Grave-Robber, the Time Traveler - C129
Great Swallow, goodbye!
The bridal escort team left the capital in a flurry of blows. The spectators waited in line until the city gates to end.
After leaving the city, the group finally quieted down and stopped playing the music.
“Stop!” Chu Lingyun shouted, and the convoy stopped.
Yun Qixi opened the curtain and looked outside. Seeing Chu Lingyun riding on her horse back to the bridal sedan, she said gently, “Seventh Night, we have to go to Western Paradise at a much longer distance. When we get to the next town, I’ll have to switch to a horse carriage.”
“Alright.” Yun Qixi replied.
Just as she was about to put down the curtain, Chu Lingyun asked softly, “Qixi, are you unhappy?”
Yun Qixi raised her head and looked into his eyes. His clear eyes seemed to be able to look into one’s heart and her keen senses made her feel a sense of guilt.
Yun Qixi smiled at him and said, “No, I just don’t really like long journeys.”
Chu Lingyun heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed: “We can stop being in such a hurry, you don’t have to worry about it, we can walk while sightseeing, wherever you think is fun, you can even stay for a few more days if you want to.”
“Prince, this, this is not too good, right? After all, this is a welcoming party, not just out for a stroll. There are still rules, so how can you just walk around and stop?” How unlucky! ” The wedding maiden, who was standing by the side, couldn’t hold it in any longer and reminded her in a low voice.
Chu Lingyun laughed, “What does that have to do with anything? “It’s fine as long as I’m happy for seventy percent of the time.”
These words, together with his gentle smile, were like a warm sun that shone into the hearts of others.
“This …” This was probably the first time that the wedding lady had encountered something like this, but the two of them were not ordinary people, so she didn’t say anything more.
After walking for four hours, it was noon when they arrived at the town of Tzu Shui.
When a wedding procession passed by, it would always attract a crowd, not to mention such a spectacular one.
Hearing the bustling crowd, Yun Qixi pulled up the curtain and looked out. The people on the street were all staring at the bridal sedan curiously, and when they saw the curtain rise, they were even more eager to catch a glimpse of the new bride.
“Princess, don’t show your face so casually.” The bridal sedan lady reminded her in a low voice, wanting to put down the curtain.
But Yun Qixi just held tightly onto the red cloth and stopped moving, her eyes staring straight at one of the figures in the crowd.
The moment she lifted the curtain, the person who was originally standing in the crowd quickly left.
What a familiar back! When she tried to see more clearly, the figure was gone, but she was sure it wasn’t an illusion.
“Princess, what’s wrong?” the wedding maiden asked, noticing the change in her expression.
Yun Qixi shook her head, “It’s fine, tell His Royal Highness that I’m hungry.”
Chu Lingyun had already heard her words and ordered, “Find a place to rest.”
Yun Qixi did not care about the looks of the people around him, and just crawled out of the palanquin like that, she did not even cover her head. Xi Niang couldn’t stop him either, so she had no choice but to follow her. Along the way, all the rules were gone.
Chu Lingyun got off the horse, and walked to his side, “Ling Yun, can I not wear this, it’s too heavy.”
Chu Lingyun laughed back without thinking, “Fine, you can do whatever you want.”
“How can that be?” “There’s no other choice but to tell her.” It’s fine if you don’t follow the other rules, but how can you take off your wedding dress? ”
“That’s right, Miss Er, that’s not too good, right?” Even Qiao Er, who had not spoken a word along the way could not help but to speak.
“It’s not only going to change in the seventies. Everyone should have changed. After all, this is a long way to go, so it would be inconvenient to dress like this.” Chu Lingyun’s hammer stopped moving.
Although his words were usually very gentle, when he was serious, no one dared to refute him.
The group entered an inn.
Seeing so many people arrive, the innkeeper was so happy that he bloomed into a flower. He immediately had several waiters come to receive him.
After they had a simple meal, Yun Qixi said to Chu Lingyun, “I’m going to find a room to change.”
Chu Lingyun nodded, and said, “Okay.”
Yun Qixi asked the waiter for an empty room. The waiter led the way to the stairs and was about to go up to the second floor. However, the moment she raised her head, she saw a figure walking past on the second floor.
She walked back to Chu Lingyun’s side and said, “It’s better that we don’t change. Our journey is more urgent, we can change to a carriage and try to get there earlier.”
Chu Lingyun saw that her expression was strange, she put down her chopsticks, extended his hand out and grabbed her hand, and asked, “What’s wrong? “Are you not feeling well?”
Yun Qixi shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Chu Lingyun immediately ordered Xiao Yu, “Xiao Yu, go and hire some carriages, feed some grass to my horses.”
“Alright.” Xiao Yu responded and left.
When everyone was done eating, Xiaoyu’s carriage was ready, and everyone started their journey again.
Yun Qixi sat in the horse carriage and thought calmly for a while. Her lips lifted, and she could not help but snort coldly.
Walking out of Gentle Water Town, the liveliness reached a dead end. The string in Yun Qixi’s heart grew tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, he heard a cry.
Yun Qixi lifted the curtain and looked down. Not far away at the foot of the mountain, money was flying everywhere, and there were many people kneeling in front of a grave, crying sorrowfully.
