Chapter 811
“Sister, I’ll take it home for you.”
“No need, it’s getting late, you should go back quickly,” Lin Lan took her bag, waved to Liu Chuncai and went southwards.
When she passed the back of the village, she made a special observation. It was indeed not as good as the southern part of the village. Not only was the road here particularly bumpy, but it was also very dirty after a rainfall.
Lin Lan carefully avoided the animal urine. When she passed a certain alley, she heard cries inside. At first, it was a suppressed voice, but suddenly it burst into panicked wails, which scared Lin Lan. Generally speaking, other than a funeral occuring at home, there was no other occasion that could possibly wring out such grief-stricken emotions in a cry.
She stopped.
Sure enough, a woman ran out of that family soon, shouting, “He’s dead, he’s dead, hurry up and report the death! Ask someone to store the body and hold the funeral.”
Upon shouting like this, the neighbours suddenly ran out and went over to that family.
Soon, someone else appeared, holding a shovel or something else in his hand.
Originally, Lin Lan was quite moved, thinking that when someone died, it seemed like the neighbours were very willing to help out. But seeing their faces full of excitement, she was a little puzzled.
What was this about?
There was also someone holding a soup pot in her hand who greeted Lin Lan, “Oh, isn’t this the Propaganda Team Leader Lin? Come quickly, Liu Erhu is dead, you should go and help.”
Lin Lan wondered to herself, Didn’t Liu Erhu have a brother? Why did outsiders need to be so enthusiastic?
The woman smiled inexplicably and didn’t say anything else before she ran away with the things in her hand.
