Shuilian and Shitou didn't know how to describe their feelings on the way to the cemetery. The thing that the old lady and the old man had been thinking about was about to come true, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they were excited. Going back with a living person would be another scene.

"Hey, every family has been poor all these years, and no one has set up a tombstone. The close relatives of the Qi family have disappeared all these years. I don't know how deserted this ancestral grave is. At the beginning, we were still able to help Burn some paper money, these years..., oh, don't mention it..."

It was only when she got there that Shui Lian knew what the Qi family's ancestral graves looked like. No wonder the man sighed all the way.

Some of the crooked tombstones were even smashed, leaving a pile of broken stones, and some of the graves were almost wiped out. It is almost impossible to see that there were people buried in this place. Moreover, it was full of devastation. She and Shishi both believed that the war took place in this place.

No wonder that person comforted them so much just now. It is estimated that no one has come here for many years. The weeds on the grave can cover the height of the siblings.

Qi Lei sighed while watching, "Fortunately, my grandpa and the others didn't come over. If they saw their ancestral grave turned into this, they wouldn't cry..."

When she arrived at Qi Boyuan's son's grave, Shui Lian felt an indescribable sense of desolation. The gates of the tomb had collapsed, and the tombstone was supposed to be replaced by wood. Where did it go, but the remaining half buried in the soil was still swaying in the wind.

Seeing this, her heart couldn't help but ache. If Mrs. Qi saw her son's tomb turned into this, she didn't know why she would be heartbroken.

The man who brought them here also felt that the place was a bit desolate, and was busy helping the stones and water lilies to burn the weeds nearby.

The siblings knelt in front of the grave and solemnly kowtowed three times to the uncle they had never met.

"Uncle, do you see if this is possible? My grandparents are getting old, and it is impossible to come here to preside over the grave personally. We will pay for it. You can help find some people to help restore the grave during this time." Even my uncle's grave should be repaired, after all, my uncle is considered a martyr.

We can't let the martyrs suffer this kind of treatment even if they bleed and sacrifice for us. Regardless of whether there are spirits or not, we living people should do something even if we want to warm our hearts.

Don't worry, we will pay for the labor force, and you can pay for what you need. If it is not enough, we will return it later. I guess we can rush over to pay respects after you finish repairing. Our siblings still have something to do If you want to do it, you can't stay here for too long..."

When the man saw the money handed over by the Shui Lian siblings, even he himself was a little stunned. No one thought that the two children who were dressed so ordinary would spend so much money.

Seeing the man stunned, Shui Lian thought it was not enough.

"Uncle, I only have so much on me. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you later."

The man shook his head in embarrassment, and took out part of the money, "These are enough for us, you two still have things to do, don't even have the travel expenses, the filial piety of the two of you can be given to your ancestor's grave... ..."

Shui Lian smiled and took out part of the money in her hand and handed it to the man, "Uncle, these are for your hard work. No matter what, it will waste your time. We are both young and really don't understand funeral customs. , you can help us prepare some things when the time comes, just borrow your stove to make some sacrifices for my uncle and ancestors."

Having said all this, the man took the money happily, and no one had any reason to be against the money, but he had made a plan in his heart, and he would definitely help and supervise those people in their work later on.

Because of the rush of time, the siblings said goodbye directly and continued to go south.

I thought it would take some time to find the youngest son of the Qi family on the way, but I didn't expect this accident to be solved in one go, so this time saved a lot of time compared to the schedule.

The two brothers and sisters are on the road, which is called a relief.

"Sister, don't we have to transport uncle's bones back?"

Shui Lian shook her head, "Let him continue to stay here. Maybe grandpa and the others would like to come back for burial after a hundred years. After all, this is their hometown. Let's take some soil from uncle's grave back when we turn back. This is also grandma's." Just thought about it."

When the siblings stood on the edge of the Pearl River, looking at the river in front of them, Shitou couldn't help but sigh, "This is the river our mother swam over?"

Shui Lian sighed and nodded, "It seems to be, but look at this river, a woman swims past, I really can't imagine what the result will be.

At present, we can only pray that she is still alive. I heard from people around me that this river also drowned many young people who were going to swim across it. Alas, ten years of catastrophe..."

Originally, she wanted to express her feelings, but seeing that there were other people around her, she could only swallow the rest of her words.

After all, now is not the time to speak boldly.

