"Almost killed?"

"Most reincarnated people are orphans?"

Hu Ma was inexplicably shocked by the last few words left by this reincarnated person.

When I wanted to ask again, she had already exited the connection.

But this also triggered a lot of speculation on his part: the first reincarnated person had warned him about the importance of keeping his secrets.

The second reincarnated person I met now also revealed to me some issues of mutual trust among reincarnated people in this world, as well as problems with their "relatives" in this world.

Listening to their words always reveals the cruelty, even cruelty, of this world, intentionally or unintentionally.

Now, in the wider world, what kind of relationship have they become?

In particular, he thought about some of the worlds this woman talked about, and what the first reincarnated person codenamed Erguotou said to him. Most of the others seemed to have been directly reincarnated into this world, and it seemed that he remembered it all at once. Things from past lives.

Even in this situation, he would be crushed to death with a stone mill without mercy by his own biological father?

This world can even accept Granny Huai helping those children who died to be reincarnated as human beings, but it cannot accept these reincarnations who have awakened the memories of their previous lives?

On the contrary, I feel more like seizing my body in comparison, but my mother-in-law seems to accept me...

It seems that the problem of reincarnation is far more complicated than I thought.

It's a pity that this mysterious reincarnated person seemed to be emotionally aroused and unwilling to talk to him any more.

"Go back first!"

Early the next morning, the second master, who was in a heavy mood, spoke to Hu Ma.

He also negotiated with the old shopkeeper, and unexpectedly discovered that although these noble people from the city were very arrogant, they were actually quite easy to talk to.

As a guide, I did not lead them to find what they wanted. In fact, the work was not completed, and I even gave up halfway, which delayed others' work. However, the old shopkeeper also gave me a reward of three taels of silver.

In this way, we can end the trip in advance and help Hu Ma send her mother-in-law back to Dayangzhai.

"It's a big deal for fallen leaves to return to their roots. A good person like my mother-in-law, who helped so many people during her lifetime, must be buried in an old fire pond after her death..."

Helping Hu Ma collect her mother-in-law's body and wrap it layer by layer with black cloth, the second master looked very heavy.

Hu Ma knew in her heart the whereabouts of her mother-in-law, but the second master did not know. He was obviously really sad.

Since her mother-in-law's instructions were as they were, Hu Ma would not raise any objection, but just thought about it silently in her heart.

People in this world attach great importance to the return of fallen leaves to their roots, and the second master felt that it was a very important thing to let the mother-in-law enter the old fire pond.

But according to my mother-in-law, the Hu family came from outside, and they mentioned some kind of "ancestral temple." Could it be that the Hu family actually has something like "Lao Huotangzi" outside?

The background of this identity is far more complicated than I thought.

However, for me now, there is no use thinking about these things, I'd better cure myself first.

At that moment, Hu Ma and Er Ye calmed down their mother-in-law, thanked the group of people from the city, and set off home together.

Originally, Hu Ma planned to carry her mother-in-law on his back, but the second master was worried that he could not bear it, so he cut the vines into ropes and carried her mother-in-law on his back. He sighed to Hu Ma: "Your mother-in-law just wants you to maintain a good body and start a family."

, you have to listen to him..."

"Now that the evil spirits sent by your family's enemies have been dealt with by your mother-in-law, you don't have to seal the stove anymore..."

"Or, after you go back, come with me to the Blood Food Mine to earn some money, and I'll see whose daughter is good enough to be your wife?"

"..."

Hu Ma sounded a little helpless.

Even though the second master is a boy of sixty years, he is actually quite enthusiastic about these things...

There were a lot of people there when we arrived, and the forest seemed more normal.

When we went there, there were only two people, one corpse and one ghost, so the forest was deep and strange. Although Hu Ma was in a heavy mood, he still felt that there were rustling and rustling in the forest from time to time.

Deep in the forest, there seemed to be many things peeking at me. Occasionally, I turned my head and saw a familiar tree stump, quietly falling behind a clump of trees, as if there was a figure with a wide robe and big sleeves.

Sit on it and watch yourself quietly.

He was not happy at all, but he was also angered by this sneakiness, and angrily took out the machete on his back.

Normally, that's all, he was afraid of the mysterious things in the mountains.

But now if something dares to provoke me, then I will bring out the fire in the furnace and have a fight with them.

"Don't panic..."

But when the second master saw her, he stretched out his hand to hold Hu Ma's shoulders and whispered: "Your mother-in-law is a ghost."

"Ghost walkers not only help people, but also help the spirits in the forest."

