This chapter is very long three parts in one it said. But I will do it in two parts.

---

There are more than a dozen families in the village, all are neighbors.

Although they often gossips, splash dirty water, and spit but if something happens, they will come forward to help.

As soon as the village chief announce on the radio, Everyone put down what they were doing and went out. They searched back and forth, but couldn’t find anyone, so they stopped looking.

After all, it was so late, there are elders and children in every family still waiting for dinner.

Just when they took a break, suddenly a scream broke the silence. The scream was so sad that the listeners felt their scalps go numb and hearts tremble with fear.

They rushed to Wang Yue Mei’s house immediately upon hearing the cry, and were startled by the situation in the yard.

After searching for so long, shouting till their throats became sore, but can’t find a paralyzed person. Everyone had some bad guesses, but they didn’t say anything.

But seeing Wang Yue Mei motionless on the ground with their own eyes, they were still speechless.

With the village chief’s loud cry, everyone shivered, and then showed complex expressions.

Wang Yue Mei, who was once so beautiful, had suitors all over ten miles and eight villages, and lived a more exquisite life than anyone else, is died.

Died on such a normal day, reason unknown.

Except for Huang Dan and Li Gen, no one else knew that Wang Yue Mei did not die in the utility room, but in that smelly and small chicken coop.

Huang Dan knew the reason for Li Gen’s concealment. He didn’t want gossips after his mother death.

If others knew about it and spread the word, some people will definitely comment, sigh, and ridicule behind the backs.

Look, that Wang Yue Mei was a person who paid attention to her appearance during her lifetime. Not to mention her clothes, no matter if she was twenty, thirty, or fifty, she would always wear flowers, gardenias, honeysuckle, etc. , well dressed.

She is even more arrogant, looks down on everyone, blindly pursues perfection, doesn’t even like to see her own younger son, the men who are eccentric can’t stand it anymore, and whoever can’t resist a few words of persuasion will be caught with cynicism.

When the time comes and you die, you are no different from an animal.

Perhaps, more than this, those people will take out the chicken coop and spit on chicken, what does that mean, isn’t it obvious? As far as Wang Yue Mei’s honorable past is concerned, it is very fitting.

So Li Gen won’t say that, he can’t make his mother a laughing stock.

Huang Dan just couldn’t figure out who did it.

He hadn’t been in contact with Wang Yue Mei for a long time and combined with his understanding and memory of the original owner, including what he heard, it can be imagined what kind of person Wang Yue Mei was.

Be harsh on others, especially on herself, and cannot tolerate any flaws and stains.

The murderer stuffed Wang Yue Mei’s body into such a filthy place, which was a great insult. She lived her life proudly which is forcibly covered with dirty smell now, following her afterlife.

With Wang Yue Mei’s personality, even if she went to the underworld, she would not be able to lift her head up.

How much hatred, loathing and enmity is there?

Huang Dan frowned. During the day, he believed that Wang Yue Mei was most suspected of killing Li Da Gui, so he was ready to fill in the answers and submit the task results. Unexpectedly, she died.

Huang Dan felt that he was pushed to dead end by an invisible hand.

Can Wang Yue Mei be excluded like He Wei was excluded?

Huang Dan’s brows knit together. Everything he saw and heard was always aimed at Wang Yue Mei. The death was too sudden and now he fell into a chaotic situation.

Wu Cui Ling, who had rushed back from Shanghechang staggered and threw herself beside Wang Yue Mei, crying loudly, “Mom…what’s wrong with you…how could you be like this…”

Only then did Huang Dan come back to his senses.

Glancing at the second suspect, Wu Cui Ling, he lowered his eyelids, don’t know what was he thinking.

Wu Cui Ling was crying hard, her nose and tears were pouring down, she was in a panic, someone was pulling her, someone was trying to persuade her, it was a mess.

There was a depressive feeling in the courtyard.

