Chapter 282: Cousin Is Dead
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The child walked for a while before realizing that she was not following him.
He hurriedly turned his head to look.
Seeing that she was staring at the grave not far away, he was a little vexed and said uneasily, “Sister, are you afraid of this? Then I’ll take you to another path. Don’t be afraid. We’ll just take a detour. It’s not far.”
Actually, there were more than one grave here.
He was just hasty and was used to this path. He didn’t expect this. Looking at their good clothes, they definitely didn’t walk the mountain path often. He should have asked the sister to wait for him and brought the things over himself.
Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief and shook her head. “I’ll go over and take a look.”
She still held Madam Yang’s hand and slowly walked towards the grave she had just seen.
The grave was very simple, and the tombstone in front was only a rough wooden board.
What made Gu Yundong’s expression change was the words carved on the wooden board—Tomb of My Beloved Wife, Bian Mulan.
Below that was “Husband: Ding Jincheng”.
It was rare to see soone with the surna Bian. Coincidentally, her eldest uncle’s surna was Bian.
Her eldest aunt’s daughter was called Bian Mulan.
Eldest Aunt’s son-in-law was called Ding Jincheng.
Although she knew that it was hard to predict life and death on the way to escape, as long as she did not see their bodies or hear news of their death, she would always think positively.
However, she did not expect to see this grave at this mont.
The child walked to her side and looked at her, then at the graves. He said in a low voice, “Sister, there are a few graves here. I heard that they all died after escaping from Yongning Prefecture. Do you know the people inside?”
Gu Yundong took a deep breath and blinked. Feeling less bitter, she slowly nodded. “She might be my cousin.”
The child imdiately fell silent, not knowing what to say to comfort her. After a while, he said softly, “Maybe, maybe they have the sa na? So ti ago, soone ca to move his family’s grave, but they moved the wrong one. That person is alive and well.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. She turned to look at the child who was trying his best to comfort her and nodded. “What you said makes sense.”
Maybe she wasn’t dead? There were always many mistakes in this world.
She took another look at the grave and thought for a mont before asking the child, “Do you live nearby?”
“Yes, that’s our village.”
“Let’s go to your village to take a look. I want to ask soone to help repair this grave. After we confirm it, we’ll decide if we should move the grave.”
If she was really her cousin, she would naturally co over. Moving the grave was not a small matter.
If it wasn’t for her cousin, it wouldn’t be a big deal to fix it.
The child nodded and brought her to the place where he kept his basket.
Because of this incident, the child was very silent along the way.
His destination was not far away. He saw his things and quickly ran forward. Gu Yundong finally understood why he did not carry the basket with him. The basket was filled with pig grass, wild vegetables, and wild fruits. It looked very heavy. This child was thin and weak. He would die of exhaustion if he carried it.
The child squatted down and began to rummage through the basket on his back.
After a while, he smiled and took out a purple flower.
“Sister, this is it.”
Gu Yundong took a closer look and could not help but pat her forehead. It seed that Dr. Song was not lying to her. This dicinal herb was indeed rare.
Seeing her like this, the smile on the child’s face froze.. “It’s not an herb?”
