Her forehead was red and swollen, and blood was spilling out. His consciousness was also a little blurry, and his words were not very clear.

"Don't-no-don't-don't go-"

Xiaomei's mother used the last bit of consciousness to say a few words, and everyone understood that she wanted to use her life to win Zhaoxue's chance for her daughter.

Her sons and daughters wept silently.

Shumei came out of the house with Xiao Shuangning and happened to witness all this. She didn't want her daughter to see such a scene, so she quickly covered her daughter's eyes with her hands and took her daughter home.

Seeing this, the coffin bearers were frightened and did not dare to go any further.

Although Fu Jun kept yelling at them to hurry up, they didn't do it this time.

"Let's go! How did you go? What's there to see, isn't it just a madman looking for death, it's important to get down to business, hurry up! ”

Fu Jun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, circling around the coffin, constantly urging those coffin bearers.

"What should I do?" One of the coffin bearers asked his companion.

"This-" Everyone was in a hurry, as if no one knew whether they would leave or not, and whether the money would be made or not.

After all, this is almost fatal, and they don't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Are you still leaving?" The coffin bearer continued to ask.

The rest of the people didn't say anything, and looked at each other helplessly.

Xiaomei's sister was really forced to be anxious this time, she asked her sister-in-law to take care of her mother, who had passed out, and walked to the coffin.

At this time, many villagers had already gathered around.

As the saying goes, the rumors hurt people. She wants to rely on everyone's strength to buy time for her brother and win Zhaoxue's chance for Xiaomei.

"Ladies and gentlemen, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, I am the sister of Fu Jun's daughter-in-law Xiaomei, and it is my own sister lying in this coffin. Everyone is a villager, and I must know that my sister is usually in good health, and she is not in a hurry. Now he died suddenly, and he had a deep scar on his neck. He Fu Jun, but my brother-in-law claimed that my sister fell on her own. ”

"Little girl, if you don't learn well at a young age, what tongue does someone chew? Your sister's death was really an accident, and there were many witnesses present that night, so if you don't believe it, you can ask about it. ”

This is out of his own house, Fu Jun still has to take care of a little face, pay attention to the influence in the eyes of the villagers, his attitude is much more relaxed than in his own yard just now, and he knows that he is reasonable with Xiaomei's sister.

"Then why did you fall down by yourself, and you are still afraid that the public security will come to verify it? I had to take advantage of the time when my brother went to the town to find the police and forcibly put my sister to be buried, this is not a lack of heart. Everyone commented on my lovely sister, my sister's death is not clear, do we as family members have the right to find out the truth? ”

Xiaomei, the younger sister, is full of righteous indignation.

When the onlookers heard this, they all echoed in unison, "Yes, of course there is." ”

"Then as a husband, is there any reason for him to stop us from finding out the truth about my sister's death?" Xiaomei's sister struck while the iron was hot and pointed at Fu Jun, who was a little flustered.

Again, the crowd chimed in, "Of course not. ”

"Fu Jun! How else can you stop it? If you get things to the bottom of the matter, you'll be at ease, right? "One of the old men was kind enough to persuade Fu Jun.

"This—this—Am I not afraid of missing the hour?"

In the face of so many villagers, in the face of the crowd, Fu Jun didn't dare to speak cleverly, he had to find an excuse to prevaricate everyone.

"That's not right! I heard Wang Bazi say, "Isn't your daughter-in-law covering the soil at eight o'clock tomorrow morning?" ”

Who knew that it was a coincidence that Wang Bazi's next-door neighbor was also in the crowd, and he happened to hear such a mouth from Wang Bazi, and he saw through Fu Jun's lie in person.

"Really? Am I mistaken? Fu Jun was completely overwhelmed at this time, he scratched his head in embarrassment, pretending to be thoughtful, and prevaricated everyone with a mistake.

Everyone just talked about it, saying why he was so confused, and he could even remember such a big day.

He stood there helplessly, his expression was unusually ugly, he glared at Xiaomei's sister angrily, at this moment, even he didn't know how to end.

Xiaomei's sister couldn't help but sneer when she heard his clever quibble.

But no matter what, in full view of everyone, Fu Jun shouldn't have forcibly carried her sister away again, right? She breathed a sigh of relief, finally buying time for her brother.

She ran to her mother and sister-in-law, "A-Niang, wake up, I've bought time for my brother, wake up!" ”

With tears in her eyes, she kept screaming and fainting her mother.

The villagers kindly gave them advice, "Take her to the health center!" Let the doctor give her some medicine, but don't get tetanus. ”

Xiaomei's sister thanked her again and again, and asked her sister-in-law and younger brother to send her mother to the health center first, and she stayed here to wait for her eldest brother to come back.

At this time, Shumei sent Xiao Shuangning back and just came over.

She saw that the situation here was stable, she wanted to do something for Xiaomei, but she didn't want to stay there to see Fu Jun's nasty face, so she recommended herself to send Xiaomei's mother to the health center.

