Zhao Wei finally paid the money and buried the old man in a decent manner.
Because they didn't know how long he had been dead and there was no time to delay visiting the grave, they called the funeral attendant that day, had him recite scriptures for an hour, put him in the coffin, and then carried him directly to the mountain to bury him.
As for his aunt-in-law, although she died unexpectedly, the Zhao family members took over her funeral and Zhao Wei didn't have to worry about it.
After dealing with these matters, Zhao Wei had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, but he saw Yunxiu's eldest brother, dressed in mourning, running to report the news.
It turned out that her grandmother was old, and after experiencing the incident of Yunxiu breaking off the engagement, she was devastated and passed away today.
Yunxiu was devastated and burst into tears, heartbroken.
Her favorite grandmother, who had single-handedly protected her and helped her raise her family safely, is now gone, and she feels extremely guilty.
I only regret that I married far away and could not serve my parents at their bedside, so I didn't even see them for the last time.
Zhao Wei did not expect that so many people would die all of a sudden this winter, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
I hope that no one will die in vain in the future.
Faced with the two siblings who were crying their eyes out, he had no way to maintain the relationship. He showed a ruthless attitude when dividing the family property, and in annoyance, he took Yunxiu and prepared to return to Ku Shui Village to attend the funeral.
This time, he brought Dahei with him. This dog is not friendly to anyone except the Zhao family, so it is not easy for anyone to harm it.
Dahuang must have been raised by someone since he was a child, and he was too kind and not wary of people, so he got into trouble. He is still recovering from his injuries and unable to go out.
Along the way, Yunxiu cried so hard that her tears were almost frozen into ice. If Zhao Wei hadn't supported her, she would have fallen countless times.
When they passed the familiar three-way intersection, Dahei, who was walking behind them, suddenly ran to the front and howled at a small forest of trees.
"Stupid dog, what are you barking about? Get out of here!"
The big brother walked up and was about to kick Dahei.
Dahei was not a good guy. Not only did he dodge quickly, he also turned around and bit him hard.
The eldest brother was standing a little far away and successfully dodged the attack, then hurriedly ran behind Zhao Wei and Yun Xiu.
"Watch your dog, this beast is too fierce!"
Yunxiu was still immersed in sadness, and retorted with some disgust.
"You were the one who provoked it first. You hit it and thought I couldn't see it!"
"I'm telling you, if you dare to touch it again, I won't let you go."
The eldest brother was so humiliated after being scolded. He was usually as weak as a rotten bamboo shoot, but now he stood up straight and dared to challenge him.
However, he did not lose his temper on the spot, but unexpectedly endured it.
However, he was so exhausted that his face turned red and his neck became thick, with veins bulging on his forehead. If you didn't know him, you would think he was constipated.
Zhao Wei looked towards the grove, smiled sarcastically, and ordered Dahei to shut up.
Dahei was very obedient and stopped barking. After these days of training, it finally understood what it meant to shut up.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, with only the cold wind blowing.
The eldest brother urged impatiently.
"Don't just stand there, hurry back home, they're still waiting."
Zhao Wei said to him, "Don't say anything, just continue to lead the way! Yunxiu is not in a good mental state, I have to support her."
Originally, Zhao Wei had always walked in front, but this time, he let his eldest brother walk in front.
The eldest brother hesitated for a few seconds, but finally agreed and walked to the front.
The moment he stepped into the forest, he quickly explored the surrounding environment.
There was only one person's footprint on the ground, which should have been left by the eldest brother when he came.
Apart from this, there was nothing unusual.
But he could still see that the bushes in the distance had some dry and thin branches. Had the snow on them been eaten by the dogs?
There were also large rocks covered with thick snow, and there were signs that someone had pressed on them.
And all kinds of broken ice edges were scattered all over the ground.
…
There are many other details that are not noticed by others, but they are now being magnified in Zhao Wei's eyes.
He was originally a scout and understood these details best.
Then, his hand quietly reached to the lower back.
There was a shiny axe stuck there.
The eldest brother led the way, but he walked faster and faster, so fast that it seemed as if he wanted to get rid of the two of them.
At the same time, although Dahei closed his mouth, he acted very irritable and kept gasping for breath, as if he could hardly bear it anymore.
Only Yunxiu was still naively on her way.
After a while, it seemed that something was stepped on, and there was a crisp "crack" sound, and something was broken.
Dahei suddenly exploded, rushed directly towards Zhao Wei's calf, and started biting with his mouth.
It was trying to bite the cotton jacket, as if it wanted to take it away from this place.
But Zhao Wei's reaction was very quick. After a few "click" sounds, he had already hugged Yunxiu, fell to the ground in the snow, and rolled several times before he was away from that area.
Because Dahei wanted to help Zhao Wei, although he missed the bite, he was successfully covered by a rope net that fell from the sky.
After being shocked and out of instinctive fear, Dahei forgot to keep his mouth shut and started struggling and screaming desperately.
At this moment, seven or eight strong men suddenly rushed out from the darkness in the snowy forest, swarming towards them with sharp blades in their hands.
Looking at the dog caught in the net and Zhao Wei and the other man who had escaped the crisis, he threatened them hatefully.
"You two, don't waste your energy. With so many of us here, you can't escape."
"If you want to, just leave all your money and belongings behind, and we may be able to let you go."
…
Zhao Wei raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect that the other party was actually asking for money.
Well, for someone like him who can give five dollars every month to his father-in-law, he should have more surplus.
It is understandable that money can move people's hearts.
But, being schemed against by the people closest to you is a very unpleasant feeling.
Yunxiu also realized that the situation was not good at this time. She did not bother to wipe her tears, but said angrily: "You are breaking the law. If you are caught, you will be shot."
"Heh... stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to die, hand over the money. Count to three. If you still don't see the money, don't blame us for being ruthless. We will start with you, a little girl!"
"Hehehe... I heard that you are pretty. Now that I see you, you are indeed quite pretty. Hehehe..."
…
Zhao Wei smiled coldly: "Tell me the truth, did Yun Gen ask you to deal with us?"
"Hiss...Brother..."
When Yunxiu heard this, he took a deep breath and hurried to look for his elder brother.
However, the other party had already hidden himself, so how could she possibly see him?
