Everything was packed in baskets and placed next to the lobby of the inn, and uncle Yao Jiazhong went to find a carriage.

The second uncle was checking out with the shopkeeper at the counter, and Ning Yue held her face and watched the people coming and going outside the door.

Yao Jiati is still counting things, which are Ning Yue’s masterpieces and have spent a lot of money.

Zhou Yan hurriedly walked in and grabbed Yao Jiati and walked aside.

"Fortunately, I caught up. I guess you were leaving. In the morning, the county master called me to ask about your family's situation carefully."

"I didn't say about buying land. You should be careful when you go back. If you have any questions, please send someone a letter. Don't always take care of yourself."

"If anything happens here, I'll find someone named Puppy to send you a letter, what you know."

Yao Jiati nodded, "Okay, I will pay attention."

Zhou Yan patted Yao Jiati on the shoulder, and the meaning in his eyes was clear.

At this moment, a yamen run over and said, "Head, there is someone in the back alley that is almost out of reach."

"What, no, why don't you go to the doctor quickly? Why are you doing here?"

"Oh, but I don't have any money!"

Zhou Yan glared, "It's still less, give it to me first."

Yao Jiati looked at Zhou Yan worriedly.

Zhou Yan turned around and said, "Be careful on the way, I'll go first." He left.

The guests in the lobby started to talk.

"I heard that, people are going to die again in the back alley. Oh, it's better to die than to live to that extent."

"Brother, why do you say that? It's better to live than to die."

"I said, you came from another place, don't you know what the back alley is."

The man from other places shook his head: "The people living in the back alley are all those who cannot continue to live. They were even more chaotic before. It was better to have a few remnants who came from where they didn't know where they came a few years ago."

"During the natural disaster, some more came. The county master kindly gave him a yard in the back alley to have a place to live, but it is becoming more and more difficult now!"

"Why is it difficult? Didn't the county master give it to the yard?"

The speaker rolled his eyes, "You only have the place to sleep, don't eat, don't drink!"

"oh"

If you give it to live and not to eat, you will have to look at God and yourself.

Ning Yue remembers that TV and history books in his previous life said that soldiers in ancient times were not treated much when they were injured.

The medical conditions are very low, and the life and death depend on God's will. If you die, you may not be able to give compensation to those relatives.

Those who are injured and unable to die will have some questions about whether they can return to their hometown. Even if they become disabled, they will be despised and cannot take care of themselves.

Ning Yue looked at Yao Jiati standing by the door and looked outside. The confusion in her eyes looked like an abandoned child, her slightly shaking body, trying her best to control herself.

The second uncle Yao Jiaxiao stood by the side worriedly, not knowing how to comfort him.

Ning Yue walked up and grabbed Yao Jiati's hand, "Dad, let's go and have a look!"

"Those uncles sacrificed their lives and shed blood. They could not cry, nor could they go in humiliation like this. Their existence is a proof of protecting their homes and the country."

Yao Jiati squatted down, stared at Ning Yue and said, "I have sacrificed my life and shed blood. Can't I cry anymore?"

Who can understand the weight of life losing, and who can understand the bloody battlefield?

Only those who have died once can understand that nothing is more important than living, but now they are going to die in humiliation.

Who can do something?

The originally noisy lobby has calmed down, and I have sacrificed my life and shed blood. Do I still have to cry? I have protected my family and the country, but who has thought about it like this?

The second uncle said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, please ask if you know how Hou Cang left."

"Oh, I know, Chunzi went to the kitchen to get some steamed buns, and I will accompany these two guests to see."

Chunzi took a packet of steamed buns, the shopkeeper took them, and went to the back alley together.

My uncle also found a carriage. I heard that I was going to another place, so I could only ask the coachman to wait.

Walk back from the alley on the right of the inn, then turn left and forward, and it takes about half an hour to reach the so-called back alley.

This is a civilian area, and the back alley is a shanty town.

Dirty, messy, smelly, torn clothes, yellow face and thin skin are the characteristics here.

Several yamen runners at the innermost part of the front were saying something, and people came out to check it out from time to time.

Yao Jiati picked Ning Yue up and walked over. Zhou Yan saw it and said, "Why are you here? You brought Xiao Yue'er together. Go back quickly."

Ning Yue knew what Zhou Yan was worried about. It was too messy and dirty, and it was extremely bad for children.

Yao Jiati shook his head, but Zhou Yan was dissatisfied with him.

Zhou Yan looked at the people around him and asked Ning Yue: "Xiao Yue'er, do you have a handkerchief?"

Ning Yue: "There is"

He took it out and gave it to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan took it and trembled it and folded it into a triangle, surrounding Ning Yue's nose and tied a knot at the back of her head.

Zhou Yan is a human nature, and he is also really considering Ning Yue.

It is not said that Yao Jiati doesn’t feel sorry for Ning Yue. He knows Ning Yue’s differences and his worry is not so obvious.

Standing in the dilapidated yard, I saw a row of crumbling houses, but there were many people living in it. Except for a few old people and two children, the others were all disabled.

Everyone was worried, but they were just standing behind the door and looking at the house in the middle, but no one stepped forward.

Seeing the people in the courtyard, the panic, confusion and clear in their eyes.

The shopkeeper of the inn took out the steamed bun and handed it to the old man in a room not far away. The old man nodded and thanked him, but did not answer.

"Ahhh" gestured, wanting to express something.

It was a mute old man, his eyes were muddy but full of anxiety. His desolate face and messy white hair made people feel sad.

"What's the situation now?"

"Old Zhao is almost out of reach. Chunhetang's doctor is inside, so everyone is waiting outside."

Yao Jiati asked: "How many people are there?"

Zhou Yan replied: "All twenty-six people."

"Five old men, three children, the rest were all retired that time."

"So have you been helping them all these years?"

"Well, you can do a little bit, do your best!"

The doctor came out, "How is it?"

"No, go in and say a few words."

Obviously, the doctor is also a regular visitor here, and he also knows the situation here and feels compassion.

Several people walked in, Ning Yue stood outside the door, and everyone in the room helped her walk out.

He knelt down one by one, full of despair and full of hurt.

The old man inside saw Zhou Yan pulling the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, I can see you, they,,,,"

This short sentence exhausted all the energy.

Zhou Yan promised, "I will do my best"

The old man blinked and took his last breath.

A meticulous and depressing cry came from the yard.

Everyone was in a heavy mood. Yao Jiati took out a tael of silver and asked Yao Jiazhong to go to the coffin shop to buy a thin coffin.

Ning Yue pulled her second uncle Yao Jiaxiao to the side and said a few words in her ear.

Then he walked to the well water beads by the wall and dripped in a seven-color flower bead.

It's really dirty and messy here. What you can do for them is to let them survive first.

Soon, the coffin bought by the uncle was delivered, and the second uncle also bought the necessary items.

Old cotton jacket, cheesecloth, salt, millet, and some vegetables.

In the kitchen, the second uncle boiled a pot of hot water, put it in a broken wooden basin, and put it into the house with a piece of cheesecloth.

The meaning is very clear. To purify the dead, be naked when you come and be neat when you go.

Seeing these, the people in the yard started to move.

Wipe the coffin, prepare paper money, clean out a clean area, and give the person who has supported them for the last journey.
