Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 248: Collecting the Corpse

"Ah!" Li Renyi wiped his tears and said, "How did the world become like this? Why do we have to do such things when we are living a good life?"

"Okay, Old Li, this is fate. You should be more open-minded. This kind of thing will happen a lot in the future. All we can do is wait for the storm to pass," Li Kangri said helplessly. He had read a lot of books about this kind of thing in his previous life. For example, he once read a book that said there was an extremely beautiful woman who was framed as a female spy because she did not obey their director. That was not enough. In order to get a glimpse of the beauty's body, they insisted that there was a radio chicken hidden in her stomach. They stripped her naked for examination. As a result, the woman could not resist the humiliation and committed suicide.

"I understand," Li Renyi said, "Kangri, can you accompany me to bring your Aunt Zhou back and bury her? They say that the best thing to do is to be buried in peace. Let's bury her as soon as possible!"

"Okay, but you have to restrain yourself and not cause trouble. I still say the same thing, bad guys will naturally be punished." Li Kangri reminded.

"Yeah!" Li Renyi hummed.

Then he walked towards the door. Just as he was about to leave, Political Commissar Ma pushed the door open and walked in. "Lao Li, you're out? I rushed over after receiving the news. That's great."

After saying that, Political Commissar Ma excitedly hugged Li Renyi, then punched him hard a few times before separating.

"Old Li, you don't look very good. What's the matter? Shouldn't you be happy to be out?" Political Commissar Ma asked doubtfully.

"Uncle Ma," Li Kangri said, "that reinforcement soldier fucking committed suicide."

With these words, Political Commissar Ma was stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. "What did you say? The reinforcements' mother committed suicide? What happened?"

So Li Kangri told the story again, and then said, "Uncle Ma, we are going to collect the body now!"

"This, this, isn't this outrageous?" Political Commissar Ma slapped his thigh in anger. "I was thinking of waiting and seeing. In this world, there's no point in waiting. I'll go find Liu right away. This job is so annoying."

"Uncle Ma, come over and chat with me in the evening when you have time. Let's go to the hospital first," said Li Kangri.

"Yes, yes, don't delay any longer, I will go with you." Political Commissar Ma said immediately.

After a while, in the hospital morgue, under the leadership of several security officers, several people walked to a body covered with a white cloth. The leading captain pointed at the body and said, "This is Zhou Shiya, you can see for yourself, we will go back first."

After saying that, several people from the security department ran away immediately. It was not for any other reason, but because they knew what Li Renyi did and they were very afraid of death. If Director Zou had not forced them to come, they would not have dared to come.

After the security people left, Li Renyi slowly walked to the morgue bed and looked at it. After a long time, he slowly pulled open the white cloth, and then he saw Zhou Shiya with blood all over her face.

On the side, Li Kangri and Political Commissar Ma did not say anything at this moment. They just watched everything in front of them quietly. This was not the time for them to speak.

Looking at Zhou Shiya whose face was covered in blood, Li Renyi's tears burst out like a spring.

"Shi Ya, I, I'm sorry. I can't even protect you. I still claim to be protecting the people. Bullshit, I was just farting before. What kind of man am I? I can't even protect my own wife. Yes, I'm not a man, not a man at all, ah ah ah..." Li Renyi burst into tears and smacked his mouth while crying.

Seeing Li Renyi slapping himself, Political Commissar Ma ran over and grabbed Li Renyi's hand and shouted, "Old Li, what are you doing? Don't degrade yourself."

"Old Ma, I feel so sad and upset. Such a good person is gone just like that. How nice it would be if I could die for her!" Li Renyi cried.

"Hey! Lao Li, I know you feel bad, but you have to take care of yourself. You still have three children. What will happen to them if you collapse?" Political Commissar Ma comforted him, "Think about it, Xiao Zhou's spirit in heaven wouldn't want you to be like this. She also wants you to raise the children well."

"Old Ma, Xiao Zhou is really too young. If it weren't for those bastards, she would have a bright future." Li Renyi cried.

"Oh!..." Political Commissar Ma let out a long sigh. He didn't know how to comfort him. If such a thing happened to him, he might be worse than Li Renyi!

Just like that, after a while, Xiao Liu walked in, and seeing Li Renyi crying bitterly, Xiao Liu also started sobbing. After all, he had been Li Renyi's guard for several years, and he had a very good relationship with everyone in the Li family. "I bought the things for the anti-Japanese war, and called a few people. They're at the door, you see..." Xiao Liu said with red eyes.

"Okay, go and ask someone to carry the coffin to the door, and we'll leave now." Li Kangri said.

Xiao Liu agreed and walked out wiping his eyes.

After Xiao Liu left, Li Kangri walked over and said, "Old Li, the dead are gone. I think it's better to bury them as soon as possible. Xiao Liu has already bought the things back."

"Okay!" Li Renyi said.

After saying that, Li Renyi walked over, picked up Zhou Shiya's body around the waist, and then walked towards the door with heavy steps.

Just like that, after putting Zhou Shiya down, Li Renyi personally closed the coffin lid and then carried it out of the hospital.

In the distance, Director Zou stared at the few people with a sinister look and said to himself hatefully, "You stinky bitch, you refuse to obey me even if you die. Am I that bad? You're going to die now!"

Just as Director Zou was looking at several people, Li Kangri felt a chill. Suddenly, he looked in the direction of Director Zou. Just one glance made Director Zou shudder, because those eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Who is this? Zhou Shiya's brother? Otherwise why would she look at me like that?" Director Zou asked in confusion, "That's not right! She doesn't seem to have a brother!"

After taking a look and remembering Zou Shiliang's face, Li Kangri turned around and continued walking forward.
