Chapter 26 Xing Xing had heard the aunt’s voice before

Mrs. Wei asked about the relative who fell down while repairing the roof beam.

According to the clan's ranking, that man is of the same generation as Yu Daniu. Yu Daniu is a little older, but has a hunchback, so everyone usually calls him Yu Liuzi.

"Not very good." At this point, Old Man Yu sighed and shook his head. "The ladder he was standing on was a tool he brought with him. It was a bit old. One part of it broke when he was repairing the beams. It happened that he had already climbed to the roof. The ladder broke, and he missed a step. It was so high, and he fell directly down... Now he is hanging on with one breath, breathing in less than breathing out... I guess he will only live for a few days."

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but sigh.

"After word got out that our family had adopted Xingxing a few days ago, he also gave us a small bag of dried sweet potatoes he had sun-dried himself." Mrs. Wei shook her head. "Well, I'll take Xingxing to see him tomorrow."

Old Man Yu also nodded: "In terms of seniority, Xingxing should call him Second Uncle. It's polite."

So the matter was settled.

The next day, Mrs. Wei planned to take Xingxing to Yu Liuzi's house.

Yu Liuzi's home is not far from Nantuo Village, but the road is not easy to walk on. Mrs. Wei was afraid that Xingxing was young and had little physical strength, so she specially called Huai Ge'er, who had the greatest strength, to come along. If Xingxing could not walk, Huai Ge'er would carry her.

The three of them, grandfather and grandson, went to Yu Luzi's home.

Yu Liuzi's parents died young, and he had no brothers or sisters, no children, only a young widow who had been married for half a year. Therefore, his affairs were taken over by the Yu clan.

Although Yu Liuzi has not died yet, the tribe has already started preparing a coffin for him.

Firstly, I was prepared for any unexpected event so that I wouldn't be completely unprepared; secondly, I wanted to prepare a coffin just in case, just in case the person was resurrected.

But life has not been easy for everyone in recent years. This coffin is the cheapest thin wooden coffin that the clan bought with their money. It is placed right in front of the door of Yu Liuzi's mud house.

Several members of the Yu family stood nearby and chatted, which was considered as a final farewell to Yu Liuzi.

Xingxing was young, and although she managed to hold on for most of the way, she eventually became exhausted and had to be carried over by Huai'er.

When they arrived at Yu Liuzi's house, Huai Ge'er put Xingxing down, took Xingxing's hand, and followed Wei Pozi into the dilapidated wooden door of Yu Liuzi's house.

This was the first time Xing Xing had encountered such a thing. The thin painted wooden coffin was placed upright in the yard. There were many people, but most of them spoke in low voices, which could not cover up the painful groans coming from the house...

Xingxing was a little scared, her little face turned slightly pale, and she held Huaiger's hand tightly.

Huai Ge'er sensed Xing Xing's fear, so he simply held Xing Xing back in his arms.

Xingxing hugged Huai'er's neck, buried her head in Huai'er's shoulder, and did not dare to raise her head.

Mrs. Wei was a little worried.

She originally thought that if Xingxing showed up for this kind of clan affair, she would probably encounter less resistance when she later wrote Xingxing's name on the Yu family tree.

Seeing Xingxing's frightened look, Mrs. Wei felt very distressed, fearing that the child's clear eyes might have seen something dirty.

But we have come this far...

Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment, but decided not to let Xingxing into the house. She asked Huai'er to stand with her in the sunny yard.

Mrs. Wei went into the room where Yu Liuzi was recuperating - she said it was recuperation, but in fact she was just waiting to die.

When Mrs. Wei walked in, she found that Yu Liuzi's condition was even more serious than what Old Man Yu had described last night.

His face was so pale that there was no blood left.

The young widow whom Yu Liuzi had just married for half a year covered her face and cried, "You damned bastard, I thought that by marrying you, I would finally have someone to rely on for the rest of my life, but who knew that you would be so short-lived and leave me alone..."

Cried very sadly.

Mrs. Wei also sighed when she heard this.

The young widow's surname was Pu. She had fled from other places. When she first came here, she was seriously ill and fainted at Yu Luzi's door. She was about to die. Yu Luzi rescued Pu and took her home to rest. Pu begged him to save her life and said that if she recovered, she would marry him. Yu Luzi hesitated for a while, but finally spent all his family wealth, found Da Xi Si Po, and rescued Pu.

Pu also married Yu Luzi as he said.

After getting married, Yu Liuzi worked harder and tried his best to give Pu a good life. However, he never expected that he would fall off the ladder.

Isn't it true that Mrs. Pu is going to be a widow again?

Mrs. Wei shook her head, said a few words of comfort, left twenty copper coins, and whispered to Mrs. Pu: "Gather some money and see if you can buy some pain-relieving medicine, so that he won't die in such pain..."

Pu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and agreed.

Yu Liuzi was in so much pain that he couldn't recognize anyone, so Mrs. Wei didn't stay any longer and walked out of the door.

Pu sent Mrs. Wei out the door, wiped her tears and said some polite words to her.

Xing Xing, who was basking in the sun in the yard, suddenly stood up from Huai Ge'er's shoulder in confusion.

She looked at Mrs. Wei in a daze, then looked at Mrs. Pu who was talking to Mrs. Wei, and her ears moved.

Huai Ge'er's heart was on his sister, and he immediately asked, "Xingxing, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xingxing shook her head: "Xingxing is not feeling uncomfortable..."

She hesitated to speak, looking confused, and finally closed her mouth hesitantly.

Huai Ge'er had the same worry as Wei Po'zi, worried that Xing Xing had seen something dirty here.

He did not ask any more questions. Seeing that Mrs. Wei had already come out, he hurriedly left Yu Liuzi's house with his grandmother.

Mrs. Wei was in a bad mood, and Xing Xing seemed to be hesitant to speak, not knowing how to start.

Mrs. Wei noticed her granddaughter's abnormality and touched Xingxing's face: "Has Xingxing been frightened by something?"

Xing Xing shook her head vigorously, thought for a while, and still asked in confusion: "...Grandma, who was the auntie who just spoke to you?"

"Ms. Pu?" said Mrs. Wei. "She is the daughter-in-law of your uncle Lu Zi."

Xingxing was still obviously confused. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma, I've heard that auntie's voice before..."

Mrs. Wei didn't take it seriously at first.

Beimanggou, where Yu Liuzi lives, is not far from Nantuo Village. Pu might come over to visit sometimes, so it is not surprising that Xingxing has heard Pu's voice.

But Xing Xing's next words made Mrs. Wei and Huai'er's blood rush back and they were shocked on the spot.

"Grandma, I ran a little far that night and got lost. I heard that auntie talking to someone in a haystack in the wild." Xingxing hesitated for a moment, but finally told her everything. "She said, 'After that damned guy in my family dies, we can do whatever we want in the future'..."

Xingxing even imitated the emphasis that Pu had used when he spoke.

When the childish voice said these words, the hairs of Mrs. Wei and Mr. Huai stood on end!

After Xing Xing finished learning, she asked Grandma Wei in confusion: "Grandma, what is a dead ghost?"
