Chapter 579 Burial
The Northwest is still too dry.This small town located in the most northwest border of the Sun Moon Dynasty was even more terrifying.

Even with Li Er by his side, Su Ran still woke up several times during the night.

Li Er hadn't come back for many years, unexpectedly he couldn't adapt to the environment here, he also woke up several times at night.

Looking at his wife's chapped lips due to dryness, guilt appeared in his eyes: "Starting tomorrow, ask them to put a few basins of water in the room, so that it will be better."

"Forget it! The water source in this place is so precious, and the people are trying to save water, how can we waste it at will? Not to mention that we have just arrived, so we need to be more careful everywhere." Su Ran shook her head, and stretched out her hand in the water He patted on the body, "I just didn't get used to it when I first came here, and it will get better after a while. When you arrive in a new place, there is always a process of adaptation. Who is so delicate?"

Li Er's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he quickly reached out to pull her into his arms. "It's hard for you."

"It's nothing, go to sleep!" Su Ran smiled at him and closed her eyes.

Li Er also twitched the corners of his mouth, and slowly closed his eyes.

But no matter how nice it sounds now, the body cannot quickly adapt to the climate here.Su Ran didn't sleep well that night, and neither did Li Er.

Early the next morning, Brother Zhuang and the others came over after they got up.The four children stood there looking slumped, only brother Zhuang and sister Zhu were in better spirits.

The whole family put on filial piety clothes and burlap, and wept together, and went to the front yard where the remains of the ancestors of the Xu family were stored.

The bones of Laozhen Xiwang and others were put into coffins long ago. Because of the large number of people, there are more than a dozen of them who can be named. The front hall is not enough for storage, so we can only find a more empty front yard , barely opened the coffin.

Su Ran looked at the many dark coffins in front of her from a distance, her heart tightened for a while, and tears began to come out of her eyes.

Quickly followed Li Er to step forward, and they knelt down in front of the coffin together.

Li Eryin endured it for so long, and this time he finally burst into tears uncontrollably.

"Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, second uncle and third uncle, the child is unfilial, I just came back to see you today, please punish the child!"

The mournful cry was so piercing, and Su Ran's tears couldn't stop falling down.

Looking at the coffins in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the situation when she and Hua'er fled together.At the beginning, there were dozens of people around them, all carefully selected by the princess for them.But what about dozens of loyal people?Facing the large number of men and horses pursued and killed by King Jin, they couldn't resist at all.They absconded all the way, and their people died all the way. Many people died and even had no time to collect their bones, so they were thrown in the wilderness, where wolves, tigers and leopards were torn.

The princess died of illness in her arms.That once so delicate and charming girl, she was supposed to stand on the top of the empire and be worshiped by all people, and after her death, she should be carried into the imperial mausoleum gracefully, but in the end, she was just hastily dug a hole by herself buried.Even I was too flustered at the time, so I just found a random place to bury him.When she wanted to look for it later, she didn't know where she buried the Princess!
After all, they seem to be even worse.At any rate, after the old King Zhenxi and the others passed away, some people who had been kind to King Zhenxi secretly came to help them collect their bones and quietly found a place to bury them.

Now that Mr. Yuan is back, at least he can find the place where their bones are stored through the guidance of the old people, and then reburies them.But their people?And the princess... I owe too much to the princess in my life.

Thinking of this, Su Ran felt even more sad, and her tears couldn't stop like heavy rain.

Seeing his parents crying so sadly, Brother Zhuang and his brothers and sisters all cried too.

The maids and servants around couldn't help but began to wipe their tears.

However, they are destined to seize this little time and cry to their heart's content.Because it won't be long before someone comes to offer their condolences.

The news of King Zhenxi's return to the northwest had spread throughout the northwest a few months ago.Li Erzai's performance in Ganzhou Wei yesterday let everyone know where he is.Therefore, starting from noon today, in addition to the officers and soldiers in the barracks taking turns to offer incense to the Old Town West King, there are also nearby officials who came with their families to mourn the old Town West King.

That is, after Su Ran and Li Er cried bitterly, there was a shrill wail from outside - "Old Prince, my subordinates are coming to see you!"

