Yang Huazhong went home to hitch a carriage, preparing to take Old Yangtou to Qingshui Town. Luo Fengtang drove there. He would need another carriage to pick up Yang Yongxian and Xiu'er later.
In the Luo family, Yang Ruoqing briefly explained the situation to Blacksmith Luo. Blacksmith Luo said, "I'll set up the carriage, and you can ask Tang Yazi to come over and have a few bites."
Yang Ruoqing had this intention. When Tang Yazi went to Qingshui Town, he would probably not be able to come back until night, and his stomach would be starved.
Luo Fengtang originally wanted to retreat, but couldn't bear Yang Ruoqing's persistence.
"The affairs of Lao Yang's family are certainly urgent, but this has already happened. It's not just that you can change the situation by rushing there in a hurry. If it causes problems in your body, I would rather not allow you to go!"
Seeing that Yang Ruoqing was about to get angry, Luo Fengtang quickly relented, "Okay, okay, I'll eat. Is it okay if I eat? Don't make me angry."
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Luo Fengtang finished eating as quickly as possible. At this moment, Yang Ruoqing had prepared a small blanket for him to take.
As for the purpose, he understood. The two of them looked at the small blanket and felt a little heavy.
Watching Luo Fengtang and Yang Huazhong's carriage go away, Yang Ruoqing hurried to her parents' yard next door, only to find that only Xiaoduo and Feng'er were at home. Feng'er was taking a nap on the rocking chair in the main room, and Xiaoduo was doing needlework beside her, never leaving. Guard.
"My mother also knew about the big house. She cried at that time. She sent father and grandfather away, and my mother and fifth aunt went to the old house together." Xiaoduo and Yang Ruoqing said softly.
"I'm worried about my mother's health. I originally wanted to take Feng'er to accompany her, but mother didn't allow me and Feng'er to go. She asked me to stay at home and take Feng'er with me. I must never go to my old age. Go over there." Xiaoduo said again.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "If something like this happens, over at the old house...Anyway, it's important that you listen to mother and stay at home and take care of Feng'er."
In the banker's view, there is always something dirty lingering in every casual situation.
The eyes of children under six years old have not yet been completely closed, so they can easily see things that adults cannot see. In addition, children's own yang energy is weak. If evil spirits enter the body, they will get sick at worst, and...
"Duo'er, you are always guarding Feng'er at home. No matter where he goes, you follow him. I'll go to the old house first." Yang Ruoqing said again.
Xiaoduo nodded carefully: "Sister, just go ahead and take good care of your mother. She is feeling a little better today."
Yang Ruoqing came straight in from the main entrance of the big house in front of the old Yang family's house this time.
When passing by the door of Li Xiuxin's house, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but glance inside the house because the door was open.
The room was in a mess. The bed, the cradle in front of the bed, and the stool next to the cradle were all piled with clothes, and they were all Xiu'er's small clothes.
There were large basins, small buckets, scattered papers, and diapers everywhere on the ground. The strong smell of medicine was mixed with the stench of feces. It was obvious that Xiu'er had experienced something in the five or six hours from last night to this morning!
Jin's back was turned to Yang Ruoqing, tidying up in the house. Every spring when the cauliflower bloomed, Jin would be stupid for a month or two, but after those one or two months, she would wake up. In addition to working better than others, He is clumsy, unable to speak, and otherwise normal in other aspects. Otherwise, it would be impossible to drag Fu'er to the age of nine.
Yang Ruoqing did not disturb Jin, but went straight to the backyard.
In the east room of the backyard, almost all the remaining female relatives of the old Yang family were there. Even Yang Huamei rushed over. Everyone gathered around the bed, and countless pairs of worried eyes focused on Mrs. Tan on the bed.
Yang Ruoqing also came to the bedside and her eyes fell on Mrs. Tan.
The two silver needles on Mr. Tan's arms have been pulled out, and a forehead wiper is tied to her forehead. She is lying there with two pillows on her body, her eyelids open, and two white clouds in her cloudy eyes.
This eye should be a cataract. In modern times, an operation would be enough to restore sight, but in ancient times, there is no way.
"How is my mother doing now? Is her mood still stable?" Yang Ruoqing stepped back and asked Zhao Liu'er in a low voice.
Zhao Liu'er also lowered her voice and said: "I didn't cry anymore, but I didn't talk much anymore. My aunt came over earlier and persuaded her. She fed her breast milk and ate two mouthfuls of noodles. She didn't open her mouth the whole time. She just kept lying there."
Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly, it seemed that Mrs. Tan was really sad this time.
"It was me, I killed Xiu'er."
A hoarse and desolate voice sounded, so abrupt in the quiet east room.
"Mom, what are you talking nonsense about? This matter has nothing to do with you. It's all Xiu'er's fault!"
Yang Huamei pressed her nose and said angrily with red eyes.
Tan lay motionless, but his lips moved.
"My hands are mean. It was I who fed Xiu'er the tremella soup. If I hadn't been mean, Xiu'er wouldn't have drank so much and wouldn't have died. It was me. I was the one who killed Xiu'er, my great-grandson. Sun, grandma has harmed you..."
Tan cried in a hoarse voice, like a night owl crying for blood, which made people's hearts tighten.
"Mom, please don't say that. You are kind to Xiu'er. This is your love for him. We all know it." Mrs. Sun also consoled her.
"Besides, who would have expected that the food on the table would contain all those tricks? It's not just you, no one would have expected it!" Mrs. Sun said again.
Tan was still immersed in her own grief and self-blame, and murmured: "I still remember that I was feeding Xiu'er sweet soup, and the child's little mouth was smacking in thought. If I fed him too slowly, he would even stretch out his little hand to grab me. I rarely get close to the children at home, but something like this happened unexpectedly..."
It would be nice if I hadn't fed Xiu'er sweet soup yesterday, or if the person who fed Xiu'er sweet soup was someone other than myself, I wouldn't be feeling so heart-piercingly uncomfortable now.
Yang Huamei said angrily: "After all, in the end, it's all the fault of that poisonous woman Li Xiuxin. If she didn't take the medicine, there wouldn't be so many things happening."
Yang Huamei sat there and scolded Li Xiuxin, but things had happened. Even if Li Xiuxin was killed, Xiu'er would not survive.
Everyone could only stay with Mr. Tan in silence, waiting for the man to come back.
When the sun was about to set, Luo Fengtang came back first.
"Why are you alone? Where are the others?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Luo Fengtang said: "We have arrived at the entrance of the village. I have been sent back first to ask if my family is ready?"
Hearing Luo Fengtang's words, Mrs. Tan cried again.
Mrs. Sun wiped away her tears, stood up and said, "Everything is ready in the alley next door."
Luo Fengtang nodded, turned around and left the house to talk to Lao Yangtou who was waiting at the entrance of the village.
Yang Ruoqing frowned.
For children like Xiu'er, or for unmarried descendants of the family who have died, generally they cannot enter the main entrance of the home or have a funeral service at home. As for entering the village ancestral hall to perform rituals, that is even more impossible.
The usual way to deal with it is to find a place near your home to set up an incense burner or something like that, simply park it, wrap it in a coffin and send it to the mountains behind the village for a quiet burial early the next morning.
Therefore, Sun took Bao Suyun, Yang Ruoqing and the others to build a simple place for Xiu'er to rest in the alley next door.
