However, Jiang Dai's interruption dissipated much of the serious and tense atmosphere in the room.
Bai Yunxing relaxed a bit, looked at his mother, and answered truthfully: "He died. He was killed by a sneak attack from the Di people. He had just turned sixteen and woke up to find himself in Da Mao's body."
"Perhaps it was because Da Mao was riding in an oxcart and it overturned, and he just happened to die, that I was able to be reborn into this body."
After hearing this, Jiang Dai touched the tip of her nose and exclaimed in amazement, "An oxcart...this oxcart is really something!"
[To be able to bring so many people here with just one flip is truly amazing.]
"Where is Mother? And how did she come to be here?"
Bai Yunxing asked cautiously.
Jiang Dai: "Hmm? You know I changed people?"
Bai Yunxing pursed his lips, looking at his mother with a bit of embarrassment. He didn't say anything, but his silence spoke volumes.
Is this so hard to guess?
Jiang Dai: [Alright, ever since she failed to scam three children last time, and reunited with her fellow villager Bai Tian, she's really let loose.]
However, this really isn't my fault! I tried everything, but the three little brats didn't show any sign of anything amiss!
[It's like the second son; he usually disguises himself very well, but people insist he's a time traveler who's been replaced. Without evidence, without catching him red-handed, who can guarantee anything 100%?]
When talking about herself, Jiang Dai was a little speechless.
"I guess I'm dead too, the kind that dies suddenly."
Bai Yunxing: "Sudden death?"
Jiang Dai: "He just died suddenly. He didn't sleep for several days. He just died while he was sleeping."
Bai Yunxing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did he die of old age? Then it's a happy death."
If someone dies in their sleep, it's considered a peaceful death, which is a happy occasion.
Jiang Dai: ...
[To hell with dying of old age! To hell with happy funerals!!! I died in the prime of my youth!!!]
Juanjuan, who was listening to her mother's heartfelt words outside, was suddenly startled.
The mother's words were calm just now, but now she suddenly yells in anger, which can really frighten the child.
Juanjuan: What did Second Brother do to offend Mother?
Bai Yunqi, eavesdropping outside: [Can someone really die so pathetically?]
However, judging from Mother's recent behavior, she doesn't seem like a rigid old lady who died of old age; she's quite lively.
Bai Yun'an, who was eavesdropping on Jia Yi, couldn't help but want to laugh.
[Dying of old age? Ha, Second Brother really knows how to stab someone in the back. With Mom and Dad like this, how could they possibly die of old age, or even be considered happy old folks?]
Juanjuan: ?
I'm a little confused about the meanings of "dying peacefully at home" and "joyful death".
Unfortunately, as far as my child can remember, there haven't been any elderly people in our neighborhood who have either died a happy death or passed away peacefully in their old age.
Since no one around explained it, they naturally didn't know what those two words meant.
Inside the room, Jiang Dai gave a slightly awkward smile.
"It wasn't a joyous funeral, it was an early death."
Baiyunxing: ? ? ?
Died young? Does Mother know what she's talking about?
After a brief moment of reflection, Jiang Dai returned to normal.
"Actually, it wasn't an early death. The average lifespan in my area is over eighty. I died in my early twenties, so that's considered an early death."
Speaking of her own death, Jiang Dai truly felt sorry for herself.
Tell me, how could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly die in their sleep?
Bai Yunxing: "Then, Father..."
Jiang Dai: "Oh, your father? He's from the same hometown as me. He said he doesn't quite remember how he died. Maybe he died too tragically and his memory is all over the place."
Bai Yunxing nodded.
Jiang Dai clicked her tongue, raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, snapped her fingers, and voiced the astonishing guess that had been on her mind.
“There were five of us in one oxcart: me, your father, your eldest brother, you, and your younger brother.”
