Chapter 226: Retrieving The Corpse

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Even though Madam Qian has been divorced and returned to the Qian family, her maiden family is gone, so you guys have to take care of the burial.”

...

As these people were from the same village as the Qian family, they had helped to report the case. By doing this, they had already gone beyond the call of duty.

Madam Qian had died and her body had fallen into such a state.

The fellow villagers really didn’t want to help her with her funeral.

Wang Dashan finally came back to his senses.

“I understand. We’ll pack up and go over to deal with it now,” he said.

No matter how many mistakes his mother had made before, she was dead now, and everything should end at this point.

…..

Wang Dashan should go and take care of her corpse.

Wang Dashi looked at his oldest nephew.

He frowned but did not say anything.

Wang Laoshuan watched as his son strode into the house and then he quickly ran after him.

When they saw this, the villagers from the Qian family’s village did not stay any longer.

They had already delivered the message and the deceased’s family had agreed to go to the Qian family’s village to deal with Madam Qian’s corpse. They could leave now.

Thus, the villagers from the Qian family’s village bade Wang Dashi farewell right away.

Inside the house, Wang Dashan went straight to the bed, took a woven bamboo sleeping mat, and then walked out.

Upon seeing this, Wang Laoshuan quickly stopped his son.

“What are you doing with the woven bamboo sleeping mat?” he asked.

Wang Dashan looked at his father and replied, “To wrap up her body.”

With the current situation at home, it was impossible for their family to come up with the money to buy a coffin.

And giving his mother a grand burial was completely out of the question.

Wang Dashan could only wrap his mother’s body up with a mat and find a place to bury her.

Wang Laoshuan’s expression changed slightly, and he reached out to stop his son again.

“Her cousin must have a mat at home. Don’t take ours,” he said.

Wang Dashan was stunned.

He looked at his father.

To think that his father was still thinking about such things at this juncture…

Wang Laoshuan avoided his son’s gaze, but he still refused to give in.

Wang Dashan sighed in his heart again.

He felt that his father was cold and heartless, but then again, wasn’t he the same in the past?

“We’ll bring it there just in case. If the Qian family has one, we’ll take it from them.”

“If the Qian family doesn’t have any, we’ll use this,” Wang Dashan said in the end.

Wang Laoshuan stared blankly for a while before stepping aside.

Then, he left together with his son.

When he reached the courtyard, he realized that the villagers from the Qian family’s village had all left.

When Wang Dashi saw the father and son, he came up to them.

After finding out their plan, he went with the father and son to look for a hoe each.

Then, the three of them set off for the Qian family’s village.

They finally arrived at the Qian family’s village and proceeded to the house of Madam Qian’s cousin.

As soon as they arrived outside the courtyard, the three of them smelled a foul stench.

A look of hesitation flashed across Wang Dashan’s face before he pushed the door open and entered the premises.

The courtyard was in a mess, and a broken, rotting body was lying in the middle of the courtyard.

Judging from the clothes on the corpse, there was no doubt that it was Madam Qian.

Puke! Wang Laoshuan could not suppress the nauseating feeling in his throat and ran to the side to vomit.

Wang Dashi also quickly reached out and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

At the same time, he reminded Wang Dashan to quickly cover his mouth and nose as well.

“The weather is so hot. I wonder how long she has been dead. And there are so many maggots!”

After Wang Dashan covered his mouth and nose, he did not go directly to the corpse. Instead, he entered the Qian family’s house.

After moving further away from the corpse, the smell wasn’t so bad anymore.

“Go and look for some cloth to make a mask. Also, look for two woven bamboo bed mats so that we can wrap up her body later,” Wang Dashan said.

“Mm-hmm!” Wang Laoshuan and Wang Dashi quickly answered.

Then, the trio started to search the Qian family’s house.

Wang Dashan went to one of the Qian family’s rooms first before going to the kitchen. He found that the room was completely empty. There was no mat at all, not even a bed curtain.

The kitchen was even more empty. There was nothing but half a bucket of water and some withered wild vegetables.

