charity cemetery
Yu Xiaoye: "Ah Weng, her name is Ruan Zhaozhao, and she is a new disciple of the Jueqing Sect."
The old man was surprised, "The Jueqing Sect is starting to accept disciples again?"
Yu Xiaoye quickly said, "No, no, it was the Grandmaster and the Sect Leader who made an exception."
The old man nodded. "So that's how it is. It seems this girl has a connection with the immortals. I think her clothes are quite expensive. But who is she from?"
Yu Xiaoye said vaguely, "Zhao Zhao got lost from her family. She will find them later."
The old man drove the ox cart onto the road and let the two men sit on the haystack.
Ruan Zhaozhao climbed up and lay on his back.
Yu Xiaoye sat next to her.
Afraid that Ruan Zhaozhao would feel bored, he made a pony out of straw and said, "Zhaozhao, this is for you."
Ruan Zhaozhao took the pony and suddenly had an idea, "Brother Xiaoye, can you make a few more?"
Yu Xiaoye nodded, "Sure."
So he listened to Ruan Zhaozhao and made a few more ponies.
With the pony, Ruan Zhaozhao asked if he could make some cars...
"arrive."
The old man stopped the ox cart and looked back at the two children. "It's really late to go out today. You should go early and come back early."
Yu Xiaoye: "It's okay, Aong, you can go back first."
The old man shook his head and smiled: "I'll go to my daughter's house to check. There's no rush. Do you remember where it is?"
Yu Xiaoye had been there with him once before and remembered the way. "Okay, we'll find you when we go back."
"Well, be careful, don't follow the bad guys." The old man touched his head. He thought, even so, Xiao Ye is a disciple of the Jueqing Sect. As long as the three words "Jueqing Sect" are mentioned, no one dares to mess around...
Seeing the two children going to the market, the old man pulled the ox cart towards his daughter's home.
"Wow, it's a scarecrow war!"
Several children yelled at him.
The old man turned around and saw a group of straw-woven oxen, horses, and carts standing on the haystack. The two sides were facing each other and were actually fighting. It was hilarious.
·
Ruan Zhaozhao was so hungry that he felt dizzy and dizzy.
The two of them entered a restaurant, and the waiter came over and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Ruan Zhaozhao lay on the table, weakly saying, "I want to eat meat!"
Yu Xiaoye nodded, "Brother, please serve the three meat dishes and one vegetable dish first."
He placed the silver ingot on the table and said, "We have enough money."
The waiter shook off his sweat towel, said "OK", and went into the kitchen.
After a while, the food was served. Ruan Zhaozhao's eyes lit up and he began to eat with relish.
Yu Xiaoye helped her pick up some food and said, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
The voice of the person sitting next to me became louder, attracting attention.
The man in green: "Have you heard? A peerless genius has emerged from the Canghai Sect!"
The man in gray said, "I've heard that too. That young man is only about twelve or thirteen years old, but he's already a half-step master! I heard that even those disciples in their thirties or forties can't beat him."
The man in white said disdainfully, "It must have been created by some aristocratic family who poured their resources into this. Now, the three states all follow the Canghai Sect's lead. Those aristocratic families can't wait to send their children to the Canghai Sect as soon as they're born. Even if we ordinary people have some talent, it will be worn out by friction. How can we compare to those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths?"
The gray-clothed man slammed the table and laughed, "Brother Wu, you're wrong this time. This genius is called 'Xiao Yichen'. He comes from a humble background. I heard he came from the mountains of Dongzhou and was accidentally discovered by the elders of Canghai Sect. He has only been in the sect for a year."
The man in white was stunned. "Really? If he becomes the leader of Canghai Sect in the future, wouldn't that be a good thing for ordinary people like us?"
The gray-clothed man shook his head. "That's only if he doesn't forget his roots. I heard the Jiang family of Zhongzhou, the Gong family of Xizhou, and the Ling family of Dongzhou are all interested in marrying their daughters to him. If he really agrees, he might become a knife stabbing us in the future."
