For a long time, there was still no response......

Qin Chu didn't give up, and was just about to push the door in, when he heard a voice coming from behind.

"Who are you looking for?"

Huo Mian turned his head and saw a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, dark and tall.

With a basketball in his hand, he was sweating profusely, and he seemed to have just come back from a game of ball.

"Little brother, we want to find the owner of this house, have you seen him?" Huo Mian asked politely.

"We are distant relatives of Uncle Yang. Qin Chu added.

"You're looking for Grandpa Yang....... The little boy's expression was a little strange.

"Isn't he at home? I heard he came back the other day. Qin Chu said.

He ...... It's dead. The little boy hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"What, dead?" Huo Mian and Qin Chu exclaimed at the same time.

"The night before yesterday, it should have been buried yesterday, but we have a custom here, no burial is not out of seven and eight, that is, it cannot be buried on the seventh and eighth days of the first month, so we have to wait until tomorrow, Grandpa Yang has no relatives, just a niece in the south, it seems that life is not very good, he has no money alone, the village chief said that the body will be put in the morgue in the town first, and it will be cremated directly in the burial tomorrow. ”

"How could a good person die?" Huo Mian was extremely disappointed for a moment, and the clue that he had finally found was strangely broken.

The little boy scratched the back of his head and said, "I don't know, my mother and they all said that Grandpa Yang committed suicide by drinking medicine, because he had no children and couldn't go back to his niece's house, so he couldn't think about it, but I don't think so, because Grandpa Yang was a very easy-going and optimistic person, and he played chess with me the day before he died." ”

Huo Mian and Qin Chu both fell into a deep silence......

"Ah Cheng, what are you still bothering about, coming back for dinner?" a woman in her thirties shouted from afar.

"Got it, Mom. After saying that, the boy turned his head and said, "I won't tell you, my mother called me home for dinner." ”

"Thank you, brother. Huo Mian nodded at him.

"Looks like we're late....... Qin Chu said in a low voice.

"yes...... It's really weird that he died. ”

"What do you want to do now?" Qin Chu asked for Huo Mian's opinion.

"I want to go to the village chief's house. ”

"That's what I mean, let's go. ”

Qin Chu and Huo Mian finally did not enter Uncle Yang's old house, but inquired about the location of the village chief's house, and went directly to a big house built of iron tiles at the entrance of the village, this is the village chief's person, it is said that the village chief's surname is Zhu, his popularity is not bad, and he is quite prestigious in the village.

"Who are the two ......?"

"Ah...... You, we are a distant relative of Uncle Yang, I heard that he came back a few days ago, so I wanted to come and see him, but I heard that he died, what is going on?" Huo Mian pretended to be Uncle Yang's relative according to Qin Chu.

When the village chief heard about his relatives, he seemed to relax a lot and invited them into the house.

"What kind of relatives are you, why haven't I heard him mention it, doesn't he only have one niece?" The village chief looked at Qin Chu and Huo Mian suspiciously.

"Ah, that's right, Uncle Yang and my family have some old relatives, they haven't moved around for many years, and now my parents want to find some relatives in their hometown, so they asked me to come over and have a look, I asked Uncle Yang before He has come back from the south, so I want to come and visit today." ”

"Oh, that's right...... Then you are late, and he is dead. ”

"I heard about it, but what the hell is going on, it was so sudden, how did you die?" Qin Chu asked again about the cause of death.
