Seeing that they were ready, Cheng Hu opened the door, and Bai Nuo then realized that "tragic" was an understatement.
The entire room was filled with blood. Bai Dalin and Chen Qiuling were both on the bed, which was stained red with blood. The bloodstains on the floor were the same and had already congealed.
“I want to see him!” Bai Nuo said softly.
"But..." Cheng Hu wanted to say, this is too scary. Even as a man, he doesn't dare to go in.
"It's alright, he's still my father, I have to see him one last time!" Bai Nuo said calmly.
Cheng Hu wanted to say that if they wanted to see Bai Dalin one last time, they could go to the yamen (government office) instead of going inside. The coroner would prepare the body and take it there. However, seeing Bai Nuo's resolute expression and that Hu Mingmei had already taken Bai Nuo's hand and was preparing to go inside, Cheng Hu could only nod. He said, "Then be careful not to step in the blood!"
Bai Nuo nodded and went inside with Hu Mingmei.
The two walked to Bai Dalin and Chen Qiuling's bedside. Hu Mingmei pulled Bai Nuo into his arms and looked at their corpses. Bai Nuo patted Hu Mingmei in dissatisfaction, "I haven't seen them yet!"
Hu Mingmei said calmly, "Neither of them closed their eyes. You'll be scared if you see that!"
Hu Mingmei continued, "Both are dead. Bai Dalin's fatal wound was in his neck, deep enough to expose the bone, while Chen Qiuling's fatal wound was in her head, also deep enough to expose the bone!"
With just a simple sentence, the tragedy that unfolded in the room was summed up.
Hu Mingmei didn't want Bai Nuo to look up, and Bai Nuo naturally didn't raise her head either. She leaned against Hu Mingmei's chest, as if she had become a pure land in this filthy place. The faint, pleasant medicinal fragrance filled her nostrils, and Bai Nuo finally felt that the nausea had subsided a lot.
"What about the baby?" Bai Nuo suddenly remembered that Chen Qiuling was already full-term pregnant and would give birth at any moment.
The person is dead, and the child... does he still have a chance to live?
"I'm afraid it's no use!" Hu Mingmei said calmly. "She also has a cut on her stomach; she probably won't survive!"
All right!
Hu Lingling is truly someone who either doesn't do anything at all, or she does it to the extreme.
She's much more ruthless than her. Luckily, this person is already insane; if she were still alive, she would be a problem too.
She didn't want to run into a madman.
"Let's go, there's nothing more to see!" Hu Mingmei said, then swept Bai Nuo up in his arms. Bai Nuo's face was still buried in Hu Mingmei's chest when he lifted her up and carried her out. Although Hu Mingmei took medicine all year round, like a walking pharmacy, it was only on their wedding night that Bai Nuo realized how strong he was; lifting her up with one hand was no problem for him.
"It's too dirty here. When we get back, I'll have my aunt boil some pomelo leaf water for a bath," Hu Mingmei said casually.
Only after they reached the door did Hu Mingmei put Bai Nuo down. Cheng Hu was already immune to the sight of Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei hugging and cuddling, and asked expressionlessly, "What should we do with their bodies?"
Bai Nuo said calmly, "Once everything is settled here, clean up the bloodstains on the ground. Let me know if Bai Dalin's body is alright, and I'll go and bring it back!"
For the sake of the old woman, she will allow Bai Dalin to be properly buried.
"What about the other two?" Cheng Hu asked.
“You can place them in the government office or the mortuary!” Bai Nuo said calmly. “A concubine, and the child she had with another man, cannot be buried in our ancestral grave.”
"But..." Cheng Hu hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up, "If the other two can't be properly buried, I'm afraid they'll harbor a lot of resentment!"
"Aren't the people who killed them still alive?" Bai Nuo looked at Hu Lingling and gave a cold smile. "If you have any grievances, go find the people who killed them."
For some reason, Bai Nuo looked at Hu Lingling and felt that Hu Lingling was not crazy. A person who dared to kill, and killed so many people, must have a very good mental quality. How could she go crazy so easily?
But when she looked at Hu Lingling, Hu Lingling was still playing with the murder weapon in her hand with her head down, and occasionally talking to herself. Bai Nuo couldn't find any evidence to prove that Hu Lingling had gone crazy, so she had to give up.
"Alright!" Seeing that Bai Nuo had made up her mind, Cheng Hu didn't say anything more. "We'll contact you once we've handled things here!"
Bai Nuo nodded politely and said, "If there's nothing else, we'll head back now. The smell of blood here is too strong."
Cheng Hu nodded.
Throughout the journey, Hu Mingmei never asked Bai Nuo why she made that decision, but Bai Nuo continued, "When we get back, tell everyone below to keep their mouths shut and not to tell Grandma about this!"
If Grandma knew that Bai Dalin was dead, she would definitely not be able to bear it. After all, losing her father early, her husband in middle age, and her son in old age is not something everyone can accept.
In particular, the old lady's health was not very good.
Bai Nuo was terrified. She had just finished tidying up for Bai Dalin when she was about to have to arrange her grandmother's funeral.
"So what do you plan to do with Bai Dalin?" Since Bai Nuo brought it up, Hu Mingmei still asked.
Bai Nuo said calmly, "Just find a dark and windy night and send Bai Dalin's body back to the village for burial!"
A few days later, Cheng Hu finally returned to Duobaoge and told Bai Nuo that everything had been sorted out and they could retrieve Bai Dalin's body.
