Chapter 105: Compared to the human heart, there is nothing to fear
When Fuan arrived with his group, the yard was already in motion.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Shitou's house is bare. Grandma Yao searched for a long time but couldn't find a complete chair.
Finally, I found a bamboo chair with one leg rotten in the firewood pile at the back.
The scorched yellow chair is a sign of the passage of time. You can tell at a glance which family has discarded it and picked it up by Xiao Shitou.
I finally found a usable one. I didn't care about it now. I padded a circle of straw on the chair. Where the legs were missing, I found a sturdy wooden stake to support the chair. It was barely usable.
Turning her head to look at Mrs. Luo who was motionless on the bed, Mrs. Yao shouted outside, "Quick, someone give me a hand and carry me to the chair.
You can’t walk on the bed.”
The people here are all women. Although they are usually fierce, they are very respectful of life and death. When they heard the medicine grandma shouting, they were a little scared and did not dare to step forward.
Seeing this, Wen Shu stood up and said, "I'll go."
Anyway, she had held Luo Pozi before, so there was nothing to be afraid of. What's more, what was there to be afraid of? Compared with human nature, it was nothing.
Maybe it was because she was about to die, but Wen Shu squatted down and picked up the unresponsive Mrs. Luo, who was much heavier than before.
There are also many people who are overwhelmed——
When she held Luo Pozi just now, she didn't feel as heavy as a ten-year-old child. But this time, when she held her in her arms, her first feeling was like a stone was pressing on her hands, heavy.
"Quick, put the straw mat under the chair"
Hearing the voice of the medicine lady outside calling him, Wenshu squatted down again, gathered his strength, and picked up the person in one go.
Grandma Luo's body seemed to have no support at all, her whole body was limp, and Wen Shu was about to fall down when she held her in her arms.
Seeing this, Jueyu immediately stepped forward and supported him in the middle. The two of them worked together to get the man out.
Everything was ready outside. As soon as they went out, Grandma Yao helped Grandma Luo sit on a chair.
Because there was a straw mat on the chair and a freshly woven straw mat under her feet, Mrs. Luo did not fall off the chair.
After finishing all this, Mrs. Luo shouted to the women in the yard who were watching the excitement:
"Hurry, go boil some water."
The daughters-in-law had already started to panic. When they heard the instructions from the medicine mother-in-law, they started to get busy without saying much.
Some were sweeping the floor, some were boiling water, some were going to report the news, and some of the strong ones picked up axes and went to the distant bamboo forest to cut some old bamboos.
Seeing everyone busy, Wenshu stood there, not knowing what to do for a moment.
At this time, Fuan also arrived with a group of people, led by a man who looked to be in his forties.
When he saw Wen Shu, he immediately came forward to greet her and said, "Greetings, Chief."
Wen Shu didn't have the heart to care about these things now. She waved to him and asked, wanting to confirm, "Are you from Sixth Uncle's house?"
The middle-aged man responded, "Yes, my master heard that something happened here and asked me to come over to help deal with the aftermath."
Thinking of how his master almost jumped up in excitement after hearing the news from Fu'an.
What did my master say at that time? "It's not something a girl can handle."
"We are not without men in the Du family. Why would we need a girl who hasn't even reached marriage age to attend the funeral? If people outside knew about this, we would be criticized and scolded."
Then he was asked to lead a group of people here.
Thinking of the instructions of the master at home, "Young Patriarch, leave this to us. These two grandparents and grandchildren were brought back to the Du family by our master, and we can't just stand by and watch."
Wen Shu saw people coming here one after another, and then looked at the women around her who were busying themselves, and realized that she would not be able to do anything if she continued to stay here.
After thinking for a while, he said to the man, "Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Then he pointed to the room and said, "The child is in there, you guys should be careful when the time comes."
As she was speaking, she saw Fuan standing behind her. Wen Shu called over and said, "Fuan!"
"Chief, what are your instructions?"
Fuan had just received a reward from the Sixth Master and was feeling very happy. When he heard the clan leader's voice, he immediately came over.
This is her rich man, so she has to serve him well. When there is a chance for lucrative work or errands, she will be called upon again.
"Xiao Shitou is in the house. You should take care of him these days," Wen Shu pointed inside the house.
It's just a matter of watching a little kid. Fu An patted his chest and promised, "Chief, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Wen Shu also wanted to stay longer, but it was already dark. "After this is done, you bring the child back.
As long as you do this well, you will definitely benefit from it."
"I am Fu'an working hard, please rest assured, Chief."
After saying goodbye to Grandma Yao, Wenshu took Jueyu and walked slowly towards the ancestral home.
On the way, we met several tribesmen heading that way. Some of them were holding vegetables, some were holding rice and flour, and those with better financial resources were even holding some meat and other things.
On the hill behind Xiao Shitou's house, the sound of felling wood could be heard...
Wenshu paused as she reached the river. The sound of flowing water could be heard, but the wailing cries in the distance could not be covered up.
far away……
First, the medicine lady said: "Hurry, the person is about to die"
Then the middle-aged man shouted, "Quick, let Xiao Shitou come out, come out and send the bride off."
Then I heard Little Stone crying——
Wen Shu stood on the bridge and turned to look at the house hidden in the valley behind her. There were flickering lights and people were busy working.
"Girl, this is..."
Jueyu was a little dazed. She had killed people and buried people before. She had long been numb to these things, but she had never experienced these things.
“Life is full of old age, sickness and death. When you come, there are people to welcome you, and when you go, there are people to see you off. This is what we all seek in life, to achieve perfection.”
Wen Shu sighed, withdrew her gaze and continued walking back.
"Oh……"
Jueyu shook her head, her mind like Dong Fei Dong. Although she didn't understand or experience these things, she rejected such scenes in her heart.
Turning around, I looked at the now bustling world at the foot of the mountain, and the cries of pain coming from the crowd...
Before they got home, Fushun was already looking out the door. When he saw Wenshu and the others, he came over to greet them.
Seeing that only Wenshu and her servant were there, Fuan kept looking behind them.
"Fu'an won't be back in the next two days," Wenshu explained.
When Fushun heard this, his face changed. He thought Fuan had done something wrong and was being punished and driven away. He hurriedly said, "Fuan may be a little impatient, but she's not a bad person. If she's careless and offended the clan leader, please don't hold it against her."
When Wenshu heard this, she knew Fushun was just imagining things, so she explained, "Fuan is fine, but Xiao Shitou's grandmother is gone from the village. I asked Fuan to look after the child for the next two days."
