Rong Ruo's incident, Xinghe actually really wanted to help her say a few words, but Fu Bo didn't seem to mean that, Xinghe also understood that this was someone else's housework after all, and he didn't have the right to intervene, so he had to give up in the end, but Rong Ruo was still happy to wake up, and he was still a little worried that the girl who was a little off the line would not wake up like that.
Thinking of Rong Ruo who was in a coma, Xinghe naturally thought of Ling, that serious illness took away Ling's ability to walk, she may be trapped in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, Rong Ruo was able to wake up unscathed, it was really a blessing.
Originally, about Ling, Xinghe was going to find an opportunity to tell Lan Yue, but this matter was much more difficult than it seemed, every time he faced Lan Yue, he would feel unspeakable, he really couldn't tell her and Pan this shocking news, although he knew that Lan Yue had the right to know, but this matter still dragged on like this.
However, Xinghe still asked Fu Bo to help send a letter to Jiang Cheng, without mentioning the arrest of the three of them, but simply asked about the recent situation on Chongwu's side, and by the way, gave Chongwu their own address, but according to Fubo, it will take at least ten days to receive a reply.
The next day, because it was the Sabbath, Xiaoxin and Xiaorou didn't have to go to school, they took Xinghe and the three of them to Corvin Cemetery as agreed, in fact, Xinghe didn't plan to call Anton, only Aunt Ye's body was buried in Corvin Cemetery, and the bodies of many people, including Anton's parents and Hedong, had disappeared in Shiva Town, and they were missing, and Xinghe was worried that seeing Aunt Ye's tomb would make him feel emotional.
But Anton didn't seem to think so much, he insisted on going along.
The Cowen Cemetery is in the Sixth Ring Road and District 9, and the original plan was for Ye Zhiqiu to take them with him, but early this morning, Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly went out, as if there was something urgent, so in the end, it was Fubo who drove them to the cemetery.
The appearance of their group in the cemetery attracted the attention of many people, and some people pointed at them from afar, which puzzled Xinghe, but after a while, he felt that he seemed to have found something, except for a few of them, it seemed that there were demon spirits here, and he threw his doubts to the Xiaoxin sisters.
"The standard of this cemetery is very high, and generally only high-status demon spirits are buried here. Xiaoxin explained to him, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, and said with some concern, "Xinghe, there is something you have to be mentally prepared for......
"What kind of psychological preparation?" Xinghe was puzzled, but before Xiaoxin could explain to him, he discovered something by himself, a very old demon spirit spat on it with disdain when he walked past a tombstone, Xinghe saw very clearly, the tombstone was engraved with Ye Duyu.
Xinghe couldn't help but walk over and shouted at the rickety old man, "What are you doing!"
The old man glanced back at him, and after seeing Xinghe and his party clearly, he directly turned around and staggered away, muttering in his mouth: "This is the martyr's cemetery, how can anyone come in, look at the miasma here!"
"You!" Xinghe almost instinctively wanted to rush up and kick the old man, but Xiaoxin grabbed his hand from behind and shook her head at him, the expression on her face was a little helpless, Xinghe was a little sober, and he realized that his previous thoughts were a little extreme.
The brutal training that St. and Lloyd had on him still had some effect on him, and he began to subconsciously use some violent means to solve the problem, but at the end of the day, he was just too angry.
The old man's back gradually faded away, and Xinghe also sobered up a little, this is a high-standard cemetery, or a martyr's cemetery, even ordinary demon spirits can't be buried here, but Aunt Ye is just a human being, but she has her own cemetery here, for the rickety old demon spirit, this is a more difficult thing to accept.
But he still couldn't accept Aunt Ye's tombstone being spit on casually, Anton walked to his side and roughly wanted to comfort him, Xinghe waved his hand at him to indicate that he was okay, he looked at the Xiaoxin Xiaorou sisters who seemed to be accustomed to this, and watched them pick up the water from the back of the cemetery with ease, squatting in front of the tombstone and wiping off the filth on the two adjacent tombstones with a towel, and at the same time chatting with the tombstone in front of him, talking about things that happened at school, Lan Yue also joined them after standing on the side for a whileγ
Xinghe stood still and didn't move, which made Anton a little entangled whether he should go up to help or stand here with Xinghe, and after a while, he made up his mind and squatted next to Lan Yue to help her clean Aunt Ye's tombstone together.
Xinghe was left alone to stand there staring at the two tombstones, the maple leaf ornament was engraved with Ye Duyu (777-805), Ye Duxue (770-794) and a simple epitaph, Xiaoxin and the others were laboriously wiping off the egg whites and other stains on the tombstones.
After a while, Xiaoxin stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead, she saw Xinghe standing in place, and walked over, "That old man should not come to the cemetery often, we basically come every Sabbath, most of the time people will avoid us, we have complained to the cemetery about the dirty things on the tombstones, they have strengthened the rectification, the situation is much better than before, but it is inevitable that something will happen." β
Xinghe quietly listened to Xiaoxin's explanation, not saying a word, as if in a daze, until she handed the towel to Xinghe and asked him, "Don't you have anything to say to your aunt?"
"Maybe next time. Xinghe waved his hand, when he first came, he really wanted to say something, but now, he didn't want to say anything.
