It’s hot summer, noon in mid-June.
The sun was hot and dazzling, shining through the sparse clouds on the dilapidated yard.
Several houses made of yellow mud and straw stand in the courtyard.
After years of baptism, the walls of the house have cracked surfaces and are covered with moss and weeds.
The thatched roof was already somewhat dry, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time. A breeze blew by, making a rustling sound.
In the center of the courtyard, a simple coffin stood quietly on the ground, which looked particularly dazzling.
The wood of the coffin was rough, and even basic paint had not been applied.
A thin woman was kneeling beside the coffin. Her face was pale and her eyes were red and swollen. Her shoulders were shaking, as if she was suppressing something and didn't dare to cry.
Her tears fell from her eyes and fell on the face of the little girl in her arms.
The little girl lay quietly in the woman's arms, motionless. Her eyes were closed tightly, her small chest no longer rose and fell, and even her breathing stopped.
Suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded, cutting through the sad tranquility like a sharp knife.
"Third brother and sister, I told you to stop pretending like this. Why don't you spend money on the funeral of third brother? You'd better hand over the money that third brother earned from selling the prey."
"We haven't separated yet, so this money should be handed over to the public."
"Now that the third brother has passed away, don't you even take care of his posthumous affairs?"
The old man sitting on the threshold knocked the bamboo cigarette rod in his hand on the ground.
He pinched a handful of golden tobacco from his cigarette bag, carefully put it into the pot, and then lit it with a match.
The tobacco burned slowly under the lick of the flame, exuding a faint tobacco aroma.
The old man took a deep breath, with a satisfied expression on his face, and then slowly spoke,
"Third wife, you also know the situation at home. Alas... ..We don’t want to force you, but we have no choice.”
The woman slowly let go of the little girl in her arms and placed her on the ground. Looking up at the aggressive people, I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Father, mother, sister-in-law, Da'an really didn't give me any money." She said in a weak voice, as if she was worried that if her voice was louder, she would scare the other person.
"I didn't give it to you? Who would believe it? Aren't you the last person my third brother saw before he died?"
The sharp and harsh voice sounded again, piercing Chen Chen like the tip of a needle. Late Naoren.
Chen Wan was awakened by the harsh voices. She slowly opened her eyes. What she saw made her feel a little confused and confused.
"It's moving, Siya seems to be moving...""
Chen Yuanmao pointed at the little girl lying on the ground and said tremblingly.
"Master, grandma, Si Ya is really... really moving. "
Chen Yuanxiu followed Chen Yuanmao's direction and saw that he was shaking as if he was having a seizure, and his speech became stammering.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the man lying on the bed. The little girl on the ground also looked at everyone with round black eyes.
"It's a corpse!" "
Ms. Zhu screamed and crawled to the ground to run out of the hospital.
She had used a lot of strength when she struck just now, and now her heart was full of fear. She just felt that Chen Wanbai was looking for her life.
However, as soon as she ran to the door of the courtyard, she bumped into several people who had just entered.
"Daughter-in-law Dasong. , what are you calling? "
Village Chief Chen staggered when Zhu hit him and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, a few people behind him quickly supported him.
"Who asked for the doctor? "
When Mrs. Zhu saw that Dr. Chen was among the visitors, she immediately forgot her previous fear. Seeing Dr. Chen seemed more terrifying than seeing a ghost.
"Shut up! What the hell is going on? "
Village Chief Chen pushed Zhu away impatiently and led a group of people into the courtyard.
"It was just a push while talking, and Si Ya was He fell and hit his head on the ground. Everyone mistakenly thought Si Ya was dead. "Old man Chen pointed at Chen Wanbai lying on the ground and said lightly.
Village chief Chen and others saw Chen Wanbai's face as pale as paper, and then saw the shocking pool of blood on the ground. It’s a bit clearer.
“Since the doctors are here, let’s take a look. "
Seeing such a large group of people coming, Old Man Chen sighed inwardly and said helplessly.
"What are you looking at? It's just the loser pretending to be dead. Doesn’t it cost money to see a doctor? "
"Dad, Mom, what's going on at home? Where do you get the money for this loser? "
Mrs. Zhu rushed into the yard and shouted to stop her.
Chen Wan was lying on the ground, with severe pain coming from the back of her head. She looked at the scene in front of her in confusion, with a look on her face. Confused.
