A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 37 Heading South

The Great Chu Dynasty had strict household registration management. Without the household registration paper, one would not be a good citizen and would be bought and sold at will.

“Xiaoyu reminded us that we should find the household registration papers first, and then bury everyone.” Third Grandpa called several adults, assigned men and women, and went to search the bodies of the villagers in Gujia Village.

“This is the household registration paper of Gu Ergou’s family.”

 “This is from Gu Dazhu’s family.”

 “This is from Uncle Eleven’s house.”

 “This is from Aunt Ninth’s house.”

In less than half an hour, they found 21 household registration papers among a hundred corpses.

Gu Dafu held these household registration papers, his hands shaking. There are only about fifty households in Gujia Village, but 21 household registration papers were found among the pile of corpses. Half of the people in their village were dead.

"Uncle San, our family is guilty." Gu Dafu, as the eldest son of Village Chief Gu, was taken by Village Chief Gu very early and taught him as the next village chief. He has always regarded himself as the future villager of Gujia Village. Chief, take the villagers as their own responsibility. But now, half of the people in Gujia Village died because of his father's words. He regretted and blamed himself, wishing that he was the one who died.

Third Grandpa looked at Gu Dafu and sighed: "Dafu, everyone has their own destiny. This disaster is in their lives. Stop blaming yourself and dig a hole to bury the big guy."

 Gu Dafu cried for a while and handed the household registration paper to the third grandmother: "Third Auntie, please divide the household registration papers, land deeds, money and other things we found out among each family."

If villagers come to find you, you can also give the things to them.

"Hey." The third grandma took the household registration paper, and together with the Chu family, the Cui family, and the Chen family, they divided these things into each family, then found some large dead leaves, and folded a few dead leaves on top of each other. Together, wrap the things one by one.

Grandpa San led a few men to start digging a hole. Mr. Qin and Sanlang Qin also came to help. Erlang Qin stood aside and watched without taking action. Seeing Mr. Qin and Sanlang Qin helping dig the hole, he snorted dissatisfiedly.

There were so many people dead in Gujia Village that the pit had to be dug very big. They dug from morning to late afternoon before digging a large pit ten meters wide and five meters deep.

After digging the pit, Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang spread the withered grass they found into the pit. Now that there was no coffin to bury the bodies, they could only spread the withered grass to prevent them from walking in a miserable way.

After laying withered grass into the pit, Father Luo and the others began to carry the corpses of the villagers into the pit one by one. There were hundreds of corpses, filling the pit which was five meters deep and ten meters wide.

Gu Jinli and the others covered the corpse with dead grass again. Mrs. Chen got goosebumps watching from the side: "Xiaoyu and Huiniang are becoming more and more courageous. They are not afraid when they see so many corpses."

The two sons in her family have been hiding in the distance since they saw the corpses of the villagers, not daring to get close at all. Brother Xing and Sister Mei are also the same. They are so scared that they have been hiding beside them, eight feet away from the corpses of the villagers. Far.

When the third grandma heard what Chen said, she glanced at her and said: "In this day and age, if you want to survive, you have to be like Xiaoyu and Huiniang. The more you are afraid, the more unlucky you will be. Those evil people will not let you go just because you are afraid." Pass you."

Ms. Chen trembled with fright when she heard Third Grandma mention those evil people, and complained: "Third Auntie, I just forgot about the evil done by those evil people, and you talk about them again, how can I sleep tonight?"

After hearing this, the third grandma said nothing more.

Third Grandpa and the others had already buried the villagers' corpses and set up a grave. Gu Dafu tore off a corner of his inner garment and tore the white corner into two strips of cloth, crossed them into a cross, and used them as grave paper, pressing them with a stone. On the tip of the grave.

Luo’s father dug out a dead tree and planted it next to the grave: “It can also be used as a shelter for the villagers.”

Gu Dashan was clever and used the wild grass found by Gu Jinli to roll into three relatively hard grass strips. He buried the grass strips in front of the grave, and then lit the grass strips with a fire stick to provide incense to the villagers. "Everyone, come here and give the villagers a ride." Grandpa San shouted, and everyone came to the grave, knelt down and kowtowed to the dead villagers.

Each time they kowtowed, Third Grandpa sang a funeral message. After three kowtows, Gu Jinli and the others stood up.

In addition to collecting the bodies of the murdered villagers, there are also many surviving victims at the foot of the mountain who came back to collect the bodies of their murdered relatives.

The entire foot of the mountain was echoing with the heart-rending cries of the victims.

There are also those who take advantage of the opportunity to make money from dead people. When Grandpa Third and others saw this, they just shook their heads and sighed, and would not meddle in other people's business.

 After collecting the corpses from the villagers, everyone did not leave. Instead, they sat by the graves and waited for villagers who might come back. However, they waited until dark and did not wait for a single surviving villager.

After helping bury the corpses of the villagers, Qin Sanlang went into the mountain and came back with a bunch of mountain rats.

Mr. Chen’s eyes flashed green when she saw the mountain rat in Qin Sanlang’s hand: “Oh, Brother Qin is so talented. We can still find so many mountain rats now.”

Although these mountain rats are thin, there are about ten of them. In this desolate season when 90% of the animals starve to death, it is quite a feat to find so many mountain rats.

"Brother Qin, thank you for your hard work. Leave this mountain rat to me. I'll clean it up and bake it for everyone." Mrs. Chen snatched the mountain rat from Qin Sanlang's hand and called to Gu Dagui and his two sons. Le Diandian He ran to the side to deal with the mountain rat.

When Qin Erlang saw this, he snorted dissatisfiedly and looked at Qin Sanlang with anger in his eyes: "You are the one who is stupid."

　　Not to mention saving a group of troubles, but now, two more selfish mud-legged families are here. He is just waiting to be sucked by this group of peasants who know nothing.

 Qin Sanlang smiled and did not refute.

The third grandfather felt embarrassed and hurriedly said to Mr. Qin: "Brother, don't blame me. The country people don't know the rules and they make you laugh."

Mr. Qin didn't care. He chuckled and said, "It's nothing. They're just a few mountain rats. Since we are destined to be together, we should take care of each other."

Gu Jinli looked at Mr. Qin. This old man seemed to be unexpectedly kind to strangers like them. When she thought of the identities of Mr. Qin and the other three, she had a guess in her mind. Maybe Mr. Qin was not helping them, but was helping them. Do yourself a favor.

The identities of Mr. Qin and the other two people should not be able to withstand investigation, so they want to blend in with the victims so that someone can prove their identities in the future.

This is Gu Jinli's guess, but she will not deliberately confirm anything. In this world, surviving is her first goal. As for who is gathering around her and what their identity is, she doesn't care, as long as they are not here to harm them. Just fine.

Chen moved quickly and quickly packed up more than a dozen mountain rats. He strung the mountain rats on the branches, lit a fire and roasted the mountain rats. After a short time, the mountain rats were roasted. He hurriedly took down two and stuffed them into two However, his son was taken away by Gu Dagui, who gave all the roasted mountain rats to the third grandfather.

Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Cui also took out some beans, added a little water, cooked them in a pot, and ate them among the family members.

After eating, several adults discussed the way to go in the future. Gu Jinli took the opportunity to take out the letter Qi Yi put in the cloth bag and handed it to the third grandfather: "Third grandfather, this is specially left for us by the eldest young master of the Qi family. The letter said, "It's more dangerous to go eastward, so try to go south."