"Those things are not here to harm you, they are here to give your mother-in-law a ride."

"..."

Hearing this, Hu Ma put away the machete and took a few steps forward before reacting.

He turned around and bowed slowly towards the disappearing tree stump.

The surrounding trees and grass suddenly rustled, and vague shadows could be seen, vague and uncertain. They bowed and cupped their hands, as if they were returning the favor to themselves with emotion.

…

On this return trip, Hu Ma should have seen, or in other words, sensed the most evil spirits since he came to this world, but this journey was extremely smooth.

He and the second master spent a day and a half rushing back to Dayangzhai.

The people in the village didn't know yet, but the old patriarch led a donkey and had just dug two large baskets of earthen eggs and drove them back to the village from the field.

When I saw two figures, one tall and one short, from a distance, I was immediately startled. I led the donkey and walked a few steps quickly:

"Why are you back?"

"Didn't I tell you that I should serve the nobles from the city well? Is this because I offended someone and was driven back?"

"..."

"Your Majesty is not dissatisfied and has paid me the wages."

The second master looked at the old patriarch, and his voice was choked with sobs as soon as he spoke: "Brother, I also found my mother-in-law."

"She is gone."

"..."

"ah?"

The old patriarch was dissatisfied just now, but he was shocked when he heard this. He stared blankly at the human figure wrapped in black cloth behind the second master.

After a long time, his legs became weak and he trembled forward: "Poor mother-in-law..."

A cry of grief immediately spread throughout the village. People nearby rushed over one after another. When they heard that the mother-in-law had passed away, they all shed tears and helped her back to the main room of Hema's house, pulling white cloth and hemp rope.

, covered with flax.

The second master asked Hu Ma to keep a vigil for his mother-in-law in the main room, and asked the old patriarch to camp here while he went out with his sickle and rope.

He was going out to cut down the wood for his mother-in-law to burn her corpse.

According to the custom in the village, dead people are not placed in coffins unless there are some special problems.

Ordinary families prepare specific wood for burning corpses, and the blood debts are carried by the enemies into the old fire pond, so the wood for burning corpses is the most important thing.

The better the family, the better and more wood they use to burn corpses, the more dignified the funeral will be.

Hu Ma didn't expect that not long after the second master set off, the neighbors who heard the bad news also rushed over.

They were usually afraid of their own home. Not only did they not dare to talk to them, they even hid from their mother-in-law when they saw her. But now, they rushed over one after another.

It's time to cry and mourn. There are people carrying dry firewood one by one, but it's the same as the second master went out to cut down. The most dignified funeral in Dayangzhai is to burn corpse wood.

There is no need to prepare it at home, but neighbors can make it one by one.

This means being respected.

"Mother-in-law, I was ignorant before, so my old lady is here to help you with your sins..."

Unexpectedly, not only the neighbors came over, but even the old lady from the Cui family came over with her family.

Hu Ma didn't recognize the Cui family at first, but it was among them that she saw Cui Xie'er behind the crowd, and then she understood. As soon as the Cui family's old lady entered the main room, she burst into tears and reprimanded her family in front of everyone.

Children and grandchildren who were ignorant at first.

The old patriarch came over to persuade her, and the Cui family's grandma immediately stopped talking and sat under the shed outside, drinking tea with others.

The eldest son of the Cui family, a man who has gone through many changes in his fifties, also led his brothers to kowtow in front of the mother-in-law hall:

"My family was not sensible back then. Mother-in-law, please don't be offended. I'm giving you a ride today."

"..."

After crying, he got up and talked to the villagers around him. He looked up and saw a pile of hard firewood piled up in front of the coffin. A man in his forties next to Boss Cui frowned and said, "What are you doing? I should give it to my mother-in-law."

It’s important to prepare the best coffin!”

Suddenly, the entire mourning hall became quiet. Everyone looked up in surprise and looked at the second son of the Cui family.

"Cui Laoer, what did you say?"

The old patriarch outside also heard this, his face suddenly changed, he rushed into the hall and shouted:

"My mother-in-law has been working hard for our Dayang Village all her life, shouldn't she go to Lao Huotang?"

"..."

The second eldest son of the Cui family frowned and waved his hand, while the eldest son of the Cui family hurriedly grabbed the old patriarch and said with a smile: "Uncle, please don't be angry."

"Come on, let's go out and talk."

"..."

The old patriarch frowned and was surrounded by the Cui brothers and left the mourning hall. Several elders in the room saw this and followed him out.

Hu Ma didn't say a word, but he saw everything, and anger rose in his heart.
