The Song family was fighting, and all that was left of their land was three mu of land, which was their basic means of making a living. However, Song Daming and Song Xiaoming, who had lost repeatedly in gambling, insisted on selling it and even brought buyers to their door. Shen and Chen could not let them have their way. If they sold the land, they would have to find wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains to fill their stomachs.
The two sisters-in-law and the two brothers started fighting. They grabbed their weapons and used all their skills to desperately protect their last three acres of land.
As long as the land exists, people live; when the land is gone, people die.
The buyer was startled by the situation and quickly said he wouldn't buy it anymore, then ran away as if fleeing.
But the Song family's struggle continues.
Dust filled the yard, chickens flew about, dogs barked, and two pigs paced anxiously in their pen.
"Stop hitting them, it seems Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua have been found." The soldier who came to inform them had a headache; what kind of families were these?
Some died, some were fought, and some fled; it was unbearable to watch.
On the very first day that the Song sisters disappeared, Chen went to the county government to report them missing. With the government on the lookout, the chances of finding them were always greater.
Upon hearing that the person had been found, the people fighting in the courtyard paused for a moment, and only stopped when they saw the soldiers arriving at the gate.
Song Daming and Song Xiaoming were overjoyed. It was good that they were back. If they didn't have enough land to sell, they could sell Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua. Besides, Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua had twenty taels of silver on them.
In this way, they can gamble away their losses and even make a fortune.
"Where is my daughter?" Mrs. Chen looked outside.
“Come with us at the village entrance,” the soldiers said.
After taking a couple of steps, the Song family members all covered their noses.
"Young men, why do you smell so bad? It's like you've been tainted by the stench of dead people. It's hot, you should take more baths," Shen said with disgust.
“Yes, it’s pickled to perfection, and it smells disgusting. As public servants, don’t you consider this a disturbance to the residents?” Chen said.
They usually didn't dare to offend these soldiers, because the smell was simply too unbearable, causing them to resist it from both a physical and psychological perspective.
“This is the scent of Song Da Hua and Song Xiao Hua,” a soldier said with a sneer.
The Song family members looked at each other in disbelief. How could Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua, the two girls, smell so bad? Did they go outside and starve, only able to find dead rats to eat?
Wait a minute, they're carrying so much money.
The Song family couldn't understand it, but they followed the soldiers all the way to the village entrance.
A large number of villagers had already gathered there, keeping a safe distance from the two stretchers on the ground. The stretchers were raised high, emitting a foul stench, and flies were swarming around them, forming a dark, menacing mass.
A sense of foreboding washed over Chen, and she turned around, searching for her daughter: "Where are Da Hua and Xiao Hua? Didn't you bring me to see my daughter?"
“That’s it.” A soldier pointed to the stretcher on the ground: “Although the giants were observed and their hair was cut short, when they were found, their appearance was still barely recognizable, and it was almost identical to the description given by your Song family when they reported the case.”
Ms. Chen screamed and rushed over, ignoring the stench, and lifted the white cloth. Seeing the swollen and collapsing face, she vomited and cried at the same time.
As a mother who watched her two daughters grow up, she could recognize them from the few remaining features that made them her daughters, Big Flower and Little Flower.
The villagers had never seen such a shocking scene before. Without any cover, the stench was overwhelming, and they immediately ran several steps away.
"Is it really Song Da Hua or Song Xiao Hua? It's almost impossible to tell."
"My God, how could they have died so tragically?"
