Concubine

Chapter 476 Cleaning and Burial
Yang Tashan saw that she was looking at Haiwan unsatisfied, and knew that she was very hungry, so he said: "Girl, you have been hungry for a long time, and your stomach has not eaten for a long time, so you can't drink too much at once, or your stomach can't bear it, wait for us After putting your mother in the ground, we are coming back to eat. Don't worry, you won't be hungry."

The little girl nodded with tears in her eyes.With food in my stomach, my spirit was much better, and I struggled to stand up.

Yang Tashan said to the fat shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, how much is this porridge?"

"One penny and two bowls, you can still ask for another bowl."

Yang Tashan took out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "Not yet, we will finish our work later, and then come to your place for dinner."

"Okay!" The fat shopkeeper took the penny with a bow. Although he secretly laughed at Yang Tashan for being taken advantage of, it was always good if someone came forward to deal with it. He also hoped that the business could be done as soon as possible. , hurriedly said: "Guest officer, do you want me to help you call the guy from the Shoucai shop to talk to you?"

Yang Tashan was worried that the shopkeeper would take advantage of it, so now he can save as much as he can, so it's better to talk about it in person.He clasped his hands and said, "Don't bother the shopkeeper, just please point out the path."

The fat shopkeeper pointed forward: "Turn across that street and walk a hundred steps forward. There are several longevity material shops on the right hand side. The prices are quite reasonable. You can compare them. By the way, they still have cemeteries. For sale, there are also shrouds and so on, and there are also people who can help wash the corpses and put them in the coffin..."

Yang Tashan nodded, seeing that the girl was much more energetic after drinking the porridge that night, he was relieved and patted her on the shoulder: "You wait for me here, I'll go find them, okay?"

The girl wiped away her tears and nodded.

Following the fat shopkeeper's instructions, Yang Tashan quickly found those longevity material stores. When he asked about the price, it was indeed a little less than what the fat shopkeeper said. According to the rules, this longevity material store does not bargain, so there is no way to bargain. .

Yang Tashan only bought the cheapest thin wooden coffin, the cheapest cemetery, and the cheapest shroud. Although the birthday material store has an operation, but there is a fee for the operation, Yang Tashan can save as much as he can now, and the total is calculated. , [-] wen less than what the fat shopkeeper said.

Yang Tashan was very happy, and bought another set of linen filial piety clothes for sixteen renminbi. When he saw men's and women's robes on the coat stand at the door, he thought of the girl's ragged clothes and felt sorry for him, so he went to the coat stand. With a girly figure, I spent 120 Wen to buy a light blue dress and a pair of embroidered shoes. After thinking about it, I spent another [-] Wen to buy a set of girls' underwear and a small wooden comb.

I went back to the birthday material store with my robes, paid the money, and signed the land deed of the cemetery. The deed has the specific location and four places of the cemetery, so it is easy to find.After all the calculations, there were nearly three hundred Wen in the purse.

He wrapped the girl's clothes, shroud, and filial piety on his back, and returned with the thin wooden coffin.

The girl was looking up, more or less worried that Yang Tashan would change his mind and run away. After all, five taels of silver is not a small amount. Seeing Yang Tashan come back with a thin wooden coffin, she was so grateful that she burst into tears. , Kneel down and kowtow.

Yang Tashan put down the coffin, and said to the girl, "I bought the graveyard and the shroud. Let's take your mother's body to the small river outside the city, wash it, and then bury her in the coffin." Opening the package, he took out the linen mourning gown from inside, Pass it to the girl.The girl took it and put it on, and tied it around her waist with a hemp rope.

Yang Tashan said to the fat shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you have a hoe and a shovel in your store? Borrow two, and then a pair of scissors and a hatchet. By the way, I can also borrow a gourd ladle."

The fat shopkeeper was a little hesitant: "Yes, yes...but..."

Yang Tashan took out fifty copper coins from his pocket, and handed it over: "This money is mortgaged to you. When we come back from our work, we will return the hoe and other things to you, and we will eat at your place. If you pay more, you will pay less. how?"

The fat shopkeeper repeatedly bowed and agreed, took the copper coins with a smirk, and ordered the staff to go in and take a hoe, a shovel, a pair of scissors, a hatchet and a gourd ladle and gave them to Yang Tashan.

Yang Tashan first wrapped the corpse with the straw mat and carefully put it into the coffin.Put the lid on the coffin.The girl was even more grateful when she saw that Yang Tashan did it himself, he didn't think it was dirty or smelly.

The fat shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, would you like to hire an ox cart to transport your birthday materials?"

"No need." Yang Tashan put the scissors into his arms, the hatchet had a knife span, and tied it directly to his waist, then grabbed the coffin with both hands, and shouted: "Get up!" He picked it up and carried it on his shoulders. Said to the girl: "You take a hoe, a shovel and a gourd ladle, let's go." After that, he strode out of the city.

The girl agreed, carrying a hoe, a shovel and a gourd ladle, crying all the way behind Yang Tashan.

