Chapter 532 Hiding the Box
At this moment, a familiar voice came into her ears: "Doctor Niu~"
Upon hearing the voice, Ni'er quickly turned around and saw the bailiff walking towards her quickly.
In his hands he was holding a familiar cloth bag. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was the cloth that he had given him before.
A living person who was once full of energy has now become like this. Ni'er couldn't help but feel an indescribable grief and helplessness in her heart. For a moment, she was unable to accept this cruel reality.
She moved slowly, as if every step was carrying a heavy burden.
Finally, she walked up to the bailiff, took a deep breath, then mustered up her courage, stretched out her slightly trembling hands, and carefully took the cloth bag.
The moment my fingers touched the cloth bag, a strange feeling came over me.
She could clearly feel that in addition to some large bones, there seemed to be some warmth remaining in the cloth bag that had not yet dissipated.
The warmth passed through the fabric to her fingertips, making her heart tremble involuntarily.
She raised her head and said in a trembling voice: "Thank...thank you~"
The bailiff standing by looked at Ni'er like this and couldn't help feeling a sense of pity and pity in his heart.
He said softly, "Don't be so polite to me. This is just a side job. I'll take my leave now."
After that, he turned around and left.
Ni'er looked at the back of the yamen runner, nodded gently, and replied, "Okay."
Looking at the huge cloth bag in her arms, Nier couldn't help but sigh softly.
I didn't want to wrap it in cloth, but there was really no other way. If only I could find a slightly larger jar or wooden box, I could put it in it properly.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and I could not find a suitable container.
Nier wondered when the young man's ashes could be reunited with Xiaodie's ashes?
To get to that place, even a young man would have to walk for a whole night and half a day, and with short legs like mine, it would probably take at least two days.
I also heard that the roads there are all mountainous and difficult to travel on. I wonder if it would be possible to get there by taking a long detour in a horse-drawn carriage.
Moreover, under the current circumstances, we cannot leave this place easily.
We must wait until all patients have fully recovered and no one is infected with the disease before we can set off safely.
But for some reason, the number of patients sent here has been decreasing in the past two days.
Is it because everyone ate well, slept well, and took medicines on time to prevent diseases and strengthen their physical fitness, so they successfully curbed the spread of the epidemic?
Nier was really confused by this phenomenon.
But no matter what, the reduction in the number of patients is always something to be thankful for.
It looks like it won't be long before we can leave this place.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside my ears: "What are you daydreaming about? What are you holding in your hands?"
It turned out to be the master coming over.
Nier quickly came to her senses and looked at her master, only to find that her master looked much more energetic than the previous two days.
She thought to herself, it's true that doing too much work can easily make a person look haggard!
Then, she carefully held the cloth bag with both hands and lifted it slightly higher.
He said softly, "Master, I am thinking about where to find a big box to put this thing in. It is not appropriate to wrap it in cloth."
At this point, Nier's eyes suddenly dimmed, and her originally gentle tone instantly became weak, "This... this is... his ashes."
Zhao Jincheng felt as if something was blocking his heart, making it so depressing that he couldn't breathe.
It is really hard to accept that the young man who was once strong and healthy is now left with only such a small cloth bag, which he holds lightly in his hands.
"I'll go see if there's a suitable container. Put it down first. After everything here is done, I'll go with you to help them complete the joint burial. You, just take a good rest here." Zhao Jincheng said gently.
Ni'er was worrying about this matter, and it was like someone gave her a pillow when she was sleepy. The master is always so thoughtful and his words always make people feel comforted.
I don’t know where Zhao Jincheng found this slightly old wooden box.
Although the box looks a little mottled on the outside, its overall structure is still intact and it should be able to hold the ashes.
When Nier saw the box, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
After all, in a place like this, it is not easy to find something decent.
Zhao Jincheng carefully wiped the box clean, and then Ni'er gently placed the cloth bag containing the ashes into it.
What’s amazing is that the size of the cloth bag fits the box so perfectly, as if it was specially made for it.
"This is the perfect size, you won't find one that fits this well anymore!"
Zhao Jincheng muttered to himself as he carefully looked at the object in front of him, an expression of disbelief on his face.
I never thought that such a coincidence would happen.
Nier couldn't help but exclaimed: "That's right! It couldn't be more suitable!"
Her big, watery eyes were now sparkling with surprise.
Zhao Jincheng gently placed the box in his hand in a very hidden corner.
The corner was covered by layers of debris, and if you didn't look for it deliberately, it would be difficult to notice that there was such a box hidden there.
After watching Zhao Jincheng put the box away, Nier thought to herself, "Well, this place does look quite safe. I'm sure no one will be able to find it easily."
As she was thinking, she bent down and picked up some scattered straw from the ground.
Then she carefully spread the straw evenly over the box, making the entire surface look integrated with the surrounding environment and making it impossible to tell that there was a box hidden underneath.
Nier slowly straightened up and gently patted the dust off her hands. "Okay, let's go quickly. I can smell the fragrance of the food. My stomach has been growling for a long time."
However, at this moment, a figure hiding in the dark saw the whole scene of them hiding the box just now.
The man pondered secretly, thinking back to the rumors he had heard recently, and suddenly realized, "Oh? So that's how it is! I originally thought these two people were benevolent doctors who saved the dying and the wounded and healed the world."
