Not long after.
Qin Mu and Zhang Dashan were brought to a courtyard.
The courtyard wasn't big, and it was also very simple.
Through the stone walls that were half the height of a person, one could see the layout inside.
Three houses were built with mud bricks, and there was a shed built with straw at the side. It was simple and plain, and this was the scene Qin Mu saw with a glance.
Of course, this was also a reflection of the vast majority of villages in this era.
At this moment, there were many villagers surrounding the courtyard.
When they saw Qin Mu and the rest coming over, they subconsciously made way for them.
"Hey, the village chief is here!"
"The two people following behind are from the funeral parlor in the city, right? I heard that they're going to drag Second Brother Chen's girl to burn this time!”
"Why not? The village chief has been waiting at the village entrance since morning and afternoon!”
"Sigh, it was supposed to be a good thing. It's already in the ground. Why did this happen again?”
"Auntie, do you think Second Brother Chen's family offended someone and had their grave dug out?”
"Don't talk nonsense. It's been so many years since such a thing has happened. Besides, this second brother's family is so honest. Who could he offend?”
"But I heard that this matter is very strange!”
"Hey, tell me!"
Passing by the villagers in front of the courtyard, Qin Mu heard most of their conversation.
It turned out that a few days ago.
Second Brother Chen's daughter, Master Shi, went to the river at the east end of the village to wash her clothes.
In recent years, other than the deep well in the community, there were no wells in ordinary families.
Moreover, the deep well there was reserved for food and could not be used to wash clothes. Therefore, the daughters and daughters-in-law of the village had to go to the stream outside the village to wash clothes.
And it was this kind of thing that was usually very common that had an accident.
Second Brother Chen's daughter had drowned.
This was the problem.
After hearing these aunties 'words, Zhang Tie realized that the deepest water on the bank of the river outside the village was only knee-deep, and the place where clothes were often washed was only ankle-deep.
Not to mention the adults, even those snotty kids in the village usually came in without any accidents.
Therefore, everyone was saying that they had encountered something unclean and were locked up.
This also led to the incident where his family buried him under the cover of the night on the day of the accident!
Of course, Qin Mu only listened to these words.
If this was really an accidental death, it would not be his fault.
This time, he was only responsible for pulling the corpses.
..........
When he entered the courtyard, Qin Mu swept his gaze around and discovered Lord Shi.
It was placed under the awning on one side. When they were outside the courtyard, they were blocked by the wall and did not see it.
It was easy to spot them once they entered the courtyard.
After all, the weather and the fact that he had been dead for a few days made the smell really strong.
One could see it at a glance by following the smell.
No wonder the neighbors at the door were only peeking at the door and were unwilling to come in.
At this moment, the deceased was lying on a door, covered by a mat with a broken edge.
This was also the custom here.
After this person died, he could no longer take the things from when he was alive, especially the sleeping mat under the bed. He had to be buried with the deceased.
Moreover, it had to be covered with a broken edge.
As for the reason, Qin Mu didn't know either. However, in his original memories, this was how people were buried after they died.
Of course, at that time, they were still buried.
"Second brother, the people above are here. Let's proceed according to the agreement we agreed on previously!”
Just as Qin Mu was deep in thought, Village Chief led the two of them into the house and said to the people inside.
"Since things have already come to this, then let's pull him away. Sigh!”
The one who answered was a hunchbacked old man who was sucking on a pipe in his hand.
Beside him, a woman of similar age was wiping her tears.
It seemed that these were the parents of the deceased.
When he saw this scene, Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a wave of sorrow in his heart.
The daughter he had raised for more than ten years was gone just like that. From then on, he was separated from his mother. No one could stand this.
Other than that, Qin Mu also saw two people in uniforms sitting behind the old couple.
This must be the patrol officer who came to investigate the situation.
However, the room was dark, and the two of them were sitting at the back, so Qin Mu couldn't see what they looked like clearly.
"Comrade Dashan, I'll have to trouble you with this matter. I'll have to trouble you to make this trip!”
Seeing that the deceased's parents didn't say anything, the village chief said to Zhang Dashan.
"Hai, it's all my job. There's no trouble at all. Since you guys have agreed, I'll take this person away!”
As he spoke, Zhang Dashan gave Qin Mu a look.
"Let's hurry up. It's getting late!”
With that, he brought Qin Mu out of the house.
