The sky was overcast, with a light drizzle falling.
"Move aside, everyone move aside!"
"What's there to see!"
On the dock, the government officials of Fengdu County shouted as they pushed through the crowd, then began to carry down corpses from the boat.
All the corpses were covered with straw mats.
"Wife's old man!"
"Brothers! Step aside, inside is my brother!"
People in the crowd, the bereaved, rushed to squeeze in.
There were women with children and ragged men, all looking panic-stricken, faces pale.
Those watching on the side gave sympathetic looks and stepped aside.
"Hey, don't move!"
Seeing the woman attempting to lift the straw mat, the government official hurriedly stopped her.
"That's my man, that's my man!"
The woman screamed and struggled, while the child cried loudly.
The onlookers also began to persuade:
"People are recognizing their dead, why stop them!"
"Exactly, unless there's something to hide."
"What do you understand!"
