Chapter 577: Being a Naughty Child in Troubled Times 40
I didn't expect that this guy could get up and move around after just two days. He stood in a very relaxed position, looking like nothing had happened. If I didn't know the extent of his injuries, I would have thought he had just had some skin scraped off.
When the guy saw them, he came up to them and greeted them one by one.
Then, looking embarrassed, he said, "Well, Master Xiao, Mrs. Xiong, I heard you guys are going to the county first. I wonder if I can get a ride. I'm embarrassed to ask my cousin to find someone to take me there, but I do need to register at the county school first, otherwise people might think I don't want this job anymore."
Of course Gun Gun and Xiao Bao would not refuse. It was just a matter of convenience, and there was indeed room available.
In fact, they had already sold the mule cart to the village. Wang Tianning and Dunzi drove the cart and took them to the county railway station and then came back.
Xiao Bao had been treating their injuries for two days, so he was somewhat familiar with him, so the conversation was lively along the way and they could find a topic to chat from time to time.
Xiao Yun secretly observed this person while listening to what they said. He learned some information from his words that his dead comrades would be buried here and would be buried tomorrow afternoon. In addition to fulfilling his work today, he also had to advance some money to buy some funeral supplies.
Forget about returning to one's roots. It's summer now and the body can't be kept for long. It needs to be buried in three days at most. We can only bury it here and keep it simple.
It is said that Wang Ganyun helped find a place with good feng shui for the cemetery, and also erected a tombstone so that their family members can come and pay their respects whenever they have time.
Xiao Yun was puzzled. Aren't these people supposed to evacuate? Could it be that they were just leaving the three provinces and staying in the northern province would be fine? Didn't they say they were going to retreat to their base?
Of course, I couldn't ask these questions out loud, as that would expose me as eavesdropping.
I guess the other party changed his mind at the last minute. Anyway, it’s none of her business.
However, when Xiao Yun heard Yu Hui talk about the location of the cemetery tunnel, he was still stunned. It seemed that his original body's parents were buried there.
She knew that Wang Ganyun helped her original body's parents to bury the body, and she also knew where it was buried and even erected a tombstone.
However, the souls of the original body's parents were immediately sent to reincarnation through a special channel opened by Jiaduobao, so Xiao Yun did not go to pay homage to them.
The souls of these people should still be there. Although they have no merits or sins, they can probably report to the underworld and wait for reincarnation.
As for why these people can reincarnate without Jiaduobao's help, it is because Xiao Yun has been in this world for ten years, and the connection between the underworld and this side has been stabilized.
A passage has already been built between this world and the underworld, so there is no need for Jiaduobao to use a special passage to send the soul there as in the beginning.
These souls will leave this world and report to the underworld after the 49th day. Of course, they still have to wait for reincarnation, but it should be easier than for Xiao Yun and other old ghosts.
Because there is a high probability that they will be reincarnated in this world, and there is no family planning in this world, and there are not so many people who do not marry and have children. There are still relatively many newborns every year, although the survival rate of newborns is not high.
In this way, they arrived at the county town safely. When passing by the school, they dropped Yu Hui off and then sent them to the station.
After saying goodbye to Wang Tianning and Dunzi who came to see them off, Xiao Yun and the others carried their things into the station.
As for why he didn't go to find Fox Lao San, Fox Lao San had long left the county. He was promoted along with County Magistrate Zhao last year. The reason was those little squashes.
Because he caught those squashes and prevented their conspiracy from succeeding, he made a great contribution. With Lao Hei's help, he was transferred directly to the city. If he continues to perform well, the next step will be the provincial capital.
The current county magistrate here is a new one. He was previously served by a deputy county magistrate. His surname is Lin.
That’s right, he is related to Commander Lin and is his cousin. He must be here to gild his reputation and will have to leave soon.
This place is governed very well by County Chief Zhao, and with the foundation left by Lao Hei, being a county chief here is the safest and there is no need to worry about any accidents.
……
The train hasn't arrived yet and there's no specific time, so an hour or so late is fine.
It's worth mentioning that this train came from the Three Provinces, starting in A City and ending in Ping City, the future capital. However, this railway wasn't built by foreigners. Ten years ago, the Xiao family led the Chamber of Commerce from the Three Provinces and jointly funded the construction with the Northern Province. It wasn't officially opened until the spring of the third year, so it's been more than six years now.
Even after the two sides fell out, no one thought of touching the railway, and they would avoid such important facilities. In addition to the Xiao family's threat that anyone who touched it would die, there was also the reason of preserving it for their own convenience.
……
Less than half an hour later, the whistle of the train was heard. Everyone on the platform said that they were lucky today as they were not late.
Xiao Yun was stunned when he squeezed into the train with the crowd. He had previously thought that the trains in the 50s were already rudimentary and uncomfortable enough to sit on, but now he realized that compared to this, it was nothing.
The train seats now are made of wood, like the benches in the park, with a large gap in the middle.
Once you get into the sleeper car, you will be amazed. The sleeper is a big bunk bed. You heard it right, it is a big bunk bed. There is a big bed on one side of the car except for the aisle. Everyone lies on it without any partition from beginning to end.
If everyone hadn't consciously separated the boys and girls, with a child sandwiched in the middle, it would have been really embarrassing.
Although people in the north are used to sleeping on a big kang with their families in winter, it is still a bit awkward to lie together with strangers.
Xiao Yun and the others lay on both sides in silence. Xiao Erhei followed Xiao Bao, and the three women were together.
Lying on the berth, everyone started to communicate with each other, and the content was all about regret. They should have bought hard seats earlier, at least there would not be such a strong smell.
In the hot summer, everyone takes off their shoes. Just imagine the smell of stinky feet, the bad breath, the sweat and body odor. It's terrible.
They all automatically blocked their sense of smell, otherwise they would not be able to stay there.
Oh, right. I forgot to mention that Aunt Wang, Lamei, and Uncle Liu didn't leave with them. After all, they were from Wangjia Village.
