Chapter 68: Bad News

Tang Xu's two legs were like being filled with lead, and every step was extremely difficult. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info his mind was full of questions, but he didn't dare to push the door in front of him.

Who died? Tsui's mother? Or is it her brother? Tang Xu wanted to rush in to comfort the crying people in the room, but he vaguely felt a trace of unease, and this uneasiness was circling in his heart more and more urgently, making him almost want to pull his legs and run away.

With a squeak, someone opened the door before Tang Xu turned around. Xiaocui's mother, Zhang, held her son and looked at Tang Xu in a daze, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears on her face.

"Auntie." Tang Xu seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, he felt ashamed of his shamelessness, and deep down he wished that the first thing he saw was Xiaocui.

"Tang Gongzi." As soon as Zhang spoke, he burst into tears again, and there was a long silence after that. Tang Xu couldn't speak, afraid that a little sound would break the peace and set off a monstrous wave.

"Aunt Zhang, please mourn." At this time, another strong man came out of the door, and he said to Zhang that the time had come. Zhang nodded tearfully and whispered Let's go.

"Auntie!" A little boy came out with the strong man, and when Zhang saw it, he hurriedly bent down and hugged him into his arms, Tang Xu could see clearly that this was Xiao Cui's younger brother. He couldn't bear it any longer, his questions were full of sorrow, he was so sad that he couldn't shed tears, and his heart was filled with empty sorrow, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

"What the hell is going on? Xiao Cui her. Tang Xu muttered. When Zhang heard the word Xiaocui, he couldn't help but not let him cry. Tang Xu regained some consciousness at this time, and he grabbed Zhang's arm and unconsciously strengthened it, making her expression look a little painful.

"Xiaocui is okay, right? Aunt? Yes? Answer me! She's fine, right? Tang Xu kept asking, Zhang only looked at him sadly and didn't speak, Tang Xu's inquiry finally turned into a silent murmur, and finally his hands were loosened and the whole person knelt on the ground.

The funeral procession was about to leave, and it was said that it was a procession, but there were only five people, two of whom carried a small black coffin, and the other two threw paper money into the sky one after the other, and the strong man led the way in front of his head.

Tang Xu silently followed the funeral team to the outskirts of the city, and along the way he heard heavy footsteps, the sobbing of Ai Ai during Zhang's period, and Xiaocui's younger brother Bao'er said these brainless words, but what he heard most clearly was the sound of his own heartbeat, which seemed to jump out of his body.

"Don't go! Tell me why Cui died? What's going on? Seeing that he was getting farther and farther, getting closer and closer to the place of burial, Tang Xu's heart became more and more flustered, he rushed to the front to block the way of the team, and the people suddenly became commotion, and the strong man just now pushed Tang Xu aside impatiently, saying don't get in the way, everyone will suffer if you miss the hour.

"Xiaocui is a good person, even if he dies, he won't do evil, how can he let you suffer, you get out of me! Get out of here! Tang Xu rushed over and grabbed the strong man's shirt and tore it madly, the strong man couldn't resist Tang Xu's brute force for a while, and he scuffled and fell to the ground. The people around rushed up and wanted to beat Tang Xu, who was in the way. Seeing this, Zhang hurriedly came over to persuade him, and promised everyone that he would not let Tang Xu out of trouble again, so he rescued him from the pile of people in the midst of cursing.

"Thank you, auntie." Tang Xu was beaten and calmed down, but he was still sad and kept crying.

When he arrived at the burial place, someone had already dug a pit waiting for the coffin to go in, Tang Xu wanted to take another look at Xiaocui but was blocked by the strong man, he said that the hour was almost past and could not be delayed any longer.

"Just let me take one last look at Xiao Cui! I beg you! Tang Xu knelt down and kowtowed to the strong man, but the man was unmoved.

"Tang Gongzi, don't look at it, Xiaocui, before she leaves. It's just that she doesn't look like anyone, and Xiao Cui definitely wants you to always look good when you think of her. Zhang choked up, Bao'er also seemed to sense the unusualness here, and never spoke again with a serious face since she arrived at the cemetery. Tang Xu was also a little apprehensive when he heard her say this, and after hesitation, Xiao Cui's coffin had already been put into the dirt pit. He stood on the edge of the pit in a daze, watching the soil and bury Xiaocui's coffin little by little.

"Tang Gongzi mourns, Xiaocui has not lived in vain if she can treat you sincerely in this life, but it's a pity that she can't grow old with you." Zhang's eyes turned red again as he spoke.

