To prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward, I casually struck up a conversation about daily life, asking about the village and Liu Sheng's situation, including what kind of person he was before he died.
Although the woman looked somewhat exhausted, she patiently answered one by one, without a hint of perfunctoriness in her words. After all, I had shown off my skills in the village yesterday, which would earn me a little more respect from the villagers when facing me.
Actually, I hadn't expected to get any useful information anyway; I mainly felt that with the man of this family gone, life would be hard for the remaining widow and orphan. Now that I was not as strapped for cash as before, I wanted to help their family out a bit, and also let Liu Sheng put his worries to rest during tonight's soul-calling.