The chickens have all returned to their coops. They gather together and happily peck their wings. They only know that the person occupying the coop is finally gone, but they don’t know that it was a corpse.

After Li Gen uttered that cry, he didn’t say another word. He’s so quiet, it’s frightening.

Huang Dan went back and said to Chen Jin Hua who was sitting on the threshold, “I’ll sleep at Ge’s place tonight.”

Chen Jin Hua wiped away her tears, “Okay, you should comfort Li Gen more, let him calm down.”

Huang Dan took a ladle of water from the water tank, squatted on the ground and poured the water into his hands, “Mom, what do you think is going on? When I saw Aunt Wang at noon, she was still fine.”

Chen Jin Hua sighed, “Life is not permanent, don’t say, when it will disappear”

There was more complaint in her tone, “Either one were not by her side, really don’t know what to think, your Aunt Wang left alone with that paralyzed body!”

Huang Dan said, “Cui Ling *Jie and Ge were both busy, they didn’t know that Aunt Wang will have an accident.” (*T/N: older sister)

Chen Jin Hua twisted her snot, threw it on the ground and wiped it with the soles of her shoes then casually wiped her nose with hem of the gown twice, “If one of them put more heart and stay , how could such a thing happen to your Aunt Wang?”

“A good living person, just died like this, don’t know who did it…” She panted while holding her stomach, her face was very bad, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”

Huang Dan asked, “Mom, is your stomach hurting again?”

Chen Jin Hua leaned against the door frame, “I am getting older, I will have more minor problems. It’s nothing serious, just take it easy.”

Huang Dan said, “Where’s the medicine? Where did you put it? I’ll get it for you.”

Chen Jin Hua’s expression was a bit weird.

Huang Dan guessed something, “Have you finished it?”

Chen Jin Hua didn’t speak.

Huang Dan had a headache, “Mom, the medicine is finished, why didn’t you tell me?”

Chen Jin Hua said, “The medicine is very expensive. It costs a small packet. It tastes so bad that it doesn’t work. Mom thinks it’s better to drink more water and be careful when eat anything.”

Huang Dan withdrew his probing gaze, Chen Jin Hua is waiting to die.

He pressed the centre of his eyebrows and walked back and forth, “Tomorrow I will go to the town to buy medicine for you.”

Chen Jin Hua said, “If you buy it back, mom won’t eat it.”

Huang Dan said, “Then throw it away.”

Chen Jin Hua said angrily, “You are getting more and more courageous, and now you dare to threaten your mother!”

Huang Dan put the water ladle back into the water tank, “Mom, the body is the most important thing. Look at Aunt Wang. If she does, she won’t be like this. My brother suddenly lost his mother. I don’t want to be like him.”

Chen Jin Hua patted the ashes on the gown, “You are old enough to take care of yourself.”

Huang Dan stared at the woman in front of him.

Chen Jin Hua supported the door frame and stood up, turned around and walked to the main room, “There are peanuts boiled in the pot, you can take some in a basin and eat them at night if you are hungry.”

Huang Dan stood where he was, looked at the limping figure of the woman, squinted his eyes and said, “Mom, I know that you must feel very uncomfortable when Aunt Wang is gone, but people can’t come back to life after death, so don’t be too Sad.”

Chen Jin Hua’s footsteps paused, and said in a low voice, “Mom knows.”

Huang Dan took the peanuts to Li Gen’s house, and the village chief and the others all went back.

The pigs in the pen were hungry and arched against the wooden railing angrily. It was all the strength of one pig to break the dead atmosphere. No matter how hard the pig tried, no one paid attention to it. It was destined to sleep hungry tonight.

Huang Dan went to the room, put the peanuts on the table, grabbed a handful and handed them to the man sitting by the bed, “Ge, eat some peanuts.”

Li Gen was smoking in a stifle manner.

Huang Dan’s hand was sore, so he changed it. He sat by the bed, not knowing what to do, even when faced with a mountain of blueprints, staying up late and working overtime again and again, he was never so helpless.