Afterwards, an old man with gray beard and hair ran in from the outside scrambling.He staggered and fell to the ground several times.The servant wanted to go forward to help, but was pushed away by him.After falling down a few times, he couldn't get up at all, and just crawled forward, the wail in his mouth never stopped.

This appearance almost provoked Su Ran to tears again.

When the old man climbed to the coffin, he had already cried so much that his face was mottled with tears, and even his beard was wet.He knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, crying bitterly as he kowtowed: "My lord, I'm late, please forgive me! I've been waiting for so many years, but it's finally this day." , this subordinate can finally worship you openly! My lord... my lord!"

At the end of crying, he rolled his eyes and almost passed out.

The generals who had already arrived on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.One comforted his chest and the other pinched him, and the old man slowly opened his eyes.

"Who is this person?" Su Ran asked Li Er in a low voice.Seeing him crying so intensely, Su Ran almost thought he was also from the Xu family!

"Mother, he is Wu Fulai." Brother Zhuang whispered.

Oh, that's him.He really is a wonderful person, Su Ran sighed inwardly.

He was not the first batch to come to express condolences, nor was he the last batch, but among those who appeared in the middle, he was the only one who could cry so sadly and leave such a deep impression on people.

Now that he has seen the true face of this person with his own eyes, Su Ran finally understands why he can be liked by Kong Yu.

An old man with such a loyal face, who still misses his old master until now, can cry so sincerely today, and is not afraid of being ashamed of his age, who else in this world can compare?

Presumably, he was the same when he was in front of Kong Hao!

At this time, Li Er had also got up.

"General Wu, please don't be too sad." He said in a deep voice.

"Little prince..." Unexpectedly, upon seeing Li Er, Wu Fulai trembled with excitement, and almost passed out again.

Fortunately, Li Er grabbed him and stabilized him.He slowly came back to his senses, then grabbed Li Er firmly with both hands, and continued to cry like rain.

"My lord, you are back! Now that you are here, there is hope for the Northwest! The subordinates are so looking forward to this day that they are almost blind!" He cried and almost lost his breath several times. go.

Brother Bian whispered to Su Ran again: "When we met yesterday, he had passed out several times in front of Dad."

Su Ran pouted helplessly.

However, she had nothing to say about the old man's performance.After all, according to Sister Hua, the reason why the bones of the old Zhenxi Wang and the others can be preserved so well is also thanks to the old man's private protection!Both she and Li Er should be grateful to General Wu.

Li Er also showed his gratitude to Wu Fulai.Before so many generals came over, he just nodded and said a word and it was over.But facing the old man, he said several words.Under his consolation, Wu Fulai managed to put away his tears and nose, but he refused to sit down. He insisted on kneeling in front of the Old Zhenxi Wang Ling to show his punishment for not doing his duty all these years.Li Er had no choice but to ask someone to bring him a futon.

Later, a lot of people came one after another. The first thing they did after entering the door was to cry the spirit, and then to comfort Su Ran and Li Er. Both Li Er and Su Ran thanked them with tears.

The crying spirit lasted for four or five days.On the day of Sixteen's burial, guests had already gathered in the palace, and all the officials and generals in the northwest had already arrived, and the palace was densely packed.

Li Erpingling, Su Ran followed behind with the children in sackcloth and filial piety. They walked out of the barracks all the way to an open place on the edge of Gansu Town, where several graves had already been marked out.

This place was where the first Zhenxi King was buried, and it was also the place chosen by Li Er's great-grandfather to bury his family in the future.It's a pity that only the first Zhenxi Wang and his wife were buried in this place, and it was abandoned later.After Mr. Yuan and Sister Hua came over, the two of them came to repair the cemetery in person, and finally cleaned up the place.

However, Su Ran found that this place is not big, only four or five mu of land in front and back, and there are no green mountains and green waters around, only a row of locust trees planted around it, which is not considered a treasure land of geomantic omen.It's just that the family is buried together, trying to have a happy reunion.

And now, they are reunited.

"rise--"

Mr. Yuan suddenly shouted, Li Er grabbed a clay basin and threw it heavily on the ground.

With a bang, he shouted loudly: "Grandpa, grandson is here to see you off, please go!"

"Old prince, let's go!" The soldiers behind also shouted in unison, shouting loudly.
