Chapter 45 Chongyang Silhouette (1)

    Hurry up and hurry up, it was already dark before reaching the seaside fishing village. On the mountain road, they were the only ones traveling by a carriage. The lights of the village could be seen in the distance, and seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, King Ying didn't seem to rush to the village to sleep, and decided to sleep in the open air today.     "Back then, Chu Tianxing

    and I used to travel at night. It's normal to sleep in the open air. With the sky as a bed and the ground as a bed, you can still see the stars in the sky. I miss it so much!"

I don't have any experience in the wilderness, and I don't have the face to say that I have been in the rivers and lakes, crawling and rolling in the rivers and lakes.

    If you have a carriage, you don't really need to sleep in the wild.

    Several people shared the dry food, which were the yakiniku and the packaged roast chicken bought in the previous town. The yam cake is not yet cold and hard, and the roast chicken is still steaming. While they were eating, they listened to King Ying talking about some interesting things from earlier. Speaking of where they were now, he seemed to recall a past event.

    "Going further from the name of this place, there is a small village called Xiaojiang Village. Most of the men in the village make a living by catching the sea. Little, do you know why?"

    "Why?" Yan Huanhuan asked obediently.

    Ying Wang sighed, "That's because once the old man can't do any more work, he will be sent to the mountain. You can't see it when it's dark. If it's daytime, you can see many tombs in the mountain that look like built houses. The tomb was unsealed when it was first built. After the old people lived in it, the younger generation would deliver meals every day. Once they were sent, they would add a brick and stone until it was completely sealed, commonly known as the living grave."

    Among the three, only the Yan Huanhuan was shocked.

    "If the old man inside was still alive when it was sealed..."

    "No matter life or death, the seal is correct."

    It was too cruel, too inhumane.

    Yan Huanhuan looked at the forest in the dark. The forest in the dark seemed to hide countless monsters and ghosts. Thinking of such a heinous custom makes me shudder. What kind of mood did those old people go up the mountain with, and what kind of mood did they see their children and grandchildren seal a brick every day when they came to deliver meals.

    Perhaps it was the case for generations, they were already numb.

    "Then, are there still unsealed living graves on this mountain?" she asked.

    "There should be."

    She got off the carriage and said, "Let's dig up the graves of the living people and rescue the old people."

    "And then?" Zhong Ting asked, "Who will take care of the old people? You and I can do it for a while, but what about later? The government will not take over, and the children and grandchildren of those old people are unwilling to accept them. Where will they go? Do you know why there is such a custom? It is because of food shortages. I want to lighten the burden on my descendants to go up the mountain voluntarily, and gradually evolve into today's living graves."

    She was sad, "Should we just do nothing? Old senior, you are the prince. You definitely have the right to speak in Ying Kingdom, why do you Don't speak out and abolish this bad habit?"     "Many years ago, Chu Tianxing and I also tried to change the fate of these people. This place is not far from Chongyang Mountain. Chu Tianxing once wanted to lead the people of this side to become rich and make them food and clothing. Worry no longer abandons the elderly. However, there are many resistances, on the one hand, from their deep-rooted thinking, on the other hand, from the evil of human nature. When this evil becomes habitual, everyone takes it for granted. Destruction of this evil is equal to peace They did the right thing. We were disheartened after our hard work, and we had to give up."     Yan Huanhuan's blood was slowly cooling down, and the heart was the most difficult to calculate. What can she do about the matter that Saint Master Chu and the old seniors are powerless to do?     Does it really do nothing?     "I still want to give it a try..."     "Girl Huan, I know you have a good heart. All you see is this Xiaojiang Village. Do you know how many places in Yinguo have such customs?"
