Chapter 275 Cremation
Chapter 275 Cremation
When Yang's father and others in the yard saw Lu Tianming and his group, they slowly came to their senses.
Yang Yongyan was one of the few people in the yard who looked normal. When he saw them coming, he was the first to greet them.
"Uncle Lu, how are things going over there?"
Lu Tianming nodded: "It has been dealt with. The food and other supplies in the yard have also been collected."
Yang Yongyan nodded and looked at the group of listless men in his yard.
My condition is not very good, and I haven't started to pack up the supplies yet.
Lu Tianming followed him and saw that Father Yang looked very unhappy. He walked over and asked with concern:
"Brother Yang, are you okay?"
When Yang's father saw him coming, he forced a smile.
"It's okay, just a little uncomfortable, it will be fine after a while."
Having said that, when I think of the thief I just killed, the blood that flowed out and the thief's wide-open eyes.
He just felt dizzy and his body was weak and he had no strength.
He grew up in Linshan Village and had never even killed a pig before.
This sudden murder made me feel really anxious and uneasy.
Seeing that he was in great pain, Lu Tianming called Yang Yongyan next to him.
"Yongyan, help your father to rest over there first."
Yang's father was supported by Yang Yongyan and sat next to him.
Lu Tianming called the people he brought over and started to pack up the supplies in the yard.
A group of men were moving food out, while Lu Qingqing was moving out bedding, cotton clothes and other things from the house.
Seeing this, the men in Yang Yongyan's yard felt embarrassed to rest any longer, so they all got up and started to clean up.
After getting busy, my mind stopped having random thoughts and I felt much better.
After everyone had packed up their supplies, they looked at the several large carts full of food, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.
Having food means more opportunities to survive.
But Yang's father couldn't be happy at all. Someone died in the team, and he didn't know how to explain to his family when he returned.
Yonggang is still young, has been married for only a few years, and is the only child in the family.
He brought the person out, but he couldn't bring him back alive.
Thinking of Yonggang's parents and his little girl, Yang's father felt uncomfortable again.
But not long after, he was called away to discuss something again.
In the ditch north of the village, there are still bodies of the villagers from Yinjia Village.
These days, people all care about being buried in peace.
But it was freezing cold outside and it was difficult for them to dig the soil.
After discussing with Lu Tianming, County Magistrate Yao and others, Yang's father decided to cremate the bodies of the villagers in Yinjia Village.
As for the bodies of the thieves in the yard, they planned to cremate them on the spot.
Although these thieves committed heinous crimes, they are already dead and all their sins have been eliminated.
Moreover, there are dozens of corpses after all. If they are left like this, it will be troublesome if the corpses breed epidemics when the weather gets warmer.
After the discussion, everyone started to get busy.
Lu Tianming and his team went to the north of the village and were responsible for cremating the villagers of Yinjia Village.
The remaining people in Linshan Village were responsible for collecting the bodies of the thieves from various courtyards.
When Lu Tianming and his team arrived at Beigou, the entire ditch was already covered with a layer of snow.
But the shape of the body could still be seen under the snow.
Although they had seen this kind of scene before, seeing it again still made them feel upset.
Lu Tianming sighed and whispered:
"Everyone, spread out and go to the nearby houses to see if there's any firewood, and bring as much as you can!
There might be more refugees coming later, so we have to burn all the bodies at once!"
Everyone had experienced the cannibalism scene before, and after hearing Lu Tianming's words, they reacted immediately.
Everyone silently decided to bring more firewood.
The group quickly dispersed and searched the nearby houses.
Fortunately, the gang of thieves did not move all the firewood in the village.
Especially the households in the north of the village, there are a lot of firewood piled in their yards.
These were originally used by them to keep warm in winter, but now they are used on them in another form.
By the time everyone brought the firewood over, Lu Tianming and the few men who stayed behind had already gone to the ditch and dug away the layer of snow on top of the corpse.
In the ditch, the corpses were piled together, and against the backdrop of the white snow next to them, the scene was even more shocking.
When Lu Qingqing saw this, she remembered the massacre that Bai Xing'er's village had experienced.
Fortunately, she didn't follow me this time.
Soon, the firewood piled in the ditch caught fire.
Slowly, wisps of thick smoke mixed with a strange aroma of meat drifted over.
After everyone smelled it, they silently stepped back a little.
Lu Qingqing, Li Rui and others ran towards the village again. They planned to collect more firewood and bring it back.
Soon, thick smoke was seen rising from the direction of Yang Yongyan's yard.
Lu Qingqing and her group ran several times and moved all the firewood from the nearby yard.
After seeing a lot of firewood piled in the ditch, he turned around and left.
When everyone returned to the yard, the bodies of the thieves were piled up in an open space.
The fire in the pile of corpses was raging, and the smell of burning mixed with the aroma of meat made many men in Linshan Village vomit uncontrollably.
Coupled with the occasional crackling sounds from the pile of corpses, many men were a little scared.
When Father Yang saw Lu Tianming and his group coming back, he did not stay any longer and directly called everyone to set off.
After everyone left Yinjia Village, many men in Linshan Village secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back, no one dared to let their guard down.
According to those thieves, there are still refugees heading this way.
There might even be refugees nearby.
Their cart is too conspicuous, and it will be troublesome if they are spotted!
Under the tension, everyone unconsciously sped up.
When passing by those walled villages, many people had ideas in their minds.
During this period, some villagers also came out from inside the wall to watch.
Seeing so many of them carrying weapons, he stared at them vigilantly until they walked away.
By the time everyone returned to Linshan Village, it was already afternoon.
This time, most people didn't even have lunch, not that they didn't bring any.
But after smelling that strange meaty aroma, they didn't dare to eat anything.
Even Lu Qingqing and her group only ate dry biscuits.
Li Rui brought some dried meat, but he didn't eat it at all.
When everyone went back, there were still villagers looking out from Yang Yongyan's house at the entrance of the village.
Seeing them come back, all the family members gathered around them, asking about the situation outside.
On the way back, Yang's father had asked those who had gone out to give a unified statement, saying only that they had driven the thieves away.
At that time, Yang's father made it very clear that everyone who went out was involved in the murder.
Unless you are stupid, you won't say it out loud.
In the crowd, Yonggang's parents, wife and daughter were looking into the crowd.
After not seeing anyone for a long time, bad thoughts began to arise in my mind.
"Village Chief, where is my Yonggang? Why can't I see him?"
