When Yun Kexin called out that mom, everyone present was shocked.

Even Yu Sanniang, who was crying bitterly, stopped crying.

She turned her head, opened her eyes full of tears, and stared at Yun Kexin blankly.

It took her a long time to find her voice and asked with a sob.

"Kexin, you, you can speak?"

Li Qingyan was also shocked.

So much so that his hand holding Yun Kexin was a little relaxed.

Yun Kexin took the opportunity to break free from Li Qingyan's arms, rushed over and knelt down at Zhou's tomb, crying and shouting.

"Mom, mom!"

She could only say this word, and kept circulating.

My voice was a little hoarse when I shouted.

Li Qingyan finally came to his senses.

He walked over, knelt down in front of Zhou's tomb, and made a serious promise.

"Mom, don't worry, since I have already worshipped Kexin, she is my wife, I will take good care of her and no longer let her suffer any grievances. I will definitely live up to her in this life!"

After saying that, he leaned over and paused his head, and kowtowed three times hard.

A gust of wind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves.

One of the fallen leaves happened to fall in front of Li Qingyan.

It seemed as if Zhou was responding to his promise.

Xiao Lingfeng found a fairly flat stone to serve as the tombstone of Zhou's family.

Li Qingyan used the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a line of words "My mother, the tomb of Zhou's family" on the tombstone, and at the end, he also added a line of small characters of time, year, month and day.

Next to Zhou's family is Yun Changsheng's tomb.

The couple's graves stand side by side and rely closely on each other.

I couldn't find so many stones suitable for tombstones for a while, so I could only make do with wooden boards.

Li Qingyan wrote a letter to each tombstone, so that they could have a tomb where they could live, so that they would not be exposed to the wilderness and become poor ghosts.

The conditions in the mountains are limited, and there is definitely no such thing as ingots and paper money.

Fortunately, Li Qingyan brought some fruits, desserts and candies this time.

They placed these foods in front of each grave as offerings to these tragic deaths of the village people.

After finishing the funeral, everyone packed up their things and prepared to go down the mountain.

Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang were reluctant to leave Dafu Village.

But they knew very well that Dafu Village was gone, and even if they stayed, everything would not go back to the past.

Moreover, it is difficult for them to survive in the deep mountains and forests. Leaving this place is their only way out.

Xiao Lingfeng brought two horses to come and rode for Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang.

With horses to travel, they can walk much easier along the way.

The group left Dafu Village and slowly went down the mountain.

Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang couldn't help but look back and took a last look at Dafu Village.

This is the place where they were born and raised, and the home they most miss.

But they are leaving this home today.

I don’t know when I will come back.

Maybe I can never come back.

Everything in the past has been turned into ashes.

The road to the future is still in a daze.

...

After leaving Huafu Mountain, Xiao Lingfeng sent someone to nearby villages and towns to find out if he had seen Yu Jiu and his gang.

Li Qingyan took Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang to the county government office.

The county magistrate of Raohe County said that he had never heard of the existence of Dafuzhai before.

He also arrived at Dafu Village yesterday and saw more than 100 charred corpses with his own eyes. He realized that there was such a large village hidden in Huafu Mountain.

Over the years, the government has collected taxes and recruited soldiers, but has never been to Dafu Village.

Strictly speaking, this should be considered a dereliction of duty at work.

If the people from Dafu Village are still alive, the county magistrate will definitely order people to include all the information of these villagers in their household registration book and order them to make up for all the taxes that have been missed over the years.

But the people in the village were almost dead, leaving only two lonely and pitiful weak women.

What else can the county magistrate do?

I could only hold my nose and endure it.

Since Dafu Village has lived in seclusion for many years, has never paid taxes or served in military service, the records in the official archives are blank.

This means that Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang do not have serious household registration.

To put it bluntly, they are just two black households.

Li Qingyan brought them to the county government to register them so that they can walk in the world with dignity in the future.

Li Qingyan, the Minister of Personnel, personally watched, and the county magistrate of Raohe County did not dare to be negligent. He helped to implement his household registration as quickly as possible and thoughtfully wrote Yun Kexin's name into Li Qingyan's household registration.

In this way, they become legal couples officially recognized.

Li Qingyan took everyone to the restaurant for dinner.

Because Yun Kexin and Yu Sanniang were still mourning, they ordered all the vegetarian dishes, not even tea, and could only drink water.

Li Qingyan said to Yu Sanniang while picking up food for Kexin.

"Kexin is already my wife. She must be back to Shengjing with me. Are you going to Shengjing with us? Or do you have any other plans?"

Yu Sanniang was very confused.

Her parents' family and husband's family are from Dafu Village. Now they are all dead. She has no relatives in this world. Yun Kexin is the only person she is familiar with. She doesn't want to be separated from Yun Kexin.

But she and Yun Kexin are just neighbors, not serious relatives. If she follows Yun Kexin to join Li Qingyan, she will not appear to be too shameless.

Yun Kexin put down the bowls and chopsticks, grabbed Yu Sanniang's hand, and said slowly word by word.

"One, get up, go."

Since she called out that mother, she seemed to have been opened to the Ren and Du meridians and finally could speak.

But because she was not used to it, she spoke very slowly and her tone was a bit strange.

Yu Sanniang was extremely moved when she looked at her hand being held.

At this time, Li Qingyan also spoke.

"Kexin just lost her mother. If you can stay with her, you can relax her mood."

Yun Kexin nodded vigorously and agreed with Li Qingyan's words.

Yu Sanniang couldn't help but look at the couple and her eyes were red.

She choked and replied, "Thank you."

She has lived in Dafu Village before, and has never been exposed to the outside world. She knows nothing about people and things outside, and has no money on her.

If Yun Kexin and Li Qingyan were unwilling to take her in, she really didn't know how to survive, and her life would definitely be extremely bumpy.

Li Qingyan: "Let's have a meal. When you have enough food, go to the inn to have a sleep. When you have enough energy, we will set off to return to Shengjing."

After his efforts, the tax reform in Fengyang County has been on track.

Moreover, he also trained some reliable personnel in Fengyang County.

Even if he left Fengyang County, those people could take over his job and continue to supervise tax reform.

The next day, the group left Raohe County in a carriage and returned to Shengjing along the official road.
