Li Baolu stared blankly at Fu Dalang. In her limited memory, her mother was cheerful, generous, virtuous, kind, and very capable.

   Even if she is a fool, she always teases her with a smile every day, and perseveres in teaching her how to speak and walk.

   She has no memory of falling asleep, but every time she wakes up she sees her smiling face. She never knew she had such an experience.

  Fu Dalang looked at her a little nervously, then clenched his fists and said, "I know I'm your enemy..."

   "How can you be my enemy?" Li Baolu said blankly: "You are my relative."

  Fu Dalang opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer this sentence.

  Li Baolu had already turned around and said, "When the water is ready, make tea. My proposal will not change. If you want, just follow me."

When Li Baolu walked up to Gu Jingyun, several old people who had lowered their voices were saying: "...Fu Xingnian's brother and sister's love, secretly released his sister, and sent her to Wucun over his parents, and settled on the Li family. The marriage, otherwise not sure what to do. Although it is said that there is no need to worry about eating and drinking outside, but life in that kind of place is not as good as death, and how much better than the village of sin? It’s a pity, their sister and brother are not blessed, and they all died at a young age. in the sea."

   The sunlight in front of them was suddenly blocked. They looked up and immediately got up and said with a smile: "This is Xiu Niang's daughter, she looks so beautiful, just like your mother."

  Li Baolu nodded slightly to them. She didn't like them. This came from an intuition, and she always believed in intuition.

   So she turned her head directly and said to Gu Jingyun, "It's getting late, let's go back after seeing my cousin."

  The onlookers silently looked up at the big sun hanging in the sky...

  Gu Jingyun smiled and nodded, "Okay."

  Everyone: . . . The ability to open your eyes and talk nonsense.

  Zhang Yiyan immediately came up and pulled everyone over and said, "According to what you said, Uncle Fu and Mrs. Fu have a very good relationship? I heard that they can do a good job."

   While talking, he quietly pulled people out. The old people were very reluctant to go out, and the people watching outside the fence were even more reluctant to leave. They also wanted to see what good things this girl from the Li family was going to leave for Fu Dalang.

   But it was Zhang Yiyan who pulled them, and the linen at home had to be sold to him. No one dared to offend the God of Wealth. Everyone could only reluctantly leave and turn back three times.

  The dilapidated yard of Fu's house became quiet. Fu Dalang brought out two bowls of water and sprinkled a handful of green leaves in it.

  Li Baolu stared at the leaf, it didn't look like tea leaves, but like leaves.

  Fu Dalang's face turned red again, and he said loudly, "These are the tender leaves of the bitter tree, which can cool down and detoxify..."

He doesn't have things like tea leaves, so he can only go to the back of the house and grab a handful of bitter leaves. Anyway, he often eats this thing in summer. If he is hungry, he can make vegetable steamed buns to fill his stomach, although it is a bit bitter... …

  Li Baolu watched silently for a while, and finally took a sip from the bowl. The bitter taste instantly swept her tongue and taste buds. She swallowed the bitter water silently, put down the bowl without changing her face, and said, "Have you thought about it?"

Fu Dalang nodded, clenching his palm nervously and said: "I, I want to come out of Qiongzhou, in fact, don't look at me thin, I have a lot of strength, and although I can't fish, but I am a good farmer, our family's In recent years, the yield per mu of land has been higher than that of others.”

  Li Baolu heard the words, thinking about his whereabouts in her heart, and asked, "Then do you want to go back to your hometown or another place?"

   "We've been out for four generations, and it's useless to go back. I'll go wherever you want me to go."

"Then don't go back. You and I will go back to the capital first, and I will arrange for you." Li Baolu asked silently, "Would you like to move the tombs of the ancestors back? And your mother, Don't take her back?"

   Although Aunt Fu remarried, she was still married in Sin Village. If Fu Dalang was willing to accept her again, she could move out of Sin Village with him, and mother obeyed her son. This was in line with the law of the court.

  Fu Dalang shook his head, "No, she passed away five years ago, and she has no children. But I will move her out together."

When his mother left, he was already sensible. At that time, he chased her after her, and she chased him home again and again. No matter how she begged her, she was unwilling to leave her. In the first two years, he resented her because life was really bad. It was too hard. If the rij hadn't surreptitiously reduced or exempted his taxes, he would have become a pile of bones long ago.

   But then he grew up and knew more, so he didn't hate him so much. If she didn't leave at that time, he would definitely not live long with him.

  Because the county magistrate levied a lot of taxes at that time, he had a mother, and the governor would not notice them, let alone reduce or exempt taxes. Their mother and son's annual harvests add up, I'm afraid they can't even pay the taxes, let alone eat them.

  The tree moved the dead and moved the living, her mother left, and she lived; leaving him alone, the chief also noticed him as an orphan, so he also lived under the care of him.

   "Our family chose the third day of junior high school to bury the grave. When do you want to choose?"

   "I don't need to choose, just the second year of junior high," Fu Dalang said with a blushing face: "But me, I can't afford a bone altar."

"And me," Li Baolu handed him a purse, and said, "It's thirty today, you only have one and a half days to prepare. I still have a carriage there. I'll let Nanfeng drive to you. If you want to buy anything, let him take you there. If you don't understand, you can ask Zhang Yiyan. You have to discuss it with your aunt, right?"

  Fu Dalang silently took the purse and nodded.

   He didn't care about the so-called good days, and Li Baolu didn't care anymore. He turned around and told Nanfeng, "Come and see Uncle Biao."

