The burial went very smoothly. The pit had been dug the night before. It was just big enough to put two coffins side by side. Although there was one coffin for each person, in a sense they were still a couple. Same point.
The reason is that there was no cremation, and a coffin would be more than enough.
Or it's customary. Ruan Shengwen placed all the things his parents loved during his lifetime on the lids of the two coffins, including tobacco pouches and embroidered shoes. The lids of the two coffins were almost filled with them. This made me feel that the old couple's There are really a lot of things I like, and there is even a potted peony plant among them, but the potted plant has grown grass, perhaps due to neglect.
The burial was filled and the monument was erected according to the time. After all this was done, the sky was already bright. After a simple sacrifice, everyone set off on the return journey.
Because the journey was not far, I walked back. On the way back, Liu Baye was discussing the marriage with the only elder of the Ruan family, Ruan Shengwu’s father, while Ruan Shengwen remained silent. Those who were wandering beside them would look back from time to time to look at the direction where their parents were buried.
When they were about ten steps away from Ruan's house, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from inside Ruan's house. This caused several people, including Mr. Liu Ba, to hurriedly turn away instead of running. He quickly rushed into the door of Ruan's house.
In the wing of Ruan's house, where the women rested, in Liu Qiaomei's room, four women were clustered together, and in front of them was Xiao Liuzi holding a bloody saber in his hand.
On the floor of the room, Ruan Shengwu, who had dyed yellow hair, looked pale, holding his blood-red crotch in his hands, rolling around on the ground and wailing.
"Sheng Wu...my son, what on earth is going on? How could it be like this!"
Ruan Shengwu's father exclaimed and rushed towards Ruan Shengwu who was rolling on the ground.
When Mr. Liu Ba on the side saw this, he rushed in front of Xiao Liuzi, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Liuzi indiscriminately, and then snatched the saber from his hand.
"Liuzi, what on earth have you done?!"
Xiao Liuzi was very angry at that time, but it was not because Liu Baye hit him, but because of Ruan Shengwu, who was rolling on the ground and screaming.
I learned from Xiao Liuzi that after our funeral procession left, Xiao Liuzi followed Liu Qiaomei and the others back to their rooms to continue resting.
But before Xiao Liuzi could close his eyes, he heard a burst of noisy shouting, so Xiao Liuzi ran out looking for the sound, and finally found Liu Qiaomei's room. Liu Tingting and others quickly followed. .
At that time, Ruan Shengwu wanted to be scornful of Liu Qiaomei. According to Liu Qiaomei's skills, he could use one finger to deal with such a bastard like Ruan Shengwu. But at that time, Liu Qiaomei touched her stomach for some reason, and the pain was so painful that she was dying. Ruan Shengwu was suppressed by that bastard.
When Xiao Liuzi rushed into the room, he found that Ruan Shengwu had already pulled out a gun. Without thinking, Xiao Liuzi took out the saber from his waist and flicked it...
After listening to Xiao Liuzi's narration, everyone looked at the bloody things as big as little fingers scattered on the ground, showing disgusting expressions.
"Qiaomei, are you okay?"
Liu Baye and Ruan Shengwen rushed to Liu Qiaomei's side almost at the same time, asking with concern.
"Brother, Shengwen, I'm fine, thanks to Liuzi."
As the parent of one party and Liu Qiaomei's brother, Liu Baye has been tolerant in everything from the moment he entered the Ruan house, but now it seems that he really can't bear it anymore.
He didn't care how injured Ruan Shengwu was. He stepped forward and grabbed Ruan Shengwu's throat and lifted him up from the ground. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Ruan Shengwu, how dare you treat me lightly?" Sister, I will let you die without a burial place!"
As a result, Ruan Shengwu's old man on the side also showed his original face. He blew his beard and shouted at Mr. Liu Ba, "Liu, if you dare to touch my son, try it. Believe it or not, I will let you go sideways." Leave Anyang!"
