At that time, she was crying and brought her brother out, trying to collect the bodies of her parents and sister, but they were too weak to move them.
After that, I had to dress my mother and sister, put them together with my father's body, and cover them with a broken straw mat on the bed.
Afterwards, they closed the house door and the courtyard door, and moved a set of bedding and water down.
There was still some food in the cellar, but not much. Since they couldn't make a fire, they had been chewing it raw.
The food left outside was just recovered this year, and it was all snatched away by the bad guys who broke in, so it is not easy to hold on until now.
They cried today because they had completely finished eating the food and even had no water.
The water had to be fetched from the well at the entrance of the village, but they didn't dare to go there at all. Later, the two siblings discussed it and decided to go to the house next door to see if there was still water in the water tank or if there was still water in the house. No food.
As soon as he came out, he happened to bump into Qingyan who was coming over.
Although Qingyan was wearing a very strange raincoat and covered her face with rags, her expression and voice clearly suggested that she was a woman. In addition, she was a little thin and not very strong, and her exposed eyes were also very peaceful. Children are a little bit... Intuitively, I felt that this sister was not a bad person, so I felt relieved.
Now that they heard that Qingyan was going to take them with them, the two of them felt happy, especially the girl. She was not young anymore and knew that if she was the only one taking her brother with her, they might not be able to survive even if they left.
But if they meet kind-hearted people who are willing to take them in and follow them, it will be much safer.
The five or six-year-old brother also knew something and knew that this was the best for their siblings. The two nodded quickly.
After nodding, the little girl said awkwardly: "Sister...can...can you ask sister...to help us bury our parents and sister? Well, if that doesn't work...it doesn't matter, we..."
With tears in her eyes, she couldn't say any more. It was already a huge kindness for them to take them in, but asking them to help bury their family members was really too much.
Although they did not dare to go into the house to see the bodies of their parents and sister, they could smell the stench in the yard and knew that they must have rotted.
Qingyan was a little hesitant. She really didn't dare to touch the highly decomposed corpse. It was indeed a bit scary and disgusting, and she was also afraid that there would be corpse poison on it.
But this was ancient times. If she wanted to directly cremate someone else's body in the house, she really couldn't say it. After all, in ancient times, it was important to put people in their graves. If she had to spread the ashes of someone else's bones, both siblings would probably hate it. Fuck him.
I could only say tactfully: "You see, the reason why I dress so tightly is because I am afraid that there are highly decomposed corpses. Those corpses will produce some plague viruses and cannot be touched directly."
The two siblings were frightened when they heard this.
Qingyan then added: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really don't dare to touch them. If your parents died in your own home, it wouldn't be considered an exposure of the bodies in the wilderness. If you are willing, you can come back and help your parents collect their remains."
She thought that in a few years, when the corpse turned into bones, there would be no viruses left.
As for whether it would work, she couldn't tell, but she really couldn't let herself and everyone in Yang Jiaping take this risk.
The two siblings thought for a while and nodded towards Qingyan.
"Okay, let's listen to my sister, then let's go down to the cellar to pack the bedding."
Qingyan walked over to help. When she saw that the cellar entrance was as big as a basin, it was blocked by a straw bale. It was really difficult for them to take the bedding down.
After a while, Qingyan looked at a roll of rags wrapped in wheat straw in her hand, and once again felt that these people survived the winter, how tenacious they were.
Carrying the "quilt" and leading the two siblings out of the courtyard, the two looked back at the house with nostalgia before preparing to leave with Qingyan.
They also dare not go to other courtyards. What if there is no virus here but there is in other courtyards?
And according to what the siblings said, all the food had been looted. What were they going in for? What's more, even if there is food, they don't dare to eat it.
Qingyan stood outside the door and thought for a while, then asked her sister and brother, "Is there a well over there at the entrance of the village?"
The two siblings nodded, and Qingyan entered the yard again, carrying down the earthenware pot on an earthen stove leaning against the earthen wall, as well as the wooden barrel next to it.
Said: "Let's go to the well first. We will get some water for you to take a bath, and then we will help you change your clothes before going back."
The clothes on these two children were dirty enough, and they had been in contact with corpses before, so it was better to disinfect them to avoid doing bad things with good intentions.
