Chapter 86 Human life is worthless

 The whole family slept in the main room of the inn that night.

The old lady went to bed early, Uncle Ma went for a walk somewhere, Gu Fei took out the remaining sheepskins, and several women were sewing sheepskin jackets under the oil lamp.

It’s getting colder day by day, so this jacket will come in handy soon.

While sewing, Gu Fei secretly took out some scraps of silver and asked Chen and the others to sew them to the corners of their clothes. "I see that the road is getting more and more unsafe. If something happens, someone in the family gets separated, I will give it to you." A little money is better than nothing. If we really get separated, we will find a way to meet up in Ping An City. "

Gu Sanlang came over and said with a smile, "Then let me sew more silver into that coat of mine."

Mrs. Chen patted him and said, "This is just in case. Our family members have to be together."

 At the time of the garrison, Mrs. Chen blew out the oil lamp and let him sleep.

  Everyone was planning to cook in the yard again when they got up early. The shopkeeper was a very particular person and did not allow them to cook in the front yard, so he drove them all to the backyard.

While making breakfast, two guys from the inn came to the backyard to chop firewood and started chatting.

 A waiter said: "There is a dead person over there on the corner of the street, do you know? I just went to see it."

The other one shook his head and struck down with an axe, "Not surprising, I heard that an old man died outside the town a few days ago. He said he died of starvation."

The guy waved his hand and said, "These two did not starve to death. They were a woman and a boy. They should be mother and son. I heard that they were beaten to death, as if they were trying to grab food. There was a broken pot thrown on the ground. The woman There’s blood on the head!”

The two were talking, and everyone making breakfast in the backyard heard it. Lian'er, who was lighting the fire, suddenly dropped the firewood in her hand and ran out like crazy.

Qian was scolding from behind: "Damn girl, where are you running? You're crazy!"

Gu Fei was startled and ran out as well.

 At this time, several men also reacted, looked at each other, and walked out in unison.

Gu Fei followed Lian'er to the corner of the street and saw a broken iron pot thrown on the ground, the inside of the pot was clean.

 Two people were lying next to the wall.

 The woman was lying on her back with a blood hole on her forehead. The blood had already solidified.

The boy was sitting against the wall, his neck tilted to one side and his face was purple.

  The baggage of the two men was scattered on the ground, and a few tattered cotton-padded jackets were exposed.

There are some scattered yellow spots on the bluestone floor, which look like cornmeal.

Lian'er rushed towards her and burst out with a heart-rending scream, "Mother--"

"younger brother-"

Gu Fei bit her lip, tears flowing down silently.

  Two people who were still alive yesterday fell here in this posture today.

I thought that the corn surface could be alive, how can I know that the corn surface has become a life -threatening symbol.

 Several men also came here and watched silently.

 At this time, a house next to me opened the door, and a woman stood at the door, "Is this someone you know?"

“Take it away quickly and bury it, it’s very unlucky to die here!”

 Everyone was silent.

Lian'er lay on her mother's body and cried for a while, then crawled next to her brother, hugging her brother's body and shaking her body, "Xiao Song, wake up, wake up, sister is here, sister will take you home. "

 The boy's head hung weakly on one side, shaking continuously with Lian'er's movements.

Aunt Liu, the village chief's wife, also followed over. She sighed, walked forward and put her hand on Lian'er's shoulder, "My daughter, your mother and brother are gone. There is nothing you can do about it. Human life is worthless in this world.”

“It’s better to bury them quickly and don’t let wild dogs eat them.”
