C29 Leave
It's been two hours since the demonic tiger was buried. At this moment, Guxing was still resting on the ground and breathing heavily.
Due to the enormous size of the demonic tiger, Guxing had no choice but to use his sword technique at the top of the cave, causing the entire cave to collapse.
"demonic tiger, I will use the entire cave to bury you, and I can be considered to be worthy of you. Let's part ways here, and we will never meet again. "
Guxing cupped his fist toward the grave and left the place.
At the border of Tiger Valley, Guxing was kneeling in front of the sixteen stone graves with a solemn expression.
"Uncles, Guxing did not break his promise within the past five years. Now that revenge has been taken, all of you can rest in peace under the nine springs. "
As for these Uncles, Guxing's heart still had a trace of guilt. These people, who he could not even name, should have had their own happiness. However, for an outsider like him, they didn't hesitate to give up their wives and children and sacrifice their precious lives.
"Uncles, from tomorrow onwards, I may have to leave this place. I'm going to the outside world to search for my origins, I'm afraid I won't be able to come and spend time with you in the future "
Saying so, he forcefully knocked his head a few times on the ground.
"However, don't worry. After I go outside and unravel the mystery of my origins, I will definitely return here and properly worship all of you uncles. I hope that all of you will stay in heaven and bless my child's return as soon as possible. "
"Silly, it's getting late, we can't delay any longer. "
At this time, Xiao Yue saw that Guxing still had no intention of getting up, so she urged him on the side.
Guxing responded and bowed three more times towards the stone grave before leaving with reluctance.
When the two of them went down the mountain, the sky had already turned completely dark. The villagers had the habit of sleeping early. At this time, the door had already been closed. There was not a trace of light, and the entire village had fallen into darkness.
Guxing strolled slowly. In every corner of the village, when he saw the familiar grass and trees, his heart felt stifled, and he couldn't tell what it felt like.
People would always remember the old. After all, he had lived here for eleven years. Although he had left behind some unbearable memories, it was not something that could be abandoned just like that.
"This is the place I wanted to go the most. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to go in. "
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the village's private school. Guxing stopped there.
He had come here twice in total. The first time was when he snuck in. After being caught by Little Six from the same village, he was beaten up. The second time was when his grandfather died.
However, he had never been in there twice.
Xiao Yue's exquisite thoughts immediately saw the regret in Guxing's heart. She quickly said, "Why don't we go in and take a look?"
After saying that, without waiting for Guxing's rejection, she took the lead and walked in. Guxing smiled bitterly and could only follow.
After entering, Guxing immediately discovered that there were only a few tables and chairs in the private school. The tables and chairs could be considered simple and crude, but they were surprisingly clean. Clearly, it was because someone often cleaned them.
"Back then, I hid at the door and looked at these children who were sitting here. "
Guxing picked a seat by the window for himself and sat down. He looked at the place where he used to hide and his tone was filled with nostalgia.
"At that time, I was thinking about when I could also sit inside. How good would that be? I never thought that I would really sit here one day. Hehe, it feels so good. "
In the darkness, Xiao Yue saw a teardrop slowly slide down the corner of Guxing's eyes and drip onto the ground.
"Ms Yue, I want to sit here for a while longer, okay?"
Guxing looked out the window and suddenly asked. His hair covered half of his face, and it was hard to tell what expression he had.
When Xiao Yue heard this, her heart ached, and she said with a choking voice: "Good, good. You can sit here for as long as you want. Don't worry, Big Sister will accompany you. "
Five years ago, he was just a child, Xiao Yue didn't understand. Why was there someone who wasn't satisfied with a child's little wish? At this moment, she couldn't control her emotions, wishing she could slaughter all of these heartless people.
Guxing seemed to feel a trace of killing intent from Xiao Yue. He turned his head and said calmly, "Ms Yue, I don't hate them. "
Xiao Yue was stunned.
She heard Guxing say, "Maybe I would hate them before, but since I found out about it, I don't hate them anymore. "
"Humph, you can only blame yourself for what you have done!"
Xiao Yue coldly snorted and said: "At that time, you were just a baby, so what do you know? They forced hatred on you like this, it was totally unreasonable. Is there really not a single reasonable person in the village? "
Xiao Yue was furious, and she felt that it was getting out of hand.
"In fact, they are more pitiful than me. I have no family since I was born. I am used to not having them, so I can't feel the pain, but they are different. They suddenly lose it when they have it, and that kind of pain is far greater than my pain. Hate a person is also a painful thing, so they are more painful than me. And more pitiful than me. "
Guxing looked at Xiao Yue and said faintly: "When you understand that a person's pity is greater than hatred, you will no longer hate them. "
Xiao Yue's body immediately trembled, and she withdrew the killing intent in her heart. She lightly sighed and walked to the side.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Guxing stood up and said, "Ms Yue, let's go. "
Xiao Yue said, "It's still early, you can sit for a while more. "
"It's enough. I don't have any regrets about this place anymore. It doesn't matter if it's more or less. "
Guxing walked to the door and said, "People can't always live in their memories, can they?"
