In the mourning hall, the smoke from the lit incense candles lingered everywhere, which was a bit choking...
How could Xiao Hongying, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon to keep vigil, sit still!
She was a little curious at first. Eighth Route Army soldiers were usually buried directly after their sacrifices. Many soldiers did not even have a wooden board erected on their graves after they died on the battlefield.
This was the first time she had encountered such a grand event. After sitting there for a while, she lost any interest. Instead, she felt that these people... all of them were mothers-in-law and had no future at all. If they died and were buried, it would be over.
What's more, those lying in the coffin were enemies killed by the Eighth Route Army!
The thief-faced woman stood up quietly and wanted to run into the yard. The second senior brother next to her stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Hongying slapped away the hand holding her arm: "It's very smokey in this room, go out and take a breath."
"Hey, I said you can't leave now. This is your godfather here, and his bones are still cold..."
"How long do you have to sit here?"
"Wait until your sister comes back or sit until dawn!"
Everyone in the mourning hall really thought that Xiao Hongying was Li Xiaolian's sister. Li Xiaolian led people to find bad luck in all directions. Of course Xiao Hongying, a "relative" of the master, had to stay and watch the funeral!
Besides, in the lifeless mourning hall, it doesn't seem so deserted if there is a little girl teasing and talking.
Xiao Hongying ignored the second senior brother and started running around in the mourning hall that was originally the main room.
The second senior brother was very skilled. After standing up, he grabbed the girl hiding beside the coffin in two or two times and deliberately lowered his voice to scare her: "Little girl, this is the mourning hall. Aren't you afraid?"
The little girl raised her head and looked around. Isn't it just a thin wooden coffin? The second senior brother grabbed her arm, raised her little foot and kicked the bottom of the coffin, making a muffled sound: "Didn't you say that the person lying here is Sister Xiaolian’s father is dead. What’s so scary?”
The second senior brother who was holding Xiao Hongying was angry: "You little girl, how dare you disrespect Master...be careful, I will break your legs!"
Xiao Hongying tilted her head and raised her eyes: "Hey, your master? Sister Xiaolian said, this is my godfather, what does it have to do with you if I say hello to him?"
The second senior brother couldn't help but froze on the spot, saying hello to the dead master?
That seems to be the case.
After the daring girl Jianzi finished speaking, she stuffed a piece of cake on the altar into her mouth. The second master even said in a stern tone: "I said... can't you just be more peaceful?"
"I'm hungry..."
"This is Master's mourning hall, can't you bear with it first?"
Xiao Hongying continued to be arrogant: "Sister Xiaolian said that this is my home and I can eat some of my father's food. Do you have any objections?"
"If you dare to take another one, I will really attack you!" The second senior brother raised his other hand as if to strike.
"Hey, hey, don't do anything, I won't eat it, right?"
"Then sit tight and don't run around..."
The few people sitting on futons in the room once again stared blankly.
It is said that gunshots rang out loudly in the first half of the night in the town. It was quiet at night and there was a mourning hall in the house, making the atmosphere a bit gloomy.
Didn't sit for long.
Xiao Hongying made trouble again: "I want to relieve myself!"
The second senior brother was speechless: "Yes, yes, I will ask someone to take you there."
Xiao Hongying was angry: "Auntie, you asked someone to take me away, but you asked someone to take me there? Is there a woman in this room?"
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid you can't find the way, so why don't you have someone give you a light to lead the way?"
"I said you are really long-winded. Don't I know how to go?"
The second senior brother didn't expect this girl to be so bold and difficult to deal with. She was completely different from the quail-like little girls he had seen in the movies before: "Get out of here... There are two latrines. The front yard is used by all the senior brothers. It stinks." Very, you go to the one in the backyard..."
"I said you said it in such detail, are you disgusting or not..." After Xiao Hongying finished speaking, she ran away.
After a while, the sound of Pigtail's footsteps walking around was heard in the backyard.
Hidden in the dark under the eaves among the clutter, a man in black on guard put his hands in his sleeves and watched boredly as the girl in the yard, wearing pigtails and a white mourning cloth, walked around the wall and into the corner of the house, wandering all the way around. She slipped in and out of the doorways of the backyards, and I couldn't help but admire her courage.
How dare an ordinary little girl run around in a courtyard with a mourning hall?
A gust of cold wind blew by. The man in black quickly wrapped his coat tightly and tightened the rope under the dog-skin hat. When he looked up again, he found that the little girl was gone.
He quickly turned around and looked around, but still couldn't see the girl. Thinking that there were senior brothers guarding everywhere around the yard, this girl might have gotten into Junior Sister Xiaolian's room to sleep. He didn't care and continued to lean on her. Napping in the dark.
