When a person is alive, apart from his physical body, the main thing he lives is his breath.
Cui Qiaoxiu actually died seven days ago physically, but she just wanted to spend another New Year's Eve with her husband's children, and she relied on this obsession to survive until the day before yesterday.
Therefore, her body had already begun to rot.
After listening to Yuan Bao's explanation, Su Ying's eyes started to turn red again after she had just woken up. She sobbed: "No wonder my mother lit incense in the carriage all the way..."
She wanted to cover up the stench of the rotting corpse on her body.
Su Junchen also remembered and said in a calm voice: "Mom also said a lot to me..."
It turns out that they were all explaining the funeral arrangements.
"..." Su Wenmao's cloudy eyes were filled with tears for an instant. He suddenly remembered the morning before his wife passed away. When she was changing his clothes, she said jokingly: It would be great to be married to you in this life.
At that time, he also laughed at her for being pretentious in her old age.
Unexpectedly, that was already my wife’s last confession.
After listening to Yuan Bao's explanation, everyone in Su Wenmao's family fell into deep silence.
After resting for half a day, the Su family took the coffin containing Cui Qiaoxiu and set off back to Dongqi Town.
Seeing this group of ancestors finally leaving, the wrinkles on the innkeeper's face smoothed out.
"Your condolences." He bowed his hands to Su Wenmao, who bowed to him seriously: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for taking me in these days."
If the shopkeeper hadn't been kind-hearted, I'm afraid they would have taken their wife's body and slept outside.
"Hey, I'm talking about the shopkeeper! Why is there a coffin parked in front of your door! How can I live here! No, you have to give me my money back!"
There was nothing going on a few days ago, but before I left, I ran into a picky guest.
A tall and thick man, with an angry look on his face, asked the innkeeper to give him his money back.
As soon as he heard that the trouble was caused by his own family, Su Wenmao got off the carriage and wanted to help and say a few words.
But the man looked unreasonable and slapped him on the table. Not only did he want his money back, he also wanted the innkeeper to compensate him.
"Aren't you trying to bring trouble on me? No matter what, you must compensate me, or I will smash your shabby store!"
The old shopkeeper was frightened by him and was in a dilemma.
I'll pay for it, but I'm afraid other guests will also pay for it if they find out.
Don't apologize, this person doesn't seem to be that easy to get along with.
"How about..." Su Wenmao was really embarrassed to embarrass others and wanted to go down and pay some money to settle the matter.
The little kid who had been shrinking in Su Junting's arms and didn't want to move suddenly poked his little head out of the blanket and shouted into the inn: "Uncle, God has eyes!"
After shouting, she said to the innkeeper: "Grandpa, don't be afraid of those who get rich by seeing the coffin."
After saying that, she retracted her head into the quilt and said to Su Junting: "Brother, go home, Yuanbao wants to eat chicken legs~"
Not long after the Su family's carriage left, a group of official officials arrived at the inn.
Then without any explanation, he arrested the black-faced man just now.
It turned out that this man was a fugitive for whom the government had placed a reward for a long time.
The innkeeper was rewarded with one thousand taels of silver by the government for reporting the crime.
Watching the officials take away the fugitive, the innkeeper, holding the heavy silver in his arms, couldn't get over it for a moment...
He, when did he report it to the government? Why didn’t he remember it? ?
---- ----
On the carriage back to Dongqi Town.
Su Junchen, Su Junting and their two sisters rode in a carriage together.
Su Junchen was almost dying of curiosity.
He looked at the little milk bag in his eldest brother's arms, and opened his mouth again and again, but still couldn't help asking: "Yuanbao, you asked me to ask my servants to take Xin'er out this morning, did you just go to report to the official? What did you do? I know that man is a fugitive."
After two days of getting along, he had already learned from his eldest brother and uncle what this newly found little sister was capable of.
I heard she was a fairy on some mountain.
It was really powerful, but how could she know that the man was a fugitive?
Although Yuan Bao was sleepy and hungry, he still patiently poked his head out of the quilt and answered seriously: "Because he has a pointed head and a narrow forehead, low eyebrows, and white eyes on all sides. You can tell at a glance that there is a life in his hands."
Not to mention the strong smell of the wronged soul that can be smelled whenever you get close to him.
After Yuan Bao answered the question, he quickly crawled back into Su Junting's arms like a kitten.
The two remaining brothers, Su Junchen and Su Ying, looked at each other in surprise.
At this time, there was another carriage.
Su Wenmao suddenly woke up from his nightmare, with cold sweat on his forehead.
I had the same dream for half a month, it was so weird.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Su Wenlin asked with concern.
Meeting his elder brother's gaze, Su Wenmao suddenly thought of something and asked: "Brother, have you ever had a dream these days, that is -"
