Outside the town, there were mournful cries, the sky was filled with black smoke, and hundreds of corpses were stacked on top of each other to be cremated, which was also a rare humane treatment.

The cremation process will be carried out for several hours, from morning to noon, and the cremated ashes will be swept together with the firewood ashes and then buried together, with no tombstone, no name and no mark. This is the status quo of most ordinary people, and noble people only deserve to remember their names after they die.

Leaving the matter of the morning breeze behind, Mu Chengfeng and the little white finch were also busy at the scene, with sweat dripping from their foreheads, and the old man Lu was wearing a strange robe and stood on the high platform doing the rituals of gods and ghosts, and then a yellow talisman descended and ignited these corpses together with gasoline and firewood.

With his hands folded, Mu Chengfeng took the white finch and saluted respectfully to the rising flames, which his parents had asked him to do a long time ago, even though they were no longer there, he still took great care to write down these things.

Old man Lu has been doing Dharma things, surpassing these unjust souls who died in vain, although Old Man Lu usually hardly looks serious, but at this time he is indeed a real master, and his serious expression has a trace of human compassion.

In the era of Honkai, human life is not noble, and some people who have experienced two eras may still insist on the last respect for life, but most people born in the new era will selectively forget these things. If killing someone can be exchanged for a meal of meat, then there will definitely be a lot of people willing to do such a dirty thing.

……

Mu Chengfeng did not participate in the burial work, after all, he was not a person who liked that kind of occasion, so he decided to walk around, such as going to the wild to breathe.

The little white finch followed Mu Chengfeng's footsteps closely and fell behind him, and the wilderness scenery was very fresh to the little white finch. The wilderness is low, and as far as the eye can see, the earth is pale yellow, and at the end of the pale yellow is intertwined with the gray sky into a thick ink line.

The grass here is much lower than the wolf's nest, and it can only be faintly submerged up to the ankles, and it is clear that these things are the same as the little white finch, which is the color of stunted goods. Thinking of this, Mu Chengfeng hooked the corners of his mouth and didn't forget to look back, and his meaningful eyes made the little white finch a little stunned.

"Eh, master? Is there something on my face? Seeing Mu Chengfeng staring at him, the little white finch cautiously touched his little delicate face, for fear of sticking to something strange.

"Strange things, that's not it, it's just a little barren at first glance."

Barren???

"Barren? Do you mean this wasteland? Bai Que carefully tasted the word barren a few times, but still didn't know why.

"Uh, yes, this wasteland is so barren."

Mu Chengfeng smacked his lips and didn't break it, in fact, he occasionally made it bad, and it felt good.

Farther out in the wasteland, several fowl-like demonic beasts still hovering in the sky, all of them natural hunters, sometimes feeding on other demonic beasts, sometimes on humans.

"Look there."

Mu Chengfeng pointed towards the distant sky, a place that was vague, dark, and had no hope in sight.

"There? What's there, master? The little white finch looked in the direction of her finger, but she couldn't see anything.

"It's a place of despair, a place of darkness, but one day we'll let a light shine there."

A breeze swept across the cheeks of the two of them, and Bai Que's narrow knowledge did not support her understanding of Mu Chengfeng's words, but this did not affect the image of this cheap master in her heart.

"That's probably a great wish!" White Sparrow thought so.

"Come with me"

Rubbing the little head of the white finch, the herd walked in front of the wind, and the withered weeds trampled under his feet, making a rustling sound, which made the empty and lonely wilderness feel more alive.

The sound of screeching beasts in the distance could be faintly heard, adding to the danger of this wasteland. The wind was blowing a little cold, and the little white finch shrank her neck, simply grabbed the corner of Mu Chengfeng's clothes, and hid behind him.

A few cool ice particles landed on Mu Chengfeng's neck, and he stretched out his hand to reach out, and it was snowflakes, stained with gray traces.

"Is it snowing?" Mu Chengfeng muttered to himself: "This year's black snow season will come earlier." ”

"It's snowing, are we going to keep going, master?"

Mu Chengfeng looked at the white finch who was a little thinly dressed, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, let's go back." He put his coat on the white finch.

"Huh?"

The warm coat was draped on his body, and Bai Que's empty heart seemed to be filled with something in an instant, and his eyes were a little sour.

"Master, it's okay for the white finch, the white finch is not cold."

The little head of the white finch is lowered......

Rubbing off the small snot bubbles under the nose of the little white finch with his fingers, Mu Chengfeng was a little funny, are women duplicitous animals, even a little girl.

"Make an exception today, and next time you won't have this treatment."

couldn't help but say, Mu Chengfeng picked up the little white finch and carried her behind her back, and the little white finch lying behind Mu Chengfeng couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

"It's so warm, I like it."

Feeling that the little white finch's little hand was tightly grasping him, Mu Chengfeng shook his head and smiled, if it was really sold, would it be a pity? As for now, the old man seems to like this little guy quite much, maybe he can extort a sum of money, so he should be able to make up for the loss.

"Little White Sparrow, do you want to eat meat?"

"Meat? I want to, but the meat is so expensive, and the white finch can't ......."

"Want to eat? I have a way. ”

The corners of Mu Chengfeng's mouth hooked up a smile, and it shouldn't matter if he occasionally sacrificed the hue of the little white finch.

"No, master, it will cost a lot of money." Thinking of the money spent on eating meat with Mu Chengfeng last time, the little white finch's little heart was dripping blood.

"No, no, no, I have a way to eat meat this time without spending money."

"Really? But the master should not do anything dangerous. ”

"Rest assured that it's not dangerous."

Mu Chengfeng patted his chest with an oath, dangerous, how could it be dangerous, there is nothing safer than this.

……

The two chatted without saying a word, and the town of tomorrow was already close at hand, and the burial work was still in the final stages at this time.

Seeing Mu Chengfeng coming back from outside the town with the little white finch on his back, Old Man Lu immediately smiled and brought a wrinkled old face over.

Mu Chengfeng smiled even more: "The master who sent the money has come to the door." ”

(If there is a sunny day in this world, then it must be the day when you can eat meat - from Mu Chengfeng)
