Su Qi fed Aunt Lan a few sips of rock sugar water before she slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was Gu Beiting's tearful face and Su Qi's indifferent and distant expression.
Aunt Lan shook her head and moved her lips:
"Why save me? I'm tired and can't walk anymore.
I'll never have the chance to do good deeds in my life, so this desolate mountain is my final resting place." Turbid tears slid across her no longer youthful face.
once Upon a time.
She is also the daughter of a good family.
But fate played a trick on her, and she was spotted by a general on the march. He went to her home and spent fifty taels of silver to buy her back. When her parents saw that he was an officer, they didn't dare to say a word.
She accepted the fifty taels of silver with tears in her eyes. From then on, she never saw her hometown or her parents who stayed there again.
"Aunt, I'll carry you on my back." Gu Beiting choked.
She was afraid that someone of her low status would leave.
These people are so apathetic.
Aunt Lan chuckled and raised her hand to the sky. "I'm not leaving. Look, there's a swallow flying over there. I want to follow it back to see my parents. They're gone now, right?" As she laughed, Aunt Lan's hand dropped from the sky.
Gu Beiheng squatted next to Su Qi and stayed close to her.
The accompanying officer came over, took a look, sniffed, and shook his head. "Dead."
"Please dig a hole and bury it, sir." Su Qi stood up and took out a silver ingot and quietly handed it to the officer.
The official frowned at first, then when he touched the silver ingot, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He coldly scolded:
"Trouble is, I can't make the decision. I have to ask Huang Tou."
"Excuse me, sir." Gu Beiheng said loudly.
When Mr. Gu heard that they had to bury the dead, he thought that money must have been spent.
He was very unhappy in his heart, "Beiheng, are you just going to listen to your wife's orders? You made so many of us wait. The living are always more important than the dead."
Old Master Gu sat up and glared unhappily.
Su Qi glared back without showing any weakness.
"Some people are worse off dead than alive." Aunt Lan had been with him for decades, and not only did she not shed a single tear when he died, she could even say such heartless words.
Madam Gu picked up her cane and poked the ground.
Screaming:
"A lowly servant, you still dream of giving her a proper burial?"
"Even if the girl you gave birth to was of some use, she wouldn't be in such a mess on the road?" Old Madam Gu cursed loudly, completely forgetting that Aunt Lan's daughter had sent her silver and money, but she just took it away.
In the end, not a single penny of this money was spent on Aunt Lan.
Su Qi ignored the person who was cursing behind him.
The official and the bearded man were waiting for their return together with Gu Beiheng.
The bearded man came over, and Madam Gu shut her mouth in time. This evil man with a big beard would whip people without any regard for the consequences.
Even an old woman is afraid of being bullied by a bad person.
The bearded man had no expression on his cold face, and just glanced at Aunt Lan.
"Let's bury him in the woods nearby. Hurry up and rest in the cave ahead to avoid the rain." As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently fell on Su Qi, like a cold and poisonous snake.
Su Qi always felt that this man was very strange, and she didn't know how Gu Beiheng knew him.
"Sir, can you remove my shackles for a moment?" Gu Beiheng pleaded.
The bearded man came over, and just when everyone thought he was going to beat Gu Beiheng, he opened the shackles on Gu Beiheng and untied the rope on his legs, and glanced at Su Qi again.
"Do it yourself."
Gu Beiting timidly stepped forward and asked:
"Sir, can I untie it too? I'll kowtow to my aunt." Gu Beiting's sallow little face was full of tears, and she looked like a little white rabbit that couldn't find its home.
The word "irritable" was written all over the bearded man's face.
"Damn it. Untie it." He said with a "Pah". "You have such bad intentions, don't get yourself involved." After saying that, he glared at Gu Beiting fiercely.
Gu Beiting was so scared that her heart almost stopped.
She always felt that the man in front of her could end her life with a whip at any time.
Gu Beiting walked to Su Qi's side tremblingly. She felt safer staying close to Su Qi.
Gu Beihe, Gu Beijing and others looked at Gu Beiting enviously as she walked over, but they didn't have the courage to say anything.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the bearded man could explode at any moment.
The monkey brought a shovel and a short iron tool shaped like an ordnance shovel.
He helped Gu Beiheng dig the hole. Gu Beiheng put Dabao down and took Erbao down from Su Qi's backpack.
The two little guys didn't run away. They just stood there watching Gu Beiheng digging the hole, and then looked at Aunt Lan who was lying on the ground with a smile on her face.
Su Qi picked a handful of wild flowers in the woods. Gu Beiheng buried Aunt Lan and made a grave.
Su Qi placed wild flowers in front of the grave.
She pulled Dabao and Erbao to kowtow to Aunt Lan, and silently said in her heart: Aunt Lan, follow the swallows flying south and return to your hometown.
In front of the grave.
The one who couldn't help crying was Gu Beiting. After she finished paying her respects to Aunt Lan, she walked over to Su Qi and whispered thank you.
Su Qi was very surprised that this usually quiet girl had such courage at this time.
It seems like she is another little girl with a story.
Remember, her mother passed away a few years ago.
"Let's go."
The bearded man shouted into the woods.
Gu Beiting was so scared that she ran out.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng came out carrying Dabao and Erbao on their backs. Monkey came over and put shackles on Gu Beiheng and tied him with ropes.
The group continued on their journey.
Everyone knew very well that Aunt Lan was the first and definitely not the last.
It was precisely from her that people would continue to die in the following journey.
We walked another ten miles.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be pressing down on our heads, making it hard to breathe.
The sky, which was originally bright, was now dark and fell on the ground.
"Hurry up. Otherwise we'll be doomed if we get caught in the rain." Old Huang shouted on horseback.
The Gu family members followed suit and walked faster. Everyone was afraid of getting caught in the rain, as getting caught in the rain at this time meant many people would get sick.
It also represents the coming of death.
Madam Gu lay on Gu Beiyang's back and couldn't help cursing:
"What an unlucky old thing! She's still annoying even after she's dead. When I get to the underworld, I'm going to take her down and give her a good beating.
Shameless thing, you don't show filial piety to a living person. Instead, you show filial piety to that crooked wild thing, without even considering whether she is worthy or not?..."
Su Qi was already very irritable.
What the hell, I still have to be criticized by others.
The hot-tempered Su Qi couldn't help but turn her head and stare at Madam Gu with a sneer:
"Madam, you're not right. Perhaps Aunt Lan is unwilling to rest in peace and wants it to rain so she can take her enemy's life.
When you get to the underworld, you won't be able to beat her.
She went first, and by then she'll have her own power. She can torture you however she wants, and maybe she's following you right now." Su Qi said this with a creepy laugh.
A thunderclap sounded in the sky.
Old Madam Gu screamed in fear and shrank onto Gu Beiyang's back.
Poor Gu Beiyang showed a painful expression. He could feel the hot liquid on his waist soaking his clothes.
"Hey, where does that urine smell come from?" Mrs. Gu Wu covered her nose and sneered.
No one else dared to speak.
Aunt Liu's face turned pale with fear. She thought Su Qi was good in every way, except for her bad temper. She was afraid that the thunder from before would hit Su Qi herself.
Aren’t the unfilial descendants referring to people like Su Qi?
What if I get struck to death by lightning?
Shivering, Aunt Liu pleaded with Su Qi in a low voice:
"Qiqi, don't ever speak like that again. You'll be struck by lightning."
Su Qi sneered:
"If I were struck by lightning, I'm afraid most of the people here would be killed first."
