Lian'er slowly put down her brother's body, turned around and kowtowed to everyone, "All kind-hearted uncles and aunties, please help me bury my mother and brother. I will repay you by working as a cow or a horse in my next life."

Gu Zhang sighed, "Daughter, please get up and stop kneeling. We should help each other."

He turned around and shouted: "Da Lang Er Lang, help carry people."

"Xiao Fei, go get the shovel from home."

Gu Fei quickly ran to the inn, took the shovel from the mule cart and ran over. Gu Zhang hurriedly took it.

Gu Qing and Erlang carried the woman, and Lian'er carried her brother on her back. The group turned the corner and arrived outside the town.

Gu Zhang found a flat piece of land and asked Sanlang to dig a hole.

Sanlang dug for a while, sweating profusely, and Erlang continued digging.

In a short time, a pit was dug one meter deep and as wide as one person.

Erlang Sanlang put the woman down, Gu Fei took out the torn cotton jacket from the woman's bag and covered her face, and Lian'er put her brother next to her mother.

She took the other shabby cotton jacket left in the bag and covered her brother with it, staring blankly at the two people lying together in the pit.

Gu Erlang went down with the shovel, kicked up soil and sprinkled it.

There is more and more dirt, and gradually you can only see a piece of clothing, and then nothing can be seen.

Several people built a grave together, and Gu Zhang found a wooden board and planned to insert it on it.

Gu Fei suddenly said, "Dad, I have a knife here."

She took out a dagger. Gu Zhang nodded, took it, and asked Lian'er, "What are your mother and brother's names? I'd like to make a monument. Maybe I can find them later."

Lian'er shook her head numbly, "I don't know, I just know that my mother's surname is Zhang, my grandma calls her Erya, and my aunt calls her Erjie."

"My brother's name is Liu Song."

Gu Fei felt pity in her heart. In this era, women are a kind of existence without names. They can be called whatever they want.

Gu Zhang took the dagger and reluctantly carved a few words on the wooden board, the tomb of Zhang's second sister Liu Song.

Gu Zhang inserted the wooden board in front of the grave, and Lian'er knelt down and kowtowed several times.

Aunt Liu pulled her up and said, "Daughter, let's go. It's not a bad thing to leave in this world. They don't have to suffer anymore. They are going to enjoy the blessings."

Lian Ermu was pulled by Aunt Liu in a daze, and the group of people circled back to the inn.

As soon as they entered the backyard, Mrs. Qian pointed at Lian'er and screamed, "You damn girl, where have you gone? You just ran away while I was cooking. Do you think I won't beat you to death?"

Gu Zhang shouted sharply, "Sister-in-law, please calm down!"

"Lian'er's mother and brother are gone, so we have to collect the bodies!"

Qian was startled for a moment and then stopped talking.

Lian'er walked over numbly, mechanically picked up the firewood and stuffed it into the stove hole.

The backyard fell silent, and everyone looked sympathetically at the thin girl squatting in front of the stove to light the fire.

······

After breakfast and filling with water, everyone drove the mules out and harnessed them.

At this time, the guards in black clothes from the inn came out. Those who led the horses led the horses, and those who harnessed the carts were in an orderly manner. After a while, they were all sorted.

The beautiful middle-aged woman came out of the inn and was helped by several girls into the car. The young man also came out, changed into a light blue brocade robe, with a black jade hairpin on his head, and got into another green car. Oil truck.

The carriage moved slowly.

The young man suddenly opened the curtain and took a look at the girl wearing a blue floral jacket and skirt.

Gu Fei accidentally looked over and met the young man's eyes.

His clear and cold gaze was like a mountain stream, clear and clean.
