The witch passed away.

Han Cheng felt empty, as if he had lost many things all at once...

Three days later, a large pile of firewood was built at a place on the west side of the valley.

The neatly tidied witch was also carried by Han Cheng, the second senior brother and others and placed on the pile of firewood.

Looking at the witch lying quietly on the firewood for a long, long time, Han Chengcai finally gave the order to light the fire with difficulty.

There was no other way, the witch said, he wanted to bury him in the Qingque main tribe.

That is the root of the tribe and where he has lived all his life.

Now that he is dead, he doesn't want to be anywhere else. He wants to return to the place where he was born and raised and where he feels familiar.

The starting residential area is too far away from the main tribe. If cremation is not carried out, it will be impossible to transport the witch's body back safely.

The only thing they could do was to transport the witch's ashes and then bury them in the main tribe.

When the firewood that was poured with oil met the fire, huge flames immediately jumped up.

The witch who was lying there quietly was suddenly surrounded by flames.

Han Cheng stared at it for a while, then turned his head away unable to bear it.

He didn't want to just watch Wu, a respected old man in the tribe, being burned to death.

Yuan and Wu’s youngest daughter is not here. This was a decision made by Han Cheng.

When the witch was carried here from the house, he asked them to follow along, and then said a simple farewell. Then, under Han Cheng's arrangement, they left here accompanied by some women in the tribe and returned to the tribe's residential area.

Cremating their relatives in front of Yuan and Wu's little daughter, and in a way that could be seen by the naked eye, Han Cheng felt that this was too cruel for Yuan and the others.

Han Cheng wanted them to keep some good memories of Wu.

In the memories, there cannot be any scene of witches being cremated.

That's too cruel...

The flames were burning fiercely, and Han Cheng couldn't help but feel sad as he smelled the unpleasant odor in the air.

When he thought that from now on, even if the old man Wu was completely dead, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Standing here, unable to feel the burning flames, when someone in the tribe said that everything was healed, Han Chengcai finally turned his head slowly and cast his gaze towards the place where the witch had been lying before.

At this time, all the firewood there had disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes.

Also disappearing was the beloved Wu.

Han Cheng stood there in a daze for a while, then walked forward and personally picked up the witch's bones from the ashes one by one and placed them in a small coffin that had been prepared earlier.

The bottom of the coffin was lined with yellow cloth, and the inside of the lid was covered with a layer of blue cloth.

Yellow represents the earth and blue represents the sky.

After picking up the bone fragments one by one and making sure that there were no more, Han Cheng, with the help of his second senior brother, Junior Brother Sha and others, closed the lid of the small coffin.

Then, holding an axe in one hand and a tomb nail in the other, with red eyes, he nailed the tomb nails into the coffin one by one, sealing the entire coffin.

After the coffin was sealed, Han Cheng was stunned for a while, then he and his second senior brother, junior brother Sha, Shitou and others personally carried the witch's coffin all the way back to the starting residential area, and carried the witch's coffin to the place where the witch's body was placed before.

When Yuan saw Wu's coffin being carried over, her face was already covered in tears. She could not help but burst into tears. She threw herself on the side of the coffin, holding onto the edge of the coffin with her hands, and cried her heart out.

The witch's little daughter probably knew at this time that her father was put into the wooden box. Seeing her mother crying so sadly, she couldn't help but cry with her.

This sad cry caused everyone present to burst into tears...

The nineteenth year of Qingque was a year of achievement and joy for the people of the Qingque tribe, but also a year of infinite sadness and grief.

During this year, the people of the Qingque tribe set sail and came all the way to the big island across the sea. They brought back some specialties and some people from there and returned safely.

The dog Xiaofu, who had been missing for more than ten years, once again returned to the main tribe...

However, the tribe's beloved witch passed away completely this winter, bidding farewell to the tribe for which he had always worked hard and worried.

Han Cheng and others spent the winter of that year in the Qidian residential area.

They did not leave the starting residential area and returned.

Because it was getting colder outside, some people got frostbite when they came here. If they were in a hurry to go back at this time, the damage to them would be even greater.

Moreover, because Wu had passed away at that time, Han Cheng had no energy to do anything, so he decided to spend the winter of last year here...

People cannot remain depressed like this forever. If they continue to be depressed for a long time, it will cause great harm to themselves and others.

So when the New Year was approaching, Han Cheng sorted himself out and slowly came out of his previous heaviness and grief.

He began to call on people living in the Qidian residential area to work together to prepare for the coming year.

He also personally participated in activities such as grinding tofu and slaughtering cattle and sheep.

After all, 'New Year's Eve dinner is prepared by everyone.'

It tastes better when everyone works together.

With Han Cheng, the son of God of the Qingque tribe, personally leading the atmosphere here, and the New Year approaching, the people in the tribe gradually began to come out of the grief of the witch's death, and began to prepare for the coming New Year here with Han Cheng...

A blazing bonfire was lit and deafening firecrackers exploded!

The end of the nineteenth year of Qingque has finally arrived.

While eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Han Cheng placed a stool next to him and put a set of bowls and chopsticks on it.

This stool is empty.

This is reserved for the witch.

Although he already knew that Wu was gone...

Life has its ups and downs, gains and losses. Some things are within human control, while others are beyond human control. These things interweave and intertwine to build our lives...

As time goes by, the ice and snow on the ground melt, the weather warms up, and the grass turns green again.