It was noon now, but the sky seemed to have darkened a bit. The wind was getting stronger, and it seemed that the sky was going to change.
Some underworld money was flying over their heads and bodies along with the wind.
The wedding lady cried out in fear and waved her hands. She did not want the underworld money to stick to her, so she scolded from time to time, “What bad luck, how could something like this happen? This is too unlucky. ”
Yun Qixi raised her voice, “Let’s stop for a while.”
The wedding lady stared at her with wide eyes. “Princess, you have to wait for this place to pass before you can do anything. Today is your wedding day, it’s so unlucky to encounter such a thing. We have to quickly avoid it.”
Yun Qixi did not care about her, she had already climbed out of the carriage and jumped down.
“Ling Yun, if you run into this then it’s fate. I want to go burn some paper for this deceased.” Yun Qixi raised her head and said to Chu Lingyun.
Chu Lingyun was startled for a moment, but then nodded in understanding. “Alright.”
“Miss Er, this is not good, let’s hurry up and go. On such a happy day, how can you go and sticky someone to death? You can’t be so careless as to not care about anything. ” Qiao Er pulled her back.
Yun Qixi lightly patted her hand and laughed, “It’s alright, the thing that I, Yun Qixi, am least afraid of is the matter of dead people.”
After saying so, she stubbornly walked over under the puzzled gazes of everyone else.
Someone was feeling sad, but when they saw a woman in a wedding dress walking over, they actually forgot to cry. Gradually, more and more people noticed her and stared at her in surprise.
“If you cry so bitterly, and the souls of the dead leave, how can you rest in peace?” Yun Qixi walked over as she spoke.
When one of the women in mourning heard her words, tears welled up in her already swollen eyes.
“In my husband’s entire life, he has always been a man of his word. He has never done anything heinous, yet he died so miserably. What should I do now that I’m orphaned and widowed?”
The woman became more and more upset as she spoke. Then, she broke down and started crying again.
Yun Qixi saw a three or four-year-old little boy kneeling beside her. He had his eyes wide open as he looked at her in a daze, as if he did not know what had happened.
“The dead are gone, but the living can pursue them. My condolences for the time being.” After Yun Qixi finished speaking, she crouched down and started burning paper money.
“Sister-in-law Li, close the coffin. Let Big Brother Li rest in peace as soon as possible.” The person standing next to the grave advised.
Yun Qixi took a glance at the grave. The coffin had not closed, so it must be because this Li Clan sister-in-law was too sad and refused to close the coffin.
The woman only cried even more sorrowfully and did not speak. The others only thought that she had tacitly agreed, so they worked together to prepare to close the coffin.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a pile of underworld coins flew up into the sky, sending sparks flying everywhere.
The few brawny men who were about to close the coffin were confused. They all raised their hands to cover the flying ashes.
Only Yun Qixi opened her eyes and stared at the coffin in the grave calmly.
“This damn weather, I’m afraid it’s going to rain soon.” After the wind blew by, one of them cursed and closed the lid of the coffin.
Yun Qixi stood up, placing an item in the hands of Li Family’s sister-in-law, and said, “You have to raise your child well, your husband is in the sky watching over him.”
The Li family’s sister-in-law stared at the piece of gold in her hand and was stunned. She slowly raised her head and finally looked directly at the young girl before her.
The others were also surprised. To the villagers, some of them might have never seen what gold looked like in their entire lives.
Yun Qixi had already walked back, and everyone was staring at her, after that they saw the long procession, and knew that her identity was not simple.
When a joyous occasion occurred, not only did this girl not hide anything, she even made such a big deal?
Yun Qixi’s footsteps became lighter, seeing that Chu Lingyun was looking at her, she gave him a smile, then said: “Let’s go, I guarantee that we will not delay our trip any longer.”
Returning to the carriage, Qiao Er also entered it and could not help but say, “Miss Er, there are so many pitiful people in this world, you can’t care about them.”
Yun Qixi laughed but did not say a word.
Maybe everyone thought that she pitied that mother and son, and she did have some sympathy for them, but she did not love them that much. Qiao Er was right, there were too many pitiful people in the world. Only she knew that she only felt slightly guilty towards this Li family’s sister-in-law.
“Niangniang, where does this place belong to?” Yun Qixi asked the wedding lady who was outside the carriage.
Hearing Yun Qixi’s question, she replied, “This still belongs to Wishui Town. After a while, we’ll be at Shuncheng City.”
At Shuncheng, the sky darkened and the wind picked up.
Although the Shuncheng City was not as good as the capital, it was definitely a bustling city.
“Qixi, let’s settle down in Shuncheng tonight. “Because after leaving Shuncheng, we have to travel a long way to get to the next town.” Chu Lingyun said.
Yun Qixi nodded and replied, “Alright.”
As a result, they found an inn to stay in.
Yun Qixi had already expected that their journey wouldn’t go smoothly, but she didn’t expect that all of the unforeseen events would happen in the city.
Afterwards, she even ridiculed him saying that his name was’ Shuncheng ‘or’ Shuncheng ‘.
