Chapter 86 Dead Man, Shoveling Snow
The patrolling soldiers were used to it. Since the weather turned cold, countless victims froze to death every day. However, they could not let them into the city because the orders from above were not to let them in.
The bodies of the dead were carried away by them every day and buried in a large pit at random. Who can be blamed for this? Only God can be blamed.
The next day, Qiao Chao and his team set out again early in the morning. Mr. Liang was to be buried today, and Qiao Dashan was one of the coffin bearers.
As for Qiao Chao and Qiao Er, they needed to dig a hole. The Liang family planned to bury the old man in the mountains. It was a long way to go, and it was still snowing today, so the road was not easy to walk on. In short, it was very difficult.
Zhen Yue didn't go, so she didn't know what was going on. Little Achu spent the whole day eating and sleeping, or giggling at Zhen Yue. He seemed very carefree. Recently, Zhen Yue had fed him some lotus root powder and the like, so he didn't need to be fed milk all day.
On the other side, Qiao Chao and his men had finally dug the pit. Here, Qiao Dashan and his men were carrying the coffin up the mountain, followed by the entire Liang family, who were wearing white clothes and white cloth on their heads, and they were all crying very sadly.
Zhen Yue heard the suona and crying sounds at home, and Qiao Chenshi heard them too. She seemed to be infected and wiped her eyes, "Uncle Liang is such a good person. He looked very energetic before. Alas."
Mrs. Qiao Chen called him Uncle Liang, so Zhen Yue and the others had to call him Grandpa Liang.
Everyone over there struggled to carry the coffin up the mountain, but because of the heavy snow, the snow was so thick that it was difficult for people to walk, not to mention carrying a heavy coffin. But this was a big deal, so no one complained, and many people came to help.
When they finally buried the person and were walking back, they suddenly heard a scream and a few moments later they saw someone rolling down the mountain.
Qiao Chao and Qiao Er were still at the back and had no idea what was going on. Finally, they found that the Liang family members were quarreling again on their way back, and there was even a shoveling incident, and someone was pushed down.
The person is fine at the moment, but his legs seem to be broken and his head is bruised.
Just as Qiao Chao and his team were about to go down the mountain and go home, someone else came over and shouted, "Ding Er is dead!"
"Ah?" Everyone was in an uproar.
Qiao Chao and the others rushed to Ding's house and found Ding Er lying dead on the bed. Ding Er's house was already shabby and he had no parents. He was the only one in the family. On the ground on one side, the wood had not been completely burned. Someone went into the room for a while and then felt uncomfortable and left.
The village chief has been very busy these days. Now someone has died in the village again, and no one knows how he died.
A doctor was called quickly and after examination, it was found that the man died because he lit a fire in the house to keep warm and closed the doors and windows.
The doctor said, "You can't light a fire in a closed room. People can easily die inside, poisoned by the gas."
"Ah? Is burning wood in this house poisonous?" Some people are very scared because their family often does this?
Doctor: "It's best to open the doors and windows, and don't do it in a closed room."
Ding Er had no family, and no one was there to see him off when he died. In the end, the village chief had no choice but to have someone dig a grave and bury him. After all, he couldn't have a glorious funeral like Grandpa Liang.
It was late when Joe came back to them. He felt like he had been busy all day and was frozen.
"The doctor said that we can't light a fire in the house. People will die." Qiao Er said as soon as he came back.
Qiao Chao: "It means you can't light a fire with doors and windows closed."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Qian: "Didn't the sister-in-law say that before?" Not only that, but she also had to put a bowl of water aside.
Qiao Er: "It seems that other people don't know. For example, Ding Er was warming himself by the fire in the house at night, and then he died. Now the village chief has gone door to door to tell everyone not to close the doors and windows when warming themselves by the fire. There have been a lot of things going on in the past two days. People also said that Grandpa Liang died uneasy, so they picked up Ding Er and took him away."
Qian: "...Isn't that a stretch? What's the relationship between Grandpa Liang and Ding Er? Why did he take anyone else? It's obviously an accident."
“Isn’t that what other people said?”
Zhen Yue thought to herself, isn't it just carbon dioxide poisoning that killed him? It seems that the people here don't know.
"Has no one ever said this before? Has nothing like this ever happened before?" Zhen Yue wondered.
Qiao Chenshi: "It should have happened, but we just didn't know about it. As for before, it seems that no one in the village would light a fire in the house at night. The main reason is that they are afraid of burning the house down."
"It's been really cold these days, so everyone is like this, right? This year is much colder than usual, and it has never snowed like this before."
There was a layer of snow outside the house, and after Qiao Chao came back to rest, he cleared the snow in the yard.
The snow didn't stop until the evening. However, the next day, the village chief came over and called people again. It turned out that the county magistrate had sent people to ask the able-bodied men in each village to shovel snow on the roadside. If they didn't want to do it, they had to pay.
The Qiao family did not pay the money, so Qiao Dashan, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er all went out with shovels. Qiao San was not old enough, so no one allowed him to go out and he stayed at home to teach Xiaohua and the others to read.
Now Xiaohua and her friends can already recognize many words, and they also know to practice writing on the ground or write on the table with water. As for practicing with paper, that is not allowed because it would be too expensive. Now the Qiao family is not rich enough to use paper casually.
There is no food to eat when you go to shovel snow, so you have to bring your own food. However, the food you bring in the morning on such a cold day will be cold by noon, so Qiao Chen originally wanted Qiao San to bring some food and water to Qiao Dashan and the others at noon, but Qiao San had diarrhea, so Zhen Yue said, "I'll go. You just help look after little Achu."
"Okay then, be careful."
"Ah."
Zhen Yue was carrying a backpack with a wooden box and three bamboo tubes in it, wrapped in thick cotton cloth to keep them warm. Zhen Yue walked very fast. As her supernatural powers recovered more, her physical condition also became better.
As she walked along, Zhen Yue met many middle-aged men shoveling snow on the road. She also saw some women, but not many. When she passed by, people looked at her from time to time, but Zhen Yue ignored them. She wrapped her face with a cloth and walked quickly.
After walking for about quarter of an hour, she finally saw Qiao Dashan and the other three, who were shoveling snow vigorously. Some of them were already sitting aside to rest and eating cold, hard biscuits.
When Zhen Yue walked over, Qiao Chao noticed that the person looked up and realized it was her, "Why are you here?" Qiao Chao was a little surprised, because he felt that Zhen didn't seem to like going out much. Apart from going to the vegetable garden more frequently, she rarely went to the market.
It's not her job to deliver meals when there are other people at home. Qiao Chao thought something happened at home, so he threw the shovel aside and walked forward immediately, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?"
Zhen Yue shook her head and put down the backpack. "It's okay. I just brought you some food. My third brother has a stomachache." As for Qian and Qiao Chen, she was afraid that something might happen to them in this weather.
Qiao Chao helped her take off the backpack and held her arm with one hand, "Then go to the side and rest first."
"Ah."
