Chapter 5 Cleaning and Burial
Seeing that she was still looking at Haiwan with unfulfilled feelings, Yang Tashan knew that she was very hungry, so he said: Girl, you have been hungry for a long time and have no food in your stomach for a long time. You can't drink too much at once, otherwise your stomach will not be able to bear it. After we put your mother in peace, we will come back to have a meal. Don't worry, you won't be hungry."
The little girl nodded with tears in her eyes. With food in her stomach, she became much more energetic and struggled to stand up.
Yang Tashan said to the fat shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper's land, how much does this porridge cost?"
"Two bowls per cent, you can also ask for one bowl."
Yang Tashan took out a piece and handed it to him: "No, we'll finish our work later, and we'll come to your meal."
"Okay!" The fat shopkeeper hurriedly and took the copper coins. Although he secretly laughed in his stomach that Yang Tashan was a sucker, someone came forward to deal with this matter and always had a good place. He also hoped to handle the business as soon as possible, and hurriedly said: "Customer, do you want me to help you call the local staff in the Shoucai Store to talk to you?"
Yang Tashan was worried that the shopkeeper would benefit from it, so he would save as much as possible now, so it would be better to go and negotiate in person. He bowed and said, "It's not a matter of time for the shopkeeper to worry about it. Please give me some advice on the path."
The fat shopkeeper pointed forward: "When turning the street and walking a hundred steps forward, there are several birthday shops on his right hand, and the prices are quite fair. You can compare them with the right one. By the way, they also have graves for sale, shrouds, and some offenses that can help clean the corpse and bury..."
Yang Tashan nodded. Seeing that the girl was much more energetic after drinking the porridge that night, she felt relieved and patted her on the shoulder: "You are waiting for me here, I'll go find them. OK?"
The girl wiped her tears and nodded.
Yang Tashan followed the instructions of the fat shopkeeper and quickly found the several longevity shops. When asked about the price, it was indeed a little less than the fat shopkeeper said. According to the rules, the longevity shop did not bargain, so there was no way to save the price.
Yang Tashan only bought the cheapest thin wooden coffin, the cheapest tomb and the cheapest shroud. Although the longevity store had offenses, it was a matter of collecting money. Yang Tashan could save as much as possible. In total, it was three hundred cents less than the fat shopkeeper said.
Yang Tashan was very happy and spent 16 cents to buy a linen mourning dress. At first sight, he saw a man and a woman robes on the robes at the door. When he remembered the girl's ragged clothes, he felt sorry for her, so he went to the robes on the robes and based on the girl's figure, he spent 120 cents to buy a light blue dress and a pair of embroidered shoes. After thinking about it, he spent 60 cents to buy a girl's underwear and a small wooden comb.
I took the robe and went back to the Shoucai shop, paid the money, and signed the deed of the grave. The deed had the specific location of the land and the four directions on this deed, which was easy to find. After all, I had nearly 300 cents left in my purse.
He wrapped the girl's clothes and mourning clothes, carried them on his back, and came back with the thin wooden coffin.
The girl was looking up, feeling more or less worried that Yang Tashan would go away. After all, five taels and five cents of silver are not a small amount. Now seeing Yang Tashan come back with a thin wooden coffin, tears of gratitude fell down and kowtowed.
Yang Tashan put down the coffin and said to the girl: "I have bought all the tombs. Let's carry your mother's body to the small river outside the city to clean it before burying it." He opened the package and took out the linen mourning clothes from it and handed it to the girl. The girl took it and put it on, tied it with a hemp rope around her waist.
Yang Tashan said to the fat shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper's land, do you have a hoe and a shovel in your store? Borrow two, borrow a pair of scissors and hatchets, by the way, borrow another gourd ladle."
The fat shopkeeper was a little hesitant: "However, there are...but..."
Yang Tashan took out fifty-money copper coins from his arms and handed them over: "This money is mortgaged to you, and we will come back after we finish our work. We will pay you this hoe and other things, and we will have to eat at you. How about refunding more and replenishing more?"
The fat shopkeeper bowed repeatedly and agreed, took the copper coins with awkward smile, and told the clerk to go in and get a hoe, a shovel, a pair of scissors, a hatchet and a gourd ladle to Yang Tashan.
Yang Tashan first wrapped the body with a straw mat and picked it up, carefully put it in the coffin and covered the coffin. The girl was even more grateful to see that Yang Tashan did it himself, not bothering it dirty or smelling it.
The fat shopkeeper said, "Customer, do you want to hire a ox cart to transport life materials for you?"
"No need." Yang Tashan put the scissors in his arms. The hatchet had a strap, tied it directly to his waist, then grabbed the coffin with both hands, shouted: "Get up!" He held it up and carried it on his shoulders, and said to the girl: "Please take a hoe, shovel and gourd, let's go." After that, he strided hard toward the city.
The girl agreed, carrying a hoe, a shovel and a gourd ladle, and followed Yang Tashan in tears.
