God Bestows Evil

Chapter 305 Three Funerals

Wu Xian was startled.

From the moment they arrived at Wu Burial Village, Old Tang had been avoiding him. He only came out to explain the cause and effect to everyone when he killed the water ghost yesterday.

Now that he can take the initiative to come over and ask Wu Xian questions, it means that the family members' kindness to the elderly has been rewarded since they came to the blessed land.

So Wu Xian nodded: "Yes."

Old Tang continued to ask: "Then just hold a funeral. What are you waiting for?"

"We don't know what a proper burial looks like, so we need to bury the body to trial and error..."

Old Tang looked at the tall, rich and handsome man who was covered with cloth.

"How many more are left?"

Wu Xian's eyes were a little confused. Hearing what Old Tang meant, could he solve the corpse problem for everyone?

"Two, two corpses that died of old age and meant no harm to us."

Old Tang took a puff from his pipe, sighed, and looked away.

"Old Zhao, who lives in the same house as me, left after dinner this morning. He left peacefully and without any pain. I nagged him and he didn't reply to me, and I found out..."

"This old guy is sick. He couldn't walk or sit up a few days ago. We don't have the ability to take care of him. You were the one to let him go. He won't hate you."

Old Tang's tone was calm, but his voice sounded a little trembling.

When he chose to live in Old Zhaotou's room, it was also because of his friendship with Old Zhaotou. The person who felt the worst when Old Zhaotou died was Old Tang. Perhaps it was the death of Old Zhaotou that prompted Old Tang to do what he did. The decision to take the initiative to help Wu Xian and others.

"As for the second one...come with me."

Old Tang knocked down the ashes from his cigarette, stood up, led everyone to a thatched house and knocked on the door.

"Sister He, I'm here to see you."

There was no reply from the door.

Old Tang opened the door directly. Lying on the wooden bed of this thatched house was an old woman with white hair and beard.

The old woman was wearing silk clothes with high-grade fabrics and exquisite patterns. She looked like an old man from a wealthy family. Even such an old man was actually driven to the Unburied Village.

The old woman stared at Old Tang, obviously dissatisfied with him coming in with so many people.

"Sister He, haven't you always wanted to return to the He family?"

Hearing the word He family, the old woman suddenly became excited.

"The He family...yes, I want to go back. They will come to pick me up. I don't want to become a lonely ghost. I can only survive if I return to the He family and be buried..."

Wu Xian and Du E looked at each other.

The He Family in the Immortal City…

When they killed the water ghost, Wu Xian and others were sure that the world had become so weird and the He family must have played some role in it.

Unexpectedly, this old lady was from the He family.

This old lady is the oldest one in the Burialless Village, and she is also the one whose condition seems to be the worst. On the first day, she looked like she might die at any time, but she is still alive and well now.

Old Tang and Mrs. He chatted for a few words, and suddenly their tone became serious.

"Sister He, you can't go back."

Mrs. He's expression suddenly turned ferocious, but Old Tang ignored her and continued talking.

"You don't have dementia. You should know that they won't come back to pick you up, but these young men can send your ashes back, so that you can be regarded as dying in He's house..."

The old lady's ferocious expression became normal, and she asked Old Tang in a child-like tone.

"Will they?"

"They are not from Burialless Village. Sooner or later they will go to the Immortal City. They are just taking your ashes back along the way. If you don't believe me, just ask them..."

Old Tang turned to look at Wu Xian. Wu Xian exchanged eyes with several others for a few times before nodding.

"We can help with this!"

The old lady's yellow face was filled with blood, and she was muttering excitedly.

"Okay... okay, I can finally go back to He's house. I absolutely can't die outside. I can't..." Her words stopped abruptly, and the hand on the bedside drooped.

Mrs. He.

dead.

Old Tang sighed.

"I probably didn't tell you."

"Everyone in the Immortal City will be driven out of the city when they are about to die, either in Burialless Village or other villages, but the He family is the exception."

A light suddenly flashed in Wen Chao's eyes: "The He family is not afraid of taboos?"

Old Tang shook his head.

"It is said that the head of the He family is favored by the 'Three Immortals', so people from the He family can be treated differently after death. I have lived for so long and have never seen the He family who died outside, but recently I saw two of them one after another.”

Du E said: "One is the water ghost."

Old Tang nodded.

"The other one is Sister He. She was originally a married daughter of the He family. She should have returned to the He family when she got old, but her immediate family members were gone. The He family didn't recognize her and kicked her out... "

"Her health has actually been in decline for a long time, but her obsession with returning to the He family has been supporting her, so she has persisted for so long..."

Wei Qinglan's eyes were sad: "So we agreed to take her back to the He family, and her obsession dissipated, and there was nothing to support her in her struggle on the line of life and death..."

Old Tang stood up, walked out of the room on crutches, and looked at the sky in silence.

Wu Xian followed him out and wanted to ask him why he wanted to help, but Old Tang had no intention of communicating with Wu Xian anymore and wandered into the room.

The old man was originally very healthy.

But just for a moment, Wu Xian felt that he had aged several years.

Maybe…

His end is coming soon.

…

With the help of Old Tang.

Wu Xian and others finally gathered three corpses.

Although it was a bit unethical to be happy over dead people, gathering the corpses really made them feel a lot more relaxed, so they immediately got to work and held a simple funeral for these three people.

With previous experience.

This time everyone is familiar with the journey.

Since both Mrs. He and Gao Fushuai need to be cremated, let's discuss it and don't do anything to deal with them separately today, and just have them all cremated.

It sounds a bit hellish.

Because Gao Fushuai's body was sucked dry by the pale ghost, he was cremated to save firewood...

Soon a huge pile of wood was piled up, and some simple burial objects were placed on the three corpses, including clay figurines, cloth money, flowers, pottery bowls...

Although I don’t know if these burial objects are suitable, at least they are better than nothing.

When the fire for burning the body is lit.

The old people in the thatched houses also came out one by one, and some even climbed out.

They gathered around the fire, silent, the firelight reflected on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Wu Xian guessed.

They must be envious.

These old people must also be envious of normal funerals.

It's just that the weird rules of this world prevent them from enjoying the treatment that belongs to them. Maybe they are longing in their hearts that the person lying on the fire is themselves...
