Chapter 348 Sacrifice to the Ancestors
348
Waiting for the little bone to stop the words, Xue Yueer breathed, wiped away the wet tears in front of her eyes, and said softly, "Husband, I thought Xiaomi's family's life was hard enough, but I didn't expect your life to be more miserable! I will love you well in the future and won't let you suffer so much again!"
Xiaoguding smiled and said, "Madam, those hard days have become a thing of the past, and there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Xue Yueer suddenly asked, "Husband, your mother is still a daughter, which big family is it?" Shall we visit him?
Little bone Ding has not seen his parents since he was a child. Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became blurred and he shook his head and said, "Grandpa didn't say it!"
Xue Yueer wiped away his tears with heartache and said to herself, "My husband, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned this!"
Xiaoguding was speechless, and his mood became a little depressed.
Xue Yueer was anxious and shook her little bone and said, "Father, even if you say a few words, don't say anything!"
At this time, they had already walked to the city of Yexin Town. Xue Yueer's action immediately attracted the attention of passers-by and pointed them out to them.
Xue Yueer was furious and shouted, "What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
Both of them are people in the world with gorgeous clothes and swords. Xue Yueer's angry shout suddenly scared a group of timid people away. The bold ones also shut up and didn't want to cause a reckless disaster.
Yexin Town was too small. The two returned to Yexianglai Restaurant in a moment, put on a poncho, rode a horse, and quickly ran to the north of the town.
Over the two small towns and villages that I can't remember, the little bone stopped in a small shop, bought a pile of paper money and incense candles, and wrapped them tightly in several large oily paper.
When Xue Yueer ordered to buy more paper horses, paper houses and other big things, the little bone Ding stared coldly, and she was silent for a moment.
Then sitting on the horse's back, I thought of ordering paper horses and burning paper buildings on rainy days, unless a greenhouse is first to cover the rain, on the premise that paper horses and paper buildings must be sent to the mountain without damage!
Xue Yueer once again found that she did it when she thought of it for many times. This impatientness was just like that she secretly came out with Xiaoguding.
Xiao Guding is now running fast on the horse and riding on the horse without saying anything. Xue Yueer dares not talk nonsense anymore. She silently accompanies him and looks at his thin body. She always has a feeling of uncertainty in her heart.
Immersive, she will always forget what others have said to her. The tighter she grabs the sand, not only can't hold it firmly, but leaks faster. Although her little bone is unlikely to be missed, she always has a worry that it is about to be missed.
Gradually walked to the narrow mountain forest, with the small bones in front and the snow moon behind. The two horses splashed water on the path. The two bodies rubbed against the horses with the branches on both sides, and the rain on them shook all over the ground.
Before long, the two rode directly to a small hill and stopped in front of a lonely grave.
This hill is only a few miles away from the town under the mountain. Think about it. At the beginning, Xiaoguding was just a thin and beautiful boy. How far could he drag his grandfather?
The tombstone in front of the grave was dumped, and weeds were overgrown. Several dwarf trees grew up, which was indescribably desolate. If you don't look carefully, you can't see that this is a cemetery.
When I left last year, the tombstone was erected again. I don't know which damn guy knocked it down again. Perhaps, this time it was really knocked down by ignorant livestock.
Little bone went to the grave, turned over and dislod his horse, drew his sword and cut the grass.
Xue Yueer said in disbelief, "Is this Grandpa's cemetery?"
The drizzle is continuous, the wind is blowing, the lonely grave is cold and clear, and the little bones continue to cut down the grass and trees, silently. Xue Yueer felt like a dense dark cloud in the sky, which was depressing and uncomfortable. She quickly helped sort out the grass branches next to her.
Cut off the weeds in front of the tomb, and the small bones dug out a deeper mud pit with their bare hands, moved the tombstone and erected it, and patted it with the palm of his hand.
Fortunately, Xiaoguding has been practicing iron sand for more than two months. These soft soils are not a big problem for him. Xue Yueer dares not persuade him or can't persuade him.
When Xue Yueer drew a knife and quickly cut out a large area of flat grass, dragging the weeds aside, and the small bone Ding also cleaned the moss mud on the tombstone, showing the engraving that had not been carved.
When he buried his grandfather, he didn't have enough silver, and he didn't invite anyone to help his grandfather set up a monument. This monument is still carved by Xiaogu Ding in Yexianglai Restaurant, which has been accumulated in the past six months. Originally, it didn't cost so much. Xiaoguding had to hire someone to carve and transport it from the neighboring town. The cost of this long-distance transportation is much more than that built in this town.
Touching the tombstone, thinking about the hardships I have experienced in the past, now I am an angry horse in gorgeous clothes, with no worries about gold and silver, piles of jewelry, and I can't help but cry.
Xue Yueer cut off the grass branches, silently dipped the grass branches in water, helped wash the mud on the tombstone, and shouldered the strong sadness together with the little bone.
Unlike the painful memories of Xiaoguding, Xue Yueer keeps praying that her grandfather will be less bullied by the little ghosts in the underworld, accumulate more yin virtues, be reincarnated as soon as possible, and bless Xiaogu Ding in his life from now on.
Xue Yueer washed the tombstone. Seeing that Xiaoguding was still touching the tombstone in a daze, looking at the continuous drizzle, she didn't know how to burn incense and money.
Helpless, Xue Yueer had to gently persuade him, "My husband, it's time to burn money for Grandpa earlier, otherwise he will suffer there!"
The little bone answered, woke up, drew his sword and cut it quickly, and built a semi-circular scaffolding with branches. It is only two feet high, about two and a half feet long and about one foot wide.
Fill the frame, quickly cover it with the oil paper brought, fix it with ropes, and make a simple shed.
Next to Xue Yueer has taken out the large number of paper money incense candles. Xiao Guding knelt in the wet mud, and Xue Yueer knelt down together.
The small bone took the incense candle, knocked on the flint to light it, inserted the incense candle in front of the grave, and slowly burned paper money. In the white fog, a faint green smoke suddenly rose obliquely, and a gust of wind blew and immediately dissipated.
While burning paper money, the little bone muttered, "Grandpa, the unfilial grandson brought his granddaughter-in-law to see you!"
A touch of joy flashed in Xue Yueer's sadness. With Xiaoguding's words, she can rest assured that she will no longer feel uneasy because Xiaoguding has not paid attention to her all the way.
The residents of the town under the mountain were trapped in their houses and bored. Looking at the smoke floating in the mountain, they couldn't help but be suspicious and speculated about what was going on.
