Who You Are

Chapter 57 - Secede The Yunmeng Jiang Sect

It's about two weeks since Wei Ying had settled into the burial mounds with the Wen Remnants.

Under Burial Mound, before the walls that were torn down, hundreds of fierce corpses really did roam. Jiang Cheng went forward. They did nothing at all. But if the disciples behind Jiang Cheng approached, they'd make low roars of warning. Jiang Cheng told the disciples to wait down the mountain. He went up alone, walking amid the dark forest. After he walked for a long time, human voices finally came from ahead of him.

A few round stumps were beside the mountain path, a large one, like a table, and a few smaller ones, like chairs. A red-clothed woman sat with Wei WuXian on two of the stumps. A man who seemed to be honest and simple was turning over the soil of the field nearby.

Wei Wuxian was shaking his leg, "How about potatoes?"

The woman's tone was resolute, "Radishes. Radishes are easy to grow. They don't die as often. Potatoes are hard to look after."

Wei Wuxian's stomach churned hearing her say radishes, "Radishes are disgusting."

Though, when has any food sounded good to him. Since his first time in the mounds, he hasn't been one to want food. Even more so now, as almost everything made his stomach churn. He was nauseated by the thought of a lot of foods.

...

"Radishes are a better choice in the end," Lan Xichen chimed in.

"You two!" Wei Ying whined, "the only radish I like is my Sizhui."

"Baba!" Sizhui yelled.

"You will always be my little radish," Wei Ying told him.

Sizhui chuckled happily, but also a bit shyly.

Lan Zhan chuckled at the two, he loved his two sons and Wei Ying very much. Jiang Cheng snorted but immediately felt uncomfortable as he knows what is about to happen.

...

Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing finally turned around. They weren't surprised when they saw him. Wei Wuxian stood up. When he walked over, he said nothing and continued to walk up the mountain, hands behind his back. Jiang Cheng didn't ask either, he just followed behind him.

Soon later, a group of men appeared beside the path, busying themselves before a rack made of wood. They were probably all cultivators of the Wen Sect. Yet, having taken off their robes of sun and flames and put on clothes made of coarse cloth with hammers and saws in their hands, timber and straws on their shoulders, they climbed up and down, worked inside and out; they were not at all different from ordinary farmers and hunters. When they saw Jiang Cheng, they could tell by his clothes and sword that he was a prominent sect leader. As though they still felt some fear, they all stopped what they were doing, looking over with hesitation, not even daring to let out a breath.

Wei Wuxian waved his hand, "Just continue."

As soon as he spoke, the people all went back to their work, feeling relieved. Jiang Cheng asked, "What are they doing?"

Wei Wuxian, "Can't you tell? Building houses."

Jiang Cheng, "Building houses? Then what were the ones we saw turning over the dirt when we came up here doing? Don't tell me you're really going to start farming."

Wei Wuxian, "Didn't you hear everything? We are farming."

Jiang Cheng, "You're farming on a mountain of corpses? Will the things that grow here be edible?"
