Chapter 247 Leading the Heroic Soul Home 2
The boy happily stood up from the ground and continued to float towards Country C.
"They don't like coming to the Broken Bridge. It means their motherland is so close, but they can't go back. That feeling is too painful."
"Then why do you always stay there?"
Qing Yanrou followed behind him and listened to him speak, then asked him with some confusion.
"Because I can see my home from there. My home is Anton's. Oh no, it seems the name has been changed now?"
When the boy in front talked about home, an expression of deep nostalgia appeared on his face. Then he thought about the name of his hometown that had been changed, and he scratched his head.
"Well, it's changed to Dandong, which means the Red Oriental City."
"Anton, Dandong, Dandong, the Red Oriental City, Dandong, what a beautiful name, I like it."
The boy kept repeating the word "Dandong" and the smile on his face gradually widened.
The originally pale and bloodless face actually seemed to have a little more life at this moment.
"I'll take you back later, and then you can take a good tour of that heroic city."
"good."
The boy responded loudly and smiled brightly.
——
"Old squad leader, we can go home now!!!"
The boy shouted excitedly and ran into a dilapidated unfinished building.
"Xiao Ankang, what are you yelling about?"
A rough voice came from inside, and then several figures that were obviously more powerful than Xiao Ankang's soul appeared in front of him.
"Hmm? What's following you?"
Among them, the male ghost with the most powerful soul looked outside with vigilance, and protected Xiao Ankang's soul behind him.
"Yeah, that's a Taoist priest from our own country. She was originally sent by Zhao Jianguo's sister to take him home, but he went back, so I asked her if she could lead us back."
Before Xiao Ankang's voice fell, Qing Yanrou walked in confidently. Seeing the souls of more than a dozen martyrs, she was filled with awe and a serious expression on her face. She earnestly gave them a standard military salute.
"Is the little girl really a Taoist priest?"
Seeing her salute, they couldn't help but return the salute. The old squad leader was a little suspicious at first, but when he saw her salute seriously, he became less guarded.
"Hello, I am here in the form of a spirit body. I think it is very convincing."
"Then can you guarantee that they will all be brought back home safely?"
A hint of satisfaction flashed across the old squad leader's face, but then he frowned and looked at her seriously and asked.
"I swear on my life that I will send you back to your country safely."
Qing Yanrou also had a serious face and answered very seriously.
"I won't be going back for the time being. Just help me take them back."
"Squad Leader—"
"Squad Leader—"
"Old squad leader——"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the confused and excited voices of others behind him.
Even Qing Yanrou looked at him in confusion.
"If you can help me take them back, I will be very grateful. As for me, I will just wait and go back with the skeletons."
The old squad leader first signaled his comrades with his hands to calm down, and after calming them down, he smiled and spoke to her.
"This is what I should do. I will definitely lead them back to their country safely and personally send them to reincarnation. They will definitely have a happy family in their next life."
"Thank you, little girl. Deputy monitor, take them and follow the Taoist priest."
After saying that, the old squad leader turned around and stopped looking at them.
"No, old squad leader, I want to go with you and follow the skeleton."
Xiao Ankang floated to his side with a sad face, not wanting to leave him here alone.
"Yes, none of us know how to do it anymore. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. We will wait with you."
"right."
"right."
As Xiao Ankang's voice fell, there were also decisive responses from a dozen soldiers behind him.
"This is an order! Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Now that you've become a ghost, you won't obey my orders?"
The old squad leader was so angry that he turned around and roared angrily with only the whites of his eyes left.
After being yelled at by him, the others instantly became like little quails, not daring to speak anymore. They could only look at him with stubborn faces.
"You can go back first. I will give the old squad leader some Yin Gathering Talismans. He will be fine. You can stay in the underworld first. I will go to the underworld to meet you after you return home."
Seeing that they were unwilling to give in to each other, Qing Yanrou spoke.
"Are you serious?"
The other dozen or so people stared at her as she spoke, and asked excitedly.
"Yeah, absolutely true."
"Won't the underworld force us to reincarnate? After all, we've been dead for decades."
Although he got her promise, the deputy monitor still asked with some concern.
"Of course not. There are still thousand-year-old ghosts in the underworld who haven't been reincarnated yet. They won't force you."
After hearing her say this, everyone felt relieved.
"Alright, you guys go back with her. I'll come find you after the last of the skeletons have returned."
The old squad leader's expression softened at this moment, and he spoke to them in a soft voice.
Everyone else knew why he did this, after all, the remains of many of their comrades were still lying on this land.
They are fortunate that their souls still exist in this world, so of course we must protect their bones.
"Please wait here. After I cross the Broken Bridge and return to my body, I will send a paper figurine to bring you the Gathering Yin Talisman. Although you are protected by the national destiny of Country C, you will be safer with the Gathering Yin Talisman."
Qing Yanrou said solemnly to the old squad leader. He originally wanted to say that it was not necessary, but when he saw the concerned looks of his other comrades, he finally nodded.
The old squad leader stood there and watched the heroic souls of his dozen or so comrades pass away, and then followed the little girl and headed towards the motherland.
