In the evening, the whole Inn sleeps with their family.

The old lady went to bed early. Uncle Ma wandered somewhere. Gu Fei took out the rest of the sheepskin and several women sewed sheepskin jackets under the oil lamp.

It's getting colder and colder day by day. This coat will soon be used.

While sewing, Gu Fei secretly took some broken silver out and asked Chen Shi to sew them to the corner of their clothes. "I see that the road is becoming more and more unsafe. In case something happens, someone in the family is separated. It's better to have a little silver in hand than not. If they really want to be separated, we'll find a way to meet in Ping'an city."

Gu Sanlang came over and smiled, "sew more silver in my coat."

Chen patted him, "just in case, our family should be together."

In the garrison, Chen blew the oil lamp and let him sleep.

Everyone got up early and was planning to cook in the yard. The shopkeeper of this family was a fastidious person. They were not allowed to do it in the front yard and rushed all the people to the backyard.

While they were making breakfast, two guys of the inn came to the backyard to chop firewood and gossip.

A man said, "there are dead people on the corner, you know? I just went to see it."

The other shook his head and chopped down with an axe. "It's not strange. A few days ago, I heard that an old man died outside the town. He said he died of hunger."

The man waved his hand, "these two are not starving. A woman and a boy should be mother and son. It is said that they were killed, as if to rob food. There is a broken pot on the ground, and there is blood on the woman's head!"

As they talked, everyone who made breakfast in the backyard heard it. Lian'er, who was burning a fire, suddenly threw down the firewood in her hand and ran out crazy.

Qian scolded in the back: "dead girl, where are you going? You're crazy!"

Gu Fei ran out with Lin.

At this time, several men also reacted, looked at each other and walked out.

Gu Fei ran to the corner with lian'er and saw a broken iron pot on the ground. The iron pot was clean.

At the bottom of the wall lay two people.

The woman lay on her back with a blood hole in her forehead. The blood had already coagulated.

The boy sat against the wall with his neck tilted to one side and his face was blue and purple.

Their burdens were scattered on the ground, and several broken cotton padded jackets were exposed.

There are some scattered yellow on the bluestone floor, which looks like corn flour.

Lian'er rushed over and burst into a heart rending scream, "Niang -"

"Brother -"

Gu Fei bit his lips, tears flowing down silently.

The two people who were alive yesterday fell here in this posture today.

I thought I could live with corn flour, but I didn't know that corn flour has become a talisman.

Several men also came here and watched silently.

A nearby family opened the door and a woman stood at the door, "is this someone you know?"

"Hurry up and bury it. It's very unlucky to die here!"

Everyone was silent.

Lian'er fell on her mother and cried for a while. She climbed next to her brother and shook her brother's body. "Komatsu, wake up, wake up. My sister is coming. My sister will take you home."

The boy's head hung weakly to one side and shook with lian'er's actions.

Aunt Liu, the village head's mother-in-law, also followed. At this time, she sighed, walked forward and put her hand on lian'er's shoulder. "Daughter, your mother and brother have left. It's impossible. Human life in this world is not worth money."

"You'd better bury them quickly and don't let wild dogs eat them."
