Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sending the Spirit
Chuan Yun returned to Bai Saburo's house with two cold steamed buns, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he saw something like a gust of wind quickly rushing towards him.
The cold hair stood up, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly shrank into her shell.
Sure enough, the next moment she heard a licking sound, close to her ears, and suddenly her turtle shell was like a water curtain hole, and sticky saliva continued to flow down from her eyes.
Chuanyun: ......!!
Rhubarb happily licked Doudou's shell, and didn't forget to rub his head against it, he knew that Doudou would definitely come back.
Chuanyun, who was rubbed on the ground for a while: ......
Since she met Rhubarb, she has done all the outrageous things she has never experienced in her life.
☞☞☞
In the evening, the horizon seemed to be splashed with thick ink, slowly dipping into the surroundings and gradually dimming.
Bai Saburo's pupils, who were still lying on the bed without any energy, suddenly contracted sharply, and he sat up without warning, and staggered out of the door without putting on his shoes.
Because of the high temperature, the vines that originally grew in the courtyard of the precious medicinal herbs basically died.
Rhubarb, who was in the courtyard with Chuanyun and shaving wild ginseng, heard the movement, turned his head and saw that it was the figure of his master, and shouted "Wangwang" at his back, and followed with his feet.
Chuanyun who ate a mouthful of soil: ......!!
She turned her head and just saw the backs of Bai Saburo and Rhubarb.
Suddenly there was a burst of depression.
This person is a dog, and no one is worry-free.
There was no way, she threw the wild ginseng into the small space, and she had to follow.
The sky was completely dark, and Chuan Yun could see at night, so it didn't affect her, but her speed was not as fast as theirs, and she quickly lost it.
But she knew where Bai Saburo had gone, and he must have remembered to go and collect the bodies of his relatives.
The corpse capital has been open for two days and two nights, is it a little late to go now?
As soon as he arrived near the main courtyard, Chuan Yun heard the sound of people talking constantly, and even saw bursts of fire in the direction where the gate was located.
She quietly crawled to the gate of the Bai family, carefully stretched out her head to look, and found a bustling crowd, and there were many officials with knives and dressed all the clothes on the periphery.
The officials were unilaterally cursed by the crowd on the other side, and scolded them viciously, while the officials pressed the handle of the knife with one hand one by one, looking like they were bearing the burden of humiliation.
The atmosphere was a little scorching.
Looking at the appearance, the two sides seemed to be confronting each other, and the time seemed to have been going on for a while.
But it doesn't look like an official arresting a criminal.
Chuan Yun got closer, only to find that there were several simple sheds on the side of the gate, and there were black coffins in them.
She counted, exactly thirty, exactly the number of dead people in the Bai family.
There is also a simple mourning hall in front of the coffin, and people keep coming to burn paper to worship, and there are words in their mouths, and the sound is blown away by the night wind, and Chuanyun faintly hears the words "go all the way".
Are these the people who came to collect the corpses of the Bai family?
For a while, Chuan Yun was very shocked, she didn't expect the Bai family and his wife to be so popular with the people, and there were more people who came to mourn than she imagined.
Now that the bodies of the Bai family and his wife have been collected, Bai Saburo ......
Chuan Yun turned his head to the side, just catching a glimpse of Bai Saburo's figure, who was quietly lying on the ruins of the broken gate wall, using the shadow to hide himself.
His eyes were fixed on the coffins, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.
Chuan Yun couldn't see through what he was thinking.
And Rhubarb, who had already run to several coffins with his feet, stopped his nose and sniffed at each coffin he passed by, and finally screamed at the two inconspicuous coffins, with tears in his eyes.
The meaning is self-evident, that is the coffin of the Bai family couple.
Rhubarb's appearance at the beginning did not attract too many people's attention, and everyone was busy discussing how to avoid the official errand and let the Bai Shenyi family rest in peace.
It wasn't until a dog barked that someone reacted, and for fear of disturbing the peace of the deceased, hurriedly drove the dog away with a wooden stick.
There are also nearby villagers who recognized that it was a dog raised by Bai Jia Saburo, but because Bai Saburo was evil, especially when he saw the tears in the dog's eyes, he felt even more evil.
So no one dared to be the first bird, for fear of bringing trouble to themselves.
Even though they knew that it was very likely that the dog was just human, they didn't open their mouths just in case. I didn't do the expulsion, I honestly squatted there, motionless.
The rhubarb was beaten a few times by people who didn't know the truth, screaming and running away with their tails between their legs, most of them were ordinary croppers, and they weren't such ruthless people, and when they saw it slip, they didn't continue to chase.
It is said that dogs can see things that people can't see, and when dogs bark at the coffin, they are also worried about it, and their scalps are numb.
The people of the Bai family not only died unjustly, but also extremely miserable, and they also knew it in their hearts.
The reason why he is still here is just based on his trust in the character of Master Bai, and even after death, he will not spill his anger on them.
Bai Saburo didn't run over to worship his parents and brother regardless of it, because he knew in his heart that he was an ominous existence in the hearts of those people, and if it weren't for the Bai family, they might have set fire to him.
But he didn't hate them, and he didn't hold grudges.
Something happened to the Bai family, and they didn't forget to come over to collect the corpses and worship for the Bai family, and he didn't want to cause them trouble.
Since the people thought he was dead, let him be dead.
It's just that this revenge of destroying the door, he can't forget it in his life.
In front of the Bai family's house, the lights were bright, and people kept making carriages to come to mourn, and people kept leaving until ten o'clock at dawn.
In this way, Bai Saburo lay quietly beside the ruins and accompanied his family all night.
Rhubarb curled up at his feet, very quiet, and at this moment, it seemed to understand something, and looked at the night sky very sadly with its eyelids drooping.
It misses Doudou so much, but at this time it has to accompany the owner, and the owner is very sad.
Between life and death, animals are the most sensitive.
In the early morning of the second day, the friction between the official and the people was about to break out, because of the loss and because of the favor of the Bai family, the official did not fight back, but just retreated vigorously.
But the anger of the public was hard to dissipate, and there were still officials with colors on their faces, until the first official threw away his official hat, threw away the scimitar, and shouted angrily: "Lao Tzu is no longer done, this lack of virtue and cutting off children and grandchildren, whoever likes to do it." ”
This sentence is like hitting the hearts of all the officials, they have not had a good rest for three days, the boss keeps counting the ineffective officials, and the relatives and villagers complain that their conscience is extinguished, and their patience is on the edge.
As a result, officials kept throwing away their hats, throwing machetes, and even threatening to carry the coffin.
In this way, the friction between the government and the people, which was originally on the verge of breaking out, was suddenly eliminated.
Everyone was busy together, but it took half an hour to arrange the sending of the spirit, and the huge sending team set off, at this time, there was no rule of not sending the spirit at dawn, and they were not afraid of colliding with the living, plus it was a cloudy day, and the matter of sending the spirit was very smooth.
Bai Saburo got acquainted with it on the mountain, and followed the team that sent the spirit on the mountain road, while Rhubarb kept following Bai Saburo.
And Chuan Yun couldn't understand why he had to follow one man and one dog, and he didn't sleep well in the early morning but came to climb the mountain.
