In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

It’s already April in the blink of an eye.

As the Qingming Festival was approaching, Li Zheng thought about it again and again, and decided that one person from each family would go down the mountain to visit the graves of their ancestors.

Qingming Festival is a traditional festival, and they dare not forget it. Even if they risk being discovered, they still have to go down and burn three sticks of incense for their ancestors.

The two sisters Li Mianmian who had stayed at Li Zheng's house for four days were no exception. They had no choice but to leave.

In order to come to this mountain, not only did I get caught in the rain, but I didn't even see Song Hexuan's face. It was really a loss for both his wife and his troops.

No, after the two of them went down the mountain, Li San, who was hiding in the dark, immediately pulled out a luxury carriage.

"Miss, get in the car quickly."

"Getting into that shitty car is really bad luck for eight lifetimes..." Li Mianmian vented her anger dissatisfiedly.

Lily sat outside the carriage with a low eyebrow, not saying a word, but silently guarding the carriage.

The carriage drove forward slowly and stopped under a big tree.

Li Mianmian opened the curtain and saw a dilapidated thatched cottage on the roadside. Two lanterns with the word Yin Mansion were hanging on the door.

"Lily, let's go down and take a look." She ordered.

"Yes, ma'am."

Li Mianmian opened the curtain and jumped out of the car, standing at the door and knocking on the handle of the wooden door.

"Who is it?" The old woman inside came out and was stunned for a moment when she saw Li Mianmian, then a bright smile appeared on her face, "It's Miss Li, come on, come on, please come inside." After saying that, she hurriedly led the way. Li Mianmian walked inside.

"Ms. Li, you have tea."

"Yeah." Li Mianmian took the teacup in her hand, smelled the tea, and praised, "This tea is pretty good!"

When the old woman heard her complimenting her tea, she immediately smiled brighter and said, "Young lady, I don't mind it. It's already an honor for my old lady."

"Where's Li Lai, is he at home?"

"Oh, the young master is inside. Miss, please wait a moment. I will call him over right now."

Li Mianmian nodded and took a sip from the tea bowl in her hand. The tea tasted so sweet and refreshing that she couldn't help but take a few more sips.

After a moment, a tall and thin figure hurriedly came over.

"Little Cotton, why are you here without notifying me in advance?"

"Hmph, who cares? I'm here to see my second brother. Where is the second brother?"

Li came and looked around, "He's sleeping in the house."

"Why are you sleeping? Get up quickly and let's go home."

"What? Didn't you find the man of your dreams?"

"Get out!" Li Mianmian stood up and kicked him in the butt.

"Ouch, don't kick me, don't kick me, it hurts, my butt is going to be broken."

"I know it hurts but I still can't get up. I insist on asking for a beating. I insist on asking for a beating."

Li Lai rubbed his butt, got up from the ground, walked to her side, and took her hand, "Didn't you go to see Mr. Song? Why are you back again?"

"Don't talk about it. I stayed in that damn place for a few days without being seen by anyone. I couldn't eat well or sleep well. I had to share a room with Lily. The room was small and short, and our servants couldn't sleep there. None are that bad.”

"Hey, my eldest lady, when you go out, you think you are at your own home. It would be nice if you can get some sleep, but you are so picky."

"Hey, I'm so annoyed. I'm so annoyed. I'd better just stay at home. That's really not a human life."

"If you had realized this long ago, why did you suffer so much?"

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to find my second brother."

"I'll go with you. Anyway, I don't want to stay in this hellish place anymore."

"Okay, let's go, let's go home quickly. I feel like I'm getting rotten. I have to take a shower and change clothes." Li Mianmian took Li Lai and they walked towards Lijiazhuang.

Li San's carriage quickly arrived at the door and stopped.

Li Mianmian jumped out of the carriage and said, "Xiao Li, park the carriage in the stable and get it some grass to eat."

"Okay, miss."

……

"What, you said they're leaving?" Li Zheng and the others went to Wang Cuihua to collect paper money and share incense, and heard the news when they came back.

"Yes, you go out with your front feet, and they leave with their back feet. I saw them coming down the mountain with my own eyes. I said there is nothing wrong with them. It's not because you are suspicious."

"It's impossible." Li Zheng scratched his head in confusion and couldn't believe it.

"Oh, you old fool, do you care if people have problems? You are not from the government."

When Li Zheng heard what he said, his expression changed and he said nothing.

"I don't care. You took away one of my daughters-in-law because of your anger. You have to find a way to compensate me."

"I..." Li Zheng was so troubled by his wife that he didn't know what to say.

"Mom, look at our three brothers, which one seems to like that girl? Where did you get your daughter-in-law?" Shen Yan said helplessly.

"I don't care, maybe you two will develop feelings after being together for a long time?"

"How is that possible?" Shen He looked at his mother helplessly.

"Dad, don't be angry. Maybe it's just a coincidence this time. Aren't there Xiaonan and the others? Their family is much more powerful than ours. They are handling everything. Let's just wait and watch the show."

"Then you can't rely on others for everything. They don't owe you anything."

"I'm talking about this."

Because Li Mianmian and Lily left, the undercover spy matter came to an end for the time being.

On the night before Qingming Festival, we had already decided who would go down the mountain the next day.

Basically, each family sends a boy. The boy is strong and fast and can go back and forth in half a day.

On the Shen family side, only the Nian family took action personally.

No one else, because none of the children in the family are familiar with the location of the family's ancestral cemetery, and only Nian went there personally.

In previous years, Old Shen and Liu Jinlian would pay homage to the graves of their elders, so Sanwa and Shen Nan rarely went there.

We were in a hurry and had no way to move the graves of our ancestors, so we had no choice but to set up a tomb nearby after we got here.

The cenotaph is equivalent to the tomb of the ancestors. Even though they live on the mountain, they cannot build another cenotaph. They still have to go down and take a look this time.

A group of people walked up and down carrying supplies for worship.

If there are only women at home, one or two people will be sent to follow them to ensure their safety.

It has rained continuously recently, and the path down the mountain was swollen and slippery.

The young man could barely walk, but for an older woman like Nian, it was indeed particularly dangerous to walk.

Shen Nan and Xiaoye, one holding Nian's left side and the other holding her right, helped her go down.

Seeing her sweating profusely, Shen Nan said with concern: "Mom, please rest for a while before leaving. Don't hold on. We will leave after you have rested enough. It's still very early anyway, so don't worry too much."

"It's not a problem, it's not a problem. I'm just used to living a comfortable life, and my body and bones are not as good as before, but I can still persevere." Nian panted and shook his head.
