It's a pity that Zhang Xiaoqin still didn't react at all. Like a corpse, lying there motionless.

"It's useless for you to do this, she probably swallowed a lot of water into her stomach, and she has to press the water out first. It really doesn't work, and artificial respiration does. ”

The man who had just rescued someone was twisting his wet clothes while giving Shumei ideas.

Shumei then remembered that when she fell into the water when she was a child, Jizong and their way to save herself. So she hurriedly pressed her hands on Zhang Xiaoqin's heart, and pressed again and again with all her strength.

This method really worked, after a few pressures, Zhang Xiaoqin immediately relieved her breath, spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and regained consciousness.

She opened her eyes and looked at these familiar faces, no expression on them.

"I'm not dead yet?"

"Dead what die? If you can't think about it, you won't beg to die! This life is only this once, if you get to the Hades Palace, it's too late for you to regret it. ”

Shumei said as she helped her up from the ground.

She heard Shumei say that she was not dead, and there was a disappointed expression on her face.

"Why save me?"

"Eldest sister, what's the matter you can't think about so much? This ant is still stealing life, let alone a human? It's a big thing, no matter how big the hurdle is, there is a day when the rain is sunny and the sky is fine, isn't it? Don't do this kind of stupid thing in the future, go, I'll help you go home. ”

Zhang Xiaoqin didn't say anything, and with Shumei's support, she followed Shumei's footsteps in despair.

When Shumei saw her like this, she didn't say anything, and silently helped her towards her home.

When the two arrived at the door of the house, when Shumei went to open the door, Zhang Xiaoqin suddenly spoke.

"Shumei, I'm sorry, I used to treat you and Ning Ning like that, I don't deserve to be your eldest sister, I don't deserve to be Ning Ning's aunt......"

"Sister, let it pass! None of us should mention it again, this broken bone is still connected to the tendons! You are the eldest sister of Jizong, Ning Ning's aunt, don't you see the outside world when you say these words? Where did the family get from the overnight feud, didn't it? You see you're wet, hurry in and change into clean clothes, don't catch a cold. ”

Shumei said with a relaxed face and helped Zhang Xiaoqin into her house. After being busy looking for clothes for Zhang Xiaoqin, finding dry towels, pouring hot water for her to warm up, adding charcoal to the fire cage, and bringing the fire cage to her, it can be described as meticulous.

"Eldest sister, is it still cold? Why don't I bring the quilt over and wrap it around you? ”

"Shumei, don't be busy, I'm much better, sit down and talk to me!"

"Okay!" Shumei sat next to Zhang Xiaoqin and looked at her suspiciously, "Eldest sister, have you encountered any difficulties?" Why can't you think so? There are these, but the money, why did you burn it like burning paper, fortunately I arrived in time, otherwise I am afraid that I would not even be able to salvage this point. Come, you're done. ”

"Shumei, I have a terminal illness, and I don't have a few days left, I originally thought that I would cut off a hundred by myself, but I met such a master as you who doesn't hold grudges."

"Terminally ill? Has it been diagnosed? Now that science is so advanced, didn't I get my life back when I had cancer before? ”

"That's Heaven favoring you, and many people like me will not have mercy on me."

"How so? As long as you don't give up, there will be miracles. ”

Zhang Xiaoqin's head shook like a rattle, her brows were tightly locked, and her already haggard face looked even more ugly.

She handed the little money she had left to Shumei, and said in a pleading tone: "Shumei, you take this money, I have something to ask you." ”

"Eldest sister, just say what you want! I will do my best if I can. ”

"When I die, you take this money to help me buy a coffin and find a cemetery to bury me. If there's anything left, keep it for your family! ”

"Eldest sister ......" Although Shumei and this Zhang Xiaoqin have no affection, but seeing Zhang Xiaoqin burst into tears, she was really sad and wanted to interrupt Zhang Xiaoqin's words.

"Shumei, listen to me finish. Other than that, I have one more thing to ask you for. A-Niang is old, and the sending fence must not be as smooth as imagined. Jizong's death, she has already experienced the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, I don't want her to go through it again, don't tell her the news of my death. I'm just an unfilial girl, and there's only so much I can do for her when I'm dying. ”

Zhang Xiaoqin burst into tears, held Shumei's hand tightly with both hands, and pinched Shumei's hand out two lines of white crescent marks.

Zhang Xiaoqin's experience, Shumei is empathetic! She couldn't help but wipe away her tears. She could really understand that despair, that helplessness.

"Eldest sister, I will accompany you to the hospital tomorrow, maybe, everything is not as serious as you imagined."

"It's useless, if it's useful, I'll burn the money and not use it to save lives. Shumei, promise me, okay? Let me at least not expose the corpse wilderness, I will repay your kindness a hundred times in the next life. ”

With tears in her eyes, Shumei bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

Zhang Xiaoqin saw Shumei agree, and there seemed to be a smile on her face.

She suddenly felt so relaxed, relaxed that she didn't want to think about anything, she just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

"Shumei, I'm a little sleepy, can I borrow your bed to sleep?"

