Chapter 110: Throwing away corpses
Several men from the Wan family were standing in the yard looking in the direction of the Shen family.
At this time, several men from the Shen family were carrying a person together and walking out. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were probably heading towards the end of the village.
"Brother, why do I think they are carrying a person?"
Wan Laoer stared at the way they walked. Although he couldn't see clearly because there was a fence blocking their view, from the way they walked, they were almost the same.
"Let's go and take a look. The Shen family still owes us fifteen taels of silver. It's been a few days, and we haven't seen a single tael of silver. This time we can catch them in the act. They must be up to no good, otherwise why would they sneak around in the middle of the night?"
After saying this, Boss Wan was the first to walk out of the fence gate.
Wan Laosi quickly ran back to explain the reason to the women in the room.
"Mom, the people from the Shen family seem to be doing something bad. We are going to follow them and take a look. Don't worry, we will be back soon."
Old Lady Wan was still sitting cross-legged on the kang. Hearing this, she warned, "Be careful. There is not a single good person in the Shen family. The only good one was beaten by them and lay on the kang like a ghost. It's really a sin."
After being reminded by Old Lady Wan, Old Fourth suddenly thought of something. Could it be that the person they carried out in the middle of the night was the eldest sister-in-law of the Shen family? Could she be dead?
When Wan Lao Si thought of this possibility, he quickly followed Wan Lao Da and the others out.
The brothers followed the brothers of the Shen family to a cemetery one mile outside the village. It was a wasteland at first, but later as more people were buried here, it became a cemetery for the exiles of Shizi Village.
The cemetery was filled with dead branches and leaves, and from time to time there were cries of jackdaws, which sounded extremely terrifying and eerie.
Several brothers of the Wan family could not help but shiver. They felt that the temperature inside the cemetery was much lower than outside. It was not the dry cold outside, but there was obviously a chilly atmosphere here.
"Here it comes, get out of the way." Boss Wan whispered, and quickly took his brothers to hide behind a small grave.
At this time, the footsteps of the three brothers of the Shen family were getting closer, and the brothers of the Wan family also heard their conversation clearly.
"Brother, we left people here. Why do I feel a little panicked?"
"What the hell, are we really going to let this unlucky star die in our home? Our family has been unlucky enough recently. If we let this unlucky star die in our home again, our family will never be able to recover. It happens that the New Year is tomorrow, so if we clear this person out, our family can have a good New Year. Without this unlucky star in the house, we will definitely have a smooth year next year."
Shen Lao Er patted Shen Lao San on the head, somewhat angry at him for not fighting back.
"But second brother, the village chief said that if Shen died, he would expel us from Shizi Village."
"The village chief was just trying to scare us, but you took it seriously? This is our family affair after all. The village chief turned a blind eye and let it go. Can he really kick us out? Then we will say that Shen's family is incurable and died on their own. What does it have to do with us?"
Shen Laowu agreed with what Shen Laoer said.
"Second brother is right. Third brother, stop being so fussy. Let's go back quickly. I don't want to stay in this damn place any longer. It's really unlucky."
The voices of several people gradually faded away.
The Wan family brothers then came out from behind the grave.
"Second brother, did you hear that? These scumbags really didn't treat Shen's illness. They dragged her to death. They didn't even dare to throw her away during the day, but waited until the middle of the night to carry her out."
Wan Laoer and his friends also despised the behavior of the men in the Shen family.
However, since they were already there, they decided to go and see Shen. Those people just threw the person on the ground without even planning to bury him. Even if Shen was a bad person, the person was dead and everything in life should be let go. Besides, Shen had worked so hard for the Shen family for so many years, but in the end, his body was left exposed in the wilderness. It made people feel sad just thinking about it.
The man from the Wan family walked in the direction where the Shen family had just gone, and after many twists and turns, he finally found Shen's body at the innermost part of the cemetery.
"Brother, we didn't bring anything with us. Why don't we go back and report to the village chief and ask the Shen family to come and bury the body tomorrow? This will also be considered as us doing some good deeds for the Shen family."
Boss Wan, however, had other concerns. He thought that even Shen’s bones might not be found tomorrow.
However, these people followed here on a whim and had no weapons in their hands, so they could only go back home and talk about it tomorrow.
"Okay, let's go back first. We should inform the village chief about this matter immediately. Being neighbors with such people makes me feel numb all over."
As Boss Wan was speaking, he was about to leave when suddenly a hand grabbed his trouser leg. Although the force was not strong, it was enough to make Boss Wan break out in a cold sweat.
"Second brother, something seems to be grabbing my trouser leg, could it be that thing?"
Boss Wan is usually quite brave. He killed someone last time, so he feels that he is much braver than others. However, when he is really faced with this situation, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Wan Lao Er quickly lowered his head to look at Wan Lao Da's trouser leg, and saw that Shen's hand was tightly grasping Wan Lao Da's trouser leg and would not let go.
"Oh my god, the corpse has come back to life, Shen has made a move."
Wan Laoer let out a howl, scaring away the crows on the tree. Dozens of crows fluttered into the air across the cemetery.
Wan Lao San and Wan Lao Si were so scared that they stood back to back, staring at Shen on the ground.
After Wan Laoer screamed, he was not so scared anymore. He plucked up his courage and squatted down.
Wan Laoer took a closer look at Shen, but because he didn't have a fire starter with him, he couldn't see clearly.
Shen's face was blurred and Wan Laoer's hands were shaking like a sieve. He put his hand under Shen's nose.
At this moment, his heart was beating in his throat and his mouth was about to jump out, but he still gritted his teeth and reached out his hand.
Finally, Wan Laoer's hand touched Shen's nose, and at this time Shen's hand suddenly rested on Wan Laoer's wrist.
Wan Laoer was already extremely nervous, and at this moment he jumped up with a loud yell.
"Ghost!"
Wan Laoer could no longer bear the terrifying atmosphere and started to run away.
After being grabbed by Boss Wan, he was told not to wander around in the cemetery at this time. If he came across something unclean, it would be a big disaster.
"Second brother, calm down." Boss Wan shouted loudly, which made Second Brother Wan sober up a little.
Boss Wan had recovered by now. He never believed in monsters. Otherwise, he would have been killed by their spirits after killing so many animals. He was just afraid out of instinct, but now he could face it calmly.
After Wan Lao Er was caught by Wan Lao Da, Wan Lao Da let go of his hand, squatted down, and put his hand directly towards Shen's breath.
After a while, Boss Wan felt a light breath exhaled, and he let out a long sigh.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, the person is still alive. The people of the Shen family are really crazy. They just left a living person here to die. Now that we have encountered them, we can't just ignore them. We can also ask the village chief to take charge and punish this family and make them return the money they owe us as soon as possible."
When the brothers heard that Shen was still alive, they realized it was a false alarm and gathered around.
"Brother, shall we carry the person back now?"
"What else can we do if we don't carry him back? If we leave him alone overnight, he will surely be gone tomorrow morning."
After discussing it, they carried the person directly to the village chief's house.
