Chapter 42 Funeral
Qin Yi was silent.
This was a heavy request for him.
He is constantly reborn in order to save the world. On this road, there will inevitably be many victims, and Qin Yi has already experienced this in his own way.
He could not make everyone happy, and promises were heavy shackles for him, especially before the arrival of the 1,000th rebirth, he could not let anything bind his hands and feet.
If a person wants to move forward on a thorny road, he must give up something. Clothing and luggage are second, and sometimes even flesh and blood have to be abandoned.
"I……"
"Promise me!" Liu Songfeng's face was twisted because of crying.
"……I see."
Looking at Liu Songfeng's eyes like a drowning person, Qin Yi nodded.
He really couldn't refuse the party under such circumstances.
Hearing Qin Yi's agreement, Liu Songfeng squeezed out a smile and said weakly: "I knew that you are a good person... I will try not to bother you. If possible, I also want to take care of Xiaole by myself. Now... let's go to the hospital."
Qin Yi helped the other party to walk towards the entrance. Liu Songfeng had to take a deep breath every step. His lungs were like a bellows filled with water, making a whirring sound.
But when he reached the door, Liu Songfeng stopped breathing. Qin Yi helped the other party and walked forward a few more steps, sighed, and put Liu Songfeng down at the door.
Before he died, his eyes were dull and his expression was helpless and happy. No one knew what he was thinking in the end.
Qin Yi turned around and walked back into the room, searching around the room, shouting Liu Xiaole's name loudly, but he didn't respond. Finally, at dawn, he found the small attic hidden hidden in the ceiling of Liu Songfeng's bedroom. Liu Xiaole curled up his knees in the corner of the attic, and opened his eyes wide to look at Qin Yi.
"I was calling you just now."
"My brother said, no matter who is shouting, don't go out if no one finds this place, even if it is him. Brother Qin, is it okay outside?"
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment: "Well, it's okay, that...you come down first."
"That's great, brother should be fine, right? Brother Qin saved my brother." Liu Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief.
“…sorry, I’m sorry.”
This was the first time he encountered this situation and conveyed the news of his death to his family. It turned out to be such a difficult thing.
Liu Xiaole paused downstairs, raised her head, looking confused: "What do you mean?"
"Your brother is dead."
Her eyes went from empty to surprise, and then to panic, and finally her limbs reacted. She rushed down the attic, shouting Liu Songfeng's name while running around the room. She ignored the corpses all over the ground and was only looking for the figure of her brother.
Qin Yi sighed when he saw Liu Xiaole running towards the entrance.
Sure enough, Liu Xiaole suddenly became quiet.
She found her brother.
...
The white curtains were hung everywhere in the homestay, the tables and chairs in the courtyard were removed, and wreaths were replaced. A coffin was placed in the dark room. Liu Songfeng lay quietly inside. He had put on makeup, his face was stained with blood, his skin was pale, and he could vaguely see the fine wounds.
"I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. On behalf of Iris, I apologize to the three of you." Sun Tianhao walked to Aida and said.
"It's not your fault. Fortunately, my brother is fine. Youzhou Wanderers are indeed very dangerous." Ada replied.
Sun Tianhao nodded: "It would be great if the Senate could send someone here as soon as possible."
"No need to urge me, I will report to the above when the time comes." Ada said.
"I don't mean that. You just need to do your business and we will try our best to cooperate."
Sun Tianhao was expressing his apology to them, but no one cared about the last descendants of the Liu family. Qin Yi looked at Liu Xiaole sitting by the coffin in a daze. She never cried again except for the first time, and was silent like a puppet doll.
These blood clan families are quite perfunctory to come here to worship. In their opinion, they don’t even need to mourn sincerely.
After all, there is only one daughter left in the Liu family, and this family has gone from being close to being destroyed to being completely destroyed.
The funeral is not used to maintain the relationship between the dead and the living, but to maintain the rituals between the living. Liu Songfeng's funeral is meaningless, and many families are present only for morality.
No one cares what will happen to Liu Xiaole afterwards.
"What should I do after that...Xiao Le?" Qin Yi asked.
Sun Tianhao was stunned, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Well... I think about it, how to deal with her is indeed a problem. It is impossible for her to support the Liu family alone. As expected, it is better to find a family and become an adopted daughter."
The use of this word is really harsh, Qin Yi frowned.
"His brother asked me to take care of her before his death and asked me to take her back to Qingzhou."
"That's the case..."
Sun Tianhao looked hesitant and turned to look at Aida.
Ada shrugged indifferently: "No problem, my brother will do whatever he says."
Sun Tianhao pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Liu Xiaole is also our relative after all, so I have to go back and ask my grandfather."
Qin Yi nodded and watched Sun Tianhao turn around and leave.
Qin Yi recalled what Sun Tianhao said just now, and the other party did not seem to have planned to let him take Liu Xiaole away. I am afraid that Liu Xiaole will stay in Youzhou in the end and become the adopted daughter of a certain family.
The Liu family is just a declining family, and now only Liu Xiaole is left. Why are they reluctant to agree to this request?
Qin Yi suddenly had a few questions to ask Sun Tianhao, so he hurriedly chased him out, but when he got outside the house, the other party's car had already driven far away.
He sighed, turned around and wanted to go back to the room, and suddenly heard a sound coming from beside him.
"Hey, young man, come here."
He paused and looked in the sound and saw an old woman standing across the road with a cane.
The reason why the other person is described as an old woman rather than an old lady is that the other person has not completely lost the attractiveness of being a woman.
She wore a long black dress, a black top hat with a mesh veil scarf, and a thick lipstick on her thin lips, which contrasted with her pale and blood-free skin.
She stood across the street with a black crutch in her right hand, staring at Qin Yi across the street with a arrogant look, and even calling Qin Yi over there was a commanding tone.
She was not as fat as an ordinary old woman, with wrinkles on her face. She looked like an old vampire with amazing elegance and nobility.
Qin Yi knew that using this metaphor to describe the other party was quite inappropriate, because the other party was a vampire and was indeed very old.
However, Qin Yi could not think of other adjectives. Even though this old woman had many wrinkles on her face, she still exuded amazing beauty. This beauty may be called the beauty of elegance in the elderly.
"Don't be dazed, come here!" the old woman repeated impatiently.
Although Qin Yi was a little reluctant, he ran across the road and walked to the other side: "What are you?"
"You don't need to know my name! I'm just here to remind you not to inquire about the purpose of those wanderers, they are much more dangerous than you think!
I advise you to get the best of helping you from the Senate, otherwise we just can't resist those wanderers. If you hesitate, you won't be able to leave."
These words are more like harsh warnings than reminders.
