Jiang Susu put on linen mourning clothes and collected the bones for her family. Yunshan and the others helped, while Yunjing took Yun Xi away from such a scene. In the eyes of adults, children should not see such taboo things as bones.
After many years, the bones were already broken, and now they are even more weathered, making it difficult to tell who is who.
Six incomplete corpses were placed in the cleared yard, covered with the white cloth they brought. Jiang Susu carefully identified them. With years of memory and the assistance of Liu Dazhuang and others, she was able to identify the bones one by one. Who are they?
According to Liu Dazhuang, the bones of men and women are different after all, and there are subtle differences in the bones of different age groups. With the addition of family belongings left on the bones in Jiang Susu's memory, it was only then that he could slowly identify who was who. .
Her mother wore a thimble on the middle finger of her right hand. In this era, every woman who was a prostitute would carry this kind of thing to prevent her finger from being pricked by the butt of a needle while doing needlework.
She was the first to identify the bones, and the thimble was the best proof.
The next thing that was identified was the bones of sister Jiang Susu. After all, there are differences between male and female skeletons. She only had one older sister, excluding her mother.
Then it was difficult to identify the bones of her father, her two brothers and her younger brother.
These were assisted by Liu Dazhuang and others. The one with the smallest frame must be Jiang Susu¡¯s brother. When the tragedy happened, her brother was only in his early ten years.
Her father is the oldest one found by Liu Dazhuang and others based on their skeletal analysis. There is no doubt that this is her father.
But there was a problem with the bones of her two brothers, because the age difference between her two brothers was only more than a year. The difference was not very big and it was really difficult to distinguish. In the end, Jiang Susu thought that her eldest brother had always carried a dog The tooth necklace separated the bones of the two brothers.
Wearing dog teeth is because the mortality rate of children in this era is too high. Folks use this way of wearing jewelry to 'suppress evil' and hope that their children will grow up healthily. Rich people will wear wolf teeth and tiger teeth, but Jiang Susu's family was originally from the countryside. Farmers naturally do not have such conditions.
Since then, the whole family has been distinguished by her, which is really not easy.
Yunjing is a little surprised that Liu Dazhuang has the ability to judge his age based on his bones. However, since he is a martial arts practitioner, it makes sense that he can tell his age based on his bones.
Yunjing had seen a video in his previous life. It said that some clever "gold-touching captains" fell into the tomb and could deduce the age of the tomb owner just by looking at the bones of the deceased. He didn't know whether it was true or not.
???????????? Actually, Jiang Susu could tell the identity of the family members¡¯ bones, or it was because they were all scattered. If they were mixed together, it¡¯s hard to say.
With the identities of the family members distinguished, the next step is the issue of burial.
Originally, Yunshan also suggested finding a way to bring these bones back to Niujiao Town for burial, so that Jiang Susu could worship them when they arrived, but Jiang Susu thought about it and refused.
In this era, it is important to return to one¡¯s roots after falling leaves. Even those who die outside have to find ways to return to their hometown for burial. She doesn¡¯t want her family members to leave their hometown and become lonely ghosts after their death.
After all, the family member has been dead for more than ten years, and the burial can only be simple, but the due process still needs to be in place.
There are no monks or Taoists in this world. Burying the dead is usually presided over by scholars. There are also special scriptures to save the souls of the dead, all compiled by sages.
"What people call funerals, funerals and funerals, has the word "ritual" in it, so the process of burying the deceased is actually included in the discipline of etiquette.
Regarding the subject of etiquette, Yunjing has not yet learned about funerals. Although he has read the process in books, he is not professional.
In this world, funerals are divided into one day, three days, five days and seven days. People with conditions have forty-nine days, three months or even three years, and men and women, married and unmarried, adults and children, normal and abnormal deaths Death, etc., different circumstances and different burial procedures are very complicated.
Of course, there are so many things to pay attention to when conditions permit. If there is really no other way, just dig a hole, bury the person and kowtow
A lesson in etiquette, just for funerals, if you learn it well, it will be enough to settle down and earn money to support your family.
Although everything was kept simple, the necessary procedures were essential. Yunjing was not professional and did not rush to host the funeral. So Ding Wei hurried to Kuquan Town and spent a lot of money to hire a funeral gentleman. By the way, he also bought six With coffin.
As long as you have money, whether you hire someone or buy a coffin, the problem is very simple.
Sir, we invited him, the bones were placed in the coffin, incense and paper were burned, scriptures were recited, and he kowtowed and knelt down. What did he say???They were buried in peace, their filial piety was exhausted and their tears were shed. The purpose of their trip had been achieved, and a great regret in their lives had been fulfilled.