The man in green: "I don't think so. He chose Elder Lu of Canghai Sect."
Gray-clothed man: "But Lu Zhi?"
The man in green nodded. "Yes, it's Lu Zhi, the man who 'slashed through the heavens with one sword and purged all demons from the world.' He was the leader of the suppression of the evil heretics. He hates evil and is upright and self-disciplined, having long since detached himself from the world. After the successful extermination of the demon, many people wanted him to become the sect leader, but he refused, remaining aloof and devoting himself to cultivation. Now, to prevent Xiao Yichen, a promising young man, from falling into the hands of aristocratic families, he has come out of seclusion to accept a disciple."
The man in white clapped his hands: "That's great!"
Yu Xiaoye listened intently, "Lu Zhi..."
Ruan Zhaozhao was concentrating on eating and didn't pay any attention to what was being said next door.
It was the system that reminded her: "The protagonist has appeared."
Where there is a villain, there is a protagonist.
Ruan Zhaozhao slowed down his chewing. "Which one?"
System: "Xiao Yichen."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "The protagonist and the villain are irreconcilable, he should be afraid."
The system explained: "The villains and heroes in this world grow in sync. As long as they haven't completely turned evil, they won't go to war with the protagonist. However, there will definitely be something that will prompt them to turn evil."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "What's the matter?"
The system doesn't know either. "This requires you, the host, to actively explore."
Ruan Zhaozhao bit his chopsticks and said, "Although you don't know much, as long as the request I make is beneficial to the mission and you can do it, you won't refuse me, such as staying in the Jueqing Sect, right?"
She has a really sharp sense of observation.
The system admitted, "That's right."
"I understand." Ruan Zhaozhao lowered his head and continued eating.
After eating and drinking, Ruan Zhaozhao burped while sitting on the chair.
Yu Xiaoye ate just as much, and both of them burped while touching their stomachs.
The waiter found some silver and asked, "Would you two like to stay at the hotel tonight?"
Yu Xiaoye put the silver into his pocket and said, "No need. We plan to go to the evening market."
The nights in Fengle Town are still very lively.
Yu Xiaoye first took Ruan Zhaozhao to the clothing store and bought some clothes.
He was worried that Ruan Zhaozhao's family might change their minds and come looking for her again, so he asked the boss to pack up her original clothes.
Ruan Zhaozhao jumped up and down in her new clothes, and it seemed that she was quite satisfied.
I'm glad you don't mind. Yu Xiaoye smiled.
Yu Xiaoye asked Ruan Zhaozhao to see if there was anything else he wanted to buy. Ruan Zhaozhao looked around as he walked, and went into a snack shop to buy some food, but didn't want anything else.
On the way, a few hooligans tried to rob them of their money. Yu Xiaoye just said that he was from the Jueqing Sect, and the hooligans fled in panic.
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Is the Jueqing Sect really scary?"
Yu Xiaoye explained, "It's not that they're scary. The headmaster originally asked the brothers and sisters to go down the mountain regularly to clear out the bandits within a hundred miles of Xiaoqing Mountain. They've been beaten and scared, and they're afraid of the Jueqing Sect. Look, it's so late, and there's still a late market in Fengle Town. We can still leave the city, which means there aren't many bad guys."
Ruan Zhaozhao sighed, "How tragic."
"That's right. If it weren't for our brothers and sisters, the people around here would be in dire straits." Yu Xiaoye said with relief, "Zhao Zhao, our brothers and sisters are actually very nice people. They just look at us strangely."
The system was puzzled. Based on its understanding of Ruan Zhaozhao, she didn't seem to be feeling sorry for the people. "Who are you saying is miserable?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Four villains."
As expected, the system was glad that it had no nerves, "Why?"
