Farmer's Manor Fish and Rice Fragrance

Chapter 118
"..." Basang couldn't breathe, rolled his eyes and collapsed into Ningshi's arms.

"Grandma!" Ningshi and Qianxi shouted in unison.

Ningshi calmed down very quickly, picked up Basang, and hurried to the courtyard.Qian Xi wanted to follow closely behind, but she came back to her senses and turned to Qiu Ling, "Qiu Ling, are you sure, Qiong Xue committed suicide? Did she die?"

"That's what people say, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I don't dare to guarantee it." Qiu Ling curled her lips.

Qian Xi's heart was in a mess, didn't Chi Ren follow her back?Aren't you trying to appease Qiongxue these days?How could such a thing happen again?Thinking back to Qiongxue's innocent and sweet smile that day, and that infatuated look towards Chiren, she suddenly felt her chest... hurt so much.She couldn't believe that Qiongxue was really gone.Do not believe.

When she walked back to the yard in a daze, Basang had already woken up and rushed out of the house like crazy, "Qiong Xue! It must be that stinky bitch Qiuling spreading rumors, yes, it must be, we Chiren are there, such things will not happen!"

While Basang kept encouraging himself, he directed Ningshi tremblingly.Ningshi was also busy pushing out the simple carriage from the firewood room and getting ready quickly.

Qianxi knew that she couldn't go to the fish pond this time, so she tried her best to move the things on the horse's back, led the horse back to the shed, and stayed with Basang again, helping and comforting her at the same time. "Grandma, don't worry. Suicide doesn't necessarily mean death. Things are getting more and more exaggerated. Let's go to my aunt's house first."

Basang's expression was unrecognizable, and his lips were trembling, "Qiuzhu only has two daughters, Qiongxue and Jimei, this child will not be so stupid, if something happens to Qiongxue...Qiuzhu How can I still live..."

"Grandma, get in the carriage." Ningshi helped Basang into the carriage.At this time, Ning Shi, who had always been as calm as water, also had panic and pain on his face. After all, he was his own cousin, so how could all things be empty.

Qianxi stopped talking nonsense and hurried into the car. Now her task is to comfort Basang and take care of her emotions.

Ning Shi drove the carriage, and the carriage quickly bumped up the mountain road.

Basang kept his face sullen, his eyes wide open, his fingers clenched tightly, and he stopped talking, just out of breath.

Qianxi's heart was also twisted into a ball, and she kept praying in her heart, don't really die, she must be saved, how could such an innocent little girl disappear in smoke?But what is going on, they don't know, only when they get to the place, can they know.

Hurrying quickly, driving like lightning, finally arrived at Xinhua Village after an hour and a half.

As soon as the car entered the village, there were many villagers watching from a distance, pointing their hands, with various expressions of panic and regret. Qianxi saw this scene from the curtain of the car, and her heart thumped again. It seemed that it might be true. It's bad luck.

Not daring to say more, she hurriedly put down the car curtain.

Ningshi made two turns in the village, and finally found Qiuzhu's home.It's not hard to find, ten meters from the door of the house, there are dots of people standing there.

After the carriage stopped, Basang tremblingly got out of the carriage with Qianxi's support, ignoring the surrounding crowd, she shouted and rushed towards the door: "Qiongxue! My child!"

Qianxi and Ningshi rushed in quickly.

Inside the door was another group of people. Qianxi didn't know anyone, and followed Basang to the door. Before he got inside, he was stopped suddenly. Basang raised his head, feeling anxious and heartbroken. I couldn't recognize who this person was, but I probably knew it was my brother-in-law's family, and I saw that person said angrily, "Qiongxue was killed by your family! How dare you come!"

"..." Basang froze on the spot, his eyes widened, and then widened again, his eyes couldn't focus for a long time, he took a deep breath, and asked with a sob, "Qionxue...really...dead?"

The man's tears flowed down, then he turned his head and retracted his hands, not stopping them anymore.

Basang staggered into the door, followed by Qianxi and Ningshi.

Then, they finally saw everything inside the house.

On the floor of the house, Qiu Zhu was sitting slumped and crying, half dead, Chi Ren was kneeling beside the bed with a numb face, Ji Mei was crying beside the bed, and Qiongxue was lying quietly on the bed.

The room fell silent.

Qiongxue's face was the same as before, cute and sweet, but her face was a little pale.She closed her eyes tightly, as if she was just asleep, a very deep sleep.Her body was covered with a bright red quilt, and her small body was inside, like a piece of paper.In an environment where everyone was different, she just lay peacefully like that, so uncoordinated.

Qianxi tried her best to control her emotions, she trembled and closed her eyes, and when she raised her eyelids again, tears welled up.

Really seeing it all, can no longer be a fluke.She was 1 incredible and puzzled.

Basang moved to the side of the bed, stroking the quilt with trembling hands, she looked at Qiongxue's face, her eyes widened, and she called hoarsely: "Qionxue...Qionxue...children, wake up... ..."

"Auntie? Auntie!" Jimei threw herself into Basang's arms, crying out of breath, "Auntie, Sister is not dead, right? Sister will not die."

Basang burst into tears, hugged Jimei, turned his head and asked Chiren in tears, "What's going on? What happened, Chiren, how did this happen, how did this happen?"

Chiren sat upright, motionless, as if he had been dumbfounded.

Qianxi saw endless sadness in his eyes.She knew that he would never be that glib, idle Chi Ren again.

In the clan, when an unmarried girl dies young, the funeral is relatively simple and secret. After the condolences, the relatives and neighbors also leave one after another, leaving only close relatives to deal with the funeral.

It was rumored by outsiders that Qiongxue committed suicide in order to resist the marriage custom, so the clan members felt incredible, not to mention despising their family on the surface, but they still whispered behind the scenes.The patriarch was even more displeased with this, and Nian came over to take a look at the loss of his daughter in their family.Because Ningshi is a living Buddha, he asked Ningshi to chant sutras for Qiongxue.

The burial methods of the tribe are divided into burial, water burial, and creepy sky burial, also known as bird burial, which is to be eaten by vultures.The tribe believes in Buddhism. Buddhism believes that the human body is only a container for the soul and there is no need to keep it. Therefore, people need to use sky burial to let the soul of the deceased ascend to heaven smoothly.

At first they discussed giving Qiongxue a sky burial, which is also the most common burial in the clan, but when Qianxi learned about the sky burial from Ningshi, although she respected the clan customs, she still couldn't accept it. The pain was unbearable, so she quietly asked Ningshi if she could be buried in water. If they didn't agree, she couldn't participate and had to leave early.
