"It would be a waste of time to prepare clothes now." Du Lai patiently advised her, "Miaoxue, what you can do is actually very simple. Just remember everything you see and then come out and repeat it to us."

"No! I don't want to go in alone!" Fu Miaoxue insisted on his opinion, "How much time can I waste preparing clothes? Isn't it enough to steal a few black clothes nearby? Anyway, everyone in the village comes to attend the funeral, so there must be no one at home!"

It makes some sense...

Bai Youwei thought for a while, took off the camel-colored shawl on her body, and said, "I'll go with her. You can go nearby and have a look. Of course, it's best to change your clothes and go in to pay condolences."

"That's it." Shen Mo took her shawl and turned around and left with Du Lai.

Without the shawl, Bai Youwei immediately felt the chill of autumn. But looking at the two men walking away, she felt that her physical condition still needs to be improved.

Fu Miaoxue thorned her teeth and went in with Bai Youwei.

The crying sounds inside are even louder.

Lizheng's home is not as particular as the old scholar's residence. It is just a simple yard. When you enter the door, you will be a square yard. Then there are three large blue brick houses in front, on the left and on the right. On both sides are the son and daughter-in-law, and the main house is Lizheng and Lizheng's wife.

The coffin is placed in the main hall directly in front of it.

There were crying, singing, burning paper, and burning incense, which was very lively.

The woman called Ma looked fifty or sixty years old, wearing mourning cloth on her head, sitting foolishly beside the coffin, and everyone in the room was crying, but the old woman didn't cry, as if she was scared by this incident.

Bai Youwei and Fu Miaoxue heard the condolences chatting in a low voice:

"Looking at how Ma is, I'm afraid he won't live long."

"Yes, Li's so too. First the man was beheaded, but not long after, she couldn't do it."

Li's?

The first sentence in the prompt given by the inspector is: There is a female Li...

Bai Youwei felt aroused in her heart and immediately leaned over and asked, "Has Li's head been beheaded?"

The guest who spoke replied, "How can it be? Li Laizi was beheaded. Li was silly sick. After her man died, she began to stop eating or drinking, and naturally she died soon. Look, just like the current Ma family."

As he spoke, he saw Ma's daughter-in-law bringing her a bowl of water and putting it on her mouth to dip it. Ma's even didn't even know how to open her mouth, staring at the coffin in a daze.

When the villagers who came to pay their respects saw this, they all sighed and shook their heads.

"The Ma family can't survive..." Many people said so.

At this time, Ritsuma's son asked, "Are you ready for Dad's meal?"

The woman who fed Ma Shi water put down the bowl and replied, "It's ready."

——After people died, they usually had to hold things in their mouths. This was called "farming" and some places were called "tonguing". Rich people contained gold beads and jade, while poor families used food, meaning that the deceased would not suffer when they were on the road to the underworld.

The daughter-in-law served half a spoonful of white rice, about one bite, pressed it firmly in the spoon, and handed it to her son. The son bowed to the old man in the coffin and said, "Dad, I'll make you a meal."

After saying that, he reached out to pinch the old man's jaw and delivered the white rice to his mouth.

However, the old man's mouth was tightly closed and he couldn't open it no matter how he pinched it.

The son cried, "Dad! Just open your mouth, it's better than enduring hunger and cold on the road to the underworld!"

He increased his strength in his hand and pried the rice spoon into the old man's mouth. Unexpectedly, his strength was too strong. The old man's head was broken and he was pried away by this force and flew out of the coffin!
