mortal clerk

Chapter 20

Afterwards, Old Shen took Xiao Anzi to continue to collect the corpses. Old Shen was in charge of collecting the guards, and Xiao Anzi was in charge of collecting the handlebars.

These people who run the official road are all earning a living. Before they set off, they have pledged in a commercial firm and signed a pledge letter similar to a blood contract. Once the death is confirmed, the pledge letter will show that the corresponding compensation will be automatically paid to them according to the agreement. designated person.

The risks are high, but the rewards are big!Therefore, after everyone collected the corpses, they burned them to ashes, clean.

At this time, Li Qingniu, who had been sleeping for a long time, finally woke up from hunger, and the stench of burning corpses almost choked Li Qingniu who had just woken up from starvation!Seeing this, Li Lao Er hurriedly poured some tea for him to drink, and he felt better just now.

Seeing the fire outside the carriage, Li Qingniu frowned and asked, "Second Dad, what is this for? Why is it so stinky!"

Li's second son didn't know how to answer, but Xiao Anzi answered through the car window.

"It's burning people to death!"

"Ah! Dead? Dead?"

"You slept soundly enough, we are the only ones left after death!"

"ah,………"

Li Lao Er didn't want to scare Li Qingniu too much, but he didn't know how to make it up, and Xiao Anzi said it without thinking about it, and he had no choice but to tell the general story.Of course, Deacon Mu didn't mention that he wanted to repent.

Although Li Qingniu was terrified after hearing this, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, he felt that so many people who were alive yesterday were all dead today, not even dust.Can't help but feel sad.

"Second Dad, although these people haven't known each other for long, they have treated me very well and told me many interesting things along the way. I want to see them off."

Seeing the tragic death of these people, Li Laoer was also very sad.

"Go!"

Li Qingniu ran to the fire and looked at these people who were alive, but they were all reduced to ashes overnight, thinking about it, he burst into tears, crying and chanting the names of the handlebars and the guards he knew, After talking about it, he wanted food and wine and put the dry food left by his mother beside the fire.

"Several uncles, you are people I just met, but I don't want to... This is the steamed bun that my grandma gave me before leaving the house. Let me eat it. Your children may not know that you are gone. , and I can’t kowtow to you. According to the customs of our village, when the elders are gone, the juniors have to kowtow. Although you bother me, I also regard you as elders and kowtow to you!”

After saying that, according to the custom in the village, he kowtowed three times before getting up.

This scene made Li's second child uncomfortable. This child is so kind, and it's kind of dangerous.I have only known each other for a few days, and I treat these people as elders.

No, take the time to tell him that the outside world is very dangerous, and most people cannot be easily trusted like in the village!
Lao Shen looked at Li Qingniu's behavior, but was very surprised and moved in his heart. This kid usually finds it annoying, but unexpectedly he is a kind and righteous person, so he walked behind him to comfort him.

"Little guy, with your words, their care for you along the way is worth it!"

When Li Qingniu cried like this, it made Xiao Anzi cry too.I thought to myself, I have been with Master Chen and the others for more than a year, and I am ashamed that I am not as good as this ten-year-old child in the face of their life and death.

Luo Wushuang in the distance watched quietly and nodded silently.

It was almost noon when the whole group finished their sacrifices, and everyone packed up some dry food and tea and waited beside the official road to see if they could meet a suitable caravan.This matter naturally fell on the master Pu Shan and Lao Shen. The old man was in charge of talking with the caravan, Lao Shen was in charge of secretly observing who were warriors, and Xiao Anzi was in charge of preparing food and drinks for everyone.

Li Laoer, who was resting in the carriage, looked at Li Qingniu, who was sad and eating cakes.

"Xiao Niu'er, you fell asleep last night, and you really didn't hear anything? How could you sleep for so long with an empty stomach? So heavy?"

Li Qingniu recalled for a while and replied: "I don't know, I just felt so sleepy, and then I fell asleep. By the way, second dad, I had a lot of weird dreams!"

"What did you dream about?"

"Well... I dreamed of a big mountain, a giant, an old man, and a big cow, which was bigger than our cow and could talk! I also dreamed of the little goldfish I saw in the water that time. He can also talk! Isn’t it strange for you to say that!”

Listening to Li Qingniu's dream, Li Er Er thought to himself that he had experienced too many things recently, so it is normal to dream about some messy things.Then asked again.

"Xiao Niuer, what else did you dream about?"

Li Qingniu thought for a while and said: "I dreamed that I was flying in the clouds! Suddenly a group of monsters and ghosts appeared. I was nervous and afraid, and then I remembered that we have a sword. I raised the sword and waved it, and those monsters and ghosts disappeared. Already!"

Li Laoer was even more confused after hearing this, thinking, it seems that the incident of gods and demons these days has deeply affected this kid.well!Little Niuer, Second Dad regrets it a bit. If it weren't for the legend of my ancestors, maybe I should really let you stay in the village and live a life of carefree life.

Thinking of this, he suddenly coughed violently, Li Qingniu hurried forward to pour water, and patted his back like his father, Li Laoer gradually calmed down, and then asked softly.

"Xiao Niu'er, do you still want to go to the county to study? If you regret it now, the second dad can take you home, anyway, it's not far from home!"

Li Qingniu looked at Li Lao Er doubtfully and replied, "I want to! Why don't you go?"

Second Li was slightly surprised.

"So straightforward? Aren't you afraid? You saw it today, the outside world is dangerous! Second Dad also figured it out, those rumors in the family may really be just myths fabricated by the ancestors!"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Aren't I fine? Grandma always said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed! Today is so dangerous, and we are all fine, so we are all destined!"

After speaking, Li Qingniu looked proud.Hearing that he was so determined, Li Laoer said "The destiny is for you!", he couldn't help laughing in his heart, he had lived in vain for decades, yet no child could understand it!Immediately curious again.

"Where did you hear about your destiny?"

Li Qingniu hehe replied: "Old Shen told me a few days ago that the emperor of Shendu had an ancestral stone on which was written, 'Heaven's destiny belongs, longevity is eternal'. I think we have experienced such a big thing. What else can happen, it shows that we are also destined to belong to us!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Lao Er hurriedly looked around and taught him a lesson in a low voice.

"You boy, how dare you say that the emperor said that his destiny belongs to him, how dare we talk nonsense, if people hear it, we will be beheaded!"

Li Qingniu was very disdainful.

"Old Shen has already said that the emperor of the mortal world is no more than an ordinary mortal in the eyes of immortals. I want to learn the art of immortality and become an immortal. The old emperor said it, so why can't I say it!"

Li Lao Er hurriedly covered Li Qingniu's mouth, very annoyed.

"It's all my second dad's fault. I've been unwell for the past few days, so I let you get too close to that guard Shen, and it's ruined you! Although we are far away from the emperor, we are not under the jurisdiction of the emperor of the gods, but I I've heard that under the rule of the gods, you will be killed if you say such things! From now on, you can't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that his second father was so nervous, Li Qingniu didn't dare to say any more. He nodded to show that he understood, but he thought in his heart, besides, if I go back now, Wang Ergou and the others will have to laugh at me for the rest of my life!

　Life is never easy, but there are always difficulties!
