Chapter 112 Funeral
Dahua Village.
That afternoon, the mourning hall for Lai Zi was set up.
Laizi's house was less than 600 meters away from the ancestral hall. At this moment, white banners were put up and funeral music was playing.
Chunxian took Yunlanyue and Xiaoshan with her to give gifts.
"My condolences."
"I've been told hundreds of times not to drink, not to drink, but you still drink anyway. Go ahead and drink yourself to death."
The leper's wife started crying to everyone she met, and everyone felt very sympathetic towards her.
A healthy person got drunk and drowned in a small ditch. It would be a joke if people told others about it.
Chunxian said a few words of comfort and then returned the gift.
"Alas, the person is dead, so let's not talk about that. This is my daughter-in-law. Just call her Xingxing. I'll ask her to help in the kitchen tomorrow."
Laizi's wife wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, Sister Chunxian. Alas, if you ask me, you are really amazing. You can live so well with your son alone. Now Xiaoshan has married again. Your life will definitely get better and better in the future."
Yun Lanyue followed behind, with her eyes lowered, but she looked around with her peripheral vision.
She found that there were more elderly people in the village and not many young and middle-aged people.
According to Xiaoshan, they should all go to work, doing some flower-growing work.
Come back from vacation in batches.
The next morning, Yun Lanyue went to Laizi's kitchen with some things to help. Xiaoxue and some young women were there.
People in the village help each other. When such a big thing happens in someone's family, everyone will help if they can.
It is common to help with cooking in the kitchen.
There was a chef aunt who was with them.
After calling some people, the aunt asked Xiaoxue and Yun Lanyue to fetch water.
That’s right, it’s hard work carrying water from the river into the kitchen bucket.
The others who were not selected breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoxue silently picked up the shoulder pole and bucket and walked ahead, while Yun Lanyue followed with another bucket.
When passing by the ancestral hall, Yun Lanyue saw Yan'er standing at the door, looking at the passers-by curiously.
Yan'er is very beautiful. Perhaps because she has never been to the fields, her skin is delicate and she doesn't often come into contact with people, so her eyes are very innocent.
That's why the men in the village like to bully her.
She smiled at Yan'er and asked her to go in and hide.
There are so many people passing by here today. It is possible that some of them will become lustful and do something bad to Yan'er.
Yan'er curved her eyes happily, retreated into her little room, closed the door, and was extremely obedient.
Xiaoxue had been walking silently in front, and perhaps noticed her movement and suddenly spoke.
"Do you know her?"
"What's it to you?"
"Yan'er is very pitiful. If everyone in the village is guilty, then she is the only innocent person."
Xiaoxue's voice was calm as she spoke the truth slowly.
"I've been in the village for five years. Five years ago, she was fifteen, but she already knew how to exchange for food. What's the point of feeling sorry for her? We can't even save ourselves."
They are all highly educated people, but in this place, they feel powerless again and again.
"Xingxing, you stay here. There are some things you need to know. Put away your useless kindness and protect yourself."
It was obvious that the previous two meetings between them were not pleasant, but she was still able to say these words.
Yun Lanyue didn't understand her complicated heart, but she knew that these words were said for her own good.
"Thank you, but I know my own business."
Just like leaving, she had already planned it in her mind.
Whether she fails once or twice, her determination to leave will not change.
“How many people are guarding the way out of the village?”
Xiaoxue turned around and looked at her in surprise, as if she didn't expect her to ask this question.
"You still want to run? Haha, you can't run away. The village entrance has a shift system, usually four young and strong men are guarding it."
Two years ago, when she wanted to escape, she ran to the village entrance but was caught and brought back.
Liu Quan said this when he beat her, and she kept it in mind. Later, she gave up the idea of escaping.
She is alone and can't run away.
"Everyone who was trafficked into the village wanted to escape, but no one succeeded."
The oldest one is already in his forties and his son is already an adult.
She didn't know who else wanted to leave.
But she never stopped, and always kept it in her heart silently.
"oh."
Yun Lanyue thought to herself, they are just four men.
After the people in the village were knocked down, the threat posed by those four men became much smaller.
This funeral is truly a great opportunity.
The two of them ran back and forth, sweating profusely before they finally filled the bucket.
Without stopping, the aunt asked them to help pick vegetables without stopping for a moment.
It was almost noon and most of the people helping in the kitchen had left, so everyone went to the front to eat.
The aunt asked, "We need to stir-fry a vegetarian dish at the end. Who will come later?"
Xiaoxue didn't say anything, and Yun Lanyue stood up.
"Let me do it. I know how to stir-fry vegetables."
"Here are the dishes. You can start cooking them after I leave."
The aunt left after she finished speaking, and a look of confusion flashed across Xiaoxue's face.
Seeing Yun Lanyue preparing to start cooking, he quickly said, "Wait a minute!"
She turned and left, but within two minutes she ran back and gave her what she was holding in her arms.
“Stir-fry this in there.”
