Becoming An Ancestor In Another - Chapter 125

Bones were basically very difficult to distinguish. Now that the bones of her parents had disappeared from the place in Lily’s memory, it was unrealistic to find them elsewhere.

However, Kathleen did not want Lily to accept this brutal reality. She wanted to preserve the beauty of a child’s fantasy, so she dug the ground with Lily to find the bones of Lily’s parents.

Even if she could not find the bones, she might be able to find some of the personal items of Lily’s parents’ so that she could have some keepsake for remembrance in the future.

Although she did not hold out much hope, Kathleen did her best to rummage around. Suddenly, beneath a pile of dead leaves, she saw a tattered piece of cloth.

Just as she was about to take the cloth out, Lily quickly took it away. “This…. This is Mom’s clothing.”

Through this piece of cloth, it could be seen that Lily’s mother had also led a very difficult life when she was alive. There was a patch on the cloth.

Lily could recognize immediately that it was her mother’s clothing because of the patch, which she had sewn together with her mother two years ago. Thinking of this, Lily fell back into painful memories.

“Mom and Dad.” Lily, who had been struck by the painful memories again, could no longer control herself. She collapsed into Kathleen’s arms and burst into tears.

Affected by this sad emotion, Kathleen comforted Lily as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Zoro and Charles watched silently from behind. After all, the two men would not know what to say at such a time.

Her tender cries echoed in the forest and did not dissipate for a long time.

After crying for a while, Lily had probably walked out of her earlier emotions. She used her dirty hands to wipe the tears from her face. Her face was instantly covered in mud, like a little kitten.

Lily looked carefully at the fabric beneath her. She carefully selected a piece of the best-preserved material from the middle and took out her little wooden sword. She tied the cloth to her wooden sword.

Lily’s actions did not make sense to Kathleen, but she was also a little worried that Lily would start to be sad again another day when she saw this cloth.

However, Lily looked up. Her face, which had just been covered in dirt and tears, had a maturity and strength that surpassed her age. “Sister, I’m fine. Grandpa has told me before that I can’t be sad anymore after having cried over some things. I can’t cause a delay to all of you. Let’s go.”
As she spoke, she waved the little wooden sword in her hand and walked forward.

Zoro and the others were much faster than Aaron and the others. Under Lily’s lead, the few of them had arrived at their destination before dark, much faster than they had expected.

Their target was a minority tribe without even a name. According to what Aaron said previously, there were less than 300 people in the tribe back then. The village was rich in resources, and the people were very hardworking. They were able to be self-sufficient. It was just like an utopia.
However, things had not remained blissful. Two years ago, a strange disease suddenly broke out. There were constantly people having fever and coughing. Those who were infected would eventually die no matter what medicine they took.

Hence, when Aaron left, the entire village was no longer as prosperous as before. It had become exceptionally desolate.

But now, from Zoro’s perspective, this village was not only desolate, it also emitted an aura of death.

There seemed to be not a single person in the village. There were not even any animals. The house looked like it had not been inhabited for a long time. The entrance had piled up with weeds.

As such, this village was a dead village. There was no one at all, and it had even been abandoned for many years.

This meant that not long after Aaron had left, the entire village became empty. It was not known if it was due to the strange disease or if everyone had moved elsewhere.

Zoro did not give up. They entered the village again and looked at the few houses, only to find that there was a lot of food and clothing inside. They did not look incidental.

They could not have left in such a hurry, could they?

The few of them walked around the village but did not find any information. Instead, they became more and more puzzled about the village.

“Where is everyone? Why has everyone disappeared?” Lily had not expected this scene.

“Everyone should have moved elsewhere,” said Kathleen soothingly.

Zoro was very disappointed when he saw this scene. He had hoped to find a few more descendants of the Nicholas family here. He did not expect his trip to be wasted.

Just as the few of them were about to leave, a strange sound came from the door. This gave Lily a fright and she ran quickly behind Kathleen.

Zoro and Charles did not panic, they looked ready to fight at any moment.

They walked over toward the sound. It was actually a wild boar. Although this wild boar was a very dangerous creature to ordinary people, it was nothing to Zoro and Charles. Their eyes revealed their desire for food.

suddenly, Zoro found that there was something wrong with the wild boar. “Everyone, be careful.”

After hearing Zoro’s words, the few of them also discovered the abnormality. The wild boar was limping, and it was emitting soft roars from its throat; saliva was dripping continuously from its mouth. Its red eyes looked at everyone.

“What a strange wild boar.” Zoro could not help but sigh.

As the wild boar turned around, everyone was shocked. It tuned out that on the right side of the wild boar’s body, there were many very disgusting boils. Some of them had already burst, oozing pale yellow thick liquid. It made anyone looking feel uncontrollably disgusted.
“Ah!” When Lily saw it, she exclaimed in shock, “It seems to have contracted the kind of sickness that the villagers had previously.”

Zoro thought about it carefully, and found that the symptoms were somewhat similar to what Aaron had said about the disease. However, what surprised him was that after so many years, the disease still existed, and even animals had not been spared.
No wonder everyone had moved away.

suddenly, taking advantage of Zoro’s surprise, the wild boar charged at Zoro like it had gone mad, as if it wanted to eat Zoro.

However, Zoro was not afraid. Instead, he quietly accumulated the energy in his body and kicked it away the moment it charged at him.

The wild boar instantly flew to the opposite wall, and even the wall almost collapsed from the impact.

Upon seeing this disgusting sight, the few of them immediately lost their interest in eating the wild boar. They could only shake their heads and prepare to leave this place to avoid contracting this strange disease.

Unexpectedly, as the wall collapsed, that wild boar did not die. It stood up unsteadily.

From the energy unleashed by Zoro just now, not to mention a wild boar, even if it had been a larger animal, it would have died immediately. It was unexpected that the wild boar would have such a tenacious life force..
