Chapter 1060 Worship

When I passed by the market, I bought some cooked food and wine. Hu Zi was responsible for carrying them on his back, and then said to me: "Qian Yu, a monument was built in the original grain field in front of our village. The names of the deceased villagers were engraved on it. I worshiped it when I went back last time, but... there is something strange, that is, someone had already worshiped it before I worshipped it."

After hearing Hu Zi's words, I was stunned, and then asked: "Could it be Miao Cuicui?"

"No." Hu Zi shook his head.

I thought so too. After Miao Cuicui turned into a mother demon, she actually had no feelings for the entire Xu Village.

Her parents not only did not protect her, but also forced her to marry Liu Lao San because they were afraid that getting pregnant before marriage would bring shame to the family. Such people are unworthy of being mothers. It's good that Miao Cuicui doesn't hate them.

As for the rest of the villagers, they also turned a blind eye to this matter. There was no reason for Miao Cuicui to go to worship.

"Is it... someone from the Xu family?" I asked again.

"I asked, and it's not them." Hu Zi shook his head: "Moreover, the people of the Xu family are very strange. The gate is closed all day long, and there is no one in the Xu family compound. In the past, the Xu family was a big family in our village, but since the last incident, the Xu family has declined, and now the family servants are not very prosperous. Moreover, there seemed to be some accidents when suppressing the ancient tomb, which caused the eldest son of the Xu family to die directly in the ancient tomb. Now the person in charge of the Xu family is the second son of the Xu family, Xu Zhengchun. I feel that the Xu family... should be too busy to take care of themselves, and there are not many living people."

I nodded when I heard it.

In the past, the Xu family was the largest family in our village. A large family is not only reflected in the fact that the Xu family has a solid economic foundation, but also in the fact that the Xu family has a large population.

But after that incident, the old man of the Xu family died suddenly, and the Xu family members were also killed or injured. It is estimated that the inheritance of the Xu family is probably going to be cut off.

Originally, I planned to take a taxi back, but Hu Zi shook his head and said, "It's impossible to get a taxi."

"Why?" I looked puzzled.

"Although the matter of our village has been suppressed by the authorities, it is inevitable that some rumors have spread. Now, people in the town are very secretive about our village. Even the two words Xu Village have become a taboo in our town. Not to mention taking a taxi back to the village, if you say you are from Xu Village, everyone will avoid you like the plague."

Since we can't get a taxi, we can only walk back.

Fortunately, everyone is a cultivator and has plenty of energy. This distance is nothing for us.

But to my surprise, even Xu Nian never complained of being tired along the way, and he never fell behind. I looked at him and saw that his eyes were full of excitement. Obviously, he was full of expectations for the Xu Village and the Xu family that were about to arrive.

Half an hour later, the outline of our village could be seen from a distance.

Seeing the familiar outline, my heart was a little excited, but at the same time, there was also a trace of...faint worry and fear in my heart.

I knew what I was afraid of.

I was afraid of seeing a dead village, afraid of seeing the monument engraved with the names of all the villagers.

More than an hour later, I finally stood at the entrance of our village again.

I did not go into the village directly, but stood at the entrance, staring at the dead silence of the village in a daze.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and this time was the time to make breakfast, but the houses in the village were still there, but no chimney was smoking.

The whole village was terribly silent, without even the sound of dogs barking or livestock.

"Qian Yu, go in." Hu Zi patted my shoulder, then carried his things and walked to the threshing ground in front of the village.

I took a deep breath and followed him.

Behind me were Mao Buhui, Mu Yunxi, and Xu Nian. As for Xiao Qi, he had been sitting listlessly on Mu Yunxi's shoulder. It seemed that he didn't sleep well last night because of the noise we made.

From a distance, I saw a tall monument standing on the threshing ground. The monument was about three meters high and stood alone on the threshing ground, like a tombstone, giving people a very desolate feeling. When

he got closer, Hu Zi spread out the cooked food he bought, then opened the wine bottles and poured more than ten bottles of white wine in front of the monument.

"Dear fellow villagers, I brought Qian Yu back to see you. If you are still alive, I hope you can bless every child who left our Xu Village. After all... there are not many survivors in our Xu Village."

Hu Zi sighed, then stood up, stepped back, and bowed deeply three times to the monument.

But I stood there, staring at the monument in a daze.

I looked at the name on the monument.

Who would have thought that these simple, scribbled words represent a life, a person's life that is not exciting but full of disasters and difficulties.

Finally, I finally found the name I had been looking for for a long time on the tombstone.

"Sister Hong..."

My eyes were wet, and I choked and called out.

Sister Hong is a good friend of my senior sister who grew up together. Later, something happened in our village. Sister Hong was not only defiled by Liu Kuizi, but also her body was destroyed. It can be said that her death was extremely miserable.

I have never mentioned this to my senior sister. It is not that I don’t want to mention it, but I dare not.

Because I am afraid that my senior sister will be sad and feel guilty.

I also know that although my senior sister has never asked, she is actually deliberately avoiding it.

I thought I had forgotten these things long ago, but when I saw Sister Hong’s name, Sister Hong’s miserable death once again appeared in front of me like a nightmare, making me choke up, and at the same time, a ball of anger rose in my heart again.

I took a deep breath and whispered, "Sister Hong, Liu Guizi is dead. I have avenged you. If you are still alive, please rest in peace."

After that, I opened the bottle in my hand, turned the bottle mouth downward, and slowly poured the whole bottle of wine on this land that I once loved deeply.

"My fellow villagers, one day, I will personally kill the people who set up the formation and killed you. Rest in peace."

After that, I drank the last sip of wine in the bottle and bowed deeply three times to the monument.

Mao Buhui, Mu Yunxi, Xu Nian, even Xiao Qi, stood behind me and bowed deeply three times.

After that, I turned around and left.

The breeze blew and patted my body. The gentle wind seemed to have turned into countless hands at this moment, pulling my clothes and stroking my sleeves, as if... they were reluctant to let me leave.

It was as if they were stroking away the dust that covered me.
