As soon as Liu Shi'er was next to the stool, she reached for the snacks on the table, took a bite of the sweet and crunchy sesame cake and started talking.
Yang Ruoqing put the tea in front of them, smiled and nodded.
Looking at Sun's face again, she did indeed look like she was still frightened.
Yang Ruoqing sat down next to Mrs. Sun and said to her, "Mom, don't be afraid. Death is like a lamp going out. Once it's gone, it's gone."
Mrs. Sun raised her eyes and smiled bitterly at Yang Ruoqing, "Hey, it's so tragic. When I heard your fourth aunt come back and talk about it earlier... I didn't dare to listen."
Yang Ruoqing then looked at Ms. Liu.
With this look, Yang Ruoqing wanted to express condemnation and dissatisfaction.
But Ms. Liu didn't know whether it was because it was dark at night or because her eyes were dim, so she mistook Yang Ruoqing's eyes for questioning.
She swallowed the cake in her mouth in one breath, her upper and lower lips collided and talked about what she saw and heard at the resettlement site in the evening:
"Oh my god, it's really disturbing. They originally said they wouldn't let Daping Niang see it, but Daping Niang rushed over and tore open the body bag. There was no human inside. They said it was a water buffalo that was soaked black. Someone believes it!"
"Daping Niang was crying and wanted to hug Wangfu, but as soon as her fingers touched Wangfu's body, holes were broken, and the acid water in the internal organs came out from the holes. On the door panel and on the floor, dripping drops were falling everywhere."
"I won't talk about the stench. It's worse than a dead rat. Oh, by the way, his body and face were covered with leeches and leeches. One eyeball was soaked and squeezed out of its socket. It was so loose. It hangs loosely by the cheek, half of the ear has been eaten by fish and shrimp, and only one nostril is left, tsk tsk... I can't stand it anymore.
When I came back in the evening, my chest felt uncomfortable and burning, and I had no appetite. I usually eat five bowls of rice, but I made do with three and a half bowls at night. If I had known better, I shouldn't have seen him! "
Yang Ruoqing was dumbfounded.
Wang Cuilian was also dumbfounded.
Sun shook her head slightly, feeling both panic and regret, all kinds of complex emotions intertwined on her pale face.
"Qing'er, are you scared too? Hey, if I had known you were so cowardly, I shouldn't have said so much. I should have blocked my mouth!"
Mrs. Liu asked Yang Ruoqing with concern, then decisively picked up a piece of pastry and blocked her mouth.
Sun also looked at Yang Ruoqing worriedly, and gently held Yang Ruoqing's hand on her lap.
Yang Ruoqing came to her senses, and she first shook Sun's hand back to reassure her.
Then she said to Mrs. Liu: "Fourth Aunt, I was really scared just now."
Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows and was about to say something to comfort Yang Ruoqing when she heard Yang Ruoqing continue: "What scares me is not Wangfu's death, but your appetite, Fourth Aunt."
"You can still eat three and a half bowls of rice despite this. You are really..."
Sorry, I didn't learn Chinese well and can't find the words to praise.
Mrs. Liu didn't notice the ridicule in Yang Ruoqing's voice at all. Maybe she noticed it, but filtered it out automatically.
There is no way, people like Liu have a naturally high defense and are basically immune to physical and magical attacks. The only one who can defeat her is herself.
This kind of person is actually not bad, at least he lives happily.
I am more confused than anyone else, yet more awake than anyone else, and not tired.
A few people talked for a while, and after sighing for a while, Luo Fengtang and the others finally came back.
Seeing so many elders in the room, Luo Fengtang came over to say hello to them.
Mrs. Sun learned that Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming were also back, so she stood up to say goodbye. Luo Fengtang took the initiative to send her and Mr. Liu to the road at the door, and watched them walk into the courtyard gate next door before turning around and going home.
"How is the situation over there?" Yang Ruoqing poured him a bowl of tea to soothe his throat and asked after sitting down next to him.
"...It has been arranged. Cremation will take place in the middle of the night tonight. Cremation will take place first, and then we will hold a vigil according to the rules. At that time, we will invite Taoist priest Yuan to come over and perform a simple ritual. Since there is no coffin, we will put Wangfu's bones and ashes for the time being. Go to a Taoist temple to store it for a while until the water subsides, then find a time to lay it in the ground."
Yang Ruoqing listened to Luo Fengtang talking about what happened there, and nodded quietly, "Well, this is a good arrangement."
Luo Fengtang sighed lightly.
"Perhaps it is reasonable for Wangfu to end up like this. People in the village lamented, but I looked around and found that almost no one sympathized with him. It shows that he has failed as a person in his life." Said again.
Yang Ruoqing sneered, "Not to mention anything else, just the things he did to cousin Lan'er are not something humans can do."
God knows what you did.
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that they won't be repaid because the time has not yet come.
"Can you...can you eat at this moment? How about I go and heat some food for you?"
Wang Cuilian on the side saw that the couple had stopped chatting for the time being, Luo Fengtang was drinking tea, and Yang Ruoqing was sitting beside her in a daze with her chin in her hands, so she broke the silence and asked.
Yang Ruoqing then turned her questioning gaze back to Luo Fengtang.
Yes, he hasn't eaten yet at night.
Luo Fengtang looked at the aunt and Yang Ruoqing in front of him, with a strange look on his face, and said, "Forget it, I'll just go hungry at night!"
Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing exchanged glances, and both of them understood.
Wang Cuilian could only smile bitterly.
"As a big man, it's not good for your health to be hungry all night like this. How about you just make a few mouthfuls?" Wang Cuilian asked again with concern.
Luo Fengtang's expression was stained with embarrassment, and uncomfortable images flashed through his mind.
Facing Auntie's kindness, he didn't know how to refuse, so Yang Ruoqing said: "Forget it, Auntie, let him do it. It was him who pulled Wangfu out of the water with his own hands... Nothing will happen if he stays hungry all night." Chazi, you should go and have a rest after a busy day."
After Wang Cuilian left, Yang Ruoqing joked with Luo Fengtang: "Your ability to withstand stress in this area is far inferior to that of my fourth aunt."
Luo Fengtang held the tea bowl and raised his eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding Yang Ruoqing's meaningless words.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, then told the story of Mrs. Liu's previous night.
After hearing this, Luo Fengtang suddenly understood.
He shook his head gently, put down the tea bowl in his hand and said to Yang Ruoqing: "You go to bed later, I have something to go out for."
Yang Ruoqing was surprised and looked at the night in the yard: "Huh? Why do you still want to go out? It's almost time to go to bed!"
Luo Fengtang was very apologetic, put down the tea bowl and supported her shoulders: "Wangfu has no children, Daping Niang is a woman and has no idea, Xiaoqin remarried, her two granddaughters are young, and Wangfu's family members basically all have children. He has taken the fifth service. At this time, no one has come out to take care of his affairs. Not only me, but also my father-in-law will go there later. I will come back after the cremation is completed. "
Yang Ruoqing was not the kind of unreasonable woman. After hearing this, she could only suppress her feelings for him, put a water bag on him, and sent him to the door.
