Cluck~

The morning sun rose in the east, Yiyang returned to the ravine, and took Shuang'er to the hillside to cultivate. There was humidity in the forest, white mist was floating, and the hillside was a little stuffy, Yiyang couldn't enter the meditation, so he simply returned to the small courtyard and cleaned the neighbor's yard, and it was only time for Chen......

Frost was hungry and crying, and he hurriedly ran to feed her seriously......

Shuang'er stopped crying, Yiyang sat in his yard, feeling annoyed inexplicably, it was too boring today, it seemed that there were a lot of things to do, and he didn't know what to do.

He reached out and took out a piece of candy from his bosom, it was moldy and smelled musty.

This is the last candy left by Nangong Ying, and she has been reluctant to eat it, and it is all bad...... Suddenly, I miss Sister Ling'er and Brother Ying so much, and of course there is sugar, I want Brother Ying's sugar to feel very sweet!

He put the sugar to his chest and looked up at the northern sky, and there were many clouds, white, like the feathers of a fat goose...... After a long time, Yiyang felt that Bai Yun was very annoying, so he picked up the hoe and cleaned up all the weeds in the field outside the yard, and there were no weeds in a few moments......

Annoyed, he threw away his hoe, ran back to the house, took a shower, and arranged his hair repeatedly...... When he was done, he ran to the yard to do carpentry with a saw, and he didn't know what to do, but he just took a piece of wood and sawed it around...... The wood was sawn into several pieces, and it wasn't even noon!

Yiyang threw away the saw, and became even more annoyed, so he scolded: "Fuck you!"

In short, the mood is inexplicably annoying, very annoying!

At this time, a suona sound came......

Yiyang ran out of the yard to look, and saw someone in Nakamura from a distance, his heart was inexplicably tight, and he always felt that something bad had happened.

They came towards the back mountain......

"Who is dead, and is going to be buried in the back mountain?" Yiyang's heart trembled inexplicably, feeling that he had suddenly lost something very important.

He hurriedly ran to the hillside and stared intently at the funeral procession.

The funeral procession is getting closer and closer, and Yiyang's heart is getting more and more nervous, and he is afraid of seeing something unacceptable.

It's close, and I'm about to go to Uemura......

It's closer, and you'll be able to see it right away......

When he got closer, the first person lowered his head, holding the tablet and it was difficult to see who it was, but judging from his size, he was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.

The young man was wearing sackcloth, holding the tablet in the front, and behind him was carrying the spirit flag, and then two boys were wearing filial piety clothes and scattering paper money, eight people carried the coffin, two people played suona, four people held shovels, and behind them was a middle-aged couple with haggard faces, and there was another person next to him, yes...... Sister Ling'er!

Yiyang hurriedly ran down the mountain, met the funeral team, and saw the boy clearly, the boy was Nangong Chu!

Yiyang ran forward in a panic and asked in a low voice, "Second Brother Chu, what happened? Who is going to be funeral?"

Nangong Chu squinted at him, didn't make any answer, and continued to walk forward...... His eyes were glazed, like a walking corpse!

He ran to Ling'er's side again, "Sister Ling'er, what happened?

Ling'er, who had a white silk wrapped around her waist, red at the corners of her eyes, and bloodshot eyes, turned her head to look at Yiyang, and then returned to her own world, just walking forward, just like Nangong Chu!

He asked the two old couples with gray sideburns in a low voice: "Uncle and aunt, may I ask, this is ......?"

Before she could ask, the woman sobbed in a low voice, and her husband reached out to help her and waved Yiyang to go farther!

Yiyang stayed where he was, watching the team go away...... His heart ached like a pinprick, so he covered it with his hand.

Something hit his chest, and he reached out and took it out, and it was the moldy candy...... He suddenly knew who it was!

They all came back, but he didn't come back......

There was sand in his eyes suddenly, he reached out and wiped it casually, then clutched the candy tightly and followed silently!

He followed the procession, looking down at his steps and progressing forward very regularly, until he could see the first rays of the morning sun in the rare open field facing east somewhere in the back mountain!

They began to dig a pit, the couple held the soil one by one next to them, and the rest of the people shoveled the soil with shovels, and Yiyang also followed with hand planing, and the couple glanced at Yiyang, and then lowered their heads and continued to dig the soil!