People on the street saw Yang Tashan carrying a coffin, which looked very heavy, and smelled a strong corpse smell from a distance, followed by a frail girl in linen and filial piety, carrying a hoe and a shovel. It was very strange, they avoided one after another, and then pointed and discussed.

Yang Tashan didn't look sideways, didn't stop, and carried him out of the city in one breath.After walking for a few more miles, I came to the edge of the small river, and then I put it down, my head was already drenched in sweat.

Although his internal strength is already quite good, but after all, it is difficult to be a master. It takes a total of ten miles to walk from the city all the way to the outside of the city.

Yang Tashan carried the corpse out, put it by the small river, and washed the corpse with the girl.

The corpse was covered with white maggots, and it was already highly corrupted. If you touched it lightly, the skin and flesh would fall down like stewed braised pork, so you must be extra careful.And the stench was so bad that even pinching his nose with his hands couldn't stop the smell, even this girl couldn't stand it.But Yang Tashan acted like a normal person, he himself felt strange, could it be that he had done disobedience before and was already used to it?
Yang Tashan saw that the girl didn't know how to deal with such highly corrupted corpses, and almost fainted from the stench, so he asked her to go upwind and watch him deal with it.

The corpse is highly corrupted, and it is not easy to clean at all. The so-called cleaning means to wash away the visible maggots on the corpse, as well as sticking leaves, garbage, etc., and then put on the shroud.

Yang Tashan carefully cut open the clothes and pants of the deceased with scissors, then scooped up clear water with a gourd ladle, carefully washed away the maggots on the corpse until none of them could be seen, and wiped away the maggots attached to the corpse. Finally, the corpse was slowly poured several times with clean water, and then the shroud was put on the corpse, and it was picked up and put into the coffin.

After finishing all this, Yang Tashan breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly heard the cry of a girl beside him, turned around and saw that it was the girl who was crying softly.

It turned out that the girl saw that Yang Tashan took care of the corpse with such care, just like her own relatives, she was moved and couldn't help crying.

Yang Tashan thought she was crying for her mother, so he didn't dissuade her, he closed the coffin and nailed the coffin nails.He picked it up, said to go, took the girl, and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads according to the instructions of the cemetery document, and finally came to the cemetery.

After a short rest, Yang Tashan picked up his hoe and began to dig. Soon, a deep rectangular pit was dug.

Seeing that Yang Tashan was sweating profusely from exhaustion, the girl could do nothing but cry in gratitude.

Yang Tashan carefully put the coffin into the pit, and said to the girl: "Okay, you can bury it, this is your filial piety. I will also rest for a while."

The girl agreed, walked to the edge of the pit, looked at the coffin in the pit, called out: "Mother~!" and broke down in sobs.

Yang Tashan was almost exhausted, and it was very hot this day, sitting on the grass panting for breath, seeing the girl crying sadly, he didn't bother her, and let her cry.

After crying for a while, the girl stood up slowly, picked up the shovel, and shoveled soil into the pit while sobbing. When the soil almost covered the entire coffin, she couldn't bear to just bury her mother like this, and fell limply. Sitting on the mound, he burst into tears like a cuckoo weeping blood.

Yang Tashan raised his eyes to look at the sky, the sun had already set to the west, and if it was later, once the city gate was closed, he would not be able to enter.So he got up and walked over, took the shovel from the girl, swung it like the wind, a shovel of soil flew to the bottom of the pit, filled it up quickly, and began to build graves.

The girl knelt on the ground, looking helplessly at Yang Tashan's grave, and wept bitterly.

Soon, a new grave was piled up. Yang Tashan threw down the shovel, pulled out the hatchet, walked to a tree not far away, cut the tree with a few knives, cut it into a stake, and split it in the middle. , took half and walked back, put it in front of the grave, and drove the stake into the ground.

Afterwards, Yang Tashan turned around and walked to the girl, pulled her up, and without a word, untied her sackcloth filial piety a few times.

Tears filled the girl's eyes, her face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Grandfather, wait... wait until you go back and then... okay?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Yang Tashan was too tired to explain, so he took off her sackcloth filial piety hat, went back to the stake in front of the grave, and tied the sackcloth filial piety hat to the stake.After looking at everything, he inserted the hatchet, picked up the hoe and shovel, and said, "Let's go!" Without looking at the girl, he turned and walked down the mountain.

Only then did the girl realize that she had misunderstood, went to the grave, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said sadly: "Mother, my son is gone, and my son has met a kind person, so don't worry." She kowtowed three more times, Getting up and wiping away tears, he chased Yang Tashan away.

Yang Tashan didn't speak, and kept walking with his head depressed. The girl didn't speak, and followed closely behind him.

Yang Tashan didn't go back to the city directly, but came to the small river just now, walked up the small river, found a secluded place, then turned to the girl and said, "Go down the river and take a bath to wash away the bad luck." , and change clothes."

Then he untied the package on his back, took out the girl's clothes, obscene clothes and the wooden comb, and handed them to the girl.
