(The previous chapter was sealed. Briefly, it involved Wang Xiaolong and Li Yingying in a private encounter, followed by the news of Wang Luqi's return to the village. Let's continue and the revised previous chapter will be released on Monday.)
...
There's an old saying in the village.
Not to hold a funeral after a death is considered unfilial; to let a body decay brings misfortune!
Simply put, if elders in a family pass away and are not buried promptly, outsiders will accuse their descendants of being unfilial.
If a body is kept at home without being covered by the fragrance of incense, leading to a foul smell, it will invite misfortune.
According to the old generation, a person possesses three souls and seven spirits. Among these, the three souls are the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul.
After death, the heavenly soul transforms into nature's spiritual energy and scatters into the world.
