"I thought you were ...... too It's gone. I held him my glass.

He looked at me with an excited and incredulous look in his eyes, and he shook his head gently, "Is it really you?" ”

"Seriously...... I...... I didn't expect to see you again. "I said." Your father he...... Are you alright? ”

He shook his head, "He...... has passed away. ”

"When?"

"It's been years." He said.

"He was very badly wounded during the war." I say.

"Yes, the injury to his lungs prevented him from working, and after the war...... The money given out simply can't sustain us for long, let alone that he's been sick. So we ...... Always in poverty. He said with a sad look on his face.

I'm sad to hear him, but I don't know what other words to say but comfort him with the most useless clichés, but I really don't want to use that cliché, like "Don't be too upset." "He's relieved." "I hope he will have a good time in the kingdom of God." to express my sadness and make him feel better.

He ...... Have you been living in Alterac City? ”

"Nope." He shook his head, "We moved out there, my father couldn't see the cool breeze since he injured his lungs, and Alterac City was too cold. As soon as he went out, he would cough in the cold air, and I finally moved him out of there. ”

"Oh...... So where did you go? ”

"At first, I was going to Talenmere, but my father had to leave when he got there."

"Why?"

"He said it made him feel uncomfortable there."

"Well...... Not only did it make him uncomfortable, but it also made me uncomfortable. I nodded in agreement.

"And then we got here."

"Your father's ...... Your father is buried here? I frowned.

"Yes." He said.

I reached out and patted his hand, "Kid, it seems that I have come to the right north." With that, I stood up, "Come on, take me to see him." ”

"What have you been doing before?" I asked him after walking out of the tavern.

"Fishing."

"Fishing all the time?"

"Yes."

"Your father is a hunter."

"It's useless, it's not like the mountains, where you can't have to hunt, but there's a much easier job here that is basically rewarding." He said.

"Fishing?"

"Go to sea every day...... I usually bring something to eat, even a dead fish is enough for me and my father to chew on for a day. ”

"I've been back and forth from here many times." I glanced at him, "It's just a pity I just didn't meet you." ”

"My father died...... It's been years. He said, "I guess you'...... I can't see it. ”

"When did you move here?"

"After Alterac was dismantled." His tone was flat, "Soon after that land was assigned to Lordaeron, we moved here. ”

"So the undead were plagued...... You are not affected. ”

"Sort of, at least I didn't take my life." He glanced at me, "I've lived here for a few years, and at that time, Nanhai Town was still in ruins, and the reconstruction work was still ongoing, so ...... At that time, I also worked as a laborer for them for a while, and then the salary of the construction job dropped, so I stopped doing it, and then I learned to go out to sea and fish. Those days...... Okay, it's much warmer and wetter than Alterac City, so he has less lung disease, but he also has heart problems later, and he ...... At first, he often couldn't lie down at night, and then his body became weaker and weaker, and the money I earned was not enough for him to see a doctor and take medicine...... So in the end, I couldn't keep him. ”

The boy ...... The man was about the same height as me, and perhaps because of his frequent labor, he was very burly.

I hummed and continued, "How many years have he died...... Have you been alone? ”

"Huh." He chuckled faintly.

"Why didn't you find one?" I asked him.

"No money." He said it quite frankly.

"You are such a strong man and a woman, because you don't have those melons and dates, they won't follow you?" I glanced at him.

"Didn't find a suitable one." He was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong with that?"

"That's it...... Not encountered for a while. He laughed wryly.

I bought a bouquet of flowers and went to his father's grave, which was on the east side of the hillside, almost at the very edge of all the graves, and further east there was a stream.

"You buried him here?"

"Hmmm......"

I pouted and swallowed back. His tombstone was already covered with moss, and weeds obscured his tombstone, and after cleaning his grave, I placed the flowers in front of his tombstone.

"Do you think that the soul of man will fly directly to the kingdom of God after death, or can he also go to the place called hell?" He asked suddenly.

"How can you ask that?"

He ...... I just wanted to ask. ”

"I don't know." I looked at him, "I haven't been to the kingdom of God, and I haven't seen it, that place called hell...... Hmph, I've seen it. ”

"Have you seen it? Hell? He looked at me in surprise.

I also looked at him, "What?" ”

"You're not kidding." He was clearly taken aback by my words as an uncle.

"Of course...... No. I said, "For a lot of people, it's hell." ”

His expression froze, but he came back to his senses and nodded, "You mean his soul...... Or maybe it's still here? ”

"Perhaps." I said, "Have you ever dreamed of your father?" ”

"Very little." He said, "Only once did I dream of him not long after his death, and then I ...... I don't remember how many times I've dreamed of him, but I don't remember much. ”

"When a person dies, he stays on earth for a short time." I say. "That's why you dreamed of him."

"But then I should have dreamed of him twice."

"He might just come back to see you."

"And where is he?"

"I don't know." I shook my head.

His face was very solemn, he opened his mouth and closed it again, but he still spoke, "Actually...... Over here...... He's not here. ”

"What?" I was stunned for a moment. "Who is this?"

"I mean...... He...... The corpse is not here. ”

"You didn't bury him?"

"......No," he shook his head, "of course I buried him, I said ...... His body is no longer in the grave. ”

I looked at him with a frown, "What did you say?" ”

Björn had a pained look on his face, he gritted his teeth and shook his head, "I...... I don't know what to tell you. ”

"What's so bad about that." I raised my voice.

He ...... His body was gone. ”

"Gone?" I looked at him with wide eyes. I shook my head and looked at him in surprise, "You...... Make it clear. ”

"It's been more than a year." He said, "Last year, there were rumors that the town was haunted, and at first some people believed it, some people didn't believe it, and some people were suspicious of it, but then there was a murder incident, and some farmers went out of the city to pick and didn't go back, and then they were found, and the flesh and blood that were gnawed were blurred." ”

"Then the rumors of hauntings around the town grew, and the number of believers grew, until one day someone was ...... in the cemetery," he pointed to, "and there was an attack while paying tribute to his family." ”

"What is it?"

"Yes...... Dead person. ”

"The Scourge of the Dead?"

"I don't know what it's called, they call it the living dead, you call them the undead scourge, we should say the same." He sighed, "At that time, a family came, seven or eight people, and half of them died, and the other half ran back, and two were injured and frightened and went crazy, and the town got the news and hurried here to investigate, and finally found that some of the graves, especially the graves near the stream that had fallen into disrepair, actually had a hole, and the hole was not big, but no one dared to climb into it." ”

"The sheriff of the town has brought in the family members of the grave, and I have come. I was stupid when I saw this, and I couldn't imagine how this could happen. Under our supervision, the people of the town dug up the graves, but when they encountered the coffins, many of them had mostly intact coffins, and there were cracks and excavations at one end of these coffins, but after examining the soil in the coffins, they came to the conclusion that the coffins were not dug in from the outside, but from the inside. ”

"They didn't suspect it was a tomb robber?"

"Suspicious." "But the claim was immediately disproved because the people buried here ...... There is only a poor person like me, and there will be no valuable burial goods in the coffin of the poor. He said, "I know exactly what was in my father's coffin, and when I opened it, nothing was missing, but he was gone." ”

"What's the reaction of the townspeople?"

"All the families who have been in this situation have been pointed at, and so have I."

"Is that why you don't have a woman?" I snorted.

"You can say the same thing." He sighed.

"What do people say about your father?" I looked at the sad boy with a frown.

"People say he's a zombie, like the zombies in the north."
