The rain stopped.

Thundershowers always pass quickly.

The clouds cleared and the sun returned.

Exactly: the rain has passed and the sky is clear.

The town is filled with the scent of the earth after the rain, and the greenery of the newly planted plants after the rain is full of life.

Shen Qi hesitated for a long time, but still told Wang Ergou the truth.

The moment they got Qiu Ling's handwritten letter, Wang Ergou and Wang Erya didn't cry, and they didn't even look pained.

Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, Shen Qi could only comfort him. Wang Ergou just tightly held Qiu Ling's stiff hand and rubbed it lightly on his face.

Everyone knows that when the rain stops, it's time to let Qiuling go into the ground.

After some discussion, everyone decided to bury Qiu Ling on the mountain in front of the house with the best scenery.

So Jiu'er volunteered to customize a coffin for Qiuling, but was persuaded by Wang Ergou.

"No, the coffin is too small...... Qiuling must have slept uncomfortably......"

Seeing Wang Ergou say this, everyone stopped insisting.

Xing'er returned to Yanyunfang and found a few clothes that Qiu Ling often wore. Turtle Gong followed behind Xing'er and brought a shovel and hoe.

Xia He handed over the second girl to Momoko to take care of, and he hired a carriage from Zhennan.

The group carefully carried Qiuling's body to the carriage, and then drove the carriage towards the hill in front of the house southwest of the town.

Along the way, everyone was silent.

Wang Ergou and Wang Erya took one of Qiu Ling's hands and slowly sorted out Qiu Ling's clothes, as if the other party was just asleep.

The carriage soon reached the bottom of the hill in front of the house.

Wang Ergou carried Qiuling on his back and walked towards the mountain step by step, while everyone followed silently.

Soon, the crowd arrived on a hill where the birds were singing and the flowers were scented.

It doesn't seem to be raining much, and the turf on the ground isn't yet soaking wet.

Wang Ergou carried Qiuling on his back, stood under a peach tree, and said softly: "Ling'er, what do you think of the scenery here? I remember you said that your favorite thing is the peach blossoms that bloom in early March." Brother Dog used to ...... I didn't even bring you here......"

As he spoke, Wang Ergou's voice gradually choked up.

Er Ya was lying on Shen Qi's back, and her little nose couldn't help twitching.

After a while, Wang Ergou gently put down Qiu Ling's corpse, took the hoe from Xia He, and began to dig the pit.

"Brother Shen Qi, you let me go. Er Ya said softly.

So Shen Qi put Erya next to Qiu Ling, and then walked to Peach. took the shovel from the other party's hand, walked to Wang Ergou's side and began to shovel the soil.

The two were silent digging a grave for Qiuling.

For a moment, only the sound of hoeing and shoveling was left.

Half an hour later, the two had already dug a deep pit that was not too big or small, and Shen Qi patted Wang Ergou on the shoulder, signaling that it was okay.

Shen Qidang jumped out of the pit first, and then wanted to turn around and pull Wang Ergou up, but Wang Ergou waved his hand and said, "Trouble Lord Shen to put Qiu Ling down, I'll continue below." ”

Shen Qi nodded, and walked in front of Qiu Ling and Erya.

"Erya, the time has come, we ...... Let Sister Qiuling settle down. Shen Qi said softly.

Erya nodded, and reluctantly let go of Qiu Ling's hand.

Shen Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief, slowly lifted Qiu Ling's corpse, and then took two steps back to the side of the deep pit that had been dug, bent down and carefully put Qiu Ling's corpse down.

Wang Ergou quickly stretched out his hands to take it, and then gently lay Qiu Ling's corpse down, and gently smoothed her hair.

The previous rain drenched Qiu Ling's corpse, and her hair was stuck to her face one by one. Wang Ergou carefully spread Qiu Ling's hair and smoothed it.

After smoothing Qiu Ling's hair, Wang Ergou began to arrange her clothes, and his movements were extremely careful, as if he was worried about disturbing the sleeping people.

Looking at Wang Ergou's meticulous movements, Shen Qi finally couldn't bear to look at it anymore and didn't look over.

After a while, Wang Ergou's voice came.

"Lord Shen, please pull me up. ”

Shen Qi turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Wang Ergou up.

Handing over the shovel, Shen Qi hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Brother Wang, let's do it! Don't miss the auspicious time." ”

Wang Ergou took the shovel tremblingly, looked at Qiu Ling lying in the deep pit, shoveled a shovel with tears in his eyes, and then threw it towards the grave.

"Sister Qiuling!" Erya lay on the ground and cried out.

Xia He and the others also came to the grave, wanting to take one last look at Qiu Ling.

"Wow-"

Another shovel of earth was thrown down.

"Brother, don't, brother—" Erya cried and wanted Wang Ergou to move more slowly.

Peach and Apricot held Erya in their arms in tears, and Jiu'er turned her face away and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Wang Ergou had a cold face, gritted his teeth, and kept shoveling the soil.

"Wow-whoa-"

Finally, Qiu Ling's face could no longer be seen.

"Sister Qiuling......" Erya seemed to be desperate, and her voice became hoarse and low.

Wang Ergou's body stiffened visibly, and then he took a sharp breath and raised the shovel again......