Under Shumei's kind guidance, Xiaomei's sister-in-law carried her mother to the health center.

The coffin bearers held the coffin in place with sticks, so that the weight of the coffin would not weigh on them.

After listening to Xiaomei's sister's narration just now, they wondered if they could only carry the coffin back, after all, the time had not come, and they couldn't make this kind of ill-gotten wealth no matter how much they wanted to make money!

This bad time will lead to bad luck, and this is a matter of conscience, and they must never do it.

"Brother, then let's carry it back and come back tomorrow morning?" The coffin bearer asked Fu Jun, who was stunned there.

This has come to this point, Fu Jun is unwilling to give up like this.

"This is all out, how can there be a reason to turn back? Carry it to the grave first, and then cover it up when the hour comes. Besides, what age is it now, and I don't believe these claims. ”

Fu Jun's words, it's okay to hold it in his heart, but when he says it, it will cause the anger of the public.

These old men and old women, who came from that era of believing in fate, have carved these customs into their bones, how can they let Fu Jun despise and trample on the things they admire.

Before Xiaomei's sister stepped forward to stop her, the old man and wife in the village stepped forward to talk.

"Fu Jun, what you said is not right. Although this is your own business, this custom is left by your ancestors, how can you let it be like this. If everyone follows you one by one in the future, won't it be a mess? ”

When Fu Jun heard this, his heart became angry.

How nosy? I don't know what's going on with you? I don't eat much, I take care of a lot of things, and this hand is really long enough.

"Uncle Wang, if you don't let me carry it up the mountain, I will definitely not be happy to carry it back! I don't know what it means to lure bad luck home, or why don't I take you there for a night? ”

Fu Jun didn't want to suffer a loss, so he returned to the old man-for-tat.

When the old man heard this, he was so frightened that he staggered back a few steps, and waved his hand again and again, "How can this be done, this is your daughter-in-law, what does it mean to stop at my house?" I- I have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

The old man realized that he was in trouble, and quickly pulled his legs and slipped away.

The others didn't say much, after all, they didn't want to stop a corpse in their own home.

"Go, listen to me, carry up the mountain." Fu Jun then instructed the coffin bearers to move on.

"No, don't go, didn't you say that you have to wait for the public security to come, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Xiaomei's sister shouted loudly and lined up in front of the coffin with her arms outstretched.

"Let's go, leave her alone." Fu Jun said and pulled Xiaomei's sister away.

"You let go of me, you don't need to go, you are in cahoots with him, are you afraid of retribution? Aren't you afraid that my sister's unjust spirit will come to you? ”

Sister Xiaomei's words made the coffin bearers feel cold. Everyone hesitated and didn't go any further.

"I know, we are strangers, and you are not willing to help me speak, but for the sake of the deceased, help me, and wait for the police to find out. In this way, my sister can walk with peace of mind, and the living people can feel guilty! I beg you, aunts and uncles. ”

She begged bitterly, originally thinking that the problem had been solved, but she never thought that Fu Jun would take advantage of the loophole. He easily diverted the topic from the question of the hour, and now he wanted to carry the coffin away.

She once again singled out the key points of the problem, and the villagers came back to their senses.

"Fu Jun! Didn't you just say that you wouldn't stop finding out the truth about your daughter-in-law's death? Why did you forget it in a blink of an eye? The kind old man finally stood up again to speak for Sister Xiaomei.

"It's-"

"I said so! Anyway, the time has not come, you just wait for the public security to come to check, everything is clear, and it is not too late to carry it up the mountain. ”

"I-this-" Fu Jun hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

"Yes! Don't rush to reincarnate, just wait! ”

"Yes, yes, wait."

"Go and move a few stools to put them, and wait for the police to come!"

"Zhuang Furong, you too, you are old, you don't care about your family Fu Jun, hurry up and move a few stools, don't crush these coffin bearers."

……

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, and I don't give Fu Jun a chance to refute and interject at all.

Fu Jun's mother, that is, Zhuang Furong in their mouths, is an honest and responsible person, how can she stand everyone's resistance like this.

She sighed and squeezed out of the crowd and turned back into her yard.

Fu Jun could only put his hope on the coffin bearer, and the little life muttered to the coffin bearer, asking them to leave this alone, just carry the coffin up the mountain.

But these coffin bearers are also normal people, how can they not see the cattiness in them, of course, they don't want to be the target of public criticism. Therefore, they no longer follow Fu Jun's wishes, and plan to follow everyone's wishes and wait for the public security to come.

Wu Ju followed up to persuade Zhuang Furong not to do stupid things, but she just didn't listen, so she moved a stool.

Just like that, the coffin stopped on the side of the road.

The coffin bearers stopped on the side of the road to rest, no matter how Fu Jun persuaded them, they still said the same thing, and when the police figured things out, they were also at ease, and they didn't want to become accomplices for no reason.
