The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

After this person's reminder, the young man came to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and realized that his behavior just now was too reckless and stupid.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared, and a little cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Then, he hurriedly bowed to the person who had kindly stopped him and expressed his gratitude.

Then, the young man hurriedly looked around for a suitable branch, ready to use it to carefully pull out the bones.

However, the road here was rugged and winding, making it difficult to walk. In addition, the terrain in this area was completely unfamiliar, and night had fallen, with darkness all around and limited vision.

It is not easy to find a suitable thick branch at this moment.

At this time, an older yamen runner said, "Young man, we are going to go down the mountain. Why don't you come with us? This way we can take care of each other."

The young man quickly responded: "Thank you for your kindness! But I still have some things to deal with here. I will go down the mountain when I am done. You can go ahead and don't worry about me. Nothing will happen."

The yamen runners had other official duties to attend to and could not stay here for long. Seeing the young man's firm attitude, they stopped forcing him and said goodbye to him and hurried down the mountain.

The young man was left alone, groping his way forward in the darkness.

Not long after, I suddenly felt my feet slip, and I staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The young man shook his body in panic and staggered several steps. He finally managed to keep his body steady and avoid direct contact with the ground.

At this moment, with the not very bright moonlight, I looked carefully and found that what almost tripped me just now seemed to be a thick branch.

So the young man slowly bent down and carefully took a closer look.

After making sure it was correct, he reached out and gently picked up the branch.

I held it in my hand and weighed it a few times, and it felt quite heavy.

Then, he started to remove all the extra leaves on the branches one by one.

After some care, the branch has become much neater and has become a good wooden stick.

Hey, I didn't expect that I could get a suitable tool so easily. It's really like searching for a piece of iron in the sky, but it finally came to me without any effort!

The young man held the stick tightly and walked back hurriedly.

It was late at night, and everything was dark and silent, with only a faint moonlight shining on the road.

And this place happened to be a place where corpses were burned. The eerie and terrifying atmosphere made him feel creepy. He always felt gusts of cold wind coming from behind him from time to time, as if countless pairs of invisible eyes were staring at him.

However, when he thought that Xiaodie was protecting him in the dark, he felt a little more at ease.

Nevertheless, time is pressing and there is no room for delay.

Because even in the dead of night, if someone unfortunately passed away, according to convention, the body must be pulled out and burned immediately, without any delay.

Therefore, he had to rush back as quickly as possible to pick up Xiaodie's bones and take them away.

Along the way, due to his anxiety and dim light, he was tripped by rocks or weeds on the roadside several times.

But he had no time to care about these things, he just wanted to go back quickly.

Even if I was in pain all over and my palms were scraped and bleeding;

Even though his ankle was sprained and it hurt every time he took a step, he didn't care.

After going around in circles and groping for several times, the anxious young man finally found the right direction.

At this moment, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and the sweat kept flowing down his cheeks, soaking his clothes, but he had no time to care about these, and he just wanted to reach his destination as soon as possible.

After finally reaching the place, I looked in the moonlight and saw the ground was covered with ashes left over from the burning.

The young man took a deep breath, calmed himself, picked up the wooden stick he had picked up, carefully reached into the pile of ashes, and began to dig it out.

His movements were gentle and cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Although he knew very well that the kind-hearted Xiaodie would never blame him for doing this, the young man couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought that other people might complain about it or even criticize him.

After all, turning over a person's remains after death is considered a great act of disrespect.

However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back. The young man can only continue his actions while muttering: "I am so sorry, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters! I really have no choice but to do this!"

"Please forgive my offense and rudeness. I just wanted to pick up the remains of my beloved and find a proper place to bury her."

"Once everything is settled, it can be considered a tomb. I can come here to pay my respects and express my grief from time to time. I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting you, so please don't be offended..."

The young man bent down and carefully dug at the top of the ash pile with a wooden stick, trying to take out as many bones as possible from the upper layer.

However, due to the chaos at the scene, no matter how careful he was, he inevitably mixed in some other people's bones.

Then, the young man slowly stood up, faced the mountain of ashes and the scattered bones mixed in it, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times respectfully towards the pile of ashes.

Every time he kowtowed, his forehead hit the ground heavily, making a dull but firm sound.

Then, the young man took off his worn and sweaty clothes without hesitation and spread them out gently.

Then, he very gently placed the remains of his beloved, which he had just taken out of the ashes, on top of it.

His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of waking up his sleeping lover.

After all the bones were wrapped properly, the young man held them tightly in his arms, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

When Xiaodie was alive, she once told the young man with great longing that she hoped to build a cozy cottage for the two of them in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers in the future.

The best thing is that there is a clear stream not far from my house.

In this way, daily chores such as washing clothes and fetching water will become extra convenient and easy.

The young man hugged the clothes and bones in his arms, recalling the place he had discovered by chance before.
