Chapter 187
"Oh!"

The elongated shadow by the river is reflected on the river surface, the staggering and slightly swaying figure,
It seemed to be pushed heavily into the river, and the figure fell from the river to the surface of the river.

smashed the moon reflected on the river,
It gradually sank toward the bottom of the river.

Chen Lun's eyes were calm, and he fell on the figure who was pushed down the river,
That figure, right in front of Chen Lun and the other three, sank slowly, with hands scrambling by the side,

He opened his mouth and kept pouring some water.

Gradually struggled frantically, but it had no effect, it just muddied the surrounding water,

It kept sinking down, sank to the silt at the bottom of the river, and the hand that stretched out and grabbed at the side seemed to lose strength, and the movement gradually slowed down, hanging down,
Eyes still open, lying on the mud at the bottom of the river, mouth still open, lost movement,

The water in the river is not fast enough, it seems that it can no longer push the corpse of that figure, the corpse just fell on the silt at the bottom of the river, but the river is level with the silt overflowing from the bottom of the river, the muddy water is rolling the body of the corpse clothing.

"It's Kang Zhouquan, the husband who has fallen into a trickster."

"Before falling into the river, he should have drunk a lot of wine."

Chen Lun's side, Shu Rou moved his feet, stepped forward, lowered his gaze,
Looking at the drowned body at the bottom of the river, he spoke aloud.

Chen Lun's gaze was calm, and he naturally lowered his gaze to the face of the corpse.
The face of this corpse was that of the 'creepy' husband Kang Zhouquan, who looked to be in his thirties, much older than when he saw it at the entrance of the village.

On the face that had been solidified, there was still some redness after drinking that hadn't faded away.

displayed in the data.

Kang Zhouquan drowned.

Chen Lun raised his gaze a little more and landed on the river above his head,
Next to him, Shu Rou, who was looking at the corpse, muttered to Rao Chang that he didn't know something, and also looked towards the river above his head one after another.

on the river,
Already quiet again, the river calm again,
The smashed moon on the river surface has gradually gathered again, and with the slow flow of the river, it swayed slightly on the river surface.

It seems that beside the river, standing and approaching figure,

The slightly slender shadow of that figure was elongated by the moonlight and reflected on the river.

The shadow on the river first paused.

It seemed that the owner of the shadow was standing by the river, paused, and looked towards the river.

The figure standing by the river turned around again,
At the bottom of the river, no sound was heard.

In the silence, the shadow reflected by the moon on the river also climbed onto the bank along with the person walking away from the river.

The surroundings became more and more quiet.

Chen Lun turned his head back, and Shu Rou and Rao Chang looked away, looking at the corpse at the bottom of the river, rubbing their chin and pondering some inexplicable things.

Chen Lun's eyes fell in front of him, standing calmly,

Around, the environment gradually began to change.

A little farther away, the pervasive darkness will submerge in this river,
While the surrounding scene is changing, there are still some sounds around.

"...This is because he drank too much wine and fell to the bottom of the river and drowned."

"Most likely, no one heard any shouting at night. They must have been drunk. When they saw the light in the water, they plucked one end into the river."

"...If you want me to say, you deserve to be drowned if you drink too much. It's not a good thing. If you beat your wife while you're alive, you'll be ruthless."

"Has anyone gone to inform that wife Shi?"

"Someone yelled in the past. The daughter-in-law should be busy working in the field right now."

"...Hey, you said, when Kang Zhouquan died, his wife and child were the only ones left in his family."

"Hey, people don't have parents. When the time comes, when people leave, just go home. Maybe they leave this child here and care about his child's life or death."

"Didn't you hear me, that daughter-in-law Shi ran out with Kang Zhouquan, so how can she have the face to go back now..."

The last words sounded around again,
The surrounding environment has gradually completed the change.

……

"……Is it tasty?"

"Well, it's delicious."

This is a main room with the door open.

In the main room, it was tidy, but there were still some sundries beside one wall, used hoes, leftover fertilizers, and kettles that boiled some water.

A little farther inside, there is a somewhat old square table.

At the table, a three or four-year-old boy and a woman were sitting, eating.

The three of Chen Lun appeared in this main room, by the open door of the main room,
Through the open door next to the house, some light from the day is reflected in the house from the outside.

It's just that there is no wind outside the house, and naturally there is no wind blowing into the house.

Around, a little quiet.

Only in this main room, the voices of the boy and the woman at the table can be heard.

Chen Lun stood by the door of the main room, his eyes were calm, falling in front of him,
At the table, the woman eating is naturally 'sly', Shi Xiuya, that boy is Shi Xiuya's child,

Shi Xiuya held the bowl of noodles in her hand, and ate with chopsticks,

The boy was holding the noodle bowl on the table, holding a pair of chopsticks that were still a little long for him, and buried his head into the noodle bowl.

Shi Xiuya was wearing old clothes with long sleeves, her hair was simply tied behind her head, and her face and face had no longer looked like she did when she was at the entrance of the village. She seemed to be much older, far beyond her age,
The boy was wearing clean children's clothing, hanging, sitting on the stool and had already put on shoes on his feet that could not reach the ground.

"Mother."

The boy lowered his head, eating the noodles in the bowl, then raised his head suddenly, and called out to his mother.

"Ok?"

Shi Xiuya's skin was already a little rough, with a smile on her wrinkled face, she looked at her child.

"It's nice not to have Dad."

The boy was still holding the chopsticks in his hand, and pestered them in the bowl, and said in a serious way.

Shi Xiuya paused for a while,
"why?"

Picking up the noodles in the bowl again, Shi Xiuya asked aloud.

"I'm afraid of Daddy."

"He'll knock my face off."

The boy lowered his head slowly and spoke aloud.

Although he is still young, he can already remember a lot of things.

Shi Xiuya paused, smiled at the boy again, and reached out to stroke the boy's hair.

"It's all right. Let's eat."

"Ok!"

Holding chopsticks, Shi Xiuya and the boy each ate noodles.

"After dinner, mom needs to go to the street, can you go with mom?"

Shi Xiuya ate the chopstick noodles, and said something to the boy again.

The boy stopped his chopsticks again, looked up at his mother,
"Mom, can I not go..."

The boy looked at his mother and asked aloud.

"what happened?"

Shi Xiuya asked in a gentle voice.

"...I want to stay at home and play with them. I didn't go to play with them yesterday. They said they won't play with me anymore...I talked to them for a long time, and they agreed to play with me today ...Can I not go?"

The boy felt aggrieved, and said to his mother aloud.

Shi Xiuya paused,
"That's fine, then mom won't go to town today, we'll go tomorrow, and you can play with them at home today."

Shi Xiuya said to the boy with a smile.

"thanks Mom."

The boy is a little happy.

Shi Xiuya showed some smiles on her face again,

"Let's eat."

The boy and Shi Xiuya had breakfast at the dining table.

Standing by the door of the main room, Chen Lun's eyes were calm, and fell on Shi Xiuya and the boy.

Shu Rou next to her was very calm, one stared at the boy and Shi Xiuya, the other raised her head and turned her head back and forth, as if thinking about something.

And at this time,
Outside the door, there were some small voices resembling whispers,
Chen Lun never turned his eyes away, but Rao Chang and Shu Rou turned their heads and looked outside the house.
