After Huang Yi said this, Xie Xiao naturally had nothing to say, so the few of them sat for a while.
Huang Yi's wife must be killing chickens, and the clucking sound of chickens can be heard.
Xie Xiao thought about the many houses he had seen along the way, but there seemed to be no one in the village, so he said casually, "It's quite early for people to go out to work. It's only the seventh day of the New Year."
Huang Yi waved his hand, "It's not too early. We are all hard workers. Some factories have already started work. Many people didn't come home for the New Year this year. They are just thinking about the times of overtime pay and when they can go home..."
Huang Yi is a very talkative person. During the conversation, Xie Xiao felt that the village chief had really good eloquence.
Soon Sister Zhao and Sister Chen came back with the other wives in the village.
Xie Xiao and Bai Ruanruan both stood up to greet them.
The two older sisters are both good-looking and have good tempers.
The four of them finally met.
The meal is already ready at the village chief’s house.
Huang Yi asked them to eat first and then start the meeting.
At first, Xie Xiao and the others declined. After all, this was inappropriate. They came here and did nothing but eat.
But Sister Zhao and Sister Chen seemed to have gotten used to it.
Pull them to sit together.
Also there were Huang Da and Huang Er.
Huang Er seemed to be in a much better mood and even took the initiative to pour wine.
Because he didn't want to give the villagers a bad impression, Xie Xiao introduced himself and Bai Ruanruan as colleagues.
So no one knows they are a couple for now.
Therefore, during the meal, everyone seemed very curious about whether the two had a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Although they did not directly say that they were a couple, both of them said that they had a partner.
Huang Yi's wife looked at Bai Ruanruan's face and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen who came yesterday was already very beautiful. I thought she was the one who came today. I didn't expect Xiao Bai to be so pretty too. Oh my God, girls nowadays are really pretty."
Sister Chen smiled and said, "Times have changed. Girls nowadays are prettier if they have fair skin and tender flesh..."
As they were talking and laughing, they heard a noise coming from outside.
Xie Xiao looked out and saw Bai Ruanruan obsessed with eating PUBG next to him.
Several people in the village took a look.
Huang Da said, "Oh, it's Huang Mazi's mother who lived at the entrance of the village. She passed away and was buried today."
Sister Zhao said in surprise, "Auntie Huang? She looked fine yesterday?"
Huang Er took a bite of pork and said, "Acute illness."
Xie Xiaoze said, "But isn't burial prohibited?"
Huang Yi waved his hands quickly, "No burial, no burial. It's just the custom in our village. In fact, the body is carried to the ancestral hall in the back to be kept for two days, and then cremated. We know that cremation is not allowed."
Sister Chen stood up with some concern, "How could this happen? Although Aunt Huang is the oldest in the village, she looks energetic."
As he said that, he wanted to go out and take a look.
Huang Yi's wife quickly reached out and pulled him back, "Hey, hey, hey, this is not fun to watch. The Huang Mazi family will not be happy about it. Our custom here is that it is not good for outsiders to bump into us."
Now that things have come to this, Sister Chen feels too embarrassed to actually go and see it.
Xie Xiao glanced outside.
I couldn't see anything clearly across the yard.
But the sound of suona can still be heard clearly.
He seemed to remember Yu Zhou saying yesterday that there was only one 60-year-old man left in the village.
Is this Aunt Huang?
Xie Xiao felt even more weird.
Sister Zhao happened to ask, "The average life expectancy in your village has always been short. What's going on?"
Huang Yi said helplessly, "How do we know this? We don't understand it either."
Huang Daze said, "What's the average life expectancy? People will definitely die when they reach a certain age."
Huang Er also said, "Otherwise it will be useless when you get old."
Bai Ruanruan finished the last bite of the chicken in the bowl and glanced at Huang Er.
Ever since they entered the village, whenever they were together, this man's eyes would always secretly, and in a manner he thought was covert, fall on her.
This feeling made Bai Ruanruan very uncomfortable and unhappy.
So she deliberately looked at him sharply when Huang Er looked over here.
Although Huang Er was stunned for a moment, he did not hide.
Looking at her white and soft eyes, they can only be described as shining.
There was a flash of disgust in Bai Ruanruan's eyes. This man had undisguised desire in his eyes.
This made Bai Ruanruan feel sick.
She let out a breath, even though Xie Xiao had previously forbidden her to use magic on ordinary people who had not done anything wrong.
But Bai Ruanruan felt offended at this moment.
Her eyes flashed and she suddenly smiled at Huang Er.
Huang Er's eyes lit up instantly.
Then Bai Ruanruan saw him stand up suddenly, just a little taller than the table.
His movements were too sudden and big.
Everyone who was talking at the table looked at him.
Huang Er suddenly pointed his finger at Bai Ruanruan. Huang Da, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pulled down his hand, "What are you doing?"
The voice carries a warning!
But Huang Er still opened his mouth and said, "I want this little girl..."
Before he could finish his words, Huang Da covered his mouth.
The village head and his wife also stood up with grim expressions.
"Huang Er, are you possessed by evil spirits?" Huang Yi scolded, and then said to Huang Da, "Take him back."
Huang Yi's wife went over to lend a hand and was about to drag the struggling Huang Er back.
Xie Xiao and Bai Runrun both looked unhappy.
Sister Zhao and Sister Chen looked embarrassed and surprised.
How come such a good meal suddenly became like this?
Xie Xiao reached out under the table and grabbed Bai Ruanruan's hand, squeezing it gently as a way of comforting her.
Bai Ruanruan glanced at him and spoke before Xie Xiao could, "The people in your village are really like that. They just say whatever they want."
His tone was cold, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Huang Yi was a little embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, this is all an accident."
The village chief is apologizing.
The sound of suona coming from the door became louder and louder.
Several men carried a stretcher covered with a white cloth towards the door.
The attention of several people was unconsciously attracted.
Xie Xiao looked at the figure covered with white cloth on the stretcher. The man walking in front should be Huang Mazi. He looked back from time to time.
Xie Xiao looked at the expression on his face and found that he didn't look sad at all.
In fact, it wasn't just him. The entire funeral procession was simple, and no one looked sad at all.
They walked quickly, as if they were in a hurry to get to the door.
It was called a funeral procession, but in fact there was only a suona, Huang Mazi walking in front, and two men carrying a stretcher.
Suddenly, a hand appeared from the person on the stretcher.
Huang Yi saw this and shouted, "Huang Mazi, don't let your mother's hands get frozen."
Huang Mazi let out a cry and hurried over to put his hand in.
The weather was still very cold at this time, and Xie Xiao noticed that the position of the face covered with white cloth seemed to be slightly rising and falling.
It’s like the person covered is still breathing.
