There are a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, echoing the white sheep on the ground, and they are particularly conspicuous in the field of vision.
The scenery in the countryside is so charming.
Qi Yu first found a small restaurant, put down the Feng Shui master, and then rushed to his hometown alone.
Let’s go to my sister’s house first.
That's the village in front of me. I haven't contacted him for a long time, and I don't know how my brother-in-law's bone injury is getting better.
Have you ever had any difficulties at home?
finally reached.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a look of surprise on her sister's face.
"Amao, are you back?"
"Sister, you lost money again..."
"Sit down in the room quickly!"
Upon hearing the sound, my niece Sun Qiaoyun ran over and shouted: "Uncle, have you brought me something delicious?"
I just know how to eat, haha~~
Qi Yu deliberately made a face and pretended to have forgotten: "Oh, uncle, you forgot!"
"Alas~~~"
Just when his niece looked disappointed and her tears began to roll, Qi Yu hurriedly pulled off the baggage on his back, took out some snacks, and said with a smile: "Haha, how could uncle forget this? He is thinking about Xiao Qiaoyun every day!"
The little guy took the snack and immediately burst into tears...
Sun Dacai also walked out of the back room after hearing the sound, his injuries basically healed. He just wanted to say hello, but when he thought about it carefully, he became a little nervous and thought to himself: He still owes his brother-in-law five taels of silver. It is almost the end of the year. Is he here to ask for a debt?
So, he hurriedly put on a poor face like Yang Bailao, and said with a flat mouth: "Ah Mao, I really don't have any money on hand!"
money? what money?
Qi Yu was startled, and after thinking about it for a moment, he came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you are worrying too much, I am not here to ask for debt."
"Oh... that's good." Sun Dacai grinned and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few pleasantries, Qi Lan made tea.
After sitting down, Qi Yu talked about the addition of a baby to the family, especially the interesting story about Qi Xiao's liking to drink goat's milk. He talked about it with great joy, his face full of happiness.
Qi Lan was also very happy when she heard this, and sighed with emotion: The Qi family finally has a child.
Sun Dacai smiled awkwardly, his face full of envy. He had an only daughter in his family. Now he was almost vomiting bile in anticipation of his son, but Qi Lan's stomach just didn't move. Damn it!
Then, Qi Yu introduced the matter of settling in Fucheng and the plan to move the grave this time.
It was a great joy to settle down, and Qi Lan was also very happy. When he heard that the grave was being moved, he frowned. She has never had an idea. How could she explain such a big thing?
But Sun Dacai was thinking in another dimension: Well, Ah Mao is gorgeously dressed and seems to be doing well, but he didn't expect that he has settled down in Fucheng. The houses in Fucheng are so expensive. If you don’t have forty taels of silver, you will definitely not come here! Alas, my brother-in-law is so prosperous!
Before, I thought that reading was useless, but now it seems that this sentence is wrong.
After several people drank tea for a while, Qi Lan started cooking.
Lunch was very sumptuous, with several hard dishes.
This was a generous decision made by Sun Dacai after he estimated the value of his brother-in-law's gift with his fingers. Generally speaking, he did not suffer a loss.
When I was halfway through the meal, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard.
Qi Lan went out to inquire and quickly ran back and forth. She walked into the house with a panicked look on her face and said in a trembling voice: "The person here is here to report the funeral."
give obituary notice?
"Oh, which relative is old?" Qi Yu just asked casually, thinking it was an old relative on his brother-in-law's side.
Suddenly, Qi Lan's eyes became moist and she cried, "It's our second uncle... who's gone!"
What!
There was a buzz in Qi Yu's mind, and then everything went blank, and he was trembling nervously.
I definitely heard it wrong!
However, Qi Lan said it again, and it was indeed correct.
This is real?
No, my second uncle has always been in good health and never suffered from illness or disaster. How could he just disappear?
Also, how did he age?
Qi Lan said that the person who reported the funeral did not elaborate, so he was not sure about the details.
Walk!
Go right over.
So Sun Dacai hurriedly found a carriage, took care of the children at home, and asked Qi Lan and Qi Yu to go to the funeral together.
As soon as the whip sounded, Juechen left.
Qi Lan cried in mourning along the way, until her voice became hoarse with emotion.
Qi Yu also lamented and kept shaking his head.
According to custom, when the uncle gets old, the nephews and nieces have to go and burn the tissue paper, which means paying some money for the souls of their relatives on the way to the underworld.
So when he arrived at the county town, Qi Yu went straight to the shop selling funeral supplies. When he got there, he bought a lot of them without asking the price.
When I arrived at my second uncle's house, I saw that there was white paper posted on the door and white flowers were hung on both sides of the gatehouse.
Qi Yu jumped off the carriage and strode inside.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the coffin parked in the middle of the mourning hall.
Yes, the second uncle is lying there.
Looking back on the past, the past events are vivid in my mind.
Without his care, he would not be able to marry a wife; without his help, he would not be able to survive in life.
He was worried about his county examination and his future.