The smell of smoke in the room was strong, approaching the level of choking.

Li Gen pinched off the butt of the cigarette, went to get a match, lit another one and smoked. He didn’t cry, didn’t make a sound, and was suppressing his emotions with the cigarette.

Huang Dan peeled and ate the salted peanuts in his hand, got up and went to the kitchen.

The two big pots were cold, and there was white rice in the pot, soybeans with shells on the stove, sweet potato leaves in the basket, and a few small sweet potatoes wrapped in mud.

Usually it was Wu Cui Ling who cooked, but now she was about to faint from crying, and it was impossible for her to come over to cook dinner.

Huang Dan’s daily life has always been taken care of by the housekeeper. He doesn’t know how to cook, and he can’t even tell the difference between soy sauce and vinegar. After traveling to this world, he knows how to make a fire and has learned a lot.

Looking at the pot hole, Huang Dan saw a lot of dry firewood and a large bamboo basket of dry straw, so he went to fetch water to wash rice, wash pots and cook porridge.

He sat by the pothole and lit a fire, “Mr. System, Wang Yue Mei is dead.”

System, “The progress of the synchronizing task is here, Mr. Huang.”

Huang Dan said, “Then Li Gen and I were in the cornfield, you also know about it?”

The system said that it didn’t know, “All intimate content need to censored”

Huang Dan breathed a sigh of relief, he was still very shy doing that kind of thing, as long as it doesn’t know. According to the normal pattern of homicide cases, Wang Yue Mei’s death is free from suspicion, right? Otherwise, his mission would not still be in progress and not have received any notification.

“Mr. System, this time I was in the wrong direction. Tigers never eat their cubs. Wang Yue Mei probably just favoured her eldest son Li Gen seriously. She felt that the mud couldn’t support the wall, and the fortune teller said that he beat the fate of elder son, so Wang Yue Mei hated the younger son even more, and would say that it would be great if the younger son died, but that doesn’t mean she would really do it .”

“Sometimes, some words may just be said casually but not to be put into action. If you actually do it, you would not say anything.”

Huang Dan poked the firewood with the tongs and felt that he had failed. So far, his mind is still in a mess, he can’t figure out where the thread is, and he can only rely on death as the only way to eliminate the murderer.

【Mr. Huang, your guardian sent you a “love hug”, would you like to receive it? 】

“I don’t want to.”

System，“……”

Huang Dan said, “Mr. System, we are not relatives, and loving hugs are inappropriate.”

System, “I was being rude.”

Huang Dan said, “If you want to comfort me, encourage me and cheer me up, you can use another method.”

System, “I can give you a chrysanthemum spirit for free.”

“Thank you, please store it in the fly cabinet for me.” Huang Dan said, “The chrysanthemum spirit is indeed a good thing, I have experienced it personally, but I’d prefer it if Mr. System had painkillers, or could numb my painful nerves for a long time. ”

System, “Sorry, There is nothing I can do”

Huang Dan said, “It’s okay.”

Chrysanthemum Spirit is good if there is no other choice, at least it can prevent him dying from bleeding into a river when he twitches in pain and tears all over his face.

After the porridge was cooked, Huang Dan went to get a bowl from the kitchen cabinet, filled half of the bowl with porridge, added some pickles, and brought it to Li Gen.

On the way, Huang Dan turned around and went to Wu Cui Ling’s house, standing at the door and shouting, “Cui Ling Jie, I made porridge, would you like some?”

Wu Cui Ling’s voice came from the room, with slight sobbing, “No need…”

Huang Dan raised his eyebrows.

The method of elimination is the simplest and crudest. Both Wang Yue Mei and He Wei are dead, and only Wu Cui Ling, Zhang Ying Xiong, and Chen Jin Hua are left. The murderer is among these three.

Huang Dan didn’t say more. When he entered the room, the smell of cigarette was stronger than when he left, and it was hard to keep his eyes open.

