Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 868 This place has good feng shui

Although Niu Qi is extremely selfish, particularly ignorant, and very disunited, it has to be admitted that Niu Qi does not deserve the death penalty.

And now that Niu Qi is dead, the village chief Sun Dafu, accountant Li Youcai, and militia captain Sun Xiangfeng are absolutely responsible.

Because if the three of them had not forced Niu Qi to kill Hei Xia Zi as an example to others, Niu Qi would never have died in the mountains.

So it is only natural that Sun Dafu has a gloomy face.

Fortunately, Niu Qi's popularity was really bad, and even the people of his own Niu family were offended by him. Moreover, after learning that Niu Qi was missing, the three leaders including Sun Dafu promptly organized the villagers to go into the mountains to search for him.

The most important thing is that the village chief Sun Dafu went into the mountains himself.

Otherwise, a large-scale fight would inevitably break out between the Sun family and the Niu family in Kaoshantun.

You have to know that large-scale armed fights were not a big deal in the countryside at that time.

There is no other way. When reason doesn’t work, force is always the last and only way to solve the problem.

Under the leadership of Li Mu, Niu Dayou and others, Sun Dafu led everyone to Niu Qi's body.

It might be that the approaching of the crowd startled the flies and green bean flies, causing them to all fly around, giving people a feeling that the sky was covered by them.

However, the flying flies also allowed everyone to see Niu Qi's miserable condition at this time.

At this time, Niu Qi was already unrecognizable, with his entire head and body covered with snow-white maggots.

The density of maggots in the eye sockets and mouth, including the nostrils where there was no nose, was terrifying. They were all densely packed and constantly rolling white maggot balls.

The internal organs in the stomach were all gone, leaving only an incomplete rib cage exposed. Densely packed white maggots were surging and rolling back and forth inside.

Li Biao pulled both thighs apart at the knees, and the two thighs that had been separated from the body were not far away from the body, with incomplete pants still covering them.

It can be seen that Li Biao actually knows how to be clean and dirty, and he knows how to use his pants as a barrier to grab the thigh and drag it out of the groove.

Seeing this scene, almost everyone's face turned very bad.

The foul smell in the air accelerated everyone's psychological reaction, and everyone's throat began to move up and down continuously.

Soon, many people couldn't help vomiting.

Then almost everyone started to retch.

Of course, there are only three exceptions, namely Wang An, Wang Li, and Li Biao.

Although Wang An and Wang Li couldn't help but dry heave a few times, their heaves were not as severe as those of the others.

But the divine beast Li Biao was different. It was as if he couldn't smell the stench at all. Not only did he not retch, but even the expression on his face didn't change significantly.

Wang An was very suspicious that Li Biao's nose was actually a dead nose, that is, a nose without sense of smell.

Otherwise, he just likes the smell of this stench.

After a while, everyone subconsciously retreated. It was obvious that they couldn't stand the stench and wanted to stay away from this place.

As everyone moved away, they slowly recovered one by one.

Sun Dafu stared straight at the direction of Niu Qi's body and said to everyone in a low voice:

"Everyone, tell me about Niu Qi's body. How are we going to bring him back?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other. It was obvious that no one could think of a good solution.

The main thing was that Niu Qi's body looked invincible. It was so difficult to even get close to him. If he wanted to clean up the body, how strong a person would he have to be to do it?
To be honest, unless forced to do so with a gun, no one would take the initiative to touch it except Li Biao, the divine beast.

So after everyone looked at each other, they all fell into silence.

Seeing that no one was talking, Sun Dafu continued:
"We are all relatives in the village, so we can't just watch Niu Qi's body lie exposed in the mountains, right?"

However, after Sun Dafu finished speaking, everyone remained silent and no one responded.

No one responded, and Sun Dafu was at a loss as to what to do, so he took out his pipe and started smoking.

The key point is that this kind of thing cannot be forced, it all depends on voluntary participation. If no one is willing, then there will be no law.

After a while, militia captain Sun Xiangfeng said:

"Why don't we go down the mountain and bring back some lime, and then use the lime to nitrate the body. Otherwise, we can't get close to it, and no one can do anything about it."

After Sun Xiangfeng finished speaking, a villager said:

"I don't think you need to go down the mountain to carry lime. You can just burn some firewood into ash and then add saltpeter to the ash. Ash is clean and can suppress the stench. Otherwise, who can stand the smell?"

Another villager surnamed Li said:
"I think the feng shui of this piece of land is pretty good, so I can just bury it here and save myself the trouble."

Wang An also echoed:

"Well, this piece of land is surrounded by mountains and water. I think it's quite good."

To be honest, this is what Wang An thought from the bottom of his heart, but since no one took the initiative to bring it up, Wang An just didn't want to bring it up.

Anyway, people who died suddenly cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb. If they want to be buried in the ancestral tomb, they have to wait until Niu Qi’s wife or Niu Qi’s son dies and then be taken to the ancestral tomb.

So in Wang An's opinion, it would be better to just bury Niu Qi there and save trouble.

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li also echoed:
"I think it's a good place to bury myself."

Immediately afterwards, everyone spoke in agreement, but without exception, they all agreed to bury Niu Qi directly there.

After all, no one is stupid. For everyone, directly burying it is the simplest and most trouble-free way.

After everyone finished talking, Sun Dafu, with a troubled look on his face, filled his pipe with tobacco again and started smoking again.

Everyone continued to smoke in silence.

Suddenly, Sun Dafu asked everyone with a troubled look on his face:
"Shouldn't we ask Niu Qi's wife what she thinks about this matter?"

Everyone rolled their eyes and stopped talking.

If you ask Niu Qi's wife about this, she will most likely want to transport Niu Qi back and bury him 100 steps west of the ancestral tomb.

Because normally, this is how people who die suddenly are treated.

If he were buried in the wilderness, Niu Qi's wife would definitely not be able to accept it.

Sun Xiangwen hesitated and said:

"If she insists on going down the mountain, unless she collects the bodies herself, it's a disgusting job, so who would do it?"

I have to say that what Sun Xiangwen said makes a lot of sense.
