Chapter 159 Follow me and enjoy the delicious food
The aroma of the food had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the rich smell of rice and stewed meat.
But Mo Lengzhou's eyes seemed particularly heavy. He would go to pay homage to his uncle on the first day of every year.
But he had never been to his parents' graves, and he sighed softly in his heart.
Dad and mom are waiting for their child. One day, your son will bring you and your daughter-in-law to pay homage to you.
His eyes fell on Lu Zhitao and Mo Yunfei beside him, "Let's go, I'll take you to pay homage to your father."
Mo Lengzhou stood by the dining table, looking up at the gradually disappearing sky, the pain in his heart rising and falling like a surging tide.
"Okay, let's go together." Lu Zhitao raised her head slightly, and the sunlight outlined her soft figure.
Her eyes sparkled with concern and encouragement: "No matter what lies ahead, I will always be by your side."
Mo Yunfei, on the other hand, looked serious. He lowered his head and straightened his clothes, preparing to face the upcoming worship ceremony.
"Let's go." Mo Lengzhou took a deep breath. Although he felt very uncomfortable, he could only bury it all in his heart.
He turned around and took the lead, his footsteps making a slight sound on the bluestone road, as if beating out some solemn rhythm.
Behind them, the villagers followed them silently in groups.
The villagers held offerings in their hands, their eyes revealing respect and remembrance for the old village chief.
Even in the sunlight, their figures appear particularly solemn.
Everyone has a heavy faith in their heart, even Lu Zhitao was infected.
The path was lined with leafless trees, and the wind gently rustled the branches as they walked.
There was a rustling sound, as if someone was humming a low song for their worship.
Lu Zhitao couldn't help but quicken her pace, walked to Mo Lengzhou's side, and said softly: "No matter what, don't feel sad."
Her voice flowed like a clear spring, giving Mo Lengzhou great comfort. He wanted to organize people more quickly.
"Thank you, my wife." Mo Lengzhou tilted his head, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment, the warmth in his heart dispelling some of the gloom.
He knew that his wife would definitely be willing to accompany him in his endeavors; she was a ray of light in his life.
Finally they arrived at the cemetery. On the broad hill, everything was as quiet as before, and Mo's father's ancestral grave stood quietly.
There was not even a blade of dry grass around, only the tall earthen graves offering silent greetings to the worshippers who came forward.
The villagers began to light paper money, and smoke curled up. The scent of incense intertwined with the fragrance of the earth, permeating the remembrance in everyone's heart.
Mo Lengzhou slowly knelt down, clasped his hands together, and silently recited in his heart what his uncle had taught him in the past.
Although his uncle was usually very strict with him, he could feel his uncle's deep love.
At that time, he might have been a little resistant to his uncle's strictness, but looking back now, he felt extremely close to him.
"Father, I brought your daughter-in-law Lu Zhitao to see you!" he said softly, his voice mixed with affection and sadness.
As if he was talking to his living uncle, he silently told his uncle his unspeakable regret and longing.
After going down the mountain, the young men carried water to the foot of the mountain for the refugees to drink, and Mo Yunfei followed them with the teenagers carrying small wooden buckets.
Lu Zhitao originally wanted to leave the village, but when she saw that Mo Lengzhou was depressed, she didn't tell him about leaving the village.
Mo Lengzhou stood on the path, looking at the gradually blurred mountain shadows in the distance, with an indescribable sadness surging in his heart.
That emotion is like the faint sunlight at dusk being quietly swallowed up by dark clouds, bringing infinite sadness.
However, this sorrow did not last long. The moment his wife held his hand, all the sorrow was touched by a touch of warmth.
He turned his head to look at the person next to him. She seemed to be aware of his mood, and she also felt a little depressed.
This was not what he wanted to see. He only wanted to see her smiling at all times.
Damn it, he cursed in his heart.
"Tao'er, let's go see the refugees too." His voice was firm, as if to dispel the depression in her heart.
Lu Zhitao was slightly startled, with a trace of worry in her eyes, "Husband, you look unhappy, do you want to go home and rest for a while?"
"I was just thinking about my father...but with Tao'er by my side, I'll be fine soon."
"Then let's go to the foot of the mountain to see the refugees and find out what's happening outside." Lu Zhitao said with a smile.
She knew that it would rain in half a month, and if she didn't take the opportunity to go out and help more refugees.
After the rain, relief will not be of much significance. There is a huge difference between providing timely assistance and adding icing on the cake!
When Mo Lengzhou saw her bright eyes filled with infinite joy, his mood improved a lot at that moment.
"Husband, we have water and food now. Let's take this opportunity to go out and help the refugees. I've observed the sky and it will rain soon."
"Wife, you also understand astronomical phenomena?" Mo Lengzhou was extremely surprised. "Wife, I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life, otherwise how could I have met you in this life."
"Hehehe...you believe these too?" Lu Zhitao laughed out loud. Everyone likes to hear good words.
"I didn't believe it before, but after meeting you, I believe it now." Mo Lengzhou's voice was soft but filled with firm strength.
"Haha...husband, you really know how to make me happy. Let's go." Lu Zhitao laughed heartily.
It is such a pleasure to have someone who praises you all the time.
The couple soon reached the foot of the mountain and heard a weak voice from a distance.
"Who among you is willing to tell me where Village Chief Mo is? This hundred taels of silver will belong to him."
“Don’t say we don’t know. Even if we knew where Village Chief Mo was, we wouldn’t tell strangers.”
"That's right, we will never betray our benefactor."
"Let alone one hundred taels of silver, even if it's ten thousand taels, we won't tell you." Yan Baoyue's voice was loud.
"Where did you come from, woman? Get out of here. You have no right to speak here." The prefect's follower said viciously.
"Oh, this woman is pretty. Do you want to come with me... home and have a good time?" the prefect joked.
"You can still enjoy a good life these days? Are you bragging?" Mo Yunfei's doubtful voice sounded.
"Eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks?" Yan Baoyue asked in disbelief. The young men in their Mojia Village were all good at martial arts and they almost starved to death before.
Who are they anyway? How could they still be enjoying such a luxurious life?
"Yes, little girl, as long as you come with us adults, we guarantee you will have everything you need."
"I can have a good life if I follow you? Are you liars?" Yan Baoyue asked with a frown.
"Why would I lie to you? Life is short. Why don't you come back with me and try things you can't normally experience?"