He came when there was a locust plague and we were short of food. He came when we were bullied by our tribe. But now that I am here, he is no longer here.
The second uncle was a bandit, so he never called himself a gentleman, and he also liked to bully others. He was just such an ordinary little person. However, he opened his arms as much as he could to protect his loved ones from harm...
Especially on the day he arrested Qi Qiuchuan, he had an evil smile on his face, and the sense of success brought by being able to vent his anger on his nephew was clearly visible on his face...
"uncle!……"
Qi Yu was in grief and could no longer control his emotions. He knelt on the ground with a thud and tears burst out of his eyes...
Qi Lan also knelt behind, crying and kowtowing.
…
According to traditional etiquette, when someone came to express condolences, Zhou Chunsheng had to kneel down and express his gratitude. Seeing that his cousin was so sad that he couldn't help himself, Zhou Chunsheng hurriedly came over to help him up.
After calming down, Qi Yu threw the paper money into the funeral basin with trembling hands. He burned it while talking about the past.
"Uncle, when I was little, I loved riding on your neck the most, and you also loved being ridden by me..."
"Whenever I feel scared, you always say, don't be afraid, my uncle is here!..."
"..."
Zhou Dazhuang, his eldest aunt Lu and his second aunt Cao were all moved and burst into tears when they heard this.
"Amao, your second uncle is gone. No matter how sad you are, it won't help. Please give me your condolences... Come to the back room, there is something I want to say to you."
"Um……"
Uncle Zhou looked solemn and seemed to be much older.
In the room, the nephew and uncle sat down.
"Uncle, my second uncle has always been in good health. Why did he leave so quickly?"
"well……"
Zhou Dashui let out a long sigh and spoke of the reason in a slightly hoarse voice...
It turned out that Zhou Dashui did not die of illness or sudden death, but died of incurable injuries.
His injury came from an accident, a misfortune caused by the Emperor Worship Cult.
It was previously known that when the Emperor Worship Cult began to cause chaos, the government troops were already in place, and then the so-called purge began. As a result, the Emperor Worship Cult was defeated, and the remnants fled southward along the road.
After Mr. Tongzhi died in the line of duty, there was a big vacancy in the government office. Therefore, the governor personally made a recommendation and recommended Yu Hai as the acting prefect of Yongchuan Prefecture. complex.
Yu Hai was instrumental in providing disaster relief during the locust plague and had outstanding political achievements, so the governor would promote him at his discretion, and the official department would basically approve him.
For Mr. Yu, this was a rare promotion opportunity, and he naturally did not dare to delay it. After receiving the transfer order, he hurriedly took his capable old subordinates with him to Fucheng, and Zhou Dashui was one of them.
As soon as he walked out of the city gate, Zhou Dashui suddenly remembered that his nephew-in-law's delivery date was coming soon. As a biological uncle, it would be too shameful for him to go there without bringing some congratulatory gifts.
So, he informed Master Yu, returned home to bring some supplements, and then chased after him.
It didn't take much time to go back and forth, so Yu Hai agreed without thinking.
After separation, Mr. Yu successfully arrived in Fucheng under the protection of a group of government officials.
After turning back, Zhou Dashui went forward alone and chased away. It went smoothly at the beginning, but something unexpected happened when he was approaching Fucheng, and he happened to encounter the fleeing bandits of the Emperor Worship Cult.
Because he was wearing official official clothes, he immediately became a target of gangsters.
Zhou Dashui had been a bandit, had seen the world and knew his methods. He escaped with his wit. But in his haste, he was unfortunately hit on the head by a hammer.
He gritted his teeth and continued to run for his life, patting his horse and riding away.
According to what he said during his lifetime, he relied on his will to get home, and then he began to fall into a coma.
A few days ago, after treatment and care, his condition seemed to have improved. Unexpectedly, today it suddenly worsened and he passed away.
The uncle said that actually before the Emperor Worship Cult started causing trouble, the two brothers had discussed going to Fucheng to warm up the pot at their nephew's new house. So he mentioned it when sending Qi Qiuchuan's case. Qi Yu knew about this matter, but he just ignored it.
Just when Zhou Dashui's condition improved, Zhou Dazhuang wrote a letter to his nephew and asked him to take time to come back and see him. Other things were not mentioned to avoid worrying my nephew.
When Qi Yu read the letter, he didn't expect that the situation would be so serious, otherwise he would have rushed over.
No matter what, I still didn’t get to see my uncle for the last time!
Who would have thought that the second uncle would be attacked outside Fucheng?
I remember that Meng Lanshan reminded himself before that he should not go out of the city, or stay at home to study, but it was a pity that he ignored it and failed to tell his uncle.
Apart from regret, all that is left is anger!
These are all sins committed by the Emperor Worship Cult!
They beat my brother-in-law, burned my ancestral home, and caused my wife to give birth prematurely and be infertile!
Huh, not only did they kill Xiaotong's biological parents, but now they also killed their own uncle. These are all human lives!
It's a pity that I am in a low-key position and have no ability. If one day I gain power, I will definitely find a way to avenge this hatred!
