The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 424 Bai Clan 1

"Dad, everything is packed, look!"

Baizhi pointed to several large packages on the cart in the yard and smiled at Baiji.

"Put the things here first, call your mother and the others out, and we will go collect the bodies of our tribesmen!"

Bai Ji looked in the direction of the eerie mansion and said with a sad face.

Thinking of the tragic state of his dead tribesmen, his back bent a little and his eyes instantly became moist.

"Yes, Dad!"

Bai Zhi thought of the tragic deaths of her clansmen, lowered her head, sighed sadly, and turned to walk into the house.

"Big Head, stay home and don't go anywhere. Grandpa and grandma and your parents will be back soon."

When Bai Ji saw his little grandson Datou also followed his son over, he reached out and touched his little head lovingly, and whispered.

After returning home, Datou recovered from his shock with the comfort of his mother. He no longer looked dazed. He looked up at Baiji and said, "Grandpa, I'm not afraid. I want to go too! Those are our people. I want to see them off."

"Big Head, listen to your grandfather and wait at home obediently. You kids can't watch that scene!"

"Be good, Big Head, listen to your grandparents. You are young, so the tribe members won't mind if you don't send them off!"

Datou's grandmother and mother squatted in front of him and advised him softly.

Datou didn't look at the two of them, but looked up at Baiji, standing there motionless and without saying a word.

Seeing the persistence on his grandson's face, Bai Ji sighed and said, "Well, come with me! But don't go into the house, just wait outside."

Big-headed grandma and my mother wanted to say something, but Bai Ji waved at them. Seeing this, the two swallowed their words.

"Let's go!"

Bai Ji turned and walked out of the yard, and Big Head Grandma and a few others followed him.

"Chief, we have packed everything!"

As soon as Bai Ji and his family walked out of the courtyard, they met their clansmen who came to look for them.

"Okay, now everyone go to each household and take out the funeral clothes and coffins they have prepared. Let's bury those dead members of our tribe in peace!"

Bai Ji looked at the dozen or so family members standing in front of him and spoke loudly with a sad face.

Since the generation that lived here in seclusion, the Bai family has developed a habit of preparing funeral clothes and coffins early when a member of the family is born. In case something unexpected happens to their family, if there are still survivors, they can bury them.

They seemed to attach great importance to being buried in peace.

"Yes, patriarch!"

Everyone responded loudly, and then starting from the village entrance, one family after another carried their coffins, funeral clothes and other items to the gloomy mansion.

"The kids are waiting outside, everyone else follow me in!"

Bai Ji waved his hand, and except for the children, all the other clansmen followed him into the house.

The doors of every room were wide open, and people could easily see the tragic situation inside the house. Seeing their tribesmen, who had been talking and laughing with them just a few days ago, now dead and in such a state, everyone couldn't help but cry softly.

The whole yard was filled with their suppressed sobbing.

"Okay, start from this room and carry out the bodies of the tribesmen. Then, according to the names, carry the coffins in. After putting the bodies in the coffins, carry them out again to avoid scaring the children outside!"

Bai Ji pulled up his sleeves, wiped his tear-blurred eyes, and whispered instructions to everyone.

"Yes, patriarch!"

Everyone answered in a low voice, their voices a little hoarse, and walked with heavy steps to the first house on the right. They carefully carried out the bodies in the room. No one spoke during this time. At this moment, their hearts were so blocked that they didn't want to say anything.

The women identified the bodies, then quickly walked outside and brought in the shrouds embroidered with their names, while the men carried the coffins, each of which had a name engraved on it.

Because their ancestors said that they would face the disaster of extermination, and even if there were any survivors in the end, there would not be many, so when they made coffins and shrouds, they put their names on them to prevent too many members from dying at once and getting these things mixed up.

These tribesmen had been dead for more than three days, and their bodies had softened at this point, so they didn't have to worry about dressing them in shrouds. Everyone cooperated well and quickly dressed the tribesmen who were carried out of the house in shrouds and carefully placed them in the coffins.

Under Bai Ji's command, a group of men carried all the coffins out of the yard, and began to prepare the bodies of the clansmen in the next house, dressing them in shrouds, etc. In this way, it was almost two hours, and they had just carried all the clansmen out of the yard.

"Everyone, hurry up, it's almost time for the master to agree, and we still have to dig the grave at the place chosen by our ancestors!"

Bai Ji looked up at the sky, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said anxiously.

"Yes, Chief, let's quickly grab our stuff and go to the cemetery!"

After hearing the words of the patriarch, everyone did not even take a rest and ran back to their yards to get shovels and other things.

Fortunately, the cemetery chosen by the ancestors was not far from the village, so everyone arrived there quickly. This time even the little kids got involved, and everyone worked together to dig the soil.

At this time, Lin Xi, who had explored the remaining bandits' dens, returned to the small mountain village. She walked to the big house where coffins were placed, and seeing that there was no one around, she concentrated her spiritual power on her ears, listened for a while, and flew towards Bai Ji and the others' location.

"Meet the Master!"

When Bai Zhi raised her head to wipe the sweat off her face, she happened to see Lin Xi falling beside them. She quickly knelt on the ground and saluted Lin Xi.

Upon seeing this, the other members of the Bai clan also knelt on the ground and saluted Lin Xi respectfully.

"Everyone, please stand up. Remember not to perform such formalities in the future. I don't care about these empty formalities!"

Lin Xi personally helped up several elderly elders of the clan, and spoke to everyone with a serious face.

"Yes, Master!"

These people listened to Lin Xi's words very much, got up from the ground swiftly, and responded in unison.
