Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 171 Burial

"Good and evil are opposites that coexist."

"Kindness is not your fault, hurting you is their fault."

“They feel that their background and social standing give them the confidence to not be responsible for the weak. They have tasted the power of authority in these weak people and have become uncontrollable because of it.”

Although Feng Siyue is young, she is not stupid.

These people can freely torture and kill others simply because their backgrounds can silence them.

Therefore, they acted without restraint.

The little girl seemed to understand, but not quite. "So, it's because we're not strong enough. It has nothing to do with kindness."

Feng Siyue's lips curled up slightly. "Little girl is very smart. Strength is the real capital in this world. As long as you are strong enough, the power of speech will be in your favor."

Xiao Ya didn't speak; she seemed to be trying to understand Feng Siyue's words.

After a moment, Feng Siyue spoke.

"arrive."

Yu Xiaoya looked up and realized that they had arrived at the mountainside.

Here, the slope is very gentle.

Wildflowers bloom profusely all over the mountains and fields, green grass sways in the wind, and dewdrops hang from the tips of leaves.

Across from Banpo lies Qianshui City, hidden beneath the clouds and drizzle, the once bustling city of Qianshui.

On the hillside, a large pit had already been dug, and Xuan Li and Steward Cai were standing to one side, digging the soil with shovels.

Upon seeing them arrive, she wiped the sweat from her brow.

"coming?"

"coming."

Manager Cai bowed politely, "Miss."

Feng Siyue nodded in agreement.

Yu Xiaoya gently squeezed Feng Siyue's shoulders, staring at the person in the pit without saying a word.

The old man, who I remember as someone who was reluctant to buy himself nice clothes, was wearing a silk dress today, which made him look much more energetic, though his face was pale.

His coffin contained a great deal of gold and silver treasures.

The old man lay quietly inside, as if he were asleep.

Yu Xiaoya had a strange feeling that if she shouted, the people inside would come back to life.

But she knew perfectly well that her grandfather would never open his eyes again.

forever.

Two lines of tears streamed down her face as she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Miss Chu, please... bury my grandfather properly."

The last few words were so light they were almost weightless.

"Have you decided yet?"

"......"

"Ah."

"It's decided."

Yu Xiaoya didn't really know how she uttered those words. She sat on the rock, watching Miss Chu and Miss Ruan personally bury her grandfather.

She was very quiet….

very quiet.

She didn't cry out loud, but she just couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

In the end, Grandpa went from a living person to a small mound of earth.

She finally accepted the fact that her grandfather had left her.

Feng Siyue carried Yu Xiaoya to the erected monument and handed her a dagger. "Xiaoya, you write the name on this monument."

Yu Xiaoya wiped away her tears, silently took the dagger, and forcefully carved a line of crooked words on the wooden board: "Grandpa's Grave".

The little girl, her voice trembling with tears, said, "Grandpa, it's because I'm incompetent that I can't even carve your name on the tombstone."

"Little girl, I can't let bad people disturb Grandpa's peace, and I don't want you to die without finding peace."

"But Grandpa, don't worry. When Xiaoya has the ability in the future, she will definitely renovate it for you in a grand and glorious way. At that time, no one will be allowed to disrespect the deceased."

After the monument was erected, Yu Xiaoya kowtowed three times.

Feng Siyue stood in front of the tombstone and whispered her assurance, "Grandpa Yu, don't worry, Xiaoya will definitely live a peaceful and safe life."

This can be considered her explanation.

Then, Feng Siyue squatted down, patted the little girl's head, pointed at Steward Cai, and smiled.

"Little girl, this is Manager Cai Zhongxi. He will arrange a very good place for you."

"You can grow up safely there, and we will come to see you when we have time."

Yu Xiaoya looked at the kind-faced middle-aged man beside Feng Siyue and nervously grabbed Feng Siyue's clothes.

"Miss Chu, can't I come with you?"

Feng Siyue shook her head. "Xiaoya, we have very important things to do, and the place we're going to is very dangerous, so we can't take you with us."

"But don't worry, we'll definitely come see you once we're done with our work, okay?"

Yu Xiaoya glanced at Feng Siyue, then at Steward Cai, and said sensibly, "Okay."

She couldn't cause any more trouble for the two young ladies.

Feng Siyue patted her head.

"good."

Yu Xiaoya left with Cai Zhongxi.

As for where they went...

Feng Siyue believed that the place Manager Cai mentioned would definitely allow Xiaoya to grow up happily.

The Li family and that Imperial Noble Consort should not be able to trace them back to them yet, and Qingqing did not even give them a chance to leave a photo or send a message.

Therefore, it is safe for the time being.

They could no longer stay in Thousand Water City.

It's a pity about Feng Ning's courtyard; they haven't even lived there for long before it has to be put on hold again.

"Feng Siyue, are we going to that haunted town mentioned in the trial token next?"

Feng Siyue nodded. "Yes."

That's right, after half a year, the Trial Token has issued a mission once again.

Trial Mission: Ghost Town

There is a small town on the northwestern border of Huangyan Leizhou, by the sea.

The townspeople are self-sufficient through fishing. Although they are not wealthy, they live a peaceful and contented life.
