Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 126 Human life is worth less than grass!
Chapter 126 Human life is worth less than grass!
"No! Help!" Li Laosi was the first to react and ran over in a few steps. He wanted to push the door open, but it was locked from the inside.
He could only patted hard, "People inside, open the door quickly!"
Unfortunately, no one answered.
At this moment, Mrs. Qiong, Liu Biaotou and others also rushed over. Li Laosi gritted his teeth, took a step back, and kicked the door open with a bang.
Everyone looked up and gasped in fright.
The bodies of four children were placed side by side on the ground, and the women were already hanging from the rafters.
“Save people quickly!”
Li Laosi raised his foot and was about to go in, but was stopped by Sister-in-law Qiong.
“There’s no need to save him, and he can’t be saved!”
Li Laosi was stunned when he heard this, and Liu Biaotou and the villagers were also anxious, "You haven't been saved yet, how do you know you can't be saved?"
They also ignored Sister-in-law Qiong, pulled the table and stepped on the stools, and quickly put the women down, and then... they all fell silent.
The woman’s body was almost completely cold, and Daluo Jinxian could not save her.
Some villagers blamed themselves, "We just left some people to watch over it."
“Yeah, I just feel sad thinking about them, and they will feel better after a while. How can I think of...”
Sister-in-law Qiong shook her head and said softly, "You can save them and persuade them once, but you can't persuade them and save them for the rest of your life. They are determined to die, and they can always find opportunities."
"It is better to live than to die. The bandits are all dead..." Some villagers did not believe it, but Sister-in-law Qiong went to the table, and sure enough, there were blood letters and tokens there.
She picked it up, glanced at it briefly and said, "They are the family members of the Guo family of Taihua Academy in Kyoto. Please let us bring the news of their deaths to the family. In a scholarly family like the Guo family, chastity is far more important than life. These days. This woman originally endured humiliation and lived an ignoble life just to survive for her children.
Now that the children are dead and their virginity is gone, they have no reason to live. If everyone feels pity for them, please keep their affairs a secret. If anyone asks in the future, they will say that their family was murdered by bandits at the same time. "
Everyone felt sour and heavy after hearing this, and wished they could pull out the bandits and kill them ten thousand times.
Sister-in-law Qiong asked Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou to read the blood letter and tokens, and then put them in their arms.
"Our wives are old acquaintances with Mr. Guo's wife. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, if these things are given to our wives, they should be delivered to the Guo family. Don't worry, everyone will definitely not take credit for your efforts. …”
Li Laosi quickly waved his hand, "We didn't help much, and we didn't get much credit. But we did not notice these poor women under our noses, and let them commit suicide. I feel bad."
Liu Biaotou also nodded and sighed, "Now that things have come to this, we can only help him bury him in peace."
Sister-in-law Qiong said, "Look around to see if there is any luggage or women's clothes from the Guo family. I will help them sort them out and bury them in a dignified way. When someone comes to their house to pick up the bones in the future, it won't be too ugly."
The woman is still attentive. Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou could not imagine so much, but they were willing to give their full support.
The villagers immediately dispersed and searched everywhere, and sure enough, they found several packages on the floor of the west house.
Not only did he have clothes, but also some odds and ends, including a few bottles of pills.
Sister-in-law Qiong briefly identified it and took a bottle to Uncle Wu.
“This should be for treating wind and cold. It’s the same as what our wife took before. You can give the child one pill first.”
Uncle Wu quickly thanked him. Gou Sheng'er had a cloth on his forehead and he had woken up. He cried hard when he saw his father, but the fever still didn't go away.
This pill is so timely!
Sister-in-law Qiong nodded, then took the dresses and helped the Guo girls put them on.
She was the only woman, and no one else could help her, so she simply moved it onto a wooden box in the house and sent it outside, intending to temporarily use it as a coffin.
In the middle of the work, a villager suddenly exclaimed, "Come on, there is food here, a lot of food!" Everyone hurriedly gathered around. This was a wing room. The room was not big, but there were piles of things on the earthen bed. There were more than twenty bags in three layers of grain bags. One of the open openings was half eaten, with white japonica rice inside.
There are four or five jars of vegetable oil, some salt, **** and garlic, etc., and even a jar of candied apricots. It is obvious that these things must have been brought by the Guo family on the road, and they did not want to be robbed by these bandits...
“Great, great, we don’t have to worry about going hungry during the winter.”
“If I take this back, my family will probably go crazy with joy.”
Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou looked at each other and had a perfect understanding.
“Let’s bury the Guo family first, and then search the yard carefully. These things all belong to the Guo family. We have received their kindness, and we must do something to bring the things back with peace of mind.”
The villagers nodded one after another and quickly carried out all the boxes in the yard. There were five people in total, which was enough for the Guo family to live in.
Li Laosi took people to carry back several men hanging in the woods and helped them put on their clothes.
I don’t know how many days these people had been frozen. The bodies were so hard that their hands and feet were severely damaged.
It’s freezing outside the house, so it’s not easy to dig a hole.
They all evacuated the things from the west room of the main house and dug up the house directly.
Maybe good people are rewarded. When a floor tile near the corner was dug up, a jar was revealed, which was filled with silver.
Everyone was shocked, it was obvious that this was the dirty silver hidden by the bandits.
This jar of silver seemed to start a treasure hunt for everyone. For half the night, the graves of the Guo family were dug out, and three feet of ground was dug up in the entire small courtyard.
It’s a pity that there is nothing else except the jar of silver.
Everyone was disappointed, but Liu Biaotou shouted.
"What are you thinking? Are you too greedy? We came here to save the child. Now that the child has been saved, we have received so much food and a jar of silver. We are already very lucky. If something went wrong last night, We are all going to see the Lord of Hell now!”
When everyone heard this, they thought it was true and laughed guiltily.
No one complained for a while, and they quickly helped to bury the Guo family.
Since we don’t know who is the same as who, and to avoid the embarrassment of burying the eldest brother and his younger siblings in the same box, the Guo family still buries men and women separately.
Two women per box, two men per box, and four children per box.
Finally, the five boxes were put into the pit together.
Sister-in-law Qiong found a blackened wooden stick, pulled out a piece of white cloth, and briefly recorded the characteristics of the Guo family members buried in each box, planning to hand them over to the Guo family in the future.
Li Laosi picked up the axe, marked the box, and then jumped up. Everyone looked at the twelve members of the Guo family and felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs!
In times of trouble, human life is no more fragile than the weeds on the roadside.
"Mr. and Mrs. Guo, we are also poor people fleeing famine. It is a tragedy to come here unexpectedly and catch up with your family. This is all we can do. I hope you are satisfied."
I don’t know if the grain and money belong to your family, so we will take them away. When we go out of the mountains and forests and arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, we will definitely find your family and explain this matter. Please wait quietly for your family to take you back. "
Li Laosi finished speaking seriously, and then led everyone to salute.