Who is Mr. Liu Ba? How could he be intimidated by that old guy? His men have begun to use more force, and Ruan Shengwu's neck is about to be broken.
Ruan Shengwen was extremely angry at the moment, so he had no intention of stopping it. However, Liu Qiaomei shouted at Master Liu Ba at this time: "Brother, stop, no!"
"Auntie, why are you still speaking for that bastard? People like this must die!" Liu Tingting on the side was also extremely angry and spoke to Liu Qiaomei in a louder tone.
I didn't interrupt because I also thought Liu Qiaomei was right. No matter how much of a beast Ruan Shengwu was, it would be fine if he was taught a lesson. Killing him was never a good idea.
Firstly, murder is illegal, and secondly, the power of the Ruan family cannot be underestimated in Anyang.
The third reason is that this visit is due to a marriage between the Liu and Ruan families. If Ruan Shengwu is killed, I am afraid that the marriage will not be successful. If the marriage is not successful, it will be a trivial matter, but what will happen to the child in Liu Qiaomei's belly?
Liu Baye also stopped his men's movements at this time, and seemed to have thought of all the reasons I thought. In the end, he did not kill the bastard Ruan Shengwu with his own hands, and threw him away with a fierce swing.
"Sheng Wu... son... come quickly, call an ambulance...!"
Several servants hurriedly carried out Ruan Shengwu, who was on the verge of shock. There was even a servant who carefully took away the bright red little finger with a ziplock bag.
It was Ruan Shengwu that Liu Baye hated, but Ruan Shengwen didn't have much resentment. It seemed that it was also for the sake of the child in Liu Qiaomei's belly that Liu Baye chose to swallow his anger in the end.
Ruan Shengwen is also a sensible person. Since his parents are no longer here, there is no such thing as his parents ordering a matchmaker. He has the final say in everything. He also said that after getting married, he sold his house in Anyang and took it with him. Liu Qiaomei returned to Tongcheng to settle down.
Hearing Ruan Shengwen's assurance, Liu Baye couldn't be angry anymore. After sighing, he said: "Well, if that's the case, then there is no reason for us to stay. We will set off back early tomorrow morning. When you finish the things here, just go to Tongcheng."
Early the next morning, we left Ruan's house and divided into two groups. Liu Qiaomei was accompanied by Liu Tingting and the others back to Tongcheng, while Liu Baye, I, Xiao Liuzi and I had more important things to do.
Of course, Liu Qiaomei and the others were not told about their trip to Xuchang. The reason Liu Baye gave them was just to buy some wedding items along the way and go back later.
In this way, we first put the four women on the train back to Tongcheng, and then planned to take the bus to Xuchang.
The ticket was bought and the bus was about to start, but at this moment Xiao Liuzi suddenly felt anxious and insisted on going to the bathroom and asked me to accompany him, so I could only hand the backpack to Liu Baye, and then He reluctantly followed Xiao Liuzi out of the car.
But who would have thought that on our way back, we were suddenly surrounded by more than a dozen police officers.
"If you want to run away, catch me!"
A police officer yelled, and Xiaoliuzi and I were escorted into a police car nearby.
When I was put into the police car, I turned around and glanced at the slowly opening bus, and found Liu Baye looking at us with worry through the window.
I smiled at him, opened my mouth and said: Godfather, it's okay, wait for me in Xuchang!
Liu Baye nodded heavily to me.
Liu Baye has a special identity. He has been involved in housebreaking for decades, so he will definitely not be able to withstand police investigation, so it is enough as long as he is safe.
In the Anyang City Detention Center, no reason was given for the detention. Xiaoliuzi and I were thrown into a cell containing more than a dozen prisoners.
Before leaving, a prison guard notified the prisoners that Xiao Liuzi and I had offended Mr. Wu of the Ruan family and asked them to take good care of us. He also said that he would come to pick us up early tomorrow morning. Just be alive.
