After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Oh, everyone in the village can see that the child looks like Yizhen. Chen Ergou should have noticed it too, right?

Could it be that Chen Ergou was so angry that he killed that evil creature?

Thinking of this, Wang Yugui hurriedly asked: "Aunt Zhang, the child was fine, how could he suddenly die? When did he die?"

"Oh, it was the day before yesterday at noon," Aunt Zhang sighed.

He added: "It is said that the child was playing in the yard and somehow fell into the well."

"When he was found, he had already drowned!"

Aunt Zhang sighed and said, "Oh, what a sin! Such a good child is gone just like that!"

"Ah? He fell into a well and drowned?" Wang Yugui found it a little unbelievable.

I hurriedly asked, "Why? Is there no one to look after the child? Just let him play in the yard by himself?"

"Of course someone is watching," Aunt Zhang nodded.

When Wang Yugui heard this, he thought: Oh no, the person who takes care of the child will be in big trouble. Can Wang Youcai still forgive her?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Aunt Zhang say, "Well, it's strange to say, I heard that it was Miss Xiulan who personally took the child to play in the yard that day!"

"I don't know how Miss Xiulan took care of the child. She didn't even know the child had fallen into the well and drowned. In the end, the maid only found the child when she went to fetch water!"

"Ah? Miss Xiulan brought it herself?" Wang Yugui was surprised again.

There are so many strange things in Wang Youcai's family. Logically, Wang Xiulan would not deliberately kill her own son.

But, how could it be such a coincidence that when she was taking care of the child, the child fell into the well and drowned?

Aunt Zhang sighed, "Oh, yes, I don't know what Miss Xiulan was busy with. She said she went back to her room to get something, and when she came out she didn't see the child. I thought the maid took her away."

"When she called someone to ask, she found out that the child was missing, so she started looking for him everywhere."

"I heard that they looked everywhere at first, but they didn't think to look in the well. Alas, when the little girl came to fetch water and found the child, he had already drowned!"

"Ah...Is that so?" Wang Yugui was speechless after hearing this.

This process sounds a bit absurd, but it is not impossible. Some accidents are just coincidences.

Aunt Zhang sighed and added, "Hey, everyone in the village said that this might be related to the collapse of your Wang family's ancestral hall!"

"Ah?" Wang Yugui exclaimed again

Aunt Zhang sighed again: "The collapse of the ancestral temple is no small matter!"

"The Wang Youcai family is so rich, but they are reluctant to spend money to repair the ancestral hall. How can our ancestors not be angry?"

"So, retribution has come, and a great grandson is gone!"

As Aunt Zhang was talking, Xigu came back with her two children after watching the fun. She smiled from far away in the yard and said, "Oh, I just heard from the villagers that Brother Yugui is here."

"Look at the carriage at the door, it turns out that Brother Yugui is here!"

He walked into the main room while talking and laughing.

"Hello, Sister Xi, it's me." Wang Yugui hurriedly stood up and greeted

Xigu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, brother Yugui, you take a seat!"

"Oh, I just went to Wang Youcai's house to see what was going on. His eldest grandson has already been buried!"

"Oh, Wang Youcai cried so hard, and Miss Xiulan was so sad that she fell ill."

Then he looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Hey, brother Yugui, you don't know yet, do you?"

"What a retribution! Wang Youcai's eldest grandson suddenly fell into a well and drowned in his own yard the day before yesterday!"

"Sister Xi, I just heard from Aunt Zhang," Wang Yugui said hurriedly

Then he asked, "Is Brother Ergou okay?"

“Ergou?” Xigu nodded and sighed, “Hey, Ergou is crying too!”

"But it's okay, he still has Xiaobao."

"Xiaobao?" Wang Yugui frowned.

Aunt Zhang said: "Xiaobao is Ergou's second son, also born to Miss Xiulan, and Wang Youcai's second grandson."

"Yes, Xiaobao is better than Dabao. He looks exactly like Ergou. You can tell at a glance that he is Ergou's offspring." Xigu said quickly.

Wang Yugui listened, smiled and said nothing.

Suddenly, a little boy ran in, looked at Wang Yugui and said with a smile: "Brother Yugui, you are back"

"My second uncle asked me to invite you over to talk!"

Wang Yugui took a look and laughed. He knew the little boy. He was his uncle's son, named Xiao Shunzi.

"Oh, it's Xiao Shunzi. I was just about to go see my second uncle. Why did he ask you to invite me?" Wang Yugui smiled.

Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "Oh, your second uncle has been upset about the ancestral hall these days, and he must be anxious to find you to discuss it!"

"Yes, brother Yugui, my second uncle has been coming to our house every day these past two days to ask for confirmation of your return," said Xigu with a smile.

Wang Yugui stood up with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, Sister Xi, I will go to my second uncle first!"

As he said that, he took Xiao Shunzi to go to his second uncle's house. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi pulled him straight to Wang Youcai's house: "Brother Yugui, the second uncle is at Wang Youcai's house!"

"Ah? Why did my second uncle go to Wang Youcai's house?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly.

Xiao Shunzi sighed: "Didn't our Wang family's ancestral hall collapse?"

"There are no other big houses in our clan. Only Wang Youcai's family has a large empty house."

"My second uncle asked Wang Youcai to borrow an empty house next to their house and temporarily placed the tablets of our ancestors there."

"We'll be holding a ceremony to worship our ancestors there soon!"

"Oh, is that so?" Wang Yugui nodded after hearing this.

Then he asked Xiao Shunzi, "Didn't Wang Youcai's eldest grandson just die? Is his family still holding the funeral?"

"Brother Yugui, are you talking about Dabao?" Xiao Shunzi curled his lips after hearing this.

He added: "His funeral has been completed. I heard from the adults that it is unlucky for the old to send off the young."

"Besides, Dabao died a violent death, and Wang Youcai didn't dare to hold a grand funeral."

"I stayed at home for two days, and after a Taoist priest performed a ritual, I buried him early this morning."

"The child was too young to even have a grave. I heard from the elders that if a grave is left, it would be considered that he had been a human being in the world once."

"But he is too young and hasn't accumulated any merits, so it will be difficult for him to be reborn!"

"So, not leaving him a grave is to allow him to be reborn as a new human being."

"Ah, there is such a saying, Xiao Shunzi, you know a lot." Wang Yugui listened and patted Xiao Shunzi on the shoulder with a smile.

I thought to myself: Xiao Shunzi is a clear and logical kid who seems to be quite smart.

Xiao Shunzi smiled and said, "Well, I just hang around in the village all day and listen to what the adults say!"

"Xiao Shunzi, didn't you study with Mr. Hao in the village?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly.

Xiao Shunzi looked up at Wang Yugui and said, "Brother Yugui, you are joking. My family doesn't have the money to send me to school!"
