I looked up at the night sky. The sky in the east was already turning white, and it looked like it was about to dawn.
It was a really tiring night.
We slowed down a bit, and then rushed back to the village with Pomegranate's body.
The body was really heavy. We took turns carrying it along the way, and we were all very tired.
I don’t know how much red mud is in his stomach?
Coupled with the fact that he had to carry the unconscious fat man, the journey was really exhausting.
By the time we carried the body back to the village, it was already dawn.
Now Shitou's corpse is still parked in the mourning hall. He didn't even have time to put it into the coffin. Now there is another corpse.
I wonder how Niu Gengtian and his wife would feel after learning that their other son had also died.
Of course I can't imagine this, but just thinking about it makes me find it difficult to face that scenario.
If we look at the matter, it is natural for Shiliu to die. After all, he has a human life on his body. Even if it is his younger brother, he is still a murderer.
But for Niu Gengtian and his wife, this is their only remaining son.
Finally, at Niu Laosi's suggestion, we did not carry Pomegranate's body to Niu Gengtian's home, but directly back to his and Liu Cuihua's home.
After all, they have separated, and there is still a corpse in Niu Gengtian's house. It would be a bit cruel to carry another corpse over.
When we knocked on the door, Liu Cuihua still looked sleepy, and she was still wearing the thin white pajamas from last night.
But when she saw the corpse we were carrying, her expression finally changed.
Although Pomegranate's face was covered with red mud at this time, it was impossible to identify it, but when the villagers brought a body to her house, no matter how stupid Liu Cuihua was, she could still think that it must be the body of her husband Pomegranate.
"Brother Niu Si, what happened to Pomegranate...?"
Liu Cuihua quickly asked Niu Laosi with her eyes wide open.
Apparently she was still not sure whether what we were carrying was a corpse? So she asked him first what happened to the man? Not how he died.
"The pomegranate is gone."
Niu Laosi sighed slightly and said.
"ah?"
When Liu Cuihua heard this, she was immediately stunned.
But her first reaction was not sadness, but fear.
Yes, Liu Cuihua was indeed scared.
She looked at Pomegranate's body with horror on her face and said, "Why is it brought here even if the body is gone? What if it is haunted? Brother Niu Si, it's better to carry it to his parents."
When several of us heard this, we were all stunned.
Is this a couple? Her husband died, and he actually asked her to be carried to her husband's parents? As if this had nothing to do with her at all.
"Uncle Gengtian already has one at home, so Pomegranate's funeral should be held here."
Niu Laosi frowned slightly and said.
Then he comforted Liu Cuihua, "Of course the people in the village will help with this matter, so you don't have to worry too much."
"I'm worried that he will come back to me. What if he comes back to his soul?"
Liu Cuihua said with a pale face.
He didn't even ask himself how the man died, but kept worrying that her man's fool would come back to find her.
This is really weird.
From this point of view, Liu Cuihua probably has no feelings for Pomegranate.
This kind of woman's heart is basically controlled by her body, so don't expect to have any feelings.
"Even if he comes back, he just wants to see you. What do you have to be afraid of?"
Niu Laosi said with a somewhat unhappy expression.
For a woman to react like this when she learned that her man had died, no matter who it was, she would probably not be able to stand it.
But when Liu Cuihua heard this, she was obviously even more frightened and blocked the door directly to prevent him from entering.
"If he really comes back, will I still be alive? Brother Niu Si, you are speaking lightly. Are you afraid if he comes back to find you?"
Liu Cuihua suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Niu Laosi and said.
"this......"
Niu Laosi was also stunned by this sentence.
He is an honest man, and of course he would be afraid if asked to answer.
This is also true. After all, when a person is dead, it is completely different from when he is alive.
"Actually, even if you don't let the body in, he should still come to you, and the possibility will be greater. In my opinion, you might as well let the body in, take care of the funeral, and then I will help with the funeral. Give it a try and make sure he won't come back to you when the time comes."
I thought about it and suggested.
"real?"
Liu Cuihua looked at me dubiously.
"Of course it's true. Mr. Li is a high-ranking person. He helped us solve the problem of Tai Sui. There is nothing in this business that he can't handle."
Niu Laosi said quickly and firmly.
"Then...Okay then, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Li."
Liu Cuihua finally agreed and smiled shyly at me as she spoke.
There was a black line on my forehead. I really don’t know what this woman looks like. Her man is dead, but she can still laugh?
And that smile was so nakedly charming that it made my heart skip a beat.
Who can resist such a seductive smile?
Of course I can.
I waved my hand directly to her and said, "You go to the other side first."
Liu Cuihua then stepped aside and allowed us to carry the body into the yard.
The next step is to decorate the mourning hall, hire a carpenter to make the coffin, and then show Shiliu a cemetery.
The people in the village had already started to help organize the situation, and I went back to Niu Gengtian’s house with Niu Laosi and Lin Ze.
After all, the body of this stone has not been sent away yet. It is best to put it into a coffin as soon as possible, then carry it to the cemetery for burial.
After all, there is still one more thing waiting to be done.
When we arrived, all the helpers from the village were already here.
But most people apparently don’t know that the pomegranates are gone too.
Naturally, Niu Gengtian and his wife didn't even know about it. No one would dare to say such a thing to them.
I thought about it and finally gave this difficult task to Niu Laosi.
"Brother Niu Si, you should go tell Shiliu's parents about this. I don't feel comfortable speaking."
Niu Laosi did not refuse, and nodded directly in agreement.
But looking at the solemn expression on his face, it was obvious that he had not thought about how to speak?
"Uncle Gengtian, it's not good, my aunt fainted."
Just when we were struggling and worrying about this, a young man suddenly ran in shouting outside.
As soon as I heard this, I quickly ran out to take a look and found that Niu Gengtian's wife had fainted next to the pig pen, holding a bucket for feeding the pigs in her hand.
At this time, everyone in the yard also ran out, and someone quickly went up to help Niu Gengtian's wife up.
But after Niu Gengtian's wife woke up, she kept pointing at the pig pen with a look of horror on her face, and said with a tongue-tied mouth: "Pig...pig...pig..."
She said the word "pig" three times in a row, but the rest of the words seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a single word.
Looking at her expression, it felt like there was a pig in the pigsty.
I immediately realized something was wrong, so I quickly approached the pig pen and leaned over to take a look.
