Brother is also a high-risk occupation

He was standing not far away, and the burning clouds like splashed ink shrouded the small island, making him look extremely small.

Zhou Yan only took a glance, and saw that his arm was still tied with a bandage, obviously the wound hadn't healed yet.

Seeing Zhou Yan looking over, Kai Lang lowered his head a little helplessly, only showing the top of his head.

Zhou Yan stopped walking, he said to Shen Wang: "You go back first, or wait for me here, I will come as soon as I go."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards Kai Lang.

When Zhou Yan walked in, Kai Lang stretched out his hand and handed something to his eyes.

When Zhou Yan saw it, it turned out to be the knife he used to cut himself on the eye of the formation that day.

"I'm sorry for Brother Zhou, I'm here to apologize to Brother Zhou," he said in a low voice, but full of guilt, "Brother Zhou can do whatever he wants with me."

Zhou Yan was taken aback by what he said.Why is it that today's children are self-harming at every turn.

He reached out to take the knife, but he didn't use it to "dispose" him as Kai Lang said. Instead, he flipped his hand and put it behind his back, and there was a smile in his voice: "You island master But you told me everything, and you, why did you agree to do these things."

Kai Lang suddenly raised his head, and glanced at Chi Ying's yard in disbelief.

Zhou Yan bent his eyes, watched his movements, and spit out the word "um" from his throat, which means that if you don't believe it, you can go in and ask.

Seeing his calm look, the young man finally believed what he said, he suddenly became embarrassed, and said the words like a mosquito: "I just want grandma to come back..."

At the end of his speech, he took Zhou Yan to his home.

Unlike letting him stand outside the door when he was given medicine last time, Zhou Yan followed him through the low eaves, and after seeing the situation inside the room, he couldn't help but froze in place.

The house of Wei Lang's house is not big, but unlike other houses where gods and Buddhas are enshrined in the center, there is a coffin parked in the center of the house of Wei Lang's house.

The coffin was not closed, but opened wide. Kai Lang led him to the side of the coffin. Zhou Yan lowered his head slightly, and saw an old man lying quietly inside the coffin.

She is very old, her hair is all white, and a thin layer of skin covers the skinny bones. The edges and corners between each bone are clearly protruding. In some places, the bones support the skin, which makes people feel uncomfortable. People are afraid that it will puncture the skin.

One can tell at a glance that the old man has been dead for many days, but he does not know how to preserve it, and the body has not rotted yet.

Even if the corpse was cared for carefully and delicately, the spots all over it could not be stopped after all.

She was wearing clean and delicate clothes, with only bones and skin on her wrists, she wore a gorgeously carved silver bracelet, and her white hair was combed neatly.

The rest of the coffin was filled with large and small red coral flowers.

The lower layer has withered, while the upper layer is just picked off, and the red coral flowers are blooming brightly.

She was surrounded by red coral flowers, and the one placed on her chest, Zhou Yan recognized, was the one he took Kai Lang to pick that night.

It is the most beautiful flower blooming on the entire cliff in this season.

Kai Lang didn't say anything since entering the house, but when Zhou Yan saw the old man lying in the coffin, he already understood.

How much can you pay to wake up the dead.

Since Chi Ying appeared in the town of Tongguangzong in Lingzhou a few months ago, Yingzhou Island has already calculated the price they have to pay.

Invite him to come, set up an array on the sacrificial festival, kill him and take the bone.

One link after another, the loneliness of the entire island is exchanged for some vague hopes that cannot be realized.

The coffin was placed horizontally in the room, Zhou Yan and Kui Lang stood on one side, a few sounds came from the other side, and a white-haired head stuck out.

It's Grandpa Kui.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and he looks as if he has aged for decades. His white hair is exactly the same as that of Grandma Kui in the coffin, and the wrinkles and ravines are winding on his face.

He was no longer as energetic as he was when he was punting that day. He looked up at Zhou Yan, then bent over to hold Grandma Wu's hand, and said in an old and tired voice, "I'm sorry, young man."

Between his equally wrinkled wrists, two circles of shell necklaces were dangling.

The dark room is full of an old man's smell, and the years seem to be aging here. Only from the shell necklace shining with magnificent light, some cardamom years before the separation of life and death can be vaguely glimpsed.

Wei Lang stood beside the coffin, with his head bowed deeply, tears streaming down his cheeks to his chin, and then falling drop by drop to the ground.

Zhou Yan didn't say anything. He took out the red coral flower that he picked that night from the storage ring. There was no time in the storage ring. The red coral flower showed no sign of withering at all. Zhou Yan bent down and took the red coral flower. Coral flowers were placed in the coffin.

He turned and left the house.

Kai Lang followed behind him and sent him all the way to the path.

Just as Zhou Yan was about to leave, he called to stop him: "Brother Zhou, my grandma will be buried in the future."

When Zhou Yan turned around, he saw the boy turn his eyes away in a little panic.