Wang Dashan sighed in his heart, lamenting how cruel the Qian family members were.

Then, he heard his second uncle shout out that he had found some cloth.

When he saw the clothes in Wang Dashi’s hand, Wang Dashan finally knew what his second uncle had found.

Yes, those were his mother’s change of clothes.

“Let’s tear it up to make a mask,” Wang Dashan said.

The Qian family members had plundered everything in the house before they left.

Besides his mother’s clothes, they probably wouldn’t be able to find any other fabric material.

True enough, Wang Laoshuan emerged empty-handed after a while.

“I can t find any cloth or mats! This Qian family is too ruthless!” Wang Laoshuan chided angrily.

It was fine if they didn’t take Madam Qian with them, but they didn’t even leave a woven bamboo sleeping mat for her!

He couldn’t help but glance at Madam Qian in the courtyard, and the hatred in Wang Laoshuan’s eyes diminished a lot.

“Then we ll just use the mat 1 brought,” Wang Dashan said.

A trace of internal conflict flashed across Wang Laoshuan’s eyes, but in the end, he didn’t object.

Tsk! They had wasted another one of their own woven bamboo mats.

“Father, come with me to dismantle one of the beds so that we can use the planks to carry her later,” Wang Dashan said again.

“Alright,” Wang Laoshuan quickly responded.

After that, the father and son entered one of the rooms in the Qian family’s house.

After a cacophony of banging noises, the headboard of one of the Qian family’s beds was taken down.

When they brought the bed headboard out, Wang Dashi had already made the masks.

The three of them put on their masks and then carried the bed headboard to the body.

As they approached, Wang Laoshuan saw Madam Qian’s corpse and almost vomited again.

Wang Dashi and Wang Dashan were also terrified.

However, Wang Dashan had no choice. He could only muster the courage and step forward with the woven bamboo mat.

He pushed the corpse of Madam Qian onto the mat while enduring the stomach-churning flies and maggots.

Unfortunately, the corpse had already decomposed badly. The moment Wang Dashan moved it, the body almost broke in half.

Upon seeing this, Wang Dashi couldn’t bear it anymore and stepped forward to help.

…..

Then, together with Wang Dashan, they placed Madam Qian on the mat and wrapped her up.

After that, the two of them lifted the mat and placed it on the bed headboard.

Following that, they each carried the front and back of the headboard and transported the body out of the house.

Wang Laoshuan quickly grabbed the three hoes.

He couldn’t be bothered by the stench anymore and caught up with the two of them. The trio then left together.

After leaving the Qian family’s courtyard, the trio moved swiftly up the mountain.

Once there, they found a shady place at the foot of the mountain and put down the headboard.

Thereafter, the trio picked up their hoes and began digging.

After they had dug deep enough, they placed Madam Qian’s corpse inside and covered it with earth.

As the body was gradually buried, the stench also faded.

After a while, the pit was filled up, and a small burial mound was built on top of it.

Following that, Wang Dashan and Wang Dashi threw the bed headboard that was used to carry the corpse a little further away, and the whole matter finally came to a close.

When he saw his oldest nephew staring in the direction of the burial mound, Wang Dashi sighed and patted Wang Dashan’s shoulder.

“Let’s go back,” he said.

Wang Dashan turned around and glanced at his second uncle.

“Mm-hmm!” He nodded his head.

The three of them then headed back to Brook Falls Village.

However, no one spoke along the way.

After returning to Brook Falls Village, the three of them instinctively went to the banks of River Ringwaters.

They only returned home after washing themselves thoroughly.

After the father and son arrived at their home, they started cooking while their tummies rumbled with hunger.

“Use the coarse flour to make pancakes. It’ll be faster this way,” Wang Dashan said.

After their meal, they still had to go into the mountains.

Wang Laoshuan was caught off guard.

Only then did he remember that when his son came back, he seemed to have brought flour.

He suppressed the discomfort in his throat. “Alright!” After answering his son, he went to get the flour..
