Chapter 870: The feng shui of this place is quite good

Although Niu Qi was extremely selfish, particularly ignorant, and very uncooperative, it must be admitted that Niu Qi did not deserve to die.

And now that Niu Qi is dead, village head Sun Physician, accountant Li Youcai, and militia captain Sun Xiangfeng are absolutely responsible.

Because if it weren't for the three of them making Niu Qi go kill the black bear as a way to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey," Niu Qi would absolutely not have died in the mountains.

So it is only natural for Sun Physician to have a gloomy face.

Fortunately, Niu Qi's popularity was truly poor, and he had offended even his own Niu clan members, and the three leaders, Sun Physician and the others, organized the villagers to search the mountains in time after learning Niu Qi was missing.

Most importantly, Sun Physician, the village head, personally entered the mountains.

Otherwise, the Sun family and the Niu family of Caoshan Village would inevitably have had a large-scale armed fight.

You must know that large-scale armed fights were not a big deal in the countryside at that time.

No way, when reasoning doesn't work, force is always the last resort to solve problems, and the only way.

Led by Li Mu and Niu Dayou, Sun Physician led everyone to Niu Qi's corpse.

Perhaps the approach of the crowd disturbed the flies and green-bottle flies, causing them to fly around, giving people a feeling of blocking the sky and the sun.

However, the flying of the flies also allowed everyone to see Niu Qi's miserable state.

At this moment, Niu Qi was already unrecognizable, and his entire head and body were covered in snow-white maggots.

In the eye sockets and mouth, including the nostrils where the nose was already gone, the density of maggots was terrifying, all dense and constantly rolling white maggot balls.

The internal organs in the stomach were all gone, revealing incomplete ribs, with dense white maggots surging and rolling back and forth inside.

The two thighs were pulled off at the knees by Li Biao, and the two thighs that were separated from the body were not far from the body, still wearing incomplete pants.

It can be seen that Li Biao actually knew what was clean and what was dirty; he even knew to use the pants as a barrier to grab the thighs and drag them out of the gully.

Seeing this scene, almost everyone's face turned very bad.

And the stench permeating the air accelerated the psychological reaction of the crowd; one by one, their throats started to heave up and down.

Soon, many people couldn't help but vomit.

Immediately after, almost everyone started retching.

Of course, there were three exceptions: Wang An, Wang Li, and Li Biao.

Although Wang An and Wang Li couldn't help but retch a few times, it wasn't as violent as others.

And Li Biao, this mythical beast, was different; he seemed as if he couldn't smell the stench at all. Not only did he not retch, but the changes in his facial expression were not particularly obvious.

Wang An highly suspected that Li Biao's nose was actually a dead nose, meaning a nose without a sense of smell.

Otherwise, it meant he liked to smell this stench.

After a while, everyone subconsciously retreated; clearly, they were overwhelmed by the stench and wanted to stay away from this place.

As everyone moved away, they slowly recovered.

Sun Physician stared straight at the direction of Niu Qi's corpse and said to everyone in a low voice:

"Everyone, speak up. Regarding Niu Qi's corpse, how should we bring him back?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other; clearly, no one could think of a good way.

Mainly because of Niu Qi's corpse's current state, it was simply invincible. Even getting close was so difficult; if one had to clean up the corpse, what kind of fierce person would be able to do it?

It is no exaggeration to say that unless forced by a gun, except for the mythical beast Li Biao, it is estimated that no one would take the initiative to touch it.

So after looking at each other, everyone fell into silence.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Physician continued:

"We are all from the same village; how can we watch Niu Qi's body be exposed in these mountains?"

Unfortunately, after Sun Physician finished speaking, everyone remained silent, and no one took the lead.

Since no one took the lead, Sun Physician was helpless, so he took out his tobacco pipe and started smoking.

The key is that this kind of thing cannot be forced; it all depends on willingness. If no one is willing, then there is definitely no way.

After a while, militia captain Sun Xiangfeng said:

"Why don't we go down the mountain and carry some lime up, and then use lime to nitrate the corpse first? Otherwise, we can't get close, and no one can handle it."

After Sun Xiangfeng finished speaking, a villager surnamed Niu said:

"If you ask me, we don't need to go down the mountain to carry lime. Just get some firewood and burn it into ash, and use the ash to nitrate it. Ash is clean and can suppress the stench, otherwise who can stand that smell?"

Another villager surnamed Li said:

"I think the feng shui of this place is quite good; burying him here directly saves trouble."

Wang An also echoed:

"Yeah, this place is by the mountains and water; I think it's quite good."

To be honest, this was Wang An's heartfelt thought, but since no one took the initiative to propose it, Wang An didn't want to propose it himself.

Anyway, people who die violently cannot enter the ancestral graveyard. If they want to enter the ancestral graveyard, they have to wait until Niu Qi's wife or Niu Qi's son dies and bring him into the ancestral graveyard.

So in Wang An's view, burying Niu Qi directly there was quite good, saving the trouble.

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li also echoed:

"I also think burying him here is quite good."

Immediately after, everyone echoed, but without exception, all agreed to bury Niu Qi directly there.

After all, no one is stupid. Compared to everyone else, direct burial is the simplest and most trouble-saving.

After everyone finished speaking, Sun Physician filled his tobacco pipe with tobacco again with a tangled face and started smoking.

And everyone continued to smoke and remain silent.

Suddenly, Sun Physician asked everyone with a tangled face:

"Regarding this matter, shouldn't we ask Niu Qi's wife for her opinion?"

Everyone blinked and stopped talking.

If this matter were to be asked to Niu Qi's wife, Niu Qi's wife would likely want to transport Niu Qi back and bury him 100 steps west of the ancestral graveyard.

Because normally, people who die violently are handled this way.

If buried in the desolate mountains, as Niu Qi's wife, she would inevitably be unable to accept it.

Sun Xiangwen hesitated and said:

"Then if she insists on taking him down the mountain, unless she collects the corpse herself, otherwise this job is disgusting, who would do it?"

It must be admitted that what Sun Xiangwen said makes a lot of sense.