Xiao Yue smiled from the bottom of her heart and immediately followed him.
Guxing took Xiao Yue to turn left and right, and with familiarity, they arrived in front of a house. Guxing, however, was unwilling to walk forward.
"This is the place where you and your grandfather used to live, right?"
Xiao Yue saw his expression and immediately guessed it. She asked curiously, "Why didn't you go in?"
Guxing shook his head. Like a child who had done something wrong but didn't dare let his parents know, he said, "I don't dare to go in. I'm afraid that Grandpa will blame me for not coming to see him for so long. "
In these five years, Guxing had only come back once. He was still twelve years old. That year, because he was too busy with cultivation, he never came back. Now that he had suddenly come back, he couldn't help but feel somewhat terrified.
However, in the end, he still went in. In order to not attract other people's attention, he climbed over the wall and came to the courtyard. He didn't have time to reminisce and directly ran towards the old man's lonely grave.
It had been four years. Guxing didn't know how his grandfather was doing, but his heart was burning with anxiety.
When he walked closer and saw that the old man's grave wasn't covered in weeds like he had imagined, Guxing heaved a long sigh of relief.
The old man had been honest and upright throughout his life. Even the heavens seemed to be especially fond of him. After his death, not even a single weed grew on the grave.
"Grandfather, your son is unfilial. I haven't come to see you for so many years. . . "
As he spoke, he could not help but cry. The cry was miserable and it made people feel sad when they heard it.
Xiao Yue was standing at the side. When she saw this scene, she also wanted to cry. She immediately turned around and couldn't bear to look anymore.
After a long time, Guxing finally stopped crying. However, his voice was still choked with sobs. "Grandfather, I might have to leave tomorrow. I'll go to the outside world to search for my origin. At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by your side anymore. "
"I'm unfilial. I haven't come to see you for such a long time. It wasn't easy for me to come, but I have to leave now. Grandfather. Don't blame me, alright? "
The old man was Guxing's only family ever since he came to this world. He was Guxing's sustenance and Guxing's closest kin. He held the most weight in Guxing's heart. He was the person Guxing owed the most. This debt was even greater than the debt he owed to the sixteen uncles in Boneyard.
But at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew. Guxing was caught off guard. A strong wind suddenly blew and made him stagger. When he stabilized his body and opened his eyes again, a stone tablet suddenly appeared in front of him.
"This is!"
In addition to being shocked, he read the words carved on it: "Tomb of Great Grandfather Mu Ya!" (Note: "Great Grandfather" is the honorific title given to Mu Ya by the villagers. )
It was unknown who carved the tombstone, but it was very tall. It was just that it happened to be at the blind spot of Guxing earlier. Because of the darkness of the night, he didn't notice it.
"If it wasn't for the strong wind. . . "
The wind, the stone tablet, the lonely grave without a single blade of grass, connecting these clues together. . .
Guxing immediately understood. It wasn't because the heavens favored the old man. Instead, it was because someone had been doing something for the old man. But who was it?
The villagers held a grudge against the old man because of his matter, so they should be able to eliminate it. But who could it be if it wasn't them?
While Guxing was thinking hard, Xiao Yue ran out of the room in a hurry with something in her hand.
"Silly, there is a letter for you. Do you want to read it?"
Xiao Yue said as if nothing had happened, but Guxing saw something strange in her eyes. She seemed to be trying her best to hide something.
"Trust? For me?"
Guxing took the letter in a strange manner. He was surprised to find that there was a sentence written on the paper. . . .
"Child, forgive us for not knowing how to address you here. But please believe that every word we say next is sincere. Perhaps you are already disappointed with this village. Perhaps you still hate us. Sorry! We hope you can come back and come back to everyone. We are willing to pay anything to make up for our mistakes, if you don't want to come back, It doesn't matter, we will pay our respects to Taigong's tomb regularly. Repair, don't worry about that. Before that, we only hope that you can give us a chance to atone for our sins. We will keep this letter here. . . Wait until you see it. "
Holding the letter, Guxing was silent. He could not even hear his breath. No one knew what he was thinking and neither did Xiao Yue.
After a long time, Guxing sighed and lowered his body to press the letter in front of the monument. He said lightly, "I need to go back first. "
. . .
Early the next morning, a strange thing happened in the village. When the villagers opened the door, they discovered that there were dozens of exquisite tiger skins in front of their doors. They were completely intact and there were no traces of cuts.
While the villagers were whispering to each other and discussing among themselves, some attentive people discovered that the village's Great Grandfather's grave had been filled with new soil. The letter that was originally placed in the house had been placed in front of the monument without anyone noticing. . .
At the same time, on the other side, a pair of young boys and girls were walking side by side.
The young girl said: "Idiot, you really have the heart to chase them out overnight with a huge gift. "
The youth sneered and said, "I was just bored. "
The young girl immediately curled her lips but did not expose him.
"Ms Yue, as long as we climb over the mountain in front, we will be there?"
"Yes, it is in front. "
"Is it there?"
The youth looked at it and muttered: "Jianghu!"
