Hua Ting coughed respectfully and said to Hua Shi, "Hua Shi, please help your grandmother clean up and change into clean clothes. I will call a few more people tomorrow, and we can carry her to the ancestral hall together and complete the funeral."
Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Hua Tingjing didn't want to stay any longer. Seeing that it was getting late, he could only wait until tomorrow.
It's only a day before or after, so it's not that much of a difference.
After Hua Tingjing left his words, he took the four people who were already feeling a little uneasy and left the Hua family.
After everyone left, the courtyard became quiet and Hua Li began to cry softly again.
Hua Xiao grabbed the corner of Hua Shi's clothes, recovered from her shock, and said with a sob, "Grandma... how could she... die?"
The little girl couldn't describe how she felt. She was scared, terrified... she didn't know what to do...
Hua Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
She herself didn't understand what this was...
Then he heard Hua Xiao trembling and gritting his teeth, whispering: "Grandpa...Grandpa is dead too...Wuwuwu..."
As soon as these words came out, Hua Xiao could no longer suppress the fear that surged in her heart, and she sobbed and cried out loud.
This is what she wanted to say just now, but since there were people around, she held it in and didn't dare to say it out loud...
"Wuwuwu... Daddy is dead, Grandma is dead, and now Grandpa is dead too... Wuwuwu..."
Hua Li said this with sobs, and as soon as the words came out, her tears flowed even harder.
Hua Xiao wiped the tears from her face, looked at Hua Shi with misty eyes, and asked anxiously, "...What should we do now?"
Concerning the Hua family's little affairs, everyone knows something, except for the youngest Hua Ying.
For years, Mrs. Li had been giving Mr. Hua mute drugs, trapping him in his house and never letting him leave.
Hua Xiao knew all these things, so after discovering that Old Man Hua had suddenly died, Hua Xiao and Hua Li were very panicked. In addition, Hua Ciyuan had just drowned yesterday, so the more they thought about it, the more panicked they became.
She couldn't help but huddled under the eaves and cried secretly, but the more she cried, the sadder she became, and the tears kept flowing.
Hua Shi sighed deeply, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and walked into the main hall.
"Crack—"
The half-closed wooden door made a harsh sound when she pushed it open.
The house was a little dark. Hua Shi had only been to this house twice. He tried hard to concentrate his eyes and could barely see the furnishings and layout of the house.
On the old kang bed, one could vaguely see a bulge covered by a tattered thin quilt.
Hua Shi endured the foul smell coming from her nose and took two steps towards the edge of the kang bed.
Behind him, Hua Xiao and Hua Li also followed and lay on the edge of the door. After the crying stopped, their wet eyes widened and were filled with fear.
“!”
After seeing the person on the bed, Hua Shi was shocked and frightened.
Old Man Hua's eyes were fixed on the sky, and his sunken eye sockets looked very scary in the dim light.
Hua Shi was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking more closely, you can see that the old man's chest has stopped rising and falling, and he has obviously passed away.
However, with his eyes staring upwards, it was easy to tell that he died with his eyes open...
Hua Shi trembled his fingers, reached out his hand, closed the old man's staring eyes, and raised his hand again, and those terrifying eyes were already closed.
She walked out of the house, and Hua Xiao and Hua Li also released their hands that were holding the door frame. Their eyes were red and they looked at Hua Shi timidly.
"Did you... hear... last night?"
Hua Xiao suddenly asked her in a trembling voice.
Hua Shi paused: "What did you hear?"
Hua Xiao looked up at her, tears welling up in her eyes, falling from the corners of her eyes: "I heard... Grandpa's voice, I... I heard Grandpa gasping for breath, and the sound of knocking on the bed..."
The little girl looked at her, her hunched shoulders trembling slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said nothing more.
She didn't say it explicitly, but Hua Shi understood it immediately.
Thinking back carefully, she did hear the sound last night, but the sound was too dull and she was too sleepy, so she woke up in a daze and fell asleep again.
When I woke up the next day, I thought it was just a dream...
She vaguely heard Li's sharp and piercing curses, mixed with the muffled sound of knocking on the bed...
Hua Shi pondered for a moment, then looked at Hua Xiaoshi.
Hua Xiao had obviously heard the entire process of what happened last night. When she realized what the sound was, her little body couldn't help but tremble.
In those big eyes, there is fear that cannot be hidden...
"Don't think too much." Hua Shi spoke, interrupting Hua Xiao's panic.
Hua Xiao's eyes were filled with tears again, and they fell down all at once.
She gritted her teeth, trying hard not to cry out loud...
Hua Shi looked at the two corpses placed side by side in front of the main hall and felt a headache.
After seeing that Mr. Hua died with his eyes open, Hua Shi suddenly understood.
As for why Li suffocated Mr. Hua to death overnight...
After learning that her son, who had finally achieved success, had drowned, Mrs. Li fell into a trance and ran back home in a daze.
Li was devastated, filled with anger and grief. She must have told this to Old Master Hua. After hearing the news, Old Master Hua did something that drove Li completely crazy. For example, he smiled, or showed an expression of joy and happiness that Li could not accept...
