Chapter 74 Burial
In the end, Aunt Wu and Wu Tiansheng couldn't hide the fact that they saw the corpse from Li Shishi.

After that child Yu Xue came back, she looked for her father in the courtyard.

Aunt Wu knew that this matter could not be kept a secret, so she told Yu Xue very tactfully.

It's just that no matter how euphemistic the words are, it's just to stop the itching, how can Yu Xue accept this matter calmly.

But this child is very sensible, and even when he cries, he holds back and dare not cry out loud.

In fact, if she can let her cry and make trouble wantonly, the big guy can rest assured, but now she is so forbearing, it is even more distressing.

When eating, Yu Xue seemed to have lost her appetite, she just said no to eat, and then went back to her room.

Li Shishi was worried and wanted to follow her to have a look.

But Yu Xue refused, and didn't want to be disturbed.

So Li Shishi only sent the person back to the house, filled some food, and then left.

That night, it was difficult for everyone to fall asleep.

Everyone had their own concerns and sat in the room until dawn.

Li Shishi hurried to Yu Xue's room after seeing the dawn.

But as soon as she reached the door, Yu Xue pushed the door open and came out.

She was dressed in plain clothes, with a white cloth on her head.

She didn't look very good, and she must have been unable to sleep all night.

Li Shishi wanted to smile at her when she saw her, but she couldn't smile out of her mouth.

Aunt Wu asked Wu Tiansheng to go to the coffin shop to buy funeral things such as coffin paper money.

Then he followed Li Shishi and Yu Xue to the Yamen.

When he arrived at the gate of the yamen to explain his intention, the yamen servant first asked for proof of household registration and proof of relationship, and then entered the gate of the yamen to report.

After a while, the yamen servants came out and said they were going to fetch people.

Li Shishi and the others quickly followed to the morgue.

When they arrived at the door, the yamen servant told them to wait outside, and then handed over the transfer order to the guards, and then someone went in to carry out the corpse.

Yu Xue was very nervous, as if all her strength had been taken away.

As the door opened, she leaned against Li Shishi, her tears streaming down her eyes.

Li Shishi held her hand, fearing that Yu Xue would faint on the spot.

People, were carried out.

At this moment, when Yu Xue saw her father was covered by a white cloth, she let go of Li Shishi's hand, and immediately rushed towards her father.

"Daddy, daddy! How could you leave me behind!"

She burst into tears, crying hysterically, she didn't dare to lift the white cloth, she just lay on her father's body and wailed in pain.

After so many days, this strong girl finally couldn't hold back the moment she saw her father, cried hoarsely, and fainted several times.

Li Shishi felt distressed and worried, so she just knelt beside Yu Xue and supported him.

Aunt Wu stood beside them and wept secretly.

"This girl can be regarded as crying, and I have been worried that this person will be suffocated if she holds it in so much."

She said, wiping tears with her hand.

The yamen servants are probably used to seeing these suffering masters, and they are also used to these scenes.

He was not moved, but took the pension from the yamen and handed it to Aunt Wu.

"This is 50 taels of silver. I know it's not easy for you. Save the money for this guy to make a good coffin and hide it well..."

The people at the gate of the yamen can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. According to the usual, when a homicide case occurs in the local area, it is bound to go through the steps of autopsy investigation, interrogation, etc., and the family of the deceased can only be allowed to lead the person after the investigation of the case is clear.

But this is not an ordinary criminal case, it involves a lot, and the local officials have no right, let alone the courage, to investigate.

But in any case, people died in the local area, and the yamen can't ignore it. Besides, the county magistrate has not yet taken office, and they dare not make extra troubles.

That's why Yu Xue was able to bring him back.

Yu Xue cried for a long time, already exhausted, Aunt Wu helped Yu Xue go out.

And Wu Tiansheng also brought people to the Yamen.

Then they carried the body into the car and hurried back.

After Aunt Wu went back, she stuffed the money under Yu Xue's pillow.

When Aunt Wu was trying to inform her old friends and relatives to come to worship, Yu Xue said that her family had no relatives here.

In the end, a mourning hall could only be set up to hold the coffin for three days before the burial.

On the day when Yu Xue's father was buried, the clouds in the sky seemed to have been soaked in ink, covering the entire sky above the town.

The gray weather is so oppressive that people can't breathe.

Yu Xue's tears were almost dried up, she stood at the front of the funeral procession and carried the banner to the cemetery.

It didn't take long for the sky to start raining.

As the rain became heavier and heavier, the road under our feet became more and more difficult to walk.

With great difficulty, everyone carried the coffin to the cemetery, and began to seal the coffin for burial according to the etiquette.

Yu Xue was standing in front of her father's grave and weeping silently.

Now she looked haggard, and she was even more haggard in a white dress. She knelt in the rain and covered the grave with handfuls of dirt.

The rain and tears mixed together on the face made people feel distressed.

When Li Shishi brought her back, Yu Xue was exhausted and passed out.

After placing her in the room and seeing her sleeping soundly, Li Shishi left the room.

There are three rooms in the medical center, with wing rooms on the left and right, and Gongsun Qing and Yu Xue sleep in a room each.

Li Shishi rested in the main hall with Aunt Wu.

After tossing and tossing for so long, Aunt Wu felt uncomfortable seeing Li Shishi's haggard face. She walked over, sat beside Li Shishi, held her hand, stared at Li Shishi, and said softly: "You have been too tired during this time, and you haven't rested yet. OK, let's go to bed."

Li Shishi shook her head lightly and said: "Not yet, the children are still at home, I'm afraid they will be worried."

Aunt Wu sighed and said, "You always miss others, but what about yourself?"

Li Shishi remained silent.

Aunt Wu felt distressed when she saw her silent expression, so she said: "Don't worry about the child, I will go back to report the letter this afternoon, and let the child come with me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Don't worry about it, anyway. With us."

When Li Shishi heard this, her eyes turned red, and then she put her head on Aunt Wu's shoulder, and said softly: "Auntie, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be where I am today."

Aunt Wu treated her like her own grandmother, always helping her and accepting her unconditionally.

This made Li Shishi always feel close to Aunt Wu.

Now Aunt Wu is doing her best to help Li Shishi, she never asks why, she even considers herself in everything.

Li Shishi was grateful in her heart, but she didn't know how to repay her.

Aunt Wu patted Li Shishi's hand lightly, and her eyes were also red. She sighed softly and said, "Silly boy, I never treat you as an outsider. I always treat you as my daughter. You are kind-hearted, not the one who steals and rapes you." A slippery person. Besides, everyone helps each other. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid we would all have to go home to farm now, so how could we open any restaurants. I understand the truth of heart to heart, and you are so smart, you must understand. Just don’t say such things in the future.”

Tears from the corners of her eyes rolled down Li Shishi's face, she didn't speak anymore, she just stretched out her hand to hug Aunt Wu tighter, just like hugging her own grandma when she was a child.

With her eyes closed, in a daze, she seemed to see the figure of grandma standing hunched at the entrance of the village waiting for her to leave school.

She silently thought in her heart: "Grandma, you don't have to worry about me, now I have met someone as warm as you."
