Tianwai Feixian

Chapter 60 Corpse
Qian Nanyi tried his best to convince the old man.

Finally, after various considerations, the old man reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Qian Nanyi returned to the village.

Qian Nanyi first arrived at his home, looking at the thatched house that had been burned beyond recognition by the fire, Qian Nanyi was angry in his heart.

The village was quiet, the noise and tranquility of the past were no longer there, and there was only a sense of lifelessness left.

There is a unique smell of fire in the air.

Qian Nanyi felt very uncomfortable smelling it.

After making sure that there was no one around, Qian Nanyi approached the village from inside the bamboo forest.

At a glance, through the faint moonlight, all you can see are the ruins of the village.

Qian Nanyi felt sad for the first time, the kind of sadness was indescribable, this was the home that everyone depended on for survival, but now it was burned to the ground.

In the past, as long as Qian Nanyi entered the village, he could hear the sound of dogs barking, but now, it was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

Qian Nanyi walked into the village slowly, not daring to make too much noise.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly Qian Nanyi heard the sound of crying.

This voice shocked Qian Nanyi.

After looking around to make sure that the surrounding area is safe, he slowly followed the sound to find it.

In the dilapidated courtyard of Lizheng's house, a thin figure curled up and cried.

Qian Nanyi frowned, thinking that the crying boy should be the youngest son of Li Zheng's family, five-year-old Qu Yun, after checking the safety of the neighborhood again, he walked slowly over.

"Xiaoyun?" Qian Nanyi called out tentatively.

The crying sound stopped suddenly.

Then the thin figure raised its head.

"Sister Nanyi?" The thin figure was a little excited, probably because she didn't expect that there were other people in this dead village.

Qian Nanyi hurried over and pulled Qu Yun up.

"Are you here alone? Have those officers and soldiers left?" Qian Nanyi didn't dare to speak too loudly, and asked in a low voice.

Qu Yun cried and shook his head: "Sister Nanyi, my parents, my brothers and sisters were all taken away by the officers and soldiers. Those officers and soldiers left in the afternoon. My father hid me in the cellar behind so that I was not taken away. Nanyi Sister Yi, I’m so scared.”

Qu Yun was in tears, which made people feel distressed.

Qian Nanyi looked around, and asked again: "You haven't seen anyone else in the village, have you?"

Qu Yun nodded again: "I haven't seen it. Many people in the village were taken away. Many of the older grandparents were beaten to death by the officers and soldiers. My grandfather was also killed by the officers and soldiers. Sister Nanyi, what should I do?" Do it!"

Qu Yun cried very sadly.

Qian Nanyi was still worried that it would not be safe here.

Pulling Qu Yun, he said, "Is there anything to eat in the cellar where you are hiding?"

"Also, most of this year's harvest is in it. My parents were worried about what happened last time, so they made double preparations. Most of the food was stored in the cellar where I hid. My brothers and sisters didn't have time to hide, so they all I was taken away, I want my parents."

After all, Qu Yun was a child, and when he thought of losing his parents and his family, he was heartbroken.

Qian Nanyi looked around, and finally said: "You follow me, take some food and hide on the mountain for two days, and come back when you are sure it is safe."

Qu Yun seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Qian Nanyi led Qu Yun to find some freshly cooked meat and vegetables in the cellar, packed half a sack, and then went back to the mountain in the dark.

The old man and Aunt Lin were so worried that they couldn't sleep.

Seeing Qian Nanyi coming back with a small figure behind him, Zhao Tianle's mother hurried over.

"Nan Yi, it's good that you have nothing to do. What's going on in the village?" Zhao Tianle's mother was a little worried.

At this time, Zhao Tianle's mother also saw Qu Yun.

When the three of them returned to the cave, Qu Yun gradually felt relieved when he saw so many familiar people, but he was not as sad and scared as he was at first.

Qian Nanyi told the old man what he saw in the village and what he found Qu Yun, and everyone was very sad.

In the end, everyone decided to go back and have a look tomorrow during the day.

Day two.

Qian Nanyi planned to go back by himself first, but Zhao Tianle's mother was worried, so the two went back to the village to have a look.

I can see much more clearly during the day.

Standing on the top of the hill looking at the burned village.

Zhao Tianle's mother couldn't help crying.

"How can this be good! Those who kill thousands of knives, just rob things, why did they burn our home..."

Qian Nanyi also felt uncomfortable.

"Don't cry, auntie. The most important thing now is to think about how to live the rest of the day. It's almost winter and we have to find a way. Last night, Qu Yun said that most of the old people in the village were beaten to death by those officials. Leaving the body like that is not an option..."

Qian Nanyi never thought that he would encounter such an unfortunate thing. When he was in the sky, he knew that it was chaotic down below, but he didn't expect it to be this chaotic.

Encountering such a thing, Qian Nanyi felt unspeakably uncomfortable. She hated herself a little, hated why she didn't accumulate more merits, and if she encountered such difficulties, would she be able to save everyone?

But it's no use regretting now.

Qian Nanyi has never been a person who blames others, since the incident happened, he should think of a solution, not the current situation.

Zhao Tianle's mother returned to the village with Qian Nanyi.

Be careful along the way.

The past few times I went back to the village at night, now I can only see clearly during the day. The bamboos next to the houses in the village are all smoked and the bamboo leaves are damaged. Combined with the dilapidated walls in the village, I always feel extremely desolate.

The village is very quiet, and there are no official posts, probably because those official posts feel that the place has been burned like this, and even if there are still people who survived, it doesn't matter.

Qian Nanyi always felt a little sad.

"Auntie, let's go in and see if there is anything we can use. For the time being, we will live on the mountain for a few days, and we will come back after a few days to confirm that there is no danger."

Qian Nanyi felt that he had to be on guard.

After walking a few steps, the two found a corpse. At first glance, it was still a familiar old man in the village, but his whole body was already stiff at the moment.

The dead are not scary, sometimes people should be more afraid of the living.

Qian Nanyi and Zhao Tianle's mother looked at each other, and finally Qian Nanyi was the first to speak.

"Auntie, I think the two of us should choose a place and bury them all. It's not an option."

Qian Nanyi's words were affirmed by Zhao Tianle's mother.

Zhao Tianle's mother was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so she didn't feel scared looking at these corpses.

"Well, I'll look for it to see if there are any hoes or the like. I don't know if there are any other survivors in the village. Let's look again. They are all hard-working people."
