Chapter 867: Covered in large white maggots

Noticing Wang Li's resentful little look, Wang An said with a smile:

"Look, how well I coordinated with you, I sent them both away directly."

Who knew Wang Li would roll his eyes at Wang An and say irritably:

"Yeah, and you almost sent me away too."

Hearing this, Wang An immediately said righteously:

"That's definitely not possible, you're my brother, I wouldn't trick you."

Only after Wang An finished saying this, he couldn't help but laugh, which directly exposed his wicked intentions.

So immediately after, Wang An praised Wang Li:

"Your brain is finally trained. Next time you argue with your brother Mu, I think you'll definitely win."

Who knew Wang Li would hum and say:

"I haven't lost before anyway."

It must be said, although Wang Li's tongue isn't as sharp as Mu Xueli's, this kid is very good at grabbing key points, often needing only one sentence to turn the tables and shut Mu Xueli up.

Seeing he couldn't fool Wang Li, Wang An directly changed the subject, saying with a wicked smile:

"Fifth, do you think they'll vomit when they see that dead person? Hehehehe."

Hearing this, Wang Li immediately put away his resentful look and also said with a wicked smile:

"I almost vomited just now, and I still feel sick thinking about it. I think they're in for it, gagagagaga."

It must be said, this feeling of tricking people is truly quite satisfying.

After the brothers laughed wickedly for a while, Wang Li suddenly stopped smiling and said:

"Fourth Brother, I suspect that dead person is nine times out of ten Niu Qi."

Wang An was stunned and subconsciously said:

"That shouldn't be, right? Counting it all up, Niu Qi has only been missing for 4 days. In 4 days, how could he rot to that extent?"

Wang Li shook his head and said:

"I heard them telling old stories before, saying that Old Lady Niu, who died in our village two years ago, was just like that before she died."

Telling old stories actually means telling old tales; to be precise, it means telling some dusty, long-forgotten things.

The reason for the saying "telling old stories" is mainly because entertainment in this era was very scarce, so a group of people would gather together to listen to older people tell stories.

It must be said, it wasn't until television became popular that "telling old stories" gradually decreased.

Hearing Wang Li mention Old Lady Niu, Wang An subconsciously thought of that lonely old lady.

Old Lady Niu's surname wasn't Niu; her late husband's surname was Niu, and she wasn't Old Master Niu's original wife, but a concubine.

Don't know why, Old Lady Niu had no children her whole life, so no one took care of her in her old age.

A simple impression flashed by, and Wang An asked:

"Did Old Lady Niu die? What was she like before she died? How come I didn't know?"

Wang Li was stunned, because he thought Wang An knew about this, so he said:

"She definitely died, it's been two years, right? I also heard it from them, saying that before Old Lady Niu died..."

Immediately after, Wang Li told the story he had heard.

It turned out Old Lady Niu also died during the hottest time of the year, which was summer. It is said that on the morning she died, she even borrowed a sieve from her neighbor.

But by the time the sun was about to set in the afternoon, she still hadn't returned the sieve, so her neighbor went to her house to get it.

Unfortunately, when the neighbor arrived at her house, she found her lying on the kang, already stiff.

Of course, if a person dies, the body will become stiff.

But Old Lady Niu was already attracting flies and had maggots.

In other words, although Old Lady Niu's time of death was uncertain, it was certain that from the time she borrowed the sieve in the morning until she was found dead by her neighbor, it was no more than 12 hours.

And in these mere 12 hours, a person had maggots; it's just that fast.

After listening to Wang Li's account, Wang An couldn't help but feel it was incredible.

Mainly because this kind of thing, whether in Wang An's past life or this life, he had never paid attention to and had never studied, so Wang An really didn't know these things.

However, it is worth noting that if things were really as Wang Li described, then the corpse in the small gully was very likely Niu Qi.

Just as Wang An was trying hard to recall Niu Qi's obvious features, he heard Wang Li continue:

"Fourth Brother, you say it's also quite strange. Just two days ago, didn't my mother take a few small pheasants from your house? One of them died of some illness, and before it stopped breathing, there were a few flies nearby, not a single green-bottle fly. As soon as it stopped breathing, the green-bottle flies immediately flew over."

Wang An listened, eyes wide, and asked with a face full of surprise:

"Is this thing that impressive? Then why haven't we seen this happen with all the mountain animals we've killed? The other day we killed dozens of wild boars, and I didn't see many green-bottle flies. Later, when you brought people back, I only saw a few, and the number wasn't high."

Wang Li also said with a puzzled face:

"Yeah, this thing is also quite impressive."

Just as Wang An and Wang Li were discussing the problem, they saw Li Mu constantly retching "Aow," "Aow," and walking toward Wang An and Wang Li.

But what was strange was that Li Biao didn't come back with him.

Soon, Li Mu walked up to Wang An and Wang Li, and without time to speak, Li Mu started retching in front of them.

At this moment, Li Mu's face was flushed red from retching, tears were streaming down, and he was constantly coughing, looking as if he had collapsed.

To be honest, seeing Li Mu's miserable state, Wang An and Wang Li actually felt a bit of sympathy.

After a long while, Li Mu gradually calmed down, but he looked listless, as if he might faint at any moment.

Only then did Wang Li curiously ask:

"Second Brother Li, where is Li Biao? Why didn't he come back?"

It would have been better not to mention Li Biao; at the mention of the two words "Li Biao," Li Mu started retching again, and the intensity of the retching was even worse than before.

Watching Li Mu retch again, Wang An and Wang Li looked at each other in dismay.

Mainly, what disgusting thing did Li Biao do again? To be able to make Li Mu retch like this?

After another long while, perhaps he had vomited enough—to be precise, his stomach was empty and he couldn't vomit anything—only then did Li Mu say listlessly:

"That big idiot Biao, he, damn it, went to drag the corpse, and then the corpse's leg broke, and Biao got covered in large white maggots..."

"Ugh," "Ugh," "Ugh"... Before he could finish speaking, Li Mu started vomiting again.
