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

Chapter 870: Doing a Good Deed

Everyone looked at Niu Qi's wife crying there, and everyone's face showed an expression of pity. Many people turned their heads away and couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Almost everyone can empathize with the grief that Niu Qi's wife feels.

She lost her man, her child lost his father, her family lost its pillar, and the lives of the three of them were no longer colorful.
Soon, the noise here alarmed the villagers. Many female comrades in the village ran over and helped Niu Qi's wife up and took her to Niu Qi's home.

All kinds of comforting words came out of the mouths of these female comrades.

"Sister-in-law, please stop crying. You'll hurt your body if you keep crying."

"Sister-in-law, think positively. We still have to live a good life in the future."

"Sanfeng, you have to look forward. No matter what happens, we have to raise the child."

Although all the female comrades were trying to persuade and comfort Niu Qi's wife, many of them were crying.

It was obvious that these female comrades were all infected by the extreme sadness of Niu Qi's wife.

But when people are sad to a certain extent, they will not listen to anything, and any persuasion and comfort will be pale and powerless.

So Niu Qi's wife turned a deaf ear to these words and continued to cry loudly, with no sign of stopping.

The thirty or so old men who entered the mountain looked at this sad scene, and almost all of them clenched their fists tightly, but they quickly loosened them.

The main thing is that everyone is helpless about the current situation.

As Niu Qi's wife slowly left with the help of a group of female comrades, Sun Dafu sighed deeply, thought for a while, and then called out to those people with the surname Niu:
"All those with the last name Niu, follow me, and the rest of you go home."

As he spoke, Sun Dafu took the lead and walked forward, and a group of people with the surname Niu followed behind.

After Sun Dafu and his group left, Wang An and others went home one after another.

On the way back, Wang Li said to Wang An thoughtfully:
"Fourth brother, when Niu Qi was alive, he was always scheming this or that, and he almost offended everyone in our village. I was really annoyed with him."

Wang An glanced at Wang Li and said nothing, because Wang An knew that Wang Li had not finished speaking.

Seeing that Wang An did not take the initiative to answer, Wang Li continued:

"But now, seeing his wife crying like a bear, I feel like he might as well be alive. At least if he's alive, he can still get food for his whole family."

Wang An never expected that Wang Li could have such compassionate thoughts.

I have to say that Wang Li is a decent and good kid.

After Wang Li finished speaking, seeing that Wang An didn't speak, he subconsciously asked:
"Fourth brother, don't you have anything to say?"

Wang An glanced at Wang Li and said:

"Yeah, you're right."

The main thing is that Wang An really doesn’t know what to say about this kind of thing.

Other people’s misery is, after all, their own business. It may make you sad when you see it at the time, but afterwards you still have to live your life and do what you have to do.

After Wang An returned home, he simply mentioned the matter about Niu Qi to his family. Wang An did not describe Niu Qi's miserable condition in detail.

The main reason is that speaking out about this kind of thing will only make the family feel sick and uncomfortable. It can be said that there is no benefit at all, so it is better not to speak out. Two days later, I heard from the villagers that Niu Qi's wife finally listened to the advice of Sun Dafu and a group of Niu surnamed villagers and buried Niu Qi's body in the ditch on the spot.

However, according to custom, the dead must be placed in a coffin.

So the people of Lao Niu's family went out one after another, carrying lime, tools and wooden boards into the mountains again, and made a coffin for Niu Qi directly in the mountains.

Then the body was simply nitrated with lime and shoveled directly into the coffin and buried.

That’s right, Niu Qi’s body, or to be more precise, Niu Qi’s bones, were shoveled into the coffin with a shovel. This was mainly because everyone was afraid of contracting a disease or bringing about a disaster.

Although Niu Qi's wife wanted to do it herself, she was stopped by the people from Lao Niu's family.

The reason why everyone stopped Niu Qi's wife from doing it herself was because there was already a real example.

And this living example is Da Hu forcing Comrade Li Biao.

Because on the night Niu Qi was found, Li Biao started to have a high fever and became delirious.

However, Li Biao's parents, Li Facai and his wife, did not even look for the barefoot doctor in the village, but directly invited a great surgeon to their home.

It is not wrong for the couple to think so. After all, Li Biao has been in good health ever since he recovered from losing an egg.

This time, he fell ill after coming into contact with Niu Qi's corpse.

So the couple thought that Li Biao had provoked some unclean creature.

After the immortal arrived, he started to make a fuss, killing chickens, dogs, and looking for donkeys everywhere, saying that Li Biao had encountered a great evil.
In short, Li Biao and his family were tormented by this so-called "great immortal" for the whole night.

But after one night, Li Biao's condition became more serious.

When the village chief Sun Dafu heard about this, he took the militia and beat up the "immortal" and drove him out of the village.

Then, under the strong intimidation of Sun Dafu, Li Facai and his wife finally harnessed the carriage and took Li Biao to the Xing'an Township Health Center.

When he arrived at the township health center, the doctor asked a few simple questions and then gave Li Biao a shot of penicillin to reduce his high fever. After two more days of intravenous drips in the hospital, Li Biao was discharged.

Later, after the doctor's explanation, they learned that the reason why Li Biao had a fever and was sick had nothing to do with Niu Qi's corpse.

This was mainly because Li Biao took a cold shower in a hurry and was exposed to the mountain breeze for a long time with wet clothes.

In addition, Li Biao was so scared that he didn't even eat dinner, which led to him falling ill accidentally.

However, Li Biao, who was already weak, did not receive proper medical treatment immediately. Instead, he was tortured by the so-called "great immortal" for the whole night in vain.

That night was a very exhausting night for Li Biao, who became even weaker and had to stay in the township clinic for three days.

According to the doctor, if Li Biao had taken a tablet of Analgin as soon as he had a fever, he wouldn't have to go to the hospital.
To be honest, when Wang An heard the news, he laughed so hard that he squealed like a pig.

Damn, strange things happen every year, but there are especially many this year!
However, Li Biao did do one good thing, which was to let everyone know that if they are sick, they must see a doctor first.