Sighing in his heart, he took a step forward. Zhou Yan stretched out his hands to rub the boy's hair, and said in a warm voice, "Kai Lang, no matter what, Big Brother Zhou hopes you can understand that all redemption cannot be done at the cost of hurting others."

Kai Lang nodded in panic, looking at him for a moment.

Zhou Yan only patted him on the shoulder: "Go and say goodbye to your grandmother, I should not leave the day after tomorrow."

The boy wiped away his tears, turned around and went back to the house.

And Zhou Yan turned his head after seeing him enter the room, and saw Shen Wang standing not far away waiting for him.

The two walked back side by side, Zhou Yan tilted his head to look at his cold face, feeling very amused: "Who made you angry again?"

Shen Wang glanced at him: "Other people's heads are easy to rub?"

Knead again and again.

He added: "Other people's faces are also easy to pinch?"

Pinch again and again.

Is it because he has a head and I don't?The boy gritted his teeth.

Dazed for a moment, Zhou Yan smiled, he wanted to reach out to rub Shen Lu's head, but unexpectedly when he raised his hand, the wound on his shoulder was involved.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath in pain.

Shen Wang suddenly couldn't care less about getting angry, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Yan's wrist, and was about to go to see his wound, the worry in his eyes was real, Zhou Yan's eyes were burned by his clutching hand.

For some reason, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Shen Wang's head.

The boy froze there for a moment.

"Shen Wang," Zhou Yan lowered his eyes, his crow-feather eyelashes drew a small arc, "The reason why I like Kai Lang so much is..."

He thought to himself: I shouldn't have said the next thing.

But he still said: "Because I think, if you were taken care of and grew up without a little suffering, would you be like this now?"

He will laugh when he is happy, and the young sapling who grows up with love has a bit more confidence than others when he looks up.The thorns on the earth can't hold him back, and the joyous nature should belong to the sky. Even if there are steep peaks blocking him, he still has the courage to climb up and meet the most magnificent clouds.

Only children who have been suffering since childhood will purse their lips and straighten their backs. Their bones are smashed and bloody, and they have to walk by themselves. They dare not even say that I want a hug.

Zhou Yan bent his eyes, and said in a gentle tone that he didn't realize: "Show your right hand to senior brother."

After he finished speaking, he didn't reach out to Shen Zhu's hand, but looked at him softly.

I don't know how much time has passed, Shen Ju lowered his head and handed him his right hand.

Trembling slightly.

Zhou Yan held his hand with his slender fingers, and with the other, he rolled up his cuff in two folds.

Following his movements, a bloody gash was exposed on the boy's strong arm, and only a thin layer of medicine was roughly applied, not even a bandage.

He used the greatest strength to stab Yun Wu's shoulder with the sword. The moment the sword was released, the tiger's mouth was already shattered, so he didn't suffer any injuries.

Zhou Yan lowered his head, took out the elixir and bandages from the storage ring, and treated his wound bit by bit.

In the end, he tied a bowknot on Shen Zhu's wrist in a vicious way, and patted his head: "If you get hurt in the future, you don't need to look for others, just come to me."

He said: "As long as you come to see me, I will always be there."

On the day of Grandma Kui's burial, most of the people in Yingzhou Island came to attend the funeral.

Zhou Yan and Shen Wang squeezed into the bustling crowd, quietly watching the coffin filled with red coral flowers and the old man close and then be buried in the soil.

Different from the habits of Twelve Continents, if someone dies on Yingzhou Island, everyone will sing and dance to see her off. The people on the island feel that the world is always too much suffering, death is a relief, and there is only happiness left on the other side.

This is a good thing.

Grandma Kui was left in the world by Grandpa Kui and Kui Lang for such a long time, and she is finally going to the end where there is no misery.

Kai Lang came to invite Zhou Yan to dance to send off Grandma Kui, Zhou Yan smiled and refused, and stood at the outermost part of the crowd with Shen Huang, separated by a stream of people, to watch the song and dance at the other end.

The singing continued unsteadily for a whole day, and at the end, Grandma Kui’s grave was covered with fruits, flowers, and colorful shells. These things covered the grave and dissipated a little of the desolation of the three-foot loess. feeling.

At the end of the funeral, after the crowd dispersed, Grandpa Wei knelt in front of the grave and carefully placed a newly picked red coral flower on top of everything.

He buried his body on the grave, lying face down in the crooked arms, silent for a long time, the red coral flowers were right on top of his snow-white hair, the sea breeze blew, his white hair was messed up, and the red coral was also blown. The petals trembled slightly.

Not far away, Ah Yue with braids put a string of shell necklaces around Kai Lang's neck.

Zhou Yan had a panoramic view of these scenes.

They didn't stay too long, after seeing off Grandma Kui, he and Shen Du came to the beach in the south.

There was a pitch-black boat parked on the beach, and Chi Ying was sitting at the stern with double hooks around her waist, waiting for the two of them.

Seeing Zhou Yan and Shen Wang coming, he smiled and pointed to the boat: "Come on, let's go to Qingzhou."
