Chapter 250 Arrival in Southern Xinjiang
The cold-eaten rabbit business was indeed good during the Chinese New Year. Tang Mingrui came to Mo's house three times in a row to pick up the goods, and all the goods were sold out.
The Mo family's life continued as usual, and the Lantern Festival was soon over. Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran prepared to rush to southern Xinjiang on the 16th day of the first lunar month.
Considering that they had a long journey, Mo Chuhan specially helped them borrow a horse from the government office.
Meng Huaining guessed that Mo Jiuye and his wife might be leaving the city, so he turned a blind eye to it.
The plan was to take Fantuaner with him on this trip to southern Xinjiang, so He Zhiran held the little guy in his arms when he went out.
Mo Jiuye first jumped onto the horse, then pulled his wife up. Fantuaner sat obediently in front of his master. At first glance, this scene looked like a family of three traveling.
After Mrs. Mo gave some instructions, the couple and Fantuaner set off for southern Xinjiang together.
In order to prevent Fantuan'er's appearance from attracting too much attention, He Zhiran sent the little guy into the space after he left his family's sight.
The two of them went out in the morning. If they wanted to drive the G-Class, they had to wait until late at night and everyone was asleep. They had to get enough rest during the day.
So after they left Yuncheng, they found a sparsely populated official road and entered the space to rest.
It was not until the large clock in the space showed eight o'clock in the evening that the two men appeared on the official road with a fully fueled G-Class.
In ancient times, it was already late at night and the road was pitch black, with not even a ghost in sight.
Therefore, the two were not worried that the car would be seen. The journey was smooth and the G-Class drove steadily all night. Although the road was not easy to drive on, it was much faster than riding a horse.
Mo Jiuye was a novice driver on the road and was addicted to driving. He was angry that the dawn came too quickly.
He Zhiran really admired his endurance. After driving for a whole night, he was still full of energy and there was no trace of fatigue on his body.
As soon as He Zhiran entered the space, he was entangled by this energetic man...
After a thrilling battle, He Zhiran fell into a deep sleep.
Fantuaner is now very sensible. He never participates in fights between his two masters again. He even runs to the deepest part of the bamboo forest and hides as far away as possible.
After four days of this life, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran finally arrived at the southern border smoothly. This is the border between Dashun and southern Xinjiang. They are currently still in Dashun.
Mo Jiuye is extremely familiar with this place. Which of the Mo family men has not guarded here before?
Coming here, Mo Jiuye suddenly felt sad. Thinking back to the past, the Mo brothers shed blood on the battlefield here, but what did they get in the end?
Feared by the emperor, his property was confiscated and he was exiled...
He Zhiran could tell at a glance that the man was a little sad, so he took the initiative to step forward and put his arm around him.
"Everything is over. Believe me, the future will definitely get better and better."
Mo Jiuye pulled her into his arms and gave her a deep kiss on the forehead.
"I've moved on. I'm content to have you and my family together and live an ordinary life."
Of course, it would be even better if we could successfully find the eldest and second brothers.
It was already dawn, and the two were not in a hurry to enter the southern border territory. Mo Jiuye took He Zhiran to the place where his father and brother were buried to pay their respects.
The Mo family's tombs are deep in the mountains. The climate in the south is slightly warmer, and the trees on the mountains can still be seen green.
Because of the long-term war, there were not many people living in this area. Therefore, the two men did not encounter anyone on their way up the mountain.
After climbing up a hillside, Mo Jiuye pointed to the direction of the dense jungle ahead and said:
"Just past that."
He Zhiran could see that Mo Jiuye was in a very heavy mood at the moment. She said "hmm" softly and at the same time squeezed his slightly rough big hand hard to comfort him.
The couple came to a valley with heavy hearts, and what caught their eyes were nine graves overgrown with weeds.
The names of the Mo family members are written on the tombstones in front of the graves.
At the top is the tomb of Mo Laogong Mo Xing. After being exposed to the sun and rain and having no one to take care of it recently, the words on the tombstone appear a little blurry.
Below Mo Xing's tomb, there are eight tombs of different ages neatly arranged, and the names of the Mo brothers are engraved on the stone tablets.
At this moment, Mo Jiuye's eyes seemed to be filled with bloodshot, and the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed.
He plopped down on his knees in front of the grave.
"Dad, brothers, Jiuye is here to see you."
After he finished speaking, he bent down and kowtowed three times solemnly.
Although He Zhiran did not know these dead men of the Mo family, he couldn't help but bleed in his heart when he thought of their family's contributions to Dashun.
She knelt in front of the grave with Mo Jiuye. At the same time, her consciousness entered the space and she bought several kinds of offerings and placed them neatly in front of the grave, as well as incense and paper money for worship.
Mo Jiuye looked at her gratefully and lit three incense sticks and placed them on his father and brother's graves.
He Zhiran murmured softly, "God is unfair. He lets such good people die one after another, while the bad people live so comfortably."
Mo Jiuye stood up and smiled mockingly: "As men of the Mo family, we sacrificed our lives for Dashun. Now that I think about it, it's really not worth it."
He Zhiran didn't have the mood to persuade Mo Jiuye to mourn, after all, he was also in a very sad mood.
Perhaps the grief is their motivation. They are about to enter southern Xinjiang. As long as they are motivated, I believe their trip will be worthwhile.
After the worship, the two did not leave in a hurry. The grave of the starling was dug up by people sent by Nanrui. He Zhiran planned to check it out, hoping to find some useful clues here.
The two of them came to Mo Chuhan's grave in tacit understanding and examined it carefully.
Liang Hao had said at the beginning that after they discovered that Mo Chuhan's tomb had been dug up, they rearranged it.
Therefore, this grave now looks newer than the others, and the soil on the grave is a little loose.
Both of them knew that Mo Chuhan's body was no longer here, so they just checked the appearance and did not conduct any further inspection.
There wasn't even a body inside, probably just an empty coffin.
As for the graves of the third and fifth brothers, they are still intact and there is nothing different on the outside.
He Zhiran was more interested in the graves of his other brothers.
Especially the eldest and second brothers, there is a high possibility that they are alive, so she wanted to dig it up and take a look.
However, this must be approved by Mo Jiuye. After all, the respect that the ancients had for the deceased is not something that she, a modern person, can understand.
The so-called rest in peace, the person is lying here well, digging up the grave is tantamount to disrespecting the dead.