In this chilly spring season, Han Cheng and his companions, who had spent a winter in the Qidian residential area, set out from here. They carried some supplies and the coffin containing the witch, and headed towards the edge of the grassland.

They are about to return to the main tribe and transport the witch's body back to the main tribe for burial.

The team moved forward, passing through the Sanxingdui residential area, Tieshan residential area, and Jinguan City...

As the team moved forward, it also left behind a lot of sadness and regret.

The people of the Qingque tribe felt endless grief over the death of Wu.

After resting in Jinguan City for five days, the team set out again, heading towards the vast mountains...

After some time, when the mountain flowers were in full bloom, Han Cheng and his group came out from the depths of the mountains and arrived at the Qinling residential area.

The people in the Qinling residential area, seeing the Son of God and his companions return, had not had time to be happy before their eyes were attracted by the small coffin carried by the Son of God, Second Senior Brother, Junior Brother Sha, and Shitou. They could not help but feel sad...

The burial of the witch did not begin until nearly a month after Han Cheng and others returned to the Qingque main tribe.

The main purpose is to notify the important people in the tribe who are scattered in various residential areas to return to the main tribe and send the witch off together with everyone else...

On the day of burying the witch, the weather was bad and the whole sky was gloomy, just like the mood of the people in the Qingque tribe.

The grave pit was dug, and the witch's coffin was carried over by Han Cheng, the eldest brother, and several very important people in the tribe, and placed safely in the grave pit.

Under the leadership of Han Cheng, everyone looked at the coffin placed safely in the grave pit for a while, and then began to fill it with soil.

Yuan, the witch's wife, was not that sad at first, but at this moment, she could not control her emotions all of a sudden.

She fell to the ground, unable to hold back her grief...

In the coffin, besides the witch's clothes, there were also the soil and stones that he had picked up himself when he was alive.

There are also some things that Wu liked when he was alive.

These things were buried here with the witch, accompanying her in another way...

I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if God also had some emotions and felt the sadness of the Qingque tribe people. After Han Cheng and others buried the witch and erected a tombstone, a thunder sounded in the gloomy sky, and then heavy rain continued to fall, making the atmosphere extremely sad.

Han Cheng stood in the rain, facing the witch's grave, and stood quietly for a while, his face covered with water.

I don’t know if it is rain or tears.

After a while, he returned to the main tribe with everyone else.

Those who have passed away are gone, and those who are still alive need to continue living.

Sadness is inevitable, but you can't keep feeling sad and stop living your real life.

If this is true, then the sadness will become even more severe, making people live in misery.

On the third day after the witch was buried, the key figures from various settlements left the Qingque main tribe at Han Cheng's urging and once again set out on the journey back to their settlements to continue what they had been doing before, working hard and making contributions to the development of the Qingque tribe...

In the 21st year of Qingque, the large fleet of the Qingque tribe, led by Xiong Youpipi, once again set out from the Hukou residential area and sailed downstream.

This time, what they were going to do was no longer a journey between the lower reaches of the river and the Hukou residential area as in previous times, but they were preparing to go on another long sea voyage.

Under the watchful eyes of Han Cheng, the son of God of the Qingque tribe, the fleet raised its sails and set off from the Hukou residential area, heading downstream.

After more than a year of busy work, the tribe once again had a large sailing ship, which was even larger than the largest one in the previous fleet.

The entire fleet has now reached the size of six sailing ships.

Xiong Youpi and others were no longer afraid of long journeys, because after that journey, they had verified the correctness of the words of the Son of God through their own experience.

The large ship sailed on the river and had friendly exchanges with many tribes along the river along the way.

Received love from the Qingque tribe.

At the same time, the Qingque tribe also gained admiration from a large number of people.

Before, when the Qingque tribe was sailing on the road, a tribe could not stand the Qingque tribe's temptation and chose to join the Qingque tribe...

When the people of the Hekou Tribe saw the Green Bird Tribe's very iconic sailboat appear on the river, they couldn't help but become happy.

Because they knew that with the arrival of the Qingque tribe, they would be able to get a lot of good things.

Those things are only available in the Qingque tribe.

They, and the rest of the tribe, had absolutely nothing like it.

After some communication, when the people of the Hekou tribe learned that the people of the Qingque tribe were preparing to set sail again, although they were surprised, they did not say anything to dissuade them.

Because before, the people of the Qingque tribe had already proved the ignorance of the people of the Hekou tribe with their actual actions.

After staying here for more than a day, the fleet of the Qingque tribe, led by the team leader Xiong Youpi, once again raised their sails and set off from here.

This time, the place they were heading to was no longer the island across the sea. Instead, after sailing the boat into the deep sea for a while, they turned the boat around and headed south along the coast.

The big island across the way, they had been there, and there they found lobsters, that kind of thing.

That island no longer has much meaning to them, at least not in the short term.

Therefore, after some discussion with the Son of God, they decided to travel southwards on this journey.

Because further south and in other places farther away, in the telling of the Son of God, there are more seeds.

Every one of those seeds, if brought back, would cause a sensation within the tribe and would be extremely useful to the tribe.

Compared with the last long journey, this one makes people feel much more at ease.

Because this time they were not too far from the sea. Instead, they went south along the coast, within sight of the sea.

Being able to see the earth and knowing that you and others are not too far away from it will give you an indescribable sense of peace...
