"Let's go over and see if Sesame Ball has found someone!" Old man Tai shouted loudly.

The crowd was not far away and immediately stepped forward.

But there was no figure in front of the sesame ball, Tai Jicai stepped forward to rummage carefully and took out a broken cotton shoe.

Tai Jijin took a closer look and cried.

"These are my mother's shoes! The position of the big toe was broken, and she scolded me because my daughter-in-law didn't make up for it! Woo, how could my mother lose her shoes, something must have happened! ”

Everyone also felt that things were not good, so they followed Sesame Ball to continue looking for it with a few words of comfort.

After looking for an hour, everyone came out in a hurry, no one brought anything to eat, they were thirsty and hungry, and some of them couldn't lift their legs.

Tai Sanye is old, and he can't bear it, and when he was about to open his mouth to let everyone rest, everyone had already walked out of the forest.

The sesame balls sniffed around in circles, and finally ran to a small cave on the hillside.

"Oops, I should have found it!"

Someone shouted in surprise, it doesn't matter if the person is dead or alive at this time, as long as they can find it, it's good.

And when they came to the mouth of the cave, they put out their torches and went in to illuminate them.

So, Tai Jijin's body was discovered!

The round eyes, the unwilling look, the missing thigh, and the torn and broken jacket all show that she died miserably.

Tai Jijin shouted loudly, rushed in, and cried while hugging his mother.

Everyone was already afraid, and now the howls echoing in the mountains and forests are even more permeating.

Old Man Tai took this opportunity to hold a torch and carefully inspect the inside and outside of the cave, and there were more speculations in his heart.

Tai Jijin was stupid, crying and shouting, "Mother, woo, why did you go into the mountain by yourself!" You call out to your son, and I'll come with you. Woo, why bother being gnawed like this by wild beasts! ”

Obviously, he didn't expect the possibility of the old lady being killed, he just thought that the old lady was greedy for picking up wild eggs, accidentally got lost, and was killed by wild beasts!

"Factually", he was not wrong to think so.

Then the villagers who followed up had the courage to rummage through it, and actually found two rotten and messy eggshells in the old lady's pocket!

Old Man Tai didn't want to announce the truth, and when Tai Jijin was almost crying, he called someone to cut a branch nearby, made up a mopping plow, and then Zhang Luo returned to the village.

"Let's go, there are a lot of us just now, and we may have scared the man-eating beast away. If we don't leave, if the beasts come in groups, we will also be in danger. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all apprehensive, and their subordinates were much more profitable.

On the way down the mountain, everyone took turns pulling the climbing plow, and even distracting themselves from taking care of Tai Jijin, it was not easier than going up the mountain.

When I finally returned to the village, the sky was already white.

The old and young people in the village were worried about these relatives who went up the mountain, but they didn't sleep well, and they couldn't wait to keep their eyes open at all times.

Finally, looking forward to everyone's return, everyone opened the door and poured out, gossiping and inquiring.

"How? Did you find someone? ”

"Are you tired, thirsty?"

"Have you ever encountered a pack of wolves, sit down and rest."

Tai Jijin's corpse was tightly covered by the weeds cut by everyone, mainly because everyone was afraid when they saw it.

At this moment, someone pushed aside the weeds, revealing the old lady's dead appearance.

The old and young people in the village were frightened and retreated, almost not falling a fart.

"What's going on? How did people die? ”

"yes, it was fine yesterday!"

"This, this is really miserable!"

Tai Sanye was tired and out of breath, and it took a long time to tell Tai Jijin, "Don't be stupid, everyone is dead, it's useless to cry." Hurry up and prepare for the future, no matter what, you have to go into the ground for peace. It's just that your mother died and can't enter the ancestral grave, so you can find a good place to bury it. ”

When Tai Jijin heard this, he cried even more.

On weekdays, everyone may dislike him, but at this moment, the meanest person is also silent.

After all, no matter how bad it is, it's also a mother.

Whoever dies their mother will be sad, not to mention that they can't enter the ancestral grave and can't be buried with their dead father......

Sun Meihua also cried and cried beside Tai Jijin, but smart people could see that she really didn't have any sincerity.

On weekdays, I was bullied and scolded by my mother-in-law, but now that the mountain above the town is gone, anyone will be happy. She can still squeeze out a few tears, which is already very good.

Outside the crowd, Chunhong stood behind Yang Lihua and glanced at it, with a complicated look in her eyes.

The dead are greater.

Yang Lihua was afraid that she would say something cruel and be talked about behind everyone's back, so she whispered to people.

"Chunhong, go back and guard Zhuzhu, be careful that she wakes up and can't find anyone to be afraid."

"Okay, uncle, I'll go." Chunhong immediately turned around and left, not at all......

When the sun was three poles, the spiritual shed of Tai Jijin's house was erected, and the cheapest white linen cloth was bought a few feet, and a simple tie was regarded as Dai Xiao's time.

As for the coffin, the cheapest one costs 700 yuan, Tai Jijin can't afford it, and he is reluctant to buy it.

In the end, only a roll of new grass swept the old lady, even if it was her safe place.

The villagers couldn't help but sigh when they saw it, but there was no joke.

If it weren't for following Tai Jiye into the city to do two jobs, and following Tai Jiajian to build a yard and eat for half a month, I don't know how many people in the village would have gone to see Lord Yan, and if they couldn't run, it would be Tai Jijin's wife.

The crow stands on the back of a pig, and no one laughs at who is black.

It stands to reason that Tai Jijin's family should arrange two tables of banquets.

Everyone went into the mountains to look for it, and helped carry the corpse back, and set up a spiritual shed to send it, all of which contributed a lot.

But Tai Jijin didn't know if he was too distressed for his mother, he didn't think about it, or if he was really sad at home, in short, everyone didn't even drink a bowl of hot water.

Even if no one picks on it, it is not comfortable in the end.

So, on the day of the burial, no one came forward except for the neighbors......

In the courtyard of the Tai family, Yang Lihua took a handful of mugwort and "beaten" Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong to get rid of bad luck.

She couldn't help but complain, "You too, go to see what's going on." There are many elderly people and children in the family, and it will be a bad thing to be careful to bring back bad luck. ”

Liu Dongniang also took the brazier, and the two of them must step over, which made the brothers cry and laugh.

After finishing all this, Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong got the opportunity to sit under the eaves of the porch with their father and talk.

As a result, without waiting for her to speak, Zhuzhu ran over with the sesame balls.

The sesame balls wagged their tails and barked so hard that they looked like they were begging for a reward.

Zhuzhu hugged her grandfather's thigh, and said with a milky voice, "Grandpa, isn't the sesame ball so powerful!" Can it eat meat buns? ”

"Yes, of course!" The old man has always been responsive to his little granddaughter's needs, not to mention that this time the sesame balls have really made a great contribution.

He thought about it and called Liu Dongniang, "Second daughter-in-law, is there still meat at home?" Let's eat steamed buns in these two days! Remember to wrap a few non-salty sesame balls and be careful about getting them! ”

Liu Dongniang responded from afar between the stoves, "Got it, Dad." Make noodles tonight, and steam buns tomorrow. ”

Zhuzhu was overjoyed, and the sesame ball also flew its tail away.

Soon, a fat baby and a dog ran to play.

The old man got down to business and asked his eldest son, "That night, after we left, did the person you keep an eye on moved?" ”
