"Li Laosì immediately called two villagers to look for people in the nearby forest.As a result, just as they stepped into the woods, the villagers suddenly cried out in alarm."Uncle Zhao!"The birds at...Elder Master Chen and Chen Chuan were both red-eyed, their chests heaving violently.

Chen Laoda, the old master, slapped the bed frame with a resounding smack. "That's it!"

Chen Chuan also replied: "Wearing hemp and filial attire, carrying the coffin to the funeral, scattering gold on the mourning beach!"

The three sisters-in-law of the Chen family, because they had to dress up properly, came a little late, and by then everything was already decided.

Mrs. Chen was a kind woman by nature, usually eating vegetarian meals and chanting Buddhist scriptures. At this time, she only turned her rosary beads, without a single idea in mind.

Madam Chen, the second wife, was shrewd and ruthless. This time, she bravely took the lead and managed to borrow a dozen guards from her family home.

Chen Chuan's wife was already furious with hatred for her son.

Hearing that her son was to be buried in front of the Li family's gate, all her pain seemed to find an outlet. At that moment, she called over everyone on the back street.

Back then, Old General Chen was also a renowned military hero. He had been living near here with his loyal soldiers for many years, relying on the Chen family for sustenance.

Many had grandchildren, and some even served as guards under the three old masters of the Chen family.

Now I hear the Chen family has been bullied, the young master died tragically, and the old matriarch, heartbroken, has also passed away.

The veterans were all resentful, and there was a bit of opportunism in their desire to curry favor with the master.

Everyone found a task at hand and followed behind the funeral procession.

Xindu used to be just a prefecture city, but after the capital was moved here, suddenly tens of thousands of people crowded in. It was so packed that you could barely turn around without stepping on someone's feet.

The Chen family's son died under suspicious circumstances, drawing significant public attention.

Today, another tall spirit banner was erected in front of the door. It couldn't help but prompt people to ask more questions.

As a result, everyone frowned and shook their heads in response to the question.

The elderly man, due to his age, had already been sent black hair by Madam Bai. Now, overwhelmed with sadness, he has gone with his grandson as well.

It's a terrible tragedy!

Then, the Chen family carried the coffin out of the house, and many people stood by the roadside to see them off. Rarely did anyone say anything idle.

Even if there is traffic congestion on the road, they will automatically and spontaneously give way to funeral processions.

But when the Chen family's funeral procession left the city gate, they didn't go to the potter's field or up into the mountains. Instead, they headed straight for Broken Gold Beach!

Everyone was surprised and could no longer contain themselves, speculating wildly.

"What does this mean, Chen Family You look so intimidating and scary."

"I don't know! Taking a coffin to Shating Beach doesn't seem like a good thing at all."

"Wouldn't that be seeking revenge"

"Seeking revenge doesn't mean dragging a coffin along. I think I want to disgust the Li family and vent my anger, that's truly what matters."

"Possible! I heard that the Chen family's son was killed by the Li family, so this is probably out of anger."

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

"Wait for me a moment, let's go together!"

Everyone was talking, none of them willing to miss out on the excitement, and they trailed behind from afar.

In the midst of the bustling crowd, Kongs' wife clutched her basket tightly, listening intently, her eyes darting about.

This morning, most of the people in Ercun went to the workshop to work. The remaining women were busy washing clothes and cooking for Lao He and the others.

She had breakfast, then thought of her husband still not returning home from his military camp by the river. With nothing to do, she decided to go into town for a stroll.

As soon as I reached the city gate, I encountered this incident.

She hesitated for a moment, then took the shortcut and ran back to Ercun as fast as she could.

Four old soldiers in thick sheepskin coats and cotton hats were gossiping while leaning on their canes in the sun.

Next to the bridge, a tall wooden railing stood; that was their post.

To enter both Ercun and Xincun, one must cross the bridge. They guard the wooden fence well, thus ensuring peace for both villages.

Remembering last night when Lao Hei and the others talked about their harvest on this trip, a one-eared veteran was quite envious.

"Let me ask Lao Hei, when they need more hands, I'll go out with them. "

"This one trip earned enough money to afford a dowry, much more than our wages."

The oldest veteran beside him couldn't help but kick him on the butt and laugh, "Ungrateful dog! If anyone else heard you, they'd think you had something against your master!"

Back then, in the army, we slept with a sword clutched in our hands. A month's pay was only five hundred mon.

“Now, with a full belly and warm clothes on, just standing here enjoying the sun and chatting with others all day earns you thirty cents. It’s like winning the lottery!”

"You see, our lives are envied by so many people." Another old soldier also smoothed his collar and said: "Lao Hei and the others earn money, but it's truly hard work.

This time it's only forty days, going up the mountain in heavy snow and doing such a difficult job as retrieving bones, it's really not easy.

The old soldier who had lost his ears, didn't get angry even when he was kicked and scolded. He smiled and scratched the back of his head, "I'm just saying, if I were really asked to leave the village, to leave the warm kang bed, I wouldn't be willing."

Everyone laughed, having experienced the dangers of the battlefield and the hardships of military life, they now cherished these peaceful days even more!

A veteran soldier had sharp eyesight. From afar, he saw people on the official road and shielded his eyes with his hand, peering out and saying, “Oh, it looks like someone is having a funeral.”

Several others also wanted to see the commotion. Just as Madam Kong ran over from the path, she tripped and fell near them, clutching her stomach and rolling around on the ground, wailing in pain.

"Help! My stomach hurts so bad, I'm in pain! Help!"

Several veterans were startled and recognized them as villagers. They immediately rushed forward to check on them.

"What's wrong Did you run too fast"

"Should I go to the village and invite Zhang, the divine doctor"

As he spoke, an old soldier was about to run into the village.

But Kong's wife tugged at his trousers and cried out loudly.

"I think I'm pregnant, my stomach hurts, I'm going to miscarry. Quickly find a door panel and carry me over there!"

Several veterans were frightened, for children's safety could not be compromised.

They rushed to the nearest yard, regardless of whether anyone was home, removed the door panels, and carried the young daughter-in-law toward the new village.

Amidst the bustle, several veterans didn't even notice the funeral procession on the official road.

Meanwhile, Kong's wife clutched her belly, feigning pain while secretly glancing at the funeral procession turning onto the bridge. A triumphant smirk played on her lips...

The Chen family carried the coffin, walking and scattering paper money along the way.

At first glance, I thought someone was blocking the way because of the wooden railing at the bridge head.

After the results were posted, there was no one!

The Chen family wouldn't waste any time. They hoisted the wooden fence aside and rushed inside.

For a time, there were cries and shouts, making a terrible racket.

The workshop is located behind the Second Village, a bit far from the roadside. However, Lao Hei and the others' row houses are very close to the road.

Last night everyone was drunk, so naturally they wanted to sleep in a little longer this morning and stay warm in their beds.

After being woken up by the need to urinate, everyone got up and ran to the latrine.

Old Hei heard something amiss outside, so he brought everyone to open the door. They were all stunned by what they saw.

Some people even rubbed their eyes, thinking they were still dreaming…