As her husband, Yunshan offered to stay for a few more days, but Jiang Susu refused.
In her simple words, her family members have been dead for many years, and they definitely don¡¯t want to see her sad. Living a good life is what her family wants to see most, so go back.
The rusty lock on the broken door has not been opened by anyone, the earth-walled thatched hut is covered with dry moss, and nameless weeds have invaded the courtyard. I feel a sense of sadness and sorrow. I remember that when the high hall was there, there were stoves and pots burning. On my knees, there are no relatives in my hometown, and there is a son at home who is looking forward to returning
This is Jiang Susu¡¯s current state of mind. She has done everything she needs to do, and her life must return to peace.
The journey lasted for more than half a month, during which there were many twists and turns, and there were countless sad tears. This trip finally came to a successful conclusion.
Compared with countless people in the world, Jiang Susu is unfortunate. She has been homeless for more than ten years after her family died tragically. But she is lucky. The bones of her family are still there, and she can still fulfill her filial piety. Moreover, now she also has a happy life. Happy family.
Fortunately or unfortunately, it still depends on how the individual thinks about it.
People cannot live in the past forever
The journey back went smoothly, and the group returned to Niujiao Town safely more than ten days later.
After leaving Xiaolin Village, it took Jiang Susu a few days to recover from her sadness. With her younger sister Jiang Xiaoxi by her side, the smile on her face was much brighter than before.
After returning to Niujiao Town, Yunjing asked Liu Dazhuang and the others to go back separately, while he accompanied his family back to Xiaoxi Village.
On the day Yunjing returned to his home, his younger brother Yundong made a mockery of him. Yundong was still angry and kicked Yunjing again. Yunjing couldn't bear it. Who made him forget to bring something to his brother? It's delicious and fun.
????????????????????????????? My brother is old now, and he actually still remembers the bad check he cheated nearly a month ago.
Seeing that he had been grazing cattle and cutting pig grass at home for so long, Yunjing didn't care about him. Anyway, it didn't hurt if the kid hit himself.
After returning home, Yunjing began to help Jiang Xiaoxi with the purchase of land. Jiang Xiaoxi was rich and Yunjing was a well-known scholar, so it was not difficult to get there. Jiang Xiaoxi got his own land deed after a few days.
But what she got was all wasteland, because the cultivated land was owned by an owner, and she had to reclaim the wasteland herself.
After all, as a woman, Jiang Xiaoxi has been in the world for many years, but she still has the habit of saving money and saving like ordinary women. She doesn't eat and drink like men, so money clears the way and everything goes smoothly.
After getting her own land deed, she began to spend money to hire people to build a house. She is currently living in Yunjing's house. After the new house is built, she will move there. She will settle directly in Xiaoxi Village, retreat to the countryside, and Jiang Susu Keep company so that neither of you is alone.
During this process, one day Yunjing found Jiang Xiaoxi alone and handed her more than ten books, all of which were martial arts secrets, some of which could be practiced to the late innate stage.
These martial arts secrets were ¡®stolen¡¯ by Yun Jing on Crouching Tiger Mountain. Now he copied them and gave them to Jiang Xiaoxi. He used the excuse that they were taught by his master and there were no taboos against spreading them to others, so she could hold them with peace of mind.
Jiang Xiaoxi is a martial arts practitioner, but the skills she practices are too basic. Whether she can practice to the later stage is another matter. Yunjing gave her the martial arts secrets, which can be regarded as making the best use of them.
Although she is not young anymore, with these martial arts secrets and Yun Jing¡¯s help from time to time with spiritual energy, it is not impossible for Jiang Xiaoxi to grow into an innate master one day in the future.
If she can become an innate master, settle in Xiaoxi Village, and be her mother's sister, then the safety of her family will be greatly guaranteed, which Yun Jing is happy to see.
????????????????????????? The days always go by so fast, it seems like yesterday that I went to Xiaolin Village, but after I came back, I became busy with various things, and before I knew it, Yunjing and the others were about to start the new semester in autumn.
The start of school means that the two brothers have to say goodbye to their families and go to the town to study.
After all, I have experienced this kind of thing of leaving my parents many times, and I have become accustomed to it, so there is no such thing as sadness.
Yunjing, who returned to town to prepare for the start of school, still stayed at his master's house, but as soon as he went there, his master's wife gave him a letter, a letter from Li Qiu, who had been away for several months (Remember this site Website: www.hlnovel.com