Qi Lei gazed into the distance, tried his best to see everything on the other side clearly, really hoped that his biological mother would be standing on the shore, so that their trip would not be in vain.

Seeing her younger brother's disappointed expression, Shui Lian patted his arm. Now this guy is much taller than her, and she needs to hook her shoulders hard.

"Shitou, we should go, we still have business to do..."

Qi Lei looked away reluctantly, his obsidian eyes also lost the brilliance of the past, his handsome face was full of reluctance and nostalgia at this moment.

"Sister, when can we go over there to find our mother? I really want to swim there to see what's going on in my heart."

Shui Lian quickly grabbed his hand, "Be careful, you guy, there are still people around. If someone hears and reports to the higher authorities, the two of us will not be taken away. Let's go with sister. We will return to this place in the future." Will be back."

She was worried that her younger brother was saying something else, or doing something astonishing, if she really jumped into the river, what would she do.

I have already quietly inquired about the trading market here before. To be honest, it is no wonder that later generations will become a small window for reform. The black market here is much more prosperous than theirs, buying gold and silver. That is naturally out of the question.

The siblings went to a few stores, and after inquiring about the prices, they finally chose a shop whose owner was an elderly man. He thought that the old man was at least not so bad, but when he fought against the old man, Shui Lian and Shi Shi felt that the two of them were really looking good, and this old guy was actually the most cunning,

Shi Shi's face was gloomy, and his face, which was originally still young, instantly brought an aura that should not be underestimated.

"Old man, you are not kind. We thought that a person of your age would leave a three-point bottom line in life and things. You always lose the bottom line. Forget it. Since the business can't be done, I don't want to say more , Sister, let's go, this is not the only one doing business..."

The old man was not tall and chubby, and at first he gave off the impression of a Maitreya Buddha, but after getting to know him, he realized that he was obviously a smiling tiger, and Shi Shi also noticed the flash of light in his eyes.

Seeing that Shitou and Shuilian were about to go out, he quickly stopped them.

"Don't, this business is not benevolent. After talking about bargaining, there must be a process. How much do you have in your hands, children? If you have more, I can give you a higher price."

Shui Lian raised her head and glanced at him, this person can only be a one-shot deal, and seeing the incomprehensible light jumping in his eyes, the siblings felt more guarded.

Shi Shi sneered, "Old man, you think that we are digging gold mines. It's just something left by our ancestors. The family is eager to use the money, so we reluctantly part with each other. Otherwise, who would be willing to take out this little thing left by our ancestors?" selling.

Sister, take out what you have in your hand and sell it, grandpa is still waiting for the money..."

Shui Lian smiled and took out a bottle of gold sand, "Grandpa, there are only so many things, please give me a price, if it is not suitable, I think someone will be willing to offer a price that satisfies us."

A can of gold sand, the old man never dreamed that the siblings would be so rich when they made a move. At first he thought it was gold and silver jewelry. "

"Hey, how did you say that? It's my eyes that don't know Mount Tai. Alas, I'm still old and my eyes are clumsy. Little brother, since we've talked about this, let's pay according to the price you said... ..."

Shui Lian saw the old man impatiently taking the scale, and the two siblings looked at each other and smiled.

Qi Lei thinks that twins have an advantage, that they share the same mind, and he is really worried that his sister will give away so much at once, and this old man seems a little unreliable to him at first glance.

After the money and goods were cleared, the siblings quickly withdrew, and even the old man didn't pay much attention when he went out to see them off.

The two of them didn't stay here too long, Shi Shi pulled her away quickly.

"Sister, let's sell these for the time being, and change to another house in two days."

The two of them hid in a place where no one was around and entered the space, and looked outside without reassurance, for fear that someone would follow them out.

But as expected, there really was a guy with treacherous eyebrows and mouse eyes following behind. Seeing that Shuilian and the others suddenly disappeared, I was still a little puzzled.

"Why are these two brats running so fast, damn it, I made my trip for nothing..."

Shui Lian glanced at the situation outside with a wry smile, "I really didn't expect this old guy to be hiding a ghost, why would he want to rob us on the way."

Shitou was a little angry, "Sister, why don't we steal the gold sand back later, so that he dares to play our tricks, and I will let him lose his money."

Shui Lian nodded, "I'll deal with him later, we'll come over tomorrow..."

On the second day, the siblings dressed up in disguise, acted separately, and sold them door to door. After all, at this time, no one can afford such a large sum of money to buy things in their hands. Some, not too noticeable.
