When Tangcai Nong heard the word 'death' from the doctor's mouth, he was so stimulated that he broke down completely. A man who was not young sat on the ground and cried, tears and snot pouring over his face and said sadly.

The people around expressed their regrets. The shop friends who had a good relationship with the soup vegetable farmer on weekdays stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to express their condolences. Some bold and careful women said directly, "Brother Tang, this big sister Everyone is gone, but I have to find a way to see her off for the last time, don't let the big girl feel uncomfortable when she leaves."

The idea of ​​resting in the ground is valid no matter what era it is in. It is a deep-rooted event. For the dead and their families, there are many things that need to be dealt with.

For the dead person, the first thing the family members have to do is to help him/her wash the body, put on clean clothes, clean the hair, face and so on, so that the dead person will not be disgraceful and will be looked down upon by others. joke.

There is a custom in the town that when a man and a woman get married, when the woman's parents help their daughter prepare the wedding dress, they will also prepare funeral clothes, mourning shoes and other things. Life can be longer.

Not long after, Tangcai Nong's mother heard the news and rushed over. When she saw her dead daughter-in-law, she hugged the dead body and cried, "What did I do in my previous life, Liu, my good daughter-in-law! , you just leave as you say, how can you live in the future if you let your mother. My mother's big fat grandson, oh my god, you don't have eyesight, don't leave me a way to survive, I can't live through this day, still How do you go on?"

According to the regulations of the town's yamen, if a person under the age of [-] dies in a strange way, he must be seen by a special doctor and a foreman, and the reason should be clearly written on the death certificate. The family can continue to arrange funeral affairs only if they are kept on record.

The old man looked seriously at the pale and mysterious face of the soup farmer's daughter-in-law, and said to himself, "Why does this symptom look a bit like poisoning?"

Afterwards, the old Langzhong took out the silver needle from the small package he carried with him, and stabbed it into the throat of Tangcai Farmer's Wife. When he pulled it out, he saw that the silver needle hadn't turned black. Maybe, I can't explain it."

The doctor’s method of checking whether a person is poisoned is very simple. Usually, the throat is first stabbed with a silver needle, and then the deceased’s clothes will be stripped to examine the body. According to whether the silver needle is black and whether there are any black spots on the body, it is judged whether the person is poisoned or not. poisoned.

The old man understood the sadness of the old woman whose daughter-in-law died, but he still had to ask the procedure, "Old lady, can I trouble you to go into the house and take a closer look at your daughter-in-law to see if she has any signs of illness?" black and blue."

If the person who died was a man, the old man could do the inspection himself, but the person who died was a woman. From the point of view of incompatibility between men and women, he has no right to inspect a woman's body, otherwise the voice of speech will make him Life is worse than death.

Mrs. Tang was already very dissatisfied with the old doctor's practice of stabbing his daughter-in-law's throat with acupuncture, and had already developed a lot of prejudice against the old doctor.

Now the old doctor dared to let her do this, the angry old lady Tang gave the old doctor a hard look, took his words as fart, and let it go after listening to it, and didn't pay attention to what the old doctor said.
