Chapter 127
Perhaps because of preparations, a mourning hall was quickly set up in the small courtyard. On the shelves of the mourning hall supported by cypress branches, strips of wide white cloth were hung one by one, forming an arched passageway, extending from the door to the courtyard. , In this sultry July day, it looks white and miserable.

I don't know how long I stood there, my legs were numb, and finally I ran over sweating profusely, "Fourth sister, let me take you back first. According to the custom in our hometown, we have to keep a vigil for three days and three nights. I will stay here with Brother Yongrong for a few days."

Su Huan raised his head and said, "Where's Aunt Qin?"

Cricket said, "Oh, she brought a few aunts and is helping grandma change her shroud."

He looked around and said in a low voice, "Fourth Sister, don't worry, Aunt Qin and I are the only ones who know. Aunt Qin knows the rules and the depths, and her mouth is strict. I can stand the test, so don't worry .Besides, it’s not that you have done anything wrong, you are a loyal person.”

Su Huan struggled and said, "Go get busy, I'll go back by myself. It's not too far from home, it's only two streets away, and I know the way. There are so many people on the street during the day, so it's okay."

The cricket was hesitating, when suddenly someone shouted, "Cricket, cricket, come and give me a hand."

Su Huan hurriedly said, "You go, you go, I'll go back first, it's okay."

Cricket thought about it, and felt that nothing would happen in the blue sky, so he took out a bunch of copper keys and handed it to Su Huan, "Fourth sister, be careful."

Su Huan nodded, took the copper key, turned around and left.

Walking on the street, she was also very conscious, she didn't look around, and walked home wholeheartedly.This place is still unfamiliar to her, and Huo An is not around, so she has to keep a low profile.

Back at Cai's house, it was empty everywhere, so she let Dada Xiaoer out, jumped around in the yard, froze for a while, and kindly comforted herself. Grandma Yongrong's face was peaceful when she passed away, she had accrued a small merit, so relax, relax, she is not really wanted to be a wife.

Thinking of this, she stopped worrying and ran to the backyard to wash clothes diligently.

I ate some food indiscriminately at noon, but it was cloudy in the afternoon.

Su Huan stretched his head to look at the dark clouds that were getting heavier and heavier in the sky. He felt that it was not good, and it might rain heavily, so he was a little worried about Huo An and the others who were far away. After thinking about it, he was also worried about the crickets and the others.

At dusk, it really rained heavily.

Su Huan sat alone in the room, took the stretcher, and absent-mindedly embroidered the upper of the shoe, only to feel that it was windy and rainy outside, and the whole house was empty and lonely, but luckily Dada and Xiao Er were with her.

After embroidering for a while, Aunt Ubo and Tan came back. She heard the noise and ran out to look, but saw the cricket also came back, drenched to the skin.

She couldn't help being surprised and said, "Cricket, why are you back?"

Ubo and Aunt Tan greeted her, and went back to their respective rooms to change clothes. Cricket wiped the rain on his face and walked over and said, "Brother Yongrong said, there is no need to keep watch with him, let us come back quickly, you will meet at home alone." Scared."

Su Huan said, "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. Well, are you okay, brother Yongrong?"

Cricket nodded, "Grandma has been ill for a long time, and Brother Yongrong is prepared for it. Besides, fourth sister, you fulfilled Grandma's wish today..."

Su Huan hurriedly coughed, "Cricket, this is not a big deal, don't mention it."

The cricket looked at her and said solemnly, "Brother Yongrong asked me to tell you that he will remember this favor, so don't worry, Fourth Sister, no one will mention it again."

Su Huan nodded, "Go back to your room and change your clothes. There is hot water in the kitchen, so go and take a shower in the room by yourself. Be careful not to catch a cold."

The cricket nodded and ran away.

Su Huan looked up at the dark rainy night, thinking to himself, wondering what happened to Huo An and the others.

Just as Su Huan was worried, Cai Xiang and Huo An were very tangled and depressed because of the terrible weather.

The sun was still shining brightly during the day, but at dusk it started to rain heavily. The key point is that the rainstorm didn't stop until it got dark.

Because I escorted ten carts of tea, I walked more slowly than usual, and it was almost almost Xu time, so I found a place to stay in a small village.

Originally, it was common to sleep in the wilderness when riding a horse, but this time because I bought the goods by the way, I also took the expensive and high-quality tea, and it was raining heavily, so it is not good to sleep in the wilderness, even if there is thick oily cowhide The canopy tightly covered the tea leaves, and Cai Xiang was also worried that the wind and rain would wet the tea leaves, so she asked for directions and ran to knock on the house of the village chief, planning to discuss with the old village chief and pay some money so that They borrow a place to stay, as long as they can stock it.

The old village chief stood at the gate of the courtyard, thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is an empty house in our village. I can lend you a rest, but the house has been abandoned for many years."

Cai Xiang said happily, "No one is just right, as long as these ten carts of tea leaves are stored, we are not afraid of the rain, and we can rest anywhere. Father, you will make everything come true, how about borrowing a precious place?"

The old village head twisted his beard and sighed, "I also know that it's not easy for you caravans to travel around, but that place is not a precious place, but a ghostly place."

Cao Feng, who was joining in the fun, said in surprise, "Hey, there are still ghosts in this world?"

Cai Xiang pushed him with an elbow, Cao Feng rubbed his chest and closed his mouth.

So Cai Xiang smiled nonchalantly, "Take a look, old man, the yang energy of our thirty or forty men is extremely heavy. There are ghosts or something. It happens that the yin and yang are in harmony. Go to them to remove the fire. If it's okay, you can take it with you." Let's go to the house."

Cao Feng joined in the fun again, "That's right, old man, maybe we can help you catch ghosts, hahaha."

Seeing that they didn't care, the old village chief nodded in agreement.

When Cai Xiang went in to borrow land, Huo An and Aqiu led a long team and waited for news at the entrance of the village.It was still raining, and the group of people were all wearing coir raincoats and hats, riding on horses and waiting.

It was pitch dark, and because of the rain, the tung oil gauze lamps hanging on the handlebars of the carriage could not be lit, so we had to wait in the dark.

There was an intermittent coughing sound in the darkness.

Aqiu muttered to himself, "It's fine to take the goods, but why do you still have a tuberculosis? It's really troublesome."

Hearing what he said, Huo An couldn't help but think that the merchant surnamed Hu also did not pledge the goods himself, but let a sick accountant who was coughing and coughing to accompany them to deposit the goods.

That night when we were discussing business in Xiangqing Building, Bai Qingxun saw him go out to have a urinate, so he followed him to urinate. When the two men were urinating together, Young Master Bai spoke slowly, "Huo An, it's your first time on a horse. Be careful about everything."

Huo An turned his head to look at him, with a straight expression on his face.