This chapter is not over yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Just as she was about to stand up, a large number of strange memories suddenly came into her mind. < /p>
When the memory gradually stabilized, Chen Wan was shocked to find that she had traveled through time! She was lying in the coffin in front of the little girl Chen Wanbai who had just fallen to death. It was her cheap father who was carried down from the mountain by the villagers early this morning.
At that time, the villagers immediately called a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Chen came. Got a handfulpulse, and immediately performed a set of acupuncture techniques to stabilize it. He also told the Chen family that they had to buy century-old ginseng to have a chance of survival.
When everyone in the Chen family heard how much money a century-old ginseng cost, they immediately disagreed.
The village chief tried to persuade her for a long time, but Mrs. Zhou cried and complained that her family had no money.
In the end, Chen Daan died like this.
Half an hour ago, Chen Wanbai's family forced her mother, Liu, to hand over the five taels of silver that her father, Chen Daan, had earned from selling prey before his death.
But Ms. Liu didn’t know the existence of this money at all, and she really couldn’t get it out.
The eldest mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, stepped forward to search Mrs. Liu. The original owner, Chen Wanbai, stepped forward to help her mother, but Mrs. Zhu pushed her down.
Chen Wanbai fell and hit the back of his head on a sharp stone, killing him on the spot.
Chen Wan, oh no, Chen Wanbai, reached out and touched the back of his head.
There was a sticky feeling on my fingertips, and my hands were covered with sticky blood that had turned somewhat black.
At this time, an old man with a long beard came forward and observed Chen Wanbai for a while.
He reached out and touched Chen Wanbai's wrist again. < /p>
The old man glanced at the bloody back of his head and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, Doctor Chen, how much money do you want?" Mrs. Zhou stepped forward and asked.
"We are all from the countryside, so forget it. Later, ask someone to go to my place to get some herbal medicine. The wound on the back of this child's head is a bit big, so I need to apply some herbal medicine."
Doctor Chen waved his hand. He didn't need this little money, so he just regarded it as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
After that, he put the medicine box on his back and ran away with the wind at his feet.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Chen family was in trouble, so he had better run faster to avoid getting into trouble.
"Brother Big Tou, what is going on?"
Big Tou is the nickname of Chen Ren, the old man.
"Hey... Brother Kangnian, let's do this." Old Chen didn't know how to speak.
"Uncle Village Chief, it's not that my third brother has gone. The money at home is not enough for the funeral. We wanted the third brother and sister to pay some money. But she refused, so they started a riot."
p>
Seeing that her father-in-law had not spoken for a long time, Mrs. Zhu quickly rushed forward and told the story in more detail.
After listening, Village Chief Chen roughly understood the whole story.
Logically speaking, if there is no family division, the money earned should be handed over to the public house. This is the case for every family. From this point of view, it does not mean that the Chen family is bullying the Liu family.
"Daughter-in-law Da'an, you should come up with this money. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law also know your current situation, so you can pay some amount."
Ms. Liu's eyes were red and her voice was trembling. She responded: "Uncle village chief, Da'an didn't give me any money at all."
Chen Da'an wanted to leave the money he saved from selling things to her, but she was worried that she would lose it, so she refused. .
Mrs. Zhou cried and howled: "My poor third son, your life is so miserable. You just went there, and your wife didn't even pay for your funeral... .."
Mrs. Zhu got the hint from her mother-in-law and immediately spoke:
"Third brother and sister, my Yuan Xiu saw with his own eyes that you found money on the third child. "
Chen Yuanxiu's eyes flickered when he heard his mother's words, and then he echoed loudly.
"Third Aunt, Third Uncle was carrying him down, but you rushed up first. I saw you touch a piece of silver on his body and come out. It was at least five taels of silver."
Mrs. Liu was so shocked by Chen Yuanxiu's words that she couldn't speak. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to respond. She looked at this person and then at that person.
In the end, she could only cry sadly again.
Chen Wanbai stood up and looked at this cheap girl who was weak and couldn't take care of herself.
What a mouth.
"Grandpa, village chief, there were quite a few people present at that time. Can the words of my cousin alone count?"
Chen Yuanxiu choked at Chen Wanbai's words.
"You and your mother are in the same group, of course you said you didn't see it."
"I didn't say it was me." Chen Wanbai glanced at Chen Yuanxiu contemptuously and said mockingly .