On the way back, because Xinghe didn't say a word, the atmosphere became a little solemn, although Xiaoxin and Xiaorou would say a few words from time to time, but probably because of Xinghe, Anton and Lanyue just responded or smirked twice.
Even after returning to the Ye family's mansion, Xinghe had been exuding this gloomy mood, until Ye Zhiqiu came back in the evening, he was not surprised by Xinghe's expression, and just asked Xinghe, "Have you been to the cemetery?"
Xinghe nodded, so Ye Zhiqiu took him to his study.
"What do you think?" After closing the door of the study, Ye Zhiqiu asked Xinghe.
"I don't understand, why the tombs of Aunt Ye and Xiaoxin and Xiaorou's mother are placed in Corvin Cemetery. He was questioning Ye Zhiqiu, and he had been reluctant not to ask Xiaoxin, Xiaorou or Fubo this question, because only Ye Zhiqiu could make this decision.
Ye Zhiqiu took off his glasses and put them on the desk, this was the first time that Xinghe directly looked at the black eyes under the glasses, those glasses were plain and unremarkable, without any special features, "You think my decision is wrong." β
Xinghe nodded.
Ye Zhiqiu stared at him and asked, "What do you think I did wrong?"
"That's the cemetery of the demon spirit!" Xinghe looked at Ye Zhiqiu in disbelief, he could see that this man didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xinghe, "First of all, Corvin Cemetery is not a cemetery of demon spirits, it was built in AC58 to commemorate Morton Cowin and his forty-seven daredevils, in recognition of their outstanding contributions in the Battle of Nagato, those daredevils are not only demon spirits; So, can you still say that Covin Cemetery is the cemetery of demons?"
"But Aunt Ye's tomb will be spat on and thrown eggs there!" Xinghe couldn't help but scream.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't refute, he took a cigarette from the pocket of his coat and put it in his mouth, and then took a box of matches from his pocket and struck one, but before lighting the cigarette, he glanced at Xinghe, and suddenly seemed to remember something, instead of lighting the cigarette in his mouth, he put the cigarette next to his glasses on the desk after the match in his hand burned out.
"Xinghe, do you remember that I told you that there are many unreasonable things about the order of the empire?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xinghe, " I am the president of Tiangong Academy, and I also have the status of a member of the lower house of the empire and a jury seat of the Supreme Court, I can say with certainty that there will be no more noble human beings in the entire empire than my status, even so, there will still be demons throwing eggs and spitting on my wife's tombstone, not because I have done anything angry, but just because she is a human and is buried in Covin Cemetery, Xinghe, do you think this is a normal phenomenon?"
Xinghe shook his head a little unconvinced, the demon spirit is the master of the empire, this is a consensus, then it is naturally not normal to bury two humans in a cemetery full of demon spirits, but what Ye Zhiqiu said sounded very reasonable, which made him very confused.
"It's normal for you to feel lost. Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xinghe, "I have done a lot of things in the academy to make students believe that they are high and low with each other, but there is no difference between high and low, including Xiaoxin and Xiaorou, I have always told them that they are equal with the demon spirit, but I can still only achieve this equality in the academy, when they leave the school, they still have to face this unequal society, which is normal, but the most helpless thing for me is that most of them still take it for granted, but that's not." β
Ye Zhiqiu paused, "It's like placing the tombs of Twilight Snow and Twilight Rain in the Corvin Cemetery, I didn't violate any regulations, but there are still many people who take it for granted that I should move the tomb out, but in fact, it is my right to insist on setting up the tomb there, which is a matter of course." β
"Even so, don't you think it's too cruel for them to let Xiaoxin and Xiaorou watch others spit on their mother's tombstone and throw eggs?" Xinghe admitted that what Ye Zhiqiu said made sense, but he still couldn't understand why Ye Zhiqiu had set up his tomb in Corvin Cemetery.
Xinghe's words finally made Ye Zhiqiu's expression dim, and he rubbed his temples, "It's very cruel, but I'm already the highest status human being, if even I can't stick to my rightful power, then is there any hope for others?"
Xinghe looked into his eyes, feeling his helplessness, he already knew what Ye Zhiqiu meant, Aunt Ye and Xiaoxin's mother's tomb would not be moved out of the Corvin Cemetery, although it was a very cruel thing for Xiaoxin, Xiaorou and Lan Yue, "Why do you want to talk to me so much?"
Ye Zhiqiu picked up his glasses from the desk and put them back on the bridge of his nose, "Xinghe, you are a demon spirit, but now you are living as a human being, even if you are still very young and have a lot of things you don't understand, but the experience over the years must have made you realize the unreasonableness of this world, which is a very valuable experience." β
"You think I can change the world?"
"I don't know, but at least, you have a better chance of being a human and a demon than others, aren't you?" Ye Zhiqiu opened the pocket of his coat, took out three cards and stuffed them into Xinghe's hand.
"What is this?" Xinghe picked up the three cards with the names of himself, Lan Yue, and Anton and looked through them carefully.
"Tiangong Academy's student card, I have already completed the relevant procedures, this world is very big, no matter what you want to do in the future, you have to go and see it yourself. Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xinghe with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