"Of course, you can sleep! I'll prepare lunch when I'm done, and if I want to eat something at noon today, I'll get it for you. ”

Shumei helped her to the bed and lay down and covered her with a quilt.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten the food you made, and I want to eat pea pork ribs."

"Okay, okay, I'll do more, I'll let you eat enough at once." But there are no fresh peas at this time, so let's take the roasted pork ribs with radish! It is good to eat radish in winter. Then I'll go and get busy first, and if there's anything you can shout, I'll be in the chicken coop at the door, and I can hear it. Shumei treated her like a child and told her carefully.

She nodded in response, and Shumei got up and walked out.

Lying in the warm bed, looking at the empty ceiling, she had a smile on her face. She seemed to be able to see Lord Yama beckoning to her, and the other world was full of flowers, and the sky was blue, so beautiful and beautiful, so beautiful that she wanted to go to the other world now.

With a smile, she closed her eyes.

Shumei finished the things in the chicken shed, so she went to the field to pick a few radishes and came back, and prepared the ingredients for Zhang Xiaoqin to make radish roasted pork ribs.

This pork rib is prepared for the New Year, and she is usually reluctant to take it out to eat, and only when there are guests at home, she takes it out to entertain guests. It can be seen from this that Shumei really did not hold a grudge against Zhang Xiaoqin.

She finished everything and brought it all to the table before entering the room to call Zhang Xiaoqin.

"Eldest sister, the roasted pork ribs with radish are ready, get up and eat them quickly! This person is iron and steel, and if he doesn't eat a meal, he is hungry and panicked, and if he is really tired, he gets up and eats and sleeps. ”

Shumei sat on the edge of the bed and said to Zhang Xiaoqin, who was still smiling when she fell asleep.

She said it, but Zhang Xiaoqin did not respond. She tried to gently push Zhang Xiaoqin's shoulder, "Eldest sister, eldest sister, wake up!" Eat......"

Even so, Zhang Xiaoqin still didn't react at all.

Shumei increased her strength and voice again, but Zhang Xiaoqin still didn't react at all. She realized that the situation was not right, and put her hand on Zhang Xiaoqin's face, wanting to pinch her person.

At this time, she realized that Zhang Xiaoqin's face had lost its temperature, and it was cold to the bone.

She reflexively pulled her hand back away, her heart beating sharply. The body bounced violently, staggering back a few steps.

After being stunned for a moment, she slowly approached the side of the bed and used her trembling hand to probe Zhang Xiaoqin's breath.

Zhang Xiaoqin really ran out of breath, because she was mentally prepared this time, she didn't feel much surprised.

In the morning, I was still talking to myself, but it would turn into a cold corpse. She is mentally prepared, and she can't avoid being uncomfortable.

Once again, she realized the fragility of life and the impermanence of the world.

She didn't lose her word, took the money left by Zhang Xiaoqin, and did her best to arrange the funeral for her.

In her busy schedule, she found time to buy a coffin for her, make a shroud for her, and choose a cemetery for her. Anyway, nothing is done with the best effort, not the slightest perfunctory.

Although she failed to hold a beautiful funeral for Zhang Xiaoqin, she did not fall behind the customs that should be.

Although she didn't hold a banquet, Shumei still invited Mr. Feng Shui to choose a suitable burial date for her. Before the burial, Zhang Xiaoqin's body was parked in the courtyard of her house.

In the evening, Xiao Shuangning returned home from school before Xiao Youchen, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Zhang Xiaoqin parked there.

In front of the spirit was a brazier with half a pot of ashes, and two pieces of sweet potato cut in half were filled with incense and candles. Zhang Xiaoqin's body was covered with a white cloth, and her face was already pale as a dead person should be.

Xiao Shuangning is not a three-year-old child anymore, she has seen a lot of such scenes, no one needs to tell her, she also knows that this is a suspended spirit, and she also knows that Zhang Xiaoqin who is lying there is already a dead person.

Her face turned pale with fright, she had a hard and unforgettable fear of Zhang Xiaoqin, last night she obviously watched Zhang Xiaoqin walk in front of her eyes alive, but today she saw Zhang Xiaoqin's body parked in her yard, or she was afraid of ghosts.

She stared at the corpse not far away, stunned for a while, and ran into the house screaming.

"Ah......h

She panicked and crashed headlong into Shumei's arms carrying a large bundle of straw paper from the house.

She screamed louder as if she had seen a ghost.

"Ningning, what's wrong with you?"

Shumei took her into her arms and asked her with concern.

"Mom...... Mom...... Aunt...... Aunt she ......"

Ning Ning hugged Shumei tightly, turned around and secretly glanced at Zhang Xiaoqin's body in the courtyard, and didn't say a whole word.

Shumei sighed deeply and stroked Xiao Shuang's black hair, "Silly boy, everyone dies, what's there to be afraid of?" Not to mention that it's your aunt. Your aunt was very sick and unfortunately left. She doesn't have any relatives in the village, so we are the only ones who will do her funeral for her. ”

"Mom, she'...... How long is she going to stop here? Xiao Shuangning looked at Shumei with frightened eyes, her eyes kept avoiding Zhang Xiaoqin's corpse, and she didn't dare to take another look.
