"Uh......h Knock knock knock ......"

The long crying and low drum sound woke up the sleeping Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan, and the two opened their eyes only to find that the sky outside the window had already brightened, and they didn't know if it was because they were too tired to rush into the mountains yesterday, the two of them had no dreams all night and slept very deeply.

"It's a funeral. ”

Tao Mengchu pushed open the window, looked outside, and said to Gu Yaopan, who was lying on the bed in the middle wrapped in a quilt.

"So fast?"

Gu Yaopan subconsciously glanced at the corner of the room, the white mist was motionless in the soul suppression talisman, as if it was still, the noise of the outside world had no effect on her, and the little Gu worm seemed to be in hibernation under the white mist.

"Ellio...... Zhonglai ......"

The old witch father's old voice echoed in the sky above the Miao Village, and the long procession walked along the bluestone road all the way to the outside of the village, and the guiding words were vaguely chanted to go to the road to Bliss, Kun Yu followed behind the old witch father, leading Aji, who was staggering with the statue, and the pitch-black coffin carried by four young people followed the leader all the way forward.

I don't know if I felt the gaze of the two, Ah Miao, who was holding the old witch father, turned his head and looked at the window at the highest part of the village.

Tao Mengchu's eyes looked at him for a moment, and Ah Miao opened his mouth and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and turned his head.

"Brother Tao, Sister Gu, are you up?"

Ah Ruan came in from outside the door and looked at the two of them, his eyes were red, as if he had cried. A piece of yellow paper flew in through the window, spun twice, and landed on the ground.

"Ah Ruan, didn't you go with your father to see off Sister-in-law Aji?" Tao Mengchu approached the little girl and half-squatted down.

"Abba said that there are guests in the house, and the host cannot leave it alone, let me entertain you. Ah Ruan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at the men and women in front of him sensibly.

"Can we go and deliver it?" Gu Yaopan put on his coat and turned to look at the little girl.

"Yes, but you haven't had breakfast yet. Ah Ruan nodded, looked at the two of them, a little unsure if it was appropriate to go directly to see off the guests without breakfast.

"It's okay, we can come back and eat again, as long as it doesn't bother us. Tao Mengchu touched Ah Ruan's head.

By the time Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan caught up with the funeral procession, the figure of the old witch father had already left the gate, and the figures of Kunyu and Aji were tightly covered by the black coffin, and they could no longer be seen at all from the two of them.

The paper money flying all over the sky was like a huge white butterfly, hovering in the air and refusing to fall, and a suppressed mood spread throughout the village, and everyone's face was ugly.

Tao Mengchu slowed down slightly, and asked Ah Ruan in a low voice: "Ah Ruan, tell your brother honestly, are there still patients like Ah Ji's sister-in-law in your village?"

Hearing Tao Mengchu's question, the little girl was obviously startled, and her eyes were also vigilant when she looked at Tao Mengchu.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, we are all friends of your Abba, he asked us to come over to help see what is going on in the village, we just came to you, that sister-in-law Aji died, and now your Abba has no time to talk to us more in order to deal with this matter, we can only ask you to understand the situation first!"

Perhaps it was Tao Mengchu's serious appearance that convinced the little girl, Ah Ruan's gaze turned back and forth on him and Gu Yaopan a few times, and then asked with some suspicion:

"Can you really help?"

Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan glanced at each other, and finally, Gu Yaopan's face showed a natural smile and nodded affirmatively.

Ah Ruan's footsteps stopped, looked back at the team that was getting farther and farther away, and then looked at the two people standing in front of him, bit his lip and said:

"Come with me!"

This is a very simple adobe house, and Kun Yu's patriarch's house is not comparable at all, even compared with Aji's family, two houses that are half smaller than Kun Yu's house are next to each other, the yard is only a small circle of the door, and there is no common dried pepper corn decoration under the eaves, and some people believe that this house is uninhabited.

"This is the Ayun family, my classmate. While pushing open the courtyard door, Ah Ruan turned around.

Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan followed Ah Ruan into the courtyard, and glanced around the bare yard where there were no domestic animals, and neither of them spoke.

"Don't they have livestock or chickens and ducks at home?" Tao Mengchu asked.

Ah Ruan shook his head and replied: "Yes, Ah Yun's aunt raised two dairy sheep at home in order to increase her nutrition, but they both died half a month ago." ”

There was a deathly silence in the room, and Ah Ruan stood at the door of the house and shouted into the house, "Ah Yun, are you not there?"

After a long while, when Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan were both a little suspicious of whether there was really someone in the room, the door squeaked open, and a face about the same age as Ah Ruan but obviously yellow and thinner was revealed in the crack of the door.

"Ah Ruan?"

Ah Yun seems to be a little surprised, since her family also had an accident, except for Kunyu, the owner of the village, no one else will come to her house.

"Ah Yun, I'm here to see you, these two are friends I invited by Abba to help us. ”

Ah Ruan looked at his good friend's guarded eyes and stayed on Tao Gu and the two, and quickly explained. When pointing to Tao Gu and the two of them, he specially accentuated his tone, for fear that his good friend would not understand.

Listening to Ah Ruan's words, the wariness in Ah Yun's eyes faded, but he still had a little suspicion, but his hand had already loosened and opened the door panel halfway.

"Come in. ”

Ah Ruan saw Ah Yun agree, and then he relieved his heart and waved to the two people standing in the courtyard behind him.

The light in the room was very dim, and it was almost impossible to see the furnishings in the room, and the first time he entered the door, Tao Mengchu discovered this problem. Except for Kunyu's house, almost every room they have entered since entering the village has been shaded with light. Tao Mengchu looked at Gu Yaopan's face, wondering if she had noticed this problem.

"Can you really help us?"

Ah Yun stood by the fire pond and looked at Tao Mengchu and the two, judging from the eyes of her teenage child, these two people were too young, she remembered that Abba and Grandma said that only by living to the age of the old witch father would her Gu worm become very powerful, even the owner of the village, Kun Yu, could not compare to the old witch father, even if he did earn money with the people in the village.

"We'll do our best. Tao Mengchu said very sincerely.

After Tao Mengchu's eyes adjusted to the dimness of the house, he finally saw the situation inside the house clearly. Just by the wall on the other side of the fire pit, on a double bed, there were two motionless people, emaciated and withered, if it weren't for the light of the fire in the fire pit, the chests of the two of them had a slight rise and fall, Tao Mengchu would really think that these two people had been out of breath for a long time like Aji's sister-in-law.

"This is your parents?" Gu Yaopan turned his head to look at Ah Yun who was standing on the side, the child's cheeks were also very thin, and there was an unhealthy wax yellow.
