Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dead Return in the Night
"Down there is Wang Shiqi, old man, you are ·····" Wang Shiqi looked at the old man, pointed to the people in the carriage and said, "Is this suffering from some disease?"
This old man is none other than the third uncle of the tea garden, he was ordered to collect the bodies of Miss Wanyu and her old father, not to mention the tiredness of running around, when he arrived at the entrance of the village just now, he was almost hit by the Yellow Turban officers and soldiers who were rampage everywhere.
The third uncle thought, no matter what, the things that the young master explained must be done quickly, the dead are the greatest, this father and daughter have died miserably, so it is better to go to the ground as soon as possible.
"Doctor Wang, please mourn, this is the body of Miss Wanyu, and her old father, I only found this gray charcoal····· The third uncle uncovered the white cloth, hid his face and wept.
Wang Shiqi was stunned like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and shouted: "What?" As if he couldn't believe his eyes, his brother-in-law was fine when he went out with Wanyu, and said that he would come back tonight to buy red ginseng for Xintong, Xintong couldn't wait for the medicine to come, so he left, and now the two are back, but they are separated by yin and yang.
"Not really, not ·····" Wang Shiqi held the carriage in his hand, looking at Wanyu's cold corpse and the charcoal-burning corpse of the old man next to her. He muttered to himself in his mouth, and tears flowed in his eyes, like a river bank bursting its banks. The whole person collapsed, decadent under the carriage.
"Sister Wanyu, aunt. Ruoxi and Xuefei ran over, and the two of them immediately cried into tears, Ruoxi took a closer look at the bodies of Wanyu and her aunt, and then gently put the white bully on and covered it from head to toe.
Ruoxi sobbed, raised her sleeves, wiped her tears, turned around and walked in front of the third uncle, knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you grandpa for sending Sister Wanyu home with my eldest aunt." Ruoxi choked up and asked the third uncle, "Grandpa, please tell us what happened?
At this time, Wang Shiqi came to his senses, helped the carriage and slowly stood up, and also knelt down and kowtowed to the third uncle to thank him, Xue Fei also kowtowed, and the third uncle helped them up one by one.
Wang Shiqi let the third uncle into the guest room, and the three of them carried the bodies of the Wanyu girl and the old man into the room, Ruoxi did not need Wang Shiqi's signal, that is, he went down to boil water to make tea, and after a while, he served tea to the third uncle, and the third uncle worked all the way, and he was thirsty, and drank two sips of hot tea, and his body was also much warmer.
"Doctor Wang, the villain was entrusted by my young owner to go to the restaurant to collect the girl's body, when I passed, I listened to the hotel shopkeeper talk about the whole process of what happened······ The third uncle talked about it in detail from beginning to end.
At first, when the third uncle didn't know it, he felt that Young Master Dongfang Yixian gave money, and Young Master Dongfang Yichen gave it again, and the two young masters spent money like running water, not to mention that it didn't take so much money to bury the corpse, even the lively maids also bought more than a dozen. In the end, he went to the restaurant and listened to the shopkeeper Wu talk about how the girl's father and daughter were bullied and killed by the bully Gongsun Qi, how the young masters fought with them, and finally Miss Wanyu died desperately blocking the knife for the young master.
The third uncle talked about the old tears, and the sisters Wang Shiqi, Ruoxi, and Xuefei were full of grief and anger, and finally learned that Gongsun Qi's wicked man was killed by Young Master Dongfang Yichen, and he came through a breath in his heart, but because of this incident, Young Master Dongfang was chased and killed by officers and soldiers, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
The third uncle took out the money bag, put it in Wang Shiqi's hand, and said, "This is what the young master Dongfang instructed me, I must hand it over to you, and I will see my aunt quickly." Miss Wanyu couldn't let go of her death and was worried about her condition. ”
"Humble Jing has passed away. Wang Shiqi choked up and said, "Wanyu, this kid has a heart." ”
"I'm sorry. The villain is late. The third uncle got up and shook deeply.
Wang Shiqi also hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said, "Third uncle, we owe too much to Young Master Dongfang, he avenged us and asked you to send Wanyu and the two of you home." This great kindness is unforgettable for the villain's family. We can't take this money, you must bring it back. Wang Shiqi insisted on not accepting it, held the third uncle's hand, and said: "Please ask the third uncle, the old man, to tell the young master Dongfang on his behalf, after we finish the funeral, we will definitely come to the door to thank you!"
The third uncle was embarrassed: "Doctor Wang, don't embarrass the villain, this is a little bit of our young master's heart, and there is also Miss Wanyu's singing money in it, you quickly accept it and bury them well." ”
The two shirked for a long time, Wang Shiqi couldn't get rid of it, and the third uncle insisted on refusing to take it back, so he could only give up. instructed Ruoxi and Xue Fei to hurry up and clean the side house and leave the third uncle to live, and then set off back to the tea garden tomorrow.
The third uncle insisted on refusing, saying that the tea garden was busy with affairs, and got up to say goodbye.
Ruoxi hurriedly went out, picked a basket of grapes in the yard, and gave it to the third uncle, Wang Shiqi signaled Ruoxi to put the money bag under the grapes and bring it back to the third uncle. So this money is worth the death and cannot be collected.
Seeing off the third uncle, the three of them returned to the living room, their hearts were heavy, no one spoke, grief and heartache occupied the entire heart, and it seemed that even the air was condensed.
Wang Shiqi found his own change of clothes, knelt on the ground, carefully wrapped the charcoal-burned corpse of the old man, and cried: "Brother-in-law, you died so miserably·····
Ruoxi pulled Xue Fei out and said, "Let's also wash Sister Wanyu's body and change into clean clothes." Can't you let your sister go like this?"
Xue Fei nodded and said, "Well, Sister Wanyu is as tall as me, and my clothes are just right." I'll go get it, Sister Ruoxi, you boil water. ”
"Okay. Ruoxi's heart was sour, and tears swirled in her eyes. Thinking that a few days ago, Wanyu was still singing and washing clothes with herself by the river. Now the yin and yang are separated forever.
The rain in the small courtyard has fallen, the mottled walls are covered with moss, Ruoxi quickly went to the kitchen to fetch water, the path made of broken stone slabs under his feet, the gaps are wide, the grass is dense in the gaps, the rain is slippery, if the steps are too urgent, I don't know what is mixed under the feet, the body swoops over, almost falls, only to see a big black cat, swishing out from under the legs, out of the yard.
"Nasty big black cat. Ruoxi said secretly in her heart, almost tripping me over. She boiled water from the kitchen and came out with a basin of towels, Xue Fei also found clothes, Wang Shiqi saw Ruoxi and Xue Fei coming in, and quietly withdrew to avoid it.
There is a difference between men and women, although they are younger generations, but the deceased is not their daughter after all, and this kind of thing is inconvenient for uncles. Although Wang Shiqi was not very relieved in his heart, the two girls scrubbed and dressed the corpse, not to mention that Wanyu had an accident, and there was still a knife stuck in her body.
Ruoxi put down the basin, pinched the towel dry, gently wiped the stains on Wanyu's face, looked at the dagger on Wanyu's back and said, "Xue Fei, you supported Sister Wanyu, we can't let my sister be buried with a knife, it's too fierce, and you can't find a good family in reincarnation." ”
