"Where to go?" Blacksmith Luo asked loudly.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Uncle, help me go to the old house and call my fourth uncle and third brother."
"become!"
Blacksmith Luo ran out of the courtyard door in a rage.
In the yard, Yang Ruoqing turned around and said to Mrs. Sun: "Mom, don't panic. They have all rushed over. Uncle Fu and Wang Sheng should also have gone to call. My father's fate should be fine."
"Come on, let's go inside first and wait."
However, the soles of Sun's feet were soft, and her legs were like two boiled slender legs. It seemed that she could not support her body even if she moved a little.
Seeing Sun's shaky state, Yang Ruoqing hurriedly supported her, and Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuilian helped her into the main room and sat down.
Wang Cuilian was there to comfort Mrs. Sun, while Yang Ruoqing made a bowl of honey water and stuffed it into Mrs. Sun's hand to calm her mind.
After a while, there were footsteps outside again, heading to Yang Huazhong's yard next door, followed by Bao Suyun's voice.
Yang Ruoqing said: "My fifth aunt must have heard the commotion and came out to take a look. I will go and take care of her."
As soon as Yang Ruoqing arrived in the yard, she saw Bao Suyun coming to the Luo family.
"Qing'er, what's going on? You all have bright lights at night, and your parents are not at home..."
"My mother is here with me. Something happened. Fifth Aunt, come quickly."
Bao Suyun entered the main room and saw Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun held Bao Suyun's hand tightly and roughly talked about Lao Yangtou. Bao Suyun's reaction was even more panicked than Mrs. Sun's.
In an instant, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian had one more person to take care of and comfort, and they also had one more bowl of honey water to soak.
"It's not enough to just wait here. Why don't we go there together to see how Master is doing?"
Yang Ruoqing saw the state of Sun and Bao Suyun, and saw the thick dark circles under the eyes of aunt Wang Cuilian. Yang Ruoqing knew that the former would definitely not be able to sleep tonight, while the latter was so exhausted that she could fall asleep standing up.
"Can we go see it?" Bao Suyun asked.
There was anxiety and worry on her face, but she hesitated to let her go to the scene.
"Instead of wondering here, it would be more secure to go to the scene to understand the situation." Yang Ruoqing said.
Bao Suyun shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to go, I'm afraid that it will be unlucky for us women to go and it will be bad for your father..."
Yang Ruoqing was stunned, what did the fifth aunt say? Does she regard herself as the god of plague?
Mrs. Sun stood by and explained: "I understand what your fifth aunt means. We farmers have taboos. We have to go out for business early in the morning. It is unlucky to meet a woman on the way. In a situation like yours, the house is full of men. , If you are masculine and have strong fire nature, evil spirits will be scared away. We women are feminine, so we are afraid that it will be detrimental to your father."
Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes in her heart, "My father is already seeking his own death, so why should he be afraid of evil spirits? We go to see him with good intentions because we care about him. It's good that we don't think he's unlucky."
"If mother and fifth aunt don't go, I'll go by myself. It's better than staying here and wondering!"
As a result, Sun and Wang Cuilian came together to stop her.
"Qing'er, you can't go even more. You're still pregnant with a baby. You can't go to a place where stolen goods are stolen. You'll bump into the baby."
Yang Ruoqing was completely speechless. She was afraid of wolves in the past and tigers in the back. There were so many taboos on a simple thing. It was enough for ancient women to impose so many chains on themselves!
"Don't worry, my baby and I are both strong, we have nothing to fear!"
Yang Ruoqing said, "I'm going over there to inquire about the situation. I won't go to my father. Besides, my fourth uncle and third brother should have passed by now, so I have to go and take a look."
"Forget it, let's go together then. The worst we can do is wait in the yard and wait for news."
In the end, Sun's maternal love prevailed and she insisted on accompanying Yang Ruoqing.
She was even more worried when her daughter was left alone in the middle of the night.
Bao Suyun also stood up, "Okay, then I'll go back and talk to Guiling and Mianmian first, so as not to worry them."
In the house of Lao Yangtou in the south of the village.
In the small house without a village or shop, the lights were brightly lit at the moment. All the men from the old Yang family rushed over, including the Luo family and his son, as well as Fu Bo Wangsheng and his father.
All the men were crowded in the room where old Yangtou lived, making noisy noises. Yang Ruoqing poked her head in and saw that the bed was so crowded that she couldn't see anything.
Before she poked her head into the room, she took a few deep breaths and adjusted herself to welcome the depressing, solemn and dignified atmosphere.
I have even thought about the theme of this room tonight:
Shock! An old man in his seventies took poison for love, and all his children and grandchildren cried bitterly...
However, she didn't hear the cries of the Yang brothers, but what she heard was Old Yang's long-drawn wailing.
"Let me die, death will be a relief..."
"It's boring to live, it's boring..."
Yang Ruoqing was slightly surprised. She sounded a little weak when she heard the voice, but it was full of anger. She didn't look like a seventy-year-old man struggling on the verge of death!
"Qing'er, don't look away, come back quickly!"
Not far behind her, Mrs. Sun was shouting anxiously, waving at the same time.
Yang Ruoqing didn't want Mrs. Sun to worry too much, so she quickly retreated.
Luo Fengtang was originally in the innermost part of the crowd. Amidst the noise, he faintly heard someone calling Yang Ruoqing's name.
As if telepathically, he turned his head towards the door and saw that the familiar corner of clothes had disappeared.
Yang Ruoqing came to the yard and stood with Sun and Bao Suyun.
Mrs. Sun grabbed her hand and said in an anxious and reproachful tone: "Did everything I said to you on the road fall on deaf ears? You move forward as soon as you come, and you don't listen!"
Yang Ruoqing grinned.
I came here with my mother and my fifth aunt, and I was really held back!
"Mother-in-law, fifth aunt."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. A person stood next to Yang Ruoqing, and gently put his hand on her shoulder. A low and gentle voice immediately reached her ears.
"Didn't I ask you to stay in the house? Why did you come here too?"
Yang Ruoqing looked up and saw Luo Fengtang coming out.
"Where can I stay? My mother and my fifth aunt have no one to live with. It's a mess. It's better to come over and see what's going on before I feel relieved." She said.
Luo Fengtang nodded but did not answer.
Mrs. Sun quickly asked him about the situation inside. It happened that this was what Yang Ruoqing was also concerned about, so she stayed silent for the time being and let Luo Fengtang speak.
Luo Fengtang glanced at the noisy room behind him, and lowered his voice to Sun and the others in front of him: "How do you say this? Yu Xingkui said that the medicine he bought for rats was missing, and the old man was frothing at the mouth and vomiting. You have diarrhea, it looks like you were poisoned.”
"Fu Bo and Wang Sheng wanted to prescribe the right medicine. Seeing that the old man could still speak, they wanted to ask him if he had really taken rat poison and how much he had taken, but the old man refused to cooperate or answer. Everyone was worried about this. My son is worried!"
