The end of spring planting doesn’t mean you’re really free, it’s just that the work becomes a lot easier.
However, many people in the village are curious about whose things are smelly, as they can smell a strange odor every time the wind blows.
Li Mingqing wondered what the smell was.
It definitely couldn't be food. How could every household let food go bad if they didn't have enough to eat?
Some time ago, during the spring planting season, the villagers worked in the fields during the day and went home to sleep at night, so they didn't pay much attention.
"Brother Mingqing, what's going on in the village? I smelled it last time when I came back from delivering water."
"Where did you smell it?"
"It's right in front of the village. It had just rained and I took the main road specifically."
In front of the village, Li Mingqing suddenly stood up and walked out.
"Wife, I'm going out for a while."
After Li Mingqing went out, he went straight to the village chief's house. It was really terrible because Li Goudan's house was on the first street in front of the village.
I hope he is overthinking it.
"Uncle, let me tell you something."
Seeing his serious and anxious look, the village chief Li Fugui asked, "What's the matter?"
"I think I know where the strange smell in the village comes from."
"Where? I was thinking of going door to door with your captain uncle to check. The smell is getting worse and worse."
After Li Mingqing finished speaking, the village chief did not speak for a long time.
Normally, the deceased villagers would be buried directly in the cemetery behind the village. How could Li Goudan just leave his mother's body at home?
As a child, if you don't even have this little bit of decency, you are really a piece of shit.
The two of them hurriedly called the team leader to go to Li Goudan's house together.
The door was closed tightly. After calling Li Goudan several times, he came out from the side room. From his appearance, I could tell that he had just woken up.
"Village chief, team leader, why did you bring Li Mingqing to my house?"
The village chief asked coldly, "Has your mother been buried?"
Upon hearing this, Li Goudan suddenly woke up and asked stumblingly, "Village Chief, why do you ask such a question?"
In fact, there was no need to ask at all. The strong stench of corpse as soon as I came in said it all.
"Don't you know why I'm asking this? You're not a human being. Death is like the extinguishing of a light; only when buried can one rest in peace."
Li Goudan was trembling with fear.
"Village Chief, I didn't mean to do that. I just forgot."
The village chief could no longer suppress his anger and slapped him twice.
Li Mingqing, standing nearby, exclaimed, "Well done!"
Can you just let this matter go by with a simple "forgot"? How can you forget such a matter as life and death? It must be intentional.
He is so lazy that he would rather lie down than stand, and he is absolutely too lazy to move.
Not worthy of being a human being.
Fortunately, it is not summer, otherwise the whole village would be filled with the stench of corpses.
The captain said sternly, "Hurry up and bury your mother. Go dig her grave now."
Li Goudan didn't move. After a long moment, he said, "Tomorrow, it's getting dark."
This is intolerable, what else can’t be tolerated?
Li Mingqing kicked him to the ground, and not satisfied, he kicked him several more times.
He immediately changed his words in pain, "I'll go right away, right away."
Fists are the best way to solve problems.
The village chief and the team leader were afraid that he would run away, so they followed him to the hill behind to dig soil for a grave.
Li Mingqing retired after completing his mission and returned home slowly.
Li Goudan looked back at Li Mingqing's back, his eyes empty, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Xiangxia was waiting at the intersection.
Just now when she was at home, she wanted to talk to Li Mingqing but didn't find the opportunity.
When Li Mingqing saw her, he deliberately walked to the side of the road, trying not to get close to her.
"I heard about Wang Daya. You have to be careful. She's not as kind as I am. She might use some shady tactics."
Hearing this, he looked at her meaningfully.
He really knows how to flatter himself.
"Don't come and talk to me for no reason. If your date in the city finds out, she might break up with you. After all, you're not engaged yet. This is the date in the city that your mother and you didn't have to find."
He hit the nail on the head. Li Xiangxia was indeed unsure.
Zhu Huamao met with her once a week, but he was always hesitant and did not give a clear response to her proposal of "three turns and one ring".
Li Dahua has been urging her to death these days. Every time she comes back from the county town, she has to get to the bottom of everything.
"Huamao must marry me, and we'll be engaged soon."
She spoke a little louder, as if this could ease her inner anxiety.
"I wish you success."
Li Mingqing felt that he was so kind that he could even say words of blessing.
However, he was looking forward to Li Xiangxia marrying Zhu Huamao as soon as possible. The Zhu family, young and old, were crowded in the tube building and needed her care. It must be a mess. A selfish person like her would
It's definitely not peaceful.
Where there is comparison, there is hurt. The higher the expectations, the greater the gap.
It can also be considered as revenge for the original owner.
Li Mingqing was so happy when he came home and saw the warm food on the table. It turned out that his wife was the best.
The village chief and the team leader took Li Goudan to the cemetery on the hill behind the village.
"Hurry up and dig! You're capable of doing such a wicked thing, yet you're afraid of a cemetery. I feel so sorry for your mother. Your mother may not be a good person, but she's devoted to you. You might even dream about her coming back to find me in the middle of the night."
Li Goudan stood aside, shivering and unable to even hold the shovel.
He felt cold all over and was terrified by the cold wind.
"Mom, you can't blame your son. You love him the most. How could you bear to see him suffer? I'll dig your grave right now."
He just kept talking without moving at all.
The captain said, "Hurry up and do it. If you don't, you'll be alone here. We'll go back. It's getting dark soon."
"I dig, I dig."
We stayed in the cemetery for most of the night before the grave was finally dug.
The village chief and the team leader turned and left without saying a word. Hearing footsteps, Li Goudan said confidently, "Blame Li Mingqing if you want to blame him. He was incapable of saving you. It's none of my business."
Hearing this, the village chief and the team leader turned around and kicked him one by one.
How could someone say such shameless words? If you live long enough, you will encounter anything.
The two felt ashamed that someone like Li Goudan appeared in the village, and it was shame for the Li family.
It was already late at night when the three of them returned to the village, and dawn would be around three or four hours away.
The village chief and the team leader kept silent about the matter. At dawn the next day, they grabbed Li Goudan and took his half-rotten body to the Houling cemetery.
The villagers didn't know about this, otherwise it would spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, and it would spread throughout the whole town.
This would be a serious matter, and the police might even have to come.
They believed that Li Mingqing knew the importance of the matter and would not speak nonsense.
"You are the only son of your mother. You should come and burn some paper for her during the holidays. You didn't show filial piety when you were alive, so you shouldn't do such an unfilial thing. It's not too much to come and visit her from time to time."
"You are not a child anymore. You should work hard and not starve to death."
The two men gave earnest advice, after all, they lived in the same village, and they might have the same ancestor several generations ago.
If Li Goudan continues like this, I'm really afraid he'll commit murder or arson.
Thinking of this, the village chief warned: "If you continue to have evil intentions and do nothing, I will kick you out of this village."
