Kai Fu Han

Chapter 440 Tomb Sweeping
"Thank you, Sir!"... all kinds of words of thanks came from the mouths of those present.

"Go back all."

After arranging the deputy to take over the handover, Liu Xinqi directly led a platoon of guards and rushed upstream along the Changqing River, a tributary of the Jishui River.

We passed Lujiazhuang in the middle and continued on without stopping.

All the way to Liujiabao.

The current person in charge of Liujiabao is a spy who listens carefully.

When Liu Xinqi led people into the door, the person in charge had already come out to greet him.

"Welcome back, leader."

"Get up."

Liu Xinqi dismounted and handed the horse to the person in charge to take care of it. He entered Liujiapu from the north gate and looked at the familiar houses and streets. Liu Xinqi felt a lot of emotion.

Liujiabao is still the same Liujiabao, but the people inside have been changed, and there are no more Liu family members.

In the future, there is no need to move the clansmen back. The Liujiabao in Baishiwan is much better than here.

"How many people are there in the fort now?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"There are more than 900 people, most of whom are refugees from Hebei, and some poor local children who have no land to farm at home come here and rent land in Liujiabao for farming," the person in charge replied.

The land reclaimed by Liujiabao still belongs to Liujiabao. No one came to grab it before, and no one will dare to grab it in the future.

However, Liu Xinqi had planned to sell all the cultivated land to Mengli, and the money from the land sale would be distributed to the Liujiabao people in Dengzhou.

All the way through the fort, the sky has darkened. After a day of busy work in the fields, the residents of Xinbao who returned home have already started to light fires to cook. The smoke is curling up, and the aroma of food can be heard from time to time.

Liu Xinqi, who had not eaten well for several days, felt a little hungry when he smelled the food.

Walking out of the south gate of Liujiabao, there was someone waiting outside the door with paper money in his hand. When he saw Liu Xinqi coming out, he quickly came over to say hello, and then followed Liu Xinqi.

"Go back, I'll go alone." Liu Xinqi took the paper money from the man, and found that there were still some wine and meat in the basket.

"You have a heart." Liu Xinqi patted the person in charge on the shoulder.

"It's what subordinates should do."

"Arrange my guards, we will stay here tonight." Liu Xinqi arranged.

"It's all ready."

"Okay, you guys go back, I'll go there alone." Liu Xinqi said again.

Everyone turned back to the fort, and Liu Xinqi walked towards his father's graveyard alone.

I left in a hurry before, and the cemetery is very simple, but the person in charge here is very caring and has repaired everything.Not only the tomb of Liu Xinqi's father, but also the tombs of other Liujiabao victims have been repaired.The graves were cleaned well except that the wooden tombstones were not replaced.

Liu Xinqi could only erect the monument himself, and it would be trespassing if anyone else did it.

Looking at the rotten wooden tombstone in front of him, Liu Xinqi knelt down and began to kowtow.

"Father, the child is back."

"The child came back openly and honestly."

"From now on, the people of Liujiabao will never be bullied by anyone again."

"The kids have done it."

As he spoke, Liu Xinqi's eyes were already a little moist.

After opening the wine jar, Liu Xinqi opened two wine bowls and filled them both with wine. He sprinkled one bowl in front of his father's tombstone and drank the other bowl himself.

"My child promises you to take good care of your mother, take good care of your clan, and take good care of Liujiabao."

"I did it all."

"It's a pity you can't see it."

"Now the Liujiabao people are living a very good life. They don't have to worry about food and clothing, and all their children can receive the highest education."

He filled the wine bowls again, sprinkled one bowl in front of his father's tombstone, and drank the other bowl in one gulp. "My child is already married, and your daughter-in-law is Yue'er, who is very cute and virtuous."

"When I return to Dengzhou this time, I plan to have a child, and then my mother will be busy."

...

"It's a pity you can't even see it."

"I miss you, kid."

Liu Xinqi talked a lot, and most of the wine in the wine jar went into his stomach. The meat was placed in front of the tombstone, and none of it was touched.

His physique is different from that of ordinary people, but Liu Xinqi, who drank on an empty stomach, was already a little tipsy.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, people are self-intoxicating.

Liu Xinqi was under too much pressure and could only relax in front of his father's tombstone.

Liu Xinqi didn't stop until the moon was in the sky.

He knelt down and kowtowed three times to his father.

"The year after next at the latest, I will bring your grandson here to pay homage to you."

"Now my wish has not been realized, the suffering of the nation has not ended, and the child has to go to work. I hope that my father's spirit in heaven will bless the child and everything will go smoothly."

……

When we returned to Liujiabao, the person in charge was waiting at the south gate.

Liu Xinqi didn't say anything more and followed him back to his original home. The house had been tidied up, and Liu Xinqi's original room had been replaced with clean and tidy bedding.

There was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old waiting to be served in the yard.

Liu Xinqi knew in his heart that there must be elders from the clan guiding him behind all this, and the person in charge was just an executor.

Looking at this girl's appearance and body, you can tell that she is a well-educated and sensible lady. To be able to appear here now, it must be that the family has spent a lot of effort to pass the review of the clan elders.

Liu Xinqi had been married for such a long time and had no children. His mother was persuaded by him, but the elders of the clan were still worried about whether Zhou Yue was infertile.

"You don't have to serve me. Don't enter my room without my instructions." Liu Xin said.

"Yes!" The girl and the person in charge responded together.

Lying on his bed, Liu Xinqi felt very comfortable. Looking at the familiar roof, every bone in Liu Xinqi's body felt comfortable.

"My son wants to support me but refuses to be kissed. If my father were still alive, he could have given me a younger brother and sister."

"hey-hey."

He muttered these words to himself drunkenly, and then he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

...

In the morning, he was awakened by the magpie outside the window. Liu Xinqi opened his eyes and stretched out his waist.

Since the second year of Yuankang, when Liujiabao was attacked by the Jin soldiers, Liu Xinqi had never had such a peaceful sleep again.

Open the door and go out, looking at the clear sky, as clear as a wash, and the bright morning light swaying wantonly in the yard.

The girl had already gotten up and made breakfast.

"Good morning, Leader, the meal is ready. Would you like to wash up before eating?"

Liu Xinqi followed the girl's instructions and looked to the side.

Toiletries have been prepared by the well, including Penglai's latest pig-bristle toothbrush and tooth powder.

It can be said to be well-intentioned.

After washing up, Liu Xinqi sat on the low table and picked up the porridge.

"After today, I will definitely come here rarely, not even once in several years. So you don't have to stay here, go home early."
