Chapter 124 Funeral Rituals (3)
Zhao Xi'er stretched out her hand and gently opened the door, and the room was pitch black.But she could feel that Ling Qianjue was still in the room.Suddenly a figure walked towards him.

"Qian Jue." Zhao Xi'er looked at the blurry figure opposite.

"Well, don't be afraid...it's me." Ling Qianjue reached out to hold Zhao Xier's hand.If he could hold her hand all his life like this, and when she needed him, he could come to her side when he called him softly, that would be great.He hoped that this trip to Beiyan would surprise him.

In the room of the three old ladies.

The third old lady was lying on the bed, half-sitting against the wall, but she couldn't close her eyes no matter what.Her Ni'er doesn't know that she is on the way to the underworld right now, is she lonely?

Is her Nier cold?
Her Ni'er told her to burn more money for her, but she hasn't burned it yet, so when she must send her out tomorrow, she must remember to burn more money.

"Mother...then we have agreed, after Nier is gone, you are not allowed to be sad anymore."

"Mother, it is already a gift from God that I can come back to see you again. Mother... In the next life, mother, my daughter will still be your daughter. Do you still want Nier?"

"Mother has no future."

"Mother... the poison on my body won't last tonight."

"Mother, mother... Nier is wrong, Nier shouldn't come back... It's wrong... It's wrong... It's wrong."

"Mother... Back then, it was also my fault that Nier hid it from Mother. The poison in Nier's body... Mother, Nier won't live long, and Nier wants to eat the glutinous rice noodles made by Mother."

"Mom, I've had a good life. I've missed you for decades. I don't know if you're too lonely outside? I'm afraid you'll have asthma at night, and there's no one around you. You can't care about yourself for a while, but what should you do?" manage?"

"Mother...Mother, I'm fine, I'm just tired from running."

"Mother...it's not a dream, it's me, it's your Nier. I miss you...Mother..."

"Yes... yes... yes yes, I am your daughter, your Nier, mother... it is me... it is Nier."

The third old lady stretched out her hand to touch the face she missed day and night.But it was broken into thousands of pieces in an instant.Between the fingers, there is nothing but the cold air.

It was just getting brighter.

Zhao Xi'er was about to get up and go outside to make breakfast. Someone should come later.Yesterday, she didn't bother to ask Zhou Youjin what to do today?

"Go back to sleep, you haven't fallen asleep all night." Ling Qianjue, who was sitting cross-legged on a quilt on the floor and practicing, felt a little heartbroken when he saw Zhao Xi'er sitting up on the bed.

"Well, no. Someone should come later, right? I sent Aunt Yuni out today, and my mother-in-law. I don't know how she is?" Zhao Xi'er reached out and picked up the coat on the bedside and put it on her body. When you put your feet down, you have to bend over to put on your shoes.

"I'll help you." Seeing Zhao Xi'er's tired look, Ling Qianjue blamed himself even more.He is a man, but he can only hide in this room, watching her busy outside, but he can't do anything, can't help anything.

"You?" Zhao Xi'er was stunned when she heard Ling Qianjue's words.After she reacted, she saw Ling Qianjue squatting in front of her, putting shoes on her feet.

In Zhao Xi'er's sad heart, because of the man squatting in front of her, who was holding a shoe and gently putting it on her foot, a gleam of happiness rose.

"Well, put it on, you have to pay attention to your emotions. The poison on your body can't fluctuate too much." Ling Qianjue put Zhao Xi'er's shoes on, stood up, stretched out a hand to pull Zhao Xi'er who was sitting on the bed , still exhorting worriedly in his mouth.

"Yeah, I know." Zhao Xi'er was unbearably docile, put her hand on Ling Qianjue's palm, and followed his hand to stand up.

"Okay, it's time for me to go out." Looking at the big hand that was still holding her firmly, Zhao Xi'er urged softly.

"En." Ling Qianjue let go of his hand despite his reluctance, allowing Zhao Xi'er to withdraw her little hand.

"I'm going out, it may be later before I can deliver food to you, if you are hungry..."

"I'm not hungry, go quickly. If I'm hungry, I'll find something to eat by myself. You know... I come and go without a trace." Ling Qianjue originally wanted to say that he didn't need to eat, but seeing Zhao Xier The haggard complexion changed.

"Well, okay, I'm really leaving this time." Zhao Xi'er forced a faint smile on her face, turned around and left the room.

Zhao Xi'er went out of the room and went to the third old lady's room first. She just stretched out her hand to lift the door curtain, but saw that the third old lady was already dressed neatly, with her snowy hair combed up on her head, without any decoration.

"Grandma... you're up." Zhao Xi'er put down the curtain in her hand, and walked towards the third old lady in white who was sitting on the stool.

When the third old lady heard Zhao Xi'er's voice behind her, she turned to look at Zhao Xi'er: "Girl, why don't you sleep more?"

"It's getting late, please sit down for a while. Xi'er goes out to make breakfast. When Uncle Jin comes over later, ask him how to arrange things for Aunt Yuni. There are still things... the coffin... where Aunt Yuni put it What? I don’t even understand.” Yesterday was too hasty, Zhao Xi’er actually forgot all of these.

"Well... how did you go through this kind of thing? Didn't even the old woman mess up her hands and feet yesterday? Don't worry, Yu Nier will only go out at night. Let Jinwa'er ask someone to help you go to the town to buy things this morning. It's gone." The third old lady said, reaching out to pick up a blue cloth bag on the table and handing it to Zhao Xi'er behind her.

"Girl... There are 50 taels of silver here, I think it should be enough. You take it and ask Jinwa to buy it."

"No...no need, mother-in-law, Xi'er has money." Zhao Xi'er pushed the money handed over by the third old lady to her. These should be the money she had saved her whole life, how could she use it.

"Girl, your silver is still useful, but the old lady's is useless. Take it. Don't refuse anymore, don't you treat your mother-in-law as a family?" The attitude of the third old lady was also very tough.

Zhao Xi'er looked at the third old lady looking at her with non-consulting eyes, knowing that it would be a waste of time to say anything else, so she reached out to take it.

"Mother-in-law, Xi'er is going out first."

"Go." The third old lady looked at Zhao Xi'er, who obviously had a bad face, and she still dragged the girl down.

Zhao Xi'er turned around, walked out of the third old lady's room, and went into the kitchen.Thinking that someone would come to help later, he put down a large pot of rice, scooped up a large pot of water, and was about to set it on fire.

"Xi'er...quickly open the door." Zhang Xing'er patted the courtyard door which was still closed tightly. Could it be that Xi'er hasn't gotten up yet?
Zhao Xi'er, who was about to light the fire, heard Zhang Xing'er's voice outside the courtyard gate.Quickly put down the fire primer, and said to the outside of the courtyard: "Here, here we are." While responding, he ran towards the gate of the courtyard at a jog.
