When Yun Kexin called out that mother, everyone present was stunned.

Even Yu Sanniang, who was crying bitterly, stopped crying.

She turned her head and stared blankly at Yun Kexin with eyes full of tears.

It took a long time for her to find her voice, and she choked and asked.

"Ke Xin, you, can you speak?"

Li Qingyan was also shocked.

So much so that the hand he held Yun Kexin was a little loose.

Yun Kexin took the opportunity to break free from Li Qingyan's embrace, rushed over and knelt beside Zhou's grave, crying and shouting.

"Mother, mother!"

She would only say this one word, over and over again.

His voice was a little hoarse.

Li Qingyan finally recovered.

He walked over, knelt down in front of Zhou's grave, and promised seriously.

"Mother, don't worry, since I have worshipped Kexin, she is my wife, I will take good care of her, and I will not let her suffer the slightest grievance. I will live up to her in this life!"

After he finished speaking, he bent down and nodded his head three times.

A gust of wind blew and rolled up a few leaves.

One of the fallen leaves just fell in front of Li Qingyan.

It was as if the Zhou family was responding to his promise.

Xiao Lingfeng found a fairly flat stone to serve as Zhou's tombstone.

Li Qingyan used the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he carried with him, and wrote the words "Mother Yun Zhou's Tomb" on the tombstone, and at the end added a small line of time, month and day.

Next to the Zhou family is Yun Changsheng's tomb.

The tombs of the husband and wife stand side by side, tightly dependent on each other.

I couldn't find so many stones suitable for tombstones for a while, and many tombs could only be made up of wooden boards.

Li Qingyan inscribed each tombstone, so that they could have a tomb to live in, so that they would not be exposed to the wilderness and become poor lonely ghosts.

The conditions in the mountains are limited, and there is definitely no ingot paper money or something.

Fortunately, Li Qingyan brought some melons, fruits, desserts and candies this time.

They placed these meals in front of each tomb, which was considered an offering for the villagers who died tragically.

When the funeral was over, everyone packed up and prepared to go down the mountain.

Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang were very reluctant to leave Dafu Village.

But they knew very well in their hearts that Dafu Village was gone, and even if they stayed, nothing would return to the past.

And they are two weak women, it is difficult to survive in the deep mountains and forests, leaving here is their only way out.

Xiao Lingfeng asked for two horses to be brought over and let Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang ride.

With horses on their way, they can walk a lot easier.

The group left Dafu Village and slowly went downstairs towards the mountain.

Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang couldn't help but turn their heads, and finally glanced at Dafu Village.

This is the place where they were born and raised, and the home they love most.

Today they are leaving the house.

I don't know when it will come back.

Maybe never come back.

Everything in the past has been reduced to ashes.

The road ahead is still uncertain.

...

After leaving Huafu Mountain, Xiao Lingfeng sent someone to inquire about the nearby villages and towns to see if he had seen Yu Jiu's group.

Li Qingyan took Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang to the county office.

The magistrate of Raohe County stated that he had never heard of the existence of Dafu Village before.

He also went to Dafu Village yesterday and saw the more than 100 charred corpses with his own eyes. Only then did he know that there was such a large village hidden in Huafu Mountain.

Over the years, the government has collected taxes and conscripted troops, but I have never been to Dafu Village.

Strictly speaking, this should be regarded as his dereliction of duty at work.

If the people of Dafu Village were still alive, the county magistrate would definitely order people to include all the information of these villagers in the household register, and ordered them to make up all the taxes they had missed over the years.

But the people in the stockade were almost dead, and only two poor and weak women were left.

What can the county magistrate do?

I can only hold my nose.

Because Dafuzhai has been escaping the world for years, never paid taxes or served in the military, the records in the official archives are blank.

This also means that Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang do not have serious household registrations.

To put it bluntly, they are two black households.

Li Qingyan brought them to the county office in order to give them a household registration so that they could walk in the world with dignity in the future.

With Li Qingyan, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel watching in person, the magistrate of Raohe County did not dare to be slighted, he helped to implement the household registration as quickly as possible, and thoughtfully wrote Yun Kexin's name to Li Qing in the domicile of the language.

In this way, they are officially recognized as legal couples.

Li Qingyan took everyone to the restaurant for dinner.

Because Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang were both still in mourning, all they ordered were vegetarian dishes, and they didn't even have tea, so they could only drink water.

Li Qingyan said to Yu Sanniang while serving Kexin.

"Ke Xin is already my wife. She must be going back to Shengjing with me. Are you going to Shengjing with us? Or do you have any other plans?"

Yu Sanniang was very confused.

Her parents' family and her husband's family are both from Dafu Village. Now that they are all dead, she has no relatives in this world. Yun Kexin is the only person she knows, and she doesn't want to be separated from Yun Kexin.

But she and Yun Kexin are just neighbors, not serious relatives. If she follows Yun Kexin to join Li Qingyan, she will not appear too cheeky.

Yun Kexin put down the bowl and chopsticks, took Yu Sanniang's hand, and said slowly, word by word.

"Walk together."

Since she called out that mother, she seemed to have been opened to the second line of Ren and Du, and she could finally speak.

But because she's not used to it, she speaks very slowly and in a strange tone.

Yu Sanniang was very moved when she saw her hand being held.

At this time, Li Qingyan also spoke.

"Ke Xin just lost her mother. If you can stay by her side, you can make her feel more relaxed."

Yun Kexin nodded vigorously, agreeing with Li Qingyan's words.

Yu Sanniang looked at their husband and wife and couldn't help but redden her eyes.

She choked and replied, "Thank you."

She had always lived in Dafu Village before, and had never been exposed to the outside world. She knew nothing about people and things outside, and she had no money on her body.

If Yun Kexin and Li Qingyan didn't want to take her in, she really didn't know how to survive, and the days to come would definitely be extremely rough.

Li Qingyan: "Let's eat, go to the inn to sleep when you're full, and when you're refreshed, let's go back to Shengjing."

After his efforts, the tax reform in Fengyang County has been on the right track.

Moreover, he has also cultivated some reliable personnel in Fengyang County.

Even if he leaves Fengyang County, those people can take over his job and continue to oversee the tax reform.

The next day, the group left Raohe County in a carriage and returned to Shengjing along the official road.

Taking advantage of nothing to do on the road, Li Qingyan began to teach Yun Kexin how to speak, and by the way, he introduced her home situation in detail.