"Auntie, although Xiaocui and I haven't married yet, I have long regarded you as my own mother. My mother-in-law is on top, Xiaocui is gone, let me serve you instead of Xiaocui from now on, and I will also take good care of Xiaobao and let him grow up well. Tang Xu knelt in front of the Zhang family and bowed deeply.

Zhang was greatly moved, but he felt that it was inappropriate, Tang Xugui was the head of the Imperial Medical Hall, and his future was limitless, how could he drag him down? How can you become a widower before you get married? Thinking of this, she shook her head and refused to agree. Tang Xu kept kneeling without waiting for Zhang's nod, refusing to get up no matter how much she persuaded her, so Zhang had no choice but to nod and admit it.

"It's just that this mother-in-law doesn't mention it, if you have the heart to take care of my orphans and widows for Xiaocui, you can recognize me as a godmother." Zhang's son who suffered the pain of losing his daughter this night and gained great love and righteousness can be described as having mixed feelings and unsettled.

"No, Xiaocui is my wife, even if she is separated forever today, she is the only wife in my life Tang Xu." Tang Xu was very sad, but his mind did not change. Zhang saw that he had made up his mind and no longer persuaded him, but in his heart, he even felt even more pity for his daughter who left early, and let such a person with deep affection and righteousness be alone from now on. After the funeral, a few people who came with them went back first, Xiaocui's family was also poor, and it was good to have a coffin to find a place to bury, and there was no other ceremony. An old man, a young man and a small child stood by Xiaocui's tomb, no one spoke, and Bao'er also seemed very honest.

"Mother-in-law, how did Xiaocui go? What kind of disease do you get? Why don't you come to me? Tang Xu asked several times but couldn't get an answer, Zhang seemed to be a lot calmer now, and then confided his questions again, he couldn't accept Xiao Cui's death no matter what.

"Ugh." Zhang knew that he couldn't just let this matter pass.

"I know that you are reading Xiaocui, and you won't ask for an understanding. But I don't really know what's going on. Zhang sighed.

"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? What do you mean you don't understand what's going on? Zhang's words made Tang Xu stunned, Zhang didn't know how Xiaocui died? How is this possible.

"Xiaocui went out to buy things this morning, and I didn't feel anything wrong when I came back at noon, she didn't come out after she returned to the house, and I said that she was tired and wanted to sleep and didn't pay attention to her. It wasn't until the sun went down that I couldn't see her that I was worried. But as soon as I entered. Zhang said as he spoke, and the suppressed sadness rolled again, and although Tang Xu wanted to know the truth, he couldn't bear to be too persecuted.

"When I went in, I saw that Xiaocui was lying upright on the bed, with no blood at all, her face was purple and black, and she was also out of breath." Zhang finally couldn't help crying when he said this, and Tang Xu also shed tears, but he always felt that something was wrong, Zhang's words were spinning in his head, but he was not as sad as just now.

"Have you ever called a doctor to come and see it?" Tang Xu asked. Zhang shook his head and said that she had been out of breath for a long time, and she was cold and cold, and there were a lot of spots that she couldn't tell what they were, and the whole person stinked, and the Da Luo Immortal couldn't save her, so why should I make her suffer again.

"When did Xiao Cui enter the coffin?" Tang Xu originally thought that there was fraud in it, but Zhang said that Xiaocui's corpse was stinking, and it was unlikely that he would fake his death or faint, so his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and the last glimmer of hope was gone.

"The marriage became a funeral, and Brother Liu, who originally helped me organize the wedding, was also very sad to see that Xiaocui was gone, but there was no way, so I found someone to buy a coffin for Xiaocui. He also said that it would take at least a few days for a person to lose shape and smell after death, and Xiao Cui had just lost his anger and was like this, but he was afraid that he would be a corpse, so we hurriedly buried him. Zhang also said that thanks to Brother Liu's help in taking care of the front and back, otherwise she would definitely not be able to let Xiaocui settle down so quickly with a little woman and a child. The Liu brother that Zhang said was a strong man who blocked Tang Xu several times, and Tang Xu thought that the big man was still a kind person, so he had less grudge against him.

"Auntie, let me guard Xiaocui here." Xiaocui went into the soil for peace, and Tang Xu's heart was buried in the loess with her. Zhang's original grief was unbearable, but Tang Xu's infatuated appearance taught her to feel distressed and comforted him, and her sadness subsided a little.

"Okay, you and Xiaocui can talk again, but you don't have to grieve too much if you can't come back to life, and you have to take care of your body, so that Xiaocui will feel relieved if she has a spirit in the sky." Zhang's exhaustion was already a little unbearable, and Bao'er was still a child, so it was not suitable to stay in such a yin place for a long time, so Zhang told Tang Xu to take his son home first.
