5. Chapter 5

The blue sky was vast and pure, clear and clear, without a single cloud; The sky was as blue as a wash, and the brilliant sunlight was shining down through the gaps in the dense willow leaves, forming beams of thick and thin pillars of light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The girl walking in the shade of the suburbs was dressed plainly, with two braids on her shoulders and caressing them with her hands from time to time; A kind smile from a pair of dripping big eyes. She, walking alone on the boulevard, talking to the flowers; with grass as a companion; Smelling flowers; Sing softly. There is no gorgeous dress, but the plain clothes are so pure and free. Walking happily into the flowers, dancing and laughing. A colorful butterfly landed on her shoulder, the girl turned her head slightly to stare at the butterfly, and then showed a kind and cute smile and pouted at the butterfly, pouting her small mouth with a proud atmosphere. The girl stretched out a finger to try to touch the butterfly, the butterfly flew up her fingertips affectionately, the girl's palm moved slightly, turned a finger into a palm, and gently blew on the butterfly, and the butterfly fluttered a few times and flew to the sea of flowers. The girl made a cute grimace in the direction where the butterfly was flying, and the bright smile was still reflected on her face, looking so innocent.

"Little Han ......" (a middle-aged woman shouting her name in the distance)

Hearing the voice, the girl responded with a smile in the direction of the voice: "Mother......"

"Xiao Han! Your father has an accident, go and see with your mother! The middle-aged woman shouted in a panic.

"Mother, what's wrong with Dad, what's wrong?"

"Your father went to Su's house for a banquet and somehow got poisoned."

Xiao Han was startled when he heard the news, and hurriedly followed his mother to the city.

The eight people who died of poisoning at the Su family's wedding have all been carried back to the mansion by officers and soldiers. Eight bodies were displayed side by side at the entrance of the government office waiting to be claimed by their families. Xiao Han followed his mother to the front of the government office, and looked at his father lying motionless on the ground, Xiao Han was already at a loss. How can my father, who is fine when he goes out in the morning, say that it is gone? The bad news was like a bolt from the blue. The father is the pillar of the family, how can the father and mother live without the father! Xiao Hanniang said while crying!

The officers and soldiers who took care of the corpse just arrogantly said to Xiao Han's mother and son to carry the corpse away quickly, without showing any sympathy. Xiao Han knew in his heart that he couldn't just carry his father back, there must be an explanation for his father's death, a big living person was fine when he went out in the morning, and now what appeared in front of them was a cold corpse, who could bear this, how could the family accept it!

Xiao Hanniang just cried, Xiao Hanniang, a woman who has been a bookmaker all her life, didn't know how to tell the grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart, and she didn't know how to express what she thought in her heart except crying. Although Xiao Han grew up in a poor area since she was a child, she couldn't stop her tears when she was sensible, and the grief of losing her father made her involuntarily cry, but she knew in her heart that now she had to go to the mansion to find Master Li to theorize.

Xiao Han strode towards the mansion, and as soon as he stepped into the mansion, he was stopped by the officers and soldiers. "Why did you come here as a wild girl?" The officers and soldiers yelled at Xiao Han arrogantly. Xiao Han was not afraid of the angry rebuke of the officers and soldiers, and she said to the officers and soldiers in a steady tone:

"My father died in vain, and the people's daughter wants to ask Master Li clearly, how can she just leave, can't the government be the master of the people?" As he spoke, tears were still falling.

The officers and soldiers didn't care about Xiao Han's story, and when they saw Xiao Han pestering people like this, they pushed Xiao Han to the ground. "If you don't leave, you will confiscate the corpse and return to the mansion to dissect it, don't think about going back." The officers and soldiers roared at Xiao Han.

When Xiao Han saw this formation, he knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to see Master Li. There must be something strange about my father's death, since my father was poisoned in the Su family, then go to the Su family to ask clearly, and it is the first thing to carry my father home for burial first.

Xiao Han helped his mother up and persuaded her mother to carry her father's body home first, and her mother had no choice but to do so. So the mother and daughter carried their father home.

The sudden change made Xiaohan and his mother feel painful. Xiao Han didn't want his father to attend the Su family's wedding, his father wanted to go to the Su family to see how the rich man married his daughter-in-law, what kind of dress the bride was, and when Xiao Han married in the future, he would do what others did, and his father always wanted Xiao Han to marry decently.

The honest parents didn't make any friends, no one came to visit their father when he died, the lonely mother and daughter didn't know how to bury their father, and they didn't even know where to buy a coffin.

The corpse can't be left for too long, Xiao Han knows very well in his heart that he must buy a coffin as soon as possible to bury his father. She asked her mother to take out all her belongings, saying that they were actually only a dozen taels of silver, and Xiaohan's family was not rich.

Xiao Han took the money and went to the city to find a coffin shop, and his mother stayed behind to guard his father.

Xiao Han looked for a coffin shop from street to street, don't look at her living in the capital, but she has never been to a bustling neighborhood, her family has just moved in and not long ago, and the family of three is doing odd jobs for the landlord's family in order to live. Xiao Han searched for it one by one, her heart was anxious and helpless, she had to cry several times, but she still held back strongly. Every time tears rolled in her eyes, she had to tell herself to be strong, and now she had to support this family. But she still didn't want to believe the fact that her father was gone, and her father, who had braided her hair in the morning, was dead at noon, which made her feel like she was in a nightmare. As she walked, she thought about the days she had with her father before, and remembered those warm pictures passing by in front of her one by one, and her tears finally fell again.

After walking for a long time, Xiao Han finally found the coffin shop. She had only enough money to buy a coffin of inferior materials, and the carpenter told her to come and get it tomorrow.

When he returned home in the evening, Xiao Han was tired from lying in bed. It's like a dream to think back to what happened in one day. She really didn't want to believe the fact that her father had died. There was no light in the silent night, and only the sound of one's own breathing could be heard in the dark room. In this environment, Xiao Han couldn't help crying again, crying and crying as she remembered the cause of her father's death. My father was poisoned in the Su family, and since the government didn't care, I had to go to the Su family to find out. But today's scene at the gate of the government made her retreat again, as the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials, and the poor do not fight with the rich. The government doesn't care about it, there must be an inside story in it, how can you ask if you go to the Su family to ask? The result must be the same as in the government today. But the cause of my father's death must be investigated, and I can't let my father die in vain so unexplained! Thinking about it, Xiao Han fell asleep.

As soon as it was dawn, the rooster had begun to crow, and the landlord's dog was already howling. Xiao Han got up and went to his mother's room to ask his mother to get up to get the coffin, and when he pushed the door open, Xiao Han was stunned, and his mother committed suicide by holding his father's corpse and drinking pesticides. The mother hugged her father's body tightly with both hands, and her mouth was still foaming at the mouth. Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Han collapsed to the ground.
