Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Zhang Hanyan, Zhang Qiling and others arrived in Banai, Guangxi again. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw the village chief standing there waiting for them.

As soon as the fat man saw him, he smiled brightly, which meant that he would be able to see the clouds soon.

He hadn't seen Yuncai for more than five months and missed her terribly.

He smiled and strode to the village chief, looking behind him where there was no one.

"Village Chief, where is Yuncai? Why didn't she come to pick us up? Did she prepare something delicious for us at home?"

When the village chief heard him talk about the clouds, a look of sadness instantly appeared on his face.

The sadness on his face made the fat man's heart skip a beat, and he immediately had a very bad premonition.

"Village chief...you...what does that expression of yours mean? Did something happen to Yuncai? Is she injured?

Well, you take me to see her right away. I'll take her to the hospital. Don't worry, doctors nowadays are very good and I guarantee she'll come back healthy and well."

The fat man tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, grabbed the village chief's hand, and pulled him towards the village chief's house.

The village chief couldn't break free from his grip and could only let him pull him.

Zhang Hanyan remembered Yuncai's ending in the original plot, where she was killed by Tajianbao, but now Tajianbao had already been killed by her.

She also detoxified the clouds, and she really couldn't understand what else could happen to the clouds.

After all, she had eliminated all factors that could threaten her life.

Zhang Qiling saw the worry on her face, and he gently squeezed her hand to bring her back to her senses.

"Yan Yan, let's go take a look too."

"it is good."

They walked hand in hand to the village chief's house. Logically, the fat man and the village chief should have arrived early, but the house was quiet, without any sound.

Zhang Qiling and Zhang Hanyan searched the room but couldn't find any trace of them.

"Look around the house. We won't get far in such a short time."

As he spoke, he took Zhang Hanyan's hand and walked around the house looking for the village chief and the fat man.

Finally, they found the two of them in the dense woods not far behind the house. They were standing with their backs to them. It was quiet all around, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind to be heard.

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling looked at each other, then slowly walked forward and came to their side.

They saw that in front of the fat man and the village chief was a small grave, and judging by the pile of earth, it was a new grave.

Engraved on the stone tombstone was a name they were all familiar with: Cloud.

The fat man's face looked a little dazed, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and his slightly shaking body silently told of his sadness.

The fat man stared at the word "cloud" engraved on the tombstone, while the village chief secretly shed tears beside him. The breeze blew by, taking away the longing for the deceased.

"Village Chief, how could Yun Cai suddenly...she was so young and fine, how could she just disappear like that?"

The fat man stood there stunned and asked in disbelief.

The village chief also felt very uncomfortable. Yuncai was his youngest daughter, who was usually well-behaved and sensible.

Now, he lost his daughter in middle age, and the pain of seeing his child die before him is almost suffocating him.

But he also wanted to find the murderer who killed Yuncai. He didn't believe that Yuncai died for no reason.

The village chief raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and his voice was hoarse.

"I don't know either. That day, I went to the river to fish. When I was leaving, Yuncai smiled and told me to come back early for dinner.

I don’t know why, but the fish were particularly easy to catch that day. It was almost dark when I was ready to pack up and go home.

Just as I stood up, I saw something floating down from upstream in the river from afar. It looked like a person.

I jumped into the water to save her, but who knew... who knew that the person I saved was actually Yuncai, who was already dead."

The village chief became sadder as he spoke, and his tears could not stop flowing. It was visibly that he looked much older, with many white hairs growing on his temples.

"At that time, Yuncai was lying in my arms. No matter how I called her, she just..."

The village chief could not continue speaking. Recalling the scene of his daughter's death, it was like a torture to a father.

Perhaps infected by the village chief's sad mood, Zhang Qiling couldn't help but think of the two times Zhang Hanyan was injured.

He turned to look at her. Her skin was already fair, and now due to the severe injury, it looked even paler, with almost no blood in it.

Zhang Hanyan noticed his gaze. After years of being together, she could sense his gaze or gesture even without him speaking.

Know what he is thinking and what he wants to do.

She squeezed his fingers gently. "It's okay," she said, her voice cool and gentle, her words neither hurried nor slow, extremely gentle.

The village chief didn't want to stay here any longer and add to the sadness, so he walked back slowly with red eyes and a hunched back.

In the silent forest, there were only three of them, and... a new grave of an old friend.

The fat man bent down and reached out to slowly stroke the words on the tombstone. His movements were gentle, as if he was stroking the soft cheek of a girl.

He stared at the tombstone in front of him, suddenly lowered his head and chuckled, but that laughter was full of sadness and regret.

Zhang Hanyan saw how sad he looked and was worried that he might not be able to hold on.

After all, they had all witnessed with their own eyes the fat man's surging and passionate love for the clouds.

[Tongzi, how could this cloud die?]

[It's all because of that damned Heaven. The last bit of insignificant power was used to deal with this weak girl. ]

Zhang Hanyan stared at the brand new tombstone in front of her, secretly feeling lucky that she had a trick up her sleeve.

[Host, why don't you tell the fat guy the truth? Look how sad he is.]

[Wait a little longer. We are going to enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building. We won’t be able to take care of everything outside. She can’t come back yet. What if… I really can’t protect her.]

[Well, the fat guy looks so pitiful. He is about to break.]

[Being broken is better than being dead. If you lose your life, you will have nothing.]

As the days passed, they returned to the lake under the leadership of the village chief and set up camp.

Jude Kao was also here. Since they arrived, they had never seen Jude Kao leave his tent.

Naturally, he couldn't see Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling.

The night was as cool as water. The fat man stood quietly by the lake, gazing at the white moonlight in the sky.

Ever since he came back from Yuncai's grave, he has never been the same as before, talking and joking with others in a joking manner.

He looked like a lifeless piece of wood, his eyes were empty and dull, and there was not a trace of vitality in his body.