Li Gen was still leaning against the head of the bed, in the same posture as before. He half-closed his eyelids, his entire face was covered by the smoke, but the sadness penetrated through the smoke, making people flustered.

Huang Dan blew the porridge, handed it over and said, “Ge, be careful, it’s hot.”

Li Gen pushed away the bowl in front of him.

Caught off guard, Huang Dan’s hand trembled, and some of the porridge in the bowl fell onto his hand.

At that moment, he cried in pain, and couldn’t hold the bowl and dropped it on the mat. The porridge was hot and steaming, and it was scattered everywhere.

Li Gen come to his sense. He quickly extinguished the cigarette, dragged the young man to the kitchen, and pressed the other’s burned hand into the water tank.

Huang Dan hissed, and the burning pain subsided a little. At this moment, his head was profusely sweating, and his face was covered with tears.

Li Gen wiped away the young man’s tears with his other hand, pursing his lips tightly.

Huang Dan saw the man go out and came back quickly, crushed an unknown grass, and spread the juice on his reddened skin, “Ge, don’t be sad.”

Li Gen’s voice was hoarse, “No, Ge can’t do it. ”

Huang Dan said, “Auntie, what to do about her at night?”

Li Gen lowered his eyes, “Let’s put her in the main hall.”

Seeing that the man was about to leave, Huang Dan stretched out his hand to grab him, but he didn’t pay attention, and used the hand that was burned, and it hurt again, excruciating pain, he took a breath, “Ge, I won’t go back at night.”

Li Gen didn’t say anything.

The grass soothe Huang Dan’s hands without blistering. He ate two bowls of porridge by himself, cleaned the pot, and squatted in the yard thinking about the problem. His legs were numb from squatting but Huang Dan didn’t come up with an accurate answer.

He went to Zhang Ying Xiong’s house and found that the lights were all off. It’s so late, it’s not good to wake people up.

Huang Dan wandered around in front of the door and returned to Li Gen’s place.

The moon on the fifteenth day is round so on sixteenth, and tonight is sixteenth. The moon hanging high in the night sky is round and big, as if it has fallen on the treetops, and every plant and tree in the village can be seen clearly.

Huang Dan is not afraid of ghosts. But thinking of Wang Yue Mei being stuffed in a chicken coop and her body being broken, walking alone in the village, smelling the wafting smell of green grass, earth, and a little bit of chicken feces, made his hairs stand on the end .

There was a slight sound from behind, and Huang Dan turned his head in an instant, “Who is behind?”

No dogs, no cats, nothing. It’s the wind.

At night, when there is such a strong wind, there will definitely be noises from leaves, dead grass and so on.

Huang Dan’s heart was pounding, he licked his dry lips, feeling restless, he quickened his pace and left.

Drinking porridge at night, the number of times of getting up at night is not less. Huang Dan knew it was wrong to hold back his urine, it was bad for his bladder, but the situation was special, he held it for a while, but it still didn’t work.

I wanted a man to accompany me, but Huang Dan couldn’t open his mouth, and felt that it was inappropriate. He just lost his mother tonight, didn’t cry and feeling depressed.

When Huang Dan went out, he passed by the main hall, and Wang Yue Mei’s body was placed on a board, covered with a cloth and head exposed. He swallowed his saliva and walked forward bravely.

When he reached the chicken coop in the yard, he unconsciously turned his head to look. Obviously sleepless chickens cooing but Huang Dan’s hairs stood on end, as if the next moment, the door of the chicken coop would be pushed open, and Wang Yue Mei, who was twisted, crawled out from inside.

Damn, why am I scaring myself?

Huang Dan took a deep breath. He usually does not do anything wrong and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. He has a clear conscience.

The hut was behind the yard. When Huang Dan was urinating, he heard a woman crying sadly.

It was Wu Cui Ling. It seemed that she was not asleep either. Wang Yue Mei’s death, Wu Cui Ling’s grief was really strong and lasting.

