"Impossible, impossible!" Yan Shuhua didn't believe it and thought they were joking. "It definitely can't be Li Mei, how could it be her? You must have made a mistake, it can't be Li Mei, impossible!" The next second, she was about to lift the white cloth to see who it was.

Fan Xiaofeng's eyes were already completely red, and he stopped Yan Shuhua from looking at him: "Shuhua, don't look at it, don't look at it..."

"Uncle Fan, you must have made a mistake. It's impossible! How is it possible!" Yan Shuhua just didn't believe that such a bad thing would happen to Li Mei.

Li Mei was such a good girl. Because of God's mercy, she inherited her father's excellent medical skills. How could she disappear overnight?

"Go away, I want to see, I want to see!" Yan Shuhua begged desperately, and finally Fan Xiaofeng let her go to see. Yan Shuhua tore off the white cloth with trembling hands, and saw Li Mei's completely pale face and body covered with wounds. She was in so much pain that her heart was completely broken into pieces.

She was covered in wounds, and one could imagine what kind of abuse she had suffered before she died! Yan Shuhua suddenly saw that what Li Mei was holding in her hand was the herb that she needed the most. Thinking that she had gone to pick this herb yesterday afternoon, her eyes instantly turned red, and she burst into tears, unable to bear it: "Why? Why? How could this happen!"

Fan Xiaofeng waved his hand and said exhaustedly: "Pull Shuhua away and send the body down first."

"No, no!" Yan Shuhua just didn't believe it! Li Mei was fine yesterday, how could she suddenly become like this? It must be a mistake, but when she saw the corpse, she was really about to collapse.

She was fine yesterday afternoon, but now she is gone. The marks on her neck were very severe. It was obvious that she was strangled to death. She could not bear this cruel fact.

"Li Mei, Li Mei!" Yan Shuhua thought of Li's mother at the foot of the mountain. If she saw Li Mei's body, she wouldn't know what to do. "Uncle Fan, her mother is still at the foot of the mountain..."

"Oh!" Fan Xiaofeng was in a dilemma, so he asked someone to change the route back and temporarily placed the body in the ancestral hall.

When Fan Zhiqiang arrived, he couldn't believe that the woman lying on the board was Li Mei, and he couldn't believe that he died just like that? How could it be possible? Yesterday afternoon, he was still joking with Li Mei that if she didn't agree to date him, he would force her to marry him.

Li Mei was smiling happily at the time, and said that even if he married her home, she would not be willing to be his wife.

Fan Zhiqiang had no choice but to ask her what it would take for her to be with him.

Li Mei said that she would become his girlfriend after he had learned all of Yan Shuhua's medical skills.

Yesterday, the person who was still alive in my mind was now lying on the board, cold and stone.

This woman who was so important to him suddenly disappeared like that lying on the board, dead. He couldn't believe it at all. Why could human life be so fragile, disappearing in an instant?

Fan Zhiqiang couldn't bear this terrible torture anymore. He squatted in front of Li Mei's body, crying sadly and blaming himself constantly.

Li's mother had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time. When she saw Yan Shuhua, she kept muttering to herself.

"You mean Sister Li? She went to the mountains to collect herbs so late at night. Now that she's back, I'm going to scold her. Oh, but she didn't eat last night, so she must be very hungry this morning. Let's heat up some sweet potatoes at home and let her eat them when she gets home."

"Li Mei is such a poor child. She is always reluctant to eat and wants to give me food. Alas..." Mother Li was surprised to see Yan Shuhua not speaking. "Shuhua, what's wrong?"

Mother Li saw that Yan Shuhua's eyes were all red, and it was obvious that he had been crying. After all, she was so old and had experienced too many worldly affairs, so she seemed to feel a little uneasy.

"What happened?" Mother Li's rough hands suddenly grabbed Yan Shuhua. The latter raised his head, unable to control his voice, his voice completely collapsed, and he pursed his lips for a long time before saying two words, "Auntie..."

"Shuhua, tell me what happened. Don't be like this. Tell me quickly."

"Auntie..." Yan Shuhua had no way to tell her this cruel fact in person. The two of them depended on each other. If Li Mei was gone, wouldn't it be like cutting off her retreat?

Li's mother had been joking just now, but now seeing Yan Shuhua crying so hard, she felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart. She grabbed her hand and asked desperately: "What's the matter? Did something happen to Li Mei? Tell me!"

"Auntie, you still have me in the future. Auntie, you should treat me as your daughter..." Yan Shuhua's words made Mother Li feel dizzy. She didn't want Yan Shuhua to support her anymore. She kept muttering as she walked, "I want to go see my daughter. I want to see where she is."

"Auntie, don't go, don't go." Yan Shuhua didn't want her to see Li Mei's miserable condition.

"Shuhua, let me go, don't be like this, I want to go see my daughter." Mother Li fell many times along the way until she reached the ancestral hall, where she found people gathered outside and a wooden board lying there.

Mother Li walked up and gently tore off the white cloth covering her body with trembling hands. When she saw her daughter below, her legs went limp and she couldn't hold on any longer so she knelt on the floor. She held her daughter's hand tightly in hers and kept talking.

"Mei Li, don't fall asleep here. It's so cold. Come on, go home with mom. I cooked such a big pot of sweet potatoes and no one wants to eat them. How can I finish it by myself?" Mother Li wanted to prop up Mei Li's body, but she simply couldn't do it.

"Auntie..." Yan Shuhua's heart was broken.

"Li Mei, get up! Mom is calling you! Get up!" Mother Li could no longer control her emotions and suddenly burst into tears. "Li Mei, how could you bear to leave me here all alone? How would I live without you?"

Li's mother's cries resounded through the sky, tears flowed freely in her already empty eyes, and emotions of sorrow and sadness filled the air.
