Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 10 The wolf has more meat and less meat
The Chu family obviously didn't expect Xia Qinghe to be there, looked at Xia Qinghe in a daze, pointed at Xia Qinghe and said: "As expected, you were hidden by Xiao Chu, good luck for you girl, if you are snatched by those bandits, maybe It was sold into the Goulan Courtyard."

After hearing this, Xia Qinghe felt scared. She didn't know where the Goulan Courtyard was. If she was really sold into it, she might as well die.

She knew that she would stay in the village in the future, and building a good relationship with the people in the village was the most important thing, so she forced a smile and said, "Aunt Chu, what's the matter?"

The Chu family, who was still normal just now, had tears in his eyes in a blink of an eye, pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said sadly: "I am asking Xiao Chang to bring back the bones of his parents, let's go together I went to the mountain to bury it, and it was so dark that I didn’t know who was who. I discussed with the other two families and planned to bury them together. In the future, we will burn paper together when we go to the grave. What kind of crime is this? They are all honest peasants, but... they have encountered such a disaster."

Xia Qinghe has been very depressed these days, really depressed, she feels that the surroundings are full of death, after all, she is similar to Mrs. Han and Zhu Dachang, and her own life is also saved by Mrs. Han. In the end, she died. I still should help An to bury her, so I took Zhu Xiaochang and followed the Chu family to the village.

The Chu family was very curious about Xia Qinghe, and looked at Xia Qinghe from time to time, which made Xia Qinghe a little embarrassed.

"I'll call you Qinghe, you really promised to be a wife to a fool like Zhu Xiaochang." She was actually a little envious, and she was jealous of Mrs. Han before, and Xia Qinghe was also more pleasing to her eyes. She is polite and looks like she is well-bred. Wouldn't it be great for such a girl to be her son's daughter-in-law.

Although Zhu Xiaochang was a bit silly, it didn't mean he didn't understand. He puffed up his cheeks and said unconvincedly: "Qing He is my daughter-in-law. My mother said Qing He is my little daughter-in-law."

Xia Qinghe was taken aback by Zhu Xiaochang, sometimes Zhu Xiaochang didn't play cards according to common sense!The head is also momentarily confused and momentarily sober.

She still knows Chu's Xiaojiujiu. Before, Mrs. Han laughed at Chu for his daughter-in-law. Presumably Chu also wants to find a wife for her son!

But the village is so poor that it is impossible for girls from outside to marry in. Now that Mrs. Han and Zhu Dachang are both dead, only she and the somewhat stupid Zhu Xiaochang are left.

It is necessary to be on guard early, she smiled slightly and said: "The Zhu family has saved my life, and the marriage is also the fate of my parents. If I fall into the water, my parents will definitely find them, so I didn't think about these things. Yes, but I plan to stay and take care of Zhu Xiaochang until my parents come to find me."

She saw that Zhu Xiaochang's face was a bit ignorant of the world, at least he would not be heartbroken because of the things in front of him, and everything would pass.

Because the bandits also burned many houses along the way when they robbed things. Although the fire was extinguished at that time, it still caused a lot of impact. Most of the houses in the village were damaged. Now that the bandits are gone, life must continue. Many people are repairing houses.

The house of the Chu family has not yet been repaired, and she saw black blood stains on the place where the Chu family fell down, and there were crying sounds in many houses, and the girls who were snatched away are all adults' favorite treasures, Even if he is patriarchal, he was born by himself.

The village is actually not big, and Xia Qinghe counted only a dozen or so households, most of which were mud-walled thatched houses, and the only one in better condition was only built with half-green tiles, which was the best she had ever seen. House of.

A circle of people surrounded the village, and five corpses were wrapped in mats on the ground. Two women were lying on the side crying, and Mrs. Chu was also crying while wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

As soon as Xia Qinghe appeared, everyone looked at her, especially the men she could feel the heat in those eyes, well, she knew that there were always more men than women in the village, and everyone in the village was thinking about what to do Even if she married off her daughter, she didn't want to stay in the village. In the past, there were still a few girls, but now they are gone. She looked around and guessed that she was the only girl who was twelve or thirteen years old. , and the rest were snatched away.

There are many young men in the village, and most of those who looked at her with fiery eyes were between the ages of thirteen and fourteen to their twenties. She had the illusion that she was like meat on a chopping board.

Zhu Xiaochang looked at the corpse on the ground in a daze, not liking or sad.

Chu pushed Zhu Xiaochang and asked: "What do you mean? Now you are the only one left in your family, and you have to come to your parents' funeral."

Zhu Xiaochang looked at Mrs. Chu in a daze, smiled foolishly, turned around and ran away to play.

The Chu family let out a long sigh, feeling very helpless.

Xia Qinghe had already decided to handle this matter, and interjected: "Leave Aunt Chu's matter to me, and tell me what to do."

The Chu family sighed and sympathized with Zhu Xiaochang. She was always stupid. Although she often used this to make fun of Mrs. Han, it was after all a grievance between adults. Now that Mrs. Han is dead, dust returns to ashes, and all grievances and grievances will be dissipated with the wind.

She glanced at Xia Qinghe's thin body and shook her head: "You just need to follow behind. I'll ask the villagers to help dig the hole. Hey... we can't even afford a coffin."

The village was already very poor, but this time the bandits looted everything they could, making the already poor village even worse.

Da Huzi gave her a strange look, then he and another boy from the village tied up the three mats that wrapped the corpses and carried them directly up the mountain.

Xia Qinghe followed behind, and with a roar, Zhu Xiaochang followed, not to mention, the silly boy followed behind Xia Qinghe obediently.

This piece of land is on the east side of the village. There are many tombstones and graves. It seems that this is the place where the villagers buried their ancestors.

A big pit was dug directly, the corpses wrapped in the mat were placed side by side, the other two also brought the corpses, Xia Qinghe also filled the pit with a shovel, paper money was flying, the grave was piled up, waiting Xia Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when everything was done.

Hearing other people's cries, Xia Qinghe only felt sorry, Dahuzi approached Xia Qinghe, scratched his head shyly and said: "I live at the foot of your house, if you need help, just call. "

Standing at Zhu's house and shouting at Da Huzi's house, he could indeed hear it.

Sensing Da Huzi's kindness, Xia Qinghe smiled gratefully, and Da Huzi, who was already shy, blushed suddenly.