  Nanfeng immediately knelt on the ground, "Uncle Biao!"

  Fu Dalang was taken aback and jumped away quickly, "Don't, don't be like this."

   When he went out to see Zhang Yiyan, he remembered something he had been ignoring, "Cousin, how do you know Zhang Yiyan?"

The villagers of   Three villages also pricked up their ears to listen. Li Baolu smiled and said, "Of course I know Zhang Yiyan. We grew up together, and he still has my share of the business now."

how can that be?

  Who doesn't know that Zhang Yiyan's business is a partnership between him and Gu Gongzi? And that Mr. Gu is a good citizen. It is said that he was awarded the first prize in the exam and rehabilitated Zhaoxue for his uncle...

  Everyone thought of this for a while, and looked at Gu Jingyun with wide eyes. Could this one be that Mr. Gu?

  Li Baolu was satisfied when he saw this, and finally did not worry that Fu Dalang would be dismembered after they left.

It's normal for people in Sin Village to bully the weak, be afraid of the tough, and fight ruthlessly. Although those people's eyes have been restrained enough, she sees all the contempt, malice, and covetousness of Fu Dalang in her eyes. It's not hard to imagine what he has done before such a day.

   Unless you bring people to Wucun, you will only be shocked.

So Li Baolu could only borrow Gu Jingyun's identity, she smiled slightly at Gu Jingyun, followed him into the carriage, and looked at the people outside who instantly settled down: "I didn't expect you to be better than the li long in Sin Village now. ."

   Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "It will be better in the future."

   "Master, ma'am, won't Master Zhang come with us?"

  Gu Jingyun glanced at Zhang Yiyan who was surrounded by the middle, then glanced at Fu Dalang standing alone at the door of the thatched cottage, and said, "Don't wait for him, he is staying at Fu's house tonight."

   The voice was neither loud nor low, just in time for Zhang Yiyan, who was waiting outside the car, to hear it. Zhang Yiyan's body froze, and he could only stretch out his hand to say goodbye to them bitterly, "Young master and madam, please walk slowly, we will meet in the second day of the first year."

  Li Baolu pursed her lips and smiled, and waved to him: "Brother Zhang, don't cry, I'll ask Nanfeng to help you in a while."

  Nanfeng drove away.

Zhang Yiyan watched them leave with reluctance, and didn't forget to deal with the person who was pulling him next to him, "Yes, that's Mr. Gu, the big owner of our Yipinfang, oh, you ask Mrs. Gu? She is the child bride, not another marriage. …”

With Nanfeng's carriage and Zhang Yiyan's connections, although Fu Dalang was timid and a little stupid, he still bought all the things he needed to raise the grave in one day. Livestock worship.

Before raising the grave, he had to sacrifice to his ancestors. This is the best sacrifice he has prepared since he was sensible. When he was a child, he didn’t know how to sacrifice his ancestors at all. Later, he learned that everyone offered sacrifices during the Chinese New Year and Qingming, but what he can give The best things are just the fish and all kinds of seafood picked up on the beach.

   This is the first time he has prepared chicken and pork for his ancestors.

   When he prepared the offerings, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun also arrived. Of course, they only came to watch the ceremony as relatives, but Fu Dalang completed the required ceremony himself.

  Excluding Aunt Fu, there are five graves in the Fu family. After the sacrifice, the villagers who came to help open the graves with shovels. The coffins inside have long since decayed, and there are only human bones among the rotten wood.

  Everyone covered the tomb with an oil cloth to block the sunlight, while Fu Dalang got in and picked up the bones of the ancestors, wiped them with a cloth, and handed them over to the old man who invited him to put them in the bone altar...

   After the five graves were dug up, and the five bones were put into the bone altar, it was already afternoon, but Fu Dalang did not dare to be slighted, and after he invited the bone altar to go home, he hurried to the seven villages of Sin Village to build a grave for his mother.

   By the time the family reunited at Fu's house, it was already dark, and Li Baolu had asked someone to buy ingredients for them to cook, and gave half a tael of silver to everyone who came to help today.

  Everyone was happy, and they were kind to Fu Dalang a lot.

  The third day of the middle school is a good day for the Li family to raise their graves. Li Jun prepared early, and all the affairs were taken over by the servants of the Li family, instead of the people in the village, but the speed was faster.

   Moreover, in the four tombs, only Wan’s remains have corpses, and the rest are tombs of clothing and crowns. Although the ceremony will be more complicated, the speed is still very fast.

  Li Baolu and Li Jun wore linen clothes and knelt under the oilcloth to wipe Wan's bones, and placed them in the bone altar without pretending to be others.

   No one here dared to say a word against Li Baolu's actions that a woman did to a man.

When it was time to open the tombs of Li Kang and Fu, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun even went to work to open the tombs. The clothes inside were already painted with mud and fragments. They could only pick them up bit by bit and put them into the bone altar. Filled most of the soil in the grave...

   After grandfather's bone altar was filled with soil, everyone carried the bone altar to the seaside. They wanted to recruit souls again. Li Baolu didn't know if it would be useful. Maybe they had already been reincarnated, but it was a ritual.

   After conjuring the soul, he had to recite the rebirth mantra. The etiquette was more complicated than the previous burial. As the sun scorched, Gu Jingyun, Li Baolu and Li Jun knelt side by side on the scalding sand, looking resolutely at the golden sea shone by the sun.
