There were few decent pieces of furniture in the dark hut that had been burned by the fire, and the fire made the house even more dilapidated and deserted.

On the kang head, Du Xiaoyi wrapped her grandmother in a half-quilt that had not yet been burned, grabbed her hand tightly, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"Xiao Yi......, grandma knows that you are a good child, she believed Zhang Daxian's nonsense and forced you away, and grandma has not wanted you to ...... for a day in the past three years."

"Don't talk about grandma, you can rest for a while......" Du Xiaoyi sobbed.

As soon as he thought of the sixth master's eyes just now, he felt extremely remorseful in his heart.

I hate myself for not being angry, I hate myself for coming back too late, I didn't let the only relatives in this world live a good day, and I hate the villagers outside who only know how to watch the excitement!

If it weren't for them, Grandma wouldn't have been forced to end her life by suicide!

"Xiao Yi, grandma can't talk to you...... I can't say a few words, your father and mother died early, they didn't take care of you to grow up, and now your grandmother is going to leave you, you have to take care of yourself in the future......"

"I know, I know everything......" Du Xiaoyi's tears hit the blackened quilt one by one, he couldn't imagine how his grandmother lived alone during his absence.

I used to think that grandma was omnipotent, she could conjure hot roasted sweet potatoes in winter, she could give herself a string of sugar gourds in the envious eyes of other children, and every night, she had countless stories to tell herself, and every morning a bowl of hot porridge was brought to herself!

If you ask him who Du Xiaoyi's biggest benefactor is in his life, then Ye Ming can only rank second!

But such a kind old man, but after he had a little ability to take care of her, he was forced to look like this by the people she usually called 'villagers'!

The old lady was extremely weak at this time, and every time she said a word, she had to gasp for a long time.

"Under the trees at the head of the village...... There is money that your grandmother saved for you to marry a daughter-in-law, but it's a pity that it's ...... Grandma can't see whose daughter-in-law you're marrying back......"

"You can see it, grandma, you can see it! I'll go and ask the sixth master, and he will cure you!" Du Xiaoyi cried bitterly and couldn't help himself.

"Xiaoyi, promise the old woman, don't blame them for ......, people live for themselves all their lives, they are not wrong......"

Until she died, she was afraid that her grandson would clash with the villagers of Straw Hat Village because of herself, just like the moment she learned the news that Du Xiaoyi was back, she would not die, and Zhao Laosan would also force Du Xiaoyi to comply, she couldn't make trouble for her grandson at this time......

The old lady's voice became weaker and weaker, as if she had an inexhaustible command, and she trembled and stretched out her dry palm to caress her grandson's cheek one last time, but she couldn't do anything.

"Xiao Yi, you will be the only one left in the future, live well......"

After all, the hand still fell weakly.

The old lady's eyes slowly closed, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, maybe in her heart, it was already the greatest happiness to be able to see her grandson before she died......

Du Xiaoyi buried his head heavily in the scorched quilt, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke the embankment at this moment, and cried loudly!

Outside the door, several village women lying on the window listening to the movement glanced at each other, shook their heads and pouted.

"Still dead......

"Then who will be burned tomorrow?"

"That's Zhao Laosan's business, didn't you hear the old woman just now say that there is silver under the big tree at the entrance of the village, while Du Xiaoyi is not paying attention, let's dig it out first!"

The eyes of the remaining few people lit up, and they all turned around and ran towards the entrance of the village, for fear that they would be late and their share would be taken away by others!

But just as he was about to leave the yard, he was stopped by a beautiful woman who came back with Du Xiaoyi.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Cui'er asked with a smile.

Although she had never practiced, she had been in charge of auctioning treasures in the Treasure Pavilion for many years, and no matter how noisy the environment was, she could hear very subtle movements, which was a basic skill.

The little abacus of these village women just now was naturally listened to by her.

Several people looked at each other, but no one dared to come out like this, and they didn't want to offend this plague god, so they could only bow their heads and be silent.

"It's nothing if you don't say it." Cui'er pointed in the direction of the end of the village, "Zhang Daxian said that a ceremony to worship the heavens will be held at dusk, so that you all can pass." ”

"Isn't it tomorrow night? What's more, the old woman is dead, who is Zhang Daxian going to burn? One of the village women asked boldly.

Cui'er spread her hands, "You go and ask Zhang Daxian this question, the little woman doesn't know." ”

When a few people heard this, they were puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they had to laugh a few times, and reluctantly walked towards the west, turning back three times in one step.

Cui'er looked at the backs of several people, sighed slightly, and walked towards the blackened earthen house.

"Master Du, Lord Ye has arranged it for you, do you want to take the old man to take a look?"

Du Xiaoyi suppressed his crying, slowly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and gently picked up the old man wrapped in the bedding.

"Let's go!"

It was getting late, and the sun was disappearing little by little at the foot of the western mountain, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed fiery red, the same color as the bonfire that was lit in front of the Taoist temple.

The crowd was crowded, and the men, women, and children of the Straw Hat Village gathered here, looking at the closed vermilion gate and discussing, wondering why Zhang Daxian suddenly changed his plan and advanced the ceremony of worshipping the heavens to tonight.

Two ignorant children took a dead branch to the campfire and started a fire, laughing loudly while playing.

"I'm going to burn the old woman! I'm going to burn the old woman! ”

But no one stopped such a move, in their hearts, even if Du Xiaoyi made some money, he couldn't advocate destroying their worship ceremony, which was related to the harvest of the entire village next year, but it was a big deal!

The old woman is looking for her own death during the day, and it is better to use waste and make more contributions to the village than to let her die in vain!

Besides, the immortal brought by Du Xiaoyi has all spoken to agree to the matter of sacrificing to the sky, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks!

On the path, Du Xiaoyi hugged her grandmother and walked over with an expressionless face.

The sharp-eyed villager shook his head when he saw it, "Alas, if you die, you will die, and you will burn it the same." ”

"Come and tie up the old woman, and I'll burn it later!" A dark-skinned man beckoned a few people around him to walk towards Du Xiaoyi.

This kind of work of touching the dead, of course, has to be done by these young boys with strong firepower.

Several people's faces were full of course, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, so they had to pick up the old man in Du Xiaoyi's arms.

"Get out of here!"

Du Xiaoyi glared angrily, flew up a few feet and kicked the person directly, maybe the force was not well controlled, or it could be intentional.

These feet were so powerful that a few people didn't even react, and the next moment they collapsed on the ground and vomited blood!

Seeing this, the nearby villagers gathered around one after another.

"Du Xiaoyi, don't think that you can come back to show off your martial arts after learning a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu outside! Delay the time to sacrifice to the heavens, and you will die with the old woman! ”

"That's right, it's not easy for you to bring back that housekeeper, with Zhang Daxian to support us, I don't believe he can set off any waves!"

Cui'er on the side saw that Du Xiaoyi was trembling all over, and was already on the verge of eruption, so she hurriedly pressed his shoulder.

"Listen to Lord Ye, don't be impulsive."

Squeak –

The door of the Taoist temple was pushed open.

"Heaven still has to be sacrificed, but tonight it is the real damned people who are burned!" Ye Ming's voice floated out from inside.

I saw that he had one hand on the left and right, and threw Zhao Laosan and Zhang Daxian, who were bound by vines, next to the fire!