Ruan Zhaozhao shrugged. "Being forced to do something decent, isn't that miserable? It's too miserable."
system:"……"
After visiting the evening market, the two walked towards the old man’s daughter’s home.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw it suddenly open and the old man was pushed out by a woman.
The woman said in embarrassment: "Dad, please don't come here again. I will ask someone to send you some money."
The old man was so angry that he was shaking all over. "I'm your father! Is there any reason in the world for a daughter to chase her father away?!"
"Dad," the woman pleaded in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to keep you, but, but they all know that you're the bodyguard at the charity cemetery. My parents-in-law think you're unlucky. I finally gave birth to a son, and they've treated me better now. If you come often, I'll be bullied again..."
The old man's heart ached as he listened. "Nier, Dad's dad was a mortician at the funeral home. It was a tough job. Your mother died early. Without Dad, who would have supported you?"
The woman pretended to kneel down before him, "My daughter is unfilial..."
"Get up!" the old man cursed. "If you don't want to come, then don't come. Do you think I care about having a daughter like you? From now on, don't recognize me as your father, and don't tell anyone outside that you have a father who is a mortuary keeper!"
The woman raised her face, tears welling up in her eyes, "Dad..."
The old man turned away, cursing as he walked to the ox cart. Seeing the two little ones sitting on the cart, his expression softened. "Have you finished shopping?"
The two kids nodded vigorously.
The old man raised his sleeve to wipe his face and said, "Okay, I'll take you home."
The old man drove the ox cart towards the outside of the city.
Yu Xiaoye turned around and saw the woman standing under the lamp at the door, stretching her neck to watch them walk away.
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Grandpa, what is the charity cemetery you are talking about?"
The old man's back stiffened. "It's not a good place."
Yu Xiaoye knew that the old man was a mortuary keeper and that he had a daughter who married into Fengle Town, but she had no idea that her in-laws disliked her so much.
Yu Xiaoye explained to Ruan Zhaozhao in a low voice, "This is where the bodies are kept. Whenever someone dies in the nearby villages and towns, they are taken to the charity cemetery."
Ruan Zhaozhao said, "Oh," "That's where the dead sleep. It's pretty good."
The old man heard her cheerful tone, and the anger and sadness in his heart were dispelled a little. "Silly child, if it is the place where the dead sleep, how can it be good?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "The dead are more obedient than the living."
The old man was stunned. "Who told you this?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "My father."
Only dead people can be made into corpse puppets, living people cannot.
Yu Xiaoye thought that Ruan Zhaozhao was abandoned by the aristocratic family, and these words were most likely from the mouth of her cold-blooded father.
I heard that aristocratic families are deceitful and profit-oriented, so it's not surprising that they would say such things.
"Yeah, I guess only the dead would listen to what I say." The old man murmured.
Yu Xiaoye quickly comforted him, "Aunt, Zhao Zhao didn't mean that. We listen to what you say."
The old man knew that he was comforting himself and smiled. "Okay, I'm happy as long as you are willing to listen to me."
He hung a lantern on the ox's horns and staggered out of the city gate.
It was already midnight when they returned to the village. Yu Xiaoye held a lantern, took Ruan Zhaozhao's hand, said goodbye to the old man, and walked up the mountain.
Ruan Zhaozhao saw the lights hanging on the ox horns and headed towards the back mountain. "Brother Xiaoye, is the charity cemetery visible from Second Brother's residence?"
Yu Xiaoye was surprised, "Zhao Zhao, did you see it? A-Aren't you afraid?"
Ruan Zhaozhao shook his head.
Yu Xiaoye thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Zhao, have you ever seen anything scarier than this?"
Ruan Zhaozhao nodded hesitantly.
It was much scarier than this when her daddy held her in his arms and rubbed her, calling her "baby Zhao Zhao".
Yu Xiaoye was filled with sorrow, "Zhao Zhao, that is indeed the charity cemetery."
Ruan Zhaozhao rolled his eyes: "Oh..."
