Chapter 336 Fang's Death
The matter of Fang's return to Luoshui Village was relatively big, even Xu Nanshan and Han's who were enjoying the cool air in their yard listened to the voice.Seeing Qiulin come back now, naturally he had to catch her and ask her.Qiulin answered one by one, and the two couldn't help but sigh when they heard that Xu Nanyun's father and daughter had made up their minds to drive Fang away.

But hey, hey, hey, they will never sympathize with Fang Shi, this is all her own fault, now her husband doesn't want her, and her daughter drives her out, it's all her own fault.To paraphrase what the little girl said just now, that is, if you don't die, you won't die!
After walking around for a while, Qiulin was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.In the dark, I found two pieces of corn tortillas and fried dried fish in the stove, and stuffed them into my mouth.

On a hot day, the peasants have no appetite, and usually drink porridge and stir-fry two vegetables to get rid of it.Qiulin is now eating porridge, corn tortillas and dried fish to fill his stomach.Qiulin found a change of clothes and went to take a shower.In this midsummer, she just felt that she was sweating non-stop and her whole body was sticky. She wished she could take a bath twice a day!
After taking a bath, there was no sticky feeling, and I felt comfortable all over.After taking a bath, I enjoyed the cool air with my parents in the yard again.On summer nights in the countryside, the coolness recedes quickly, especially under the big tree, where there is a gentle breeze, so farmers like to go under the big tree to enjoy the cool at night.

The only annoying thing is that under the shade of the trees is where mosquitoes gather. These mosquitoes are larger than the night mosquitoes that we usually see, with longer tentacles, commonly known as mountain night mosquitoes.Once bitten by this kind of mosquito, a big red bump will definitely form.Therefore, when farmers enjoy the cool, they will also light wormwood for mosquito-smoking under the shade of trees, and they will also hold cattail fans in their hands.It doesn't necessarily have to be fanned to drive away heat, sometimes it is used to beat mosquitoes.

The nights in summer are not quiet, and the cicadas chirping and the frogs croaking, but the breeze is blowing, which is pleasant.The whole family sits around on the stone bench under the yellow horn tree, eats iced watermelon, chats, and is contented.

At this moment, Qiulin unconsciously thought of Mrs. Fang again. If she was a peaceful woman, she would have grandchildren in her arms by now.

In the early morning of the next day, Qiulin was still sleepy when he suddenly heard noises outside the house, the noise was quite loud, and it seemed that something had happened.Qiulin turned over, smacked her lips, and was about to continue sleeping.Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came to my ears, followed by the sound of "squeaky" pushing the door. "Miss Si, get up quickly, something serious has happened!" Xiao Qing's voice was urgent and high, Qiu Lin trembled all over, and reluctantly opened her eyes.

After being called out by Xiaoqing, all sleepy creatures ran away, but Qiulin herself was still a little reluctant.Sitting up from the bed with pursed mouth, looking at Xiaoqing's anxious expression, he asked, "What happened?"

Seeing Qiulin wake up, Xiaoqing hurriedly coaxed, "Miss Qiuhuai's mother is dead!" Xiaoqing was covered by the shadow of death, and her face turned pale.

What!Qiulin also involuntarily widened his eyes.There is a saying that good people don't live long, and evil people live for thousands of years!Qiulin couldn't believe it, "Are you sure, what's going on?"

Xiaoqing handed Qiulin the clothes and said: "The younger brother of the second young lady went to school today, but found that there was something wrong with the fish pond in front of their house. When I went to it, it turned out to be a swollen corpse. It's Miss Qiuhuai's mother!" After all, Xiaoqing is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and her face turned pale when she mentioned these inexplicably frightening things.

After hearing Xiaoqing explain the cause and effect, Qiulin couldn't help but not believe it.She hurriedly put on her clothes, put on her shoes, casually tied her hair in a bun, ran to the stove to scoop up water to wash her face, and didn't even care about eating, so she ran directly to the fish pond in front of the second sister-in-law's house.

At this time, the shore of the originally narrow fish pond was already crowded with people, and it was completely dark.Qiulin boldly moved away from the crowd and wanted to go up to watch.

At this moment, a pair of warm hands covered her eyes, and beside her ears was a gentle voice like gentle wind and drizzle. "Don't look!"

Hearing that it was Xia Yan's voice, Qiu Lin suddenly felt at ease.Although she was not afraid of seeing Fang's corpse, Qiu Lin felt that it was okay for someone to stand in front of her so gently.

After Qiu Lin withdrew from the crowd, Xia Yan, surrounded by the crowd, stepped forward to perform an autopsy for Fang.Fang's soaking time in the water may have been a bit long, his whole body was swollen, his face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, his forehead and the corners of his mouth were abnormal, it was obvious that he had been injured before his death.

After Xia Yan inspected it carefully, he inspected it on the bank of the fish pond.Then he said to the villagers: "The deceased should have committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. The time was probably last night. One of the reasons is that this fish pond is very close to Uncle Lao Gen's house. If she calls for help, Lao Genshu and the others will surely be able Heard. Second, I checked the situation on the shore of the fish pond. Because it is close to the fish pond, the mud at the edge should be wetter than the outer one. If the deceased slips and falls, there will be slip marks on the shore, but there are no. Third , The body of the deceased was swollen because of being soaked in water. But this is midsummer, if the time is too long, even if soaked in water, the corpse will stink."

After listening to Xia Yan's analysis, everyone felt that this was the case.The Fang family must have been kicked out by Xu Nanyun yesterday, and now they have nowhere to go, so they chose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water.Although this Fang family is selfish and shameless to many households in the village, but seeing her end up like this now, everyone's heart feels like a ball of cotton.I can't say it's sad or uncomfortable, but it's always a bit of a sigh.

Even the people in the village are like this, Qiuhuai and Xu Nanyun, who are Fang's close relatives, hate Fang's deeply, but now they see Fang's body swollen, lying silently on the bank of the fish pond, his face pale, and both of them are worried. Indescribably uncomfortable.After all, the Fang family was also their close relative, how could anyone accept her sudden death like this?
Qiu Huai knelt down in front of Fang, her eyes had no tears but deep pain.At this moment, the quiet face was slightly moved, and his face was full of sadness.

Xu Nanyun was not much better than Qiu Huai. He looked at the middle-aged woman who was lying on the edge of the pond and had lost her breath in disbelief. The scenes in his eyes were Fang's laughter and cursing. Never expected that such a vibrant Fang family would end up being so peaceful one day.Before he knew it, his old eyes were filled with tears.In the blink of an eye, it will fall.

Although Xu Nanyun hated Fang Shi, he even felt that Fang Shi had ruined his life and Qiu Huai's life.But after all, they have been husband and wife for dozens of years, and seeing Fang's death now, how can it be possible that they don't feel uncomfortable?
