Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

"To take care of the funeral affairs."

Yu Dejin repeated the sound.

Yu Qiutang had no choice but to hold him back, "Don't be anxious, there are people at home, we have to wait for my fourth aunt to come and see how to settle them."

"Oh, let's take a look."

Yu Dejin was in a trance.

Yu Qiutang knew that he received the news suddenly and was a little confused for a moment, but he did not blame him.

As he was speaking, Yu Qiutang, with his sharp eyes, saw Wang Xiaoqin coming in from the hospital entrance. She was in a hurry, and her bright red cotton jacket was particularly eye-catching.

There was a man following behind him, whom Yu Qiutang did not recognize.

When they came in, they soon saw the father and son. Wang Xiaoqin had a complicated expression and asked, "Where are they?"

Yu Qiutang looked at his father.

After he arrived, he kept comforting his father and didn't have time to go over to see him.

“Why are people like this?”

Yu Dejin stared at Wang Xiaoqin.

"Why are you asking me? I also want to know why that old ghost hurt me like this. How has our Wang family treated him badly? He eats our food, wears our clothes, and I even gave him a son. What else is there for him to figure out?"

The man behind him was also very indignant when he heard this.

Yu Qiutang noticed that this man was somewhat similar to Wang Xiaoqin and was probably his brother.

Yu Qiutang was most unfamiliar with his fourth aunt Wang Xiaoqin.

Among his family relatives, there were a few people he was not really familiar with.

One is my uncle and aunt.

Because they were not in Rongcheng for a long time but lived in the provincial capital, Yu Qiutang met them no more than ten times as far as he could remember.

Many times they come back in a hurry and leave in a hurry.

As a result, Yu Qiutang had no idea what was going on.

Even if he met these two relatives face to face on the street, he might not recognize them.

The second is my uncle-in-law.

My uncle-in-law has a bad temper and a bad relationship with my aunt. He basically doesn't participate in things here. Every time my aunt comes back, she is alone.

Suo Yu Qiutang was not only unfamiliar with his uncle-in-law, he didn't even know his name.

Then there was Second Aunt. He only remembered that Second Aunt was a very nice person, but he was not familiar with the others, even Second Uncle, whom he was not very familiar with at first.

The only one left is this Fourth Aunt.

It was the same in my previous life. We only met a few times, so we were not very familiar with each other. I only saw him once when I came back in this life, and this is the second time.

The last time I watched her, I felt that she seemed to have a smile on her face, but behind the smile, she must be very indifferent and heartless, without any emotion in her heart.

And now, with the death of her fourth uncle, she has completely let herself go, no longer pretending at all, and directly exposed her true self.

When Yu Dejin heard Wang Xiaoqin's complaints, he didn't say anything for a while and just looked at Wang Xiaoqin quietly.

"What are you looking at? Take us to see the body."

Wang Xiaoqin felt frightened by Yu Dejin's gaze, and the man behind her became impatient and shouted at her.

Yu Qiutang took half a step forward and looked at the man coldly.

"What do you want to do?"

When Yu Qiutang's eyes turn cold, they are actually quite scary.

The main reason is that he inherited his father's triangular eyes.

This kind of look doesn't show anything in normal times, but once angry, it will immediately become a triangular shape, appearing particularly fierce.

In addition, Yu Qiutang was tall and strong, more than 1.8 meters in height, and had a fierce aura developed from long-term hunting of wild animals. When he learned the news of his fourth uncle's death today, the annoyance and complexity in his heart, as well as the impatience to comfort his father, were all shown on his face.

It's really hard to look at.

Yu Qiutang took another half step forward and swore that if this man dared to say another word, he would make him lie down on the spot.

Fuck!
It is not difficult to understand why Fourth Uncle drank the medicine. Even before he was buried, the people of the Wang family were like this.

It can be seen what kind of life he leads at home on a daily basis.

Just as Yu Qiujiang said, Fourth Uncle was originally a gentle person, and in such a family, he naturally suffered enough grievances.

He suddenly remembered that he and Wang Ruixiang seemed to be about the same age, and his fourth uncle probably waited until his son reached adulthood before choosing the path of no return.

Unfortunately, he is no longer alive and no one knows where his son has gone.

Moreover, Yu Qiutang even worried that with Wang Ruixiang's horrible look, he might still care about his father's death.

The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and the coldness in his body became more and more severe.

Even Yu Dejin, who was standing nearby, felt it and subconsciously grabbed Yu Qiutang's arm.

