As he spoke, tears gradually blurred his eyes, but he still stared at the tombstone stubbornly, as if he wanted to see through the heavy stone the figure he once loved deeply.

Just standing here silently, time passes quietly.

Gradually, the sun hanging high in the sky became hotter and hotter, as if it was going to scorch the entire earth.

At this time, his stomach began to growl non-stop, and the feeling of hunger kept coming like a tide. If he didn't find something to fill his stomach quickly, he was afraid that he really wouldn't be able to hold on.

There was no way. Although he was reluctant to leave, the reality did not allow him to stay any longer.

So the young man could only say goodbye to Xiaodie with full of apology: "Xiaodie, I have to go. I will definitely come to visit you again. There are still many things waiting to be dealt with over there, and they really don't have enough manpower, so I have to go back to help."

After saying these words, the young man turned around and slowly left. He looked back reluctantly and continued to walk back. Every step seemed so heavy and helpless.

At this moment, he felt as if his body was being crushed by an invisible force. Every muscle and bone in his body was sending out signals of soreness, and the pain was constantly intensifying.

He took steps with difficulty, thinking to himself: At this speed and in this physical condition, I wonder if I can arrive safely by nightfall.

Nier was busy until late last night and was almost exhausted. She finally had some free time to rest.

However, after such a long period of high-intensity labor, her body was already exhausted.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on her face, Nier woke up slowly, but she felt that every part of her body was sore, as if her arms and legs no longer belonged to her.

Enduring the discomfort in her body, Nier slowly got up, ate her meal, and dragged her heavy steps to the place where she usually boiled medicine.

But no matter how I looked left and right, I couldn't see the young man.

Ni'er couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Could it be that as she had thought before, the young man was so sad that he went to accompany Xiaodie?

Thinking of this, Nier became more and more uneasy.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a yamen runner in official uniform walking towards me from a distance.

She remembered that this yamen runner was also present when she sent Sister Xiaodie off last night.

So Ni'er hurried over and asked anxiously, "Brother Yamen Runner, is that young man not back yet? Do you know where he went?"

When the bailiff heard what Ni'er said, he couldn't help but frowned tightly.

He thought about it carefully and realized that it was just as Ni'er said. Since he came back last night, he had not seen that person again.

Even when everyone was having dinner together, the man was nowhere to be seen. So it seems that he has not returned yet.

"Last night, after he picked up the bones, he said he wanted to find a good place to bury them properly. I guess that place might be quite far from here, so let's wait a little longer." The bailiff continued to explain to Ni'er.

However, at this moment, the bailiff was thinking secretly in his heart: This person can only return to this place for now, he cannot go anywhere else.

And looking at his appearance at the time, he didn't look like the kind of person who would be depressed and commit suicide. He shouldn't do anything extremely stupid, right?

Thinking of this, the yamen runner's originally anxious heart finally settled down a little.

After hearing what the bailiff said, Ni'er nodded slightly and thought to herself: What the bailiff said does make sense. Maybe he was just delayed by something and will be back soon?

And no matter what, people still have to eat!

Thinking of this, she sighed softly and said to the yamen runner, "Okay, yamen runner brother, I understand. Thank you for your reminder."

However, despite her promise, Nier was still feeling uneasy and unable to calm down.

After all, as long as she didn't see that person appear in front of her with her own eyes, her heart would always be hanging in the air, dangling as if by an invisible thread.

But right now, she still has a pile of complicated and trivial tasks waiting to be dealt with. These tasks cannot tolerate any carelessness or mistakes, and any carelessness may bring unexpected troubles.

So, Nier gritted her teeth and forced herself to focus on the work at hand.

As time passed, Nier became busier and busier. She concentrated on various tasks and moved quickly and skillfully.

Unconsciously, the worry that had been lingering in her heart was temporarily forgotten by her.

The old lady here had just finished breakfast. She was lying there, looking up at the sky with a dazed look in her eyes.

After all, I have been lying down for such a long time, and there seems to be nothing else to do every day except sleeping, which is really boring.

The old lady thought that since she couldn't fall asleep anyway, she might as well keep her eyes open for a while, appreciate the scenery nearby, chat with others, and relieve her boredom.

At this time, the aunt who was in charge of taking care of the old lady seemed absent-minded.

She was always thinking about her husband, the pillar of the family. He hadn't had breakfast yet. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She wished she could fly home immediately to bring food to her husband.

"No, we have to go back quickly. We can't let the boss go hungry."

The aunt talked to herself as she quickened the pace of packing up her things. She only hoped to finish these things quickly and then rush back.

My husband has been ill during this period and his health has finally recovered day by day. If something goes wrong at this critical moment, all previous efforts will be in vain.

So no matter what, she has to make sure her husband can have hot meals on time.

Otherwise, if he unfortunately passed away one day, it would be extremely difficult to find someone who suits his dreams.

You have to know that there are several children crying for food at home. How many people in this world are willing to be the one who gets taken advantage of?

Who would be stupid enough to pay out of their own pocket to raise children who are not related to them by blood?

So, I still hope that my man can be more motivated and recover his health as soon as possible.
