Chapter 56: It’s dark

If your men hadn’t strongly opposed it, we would have listened to Li Zheng and entered the city, so we wouldn’t have encountered such a thing,” some people were still reluctant.

The big and strong woman was not someone to be trifled with. She put her hands on her hips and said, “Are you our dogs? Just listen to what we say. Come on, bark and let me hear it.”

“You…”

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the clan elder shouted sharply.

“Stop arguing! What time of day it is now and you are still arguing here.”

As soon as the clan elder spoke, both parties stopped and did not dare to talk anymore.

Yang Liu’s daughter-in-law came to Li Zheng and begged, “Li Zheng, is my man really left there?”

“It’s not happening yet. We’ll find out when it gets dark tomorrow morning and send a few people over to take a look.

Don’t worry about it yet. If you think too much, maybe he ran in the wrong direction and got separated from us.”

No one could sleep well that night.

After being robbed by bandits, they could take out very little belongings, which made the already poor family even worse.

“We have to send people into the city tomorrow to find Dashan and the others,” the clan elder said.

Yang Lizheng lowered his voice and said, “I saw someone in the city opening the city gate.”

With just one sentence, several clan elders and speakers were stunned.

“This, this…”

Yang Lizheng looked worried, “I wonder what will happen to them in the city.”

“It seems that we can escape because we are not good. Their target is not us, but the rich households in the city.”

Seeing that Li was worried, someone said to comfort her, “Girl Su has many tricks, maybe they will be fine.”

“Yes!”

They could escape, and presumably they should too.

These words can only appease others, but I know in my heart that they are turtles in the jar and cannot escape even if they have no wings.

The news quickly spread throughout the camp.

Some people heard that the group of gangsters were targeting people in the city, and when they thought about Su Yin and others being in the city, the expressions on their faces changed again and again.

The strong woman kept patting her chest, “Fortunately, fortunately, we didn’t enter the city. If we had entered the city, we would have become the lambs for the slaughter.”

They had a place to escape, and those in the city There was no place to escape.

Some people couldn’t help but worry, “Will they be okay?”

“I think Su Yin is a lucky girl. She should be okay.”

Early the next morning, Yang Lizheng sent a few people out. One was to look for Yang Six or three people, the second is to inquire about Su Yin and others.

Su Yin followed their traces. At first, the traces were messy and appeared all around. They spent some time distinguishing them and finally chose a path to go forward.

Halfway through, there was movement ahead, and the two parties unexpectedly met in the jungle.

“Dashan.” Li Zheng’s youngest son Yang Xi said in surprise.

“It’s great that you’re okay.”

Yang Fu noticed the bandaged wound on his brother’s arm, “How are you doing?”

Yang Xi and others looked at their condition and understood that nothing serious happened to them.

When talking about when he was here, his mood became depressed, “We are not very good.

Uncle Yang Liu and three others are missing, and everyone’s belongings have been robbed by the gangsters.”

“We came out here to inquire about your news, and secondly I’m here to see Uncle Yang.”

Yang Fu said, “Uncle Six and the others don’t need to look for them. We have already brought them.”

Only then did several people notice that there was a straw mat covering the cart behind the team.

“Uncle Liu and the others…”

Even though they had guessed the outcome, they still didn’t want to believe it when everything actually happened.

“Go back to the camp first,” Yang Dashan said.

When the people in the camp heard the noise, they looked ahead warily. After seeing Yang Dashan and others, their faces showed joy.

“They’re back.”

“Yang Dashan and the others are back.”

The depressed atmosphere was broken. Everyone looked at the ten families who had returned with joy, especially when they saw that their ox carts and mule carts were safe and sound, they couldn’t help but show envy. color.

But when their eyes touched the last cart, the joy on their faces slowly disappeared.

“That’s…”

Yang Liu’s wife seemed to feel something and walked towards that side step by step.

When he opened the straw mat and saw her man lying there motionless with a bloodless face, her suppressed emotions completely exploded at this moment.

“Why did you just leave and leave us like this?”

“What do you want us to do!”

“Why are you so cruel! You said you would watch Baoer and the others get married and have a wife, why did you break your promise? Just How can we survive if we are left alone like this?”

“Oh my god! You are so ignorant. My man is filial to his parents. He goes out to help the people in the village.”

“What do you say to such a person? Take it away and take it away.”

“Why don’t you take away those scourges! Why take him away?”

She kept slapping him. No matter how she slapped him, the man who had shielded them from wind and rain would never respond to her again.

She lay on top of him and cried bitterly.

The other two families knelt beside the cart and also cried loudly.

No one came forward to disturb them; everyone stood aside quietly, and many people turned away to secretly wipe away tears.

Su Yin stood aside and watched quietly, feeling a deep sense of depression.

In this world, the people at the bottom have no way to survive.

“Isn’t it very dark today?” Su Yin murmured in a low voice, as if talking to herself or asking the heavens.

Wan Sanye glanced at her, then his eyes fell back to Yang Liu’s daughter-in-law. His tone was calm as he replied, “Someone will break this day. It will not be dark anymore.”

“Breaking this day, is it difficult?”

Wan Sanye didn’t answer right away. He was silent for a moment before he responded slowly, “It’s difficult.”

Not everyone can be a hero.

The people of Xinghua Village helped the three family members to their feet, and under the guidance of Li Zheng and several clan elders, they buried the three Uncle Yang Liu on the spot.

Men from each family came to help, and soon three pits were dug in the forest.

There were no coffins and no grand burial ceremony. They used the only straw mat they had available, which was the most suitable at the moment, to wrap the three people and put them in the pit.

The clan elder with the highest seniority in the clan recited an ancient eulogy. Everyone stood behind him, watching as the soil was covered bit by bit, finally forming a mound.

Three wooden plaques stood in front of the earthen mound, and Yang Li took out the good wine he had treasured, which he had been reluctant to drink.

One glass after another, three glasses of wine were sprinkled on each of the three graves.

“Have a good journey!”

“When the world is peaceful and we go home, we will come to take you home.”

On the way to escape, they couldn’t return the fallen leaves to their roots. They could only let them rest where they were.

They hoped that the departed could be reborn in peace and harmony in the next life, in an age of plenty.

There were no incense candles in front of the tomb, but there were bowls of rice and meat. Everyone stepped forward to bid farewell to them one by one.

They may never see each other again.

Because no one knows where the future leads.
