Chapter 704 Shi Huai is gone
Yao Jiang asked them to stand still and prepared to set sail.
Everyone returned to the cabin, and no one had much thought about taking the boat.
However, these children were still very enthusiastic, and Wu Xiao was also led to participate in their fishing plan.
When I returned to the Northwest, it was just in time for the Chinese New Year.
The little guy Pippi has started babbling, and his favorite thing to do is to chat with his brothers and sisters every day.
They came back slower this time and took a detour to visit other places on the way.
Wu Xiao couldn't stand the temperature difference between day and night in the northwest climate, and fell ill not long after arriving. It took him more than half a month to recover from this illness.
As soon as Xiao Chiye came back, he returned to the Northwest Army.
Xia Wanniang looked at the letter in her hand and didn't speak for a long time.
Chai Song knew that this might be bad news: "Madam, has something happened?"
Xia Wanniang sighed: "Uncle Shi Huai is gone."
Chai Song wanted to comfort him, but found that he couldn't say any comforting words.
Xia Wanniang still remembers the first time she went to him to buy cows, as well as his booklet filled with his horse-raising experience. Until now, people at the horse farm are still using the methods he wrote.
Chai Song's voice was a little choked: "Madam, why is he not here?"
"Brother Yin said that he was not there when he was asleep, but he did not suffer. They have chosen a place with good feng shui to bury him, and they will visit him often in the future." Xia Wanniang held the letter in her hand.
She thought they would have a chance to meet again, but she didn't expect that she would miss it.
When Aunt Xiao heard the news, she was sad for a long time and burned a lot of gold ingots and paper money for him, hoping that he would live well in the afterlife.
Xia Wanniang asked people to find a place with good feng shui and prepare to choose a good day to rebury all the members of the Xiao family. It would be best if the place could overlook the entire northwest.
On the chosen day, all the family members went there. The scenery here is beautiful and one can see the entire northwest.
They placed the coffin back in the selected cemetery and placed a customized tombstone.
After all the craftsmen who came to help left, only the Xiao family and Wu Xiao were left here.
Wu Xiao sat next to General Xiao, holding a pot of wine in his hand: "I didn't expect to be able to drink with you, but I can only talk and you listen."
Aunt Xiao and the others did not disturb the two of them, but sat on the other side and looked at the changed Northwest.
Wu Xiao placed a pot of wine in front of General Xiao's tomb: "Others say that I killed you because you have made great contributions."
He looked at the tombstone behind him: "You are the only one who knows me best, and I know you best. You are not interested in sitting in this position."
As he spoke he burst into tears.
Xia Wanniang and the others did not try to comfort him. Sometimes it is better to cry than to hold it in.
Xiao Zimu looked at the tombstone of his parents and said nothing.
Xia Wanniang raised her hand and touched his head: "They will be proud of you."
Xiao Zimu's eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head and did not answer, but his tears fell on the back of his hand, splashing some water.
Xia Wanniang let him lean on her shoulder and patted his back from time to time, comforting him silently.
Xibao, Xile and the others all sat quietly, looking at the scenery in the distance.
They did not go back at night, but just watched the sunset and the sunrise.
Everyone adjusted their mood, as they still had a long way to go.
Aunt Xiao looked at the tombstones and said, "We are leaving now. We will come to see you again during the Qingming Festival. You can see the entire northwest from here. The northwest is very good and beautiful now. You will definitely like it."
Xiao Chiye and the others walked up to the tombstone, kowtowed three times, and left without saying anything.
They have said everything they wanted to say, and all that remains is for them to work hard at it.
Xiao Chiye and Xiao Zimu had to go back to the military camp. They would not be able to come back for a long time as they were busy preparing for the entire army's confrontation.
Xia Wanniang gave the fertilizer formula to Xiao Zilin and let him work on it himself.
Xiao Zisen and Mo Zi planned to go to North City, where the largest number of people from other countries gathered.
Xia Wanniang found that without her noticing, these children seemed to be slowly leaving her side.
