Chapter 34
When Nanzhi returned to the dam, he saw a group of people gathered around. It sounded like they were arguing about something from a distance. It was only when he got closer that he wanted to join in the fun and heard clearly.
"Li Zheng, so many people have died in the village. If you ask me, let's just bury them. What's the point of leaving them there all the time?"
"That's right, or just bury it quickly. Their family is already dead anyway."
"Yes, yes, bury it."
Shen Dashan's face turned black. He wanted to get angry but Aunt Qin grabbed his sleeve.
I can only suppress my anger in my stomach.
"Sister Nanzhi, this way, this way."
Hearing someone calling her, Nanzhi looked around and found Shen Miaomiao standing aside.
Seeing her clever look, Nanzhi nodded and walked over: "What's going on?"
Shen Miaomiao pulled her sleeve and pointed to a man standing in the crowd quietly, and then said in a low voice: "That's it, that Zhao Si, it's him who came up with the bad idea."
Nanzhi glanced at Zhao Si and thought about what kind of person Zhao Si was in the memory of the original owner. As a result, he couldn't find much impression after searching through it.
Then he asked out of curiosity: "What's wrong with Zhao Si?"
A look of contempt suddenly appeared on Shen Miaomiao's little face, and she said angrily: "Didn't a lot of people die in the village? More than a dozen families were even extinct. That Zhao Si was not a good person on weekdays. Now I'm thinking about the food and money from those people's homes. They said the bodies will stink if left for a long time, so I asked Li Zheng to bury them now."
"It's only been a day, and some people haven't cooled down yet, so Zhao Si came up with this evil idea, but he still had evil intentions and encouraged others to make trouble. He's not afraid of being bumped into a ghost in the middle of the night."
After hearing Shen Miaomiao's words, Nanzhi glanced at the people surrounding Shen Dashan and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Obviously some of those people helped rescue people this morning, but why did they fall out just a few hours later?
According to the memory of the original owner, when a person dies here, he has to stop mourning for seven days, or at worst, he has to wait for three days before being buried. Zhao Si has to bury people as soon as he comes. Will it look too ugly?
And not to mention those who still have family members, how long does it have to do with them?
Even among the dozens of extinct families, no one in this village has any blood relatives, and it will never be in Zhao Si's hands.
"Then which of you will take care of their funeral affairs?"
Shen Dashan looked coldly at the people surrounding him, his tone was cold, and his usual gentleness was gone.
A man muttered in a low voice: "What kind of funeral arrangements are there in this age... Why don't we just dig a hole and bury it..."
Although his voice was low, he was no more than two steps away from Shen Dashan, and every word he spoke fell into Shen Dashan's ears.
After hearing what the young man said, Shen Dashan's face darkened, and his voice seemed to be filled with ice, making people feel chilled all over.
"I've left the words here. You can divide their things if you want. Whoever arranges for a family's funeral can receive their things, but the house and land deed must be returned to the village. No one can even think about it privately. Come on."
After saying that, Shen Dashan snorted and left.
Only a group of people are left looking at each other. They just want to get those things for free. Who is willing to spend money and effort?
You need at least two taels of silver to hold a funeral. If you have so much money, why not go to hold a funeral for them? Thinking about it, many people turned their attention to Zhao Si who came up with the idea.
Zhao Si was complacent just now, thinking how smart he was, but now he was a little dumbfounded after hearing Shen Dashan's words.
He just wants to be extinct, so how can he be willing to pay for the burial of those people?
I asked him to just dig a hole and bury it.
Just as he was secretly cursing Shen Dashan for ruining his good deeds, he felt a lot of eyes on him, and subconsciously wanted to run away.
"Zhao Si, why don't you think of a solution to your idea?"
"That's right."
Zhao Si was a little angry after hearing everyone's accusations. He pointed at those people and cursed: "You guys are really shameless. That's what I said. You rushed to find Li Zheng. Now everyone can take advantage of it." Why are you coming here to ask me if you don’t want to eat anymore? You want to eat so much that you can’t bear two taels of silver, bah, I won’t starve you to death.”
A group of people felt their blood boiling and wanted to curse back, but Zhao Si could no longer be seen.
After watching the excitement, Shen Miaomiao clicked her tongue twice and continued biting her ears with Nan Zhi: "It's not a good thing for a dog to bite a dog even if it has hair on its mouth."
Nan Zhi watched the farce disappear thoughtfully, said hello to Shen Miaomiao and left.
The dog sat obediently in the shade of the tree and played with Doudou in Aunt Liu's house, staring at the ants under the tree.
When he looked up and saw Nanzhi, his eyes lit up and he smiled and called "Aniang".
Looking at the dog's appearance, Nanzhi's heart suddenly softened, and she smiled and waved.
Gou'er said something to Doudou, ran to Nanzhi, threw himself into her arms, and detailed what he had done.
"Mommy, the dog is obedient. I also watched the ants move with Brother Doudou."
After touching the dog's little head, Nanzhi thanked Aunt Liu, and despite her refusal, put two sweet potatoes on the ground before hugging the dog and leaving.
"Mom, are you still at home?" Gou'er looked at his mother and asked curiously.
"Yeah, there's nothing serious at home. The mussels are still in the basin."
Nanzhi said while changing the dog's clothes.
"Okay." The dog blinked. In his dream, the clam had grown two legs and circled around the house many times.
After changing the dog into clean clothes, Nanzhi checked the wound on his hand again.
The styptic powder works very well, and with the hot weather, a thin layer of scabs has formed. Looking at the dog's thin little hands, Nanzhi blew it with some distress before asking.
"Does the dog's hand still hurt?"
"Auntie, blow it, the dog's hand doesn't hurt anymore. Dogs are men, and men are not afraid of pain."
The dog was talking, his big eyes shining brightly. He wanted to eat obediently, grow taller than his uncle in the future, and protect his grandma!
Brother Doudou just said that his uncle is more powerful than his father!
Nanzhi didn't know about Gou'er's "ambition", so he just nodded to Gou'er with an affirmative look on his face: "Dog is awesome!"
After being praised, the dog's little face turned red, and he shyly plunged into Nanzhi's arms.
Things are not going well with Shen Dashan.
Two brothers, Shen Qingchuan and Shen Qinghe, had just come out of their home and found signs that the kitchen had been disturbed. After searching for a long time, they only confirmed that a bag of white noodles and twenty kilograms of new rice in the kitchen had been stolen.
After I came back and told Shen Dashan, the whole family didn't look good.
Shen Qinghe's expression was especially bad. When he followed his brother and everyone into the village to rescue people this morning, they didn't go to their home because they knew that everyone in their family was safe.
I just want to seize the time to save people.
As a result, when he went back to get food in the afternoon, he found that half of the house had collapsed. Fortunately, the kitchen was repaired last year and there was no major problem. No matter how much he rummaged around, all the fine food he bought for his wife's confinement was gone.
"Could it be that the earth cow turned over and was shaken?"
Zhou hesitated and asked.
Shen Qingchuan shook his head and said in denial: "I don't think so. If the ground cow really turned over and was shaken, there would be flour and white rice on the ground. How could there be no trace at all?"
"Here, there are still some in the cellar at home. Why don't you go get some first and eat them?"
Aunt Qin looked at her daughter-in-law who was resting on a pile of straw and said, Yue Po must not be hungry.
