Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Ever since he knew that the young master had sued the imperial court and the king of Yizhou had rebelled against him in October, he let go of half of his worries.

Later, when he found out that King Yizhou had died on the battlefield, the old case thirteen years ago was completely uncovered, and the rest of his mind was gone.

Afterwards, he lost the will to survive, and kept on just wanting to see the old lady and elder brother, to make sure it was true.

After that, he has been in a daze. He felt that he would not live to celebrate the New Year, but he felt that it would be too unlucky to die during the New Year.

Although he was just a servant, it would be too unlucky to die in the mansion, so he kept his breath.

As a result, yesterday when the elder brother told him that the young master and Miss Man were engaged, he felt light and light. He knew that the time had come.

The servants who had been taking care of him also noticed it, and hurriedly invited Mrs. Liu.

Man Bao took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to feel his pulse, after a while, she withdrew her hand, and shook her head with everyone sadly.

Daji's eyes became hot, he suppressed tears, stepped forward and hugged Erji's upper body, let him see Bai Shan and Zhou Man, he whispered: "Master and Miss Man are here to see you."

Er Ji slightly opened his eyes to look at Bai Shan and Zhou Man, his eyes paused on Bai Shan for a long time, he murmured "Young Master", and then slowly rolled his eyes to look at Zhou Man, after a while, he He said "I'm sorry" in a low voice.

Man Bao shook his head slightly, and whispered: "I don't blame you, my parents' death is not your fault."

Er Ji twitched the corners of his mouth, seemed a little happy, and his spirit immediately went down. He leaned even softer on his elder brother's arms, his voice was barely audible, "I, I want to go home..."

Daji nodded with tears in his eyes, "Brother will send you back to Longzhou, don't worry..."

Erji felt relieved, exhaled a long breath, and slowly closed his eyes...

Man Bao felt for his pulse with shaking hands, and shook his head at Daji with tears in his eyes after a while.

There was a low cry in the house.

Both Bai Shan and Man Bao's eyes were reddened, and at the same time they were in a daze. It was the first time they had seen someone who died of such an illness.

The last time I saw death was when an assassin came to assassinate them...

But the deaths of those people didn't make them feel too uncomfortable, this time it was completely different.

The two stared blankly at Erji on the bed.

Mrs. Liu was already mentally prepared, and she wiped her eyes sadly. She turned her head and said to Nanny Liu, "Bring the shroud prepared for him, and let him go away properly."

Grandma Liu responded with tears in her eyes, turned around and left.

Man Bao and Bai Shan stood aside, tears streaming down their eyes, shoulders twitching and weeping silently.

Everyone was crying, but no one yelled loudly. Nanny Liu took the shroud, Daji wiped his eyes and said to everyone, "Go out, I'll change his clothes."

Man Bao stretched out his hand to lead Bai Shan out, and the two of them stood silently on the porch, feeling sore and astringent in their hearts, feeling that even their mouths had become bitter.

Mrs. Liu turned her head and saw the two were crying all the time, so she pulled them towards her, wiped their tears with a handkerchief and said, "It's not a bad thing, he lived too hard, and when he died, he left It's a sea of ​​bitterness."

Man Bao and Bai Shan's tears fell even more fiercely.

Mrs. Liu touched Man Bao's head, her eyes could not help but fell on the empty sky, it seemed to be cold today, and there was still some sunshine in the morning, but now the dark clouds blocked the whole sky, and at this time, it was just It was only after noon.

In the room, Daji dressed Erji in his shroud and tidied his hair before everyone went in to see him.

Mrs. Liu stood by the bed and looked at Erji, who was still peaceful, and said to Daji, "You can collect it at night, the coffin has already been prepared, don't worry."

Daji knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Liu, and Bai Shan stepped forward to pull him up.

In fact, there are not many things that require them to be busy. Erji has been ill for too long. When he arrived in Yizhou City last year, the doctor said it was not good, but he has persisted until now.

But Mrs. Liu was prepared, so everything was ready.

The servants silently set up a mourning hall in the main room of the side courtyard, because Er Ji was a servant and a younger generation, so he didn't intend to make a big deal of it.

Mrs. Liu stood in the yard watching for a while, then stretched out her hand to support Nanny Liu's hand and left slowly. Mrs. Zheng looked back at the room where Er Ji lived, and followed her mother-in-law silently.

For a moment, only Daji and Bai Shanmanbao were left in the room.

The three of them sat on the footrest together in a daze, and on the bed behind them lay the well-groomed Erji.

After being silent for a long time, Daji said calmly, "Master, I have to send him back to his hometown. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the capital with the young master."

Bai Shan asked: "Whether by land or by water?"

They will go the same way by land, and they will separate by water, but the water is faster and more convenient.

Longzhou is still north of the capital, and it takes another two days to walk. If you go by land, even if the weather is cold now, the corpse will still smell after ten days.

Daji said: "Waterway."

Bai Shan nodded and said, "I will tell my grandmother to prepare more ice for you."

Daji's tears almost came down, he stood up and was about to kneel down, Bai Shan hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Daji, you are different from Erji, I have never seen you as servants, you and my father, and you and my father I live and die together, originally, my father let go of your books..."

So you are not a servant.

Daji said: "After I settle down at home, I'll go find the young master and Miss Man."

Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded, and the three of them continued to sit on the pedals in a daze, looking back at Er Ji on the bed from time to time.

After a person dies, it is best to wait for half a day before concentrating. Some wealthy families may have to wait a day and a night before collecting them.

It is because some people are suspended animation, they just hold their breath, even doctors can't tell, and they may come back to life at any time.

But as a servant, Daji knows that they don't have this preferential treatment. Basically, they are buried directly in a coffin after death. For some big families, unless they are particularly embarrassing, they will be wrapped in straw mats before they die. If you want to move out, otherwise it would be too unlucky to die in the house.

It's still alive, let alone dead.

The collection of coffins is basically done by the servants' own people. Those who have money buy coffins, and those who don't have money can wrap them in straw mats and bury them.

Not to mention transporting coffins all the way home. It costs more to transport one coffin back to the hometown than to pull ten carts.

Daji got up and twirled the quilt for Erji. Although his face was pale at the moment and he probably couldn't feel the cold, he still covered him.

He couldn't help but ask Man Bao, "Miss Man, if Erji's injury is treated by you now, can it be cured?"

Man Bao thought for a while and then shook his head, "I don't know if I can be cured in the future, but it's definitely not possible now."
