After arriving at the hotel, the boss and his wife exchanged greetings with a few people, then carried Miaomiao's skeleton into the basement.
Everyone dragged their feet and finally returned to the warm and bright room.
"Taoist Master, I understand what you mean, but why did Brother Dapeng and the others set fire to the mountain?"
The Taoist priest pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Is there any other way to completely eradicate the evil on the mountain?"
"What should we do with Sili and Sinan?" Xiaoyin shook the remains in her arms, "Should we take them away?"
"It's unrealistic to take them away, and we don't know where the children's families are." The Taoist priest took the remains and carefully laid them flat on the table. "Tomorrow, I will buy two cemeteries nearby and put the children there first.
It would be nice to have an explanation when my parents come to find me."
"Ah!..." The fool lay down on the bed, "I finally returned to the soft bed! This matter is finally over. I don't want to climb mountains anymore!"
Xiaoyin stepped over and said, "Get up from my bed!"
Everyone was laughing and making noise in a relaxed manner. Xiaolan looked at them and wanted to blend in, but she felt that she couldn't be happy.
"Are you thinking about A Liang?" The Taoist Master asked while the others were playing around.
"I'm thinking about A Liang..." Xiaolan tilted her head, "There are other things, I'm thinking about a lot."
"Xiao Lan, do you think...A Liang is happy?"
Xiaolan looked into Taoist Priest's serious eyes, "I think...at least she is happy now."
"If A Liang grew up in this environment and became the next generation successor of Lianshui Village, do you think she would still be happy?"
"I think," Xiaolan said word by word, "it doesn't matter whether you are happy or not, the important thing is to live."
The two looked at each other for a long time.
"Don't worry," the Taoist priest showed a gentle and reliable smile, "Lianshui Village is dead, but the soul in Lianshui Village is not dead."
Xiaolan nodded.
The Taoist priest ruffled Xiaolan's hair and said, "It seems you have discovered it too."
"There was a fire in Lianshui Village. It seemed like everything was over," Xiaolan looked out the window thoughtfully, "but Feng Wu's shadow was even more serious."
"Feng Wu's matter is not over yet..."
"But we have to go."
The Taoist priest paused, "That's right."
Xiaolan sighed softly. Outside the window, it was already the slightly drunken sky before dawn. Her friends lay on their beds, preparing to seize the last night to rest. Xiaolan's thoughts were confused, but she was very clear-headed.
The Taoist priest moved and sat next to her, and the two of them stared at the slowly brightening clouds in the sky without saying a word.
It ended just like that, without a ceremonial period that could be called the end.
What’s the next step?
My ears quieted down, time passed by little by little, and the surroundings became noisy again.
so fast.
The world has woken up.
"Xiaolan, what are you doing?" Xiaoyin rubbed her eyes and got up, "Sitting there like a corpse in the morning, you didn't sleep, did you?"
Xiaolan turned her head and glanced at the Taoist priest next to her. It turned out that the Taoist priest had already fallen asleep leaning on the back of his chair, sleeping peacefully.
"I'm not sleepy...why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I would like to sleep a little longer," Xiaoyin said, touching her belly, "but I'm hungry, and I woke up from starvation..."
Before the Taoist priest even opened his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's almost time," the Taoist priest looked at his watch and stretched, "Let's pack up and finish today's work, and then it's time to leave."
Xiaoyin quickly jumped out of bed, "I don't know what's for breakfast today, la la la, have breakfast..."
"We won't have breakfast here today," the Taoist priest also stood up and rubbed his shoulders, "The boss and his wife also need to rest, so we won't bother them first."
"Here...is there any other place to have breakfast?"
"Of course," the Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and showed his signature warm smile, "After packing up, we set off to Lianjia Villa to have breakfast and find Dapeng."
