Chapter 798 Consolation
Of course, it could only be people from their village. At most, people from the neighboring Dali Village might bury the body here, but the villagers would not be unaware of it, especially since the tomb was so close to their family's cemetery, not far from the end of the village.
Normally, the villagers knew exactly who had died of illness in Baimaguan Town and whose cow had given birth to two calves. How was it possible that the person was buried at the end of their village, but they still didn't know whose grave it was?
And it’s so unified, the whole village doesn’t know?
The two looked at each other and had another guess in their minds, but this guess shocked them.
The two looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.
Suddenly, a head came over to Bai Shan's side. The two people who were in shock suddenly showed shock on their faces. Man Bao was so scared that he leaned back and fell off the chair...
Bai Shan was also startled. He raised his head and hit it against the window. He staggered in pain, and with a "bang" he hit another head that came close to him, and then sat down on the ground.
Bai Erlang covered his head, which was hurt by the collision, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
Bai Shan hissed in pain and angrily asked, "What are you doing?"
"You two can just talk. Can't you stand in the yard and talk, or go back to your room and sit and talk? Why does one of you have to be inside the window and the other outside?" Bai Erlang said angrily. "I just want to take a closer look. What shameful things have you done behind my back?"
Otherwise, why would I be so scared when I saw him?
As soon as he finished speaking, Manbao had already climbed up from the ground, picked up a book on the table, leaned out of the window and hit him hard.
When Bai Erlang was about to hit him for the second time, he jumped back and dodged. Manbao put down his book and chased him out of the house. Bai Shan also got up from the ground...
The yard suddenly became lively. Manbao and Baishan chased Bai Erlang and beat him. Bai Erlang ran around screaming. When he found that he could not escape, he simply went into the study and hid behind Mr. Zhuang.
Although Mr. Zhuang rarely left his study, few things that happened at home could be hidden from his eyes. He glanced back at Bai Erlang, shook his head, and tapped his head, saying, "Alright, get out."
Bai Erlang walked out of the study contentedly and raised his eyebrows at the two of them proudly.
Bai Shan glared at him, but did not hit him again.
Bai Erlang then walked over to the two of them and started talking to them. "What were you talking about? I called you when I came in, but you didn't even answer me. You didn't even notice me even when I was right in front of you."
Can Bai Shan tell him?
Of course that's not possible. Telling him would be like telling the whole world.
So Bai Shan said, "We are talking about the I Ching. Do you want to listen?"
Bai Erlang turned and left.
Bai Shan snorted, and it was his turn to feel smug.
Manbao was temporarily relieved from the sadness and shock, but he still spent half the night thinking before falling asleep.
But Zhou Silang on the opposite side was miserable. He almost didn't sleep the whole night, tossing and turning, feeling as if his heart was burning. When the rooster crowed in the early morning, he shed two tears of sadness, feeling that it was really too difficult.
It's like a dead end, and it seems that no matter which direction you go, it's the wrong one.
He felt that this was too difficult and he couldn't make up his mind at all. He had to go home to find his parents and elder brother.
So Zhou Silang felt that he had closed his eyes for less than a quarter of an hour when he heard noises outside and everyone got up one after another.
Zhou Silang had no choice but to get up from the bed and said to Manbao, who was washing his face in the yard, "Manbao, I'm going home today. You must behave well in Yizhou City and don't cause any trouble."
Manbao turned around with the water and glanced at her fourth brother. "Don't you come home every now and then? Why did you tell me specifically? I've never been in trouble before."
Zhou Silang slapped his head. He always felt that Manbao's look at him made him feel a little guilty. He coughed lightly and covered it up, "Isn't it just that I'm worried about you? Okay, I know you're being good. Lijun stays here. If you need anything, go find her. I'm going to go pack my things."
Manbao was not in a hurry to go to the pharmacy. He had breakfast at home, watched Bai Shan and Bai Erlang go to school, then squatted at the door to watch Zhou Silang walk away. Then he stood up, patted his butt and went to the pharmacy.
Mr. Zhuang suddenly called her, "Wait a moment, I'm about to go out too, let's go together."
It had been a long time since the master and the apprentice had walked quietly on the street like this. Mr. Zhuang sent Manbao to the drugstore. He walked slowly and leisurely. Manbao, who was a little anxious at first, slowly calmed down after walking for more than a quarter of an hour and followed Mr. Zhuang silently.
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly with satisfaction.
It was early in the morning, but there were already quite a few pedestrians on the street. Some parents were holding their children's hands to buy naan, but the children were looking at the buns in the bun shop next door and were reluctant to leave.
Although his parents scolded him a few times and hesitated for a moment, they still took out money to buy him buns.
When Mr. Zhuang saw it, he stopped and motioned Manbao to go and look.
Manbao was completely confused.
Mr. Zhuang then said, "Manbao, in my opinion, your parents' love for you is no less than that of this couple for their son. There are some things that don't require too much scrutiny. What matters is their feelings for each other."
Manbao was stunned when he heard this, then he widened his eyes and asked, "Sir, do you know?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "I don't know."
Manbao said anxiously: "I don't know why you would say such a thing?"
"Because you have eyes, and you also have this," Mr. Zhuang nodded his head, then reached out and gently patted her head. "Things in this world should be seen not only with the eyes, but also with the heart and the brain. No matter what happens, don't jump to conclusions too quickly."
Manbao then asked, "So, do you think my father is a bad person?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your father doesn't have that kind of courage or ability."
It’s not easy to be a bad guy. Zhou Jin is at most an ordinary stingy person.
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "I also think my father is not a bad person...but what are County Magistrate Tang and the others investigating?"
Mr. Zhuang sighed and said, "Manbao, although I hope you can be more sensible, no matter how sensible you are, you are only twelve or thirteen years old. You are still children, so you should just watch over the adults' affairs and don't need to get involved too much."
Manbao opened his mouth and thought: How could he not participate? That's her biological father... No, maybe not her biological father, but he's still a father.
Manbao pouted.
Mr. Zhuang did not force it. Not everything in this world could go according to his wishes. He knew that Manbao would not listen to his advice, but he still had to persuade him.
Mr. Zhuang walked Manbao outside the pharmacy and said, "No matter how many troubles you have in life, you still have to study. Go in and don't waste your time. If you have fewer patients, practice calligraphy. Look at Bai Shan's current handwriting and yours. The gap is widening."
Manbao immediately cheered up and said seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I will try my best."
Notice: I changed the name of Lai Tou from Dazhu to Dali, because I suddenly remembered that the village chief's eldest son was also named Dazhu.
