Li Yuyan put Lin Xiao down on the newly cleaned floor with a sad face.
The village chief walked tremblingly to Lin Xiao's side, looking at her face as pale as paper, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Ma Guihua also came over, and when she saw the lifeless Lin Xiao, she couldn't help feeling sad, covering her face and crying bitterly.
The other villagers also had red eyes.
They watched Lin Xiao grow up.
She led the whole village onto the road to wealth.
He also led them to escape from the flooding floods.
But now, she was lying on the cold ground, lifeless, even her breathing was weak, as if she had no life force.
The village chief couldn't help but kneel on the ground, stretched out his trembling hand to touch Lin Xiao's cold cheek, and murmured sadly:
"Child, child, wake up, wake up, open your eyes and look at us, are you really willing to leave us?"
The villagers could not help but burst into tears.
When Lan Lian, who was cleaning the mud at home, heard the news of Lin Xiao's sudden death, her pretty face became twisted and ferocious, and the broom in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
She rushed out of the house like crazy and saw a group of villagers crying around Lin Xiao. She couldn't help but roared:
"Whatever you are howling, my boss is not dead, he is alive and well, you are not allowed to cry to me! Do you hear me? You are not allowed to cry to me!!"
Her hysterical appearance shocked the villagers surrounding Lin Xiao, but no one blamed her. Instead, they all looked at her with pity, as if they were grieving for her.
Lan Lian was stunned when she saw the villagers' reactions. She stared blankly at the villagers, her eyes gradually dimming.
She walked towards Lin Xiao step by step, bent down and squatted down.
Looking at Lin Xiao's bloodless face, Lan Lian felt heartbroken beyond words.
This was the Lin Xiao she knew back then, her Lin Xiao.
How proud, proud and radiant she was!
But now, at this moment, she finally realized what life was worse than death.
Lan Lian stretched out her slender white fingers and gently touched Lin Xiao's pale cheek.
This was an almost greedy admiration, and she wanted to touch her like this forever.
Her eyes slowly moved to the bleeding cloth on Lin Xiao's arm, and she recalled that Lin Xiao told her last night that she had a headache, but she did not think that it was because of the wound infection, and she immediately regretted it and wanted to bite it.
Cut off the tip of your tongue.
It's all his own fault. If he had been more careful, perhaps Lin Xiao would not have suffered this bad fate.
She lowered her head, tears rolling down her cheeks one after another and onto the back of Lin Xiao's hands.
When the villagers saw Lan Lian's painful look, they couldn't help but start crying softly again.
Li Yuyan walked to Lan Lian with sadness and comforted her softly:
"If the head of the house has a soul in heaven, he will definitely not want to see you like this."
Lan Lian looked up at Li Yuyan, her face full of tears:
"Sister Yuyan, tell me, all of this is fake, right? You are joking together, right?"
Li Yuyan shook his head.
At this moment, there was an explosion in Lan Lian's mind, and her body swayed and she almost fell.
She clenched her fists tightly, tears dripped down, and the corners of her mouth raised a sad arc.
Li Yuyan looked at Lan Lian's sad look, and felt sour in his heart. He walked to Lan Lian's side and supported Lan Lian's shaky body.
"Be strong, we have to help the head of the household organize a glorious funeral!"
When Lan Lian heard Li Yuyan's words, she grasped Li Yuyan's arm tightly as if she had grasped the last straw:
"Yes, we still have to organize a funeral. The leader likes to be lively, so we have to make it grand and invite all the respectable people from the nearby villages to come over and let them see our leader's final appearance!"
Li Yuyan nodded.
"That's right! Xiao Linzi must be buried with great splendor!"
The villagers expressed their approval one after another.
The village chief couldn't help but nodded happily when he saw everyone's high morale.
The village chief looked at Li Yuyan and Lan Lian again and sighed:
"Don't worry. After the funeral, I will find a way to talk to the government office and find a way for you two to stay in Linjia Village instead of marrying somewhere else."
This is the only thing that the village chief can do for Lin Xiao.
…
Soon, with the help of everyone, every household in Linjia Village was hung with white cloth, making the whole village look very sad.
Lan Lian quietly looked at Lin Xiao, who was lying motionless on the wooden door covered with a white cloth, her eyes flashing with tears. She kept choking and tears kept welling up in her eyes.
Seeing such sad Lan Lian, Gao Jinyu who was standing aside couldn't bear it. He pulled Li Yuyan aside and whispered:
"How about we tell her the truth of the matter? Looking at her like this, I'm really afraid that she will do something stupid."
"No, the fish hasn't taken the bait yet. We must not alert the snake. What if the fish escapes?"
Gao Jin thought about it and felt it made sense, so he stopped thinking and could only try his best to keep an eye on Lan Lian to prevent her from doing anything stupid.
Lan Lian sat quietly next to Lin Xiao, looking at Lin Xiao lying on the wooden door, covered with white cloth, recalling all the past, her big tears couldn't stop falling, and she kept using her sleeves
I wiped it, but still couldn't control my emotions.
She never imagined that Lin Xiao would leave her completely in this way!
"Look at you, your eyes are red from crying."
Gao Jin took out a handkerchief made of cotton and handed it to Lan Lian. Lan Lian looked at the handkerchief and didn't take it. Instead, she wiped her tears with her sleeves.
Seeing this, Gao Jin took back the handkerchief with some embarrassment and stuffed it into his pocket.
Lan Lian finished wiping her tears and then looked up at Gao Jin. Seeing Gao Jin staring at her, she coughed a few times to hide the uneasiness on her face.
"Master Gao Da, thank you for your help with my master's funeral."
"Lin Xiao and I are dead brothers, and I should take care of his funeral."
Gao Jin said, looked at Lan Lian again, and said with emotion:
"Lin Xiao is so lucky to have such a loving wife like you!"
His words made Lan Lian feel even more uncomfortable. She turned her face away, not daring to look into Gao Jin's eyes.
"I'm going to burn paper money."
Upon seeing this, Gao Jin knew that he had lost his temper and quickly changed the topic.
Lan Lian hummed.
Then the two people started busy themselves.
Lan Lian guarded Lin Xiao, while Gao Jin knelt down in front of the brazier and burned paper.
But Li Yuyan, who was there just now, has disappeared.
…
Suddenly, the courtyard door was pushed open recklessly, and then a man broke in.
When he saw the white cloth all over the room, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked into the main hall.
Lan Lian looked at the man in front of her and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Isn’t this Lin Da, who has been missing for a long time?
