Asking the heavens starts with Xiaoao

Chapter 58
The efficiency of the neighbors is still very high.In one day, Mu Boyan had already been encoffined, and the bodies of other villagers were also put together, waiting for Murong Xian'er to speak.

Murong Xian'er sat in the mourning hall with a blank expression.Since Yue Buqun left yesterday, she has been guarding here alone, and it has been a day and a night, and no water has entered.

There were women she knew well around who brought food, but she shook her head and refused.

The woman had no choice but to sit here with her and take care of her carefully.

It was almost noon, and Murong Xian'er woke up from her grief, only to feel that her legs were sore and numb, it was obvious that she had been kneeling for a long time, and her Qi and blood were not smooth.

She tried her best to stand up, but her legs were so numb that she couldn't use her strength. She was staggering and couldn't stand up after several attempts. The women around her had gone out on business, and they all disappeared.

After several efforts, Murong Xian'er finally stood up. She was about to move her numb legs when she heard footsteps at the door, and a gentle voice said: "Xian'er, I'm back."

Murong Xian'er looked up, and saw Yue Buqun standing in front of the door, tall and tall, as rich as jade.

Murong Xian'er's mind was relaxed for a moment, the big stone in her heart was completely let go, the tension that had been tense for a day and night relaxed, and a feeling of exhaustion suddenly hit her whole body.Murong Xian'er felt dizzy for a while, as if she was about to fall backwards.

Yue Buqun took a few steps forward and supported Murong Xian'er to prevent her from falling.

Murong Xian'er said to Yue Buqun wearily: "Brother Yue, Xian'er is fine, just a little tired, just rest for a while."

Yue Buqun said seriously: "Don't talk too much, go eat something first, and go to sleep after eating, I'm here for everything." After speaking, he called a woman and asked her to take Murong Xian'er there. eat.

Murong Xian'er saw Yue Buqun's resolute attitude, and she herself was exhausted, so she stopped insisting and followed the woman to the kitchen for dinner.

Yue Buqun walked to the gate of the mourning hall, and saw a fat old man standing in the middle of the courtyard, barking his teeth and claws and loudly ordering the neighbors to build a shed.

He gave instructions in a mess, but none of the neighbors paid any attention to him.Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly moved his right foot away, picked up a copper plate from the ground, blew on the ashes, put it in his pocket, looked around, and walked to other places.

Yue Buqun saw that this man was interesting, stopped a woman, pointed to the old man and asked, "Dare to ask this sister-in-law, who is that old man? He looks like he has a lot of status."

The woman looked at the old man and said with contempt: "Ask him, he is a local rich man from all over the world, he is the most greedy and stingy in his life, he has plucked wild geese, and even killed several people because of the fields. "

"His son is the magistrate of the county, but he only acts as a tyrant over us. He attacked Wuhu Mountain several times, but was beaten back by the bandits. In the end, he killed a few people randomly and went back to work. The father and son are greedy for money. Fate, a tyrannical domineering, is not a good thing."

"This old man has always been unprofitable. If he came here today, he might have set his sights on a large piece of good land in Mujia Village."

Yue Buqun glanced at the door, thought for a while, took out a few silver ingots that he had picked up casually in the morning, walked over and handed them to the old man, saying: "Thank you, old man, for leading all the neighbors to help take care of Mu... father-in-law's funeral. My son is young and doesn't know anything about these things, if the old man didn't bring someone to help, I really don't know what to do."

When the old man saw the silver ingot in Yue Buqun's hand, he couldn't take his eyes off, but he wanted to save face.At the moment, he pretended to decline and said: "Young Master Yue is too polite, it's just a little effort. This old man can only survive because of Dr. Mu's kindness. It's only natural to help, but this money is out of the question."

Yue Buqun hurriedly said: "Old man, don't refuse. The Mu family village has suffered such a catastrophe, and there is only Xian'er in the whole village. After taking care of it, it is really powerless."

"These silver coins are firstly used to help Mujia Villagers buy coffins, and secondly, the neighbors have been helping for two days. They are tired and hungry, and the rest of the money will be used to buy some rich food. Please have a meal and chat with me below." Xian'er's gratitude. The rest of Mu's Village will have to rely on everyone's help in the follow-up funeral affairs."

The old man snatched the silver ingot from Yue Buqun's hand, and said, "Young Master Yue is very considerate. This old man has ordered someone to urgently order the inner and outer coffins. We must bury the people of Mu's Village properly."

"As for eating, you don't need it. Everyone is grateful for Dr. Mu's kindness. They all volunteered to help, and they will never let you spend money." Having said that, he put the silver ingot into his pocket with his backhand.

Yue Buqun shook his head, and after chatting for a few words, he turned back to the mourning hall, knelt down in front of Mu Boyan's spirit, and stood guard for Murong Xian'er.

Murong Xian'er slept soundly and didn't wake up until the next morning.After she woke up, she went to replace Yue Buqun after eating a little.

When she walked to the door of the mourning hall, she was slightly taken aback, apparently the situation inside was beyond her expectation.

But seeing Yue Buqun wearing filial piety clothes and filial hat, kneeling in front of Mu Boyan's coffin, guarding Mu Boyan's coffin as a filial son.

When Mu Boyan entrusted Murong Xian'er to Yue Buqun that day, Yue Buqun actually refused, and only reluctantly agreed when Mu Boyan pressed him again.Murong Xian'er Bingxue is smart and good at observing words and expressions, so she can naturally discern Yue Buqun's true intentions.

Now Yue Buqun guards Mu Boyan's spirit as a filial son, so he acquiesces to their marriage contract.Murong Xian'er had mixed feelings, she didn't know whether it was better to enter or not.

After a while, Murong Xian'er calmed down, walked into the mourning hall, and said to Yue Buqun: "Brother Yue, let me do it instead, you should go down and rest."

Yue Buqun saw that Murong Xian'er looked much better than yesterday, and he himself hadn't closed his eyes for two days and nights, even though he was armed with martial arts, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he told him to go down and rest.

Yue Buqun and Murong Xian'er took turns to guard the spirit and lasted through the third day.

According to the customs of Fuzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, the dead are usually buried for three days, after which they can be buried.In the early morning of the fourth day, the two buried Mu Boyan solemnly with the help of their neighbors.

At the time of the burial, Murong Xian'er cried until she died, Yue Buqun tried to persuade her, and finally calmed down.

After the funeral, all the neighbors bid farewell and left.Yue Buqun left the old man behind and told the whole story about the bandits in Wuhu Mountain.

The old man enviously said: "So the Wuhu Mountain bandits have been wiped out by Mr. Yue? Hehe, these bandits are all registered in the county, and a head is worth a lot of money."

Yue Buqun shook his head and said: "All the bandits were executed, but the leader was not on the scene because of something, so he slipped through the net."

The old man said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if one escapes, forgive him for not daring to come back for revenge. Mr. Yue, where are the bandits you exterminated buried?"
