Chapter 207 Cause of Death
After the old Zhangtou finished speaking, he greeted the two people standing respectfully on both sides and said, "Do it."

Then, regardless of the cursing from the Li family behind them, the three of them changed into a new set of clothes for Mr. Li.

This set of clothes was just dug out from Mr. Li’s house by an aunt. It should have been made a long time ago. The old people in the countryside have this habit. When the old people are old, they will prepare old clothes for themselves in advance. Some people even beat out the coffins in advance and put them in the main room.

The three of them swayed Mr. Li's body, and it was easy to find that one of Mr. Li's legs was broken, and he was as thin as a stick, which could be seen when he took off his thick clothes.

Old Zhang looked at all this with a frown, but he didn't say anything until he put on the old clothes for Mr. Li and arranged his body. Then he turned his head and looked at the three of the Li family fiercely. Said: "Now let's start the funeral and let the old man rest in peace. The three of you are his relatives, hurry up and prepare."

In rural areas, funerals are held for the elderly, and their children and grandchildren are required to wear sackcloth and filial piety for him.

Afterwards, the old Zhang Tou presided over and asked several young men to carry Mr. Li, and the three members of the Li family wept in the back, and then everyone followed behind to the cemetery in the village.

When they arrived at the place, Lao Zhangtou asked Li Hongwei and Li Xianhao to dig the ground with pickaxes, trying to dig out a pit where people could be buried. Li Hongwei's daughter-in-law asked Li Hongwei to kneel in front of the old man and continued to cry.

This tormented several members of the Li family. First, Li Hongwei and Li Xianhao used pickaxes to dig the ground. Once the pickaxe went down, a small hole could be made. If you want to dig a hole that can bury people, don’t even think about it in a day. Although they wore a lot of clothes when they came out, they didn't wear gloves on their hands. How could anyone wear hemp and filial piety and wear gloves?So they are suffering now, their hands are so cold that they can't turn back, and they dare not stop, everyone is looking at them, it is unfilial to stop.

The person kneeling on the ground is not much better, the ground is icy cold, she has knelt on the ground for a long time, the cold air on the ground has already frozen her knees like needles, she can't do anything Standing up in front of so many people, she was always changing her posture, often changing her center of gravity, and changing from sitting to kneeling, but it still made her move around like an ant on a hot pot.

I looked at it and understood the painstaking efforts of old Zhangtou. He is also treating these three people.

Later, when the hands of the Li family's father and son were frozen, red and swollen, and Li's daughter-in-law couldn't move her kneeling legs, Lao Zhangtou said to let them go and do it with Mr. Li. Final farewell.Then I found a few young and strong people, and quickly dug out a hole. It was not too big, and it was impossible to put people in it. At this time, old man Zhang told them to stop.

I am very surprised, such a small pit, how to bury people.Chen Hao happened to be standing next to me, saw the doubts on my face, and whispered to me that burials are no longer practiced in rural areas, people are cremated, and the ashes are buried.Only then did I know what was going on, it was a custom in every place.

Afterwards, we carried Sanye Li back to Lao Li's house with the army, and Lao Zhangtou entered the house and asked Li Xianhao and the three of them to watch each other.

Then they asked Li Sanye one by one how he died.

At first, the three of them insisted that they died of old age, but the answer to the question why Mr. Li's leg was broken by the old man was not uniform.

Li Xianhao said that he accidentally fell and fell, Li Hongwei said that he fell from the kang, and Li Hongwei's daughter-in-law directly said that it was their family's business and no one else should care.

In the end, Lao Zhangtou used some methods, which were threats and temptations. In the end, Li Xianhao was too young to stand up and finally recruited.

"Grandpa's leg really broke, but I accidentally pushed him and broke it, but you have to believe me, I was really careless." Li Xianhao covered his head with his hands in pain, squatting on the ground.

"Then tell me, why did you push him? He is your grandfather, and he loves you the most in normal times." Lao Zhangtou said with a gloomy face.

"That's right... this summer, after Li Peng and I were caught stealing water, grandpa took me home, but when we got home, he began to teach me shamelessly. I... I I can't take it anymore, I'm already such a big person, he still scolded me like a child, and my grandpa knew about it when I went to steal the water, but he didn't say anything against it at that time, and I was arrested After he stopped, he started to scold me, saying that I was nothing, that someone would find me stealing water in the end, and that I had lost his face. I was very angry at the time, when he wanted to hit me with a cane, I just messed with him, he, he fell to the ground, hugging his leg and complaining that his leg hurts, I saw his leg was twisted abnormally at that time, grandpa's leg was broken because I pushed it." Li Xianhao He said in pain, looking at him like that, this matter has tortured him for a long time, but now that he has spoken out, he feels more relaxed.