"Come on, follow me."

Pass through the corridor and go through a narrow passage that is just big enough for a transport cart to pass through.

Because there is no sunshine here, the snow on the ground has not melted, and it makes a crunching sound when you walk on it.

Every sound seemed to touch everyone's heart.

Yu Qiutang subconsciously looked up at the sky that was surrounded by the high walls of the hospital. Outside the wall were tall catalpa trees that blocked out the sun and made the already narrow light even darker.

Catalpa tree.

Yu Qiutang sighed.

There used to be a catalpa tree in front of his house, which was planted by his mother. One summer thunderstorm occurred and the catalpa tree was struck by lightning and split into two pieces.

"It's right in front."

His father's words woke Yu Qiutang from his trance. He looked forward and saw the morgue at the end of the alley.

When he reached the door, he was about to follow in, but was stopped outside by his father.

"You'll get married when you're older, why are you coming in here?"

Oh, it’s to prevent white evil.

Yu Qiutang nodded, "Then I'll wait for you outside."

Wang Xiaoqin took out a mask and put it on, then she entered the morgue with Yu Dejin and her brother.

At first there was just silence.

After dozens of seconds, Yu Qiutang heard Wang Xiaoqin cursing from inside!

"Yu Dehuo, you bastard, you want to kill me, how can you be so heartless? How have I wronged you that you are giving me this kind of eye drops!

Get up, what are you pretending to be doing lying here?

Get up and explain it to me clearly.

If you want to die, why don't you die far away? Why do you have to die at home? Are you doing this on purpose? Do you just want people to see how much injustice you have suffered at home?

Yes, you got what you wanted.

You are famous now.

I also benefited from your help. Now I am the most vicious woman in Wangjiazhuang. People are talking about me. Look at that Wang Xiaoqin, she forced her man to death. How cruel she is.

You!! I will strangle you to death, strangle you to death!! "

Then there was a tug of war. Yu Qiutang suppressed the urge to go in. He only heard his father patiently persuading him at the beginning, and his voice gradually became louder.

"Xiaoqin, the incident has already happened. The fourth brother is gone. What's the point of saying these things? Let's see how to bring him back and bury him in peace as soon as possible."

"Take him back? I want to take him back?" Wang Xiaoqin seemed to have heard something out of the ordinary. "Why should I take him back?"

Yu Dejin was a little confused, "This is your man, and now he's gone, you have to take him back and bury him, you can't just leave him in the morgue forever."

"Whoever wants to pull him can do it. I don't care anyway. If he died a normal death, it would be fine. I would definitely give him a grand funeral. But now he's in such a horrible state, I can't do anything about it."

"What are you saying? Don't be angry. If you don't care, will I stay here forever?"

"I can't control it anyway."

As Wang Xiaoqin spoke, she suddenly opened the door and prepared to leave with the brother.

Yu Dejin subconsciously reached out to grab him, but the brother blocked his way and pushed the defenseless Yu Dejin directly to the door.

The upper body was just exposed outside the door, while the lower body was still inside the morgue.

"I've already said that I don't care, so why are you still arguing about it? Are you guys with the surname Yu going to commit suicide and even want to bury our Wang family's grave...ah!"

The man was still pointing at Yu Dejin and said that he had not been prepared for Yu Qiutang at all. What man with blood in his veins could stand by and watch his father being hurt?

Besides, Yu Qiutang had disliked him for a long time.

Without saying much, he kicked the man to the ground, then pushed away Wang Xiaoqin who came to help, stepped on the man, and asked Wang Xiaoqin, "Why did my fourth uncle drink medicine?"

"Yu Qiutang, this is outrageous! How dare you, a young man, attack me!!"

Yu Qiutang looked at her coldly, "You don't know?"

Wang Xiaoqin was about to scold when Yu Qiutang suddenly exerted force with his foot. The person he stepped on immediately grimaced and started to curse, but Yu Qiutang didn't tolerate it. He just kicked the person in the mouth with his heel, breaking his lip on the spot.

"What do you want?"

Wang Xiaoqin was also a little scared.

Just as Yu Qiutang was not familiar with her, she was naturally not familiar with Yu Qiutang. She used to think that this nephew was taciturn, but it seemed that he had been in the spotlight recently.

But I didn't expect that he had such a ruthless side.

"We should be asking you what you want to do. Is this person yours? No matter what he was like when he was alive, he is dead now. You, as his wife and son, have not come for a long time, and now that you are here, you are like this. Are your hearts made of stone?"

