Chapter 33: A Piece of Ashes
--------
"Yunsu, girl, girl, wake up...."
Entering the door, Li Shengnong shook Qin Yunsu vigorously
"Grandfather.... Is it dawn? Let's go."
"Are you alright?"
"What's the matter?"
"You two... Last night, nothing else happened, did he? He didn't bully you, did he?"
"No, grandfather, your eyes are so red, haven't you slept well?"
"Oh.... Hehehe, it's okay, hurry up, go out and eat something, we're on our way"
"Oh, good...."
"What are you doing in this dress?"
"Oh, I've got it inside, just take it off"
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside"
-----------
During the meal, Li Shengnong, the old boy, always stared at me, and I was embarrassed a few times, Qin Yunsu didn't speak, buried his head
"I.... I... I'm full, you eat quickly, I'll wait for you outside, you guys, remember to pack some dry food."
"Boss, we have eaten well, the second child and I will pack dry food, and the third and fourth children will go to lead the horse"
"Yes..."
I turned around, this old boy is still looking at me, I have a slit in my crotch, or my eyes are not buttoned, you look at me like this, bah, old pervert, I will ignore you in the future
Another day passed, the sunset has hung in the sky, finally arrived at the Meishan Mountain, since I came back, or go to see the old woman, but to Wangya Village can only be driven by boat, there is no land
On the riverside, we saw a hut with an old man sitting on a boat, which seemed to be a nearby fisherman's house, and the boat was quite large enough to carry six of us
"Uncle, can you send me to Wangya Village?"
"Wangya Village? is still on the other side of Meishan.... There are at least five miles of waterway, going upstream, rowing over, and it's dark, I've been fishing for more than ten years, and I've only been there once."
"Uncle, if you take this silver, I'll ask you to help us work hard."
Qin Yunsu on the side finally spoke, only to see him take out ten taels of silver, this kid is really generous, he is more willing to spend money than I used to be
"That's a lot of silver, it's too much."
"You're welcome, uncle, the silver is your hard work, and it deserves it, and besides, our horses still need you to take care of them."
"Well, thank you little boy, it's just that there are six of you, and I row too slowly, and besides, I'm still sailing against the current..."
"Don't worry, our four brothers will help you row, and we will guarantee that it will be faster than the water."
"Okay, you tie the horses to the tree, and I'll ask my wife to watch the horses for you."
After that, we went to tie the horse, he went to explain to his insider, we got on the boat, five people rowed, the speed was really fast, fortunately with them, otherwise it was me who rowed, how tired it was, looking at their sweaty appearance, I quietly secretly had fun
However, Li Shengnong, an old boy, never moved his eyes
"Senior brother, where did I get a big face or what, you see I've been all day"
"Oh.... I didn't sleep well, I was stunned, stunned..."
"Stunned? Don't look at me, panic."
I wrapped my clothes and moved to the side a little, Qin Yunsu next to me pursed his lips and smiled, this kid, still has the heart to look at my jokes, I shouldn't have covered you with a quilt last night, I will kill you coldly
Slowly, I fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes, it was already dark all around, the boatman had already lit a torch, the wind on the river blew my ears stiff, my nose came out, and the sound of the river flowing gently
Senior Brother Li Shengnong and Qin Yunsu were still squinting, and they didn't know if they were asleep
I don't know how long it was
"It's here, it's here, do you see the yellow fruit tree in front of you? I came when I was a child, and it wasn't that big, hehehe..."
"Oh mom, I'm tired.... Finally, I passed by the general's tomb, and I really wanted to go and see it."
"Dick.... Shut up, don't talk about tomb robbing."
"Oh...."
Compared to our coldness, they are sweating profusely
When the boat landed, I jumped down first, and the surroundings were quiet, without a trace of life, what happened?
"Little junior brother, are you sure there is someone here?"
"I fell off the cliff, but fortunately my mother-in-law rescued me, and I picked up a life, and I went a little further to see"
"Do you want to go any further? You see that your feet are all ashes, isn't this place already burned down?"
When I looked down, it was all black and gray, as if it had been burned by the fire for a long time, and a lot of grass had grown around it
"Ah~ mother-in-law, mother-in-law...."
I took the torch and ran around looking for it, and the coffin was followed by the four people, and I saw the ruins, not even the sound of a single worm
"Master, it seems that there is a great disaster here, there is no bird call, don't go forward, it must be the same"
The coffin was not protected and I was holding a torch and pulling me to say
"My mother-in-law saved my life, I haven't repaid the favor, but now there are no bones, I can't feel at ease"
"The head of the family knows the grace of the report, I admire, but it's not a way to find it like this, you think about it in a good place, maybe it's not impossible for them to move to other places, let's find a place to spend the night, tomorrow go to Meishan to get medicinal herbs, if it's fate, you will be able to meet"
When he said this, I relaxed a lot, maybe it was really all taken away, and I slowly walked back
----------
"Boss, he doesn't know, don't you know yet, look at the ground, it's all burned ashes, and everyone here is burned to death"
"Shhhhh
----------
When I came back, I was still very depressed
"Unexpectedly, once ten years ago, although everyone has run almost the same, but there are still a few families, hey! Now it's this picture, since you have arrived, then I will go back, my wife is still waiting for me to go back, you can rest assured, I will help you feed the horse, and say goodbye...."
"The boatman should be careful when he goes back"
"Farewell"
The boatman said goodbye and sailed away
-------------
"Doctor Li.... You can also see that the yin qi here is too heavy, it is not suitable to rest here, I suggest that we go to the mountain and find a place to rest, you see how it is"
The coffin bowed and asked
"Well, it's okay, the ground is full of ashes, I don't want to rest here, let's go to the mountain, I remember that my master and I have been here, there should be a road up the mountain behind, let's go"
-------------
"Little junior brother, let's go up the mountain first"
Seeing that I bowed my head and was silent, Li Shengnong came over and said a word to me and walked in front of Qin Yunsu
"Little brother in charge, let's go, the tung oil is almost burned out, and if you don't go later, you won't be able to see the road."
Everyone is on the road again, the road to the mountain is extremely difficult to walk, this coffin is not guaranteed that the four people are still picking up dry grass and trees while walking, isn't this nothing to find work to do, and it is not better to pick it up when it comes to the place
"I remembered, there should be a cave around here, when my master and I went down to see the villagers, we sheltered from the rain in it, and everyone looked separately, and when we found it, we rested in it."
After Li Shengnong finished speaking, we went separately to look for it, saying that it was separated, just two torches, his grandfather and grandson went on one side, and the coffin and the four of us went on the other
"Found it, here it is"
We found the entrance to the cave first, and a few people walked in
"Brothers, put the wood fire here, and the torch will be extinguished."
The four of them piled up the dry wood in their hands together, which really made me admire it, sure enough, they are experienced in the rivers and lakes, how can they find so many dry wood sticks temporarily, it is really right to bring them here
"Haha, yes, you guys are really thoughtful, I just looked, there are mountains and rocks all around, if you didn't pick up so many fires, it is estimated that you will freeze here tonight, the old man admires, admires"
"We used to sleep in the open air, sleeping wherever we went, these are all things that must be paid attention to, hehehe..."
was praised by Li Shengnong for the first time, and the four of them were very happy
"Oh, there's water in the kettle, let's eat some dry food, the second child takes out the dry food on his body and divides it"
Everyone was sharing the dry food and drinking water, and I was thirsty, but luckily they had filled the boat with water just now, and I was gulping down
