Sun Zheng glanced at Ji Ye and the others with a little shame, and said to Huo Yan: "Sister Yan'er, how can you think like this, the death of the dart game this time is due to bad luck, how can you blame others?" ”

He paused and said, "I am also very sad that Master is gone, but now I still have to decide what to do in the future." In my opinion, now we can only go back the same way, and the master has never mentioned where to contact anyone for these darts and herbs in the carriage, and if we can't find the next home after arriving in Beijing, won't we have to wait there? It is better to take advantage of the deep winter now, the corpse decomposes very slowly, so that the soul of the master and the other sacrificed dart masters of the dart game can return to their homeland. As for the rest, let's take a long-term view. ”

Sun Zheng also has his own abacus in his heart, his master died in an accident on the way, and at this time he returned to the Yunzhou Dart Bureau to marry Huo Yan, he is naturally the new dart head, even if he does this dart again, it will also be his Sun Zheng's name.

He had this idea, because this Fuwei Dart Bureau still belonged to the Iron Gun Zhao family, Huo Qing took the art investment teacher, worshiped under the old dart head Zhao Ling, and married his daughter, that is, Huo Yan's mother. After the death of his father-in-law, he took over the dart game until today.

Huo Yan slowly stood up, looked around at the crowd, walked to the dart flag that was already stained with blood, trembled and stood it up, sucked twice, adjusted his nose and gasped, and said, "Although my father was attacked by gangsters today, everyone doesn't have to be discouraged. As long as the dart flag is still there, the dart game is still there, this dart is still going to go on, the rivers and lakes darts, is based on integrity, if even the integrity is gone, the dart board is shameless in the world. ”

She had been crying for a long time, her breath was already unstable, and she was a little out of breath after saying so many words. looked down at the corpse of her father Huo Qing again, and then said: "When we get to Beijing, whether we can find an employer or not, everyone's share will be correct." As for the corpses of my father and other uncles, I took them to the north of Zhending City for burial, and everyone had a rest before setting off. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the dart game nodded in unison, if as long as the dart goods are delivered, it will not be less, then it is the best.

A dart master in the crowd stood up and said, "This is very good, although the old dart head is dead, the old man is willing to continue to follow Miss." "This person's name is Zhao Qi, he is the oldest and oldest of the dart team, and he is also a distant relative of Huo Yan, belonging to her grandfather's generation, and he lost a right arm in the first battle.

Huo Yan nodded at him, looked around and asked loudly, "What about the rest?" ”

The remnants of the dart game around them said in unison: "I am willing to continue to follow Miss." ”

Huo Yan glanced at Sun Zheng and Ji Ye deeply, bent down and hooked the armpit of Huo Qing's corpse from below with both hands, and slowly dragged it in the direction of the dart cart.

Her thin body reflected the winter afternoon sun and was very lonely, but she didn't call anyone to help, and even Sun Zheng didn't come forward when she watched from the sidelines.

As a result, the group of people packed up the mess in full swing, and the remaining elders leaned under the tree and said, "This road of bandits is really evil, and they dare to do it on this plain road." ”

The dart team south of Qinhuai is all mountain roads, and the relationship between the four parties has long been opened, and they have entered the northern territory, although the relationship is not as thorough as that in the south, but they are all on spacious official roads, and there is no bandit on weekdays.

Another person also said: "Yes, when you enter the city, you will definitely go to the official office in the city to talk about it, and if you do this, you are really not going to let this trade route live?" It's just that I really don't know where this pair of people came from, and I've heard of such a group of mountain bandits near this Taihang Mountain over the years. ”

Not long after, the dart team started again, and Li Ruolin took the initiative to vacate the carriage she was in on weekdays to place the corpses of Huo Qing and other dart masters, but Huo Yan drove it alone, and did not go with Sun Zheng again.

Li Ruolin and Ji Ye rode behind the dart team, Li Ruolin was silent under a dark cloud along the way, Ji Ye saw that she was still thinking about the guilt, and stepped forward to comfort her, called her a few times but did not answer, so she had to give up.

——————————

The two small cities in the north and south are very close to each other, and in the evening, the dart team saw the city gate from a distance, and saw the words 'Zhending City' written on it.

After entering the city, Huo Yan first found an inn to settle the rest of the people, these were all done by his father Huo Qing before, and now the girder of the dart game has fallen on her alone. Later, he drove a carriage with the corpse on the street to look for the coffin shop nearby, and several masters and Sun Zheng in the dart game followed behind.

I didn't want to go to the coffin shop, the boss said that there have been frequent murders in recent days, especially on the official road, there have been four or five robberies in this month, and the coffins have been sold as many as a dozen pairs, and several people thought so. The boss also said that there were only five coffins left in the shop at the moment, and one of them would cost twice as much silver as usual.

There were nine corpses in the car outside the shop, Huo Yan discussed with several uncles, Huo Qing used one alone, and the other two shared a coffin, and placed a sufficient number of steles. These five coffins cost a small half of the money left in the dart game, and the rest of the expenses had to be maintained, which was also forced to help.

Huo Yan went back and forth several times to transport these things to the mass graves outside the city, several masters and Sun Zheng dug the pit respectively, and she held a simple knife in both hands to engrave words on the stele, which is also the tradition of the dart bureau since its inception, the deceased by close friends and relatives to write the stele with a personal blade.

She is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, and she has not even practiced her kung fu at home, and she is a little tired on weekdays with only a Pu knife in her hand. The blade of the knife in his hand was scratched back and forth on the stone slab more than ten times before leaving a shallow trace.

She carved with tears in her eyes, tears dripping into the depression, and the blade of the knife splashed a few tiny drops of water on it.

After a short time, Sun Zheng and the rest of the people dug the grave, and Huo Yan carved out the words 'Fuwei Dart Bureau 25th Generation President', and the dart on the dart head was only written with half a step of gold letters. The others also took out their swords and carved them.

When all the matters are complete, only Huo Ling's father's tombstone carved by Huo Ling is missing, and the small characters in the lower right corner are written 'filial piety Huo', only one word 'Ling' is missing, and she has run out of oil, and her slender wrist can no longer hold the heavy Pu knife, so she only holds the handle of the knife with both hands and is half-kneeling on the ground.

Sun Zheng was extremely distressed when he saw it, stepped forward and took the blade of the knife from her hand, his eyes were hazy and he said softly: "Yan'er, it's already okay, Master, he will see it in the sky, and I will write the last word." ”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Lingtong had red eyes and didn't know where to get the strength, took the knife back from his hand, looked up at Sun Zhengyin and roared hoarsely: "This is the case of the old dart game, if even the inscription of my father is made by others, how will I survive in this river and lake in the future?" ”

Huo Yan was excited, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, dripping on the stone slab under him. Her silver teeth clenched and raised the blade of the knife to the stone slab, and the root of the tooth was faintly oozing blood, and the others saw it in their eyes, and they all felt sad in their hearts.

Unconsciously, it was dusk, several people buried the coffins, and set up monuments in front of their respective graves, but the position of these five coffins was placed at this time with nine monuments, which were very crowded next to each other, which was both sad and quite sad.
