Chapter 287 (1/2)
Oh, oh, finally, we have finished all the rituals in front of us, and we have reached the last stage of burial! Xia Ying suddenly realized.
How could she sleep so long!
She quickly turned her head a little. She looked at Gu Tuo, who was still holding her head high in front of her, and then looked at the children gathered around her. She knew that they had built a steel wall for her with their bodies, and thus gained a moment of freedom in this small world.
How nice of them!
Xia Ying is warm in the heart, and she yawns quietly. Seeing the army standing up, she quickly gets up.
In a twinkling of an eye, she is a daughter-in-law of the family who is mourning with Gu Tuo!
The grave had been dug long ago, and the twenty-four coffins were lifted together and put into the pit together. The young man who carried the coffin once again waved a spade to bury the coffin and sealed it up.
Then, twenty-four tombstones were erected.
In the blink of an eye, there are so many new tombstones in the graveyard, which looks like a forest of monuments.
When the tombstone is finished, Gu Tuo kneels down again.
”Grandfather, second grandfather, third grandfather, father, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle...” He read them one by one, ”you're home!”
The patriarch and others knelt down again.
After that, Gu Tuo took out the notice issued by Huangzhi county and read it to them word by word.
His voice was not big, but his words were clear and penetrating.
Every word came out of his mouth, and was immediately carried to the cemetery by the warm wind of early summer, which also made everyone at the scene hear it clearly.
After reading it, Gu Fucai burned the notice written by Governor Huang himself. Then he bent down and knocked his head three times.
”Grandfather, you uncles and brothers, Gu Tuo is unfilial. Now I can let you go home and rest. But the good news is that you are back. From today on, you can live here in peace of mind! I will guard you with my children
Under this situation, Xia Ying, who was originally an old God, was moved by Gu Tuo's sadness.
Now he really regards himself as Gu Tuo, comforting the dead of Gu Ji with Gu Tuo's identity.
As soon as her eyes were sore, she also knelt down with Gu Tuo.
Not to mention others. The old patriarch was crying again, but this time he didn't have to rub the ginger handkerchief into his eyes.
After kneeling down, Gu Tuo helps Xia Ying to stand up.
He raised his head and looked around the villagers behind him as well as his relatives and friends who came to offer their condolence. He said in a loud voice: ”thank you very much for coming to give us a journey to Gu Ji's ancestors. Gu is here to thank you!”
He clasped his hands, bowed and bowed, and his attitude was extremely sincere.
Everyone paid back.
When the funeral ceremony was over and the time had come, the army was able to return to the village.
At this time, Gu Tuo's family had already set up a banquet. The banquet was handed over to Gu Changwu's family.
