Chapter 872: Did a good deed

Watching Niu Qi's wife crying there, everyone's face showed a very unbearable expression, and many people turned their heads away, unable to bear to look anymore.

This kind of grief of Niu Qi's wife was something almost everyone could empathize with.

She lost her husband, her children lost their father, her family lost its pillar, and the life of their mother and children would have no color in the future...

Soon, the commotion here alarmed the villagers, and many female comrades in the village ran over to help Niu Qi's wife up and supported her toward Niu Qi's house.

Various words of comfort were spoken from the mouths of these female comrades.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry, you'll ruin your health if you keep crying."

"Sister-in-law, think about it, we still have to live our lives well in the future."

"Sanfeng, you have to look forward; no matter what, we have to raise the children."

Although all the female comrades were comforting Niu Qi's wife, many of their voices were choked with sobs.

Clearly, these female comrades were infected by the extreme grief of Niu Qi's wife.

It's just that when a person is sad to a certain extent, no words can be heard, and any comfort is pale and powerless.

So Niu Qi's wife turned a deaf ear to these words and continued to wail, with no sign of stopping at all.

The thirty-odd men who entered the mountains, looking at this sad scene, almost everyone's fists were tightly clenched, but they quickly loosened.

Mainly because everyone was helpless about the situation before them.

As Niu Qi's wife slowly left with the support of a group of female comrades, Sun Physician sighed long, thought for a while, and greeted those surnamed Niu:

"All those surnamed Niu, follow me, everyone else go home."

As he spoke, Sun Physician took the lead and walked forward, and a group of people surnamed Niu followed behind.

After Sun Physician took the group away, Wang An and the others walked toward their own homes.

On the way back, Wang Li said to Wang An thoughtfully:

"Fourth Brother, you say when Niu Qi was alive, he was calculating this and that every day, almost offending everyone in our village, and I especially hated him."

Wang An looked at Wang Li and didn't speak, because Wang An knew that Wang Li hadn't finished speaking.

Seeing Wang An didn't take the lead, Wang Li continued:

"But now, seeing his wife crying like that, I feel he would have been better off alive. At least if he were alive, he could still provide food for their whole family."

Wang An never expected that Wang Li could have such compassionate thoughts.

It must be admitted that this kid Wang Li is truly quite good.

After Wang Li finished speaking, seeing Wang An didn't speak, he subconsciously asked:

"Fourth Brother, don't you have anything to say?"

Wang An glanced at Wang Li and said:

"Yeah, you're right."

Mainly because for this kind of thing, Wang An truly didn't know what to say.

Others' misery is ultimately others' business; you'll feel sad when you see it, but after it's over, you still have to live your life and do what you have to do.

After Wang An returned home, he only simply mentioned Niu Qi's matter to his family; as for Niu Qi's miserable state, Wang An didn't describe it in detail.

Mainly because saying such things would only make the family feel disgusted and uncomfortable, which can be said to have no benefit at all, so it's better not to say it. Two days later, I heard from the villagers that Niu Qi's wife finally took the advice of Sun Physician and a group of villagers surnamed Niu and buried Niu Qi's corpse on the spot in that gully.

However, according to custom, the dead should be put in a coffin.

So the Niu family members set out one after another, carrying lime, tools, and wooden boards into the mountains again, and made a coffin for Niu Qi directly in the mountains.

Then, after simply nitrating the corpse with lime, they shoveled it into the coffin and buried it.

That's right, Niu Qi's corpse—to be precise, Niu Qi's bones—was shoveled into the coffin with a shovel, mainly because everyone was afraid of getting sick or bringing disaster.

Although Niu Qi's wife wanted to do it herself, she was stopped by the Niu family members.

The reason everyone stopped Niu Qi's wife from doing it herself was because a living example had already been produced.

And this living example was the big idiot Comrade Li Biao.

Because on the night they found Niu Qi, Li Biao started having a high fever and became delirious.

Unfortunately, Li Biao's parents, the couple Li Facai, didn't even look for the barefoot doctor in the village, but invited the shaman who treats surgery to their home.

Latest novel first release!

It's not wrong for the couple to think this way; after all, since Li Biao lost a testicle and recovered, his body had always been in a healthy state.

This illness indeed happened after he came into contact with Niu Qi's corpse.

So the couple thought that Li Biao had provoked something unclean.

After the shaman came, he made a mess, killing chickens, killing dogs, and looking for donkey kicks everywhere, saying that Li Biao had bumped into something evil...

In short, Li Biao's family was tossed around by this so-called "shaman" for the whole night.

But after the night, Li Biao's condition became even more serious.

After village head Sun Physician heard about this, he took the militia and gave this "shaman" a fat beating and drove him out of the village.

Then, under Sun Physician's powerful deterrence, the couple Li Facai finally hitched a horse cart and took Li Biao to the Xing'an Township Health Center.

Arriving at the township health center, after the doctor simply asked, a shot of penicillin brought Li Biao's high fever down, and after two days of infusion in the hospital, Li Biao was discharged.

Later, through the doctor's explanation, it was learned that the reason Li Biao had a fever and illness had nothing to do with Niu Qi's corpse.

It was mainly because Li Biao took a cold shower in a hurry and wore wet clothes in the mountain wind for a long time.

Plus, Li Biao was already scared shitless and didn't eat dinner, which caused him to get sick.

It's just that Li Biao, who was already weak, didn't get reasonable medical treatment in the first place, but was tossed around by that so-called "shaman" for nothing for a whole night.

This night tossed Li Biao to the point of death, making the already weak Li Biao even weaker, which led to him staying in the township health center for three days.

Listening to the doctor, if Li Biao had taken an Analgin tablet the first time he had a fever, Li Biao wouldn't have had to go to the hospital at all...

To be honest, when Wang An heard this news, he laughed out loud like a pig.

This is truly strange things happen every year, especially this year!

However, Li Biao did do a good deed, which was to let everyone know that if you are sick, you must find a doctor first.

Thanks to "Emperor of the Great Empire" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
