Chapter 433 Collecting corpses
The old man patted my shoulder and spoke to me in a gentle voice.
"You don't have to be too afraid. Our Yizhuang sect is not afraid of heaven or earth. There is nothing to be afraid of. Even when the anti-feudal and anti-superstitious times were at their most serious, didn't our sect be wiped out? What a pity..."
I pricked up my ears and wanted to hear him. What's the pity? Could it be that he felt that it was a pity that he did not carry forward Yizhuang as a whole?
In today's society, it is simply impossible for major sects such as Taoism to promote themselves.
You go out to the street and grab a person, saying that you want to take him to cultivate immortality, promote righteousness and eradicate evil spirits.
He will definitely think that you are crazy about gain and loss?
If you meet an enthusiastic citizen, they may send you to a mental hospital and ask you to see a psychiatrist.
When I turned around, I found a Western man wandering back from a short distance away.
I guess he should be back by now, at the beginning of noon, which is the day we leave Shihe Village.
Leave Shihe Village, go to Eryang Village to check the situation, and collect the body of Erzhou on the way.
How can I say that he is also my relative? And he is considered a member of my sect, so I can’t watch him die in the wilderness.
And he still died to save me, and I didn’t feel very good about it.
No matter how much I try to put this matter behind me these days, it still lingers in my mind.
Even Bai Xian, who has been forced to suppress my heart, flashes in my heart from time to time.
I feel quite uncomfortable.
For so long, whoever it is? Anyone who appears around me will be in bad luck.
I've caused them to suffer the same fate as me, so it's strange to feel comfortable.
"I don't know what's going on in Eryang Village now. Hurry up and pack your things, and then let's go to Eryang Village. There's no point in delaying here."
I am helpless to say that the longer we stay here, the more changes will occur in the situation in Eryang Village.
It cannot be said that no matter how long we stay here, Eryang Village will always be peaceful.
I don't really believe that.
The master behind the scenes in Shihe Village went to get Jin Suocheng from Eryang Village to solve it for us.
As for whether he has solved it, no one knows?
I hope he solves it, but if he doesn't solve it, I can't do anything to him?
Soon, the four of us packed our things.
I didn't have much in the first place, so if I was leaving now, I would just bring food with me.
Soon our group returned to Eryang Village. I didn’t expect that the distance between Eryang Village and Shihe Village was not as far as I thought.
Anyway, once you really start walking, you won’t be so tired.
When I returned to Eryang Village, I suddenly didn't know whether I should go in or not. Standing at the crossroads, I felt a little timid about being close to home.
I also know that standing here is not the same thing, but I really don’t know what the situation is in Eryang Village now.
Will there be any unexpected changes after entering?
But you definitely can't leave it at the entrance of the village and just keep standing like this. What happened all of a sudden?
We have to go in anyway, after a group of us walked in.
I imagined Er Zhou's corpses everywhere, but that didn't happen.
It wasn't until I walked to the center of the village that I discovered that Erzhou's body was placed in a wooden box.
It looks like a coffin, but the coffin is too rough.
Er Zhou, with his eyes closed in the coffin, could not erase the scars left from the fight with Jin Suo City.
The severed arm was placed next to his body where it should be.
He looked somewhat peaceful, but his complexion was ashen and his body was already bloated.
Everyone told me that Er Zhou was really dead.
It is impossible to return to this world again, and I feel helpless.
There was also some inexplicable sadness. When Erzhou stopped Jinsuo City, he probably had expected this situation to happen.
He may still be regretting not being able to run out with me.
Let me watch him die tragically in front of me.
In fact, it was really a big blow to me that he died tragically in front of me.
Before, I just wanted to be alone and survive as long as I could.
But now I really understand what it means to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, and what it means to sacrifice oneself for others?
Maybe when I get older, one day I will follow the same old path as Erzhou.
I smiled helplessly and put my hand into the coffin.
I patted Er Zhou on the shoulder as a farewell between the two of us.
Then I closed the coffin lid and went home to get the shovel.
So I went to dig a hole in the back mountain. Blind Grandpa’s grave looked quite new.
Someone must have cleaned it up for him some time ago.
I don’t know who cleaned Grandpa Blind’s grave so cleanly, maybe two weeks ago.
Next to Blind Grandpa, I found a suitable position and started digging a hole.
In all of this, I didn’t ask anyone else to help me.
I feel like this is something I should do myself, and there is absolutely no need for anyone else to get involved.
What's more, even if I am tired, I feel contented. There is no sound of firecrackers, and there is no crying grief.
Er Zhou's coffin was put down with the help of the man with broken eyebrows and the suit.
As for the soil, I filled it in bit by bit myself.
I remember very clearly that when he was alive, he told me that he did not want to erect a monument.
I think if I erect a tombstone for him now, he may not be happy.
But I still built a high grave for him.
I don't know how long it will be before I come back next time.
I also know that no one in the village will come to clean up his and Blind Grandpa's graves.
So what I can do today is to pile the soil on his grave higher.
Many years later, or when I get rid of the trouble of the last bus on Route 14, I will come to rebuild his grave.
There are no paper money or incense sticks, Er Zhou was buried here silently.
He may have been a famous person, but he became silent after his death.
I don't know if he will regret it, of course, so this is the only arrangement.
I knelt in front of his grave and kowtowed heavily for him.
I knelt in front of Blind Grandpa's grave and kowtowed heavily.
My eyes are in front of me, and I can't always linger on the past.
I want to live well, with the hope of everyone and the heavy responsibility of the charity house.
Although I can't carry forward the Yizhuang family, I think I will at least not let it down.
That's all, let's do our best!
When I left, I really looked back every three steps.
It's not that I want to act like a little girl, I really don't want to leave.