It stands to reason that she is a mother-in-law with no blood relationship and her husband is gone but still making things difficult, being sarcastic, disgusting, and dissatisfied with everything. It’s hard to accept it like a real mother, right? Or is Wu Cui Ling’s heart too soft and kind?

Putting on his trousers, Huang Dan leaned against the wall and listened. It would be great if he could find out how Wu Cui Ling’s son who was less than one year old died. It might be a key clue.

It’s a pity that Huang Dan asked the villagers including Chen Jin Hua and Zhang Ying Xiong and they all said that the child had an accident. It shows that there were very few people who knew about it at that time, and it was not spread out. The only ones who probably knew the truth were the child’s family members.

However, there are many kinds of accidents, some of which can be man-made.

Huang Dan scratched his neck. In the countryside, if a daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, even if the mother-in-law hate that daughter-in-law, would not harm her grandson.

Because there is a saying, called intergenerational relatives.

In conclusion, Assuming that the child’s death is related to Li Da Gui, then as a mother, Wu Cui Ling has the biggest motive for killing.

Huang Dan kicked the dirt around his feet. His mission was to find out who killed Li Da Gui. As for who killed Wang Yue Mei, and how he designed to hide it from everyone, stuffed the body into the chicken coop, these are not among his tasks.

The crying in the room stopped for a while, and then started again. Judging by Wu Cui Ling’s momentum, she wanted to mourn for Wang Yue Mei in advance.

Huang Dan rubbed his arms, and when he went back, he saw the man took a pack of unopened Qixi, and immediately grabbed it from his hand, “Ge, stop smoking.”

Li Gen’s jaw line tightened, “Give it to me.”

Huang Dan said, “You have been smoking all night, if you continue smoking, your throat will be sore, and you will not be able to speak tomorrow.”

Li Gen raised his eyes sharply, “I’ll say it again, give me the cigarette!”

Huang Dan said, “No.”

Li Gen waved his long arm.

Huang Dan instinctively covered his head with his hands.

Li Gen took a breath, and the hostility and anger in his eyes disappeared, “Don’t be afraid, Ge is not going to beat you, Dong Tian , be obedient, and give the cigarette to Ge.”

Huang Dan said, “Ge, you promised me.”

Li Gen wiped his face heavily, his hands hung down, clenched into fists and then loosened, “Yes, Ge said, I will smoke less in the future, but now my heart feels uncomfortable.”

Huang Dan looked at the man worriedly.

Li Gen leaned back a little and knocked his head against the wall, “Don’t worry, Ge is fine, just a little uncomfortable, really.”

There was a suppressed choked sound in his throat, his fingertips trembled slightly, and his eyes gradually turned red, “Ge has no mother, Dong Tian, Ge has no mother.”

Huang Dan patted the man on the back. He had never experienced the feeling of the death of a loved one. He didn’t know what it was like, and he couldn’t think of suitable words to relieve the man’s grief in a short time. It can’t be relieved even if you think about it, it can only be relieved slowly with time.

Li Gen buried his face in the young man’s neck.

Huang Dan felt a warm liquid running across his skin, one drop or two, more and more, his heart feel a little suffocated “Ge, don’t cry.”

Li Gen strangled the person in his arms, and tightened his arms again and again, as if he was desperately holding the only thing he had, and he couldn’t lose it anymore, otherwise he would have nothing.

Huang Dan can’t laugh, he doesn’t know what kind of emotion it is, but he cries and hurts easily, it seems that his emotions have a big error. The man’s restrained crying sounded in his ears, and his tears also came down.

When an accident strikes, people are dumbfounded, and there minds go blank. When they react, the sadness is already pressed in their hearts like a boulder, and they need to cry bitterly to vent out.

After crying, Li Gen calmed down a bit, and instead of looking for cigarettes, he slept with the Huang Dan in his arms.
