Chapter 142 Only One Breath Left
Mid-Autumn Festival.
He said Mid-Autumn Festival.
What is Mid-Autumn Festival?
The person on the bed was sweating profusely and became irritable. In his dream, he was struggling to open his eyes.
Chang'an...
Chang'an...
Changan...Mid-Autumn Festival, can't...
Finally, he opened his eyes.
As far as the eye could see, there was only darkness.
Sweat was dripping down my forehead, and the severe pain in my lumbar spine extended from my dream. It was not physical, but psychological.
The sound of broken bones and the despair of the whole world collapsing made him feel like he was trapped in a quagmire with no way out.
A refreshing fragrance drifted in the wind, and he suddenly woke up.
After waking up, he suddenly realized that the dream he had just had was exactly what happened in prison.
However, at that time, when he was unconscious, he only vaguely heard his brothers calling him, his eldest brother calling him, but he didn't know what they were shouting.
But in his dream just now, he actually heard what his brother said in his ear.
But, I still can’t hear it completely.
He always felt that if he concentrated a little harder, he would be able to hear clearly.
But he woke up.
If Sonning were here, it would explain this phenomenon.
Brain storage.
Although Huo Changan was unconscious at the time, his brain automatically stored those words.
All it takes is deep hypnosis or some kind of stimulation to dig this information out of your brain.
Obviously, it was those calming flowers that made him concentrate so deeply, which was equivalent to the effect of hypnosis.
But at this moment, he couldn't continue the dream no matter what.
…
Just as the sky was getting light, there was a loud knock on the Huo family's door.
The whole family was awakened.
"Aunt, aunt, something happened at home..."
The person outside the door was Huo Jiangchu.
His eyes were bloodshot, his beard was unshaven, and his tall figure was thinner than a few days ago. He looked haggard as if he had not slept well for several nights.
"Aunt, aunt... wuwuwuwu..."
The family quickly put on their clothes and opened the door to see Huo Jiangchu kneeling on the ground crying.
He doesn't want to cry.
A real man must endure any hardship or suffering and support his parents, wife and children.
But this time I really couldn't hold on any longer.
"Jiang Chu, what's wrong?" the old lady asked anxiously.
Li Yuzhi and Mo Cuiyu went to support him from the left and right.
"My mother...is gone."
The Huo family was all stunned.
I was just extremely surprised, but not sad at all.
Looking at Ding's previous energy, I thought she could continue to struggle for a while.
I didn't expect it to be gone so soon?
At the empty doorway, only Huo Jiangchu was crying bitterly.
If it were normal life, aging, illness and death, he wouldn't be so distressed, but...
My mother died tragically!
As a son, he will never forgive himself in this life!
As he cried and sobbed, everyone couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
They didn't like Ding, but they understood what it felt like to lose a loved one.
No matter what this person was like when he was alive, you still have to go and see him after he dies.
"Jiang Chu, get up quickly, your aunt will go with you." said the old lady.
"No, Auntie, please don't go over there. My mother is... scary."
Huo Jiangchu shook his head sadly.
My aunt is old and would be frightened if she saw that scene.
"Aunt, fourth cousin, sisters-in-law, I'm here to borrow some money to buy mother some decent clothes. Also, I'd like to ask the sisters-in-law to come over and help with the funeral arrangements."
"I'll go over there." said Mo Cuiyu.
After all, they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Whether that person was alive or dead, she had no feelings for him anymore.
No need to trouble everyone.
"Don't say any more. I'm so old, I have nothing to fear from death. Yu Rou and the child are at home, and Cui Yu doesn't need to go. This is the Huo family's business and has nothing to do with you. Everyone else, come with me." The old lady arranged.
No matter how much of a jerk Mrs. Ding is, she is still a member of the Huo family. If they don't help at this time, who will?
Huo Jiangchu wanted to say something, but in the end he wiped his face hard and said nothing.
Sang Ning thought about the prices, took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to him, asking him to go buy the things.
Several people went there together.
The moment he saw Ding, Sang Ning finally understood why Huo Jiangchu said that.
Unnatural death.
How miserable!
Ding's legs were shredded with blood and flesh, revealing her white bones. Even her lower body was bitten to pieces, and there was a pile of rat droppings in the mess.
Her eyes were wide open, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and her face was so distorted that no one could recognize her original appearance.
The wall was scratched all over.
Li Yuzhi and Huo Jingya ran out and vomited on the spot.
The old lady's face turned pale with shock.
Sang Ning supported her, turned his head, and squinted at Qiao Dangui who was kneeling on the ground and crying.
"What's going on?"
"...Mom was sleeping soundly at night and a mouse got in. Dad was sleeping in my eldest brother's room and didn't hear any noise. I got up early in the morning and came over and saw..." She shivered with fear and didn't dare to continue.
The old lady shook her head: "That's impossible. No matter how deep the sleep, it's impossible not to feel anything."
She saw what condition Ding was in yesterday, and she wasn't exhausted yet.
"Dad hit Mom yesterday. Afterwards, Mom felt dizzy and said she wanted to sleep and that no one was allowed to disturb her. Dad also refused to let anyone bring her food at night. Maybe Mom just didn't have the strength anymore."
The reason is acceptable.
But why do mice bite the lower body instead of the upper body?
Sang Ning asked again, "Where are Huo Rongrong and Huo Yueyue? Their mother is dead, why don't they come to take care of her?"
Qiao Dangui wept again, "Those two troublesome ones, I don't know where they ran off to yesterday. My eldest brother went out to look for them all night, but they haven't come back yet.
Since arriving in Liangzhou, the two of them haven't left the house much. I guess they got lost somewhere and couldn't find their way home!"
Sang Ning smiled, but the coldness did not reach his eyes.
Her logic is very clear and her mental state is very stable. If she did all this, then I really underestimated her before.
"Mom, go out and talk to Second Uncle first, we'll clean up here."
The old lady really doesn't care what happens to Mrs. Ding.
She was indeed more worried about Huo Baohong.
My mother is dead, my father is lame, and three of my four children are no longer around.
How come all these things are put together?
After the old lady left, Sang Ning turned around, covered his mouth and nose, and leaned over to look at the corpse on the bed without feeling disgusted.
Qiao Dangui, lying on the ground, had a happy smile on his face.
It feels so refreshing.
Finally, I don’t have to look at the old woman’s mood anymore, no longer have to be scolded for not being able to lay eggs, and no longer have to carry feces and urine.
Thinking of what she saw when she came here early this morning:
The old woman's medicine had worn off and she was awakened by the pain, but she was only breathing her last.
Even so, he still didn't forget to scold her.
So, she came forward and kindly told her, "Mom, you drove Mo Cuiyu away, and she's living well now. Big brother was so shameless as to ask her for food today.
Also, back in Pingyang, when the county magistrate's son came to ask to marry my eldest sister, I arranged for my servants to deliberately say something indecent about her so that the son could hear it.
Who let my elder sister steal my kitten?
You actually believed me and thought it was Mo Cuiyu who messed up the marriage?
Tsk tsk, if my eldest sister had gotten married, she wouldn't have been exiled with me!"
