Chapter 52
"What's going on? Why are you back so late?" Shen Qingchuan asked while helping to unload the coffin on the wooden board.
There are only sixteen donkeys in the village, and they can only carry sixteen coffins in one trip. They just came back this morning. Is there still time to bury them today?
It's hot now, and it will really stink if I put it on again.
"Stop talking, this time we encountered a robbery!" Shen Yuntian talked about today's encounter while unloading the truck.
Shen Qingchuan was stunned when he heard the three words "Jie Dao". Why did something go wrong last time when he ordered a coffin, and something went wrong this time when he went to pick up the coffin.
"We left early today, and didn't encounter anything along the way. But as soon as we left the town after pulling the coffin, we were blocked by someone. Fortunately, we all brought hatchets, and we fought for a while without deciding on a winner. Whatever happened, I ended up meeting people from Dashi Village."
A man was a little curious after hearing this. Just as he was about to ask what happened next, he heard another donkey braying from the entrance of the village.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
I saw about twenty tall and strong men leading donkey carts coming this way.
"Hey, you move so fast!" Shen Yuntian looked at the people coming over and waved with a smile, then looked at Shen Dashan and explained: "Li Zheng, the brothers from Dashi Village saw that we were being robbed and came to help. Be busy, otherwise we might not be able to come back now!"
"Really?" Shen Dashan looked at the twenty or so men in surprise, then nodded and walked over.
"I am Rizheng from Pear Blossom Village. Thank you very much for your help this time."
The man looked to be in his mid-twenties, and he smiled honestly when he saw Shen Dashan: "It doesn't matter, it's all a trivial matter."
After speaking, he waved to the men behind him and said, "Don't be stunned, everyone. Please help the brothers in Lihua Village unload their things."
Seeing the enthusiastic appearance of a group of men, Shen Dashan was a little confused. Although he knew that the men in Dashi Village were more generous and generous, was this too enthusiastic?
"Li Zheng, there are still seven or eight coffins in the town. We can just go there again in a while. We just had a fight and we are not afraid of being robbed. It will definitely not delay things." Shen Yuntian wiped his head. The sweat on his forehead.
Today's trip was really exciting.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work this time." Shen Dashan nodded and looked at the people from Dashi Village who helped unload the coffin with some confusion.
Even though he knew that they were all righteous men, it was enough for him to help drive away the robbery, so why did he help deliver the coffin back?
The man seemed to see Shen Dashan's doubts, and just grinned and said: "Don't worry, Li Zheng, we are not bad people. If you are worried, you can ask the third daughter of the Lin family."
Shen Dashan was stunned, who is this third daughter of the Lin family?
Although there are indeed two families named Lin in the village, neither of them has a daughter.
Shen Qingchuan reacted, "Is it Lin?"
The man was also stunned. Doesn't every girl named Lin have to be named Lin when she gets married?
"You're the fat girl? This is Lihua Village, right?" The man looked at Shen Dashan and Shen Qinghe with some confusion. The third daughter of the Lin family married five years ago, and she was the one who returned to Dashi Village when she became famous a few days ago. The messenger.
"Who is Fat Ya?" Shen Yuntian listened in confusion. Is there a girl named Fat Ya in the village? How come he doesn't know.
"There is a Lin family in our village, called Nanzhi, don't you think so?" Shen Xing was unloading the coffin and resting aside, but he interjected after hearing their conversation become deadlocked.
The man's eyes lit up, then he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's called Nanzhi!"
However, the name of Nazhi Nazhi is not as nice as Fat Ya. Thinking about how cute Fat Ya was when she was a child, but later changed her name to Nanzhi, she almost became as thin as a bamboo pole.
The men in Dashi Village originally went to the town to buy bricks, tiles and stones. Dashi Village was not as wealthy as other villages. The houses collapsed and many tiles were missing, so they listened to Li Zheng's instructions and took the people to buy some back.
Who would have thought that they would meet Jie Dao on the way. The men in Dashi Village are always very generous. When they heard that people from Lihua Village were blocked, they thought that this was the village where the fat girl married, so they all joined in with hatchets and wooden sticks. ended the battle.
Later, I asked Shen Yuntian why he came to the town. Knowing that he was pulling a coffin, he greeted him and helped pull it back.
After all, if the fat girl hadn't gone back to report the news, he might have been buried underground.
Shen Dashan thanked everyone in Dashi Village again, and then they drove the donkey cart back to the town.
Being busy is helpful, but you can't forget about things in your own village.
Shen Yuntian and several other people drove the donkey cart to the town to pull the remaining coffins, and the people who stayed behind began to prepare for the burial.
There were a total of ninety-three corpses parked in the shed, large and small.
Except for the dozen or so families who were extinct, there were a total of forty-one corpses. The families of only five of the remaining corpses paid for the coffins together. The remaining forty-seven corpses were all prepared by the family members who could not afford the money. A roll of mat was wrapped around the body for burial.
Seeing the body wrapped in white cloth being put into the coffin, no one in Lihua Village spoke, they just repeated the actions in silence.
After Shen Yuntian and his men brought the last few coffins back, many people with white cloths on their heads had gathered at the entrance of the village.
With the Shen family elder’s cry of “raising the coffin——”
There were bursts of whimpering in Lihua Village.
A long white team pulled up the hillside from the entrance of the village, whimpering cries and handfuls of thin paper money were scattered into the air.
Many people in the crowd were crying and looked so pitiful.
At the end of the team were Xiao Qi, who looked cheerful, and Yueyue, who was ignorant.
"Brother, what are they doing?" Yueyue looked at everything in front of her blankly, and grabbed her brother's little hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid of Yueyue. The bad guys are all dead. My brother will protect Yueyue and no one will bully us in the future."
Xiao Qi looked at the figure in front of him firmly and held his sister's hand tighter.
The originally spacious hillside was filled with coffins and rolled-up mats, and the white figures mixed in seemed a bit crowded.
"Yueyue, you're going to cry soon." Xiaoqi quietly approached Yueyue's ears while no one was paying attention to the two little ones.
Looking at her brother's serious face, Yueyue nodded. If her brother asked her to cry, then she would cry. He would not lie to her.
"put--"
With the sound of a coffin being released, coffins were put into the grave pit one after another. Seeing the two Liangshuan being put into the grave pit in front of them, the expression on Xiao Qi's face suddenly became lighter. They were really dead.
Hearing the bursts of crying coming from around her, Yueyue blinked hard, and finally pinched her calf quietly before bursting into tears in pain.
Xiao Qi hid behind the crowd, smiling and suddenly burst into tears.