"Whether we care or not is also our family's business...you, why do you care about us?"

"See if I can help. The person lying here is my fourth uncle. I only know that he was a living person, but he suddenly drank medicine. You said there was no reason in your family. Ask if anyone believes it?"

Wang Xiaoqin glanced at the brothers on the ground, then at Yu Qiutang's indifferent expression. She knew that it would not work if she tried to use force today, so she softened her tone and said, "Qiutang, let your uncle go first, let him get up, and then we can talk slowly."

Yu Qiutang looked down at the man at his feet and said, "When you get up, stand still by the side. If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart."

Then he moved his feet away and said, "Go away."

The man stood up angrily, his lips moved several times, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.

Stand obediently behind Wang Xiaoqin.

He had tried to resist when Yu Qiutang stepped on him just now, but he had no strength at all. It was as if an elephant's hoof was stepping on him, leaving him no room for resistance.

He already knew that this young man was not easy to deal with, so he shouldn't confront him head-on easily.

"Qiu Tang, I was just anxious and said that in anger. Tell me, can we just ignore our family members? I'm going to discuss this with the clan when I go back. If the clan doesn't agree, I can't bury your uncle in our Wang family's ancestral tomb, right?"

Yu Qiutang frowned.

Although this is unacceptable, it is indeed the truth.

Different villages here have different methods of burying people.

In their village, they can bury the bodies in their own fields or in the mass graves. And since Wang Xiaoqin said so, it is likely that in their village, the bodies are buried according to the family.

If there is no call from the most influential person in the tribe, it would be impossible to bury it.

This kind of patriarchal system was still quite popular in the 1980s and 1990s.

Even two thousand years later, there are still many places that maintain family customs.

The people in the tribe are essentially subject to two sets of laws.

The country’s laws are one set, and the family’s rules are another set.

In many cases, because the law cannot be so detailed, it is the rules of the clan that play a stabilizing role.

If we talk about backwardness, it is definitely the case.

But no one can suddenly change this situation.

"How long will it take you to discuss this?"

"As soon as possible, as soon as possible," if there weren't four people right next to them, Wang Xiaoqin would even have to put on a smile.

Yu Qiutang noticed the changes in her facial muscles and sighed inwardly.

"Okay, by this time tomorrow, if you still don't pull them in, we'll pull them back."

"Sure, sure, you can...oh, we'll definitely decide that in advance."

Wang Xiaoqin failed to suppress her momentary relaxation, which stimulated Yu Qiutang again.

He looked at the two people in front of him, and once again felt a surge of sympathy for his fourth uncle.

This man really lives in such a humble way.

"Then... we'll be leaving first. Brother, Qiu Tang, I'll trouble you to take care of things here."

After Wang Xiaoqin finished speaking, she seemed to be worried about being held back, so she pulled her brother and ran away.

After their footsteps faded away, Yu Qiutang didn't care whether it was Bai Sha or not and went into the morgue.

Looking at Fourth Uncle's uncovered body, his dark and blue face, he recalled his pale face during the buffet at their home and sighed softly.

It's all fate.

In this era, how many people have been defeated by fate, and Fourth Uncle is just one of them.

"Dad, call the police. He died from taking drugs. We can't just take him back."

In fact, this is just a process. The process in this era is quite simple. Basically, you just come over there and take a look, and that's it.

At this time, the village does not need to apply for any death certificate. If there is no population check, often a person has been dead for a long time and it may not be clear.

No one would associate drinking drugs with murder or anything like that.

After all, every now and then, someone would take medicine, some would be saved and some would not, and if they checked everyone, they would be too busy to keep up.

Yu Qiutang's idea of ​​calling the police was simple. He just wanted to pave the way for bringing his fourth uncle back home.

Perhaps his father still had certain expectations, but Yu Qiutang had already seen through Wang Xiaoqin clearly. They had no intention of letting Fourth Uncle go back at all. They just agreed because of his "tyrannical power".

I guess they won't contact us again after they go back.

If you force us to notify them, they will make excuses for you.

Even if he finally brought his fourth uncle home with great reluctance, he would not be given the proper respect.

Yu Qiutang felt that it was really miserable for a person to suffer all kinds of injustices in life and be discriminated against after death.

It would be even more difficult to accept if this person was his uncle.

He walked to the bedside and covered Yu Dehuo with a white sheet, muttering to himself, "Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Uncle. I will take you home." (End of this chapter)