Bang~

The sound of the coffin falling into the grave hit Yiyang's heart hard, and he felt more uncomfortable than ever, and wanted to cry, but he couldn't......

He consciously stepped aside and watched several young men carrying a tombstone from the bottom of the mountain bare-chested and standing in front of the grave; watched the soil that had been dug out be dug back and piled up into a mound; watched the paper money floating in the air, like a child who could not return home, forced to fall to the earth; watched the parents of the couple cry bitterly in front of the grave, Nangong Chu gently touched her shoulder on the side, and did not say a word......

Time precipitated little by little, and people left one after another, and in the end, only the couple remained, Nangong Chu, Ling'er and Yiyang!

Nangong Chu saw that it was getting late and the weather was getting colder, so he took off his clothes and put them on the woman, and then said to his parents: "Mother, it's cold, your body is not good, go back early!"

The woman wiped her tears and said, "Mother will accompany your brother again." ”

She stretched out her hand and rubbed a blank tombstone, and said: "Your father was injured in his early years and can only do some ordinary work, your brother was forced to become the pillar of our family at a very young age, he must be steady, and he has suffered a lot in the five years he went north, his mother did not take good care of him, he is not a qualified mother, and he owes him too much ......"

Hearing this, Nangong Chu stopped admonishing, because he knew that he couldn't persuade him.

After another quarter of an hour, Nangong Chu said to his father: "Dad, take my mother back, she is not in good health!"

The middle-aged man with gray temples leaned down, helped the woman up, and said gently: "the child, go back, let the children stay by themselves for a while!"

The woman looked at the tombstone reluctantly, and with the support of the man, she turned back and left in a few steps!

Seeing the two leave, Nangong Chu looked at the sunset standing far away and said, "Boy, don't you come to condole?"

Yiyang seemed to be in a trance, and when he heard Nangong Chu's words, he woke up and walked to the grave......

He knelt on the ground and placed a flattened, moldy candy sticky to the dirt in front of the tombstone...... He opened his mouth and asked, "Why is there no inscription on the tombstone? He is one of the most outstanding people of the generation of young people in the Tibetan Sword Villa, why is it so easy to make a funeral?"

Nangong Chu was about to respond to him, but Ling'er, who had been in a daze for a long time, interrupted him, "Because he didn't come back, because this is just a clothed mound, because the Nangong family has a motto 'Don't set up a clothed mound, only bury the real hero', so there can't be words on this tablet, so this is not a funeral!"

"Where's his body?" Yiyang's voice became very deep, and he bit hard at every word!

"There are two cliffs in Xiaoyun Pass, and he fell from there......" said, Ling'er knelt down in front of the grave suddenly, buried his head between his legs, covered his face with his hands, and cried bitterly, "He was knocked down by the thieves to save me, I won't die, he could have avoided saving my ......"

The bandits of Xiaoyun Pass, Yiyang has heard that the cultivators of Entropy Prefecture who escaped from the gap between humanity and ghost Dao have no humanity, and they are a tumor in Xiaoyun Pass, at the junction of Yun County and Dahe County, backed by Cangshan Mountain, they have been encircled and suppressed many times, and they can always resurrect!

"Bandit!" Yiyang clenched his fists, his eyes reddened, and said, "He is the most stable one, why is he so impulsive?"

"I don't know, I don't know...... I don't know anything!"

Ling'er just recovered from the wood, but ushered in a collapse!

It took a long time for Yiyang to calm down...... He grabbed a handful of paper money from a basket next to him, threw it into the brazier and burned it.

"There's still one candy left for me, I can't eat it, I'll give it back to you," he burned another handful ......of paper money, "Don't worry, as long as I Yiyang is still alive, I will vow to put down the bandits in Xiaoyun Pass, bring you back, and engrave the inscription and your name on this tablet!"

Ling'er stopped crying, and after her mood gradually stabilized, she took out a dagger, cut off a strand of green silk, threw it into the brazier, and said, "Today I swear in front of your grave that if you don't destroy the thieves in Xiaoyun Pass in this life, you will never marry!"

The words fell, and the green silk in the brazier turned to ashes......

Seeing this, Nangong Chu wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he asked Yiyang and Ling'er to go first, and sat alone in front of the grave, until it was dark and burned a few pieces of paper money that were blown away by the wind, and then slowly descended the mountain......

A crooked moon hung in the sky, the breeze blew, and a lonely tomb lay in the back mountain!
