Seeing Aunt Liu's granddaughter, Zhang Dazhuang hurriedly asked her.
"Little boy, what are you doing at home? It smells so bad."
The little girl in front of him shook her head in confusion.
"We didn't do anything."
Seeing that she didn't know, Zhang Dazhuang could only frown and continue, "Where's your grandmother?"
He thought the child was too young to be sensitive to smells, or simply didn't know the situation, so he wanted to ask Aunt Liu directly.
However, what he didn't expect was that the little girl's answer was still the same.
"Grandma is sleeping."
Why are you sleeping again?!
It's already past nine o'clock?
The more Zhang Dazhuang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Has Aunt Liu been sleeping too much these days?
The last time he came to inquire about the situation, Aunt Liu was sleeping, and she is still sleeping now.
Before, he thought that nothing had happened to Aunt Liu, but now it seems that she is really not feeling well.
Zhang Dazhuang hurriedly said, "Can you call grandma out now? Just tell her that Uncle Zhang next door wants to ask her something."
Seeing that he looked anxious, as if there was something urgent, the little girl nodded sensibly.
"Tsk, I'll go tell grandma right away."
After saying that, he turned and ran into the house.
Zhang Dazhuang stood at the gate of the yard waiting, smelling the increasingly strong stench in the yard. For some reason, the uneasy premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
After waiting for a while, he still didn't see Aunt Liu come out.
He felt more and more that something was wrong, and couldn't help but walk towards the yard.
As he walked in, he called out, "Auntie Liu, are you still here? I'm coming in."
Just as he was about to reach the door of the house, he heard the voice of Aunt Liu's granddaughter coming from a room on the first floor.
The two granddaughters seemed to be calling Aunt Liu.
"Grandma, wake up."
"Grandma, please don't sleep anymore. Uncle Zhang wants to see you!"
But all I could hear was the two of them calling "Grandma", and no other sounds.
Aunt Liu never responded to them from beginning to end.
Zhang Dazhuang didn't care about rushing in at this moment. He immediately went into Aunt Liu's house and ran to the house where the sound came from.
The entrance to Aunt Liu's house is the main hall, which is also the large living room. When going to the bedrooms on the first floor, you have to go through the living room.
When walking through the living room, Zhang Dazhuang glanced at it casually, and then saw two bowls on the table in the living room.
Those two bowls are very cute, with cartoon characters on them. You can tell at a glance that they are the bowls used by Aunt Liu’s two granddaughters.
At this moment, there was still a little rice left in the two bowls, and it could be seen that the food in front was fried rice.
Zhang Dazhuang didn't think much about it at the time. He just thought that the two children seemed to really like eating fried rice.
Otherwise, Aunt Liu wouldn't have made fried rice for them so often.
While thinking, he had already arrived at the door of Aunt Liu's bedroom.
The bedroom door was not closed, so he looked inside.
He saw Aunt Liu's two granddaughters standing in front of her window, calling her and gently pushing her with their little hands.
Maybe the two little girls had already noticed that something was wrong with their grandmother, but they didn't know what was going on and could only continue calling her.
At this moment, Aunt Liu was lying on her side, her face facing the wall and her back facing the door.
Therefore, Zhang Dazhuang didn't know what her situation was.
only......
As soon as I walked to the door of the house, the stench became stronger.
He was certain that the smell came from Aunt Liu's house.
Seeing that Aunt Liu didn't wake up no matter what, the stench of decay filled the whole house.
Zhang Dazhuang's heart skipped a beat, and an absurd guess suddenly emerged in his mind.
No, that's impossible.
Aunt Liu has always been in very poor health, so it's unlikely that she will die...
While forcing himself to comfort himself, he walked into Aunt Liu's bedroom and came to her bedside.
When approaching Aunt Liu's bed, Zhang Dazhuang even saw a few flies circling around Aunt Liu's body!
His whole body was frozen, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He moved several times before he could utter a cry.
"Liu, Aunt Liu?"
No response.
Zhang Dazhuang's heart sank again and again.
Finally, he looked at the two little girls beside him who had tears in their eyes and wanted to cry but didn't dare to. He could only muster up the courage and turn Aunt Liu over.
Turn Aunt Liu's face over.
He saw that her skin color was extremely abnormal, bluish and white, as if she had gone to bed.
With trembling hands, he placed his fingers on Aunt Liu's nose, feeling her breath.
But after a few seconds, he widened his eyes in disbelief.
Aunt Liu, she's not breathing.
Aunt Liu passed away just like that, something no one had expected.
Zhang Dazhuang could only let the two children call their mother with a heavy heart.
The two children already knew what "death" meant. Death meant that their grandmother would never wake up again and would never be able to talk to them again.
The two children cried loudly on the phone and told their mother what happened.
Aunt Liu's daughter didn't believe it at first and thought the two children were lying to her.
After all, her mother had always been in good health, so how could she suddenly die?
Seeing this, Zhang Dazhuang had no choice but to answer the phone and tell her that Aunt Liu had really passed away.
The two families were neighbors, so Aunt Liu's daughter certainly knew him, and she also knew that Zhang Dazhuang would never joke about such a thing.
She immediately stopped caring about anything else, hung up the phone and drove back quickly.
After returning home, he confirmed with his own eyes that his mother was dead, and heart-wrenching cries were instantly heard in the house.
After the death of Aunt Liu, her descendants began to deal with her funeral affairs. As a neighbor, Zhang Dazhuang also went to help.
When dealing with Aunt Liu's aftermath, one thing shocked everyone.
Because they found out that Aunt Liu died of acute myocardial infarction, and before Zhang Dazhuang came in to confirm Aunt Liu's death, she had been dead for at least five days!
In other words, during this period of time, Aunt Liu's two granddaughters never noticed that their grandmother had passed away, and they continued to live with her!
But both children are already in elementary school. No matter how ignorant they are, it is impossible for them not to be able to distinguish between a "dead person" and a "living person".
Moreover, the two children have been working in the city for so long that they have never cooked. Even if they knew how to cook, they would not be able to use the firewood stove in the countryside.
Aunt Liu is gone. No matter how much the two children can endure hunger, it is impossible for them to starve for five or six days without any problems.
And what surprised and horrified everyone the most was...