I was a little funny when I heard it from the side. This is really a nest of snakes and rats. Both grandpa and grandson are not good cakes. Grandpa doesn’t care when his grandson starts to do bad things. Water can be caught', this character is really not good.And the grandson is also a stick, and he can't stand it after a few words from his grandfather. His self-esteem is strong enough. Then why did he cry when he was caught stealing water and was beaten up? Why did the self-esteem suddenly disappear? My grandfather beat me, but I still dare to fight back. This is because my family education is not good.So it is not entirely Li Xianhao's responsibility to look at it this way. The elder didn't educate him well at first, which caused him to be incompetent outside, but dared to beat his father and scold his mother at home.

"Then later, it's impossible for Mr. Li to go because of the broken leg?" Old Zhangtou continued to ask, the broken leg is not a serious illness, just connect it, so there must be other reasons .

"Grandpa's leg was broken, so I was scared, so I called my mom and dad into the house, and we carried grandpa to the kang together, and grandpa asked me to go to the village head and ask him to set his bone, because the village Long is a doctor.

When I came out and wanted to ask the village head, my mother stopped me. My mother didn't agree to go to the village head, saying that she just had a quarrel with him, and now she went to ask him again. Is someone buried, so she won't go, and won't let me and my dad go.My mother said that grandpa didn't suffer from any serious illness, didn't he just have a broken leg? If it's right, after a while, he will heal on his own.

She asked me to go out for a walk, and when I came back, she told my grandfather that the village head would not come.At that time, my grandfather had a long face and was very upset, but he had no choice but to ask my dad to straighten his legs for him, then fixed him outside with two sticks, and lay on the bed like that I have raised it. "Li Xianhao had a regretful expression on his face. He probably regretted listening to his mother. For the sake of face, he even gave up the best time for treatment, and just dealt with it hastily by himself.

I thought to myself from the side, it’s okay, and I also know that I feel a little ashamed, but this is really not the time. When my relatives are hurt, it’s really bad to take my own face into consideration.

But she was also right, that is, a broken leg is really not a serious illness. According to her, it is not impossible, but Li Sanye is old, and his calcium absorption is not good, and his physique is relatively weak. So his legs are not easy to grow well.

"Let's go on, why, the legs haven't grown well." Old Zhang seemed to be wondering about this in his heart, why it had been several months, and the legs hadn't grown well yet.

"Grandpa thinks it hurts, and he hasn't taken painkillers at home, so he always moves, and when his bones are dislocated again, he hurts even more, so for a while, he always groaned at home. And his leg was broken, so he couldn't go by himself. When I go to the bathroom, my dad and I have to take care of him. It’s been a good day or two, and it’s been nearly a month. He’s still moaning and crying in pain on the kang. My dad and I get a little annoyed. In time, grandpa pissed into his trouser pocket, and his mother had to wash him. Grandpa didn't stop, and when it came to this time, he scolded us for being unfilial, and my mother didn't like to serve him, saying that he was lying on the kang every day like this I don’t exercise, and I don’t need to eat so much, so I gave him one meal a day. My mother also said that he promised to hand over [-]% of the family’s paddy fields at that time. Now that the family is short of food, let him eat less. Eat some, just to save some food."

It is said that there are no filial sons in front of the long-term sickbed. Their family is a bloody example. My own son and grandson have been annoyed by serving them for two days. Now it's actually happening around me.Mr. Li was already old, and his wounds healed slowly. If he didn't have enough food, he couldn't keep up with his nutrition. No wonder he was skinny when he went.His son and grandson are really cruel.

But this can be regarded as Li Sanye's own fault, whoever made him start with a wrong heart.People say that what kind of parents are what kind of children are, and parents are the best teachers for children. If Li Sanye is not upright, do you still expect his children and grandchildren to be upright?
"Did your grandfather starve to death?" asked the old man.

"No, it was frozen to death. There was a heavy snowstorm yesterday, and we all forgot to add some firewood to grandpa's house. After the snow stopped this morning, we found out that grandpa... grandpa has already gone. Mom said this Don’t say anything, it’s best for a few people to know that Grandpa has gone, and then we’ll just bury Grandpa and it’s over, no one knows what’s going on here.”

"Then why don't you bury it secretly yourself, and you have to let a few people know about it." I really don't understand this point, since I'm afraid people will know, then don't let people know, they still lure people to the house.

"An old man in the family died, so he buried it secretly. Isn't that even more suspicious? My mother said it would be best if the village chief came. He and Grandpa didn't deal with each other. I could only be secretly happy when I found out. I definitely can’t look closely at Grandpa, so I just watched it on the wall that day. When the village chief passed by, he made my mother cry. As a result, the villagers didn’t come at the beginning, but he came in the afternoon, killing us by surprise. .”
