Chapter 362 This Wind Can’t Go Well
Zhou Yunshu turned around quietly with the clothes in her hand and gave a thumbs up to Ji Sheng who was sitting opposite her.
How could he always guess right?
Zhou Yunshu took the clothes and walked to Ji Sheng and Pingping, then bent down and kissed Pingping's forehead.
Ji Sheng watched Zhou Yunshu's skillful movements, and when Zhou Yunshu was about to stand up, he reached out and grabbed her arm.
When she felt the warm touch on her lips, Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Sheng in disbelief. Before she could struggle, Ji Sheng let Zhou Yunshu go.
He hugged Pingping, who was looking around with round, curious eyes, and said in a good mood, "We'll wait for you to come home."
Zhou Yunshu opened her mouth, looked at the light in Ji Sheng's eyes and Ping Ping's curious eyes, took a deep breath, nodded, turned and left.
Ji Sheng held Ping Ping in his arms, looking at Zhou Yunshu's somewhat fleeing figure with a smile, and said, "Your mother is really both bold and timid."
Pingping didn't understand what Ji Sheng meant, but she just laughed.
…
Zhou Yunshu touched her lips only after she left the main courtyard holding Ji Sheng's clothes.
But when she saw Chunque coming over with a basket full of things, she immediately put down her hand.
"What are you carrying?"
Chunque smiled and raised the basket in her hand and said, "Master, you have to bring something with you when you go to see the prince and the general."
After seeing the things in the basket, Zhou Yunshu nodded and said, "You are really thoughtful."
Then she changed the subject and said, "Give me this basket, and go find me two sharp shovels. I need them."
Chunque thought about what her master was about to do and muttered, "Okay."
After agreeing to Chunque, he prayed silently in his heart: Prince, General, I am just an errand boy, please don't look for me.
Chunque went to run errands, and Zhou Yunshu carried the basket and clothes back to the guest house.
Zhou Yunqi was mentally prepared when Zhou Yunshu came back.
If the tomb is fake, then there is no disrespect.
If the tomb is real, Zhou Yunqi is ready to kowtow a few more times.
"You've prepared quite well." Zhou Yunqi took the clothes and looked at the basket in Zhou Yunshu's hand.
"Do you still want to go empty-handed?"
Zhou Yunqi was speechless. He was only focused on convincing himself and didn't care whether he should prepare anything or not.
"Okay, go change your clothes. We'll set off after Chunque brings the shovel."
Things have developed to this point, and Zhou Yunqi no longer resists. He obediently takes his clothes back to his room and changes.
Chunque came back quickly because when she went to find a shovel, the guards in the main courtyard were already waiting for her with two shovels.
He looked as if he already knew what Zhou Yunshu was going to do tonight.
When Chunque returned with the shovel, he looked at Zhou Yunshu and Zhou Yunqi who were fully prepared, and wanted to say something, but in the end, he only said, "Master, Fourth Master, have a safe trip."
Zhou Yunqi looked at Chunque, whose eyes were filled with anxiety, with a stiff expression, "Don't say that last sentence."
Anyone who digs up his own grave will never be lucky.
Zhou Yunshu and Zhou Yunqi packed all the paper money, incense sticks and candles into a bag and carried it on their backs. Zhou Yunqi also had two more shovels on his horse.
With Ji Sheng's token, even if the gates of Youzhou City have been closed for a long time, they still have to be opened for them.
The soldiers guarding the city were curious about the identities of the two men, while Zhou Yunshu, who had left the city, asked Zhou Yunqi to repeatedly confirm the location of the cemetery.
There was a reason why Zhou Yunshu was worried, because Zhou Yunqi was not very familiar with the road.
This is also why Zhou Yunzhi and Zhou Yunhai both went to the northern border to lead troops, but Zhou Yunqi, who was obviously very talented, had to study outside with Zhou Yunjia.
On the battlefield, sense of direction is very important.
"I really do."
Not long after Zhou Yunqi finished saying this, he was slapped in the face.
The two men dismounted, carrying their bags and shovels. Zhou Yunshu lit the torch. Zhou Yunqi looked at the grave mound covered with weeds, then turned his head to look at the short trees not far away, and was a little unable to move.
"Let's go."
Zhou Yunqi stood there, trying to recall what he looked like the last time he came. "Don't rush me, I'm thinking."
"Don't tell me you forgot."
Zhou Yunqi rubbed his eyes and said, "I told you to come during the day, but you insisted on coming at night."
"It was always daytime when I came here, but it must be different at night."
Zhou Yunshu: “…”
"So what do we do now?"
Zhou Yunqi looked at Zhou Yunshu beside him and pointed at the tree next to him and said, "I remember when I came here during the day, there was a locust tree nearby."
"Then let's go."
Zhou Yunqi said that there were indeed landmarks for reference, but the problem was that there were quite a few locust trees around.
"Who are the people buried in this land?"
Even though Zhou Cungao had disagreements with Ji Mingzhu before his death, after his death, Ji Mingzhu would never just find a random place to bury him. She has never been a casual person, so this piece of land must have some meaning.
Zhou Yunqi said in a deep voice: "Those lying here are all members of the Zhou family army."
Zhou Yunshu stopped walking after hearing what Zhou Yunqi said, "Is this all over the place?"
Zhou Yunqi nodded. "When a soldier of the Zhou family army dies, his fellow townsmen will help collect his body and take it back to his hometown. If there is nowhere to go and no one to take him, he will be buried in this hero's tomb."
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Yunqi asked as he looked at Zhou Yunshu who suddenly took off her bag.
"Since they are the Zhou family army, let's pay our respects to them as well."
The area was overgrown with weeds, and some of the graves were obviously in disrepair. The Zhou family army had been gone for only a year, but the entire northern border seemed to have forgotten them.
Zhou Yunqi sighed when he heard Zhou Yunshu's words. He untied his bag and said, "Leave some for Grandpa and the others, and burn the rest together."
After saying this, he even said in a good mood: "Maybe after the worship, they will help us show us the way!"
"Maybe."
Zhou Yunshu and Zhou Yunqi used shovels to clear a piece of land, looked at the surrounding graves, and lit pieces of paper money in the silent night.
The rustling sound of the fire was drowned out by a low chant, and then another chant followed.
This is the military song of the Zhou family army, and it is the song that the Zhou family’s children are most familiar with since childhood.
The Zhou family army has been guarding the northern border for decades, but in the end they were dealt with by basin after basin of dirty water. This is something that no member of the Zhou family or even the Zhou family army can accept.
The fire gradually died down. Zhou Yunqi looked at the grave mound in front of him and swore:
"Don't worry, I will never let the Zhou family army bear the name of rebels in the history of the Great Zhou."
After she finished speaking, Zhou Yunshu extinguished the last bit of fire and suddenly pulled Zhou Yunqi's arm to make him shut up.
Zhou Yunqi looked at Zhou Yunshu in confusion, and then he heard voices coming from not far away.
Zhou Yunqi widened his eyes. Could it be that it really came true?
