Chapter Eighty-Seven: Sacrifice
There were many people at the funeral, including many people who came from all over the country.
Looking at the coffins, looking at the corpses wrapped in layers of linen behind the ox cart, Du Jun and the three of them did not rush forward.
Hearing the news and seeing it with your own eyes are completely different, and the luck in your heart is crushed by the reality in front of you.
Zheng and Aunt Liu were paralyzed beside the carriage, trembling all over, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Whether it was a familiar family or a stranger, a team walked in front of them.
Don't dare to ask, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid!
If you are afraid of the answer, you are the person you are worried about in your heart.
They have been married and had children in the village for more than ten years, and there are more than ten or hundreds of people they know, know and hate.
Basically, they all knew the bottom line, and all of a sudden, these people were all motionless, lying somewhere, cold corpses.
No more talking, no more resentment, no more smiling, no more ...... All..... Not anymore!
"Aunt Liu, are you back?"
A sudden greeting, in the funeral procession in front of him, suddenly sounded.
Aunt Liu looked up and saw that it was the son of a friend of hers, dressed in heavy filial piety.
His mother walked very close to her in the village, and when she raised rabbits a few years ago, she often came to chat.
There was a sudden pain in his heart, and he stretched out his fingers tremblingly, his lips trembled, and his voice trembled.
"This ..... Be......? ”
Unspeakable! She really couldn't say it!
Don't be the answer she's afraid of! Don't want that answer!
The man knelt on the ground suddenly, crying bitterly, "Aunt Liu, is it..... Be...... My mother! My mother, she's gone! ”
Bang bang, kowtow to the coffin, again, again, every kowtow, it seems to be a heavy kowtow to the bottom of my heart.
"Sister Li!"
Aunt Liu shouted, ran to the coffin in a few steps, hugged the cold coffin, and cried uncontrollably.
"Sister Li, I'm late! I've come to see you! Why did you just leave! Two months ago, my sister and I were still laughing together! You also said that you wanted to find a good-looking daughter-in-law for your eldest nephew, why did you just leave! ”
Word by word, I couldn't cry.
The relatives and friends around the coffin couldn't stop crying silently, and a woman who had a good relationship with Aunt Liu stepped forward to hug Aunt Liu, and the two cried again.
Zheng and Du Jun also stepped forward to comfort, listening to Aunt Liu's heartbreaking cry, and the soft-hearted Zheng also cried in a mess.
After comforting for a long time, Aunt Liu relieved herself, looked at her friend's coffin with red eyes, and said to Zheng and Du Jun in a hoarse voice: "Gentleman, Sister Zheng, I want to send Sister Li and send her ...... This last ride! ”
Zheng patted Aunt Liu's hand to show that she understood.
Du Jun helped Zheng up, stood aside, and watched Aunt Liu follow the funeral procession to the cemetery over there.
In this way, the mother and daughter, standing on the side of the road, watching the funeral procession one by one, left in front of them.
Fortunately, they are not people that Zheng is familiar with.
After all, Du Jun came through time, even if he was sad, but the time was too short, and he didn't have much contact with these villagers, so he still kept calm and supported the Zheng family.
Zheng experienced the heart-rending cry just now, and the suppressed emotions in his heart were also relieved a lot, and he seemed to look down on a lot, patted Du Jun, and the two led the carriage and slowly entered the village.
As far as the eye goes, it is really like a family wearing filial piety, and the cries come and go, like purgatory on earth.
"The owner!"
Zhao Dazhuang's voice sounded on Du Jun's right side.
Du Jun turned around, and there was a courtyard on the right, and Zhao Dazhuang stood in front of the door, also wearing heavy filial piety.
"What are you?"
Obviously, no one in the Da Zhuang family has passed away!
"It's my uncle's family, and I'm a close relative, so ......," Zhao Dazhuang hurriedly explained.
"Boss, are you coming back?"
"I accompanied my mother, and Aunt Liu came back, and Aunt Liu went to the cemetery." Du Jun also explained to him.
"Oh! Then I'll walk with you, the village has not been peaceful these days. Zhao Dazhuang stepped forward and said after saluting the Zheng family.
"Huh? Why is it not peaceful, what happened? ”
The three of them walked along the village road, and Du Jun asked.
"Some of them were gangsters in the village, and when they saw that there were orphans and widows left in some of their families, they went up and grabbed things. There are also people who don't have a house, and they are looking for a house everywhere, and a few people have asked me about it. ”
"Well, what did I ask you?"
"Knowing that I have a house in Hewan, I asked if I could live for a while, and then move back when this side is repaired, I didn't answer, the duck farm belongs to the owner, so I have to ask the owner what it means. And then there's ......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Dazhuang began to hesitate.
"Say it, I'll listen, don't hide it", Du Jun said directly to him.
"The owner, the original family in the village is gone, and now the fifth uncle of the clan in the village is temporarily the mayor, just wait for the county order to go through the motions, and the matter will be decided. Now there are rumors in the village that you and Aunt Liu's house will be reclaimed and given to those villagers who don't have houses. ”
Zhao Dazhuang told Du Jun carefully the ins and outs of the matter.
When it comes to Zhaojia Village, the Zhao family accounts for more than half, so Li Zheng has always been a member of the Zhao family.
The person in this clan who is called the fifth uncle by Da Zhuang, if he is really a generation older than the grandfather of the original owner, Du Jun will be called the fifth master when he meets.
He was not much older than his grandfather, in his early sixties.
Back then, he competed with Zhao Jiacai for the position of Lizheng in the clan and was defeated, but he was still very authoritative in the clan, and many people obeyed his orders.
Zheng was on the side, and he also heard what Da Zhuang said just now, and he was worried about Du Jun and Aunt Liu.
After all, she has been in the village for a long time, and she knows more about this fifth master than Du Jun.
Seeing Du Jun's disapproval, he was anxious, and hurriedly said to Du Jun: "You are still young, I don't know this fifth master, it is said that he was idle when he was young, I don't know where he learned a skill, bullying men and women in the village, and later when he got older, he restrained a lot, but his sons and grandsons have learned some skills from him, and they wander in Yunxia County all the year round, and rarely come back." ”
Zheng's explanation made Du Jun even more confused, so how could such a person with character problems be Lizheng?
What you think in your heart, you naturally ask it out of your mouth.
This time, it was Da Zhuang's turn to explain to Du Jun, "Although the fifth master is a little confused, he is more bold, and naturally there are some people under him to follow, and he has a good relationship with Zhao Rui, the second son of Zhao Jiacai, who is the master, and they all say that Zhao Rui helped this time, and I don't know if it's true or not, it's all passed on by everyone below." ”
After listening to the explanations of Zheng and Zhao Dazhuang, Du Jun had a basic understanding of this fifth master who had never met.
said that she wanted to find a house for the villagers to live in, not because she and Aunt Liu's family were all women, and there was no man to support them, so they wanted to fight the house.
