Behind him was Du Jun, head lowered, holding a basin full of burnt paper money in one hand and a large rooster in the other.
Seeing this, Du Heng and Du Ping no longer sat in the main hall but hurried out to watch Banxianer continue performing the rites in the courtyard.
This ritualistic activity lasted for another half an hour.
When Banxianer had finished everything, Du Heng asked Du Jun, "How is your Wife now? Can I go in and have a look?"
Du Jun felt awkward. But Du Heng was now a person of considerable ability, and Du Jun no longer dared to act as defiantly in front of him as before.
Du Jun led Du Heng into his bedroom. Inside, Du Heng saw Du Jun's Wife, her mouth tightly gagged and her hands bound behind her back, sitting on the bed like a roly-poly doll.
Du Heng had heard about the situation from Du Ping, so he wasn't surprised to see her bound this way.
