Father Xiang turned his head and looked at the east room behind him, his face full of fear.

"Brother, this woman just died, and she died so violently. It seems like her shadow is everywhere in the house. I'm afraid..."

"Are you afraid?" The cattle dealer was surprised, his eyes widened and his voice became rough.

"What do you, a grown man, have to be afraid of? This is your home, where you have lived for decades, and you say you are afraid? Aren't you making people laugh?" the cattle dealer asked again.

"Brother, you can't say that..." Father Xiang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"The last time Jin Nan passed away, I was afraid for a while. Fortunately, my mother-in-law was still there at that time. At least I had someone to talk to."

"My mother-in-law is gone now. It doesn't matter if you come and walk around during the day, but at night when the courtyard door and the house door are closed, I am the only one here."

"My mother-in-law died in the east room. The west room is the house where Jin Nan lived before his death. The kitchen and the hall are full of shadows of their former lives. I am afraid wherever I go. If there is any movement at night, I am really scared.

There is no need to call the earth and the earth to work every day!"

"I want to beg you, brother, can you let me stay at your house for a few days? Let me cool down the house?"

Father Xiang was so hunched over that he almost knelt down in front of the cattle dealer.

He looked pitiful, just like those homeless old people outside, which made the cattle dealer feel sour. He was not angry, scolded, or distressed.

"That's all, then you can go and stay for a few days so that everyone can take care of us."

Seeing that the cattle dealer was relieved, Xiang's father was so excited that he thanked him so much that he almost kowtowed to him.

"Brother, I've packed up all my clothes. Let's go now." He went back to the house, threw a bundle on his back, and followed the cattle dealer and Yang Huazhong out of the courtyard with a bang.

Suddenly, Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan were the only ones left in the room.

"The bundle your dad brought is so big, I even suspected that he brought all his winter clothes with him." Xiaoduo looked away and whispered to Xiang Shengnan.

Carrying such a big baggage, it doesn't look like I'm staying here for a few days, but rather like I plan to stay there for a long time.

How could Xiang Shengnan not hear the dissatisfaction in Xiaoduo's words?

He looked at Xiao Duo apologetically and coaxed: "My father is different from my uncle. My uncle is an upright man, but my father is a little timid. When I was young, my mother made the decision for everything at home, and everything outside.

My uncle is supporting me."

"At that time, in the hearts of my brother and I, my uncle was more like my father, and my father was just a freeloader."

Hearing Xiang Shengnan disparaging his biological father, Xiaoduo curled her lips and didn't know what to say.

Xiang Shengnan continued: "Don't worry, Duo'er, we have separated. My uncle and I will abide by our original agreement. In a few days, my father will get used to it. Then I will ask him to move back and live in the old house."

It can't be without people, otherwise this house will be deserted."

Xiaoduo raised his eyebrows: "What if your father doesn't come back by then? Are you still afraid? What should you do? You can't chase him away, right?"

Xiang Shengnan also frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "My uncle and I are resolute, and my father doesn't dare to cheat. My mother has just left now, and he is not used to being alone, and he is already timid, so we will

Just bear with it, can you accumulate blessings for our Jiaojiao?"

Speaking of Jiaojiao, that is Xiaoduo's weakness.

"Okay, you have to be aware of this. After I finish the first seven days for your mother, I plan to take Jiaojiao back to her parents' house to stay for a while." Xiaoduo said again.

Xiang Shengnan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will send you there then."

Xiaoduo also showed a smile, "Then let's continue to organize things. We will need them in the next few days."

Xiang Shengnan nodded, and they entered the east room together.

It was clearly sunny outside, but in the east room, as soon as people came in, they felt a cold wind rushing towards them, making them feel chilly.

On the bed, the curtain had long been removed, and the quilt was crumpled into a ball and piled on the corner of the bed.

On the ground, broken pots and incense ashes were scattered all over the floor. The door panel where the victorious man and his wife had died had been burned, but the two long benches were used to support the door panel.

The two long benches were still there, but they had been kicked over and fell to the ground. One of them happened to be the one that Sheng and his wife trampled over when they hung themselves.

In addition, the floor in the house is a mess, damp and sticky. There have been large and small footprints in and out in the past few days, and paper money is stuck on it. The table is also in a mess. I don’t know what things are piled up together, which makes the person who cleans it up.

Unable to start.

Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan looked at each other, both of them cheering each other up.

"Duo'er, I'll clean up. You sit aside and rest." Xiang Shengnan said.

Xiaoduo was moved, but shook her head firmly: "I am the daughter-in-law, I should do these things, not to mention, this is the last thing I do for my mother."

When I sent Mr. Sheng to her final resting place, I only collected some of the clothes, shoes, socks and bedding that she usually wore and burned them for her.

In this room, there are some clothes belonging to the bride and groom. They should be packed together and taken to the grave for the first seven days before being burned for her.

Therefore, the task of collecting the items naturally falls on the son and his wife.

The two of them stopped talking and silently put these relics into a hemp bag. The two of them did this job very meticulously, almost cautiously.

It always seemed like there was a pair of invisible eyes watching the two of them in this quiet and cold room. Xiao Duo didn't dare to speak because his back felt chilly. He just hoped to finish these things quickly and leave here quickly.

.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound from the room opposite where Jin Nan lived.

Xiaoduo was startled, looked at Xiang Shengnan in horror, and asked with her eyes.

Xiang Shengnan himself was also shocked, but the young man was so angry that he refused to admit defeat, "Duo'er, wait here, I'll go to the opposite room and take a look."

"Don't, don't go..."

Xiang Shengnan had already walked out of the house and walked closer to the east room opposite.

Xiaoduo was so nervous that she stood still and didn't dare to move. She held her breath and followed Xiang Shengnan's back with her eyes as she approached the door of the west room step by step.

When he arrived at the door of the west room, Xiang Shengnan picked up a stick on the ground and held it in his hand.

Later, when you open the door, no matter what is inside, you will be beaten!

As soon as he pushed the door open a crack, something brown jumped out from inside.

"Meow..."

The thing screamed, rushed out from between Xiang Shengnan's feet, ran into the yard, jumped up the wall and jumped outside.

It turned out to be a wild cat.

Xiang Shengnan put down his stick, turned around and walked back.

Xiaoduo also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Perhaps that wild cat sneaked in looking for food. There are banquets these days, and all the cats and dogs from the village have come over." Xiang Shengnan told Xiaoduo.

Xiaoduo nodded, "Well, it should be so. Let's not delay and pack things quickly! I'll leave this to you, and I'll go and pack that box."
Chapter completed!