Time passed quickly, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Under the peach blossom tree, a new grave was erected.

In front of the tomb, a small bluestone stood there, and there were two lines of crooked blood characters on it-

The tomb of his beloved wife Qiuling, Wang Ergou wept.

The index finger of Wang Ergou's right hand was bleeding, but he himself didn't see it.

"Ling'er, you have a good rest! The world is too bitter, and it's time to stop and rest. Wang Ergou muttered softly.

"Sister Qiuling...... No, sister-in-law!" Erya's tears rolled in her eyes, "Don't worry, Erya will take care of herself and her brother......!

"Qiuling, I'm Xia He. Thank you for your care and companionship for so many years. Xia He said softly: "Congratulations on finally finding Ruyi Langjun." You have to live well in that world! In the next life, we will be sisters again!"

"Sister Qiuling......" Momoko choked up and said, "I have been taken care of by you for so many years, and I haven't had time to repay you...... You're gone...... Peaches, peaches will miss you...... Sister Qiuling......"

"Sister Qiuling......" Xing'er sobbed in a low voice: "You can go with confidence, Peaches and I will burn paper money for you, and you must eat and drink well in that world...... Don't always grieve yourself for the sake of others......"

Finally, Shen Qi and Jiu'er walked to the tomb, bent down deeply and bowed.

"Sister Qiuling...... Although we have never met, I was touched by the love between you and Brother Wang. I'm not a good talker, but please don't worry. We will follow your last wish and take Brother Wang and Erya away...... Take them out of here......" Shen Qi said in a low voice.

"Sister Qiuling, I'm Jiu'er. Jiu'er said softly: "I know you can't rest assured that Wang Ergou and Erya can't be relieved, don't worry! I have already thought of a place for them." In the future, Wang Ergou will be able to be an upright person, and Erya will also find a good partner who really loves her and protects her!"

The breeze blows, the grass is slightly slanted, and the peach blossoms are flying.

There seemed to be a chuckle in the air, like comfort, like gratitude.

"Ling'er ......"

"Sister Qiuling......"

Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and look around.

By the time I came down from the hill in front of the house, the sun had already set in the west.

On the way down the mountain, Shen Qi's stomach was growling.

"You ate so much in the morning, why can't you stand it all day?" Jiu'er couldn't help frowning: "Are you really a rice bucket?"

Shen Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I don't want to either...... But I'm still growing my body! How can I ...... if I don't eat enough?"

"Tsk, you're still growing up, where did you learn these words?" Jiu'er couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Shen Qi muttered a few words softly, and then lowered his head.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you. Jiu'er said: "Where is the package you always carry on your back......? You won't lose important medicinal materials, will you?"

Shen Qi hurriedly shook his head and said, "How is that possible? Li Qiuci's predecessors knew that I was going to boil 'Yi Tendon Forging Bone Soup', and took the initiative to help me, so I left all the medicinal materials. ”

"Stayed in Lingshan Temple?" Jiu'er couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said, "Your heart is really big! Are you very familiar with Senior Li? People actually took the initiative to help you boil medicine? And you actually put such a ...... So all the important medicinal materials are left in the mountains......? What about your wooden box that can hold the herbs?"

"The linden kun wooden box is also left with Senior Li. Shen Qidao.

"You!" Jiu'er couldn't help but choke, and then said angrily: "Do you know how precious that wooden box is? It is a strange thing that can preserve the medicinal effect! Maybe it is a treasure handed down from the ancient immortal era! You actually ...... You don't even put it away closely?"

"Crowd...... The era of immortals?" Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned.

Several other people also looked at Jiu'er with some curiosity.

Jiu'er was stunned, knowing that she had missed her mouth, so she glanced at Shen Qi fiercely and stopped speaking.

"Gollum—"

Shen Qi's stomach rang at the right time, and Jiu'er took advantage of the situation and said, "Look at your rice bucket, you know how to eat and eat every day!

Shen Qi smiled and looked at everyone.

After some discussion, they agreed.

At this time, a young man came running from afar.

When I was far away, I saw the man waving his hand and shouting something.

Wang Ergou looked up, was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Xiaozheng, what is he doing here?"

"Brother, do you know him?" Erya who was lying on Wang Ergou's back couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's my little brother. Wang Ergou said with some embarrassment.

The man known as Xiaozheng soon arrived in front of Wang Ergou.

"Xiaozheng, why are you here?" Wang Ergou couldn't help asking.

"Gou ...... Brother Gou...... Yes...... Someone...... Look for...... Looking for you!" Xiao Zheng said breathlessly.

"Looking for me?" Wang Ergou was stunned and said, "Who?"

Xiao Zheng waved his hand, swallowed his saliva suddenly, and gasped: "Yes...... It was a man dressed in white...... Brother Childe!"

"Brother Gongzi?" Wang Ergou became more and more confused, "Which brother-in-law?"

Xiao Zheng reached into his arms, took out a round jade plate the size of a teacup and handed it over.

Wang Ergou couldn't help but be shocked and said, "It turned out to be him!"

Wang Ergou picked up the jade plaque, his expression a little dignified.

In the middle of the jade plate, the hollow is engraved with an elegant word "Ning"!
