Paperman Xu and Xu Changlin naturally don't care about this little money.
Liu Tianniu has already talked about it, so I didn’t say anything else.
Huang Qi glanced at Lao Lu enviously before getting off the boat.
He went to call for a few people to come up and help carry the coffin and set up the planks of the ferry bridge so that Lao Huang could get off the boat.
Finally, someone carried Luo Yinpo's body on a stretcher, others carried my father's coffin, and another person carried my second uncle on his back.
A group of us headed towards Funeral Street.
When he returned to the paper shop promised by the paper man, He Zhi whispered to Huang Qi and asked him to buy some willow wood, locust wood, and some tools.
When He Zhi said that, I roughly guessed that she was going to make a coffin.
Sure enough, after Huang Qi left, He Fei told me softly that she would make both Luo Yinpo's and my father's coffins.
But she needs a lot of time, and the two coffins must be well made.
In the evening, we will go to the upper reaches of the Xuanhe River to check the situation. It would be best if my mother is here.
If my mother was not here, no matter what happened, she would tell me to stay calm.
Because only if you are calm enough, you will not get into trouble. Otherwise, you may be plotted by Wu Xianchang and fall into his trap.
I was silent for a long time. During this period, Liu Tianniu, Zhirenxu, and Xuchanglin all entered the shop, leaving He Zhi and I alone outside the door.
Finally, I nodded and told He Zhi to rest assured that there would be nothing wrong with me.
He Zhi's eyes were relieved now.
She raised her hand, gently wiped my forehead, whispered "ash", and then turned around and entered the yard.
After I followed him in, I saw the paper man Xu alone in the main room.
Xu Changlin happened to help my second uncle into a room.
The stretcher holding Luo Yinpo's body was on the floor of the hall, and my father's coffin was beside it.
The big ox lay leaning under the big locust tree, while the old chicken huddled on a treetop, drooping its head listlessly.
Liu Tianniu, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the courtyard, his eyes closed, obviously resting.
"Yin Yang, you and He Zhi have a rest. After you get some sleep, you can do other things. Chang Lin and I will skin the female body later. I will go upriver with you in the evening and let Chang Lin go to the Huo family and take a look. Things in Lu County." Paperman Xu patted my shoulder and told me the arrangements in a low voice.
My mind was indeed groggy, and my energy was almost at the breaking point.
Suppressing all the emotions in my mind, I entered the room where I usually rest, and He Zhi also returned to his room.
There is a basin in the room filled with clean water.
I washed up a little and then lay down on bed to rest.
Exhaustion made me fall asleep quickly.
But this sleep, I had a very restless sleep. Throughout the dream, I heard my dad keep saying that his heart was empty and that he was in so much pain.
Mixed with it was the constant sound of rushing water.
The final thing that was even more unbearable for me was the sound of the abacus.
The crackling sound of the abacus kept echoing in my ears, almost making my head split open.
And this kind of torture lasted for a long time. I wanted to wake up, but I couldn't.
I don’t know how long I was tortured. When I finally opened my eyes, I found someone beside the bed.
It was He Zhi who was guarding the bedside. She was wiping my forehead with a towel in her hand.
Xu, the paper man on the other side of the room, was pacing with a frown on his face, a look of worry and uneasiness on his face.
I wanted to speak, but I felt a burning pain in my throat, my head felt even heavier, and my cheeks felt hot!
"Wake up..." There was a hint of surprise in He Fei's tone.
The paper man Xu looked at me immediately, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Yin Yang, are you okay? You were talking in your sleep just now. He Zhi came over to see you and said you had a fever. She gave you medicine just now." The paper man Xu spoke very fast, but his words made me even more excited. Startled.
He Zhi helped me sit up and brought me a glass of water.
After I drank it, my throat felt a little better. I took He Zhi's towel and wiped my face, which made me feel better again.
"What did I say?" I asked subconsciously.
He Fei spoke softly: "One moment you call your father's name, and the next moment you call your mother. When you wake up, you keep saying
Master, I was wrong..." The worry in He Fei's eyes did not diminish much.
My breathing is getting heavier. I have thoughts every day and dreams at night?
I was worried about my mother's safety, and I felt very painful for my father to be like this.
As for Master Jiang Yihong, this is the second time I have dreamed about him since I ordered a house for the Ding family.
What does this portend? !
I even couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go back to Tang Town first...
However, now I can't let go of this matter.
At this moment, the paper man Xu said again: "It should be due to the long journey, excessive fatigue, and the stimulation in the village. I will take another dose of medicine later. Also, Yin Yang, you should relax, you Second uncle has woken up and is in the main room now."
This news finally made me feel a little happy.
I pushed myself up and got out of bed, whispering that I was going to see my second uncle.
My mind was still groggy, and I staggered a little as I walked out. He Zhi came over carefully to help me.
When I left the room, I immediately saw the back of my second uncle sitting in front of the coffin in the main room.
Next to him was an iron basin containing sophora porridge, a pile of peanuts next to it, and several wine bottles lying crookedly on the ground.
Paperman Xu said helplessly: "He has been haunted for a long time and hasn't had much to eat. He relies mostly on Yin Qi. I don't know what Wu Xianchang fed him. He drank some porridge and some other things." Okay, it’s just that he insists on drinking. I can’t advise him on this matter.”
I also noticed that the lid of the coffin was half open...
My heart suddenly suffocated. Second uncle, have you seen my father’s body? !
I lowered my voice and told Xu, the paper man, that I would persuade my second uncle.
I gently broke away from He Zhi's hand and entered the main room alone.
His eyes fell on his second uncle. His thin and sunken cheeks looked even shriveled, and his eyes were as red as bloodshot eyes.
"Second uncle..."
I called him in a low voice, and his appearance made me worried.
The second uncle turned his head and glanced at me, with a soft look in his eyes.
But in the next moment, that softness turned into another complex emotion!
"Listen to Paper Man Xu, what do you think you are, Mr. Yin-Yang? Mr. Yin-Yang who is more powerful than Mr. Miao?"
The second uncle's voice was extremely hoarse, as if it was bloodshot.
I hesitated for a moment, nodded first, then shook my head and said that I just had a very powerful Mr. Yin Yang as my teacher.
The second uncle suddenly laughed, but he was laughing and sobbing again.
Muddy tears ran down his face. He turned to look at my father's coffin and whispered, "Kneel down!"
With a "bang" sound, I knelt down directly in front of my father's coffin!
