Chapter 20: Cultivation

Zhao Yuan wanted to refuse, because he still had to improve his cultivation......

He looked at everyone, clenched his fists and said, "Everyone, I can't afford such a heavy responsibility. Please also choose someone else. ”

"But we couldn't find a better leader than you, and what you just did really shocked us......"

Zhao Yuan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "There are no wonders in this world, if you look for it with your heart, there must be someone better than me, if there is something, write a letter, okay, it's decided!"

After speaking, Zhao Yuan took the corpse of Old Man Zhao and Zhao Ling'er and left......

On the way, Zhao Ling'er looked at Zhao Yuan's uncertain face, worried that he was too sad about Old Man Zhao's affairs, and said with some anxiety: "Where are we going to go later?"

Zhao Yuan stopped, looked at Zhao Ling'er, and after looking at the dead old man Zhao, he said hoarsely: "My father was the most happy and quiet when he was alive, and he liked comfort the most, so find a place with mountains and rivers to ...... my father Buried it......"

Hearing the deep sadness in Zhao Yuan's tone, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but choke up......

When Zhao Yuan heard it, he smiled at Zhao Ling'er, and said bitterly: "Ling'er, I will only be left with you in the future, don't you want to abandon me......"

Zhao Ling'er endured her tears and shook her head desperately: "No, Ling'er will not abandon you......!

He raised his hand to touch the top of Zhao Ling'er's head, and said with a bitter smile: "Ling'er is so good to me, then I have to protect my Ling'er well......"

Zhao Ling'er smiled, tears flashed in her eyes, and said to Zhao Yuan firmly: "No! I don't need your protection, I want to protect myself! And I have to protect you! Don't be sad, so that my uncle will be ......unhappy when he sees it."

"Daddy...... Yes, I can't even protect my own father, how can I protect you......" Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly again, as if venting his anger, and hit a big tree next to him with a fist......

"Boom-" The big tree couldn't withstand Zhao Yuan's strength, and fell to the ground with a bang-

Zhao Ling'er looked at it from the sidelines and felt distressed......

Putting away her emotions, Zhao Ling'er said to Zhao Yuan: "Let's find a place to dress up our uncle decently, and buy a coffin, didn't you say that the purpose of this trip is like this? We can't just bury our uncle, so naturally we have to do better......"

"Okay, it's all up to you. ”

After that, the two found a place, Zhao Yun took back the tattered clothes on Old Man Zhao's body and put on some decent clothes, and Zhao Ling'er went to ask for a high-quality coffin......

After Zhao Yuan put Old Man Zhao into the coffin, he and Zhao Ling'er knelt in front of the coffin and kowtowed three times, and took out some things and fruits that seemed to others to be rare treasures to worship Old Man Zhao......

If there is no mourning garment, they will be replaced by white clothes, if there is no candle, they will be replaced by the light of those rare treasures, and if there is no music, they will play the harp themselves......

After these things were done, it had been two hours, and Zhao Yuan kowtowed three times again, looking in the direction of the coffin in a daze, his eyes were empty......

Zhao Ling'er was distressed when she saw it, patted him on the shoulder, and reminded him with distress: "It's time to seal the coffin......"

Zhao Yuan heard it, walked towards the coffin with heavy steps, and touched Old Man Zhao's face with his hand, his expression was not obvious, but his eyes were full of attachment......

"Daddy......" Zhao Yuan's slightly crying voice sounded, "It's all because I'm too useless to protect you, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! If time can come back...... I'd rather we weren't father and son anymore, at least you can live your life in peace......" Zhao Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and slowly disappeared, leaving only low sobs......

When Zhao Ling'er saw Zhao Yuan like this, her tears couldn't help falling anymore......

Walking into Zhao Yuan, Zhao Ling'er stroked his back, didn't say anything, squatted next to Zhao Yuan, and hugged him with open hands.

Zhao Yuan couldn't pretend anymore, took off his disguise, hugged Zhao Ling'er tightly, pillowed his head on Zhao Linger's shoulder socket, and sobbed loudly, Zhao Ling'er just comforted his back one by one......

The world fell silent, as if only these two men were left......

After a while, Zhao Yuan raised his head, resumed his previous decisiveness, and smiled at Zhao Ling'er, with the undried tears, all kinds of emotions were distressing......

Zhao Linger was stunned......

Zhao Yuan flicked Zhao Ling'er's forehead with his hand, and looked at Zhao Ling'er with sincere eyes: "Ling'er, thank you." ”

She came back to her senses and couldn't help but blush......

When Zhao Yuan saw it, he chuckled, walked to the coffin and took a deep look at Old Man Zhao for the last time, closed his eyes and closed the coffin with pain......

Zhao Ling'er stepped forward and took Zhao Yuan's hand, looked at him and said, "You still have me......"

"Well, I still have Ling'er!"

After that, Zhao Yuan found a quiet place with mountains and rivers, dug a long pit, and buried Old Man Zhao in it......

Before leaving, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Lin'er kowtowed three times again, each toasted three glasses of wine, and burned some paper money......

Zhao Yuan looked at the grave of Old Man Zhao with firm eyes and said, "Dad, if there is an afterlife, I hope we are still father and son, I wish you good down there......"

"Uncle, go all the way, we will come to see your ...... often"

The two kowtowed three more times, then got up and left......

After the two walked for a while, Zhao Yuan lowered his head and said in Zhao Ling'er's ear: "Ling'er, I didn't find anything, it seems that someone is following us." ”

"Well, I feel it too. What to do?"

"Don't worry, I'm not sure yet, I'll talk about it later. ”

"Good. ”

After a while, Zhao Yuan took a stone from nowhere and threw it at a bush......

"Ahh

Immediately there was a cry in the grass.

"What's the matter, why don't you come openly, what's the point of hiding!" Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice, which showed that he was not in a very good mood.

Zhao Ling'er pulled Zhao Yuan's sleeve and whispered, "That seems to be Jue'er's voice......

"Yu'er?"

"Yes, yes, I'm Yu'er!"

A man jumped out of the grass and said cheerfully.

"What are you following us for!" Zhao Yuan said in a cold tone. He hadn't forgotten what Yu'er was doing at the time......

"I'm here, I've escaped, I want to go with you......" Yu'er stammered a little.

"Oh, have you forgotten what you were doing, do you need me to remind you!"

"Don't be like this, maybe people have a hard time?" Zhao Ling'er said comforting Zhao Yun on the side.

Zhao Yuan looked at Yu'er and said in a cold tone: "I don't care what troubles you have, don't follow us anymore, if I see you, I will bear the consequences!"

Yu'er listened, gritted her teeth and whispered, "Can't you take me with you?" I just want to go home...... Yu'er became smaller and smaller when she spoke, and finally turned into a low cry......

Zhao Ling'er felt that Yu'er was a little pitiful when she watched from the side, so she said to Zhao Yuan: "Why don't we let Yu'er follow us, it's nothing anyway." ”

Zhao Yuan listened, just kept looking at Yu'er, and didn't speak, his eyes were deep......