Xiao Hongying put her little hands in her arms and hurriedly slipped out of the backyard along the wall and rushed to the woodshed next to the kitchen in the front yard. Hidden in the darkness where the moon could not shine, she approached the woodshed like a mouse.
Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from the pile of firewood at the door of the woodshed: "Stop, who are you? What are you doing here?"
Xiao Hongying was taken aback and replied smoothly: "Hey, it's me, sister Xiaolian's sister. I'm hungry, and I'm looking for something to eat..."
"Go, go, go... Why are you running to the woodshed to find food? What are you talking about... You are the junior sister's sister? Oh, it's really you..." Seeing Xiao Hongying deliberately walking out of the darkness and standing under the moonlight , when Li Xiaolian came back, this girl happened to meet her.
Xiao Hongying had already thought about what to say: "I want to get some firewood for the stove..."
"In the middle of the night...you want to cook?"
"Why...can't it?"
"Hehe, it really doesn't work. According to the rules of our sect, if you want to eat, you have to wait until dawn to pay homage to the ancestor and have breakfast together."
"I haven't had dinner yet..."
"Then let's get hungry first..."
"Uh... By the way, what are you doing here in the pile of firewood?" "Did you not find a place to sleep and are you going to spend the whole night in the pile of firewood?"
Heiying felt that being wordy with this girl would affect his IQ: "Get out of here quickly!"
Xiao Hongying pretended to be concerned: "How about I find you a quilt?"
"Do you think I look like someone who is afraid of the cold?"
"Then why do you have runny nose and bubbles..."
The young man in black was stunned for a moment: "Get out of here quickly..."
Xiao Hongying said confidently: "My sister is not here, now I make the decision here!"
The man in black was stunned for a moment. This new girl really took him seriously. He couldn't refute her for a moment: "Uh... Then I'll carry you a bundle of firewood to the kitchen."
"Well... let's not be busy now. I want to see the guy who killed my father."
"Ah?" The man in black was a little confused: "What do you see him doing?"
"Let me see if he's awake!"
"No, senior sister said, we need to keep a close eye on him."
"How do I know if you are lazy? What if he freezes to death?" The little girl completely regarded herself as Li Xiaolian's sister. Seeing that this person seemed to dare not do anything to her, she just followed the stick and started to attack this person. Start giving orders.
"Well... okay then." The man in black had no choice but to turn around and knock on the woodshed door: "Hey, open the door!"
So smooth?
It seems... Huidao Sect is just like that, it's still a copycat style of management...
These guys are so innocent...I don't know how they survived in this troubled world...
Holding the pistol in her arms tightly, Xiao Hongying was still a little nervous. Fortunately, she didn't go directly into the woodshed before. There was a person guarding not only the outside but also the inside of the woodshed.
People in the room yawned and muttered: "Why are you opening the door? Senior sister is back?"
It was a bit cold, but the man in black outside said patiently: "Senior sister hasn't come back yet... You should move more quickly, it's my junior sister..."
The people in the room may not be clear-headed yet, and are a little confused: "Little Junior Sister? Where did we get our Little Junior Sister?"
"Hurry up, senior sister will accept it."
The door opened with a creak. There was a stove burning in the room. The copper kettle on the stove was lifted aside by the person in the room. The dark red firelight immediately filled the large woodshed, and a smell of choking soot was Rush out the door.
The person in the room was loyal to his duties and had been guarding here, so he didn't know what was going on outside. He stuck his head out and asked curiously: "Where is the new little junior sister that the senior sister has taken in?"
The person outside explained: "Senior sister went to find bad luck on the Eighth Route Army, and a little girl rescued from the Eighth Route Army adopted her as her adopted sister. Let me tell you...even though she is young, she is very courageous..."
"Rescued from the Eight Route Army... This should be called unknown origin. You asked me to open the door... What are you going to do?"
"She said she wanted to see if the eight people in the house were dead!"
"What does this guy's death have to do with her..."
"I noticed why you are so wordy?"
"He's been unconscious until now. What's there to see..." The man blocked the door and didn't move away.
The person outside was nonchalant: "I said...you don't need to be so nervous, right? With the skills of our brothers, what's the difference between this place and the tiger's den? Just a girl like her, I guess I'd be curious to take a look at it. What kind of trouble can it cause?"
Xiao Hongying, who is following behind, is thinking with big eyes. If he takes out his gun now... without changing the magazine, he will beat you two into a sieve. Can you call this a dragon's pool and a tiger's den?
