Chapter 9247 stench
However, the smiles of the two paper figures are a bit eye-catching, and the blush looks weird.
In the blink of an eye, the road came to an end, and Yang Ruoqing followed the group into the main room of the Xu family.
The Xu family's main room has been transformed into a mourning hall. When you enter the door, you see a large white flag hanging in the middle, with a large word "Dian" written on it.
There is a table in front of the white banner, and in the middle of the table is a newly carved tablet with Xu's mother's name written on it.
There are several bowls placed in front of the memorial tablet, each containing large pieces of pork belly, pastries, fruits, and a bowl full of uncooked rice with three sticks of incense stuck in it.
The burning ashes of the incense fell on the rice underneath, leaving a layer of gray and black.
In addition, there is also a big naked rooster on the table. The rooster's body is entangled on the table in a twisted and weird posture. The knife incision on the chicken's neck is very obvious, and the dark red blood scab makes people feel the air. There is still a fishy smell of chicken blood and chicken skin in it.
"Qing'er, I swear, I don't want to eat chicken again within a month, really!"
Mrs. Liu suddenly leaned into Yang Ruoqing's ear and whispered something in a low voice.
Yang Ruoqing turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Liu, and found that Mrs. Liu was looking at the same thing as herself, looking at the chicken on the long table.
"Well, I'm about the same." Yang Ruoqing responded in a low voice.
If she didn't respond a word, Ms. Liu would probably think that she didn't hear her and keep talking about it over and over again.
"Mother, dear mother~"
"My dear mother, dear mother, please get up. Why did you leave just now? I can't bear to leave you, oh oh oh..."
Xu Qiaohong's shrill cries suddenly sounded from behind the white banner.
Then, I saw that the women all went to the back to persuade and help Xu Qiaohong.
Mrs. Liu wanted to go to the back to watch the fun, but Yang Ruoqing grabbed her and said, "First burn incense and kowtow!"
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's instructions, Mrs. Liu quickly stopped, turned around and followed Yang Ruoqing to the side, took the incense handed to her by the person next to her, held it between her hands, and carefully bowed three times to Xu's mother's spiritual tablet.
After finishing everything, the two of them followed Yang Huamei and went behind the white banner.
Behind the white flag is Xu's mother's coffin.
As soon as they walked around the white flags, a scent of at least a dozen kinds of spices hit their nostrils. These things were scattered around the coffin like ashes by the Xu family for free.
The aroma is tangy!
Originally, smelling so many spices should make people feel relaxed and refreshed.
However, the continuous flow of these fragrances into the nostrils makes people feel weird.
Why?
Because behind these strong and messy fragrances, there is an unprecedented stench!
The stench made Yang Huamei and Mrs. Liu, who had just walked in and were not prepared, cover their mouths and start retching.
Yang Ruoqing also frowned secretly and held her breath calmly.
Yang Huamei and Mrs. Liu didn't know what it smelled like, but Yang Ruoqing did.
This is corpse odor!
Xu's mother's body could not withstand the high temperature and had begun to deteriorate.
So there is a reasonable explanation for the existence of so many spices here.
Yang Huamei reluctantly controlled it, because there was her future daughter-in-law, and the person lying in the coffin was her own mother-in-law.
So Yang Huamei just retched twice and held it back, then walked inside to comfort Xu Qiaohong.
Ms. Liu, however, had no such scruples. She threw away Yang Ruoqing's hand and ran to the door of the hall. Then, the sound of her tragic retching could be heard in the yard outside...
The other people in the main room heard it and were all embarrassed.
But it was hard for anyone to say anything. After all, the smell here was really bad. They had all retched when they came in before.
Yang Huamei held back her nausea and supported Xu Qiaohong there, speaking words of comfort intermittently.
"Good girl, don't cry. Your mother is alive in heaven and knows that you are so filial and reluctant to leave her. She will definitely be pleased..."
"Good girl, there is no resurrection after death, you have to grieve and take care of yourself..."
Xu Qiaohong cried and shook her head. Even though a steady stream of stench was emanating from the coffin in front of her, she seemed like a person who had lost her sense of smell.
Not only was she continuing to cry, but she was also holding on to the coffin in front of her with both hands. She was so sad that she wished she could just bump into the coffin and go with her mother.
"Mother-in-law, my mother, my mother, she left, she left too quickly!"
"Not a word, not a word, not a word of explanation!"
Xu Qiaohong burst into tears and fell into Yang Huamei's arms.
"From now on, from now on I will...have no mother, wuwuwu..."
Yang Huamei hugged Xu Qiaohong's trembling body tightly as she cried. At this scene, Yang Huamei's tears also fell down.
Before, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Qiaohong, her younger daughter-in-law. After all, she was her second marriage.
But at this moment, she hugged Xu Qiaohong tightly in her arms, patted Xu Qiaohong's back, stroked Xu Qiaohong's hair, and said with a sigh of relief: "Good girl, you still have me, my mother-in-law is also my mother, and my mother-in-law."
ah……"
"mother!"
Xu Qiaohong shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Eh!"
Yang Huamei also swallowed her voice and responded. Finally, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried.
Xiao Hei stood by and guarded Xu Qiaohong from beginning to end. Seeing his mother and his wife being so close, Xiao Hei's eyes turned red for the first time.
At this moment, Xiao Hei felt that he had grown up and become more sensible.
As for the two daughters-in-law of the Xu family, I'm sorry. Although they are also very sad about the sudden death of their mother-in-law, they are daughters-in-law after all. It will only take less than two years for them to join the Xu family and die.
This sadness is naturally incomparable to that of Xu Qiaohong, my own daughter.
Moreover, the two daughters-in-law rarely went to the coffin, except when they had to entertain relatives, so they also accompanied him to the coffin.
Other times, they basically hide behind.
None of the other female relatives dared to step forward.
Yang Ruoqing really didn't want to stay here any longer. There was a certain time limit for holding one's breath, and it was impossible to hold one's breath forever.
Fortunately, at this time, some members of the Xu family came over and asked everyone to sit down in other rooms, saying that the banquet was about to begin.
Seeing that Yang Huamei and Xu Qiaohong were hugging each other and crying bitterly, unable to separate, Yang Ruoqing didn't bother to care about her and just followed the Xu family out.
When I walked to the door of the hall, although the smell of soot mixed with burning paper still penetrated my nose, the smell of corpses was gone, and I felt like I had been reborn.
"My boss, on this hot day, I need you to go there in person..."
Xu Yuanming was supported by Xu Er and came over tremblingly.
On a hot day, Xu Yuanming's head was wrapped with a white handkerchief, and plasters were applied to both temples. While being supported by Xu Er, he was also holding a cane in his hand.
