy in his heart.

Then, he looked at the back room again and whispered, "Brother Jiu, I really didn't come here today for this little brother's money. But how long has it been, and this little brother still hasn't woken up, so it's estimated that he is more than lucky. Besides, my younger brother is so old, and I still don't have a mother-in-law, don't those women look at my brother's poverty? I'm not like Brother Jiu, who can meet a good wife and mother like my sister-in-law......

In the end, Liu Jackal's eyes were red, and he even made a few small bowls of wine.

When Hong Jiuhu saw Liu Jackal like this, he couldn't bear it in his heart, he just lowered his head and just drank and didn't speak.

After thinking for a while, Hong Jiuhu finally turned his heart sideways, got up and went to a corner of the room, and took out a purse in a jar.

"You can take the fifteen taels, and the remaining five taels, I will go to the town tomorrow to grab a few pairs of medicine for this little brother, and if it doesn't work, buy him a coffin." This little brother's injury, even the medicine elder can't do anything. ”

Hong Jiuhu poured the silver from his purse on the table and gave it to Liu Jackal.

When Liu Jackal saw the silver, the sad look just now was swept away, and he quickly grabbed the silver on the table into his arms, raised the wine bowl and said with a smile, "Brother Xie Jiu is still thinking about his brother." ”

The two of them began to drink again, the fire in the hut was in full bloom, illuminating the inner room red, and Gu Qiuyu's miserable white body was also flushed by the flames......

Another month passed, and the spring breeze was blowing, the snow in the small mountain village had almost melted, and the roads had become muddy.

Hong Jiuhu's tall figure was walking slowly in the distance, as if he was carrying a huge thing on his shoulder, and when he walked in, the thing on his shoulder was actually a coffin!

Hong Jiuhu's footwork was very slow, panting and walking towards the village step by step, as soon as he entered the village, several men ran over to help and set up the big coffin.

"Okay, Brother Jiu, you're thinking very far, you've even thought about where to live in the future, look at this big coffin, it's so fucking big!"

"Brother Jiu, you are in the prime of life, come back with this thing now, and you are not afraid of your sister-in-law and you. ”

Those people are also very arrogant, and they are not afraid to joke with Hong Jiuhu.

Hong Jiuhu didn't care either, and said with a smile, "Don't fucking nonsense, I'm almost tired all the way." ”

"It's still Brother Jiu, such a big coffin, one person from the town to resist here, and the younger brothers can only look at it, haha......"

Several people were talking and laughing and carrying the coffin, and slowly walked towards Hong Jiuhu's house, but no one asked what the coffin was for.

As he walked, Hong Jiuhu suddenly said, "Ergou, have you come back after I have been gone for a few days?"

The young man named Ergou snorted tiredly, "Liu Jackal, I didn't see it." ”

Hong Jiuhu frowned, and began to be vaguely worried in his heart.

That Liu Jackal has disappeared since the last time he got silver at his house, and he hasn't seen anyone for almost a month, Hong Jiuhu went to the town this time to buy a coffin for Gu Qiuyu, and the other is to look for Liu Jackal, but after looking for two days, he didn't even see Liu Jackal's shadow, so he had to come back first, planning to go to the city to look for it in a few days.

After arriving home, Hong Jiuhu put the coffin in the courtyard, and then took a straw mat to cover it.

"Are you back?did you find Liu Jackal?" asked Zhang Ying, Hong Jiuhu's daughter-in-law.

Hong Jiuhu shook his head, "I don't know where this kid ran to, hey, I may have killed him!" After speaking, he walked straight into the house and came to Gu Qiuyu's house.

Gu Qiuyu on the bed was covered in **, and there was no life on his snow-white body, as if he was dead, and even his breathing stopped.

If Yao Lao hadn't said it, Hong Jiuhu would have found a place to bury Gu Qiuyu a long time ago, but as for how to heal it, Yao Lao didn't say much, and only told Hong Jiuhu one sentence, "This is God's will, when the ice and snow disappear and the spring flowers bloom, if he still doesn't wake up, then bury him." ”

Now that it is time for Yao Lao to speak, Hong Jiuhu is also ready.

He took the black box beside Gu Qiuyu aside, and the sword box was placed next to Gu Qiuyu after Yao Lao came, and he didn't say why.

Then he began to put on clothes for Gu Qiuyu, which were all brought by Gu Qiuyu, which were originally damaged, and then slowly repaired by Zhang Ying.

"Little brother, it's not that my brother doesn't save you, it's really that my brother doesn't have that ability, I hope you find a good family to reincarnate, don't go through the hardships of this life. ”

Hong Jiuhu was dressing Gu Qiuyu and muttering, his face was also very sad, he didn't know what happened to Gu Qiuyu, but it was miserable enough to suffer a catastrophe at such a young age.

But he didn't know that what Gu Qiuyu had endured was far worse than he imagined.

After dressing, Gu Qiuyu returned to the original appearance of the young master, during this time, Hong Jiuhu would help Gu Qiuyu wipe his body for a while, and also shaved off his beard, white skin, delicate face, just like a woman.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Jiuhu carried Gu Qiuyu to the courtyard, opened the coffin, and put him in, along with Gu Qiuyu's sword box.

After doing this, it was already noon, Hong Jiuhu ate a little indiscriminately, picked up the shovel and walked towards the back mountain.

On the way, Hong Jiuhu was still thinking about Gu Qiuyu's identity, and he also asked Yao Lao, but Yao Lao didn't want him to know too much, and didn't tell him anything.

But Hong Jiuhu was still very interested in Gu Qiuyu's identity, just because Yao Lao was shocked and even a little frightened when he saw Gu Qiuyu.

Hong Jiuhu found a place halfway up the mountain, where the scenery is quiet in summer, and there is a stream flowing down the top of the mountain on the side.

"This is it!"

Hong Jiuhu picked up the shovel and began to dig a pit on the side, and after two hours, a large pit ten feet long and seven feet deep was dug out.

Hong Jiuhu let out a sigh of relief, although he was powerful, but at this time the land had not been completely civilized, and it was very difficult to dig such a big pit, so he sat next to a big stone next to him, took out a leather wine jug from his arms, and drank wine.

"Big brother, I wonder if I can reward my little brother with a sip of wine?"

Suddenly, a young voice sounded behind Hong Jiuhu, so frightened that Hong Jiuhu almost threw the wine jug in his hand, turned around and saw a young man standing less than a foot behind him, looking at the wine jug in his hand.

Hong Jiuhu thought that he was a hunter, even if some stealthy beasts would be discovered by him as soon as they approached him, but he didn't react to this man.

The man was tall but not particularly athletic, with a young face covered with beard, but he looked very handsome, with black hair that was neither long nor short, and a handful of long hair on the back of his head, scattered casually behind him.

He was wearing a normal cloth coat, and he carried something like a wooden stick on his back, wrapped in a white cloth.

Hong Jiuhu first made sure that this person was not from Shi Guo, and couldn't help but look at the shovel not far away.

Seeing Hong Jiuhu's nervous expression, the man couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother, you don't have to be nervous, if I had any bad intentions, you would have been in a different place long ago." ”

"Who are you!"