The people on the street saw Yang Tashan carrying a coffin, which looked very heavy, and they could smell a stinking corpse stinking from afar. Behind him was a weak girl wearing mourning clothes, carrying a hoe and a shovel, which was strange and avoided them, and then pointed and discussed.
Yang Tashan's eyes did not squint, nor stopped, and left the city in one breath.
After leaving, I walked to the edge of the river, I let it go, and my head was covered in sweat.
Although his internal skills are already a bit high, it is difficult to get a good player after all. It is quite amazing to walk from the city to the outside of the city, and it is quite impressive.
Yang Tashan lifted the body out, placed it by the river, and washed the body with the girl.
The corpse was covered with white maggots, which was already highly corrupt. With a gentle touch, the flesh fell down like the braised pork with stewed ground. You must be extra careful. It smelled bad and could not stop the smell even if you pinch your nose with your hands. Even the girl couldn't stand it. But Yang Tashan was as if nothing had happened. He felt strange. Did he have done offense before and got used to this business?
Seeing that the girl did not know how to deal with such highly corrupt corpses and almost fainted in the stench, Yang Tashan asked her to go to the upper wind to watch herself deal with it.
The corpse is highly corrupt and difficult to clean. The so-called cleaning means washing away the visible maggots, sticky leaves, garbage and so on, and then put on a mourning jacket.
Yang Tashan carefully cut open the deceased's clothes with scissors, then scooped clean water with a gourd ladle, carefully washed away the maggots on the corpse, and rushed until one was invisible. He washed away the leaves and other adhered to the corpse. Finally, he slowly poured the corpse with clear water several times, then put on the corpse's chisel, picked it up and put it in the coffin.
After doing all this, Yang Tashan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard a girl crying beside him. When he turned around, he saw that it was the girl who was crying in a low voice.
It turned out that when the girl saw Yang Tashan cooking the body so attentively, she was like cooking her own relatives, she was moved and couldn't help crying.

Yang Tashan thought she was crying for her mother, and she did not dissuade her, so she covered the coffin cover and nailed it to the coffin. She carried it up, said she left, and took the girl, and followed the tomb's literary instructions, and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads before she arrived at the tomb.
After a little rest, Yang Tashan swung his hoe and started digging. Soon, he dug a rectangular deep pit.
When the girl saw Yang Tashan sweating profusely, she could not help except crying with gratitude.
Yang Tashan carefully put the coffin into the pit and said to the girl: "Okay, come and bury it. This is your filial piety. I'll take a break."
The girl agreed, walked to the edge of the pit, looked at the coffin in the pit, and called out: "Mom~!" and she burst into tears.
Yang Tashan was almost tired and broke up. It was very hot that day. He sat on the grass and panted. Seeing the girl crying sadly, he didn't bother her and let her cry.
After crying for a while, the girl slowly stood up, picked up the shovel, sobbed and shoveled the soil into the pit. When she almost covered the coffin with all the coffins, she couldn't bear to bury her mother like this, and fell softly on the mound, crying bitterly, crying like a cuckoo crying blood.
Yang Tashan looked up at the sky. The sun had already set in the west. After a while, the city gate was closed, but he couldn't get in. So he got up and walked over, took the shovel from the girl's hand, waved the shovel like the wind, and shoveled the soil and flew to the bottom of the pit. It was soon filled and started to build a pile of graves.
The girl knelt on the side, looking helplessly at Yang Tashan building the grave, crying sadly.
Soon, a new tomb pile was piled up. Yang Tashan threw down the shovel, pulled out the hatchet, walked to a tree not far away, cut the tree off a few knives, cut it into a wooden stake, split it, took half of it, walked back, inserted it in front of the grave, and drove the wooden stake into it.
Then, Yang Tashan turned around and walked to the girl, pulled her up, and without saying a word, she untied her linen mourning clothes in a few slams.
The girl's eyes were filled with tears, her face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "My bet, wait...wait until...wait... and then... okay?"
Seeing that she was misunderstood, Yang Tashan was so tired that he was too lazy to explain. He took off her linen silly clothes and mourning hat, returned to the wooden stake in front of the grave, tied the linen silly hat to the wooden stake. After looking, after everything was done, he inserted the hatchet, carried the hoe shovel, and said, "Let's go!" He didn't look at the girl, turned around and walked down the mountain.
The girl realized that she had misunderstood. She walked to the grave, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said sadly: "Mom, the child is gone, the child has met a kind-hearted person, don't worry." She kowtowed three times, got up and wiped her tears, and chased Yang Trashan.
Yang Tashan didn't speak, and kept walking with his head down. The girl didn't speak, and followed him closely.
Yang Tashan did not go back to the city directly, but came to the river just now, walked up the river, and found a secluded place. Then he turned around and said to the girl, "You go down the river to take a shower, take a bad luck, and change your clothes."
Then he unpacked the package on his back, took out the girl's clothes, underwear and the wooden comb, and handed it to the girl.
