Volume 1 Chapter 482: Both Parents Died
Jiang Li continued to be stunned. He didn't know how to respond to Xiang Yun's words. It was obviously the first time he and Xiang Yun met, but the other party acted very close to him. Jiang Li was a little uncomfortable with this.
Xiang Yun stretched out his hand to him and asked, "Come with me, okay?"
Jiang Li did not move, his face full of hesitation. Xiang Yun did not speak either, quietly waiting for Jiang Li's choice.
If Jiang Li is willing to go with him, he will raise him until he grows up. If Jiang Li is unwilling, he will teach Jiang Li skills and give him enough gold and silver to keep himself well-fed and well-clothed.
After a long time, Jiang Li looked up at Xiang Yun sincerely and asked, "Uncle, where are you taking me?"
Xiang Yun smiled and said, "As long as you are willing, from now on, wherever your uncle goes, you will go. If you see something interesting along the way and want to stop, you can do so at any time."
Jiang Li nodded when he heard this, then he reached out and held Xiang Yun's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, I am willing to go with you, but can you tell me what kind of person my father is?"
Xiang Yun was relieved and felt a lot in his heart. He looked into the distance and said softly: "Uncle will take you to see him now."
Afterwards, Xiang Yun took Jiang Li's hand and slowly left. They did not fly, nor did they use any spiritual energy to speed up their journey. They just relied on their pair of flesh feet, the big and the small, to slowly move forward on the official road together.
Three hours later, Xiang Yun brought Jiang Li to Jiang Fei's grave. Jiang Li had a bamboo basket in his hand, and inside the basket were colorful pieces of paper.
Xiang Yun said, "Kneel down."
Jiang Li stood in front of Jiang Fei's grave, staring at the words on the tombstone in a daze, completely at a loss. His uncle said he would bring him to see his father, but what he saw... was a grave, a grave that was extremely unfamiliar to him.
Seeing that Jiang Li didn't move, Xiang Yun kicked Jiang Li in the knee, forcing him to kneel down in front of Jiang Fei's grave.
Severe pain spread throughout Jiang Li's body, but he didn't know whether to be angry or sad. At the same time, he couldn't feel any resentment towards his uncle. This feeling was too strange and he couldn't understand it.
"kowtow!"
Xiang Yun's stern words came again, and Jiang Li had no choice but to do as he was told and kowtowed three times to the tombstone. Xiang Yun nodded in satisfaction and pointed at the colorful pieces of paper in the bamboo basket and said, "Go, hang them up and place them on the grave."
Jiang Li did as he was told and lifted up the pieces of paper. He could see that they were all connected together to form a long strip. Hanging this thing on the grave was called "Gua Qing".
After Jiang Li finished hanging the tomb, Xiang Yunze sighed, "White paper floats on the grave of a son, and green grass and trees grow on the grave of a sonless man. Jiang Fei, you have someone to take over your life, and you will rest in peace down there. I hope I can reincarnate soon. I hope I can see you again in this life."
Jiang Li still stood stupidly in front of the grave. Xiang Yun said to him, "From now on, if you have time, every February 23rd, you must come to this grave to sweep the grave for your father and let him take a good look at you. Do you understand?"
Jiang Li nodded blankly, but Xiang Yun was a little worried. Why did Jiang Li become so stupid? He shouldn't have this kind of personality.
Could it be that the stimulation was too great?
Xiang Yun asked him a few more questions, but Jiang Li still didn't say anything. He just shook his head. Xiang Yun had no choice but to give up and asked again, "Where is your mother buried?"
Jiang Li then replied: "Uncle, are you going to worship my mother?"
Xiang Yun said: "It's not me, it's you!"
"Your mother had a miserable life. She didn't receive much blessing when she married your father. They were together for less than a year. So as a son, you should let them live a good life together after they die. Do you understand?"
Jiang Li still didn't quite understand, so Xiang Yun had to add: "Go dig out your mother's coffin and bury it next to your father. Only in this way will the two of them not be lonely in the underworld."
Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully again. In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened and it was night. Xiang Yun took Jiang Li to a nearby city to eat some food. Jiang Li's appetite was not very big. Although his stomach was growling all the time, he just nodded when Xiang Yun called him to eat.
Xiang Yun had no choice but to take him all the way to Susan's grave. He asked Jiang Li to dig out Susan's coffin bit by bit overnight. Then Xiang Yun lifted the coffin with one hand and held Jiang Li's hand with the other, and returned to Jiang Yue's grave step by step.
When everything was done and the new grave mounds were piled up, it was almost dawn, and Jiang Li knelt in front of the two graves, silent for a long time.
Xiang Yun felt a little sad for some reason, and said softly: "Uncle is going to do something first, you just wait here for uncle, I will definitely come to pick you up."
Then Xiang Yun disappeared. Actually, nothing happened to him. He just realized that Jiang Li had a very strong self-esteem. If he stayed by Jiang Li's side all the time, he would get suffocated.
Sure enough, within twenty minutes, Jiang Li, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly burst into tears. His cry was miserable, long and distant. Xiang Yun, who was far away, saw this scene and his eyes unconsciously turned red.
Losing both parents at a young age is a kind of grief that others cannot understand. Xiang Yun feels extremely sad whenever he thinks about it.
Soon Jiang Li rushed towards Jiang Fei's tombstone, crying, and hung on it, crying in a daze.
Jiang Li had actually always had fantasies about his father in his heart. After all, he had never seen his father. His mother said that he was dead, but there was no body or grave. So he had always had hope in his heart, deceiving himself that his father was not dead, but was actually alive, just far away and could not come back, but one day he would come back to find him.
At that time, he was a man with a father!
However, Xiang Yun's arrival directly shattered this illusory hope in his heart. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and he was stunned for the whole day.
He knew that this was the fact and he should accept it, but why did he feel so sad? He knew Xiang Yun was doing this for his own good and was a good uncle, but why did he feel resentful towards him? Was this another sign of immaturity?
Jiang Li was worried and had a lot on his mind, but he could only think about it. The most painful thing in his heart was the reality that both his parents had passed away.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye. Jiang Li suddenly stopped crying. Xiang Yun saw that he was motionless from a distance, so he quickly came to Jiang Li's side, bent down to take a look, and found that Jiang Li was too sad and fell asleep while crying.
When Xiang Yun saw him sleeping, tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes. Xiang Yun felt pain in his heart again. He gently picked up Jiang Li, looked at Jiang Fei's grave and said, "I will take good care of this child. You two can rest assured."
After saying this, Xiang Yun turned around and walked away, entering the forest.
When Jiang Li woke up again, he found himself in a guest room of an inn. He got up in panic and saw Xiang Yun sitting at the table next to him, drinking tea.
Xiang Yun saw him wake up, raised his hand and a package appeared on the table: "This is the new clothes prepared for you, go and try them to see if they fit you."
Jiang Li quickly got out of bed and ran over. He opened the package and found that the clothes inside were actually the same pure white robe that Xiang Yun was wearing. He was a little surprised. He looked at Xiang Yun, didn't say much, and went back to bed to change clothes.
