Chapter 122 When the Great Wall Collapses(1/3)

The wind in the cemetery swept away the dead leaves.

Surrounded by brand new tombstones.

The tombstone is engraved with "The 27th head of the Li family, Li Qihu".

Li Qingsui was wearing a filial robe and knelt down in front of the tombstone. She wiped the old and new tombstones. The entourage behind her had dispersed... The Qing Tomb was a quiet place, and those from the Presbyterian Church stayed outside.

This last peace was left to her.

She stayed here for a long time.

In fact.

She didn't have anything to say to her father...she just wanted to stand here.

It's very quiet here.

Quieter than anywhere in the world.

It's just...the reason why the outside world is noisy is not because it is noisy in the first place.

Any place with people will be noisy.

After Li Qingsui stood quietly in front of the tombstone for two hours, the members of the Presbyterian Church waiting outside the cemetery began to lose their patience.

Several elders looked at each other, wondering what the girl was doing standing in front of the tombstone.

Don't say a word.

Don't make a single move.

Compared with the fallen tombstone, the back looks more like a stone tablet.

"What is she doing?"

"She didn't do anything?"

"Just standing like this..."

"How long do you want to stand?"

The cemetery is still quiet.

But spiritual communication is full of noise like this.

Logically speaking, after the tombstone is buried, the ceremony has ended, and those who came to the cemetery to see him off with respect have already left... But the Li family is one of the five ancient families, and has complete and serious etiquette.

The head of the family is dead.

Although there has not yet been time to hold the "adoption" ceremony, Li Qingsui, the successor designated by the head of the family, is the new "head of the family."

She didn't leave.

The Presbyterian Church cannot leave.

If she doesn't move a step, the elders will wait outside the cemetery and cannot move a step.

Another thirty minutes passed.

The second elder sighed softly and walked over slowly. With a gentle look on his face, he consoled him in a broad voice: "Miss... please forgive me."

The girl standing in front of the tombstone slowly raised her head.

She looked calmly at the old man in front of her, and her voice was not loud, but all the members of the Presbyterian Church waiting not far away could hear her.

Li Qingsui said word for word.

"Call me Master."

The second elder of the Li family, with white eyebrows and beard, still had the same gentle expression, and there were complex meanings flowing in those deep eyes... Without the slightest hesitation, he changed his title: "Master, it's getting late, and

…”

He looked up.

The sky is cloudy.

There was no rain when we arrived.

But at this moment, there was a faint sound of thunder.

Nagano is like this every winter, cloudy, rainy and snowy.

"If we stay any longer, I'm afraid it will rain."

Less than a second.

Li Qingsui said: "What I'm waiting for is rain."

These words surprised the second elder.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Everyone who is willing to accompany me here must be very sad..."

Li Qingsui raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, looked back at the elders, and said calmly: "In that case, come and get wet with me in the rain."

I deliberately chose today to catch the rain.

Since the rain won't come.

So everyone... just wait with me.





When Gu Shen left Neiling.

It has been raining for half an hour.

He climbed to the top of the hill, looked far away in the mist, and saw a little girl who was soaked but with a straight back, and a group of elders who were soaked in the rain.

These people stood in front of the tombstone, maintaining a strange silence.

This is really a very rare scene.

On ordinary days... it is hard to imagine that the pampered elders of the five families would be so miserable.

Logically speaking, the funeral should have been over long ago.

All those who accompanied him have left. Those who remain here should be the core members of the Li family and members of the Presbyterian Church.

Li Qingsui never left...

Did she get caught in the rain on purpose?

Gu Shen did not approach, he stood in the mist and watched from a distance, and soon discovered the noteworthy details...

Uncle Gao didn't seem to attend the funeral, at least Gu Shen didn't see him.

In addition, some people stood quietly in the rain. Until this moment, they still looked solemn and kept their bodies straight.

But there are also people who no longer maintain the most basic etiquette. Whether they are standing or bearing, they appear a little tired and no longer tense.

This is a very important thing.

The Li family is an ancient clan that pays great attention to "etiquette". This is why these people have not left until now. If Li Qingsui doesn't leave, they can't leave... But the real reason for staying here should be for the "old family head"

It consists of two parts: awe and support for the "new head of the family".

You can see it from the conversation in the ward.

Some elders have become so desperate that they no longer want to endure it.

Gu Shen couldn't understand this matter... Since you have endured it for so long, why should you endure it no longer?

He thought of the last words of the head of the Li family before his death.

["Those who are eager to jump out... are just..."

"Those who are like flies and dogs..."

"You might as well think about it...why do they dare to jump out..."]

before sleeping.

When Li Qihu said this, there seemed to be a smile on his face.

The spiritual connection with the Temple Mountain did not surprise him. Perhaps the head of the family had already known what would happen after his death... and his final choice was to maintain "balance" when he was dying.

Leave the situation to your daughter.

And he sent this reminder to Gu Shen.

The reason why people who are afraid of tigers dare to jump out.

It's not because the tiger is sick, weak, or collapsed... maybe it's not even because the tiger is dead.

Cowardly people will always be cowardly.

There is only one reason why they dare to jump out.

There is something more powerful and terrifying than the original tiger.
