Siheyuan: crossing the compound, not waiting

the next morning,
He Yuzhu and his wife are going to work!

Before leaving, the couple came to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house as usual, planning to entrust Xiaodang and Huaihua to them to take care of them.

"Boom, boom, boom.".

"Master, mother."

"Master.......".

He Yuzhu knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

If Yi Zhonghai would have agreed to open the door in normal times, why is there no movement today?
He Yuzhu was curious for a moment, so he pushed the door gently with his hand.

There was only a creak, and the unbolted door was pushed open!
He Yuzhu stood at the door and yelled inside again!

"Master, are you up yet?"

"Master, mother."

Who ever thought, there is still no response inside.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu in a panic, and said to her.

"Usually the elder gets up early, what's going on today? Could something happen to them?".

When Qin Huairu heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

"Silly Zhu, why don't we go in and have a look?"

He Yuzhu nodded and walked in with Qin Huairu.

"ah………,".

"Come on, big master, something happened to big mother."

"Everyone, come here quickly? Grandpa and the others are dead."

When He Yuzhu and his wife saw Yi Zhonghai who died in the room, they were scared out of their wits and ran out screaming and screaming.

"Silly Zhu, Huai Ru, what happened?".

"Brother Zhuzi, Sister Qin, what happened to the uncle and the others?"

After hearing the shouts, Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian came over first.

Seeing He Yuzhu and his wife's panic-stricken appearance, the two hurriedly asked!

When He Yuzhu saw the two brothers, he immediately told them the situation in Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Da Mao, Guang Tian, ​​the old man and his wife are dead."

"Huiru and I were just about to entrust the children, but there was no movement after knocking on the door for a long time. When we went in, we saw them both lying there.".

Xu Damao was surprised at first, but then he seemed to think of something?
"Last night, I vaguely heard the old man and the big mother arguing. I thought they were bickering over trivial matters. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen."

Liu Guangtian also agreed!
"I also heard the big mother scolding the big man, but the sound soon disappeared.".

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu suspiciously and asked.

"Huairu, I went to bed early last night and didn't hear anything, did you hear the quarrel at Grandpa's house?".

Qin Huairu turned pale with fright, and said tremblingly.

"Okay... I seem to have heard it, but I'm not sure they were arguing."

Xu Damao sighed, and said to He Yuzhu and his wife earnestly.

"Hey! What's wrong with our compound? People are killed one after another, I'm afraid this place can't stay here.".

"Silly Zhu, Huai Ru, if you two want to go to work, go quickly, the uncle will leave it to us."

"You two will take a day off tomorrow, and we will bury the old man and the old couple together.".

He Yuzhu didn't want to go to work, but Qin Huairu said while tugging at the corner of his clothes.

"Silly Zhu, let's go to work first, aren't there other people in the yard?"

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, but nodded slowly!
"Okay, let's go to work."

"Da Mao, Guang Tian, ​​thank you both for your hard work."

"By the way, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua also trouble you to take care of them. The old man used to help take care of the children, but now they are gone..."

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly!
"Don't be so polite between brothers, don't worry, everything will be given to us.".

"Let's go, it's already seven forty."

He Yuzhu looked at the time and was indeed very nervous, so he pulled Qin Huairu and rushed to work!
Seeing He Yuzhu and his wife leave the compound, Xu Damao quickly gave Liu Guangtian a wink, and the two hurried to Yi Zhonghai's house.

After wearing several thick layers of shrouds for Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao ordered Liu Guangtian to ask the third mother to come over and dress the first mother.

Now only the third mother and an old woman are left in the entire compound, and the responsibility of dressing the first mother in the shroud naturally falls on her!

After the third mother came over, she asked Xu Damao anxiously.

"Da Mao, how did the old man and the old couple leave?".

Xu Damao looked sad and hesitated for a moment before replying.

"In the morning, the Shazhu couple entrusted them with the child, but they didn't respond after calling for a long time. When they came in, they found that the child was dead.".

"Judging from the traces at the scene, it should be that the husband and wife quarreled, the elder brother accidentally killed the elder mother, and the elder master committed suicide by taking poison due to guilt."

When the third mother heard this, she hurriedly looked at the house, and she found that there were traces of fighting, and there was a broken bowl on the ground.

"Hey, what's that?"

The third mother was observing the scene for a moment, and suddenly saw a piece of paper full of words under the bed.

Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian followed the surprised eyes of the third mother and saw the paper full of words.

Liu Guangtian hurried over to pick it up!
"I, Yi Zhonghai, are not as good as a beast. The old woman has been with me for so many years. She didn't enjoy the blessing of having a full house of children and grandchildren, but she was accidentally injured to death by me because of a quarrel."

"I'm sorry old woman, I'm ashamed of the title of good man and great man given to me by the neighbors in the compound. For committing such a crime, I, Yi Zhonghai, can only apologize with death, and my conscience is at peace."

"Neighbors and neighbors, the uncle left first, and went to the underworld to find my old woman to atone for the mistakes he made.".

After Liu Guangtian finished reading the words on the paper, he couldn't help crying.

"Hey, this is the suicide note left by the uncle."

"It stated the reason for both of them's death. The aunt had a quarrel with the lord and was beaten to death by the lord. The lord was ashamed of the aunt and went with her."

After hearing this, the third mother burst into tears, thinking of her dead wife and son.

"Is this God's punishment for the compound? What did we do wrong? Which god did we offend?".

Xu Damao forcefully squeezed out a few tears, and said while holding back his mouth.

"Will the once bustling four courtyards really end in a sad ending?".

"I don't believe it, I, Xu Damao, don't believe it."

The three complained sadly in the room, and Xu Damao looked at the third mother and said.

"Third Mom, Guang Tian and I have helped put on the shroud of the First Master."

"I'll trouble you to help the big mom get dressed, Guangtian and I will go out first."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Liu Guangtian out!
The three mothers are really sad!

The successive deaths of the third master and her son hit her hard, and now the neighbors in the compound have left one by one, which really broke her down.

Seeing Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian go out, the third mom was ready to dress the second mom with a sad heart.

Because Yi Zhonghai and his wife left suddenly, they left without saying a word to the neighbors.

The third mom doesn't know where the second mom's shroud is?

So, I rummaged through the boxes in the bedroom!
When he turned under the box, he suddenly saw another note.

Since the third mother is illiterate, she can only put the note in her pocket first, and ask Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian to read it to herself later.

After searching for a long time, I finally found two shrouds.

The third mother understands that the more shrouds the dead wear, the better, but the second mother only has two.

In order to wear more clothes for the second aunt, the third mother also put on some of her plain clothes before she was alive, and finally put on the shroud.

After getting dressed, he came out to look for Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian, only to find that they were gone!
The three mothers hurriedly shouted!
"Da Mao, Guang Tian, ​​where did people go?".

"The second aunt's shroud has been put on, and she can be put into a coffin.".

The three mothers yelled for a long time, but there was no response!
