Chapter 79: Name of En

He Ran looked over and saw that it was the sister among the twins.

He Ran did not answer, but asked, "How old are you?"

The twins looked at each other and didn't understand why the benefactor asked this.

"It's still one month away from my grandfather's fiftieth birthday." The two lowered their heads sadly.

He Ran remembered the fat baby wearing a silver collar in the winery when she came here last time: "Auntie, my wine is so delicious, you can buy more."

"Okay, you don't want any other boys except your brother."

The family who just wanted to give up their boy was feeling sad, but when they thought that the grandfather of the siblings died for the villagers, they swallowed the words they said.

He Ran saw that it was getting late and said, "Everyone will find a place to bury these corpses first, hurry up!"

It is related to life and death, and no one is really confused. The bodies of these officers and soldiers will only cause disaster for them.

Everyone dragged the body to the ground and buried it. There was no shortage of burying the body in the countryside.

The bodies of the twin mothers were also found, as well as their grandfather.

He Ran said to the two, "Burn them first, don't set up a grave, make a mark, you will come back in a while and bury them again."

The siblings cried bitterly, but they didn't stop. They dug two holes behind their own winery, found the quilts at home, wrapped the bodies of their grandfather and mother in the pit, and followed He Ran. As mentioned, the burial place was trampled flat, and some gravel tiles were placed on it.

The two wiped away their tears. When they returned to He Ran, the other villagers had already buried the bodies of the officers and soldiers, leaving a few weapons to defend themselves, and the remaining weapons were buried.

He Ran said, "Now everyone can leave here quickly. If you really can't leave, just go to the mountains to avoid it, but you must leave. There is no one in this village."

A child said, "I know there is a cave near the Buddha's head. There are many trees outside. I accidentally discovered it when I was collecting mushrooms."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" The adults at home complained.

"Yes, I know that cave has a small entrance, but it is very deep inside, and can accommodate many people." Another child said.

"Let's go, let's go to the cave first!" Someone was about to go over immediately.

Suddenly, an old lady cried and said, "I won't go anywhere. I'll die at home even if I die. I'm an old lady. What are I afraid of? You all go, I'll stay!"

Most of the people here are elderly people, and the hometown is hard to leave, and even more so for the elderly.

At that moment, someone cried with him: "We are old and we won't go anywhere. At worst, we can hand over this life to them!"

He Ran said coldly: "If you want to stay, then think about it in advance. When the Jin army came back, they tortured and forced you to tell me where the villagers went. Do you think they were talking about it? If the villagers hide their bodies There is no doubt that the place is leaked!”

The old lady was stunned and hurriedly said, "It's all from the same village and they are all in kinship. How could I betray everyone?"

An old lady said angrily: "From Gou Sheng's family, you didn't have any words when you were young, and you don't need to be tortured. When you see real swords and guns, you will say everything!"

Another old man also shouted, "My second uncle is gone. Now the village is the largest seniority. I will decide what I don't leave today, and I will draw them out of the genealogy. If I die, I will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave!"

The old lady was so scared that she was trembling and refused to enter the ancestral grave. Then wouldn’t she become a ghost in the lonely grave? "Look at what you said, I'll just leave. They are all relatives, why are they so fierce?"

The two old ladies who followed her and said they would not leave, all of them drooped their heads and went home to get the broken silver hidden in the crack of the wall.

Everyone scattered. Some went home to pack up their things, helped the elderly and the young, and some told their girls a few words, just to let them listen to their master when they were outside and remember to save money when they made. Don't spend it all or anything like that.

In less than a stick of incense, there were only He Ran’s master and servant, as well as the few children left behind in the threshing farm that was just noisy.

He Ran smiled bitterly. From beginning to end, no one asked her what her surname was, just like her surname was a famous person, a great benefactor.

Several girls shrank and squeezed together. He Ran counted and counted the twins, there were seven people in total.

He Ran smiled and said, "Your family is really awesome. You don't ask me where I'm named. If you want to find you in the future, you should go."

The girls lowered their heads, and one of them said boldly, "My parents don't look for me. They say all day long that I'm a money-losing guy."

He Ran smiled and shook her head: "If you don't look for it, don't look for it. Let's go, follow me!"

He Ran and Xiaoli had only two horses. Even if one horse sat two people, there were still five people who wanted to walk on the ground.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

He Ran asked, "Is there any other road from here to the county town besides the official road?"

The twins spoke in unison: "Yes, my family often walks on small roads when sending wine. There is no tax on the small road, just to go far."

Their family sells wine, and there are heavy taxes everywhere. The Jin people like to eat aged vinegar. In Jin, in addition to the alcohol tax, there is also an additional vinegar tax.

In addition to the fixed annual taxes, there are also tax cards for checking wine and vinegar on the official road. Pedestrians who come and go can only carry one pound of wine and vinegar per person. Once it exceeds the amount, they must be based on the excess amount. Pay the toll tax, and this toll tax is not fixed. It is different in every place and even every month. It depends on whether the above is short of money again.

Those who open wineries have to deliver goods to the city. In addition to paying passes on the road, they also have to pay entering the city tax at the city gate when entering the city. Therefore, these people who open wineries can save as much as possible, and whether to save taxes on entering the city. After that, I will find a way to pass the tax. At worst, I will not walk on the official road and work harder to walk on the small path.

Although the siblings are young, they are already helping with their families. They have walked that path countless times.

He Ran was very happy and waved her hand: "Then let's go."

The brother and brother sighed. They just went home to check it out, and the mule cart delivered at home was also smashed. I don’t know where the mule has gone. It would be great if the mule cart is still there, and everyone can still walk faster. .

However, these little girls have grown up in the countryside since childhood, used to walking on mountain roads and doing farm work, so taking this path is nothing to them.

After about an hour of leaving, the dragon and phoenix twin pointed to a mountain in front and said, "After passing that mountain, it is the north gate of the county town."

The mountain was not high, and it took everyone half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was full of trees. Xiaoli looked around, and suddenly, she pointed to the distance and said, "Look, it's on fire there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and someone exclaimed: "That's our village!"

Their village was already a sea of ​​fire at this time, and the former homeland could never be returned.
