Chapter 26 The Fleeing Group
“Girl, what’s your name?”
Li leaned down and carefully looked at the appearance of the girl in front of her.
"I have met Madam, my name is Jiang Lei."
The voice is clear and loud, and it is really pleasant to listen to.
Li did not hide the location of where she lived, and explained her family's situation to Jiang Lei in detail.
As expected, Jiang Lei was not afraid of the so-called dangerous place. Instead, she looked a bit broken.
After making up her mind, she nodded and agreed that as long as Mrs. Li gave her nine taels of silver, she could buy a coffin to bury her adoptive mother.
“Nine taels?”
“If that’s too much, Madam, eight taels is fine... No, six taels is fine. The minimum is six taels.”
< br>
Obviously, Jiang Lei had been rejected for a day and understood that even if she wanted to sell herself to bury her mother, she might not be able to find a suitable home.
So the words were a little more urgent.
Li shook her head and said directly:
"Jiu Liang is enough to buy a coffin, but do you have the money to buy a cemetery?"
If not Money is needed to buy a cemetery, but there are no ancestral graves, so the corpses can only be taken to mass graves and buried casually.
But according to this world, mass graves are filled with ghosts who died unjustly, and it is really not peaceful to be buried there.
Besides, her adoptive mother was a woman. If she was buried in a place like that, she would be harassed by other ghosts even after death.
Obviously, Jiang Lei is just an underage girl, how can she know all the details here.
Her gambler father disappeared without a trace, so it was naturally impossible for him to allow his wife to be buried near his ancestral grave.
"Well, there is a place near my house where people can be buried. If you don't mind it, you can choose a place for your stepmother to be buried."
Jiang Lei was even more moved when she heard this, and kowtowed to Mrs. Li repeatedly to thank her.
Later, Mrs. Li went to the coffin shop to negotiate the price for Jiang Lei. She paid a total of ten taels of silver and finally got the manager of the coffin shop to agree.
Not only helped deliver the thin wooden coffin to the river bank in the west of the city, but also helped them dig a grave and bury them.
By the way, he also gave them two dozen pieces of paper money, so that Jiang Lei could burn some money for her adoptive mother to avoid being short of money.
After working for a long time, I finally settled the matter behind Jiang Lei’s adoptive mother and buried her in a corner of Xu Ke’s murderous place.
Jiang Lei also signed the deed of betrayal and handed it over to Li.
Li accepted the contract of prostitution, but she did not regard the girl in front of her as a servant inferior to herself.
In the evening, Li also gave Jiang Lei a set of new clothes cut by someone.
First let her take a clean hot bath, change out of her dirty and torn clothes, and then have dinner with her.
Until early the next morning, Li originally wanted to teach Jiang Lei how to do housework at home after taking care of her two children.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she smelled the aroma of vegetables coming from the courtyard.
Jiang Lei, on the other hand, was busy back and forth in the kitchen skillfully and in an orderly manner, and she could not tell that she was just a teenage girl.
After eating, Li was surprised and found that Jiang Lei was actually much more capable than she thought.
Almost shared most of the housework for myself.
Do laundry and sweep the floor, buy groceries and cook, and mend clothes.
Ms. Li couldn't help but sigh that this girl had to endure so many hardships to be so precocious and sensible.
[Gaoming's destiny: He was destined to be a noble person, but he suffered backlash due to insufficient blessings. It is destined to be ten years of hardship, ten years of hardship, and ten years of wealth. 】
Xu Ke also observed this girl whose fate was obviously extraordinary at this time.
According to my own observation, the other party has a noble destiny, but because he has no corresponding merits and blessings as a foundation.
It's like a medical pot with a raging fire underneath, but the water in the pot has long been boiled dry.
This will not only make it difficult to boil a pot of soup, but may burn the entire pot.
That’s why she was in trouble when she was young, and killed many relatives and friends who cared about her.
If there is no external force to join in, she will probably have bad luck for a few more years, and then she will soar into the sky and become unspeakably rich. But the price is that she may have to kill several more people, including the Li family, and may even implicate her own foundation in a dangerous place.
After thinking over and over again, Xu Ke also decided to step in to help her solve the matter.
The solution is also very simple.
Since the fire had dried up the water in the pot, he would either add water or put out the fire temporarily.
Xu Ke decided to take a two-pronged approach, first writing some articles in the grave of her adoptive mother where she was buried.
She recognized this woman as her mother, buried her, and came to pay homage every day. Therefore, fate has been connected with this mausoleum, protected by it, and also affected by it.
By changing Feng Shui, Jiang Lei will have no luck in wealth or marriage within ten years.
At the same time, unknown disasters are changed into tangible evil disturbances.
If this continues, at most she will see some dirty things in these years, but she will not be in danger of her life.
When her future disasters are over and blessings come, she will naturally achieve the destiny of 'Mrs. Gaoming'.
“I just don’t know whether the wife of Gaoming should be in her husband or her son.”
Since she is destined to become Mrs. Gaoming in the future, it means that her future husband or husband Son, one of them can become a high official.
After all, those who can be called ‘gaoming’ are at least the family members of officials above fifth rank.
…………
“Brothers, let’s go ashore and find an inn to rest today.”
Li Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around to look at Several people following him.
I am already a second-level practitioner, and my physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. I feel extremely tired during this period of escape.
These are the bodies of ordinary people, and most of them are disabled. It is not easy for them to survive until today.
Since they broke through the siege half a month ago, they went down the river and fled to the end of the world.
The few remaining survivors became friends and supported each other.
Several people take Li Sheng as the core and completely obey Li Sheng's orders.
I just hope that I can save my life on the way to escape, so that I can be redressed in the future and see my parents, wife and children again.
But since yesterday, I haven’t been able to rest due to a long-term unbalanced diet, excessive fatigue, and fear.
As a result, the remaining people on the ship fell ill on the ship.
If they continue to escape, I am afraid that the people following Li Sheng will all die of illness on the ship.
So Li Sheng made the idea to take a few people ashore to find a remote and deserted place to have a good rest.
At least recuperate your body, and then find a way to continue wandering and escaping.
So the six of them parked the boat on the river bank, with Li Sheng leading the way.
The remaining five people supported each other, and the one with one missing leg used a stick as a crutch, reluctantly following behind Li Sheng.
A few people wanted to quickly find a populated place where they could exchange their money for some dry food, wine and medicinal materials.
It is best to cook a bowl of hot porridge, take a hot bath, eat and drink enough, and then have a good sleep.
But they are also afraid that the place they go to is too busy, crowded with people, and their faces will be recorded.
If someone discovers the suspect on their wanted warrant, they will be surrounded by a large group of officers and soldiers.
When the time comes, these old, weak, sick and disabled people will not be able to escape even if they have wings.
Soon, a small town came into view of the six people, with rows upon rows of neatly-looking houses.
From the outside, this town is not small, and there are almost no dilapidated houses.
Obviously a relatively wealthy town.
But they seemed to have arrived at the wrong time, it was already evening.
No one is outside, and only the chirping of cicadas can be heard in the silent streets.
