Bai Youwei and Shen Mo had no idea what was happening in the house, they came to the village and found that the family that had the accident last night had also held a funeral.

White lanterns were hung inside and outside the house, and mourners came in and out, just like the previous house.

If the frequency of one death per night continues, sooner or later every family in this village will have to hold a funeral.

According to the name book, Shen Mo found women who had no name and no surname like the Li family.

The men went to mourn, and the women gathered in groups to dry beans, wash clothes, and watch their grandchildren.

When they got married, they were all fifteen or sixteen years old, and now the oldest is in their seventies, and the youngest is in their fifties.

Even those village women who were only in their fifties described them as withered and gray-haired, not much different from those in their sixties and seventies.

Shen Mo asked them about the Li family.

None of these village women knew.

All said that they were not familiar with the Li family, and they had no intersection, but they only knew that she was the daughter-in-law that Li Lezi got back from outside.

One of them said: "Li Lezi is too poor to do his family's business!" ”

Another person laughed: "I am lazy and poor, and I still want to buy a daughter-in-law, this is called a toad who wants to eat swan meat!" ”

"Didn't you ask him to get it in the end?" An old woman with a wrinkled face sighed, "What a fool, and he is not afraid of causing trouble to the village, he actually turned one from outside, and he is considered lucky." ”

Some people said disdainfully: "What kind of luck, you can't give birth to a child, it's all for nothing!" ”

The atmosphere of the old times is full of contempt for women who can't have children.

Bai Youwei looked at them and asked, "You have been in the village for so many years, haven't you ever thought about going home?" ”

"Home?" The old ladies looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads, "What are you going to do?" The family is also poor, how can there be rice to feed the idlers, even if they go back, they will be driven back. ”

Bai Youwei asked again: "Has the Li family ever been home?" ”

This time, they looked at each other and fell silent.

Bai Youwei looked at them and said, "To answer this question, either answer 'yes', answer 'no', or answer 'don't know'."

You just said that you are not familiar with the Li family, and you should answer 'I don't know', but none of you said anything, which means that the answer is between "yes" and "no".

If she never went home, you don't have to hide it, and the most likely reason why she didn't speak was because she tried to go back, but you stopped her. ”

"No, no!"

"How could we do that kind of thing? Little girl, don't talk nonsense! ”

"Yes, she can't finish her housework every day, who cares if she can't go home......"

Bai Youwei tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Maybe you didn't stop it, but the men in your family stopped it." ”

The old ladies were silent again......

After a while, one of the youngest old women said, "If you can stop it for a while, can you stop it for a lifetime?" Little girl, don't talk about us as unkind, a woman who has lost her body, even if she runs back, what will happen to her? It's better to live in An'an, and it is right to have a son and a half daughter. ”

The old woman next to her nodded in agreement.

Bai Youwei asked, "According to your meaning, the Li family later voluntarily stayed in the village?" ”

However, the old ladies no longer paid attention to her, and took care of their own work, drying beans, washing clothes, and watching their grandchildren.

Bai Youwei couldn't ask for useful information, exchanged glances with Shen Mo, and could only leave.

Walking on the country road, Bai Youwei suddenly smiled.

"What comes to mind?" Shen Mo asked her.

"Hmm~" Bai Youwei looked up at him, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, "I suddenly found that the old woman in this village gave more information than the old man." Do you still remember the last time I went next door to Li's house and asked Old Man Liu those three questions?
