Tan Ron put all her thoughts into the new experiment and accelerated the research and development of new products, striving to produce a few excellent products before the science and technology exchange meeting.
However, at this moment, she suddenly received bad news. The phone call was from the village chief of Zhang Feng Village. He said that Zhang Feng had passed away three days ago and his body was only found this morning.
Tan Rou immediately put down her work and drove to the quiet village alone. Everything was normal in the village except for the death of a strange old man.
The village chief came over to lead the way for Tan Rou and told her about the specific situation.
“The weather is too cold, and the villagers don’t like to go out, let alone wander in the west. So we don’t know that he died at home. The village doctor came to see him,” the village chief said worriedly.
“He said that he died about three days ago. He passed away peacefully without any pain. Fortunately, the weather is cold. Otherwise, the corpses would have stank.”
Tan Rou listened quietly and asked about other things from time to time.
The village chief answered one by one, “You know, Zhang Feng rarely goes out and doesn’t talk to anyone. That’s why even when he died, he was alone. No one was by his side. To be honest, there are also many lonely old people in our village. They either don’t have children or have children in other places. On the third day of last month, an old lady in our village died in the courtyard. If her neighbor didn’t find her dead the next day, she wouldn’t have known that she was gone.”
The village chief continued, “When people get old, their health will deteriorate. They don’t know when they will die. In addition, the weather is so cold now. Who knows, they might not wake up one day after falling asleep.”
Tan Rou was touched. She rarely came into contact with people from the village, but she still knew about lonely old people. When those people were old, they would either be sent to nursing homes or wait for death at home, and then wait for their neighbors to find their bodies.
Tan Rou felt a little complicated when she came to the old house again. She still remembered what Zhang Feng had told her, but she felt a little uncomfortable. It was like an old friend who knew you very well had suddenly passed away. In the future, you would no longer have the chance to tell others your secret.
Zhang Feng’s body was lying on the ground. The ground was covered with grass and there was a grayish-white blanket. He had changed into a new set of clothes, probably changed by the village chief.
The village chief and Tan Rou stood beside Zhang Feng’s body. “He has no descendants, and he doesn’t have any relatives or friends. There’s no need for him to stay at home for three days. Send him directly to the crematorium.”
“What’s the phone number of the funeral parlor?” Tan Rou nodded slightly and asked.
The village chief gave her the phone number. Then, he said to Tan Rou, “The money you gave me hasn’t been used up yet. I’ll get them to return it to you later.”
In fact, he was very reluctant to part with the money because he had never seen so much money before.
Tan Rou refused it immediately. “Take it. Just take it as a thank you for taking care of Mr. Zhang for so many days.”
After she and Zhuang Liu left, she came back alone again. She found the village chief and gave him a large sum of money to take care of Zhang Feng. If anything happened to Zhang Feng, she would call her.
The village chief was paid to do things and had always done a good job. He would send something to Zhang Feng every few days. Moreover, the village chief was a good person. It was all thanks to the village chief’s family that Zhang Feng had not starved to death for so many years.
“How can that be?” The village chief said, “The money you gave was enough to take care of him for more than ten years. In the end, he died in less than a month. If I accept the money, won’t I become a suspect in his death?”
“I believe in your character.” Tan Rou shook her head.
She talked for a while more before the village chief agreed to accept the money. However, he also put forward a condition, saying that he would keep the rest of the money after Zhang Feng’s funeral was completed.
Tan Rou agreed. Then, she and the village chief sent Zhang Feng to the crematorium. After the cremation, they sent him to the nearest cemetery and buried him. With Zhang Feng dead, no one would know that Tan Rou was reborn. Thinking of this, Tan Rou sighed softly.
She placed a bunch of chrysanthemums in front of Zhang Feng’s tombstone and bowed to the old man on the tombstone. “Have a safe journey!”
Tan Rou wanted to see Zhang Feng off in his old age, but she still had some regrets.
