Chapter 173 Backlight

When Run'an heard that Lin Yi was going to the funeral place with him, his face was stunned, and then he showed a smile.

I was stunned because the other party's proposal was a little too sudden. After all, it was really difficult for an outsider to participate in the funeral. Therefore, the son's face was full of embarrassment before, and the subsequent smile was obviously because the other party was willing to avoid this funeral and chose to go together.

Lin Yi saw the change in the expression on Run'an's face and continued to say carelessly, "Okay, let's go. Don't let the people in the yard wait."

When Run'an heard this, he said gratefully, "It makes sense, so let's go."

The two walked out of the dark room with only firewood burning. After Run'an and Lin Yi walked to the yard, the former introduced a few words to Run Xin, and then the three walked out of the fence in the courtyard and walked far away to the village.

The dam village is a little noisy tonight, or since something big happened in the village, people will walk out of the houses and go to the place where the incident happened.

Runxin's home is close to the entrance of the village, and after leaving the village entrance, it is the east path. Therefore, Runxin's home is a little far away from Run'an's house. Of course, with their hurried footsteps, no matter how far the distance is, it will shorten countless times, so after less than a meal, the three of them have come full of people. The noisy Lexin family.

If who is in the worst mood at this moment, it is undoubtedly the leap Xin who came to invite Run'an, but if you want to talk about Shui's mood, it is naturally Lin Yi, because although he heard Run Xin explain the whole story in detail on the road, he always felt that this matter was too ridiculous. .

A good living person disappeared from the East Mountain?

What's more strange is that he had a companion who only disappeared within an hour of sunset?

Lin Yi's heart was full of doubts, but he didn't come out clearly about this matter. After all, he was an outsider who had just arrived in the dam village and didn't want to participate in the matter casually. Moreover, if he investigated the matter and offended people, wouldn't he seek his own suffering and provoke a lot of anger?

He never ate so freely, and he would not do such a meaningless thing, so after entering Runxin's home with Run'an, he was silent and only watched all this as a bystander.

The number of people in Daba Village has not been large since ancient times. Almost every family has only one child. Such a breeding and gradual cycle has created the current situation that the whole village has no more than 100 households.

Because of the limited number of people, people here can recognize who they are with their eyes closed. Therefore, even if Lin Yi stood next to Run'an as a silent person, he still attracted the attention of many people, such as the strong man who went to the sacrificial adults when Lin Yi entered the village.

The man's name is Lem Silent. There is no doubt that he is a farmer, but his identity is more important than the Lem An Xin A Niu and even the long-disappeared Lem brother, because Lem Silent is a candidate for the next generation of sacrifices.

The sacrificial adults of this generation are over 100 years old, and they look like skeletons and are extremely old. Lin Yi has seen the sacrificial adults in this village, so he knows that the other party is not many years old, but he does not know that the man who is staring at him in the distance is the sacrificial candidate of the next generation in the village.

Who is the sacrifice? This question is very important for the residents of Dam Village, because they are not so serious about choosing the village head, but for a practitioner who comes here only to restore bones, he doesn't care what kind of benefits and status the sacrifice enjoys. Lin Yi is the one who came He is a practitioner of bone restoration in Dam Village, so he is looking forward to the days in a month, so that he can complete the bone restoration as soon as possible and return to the practice world as soon as possible.

The vast road to practice, the future is as vague as fog. Lin Yi doesn't want to waste too much of the world wandering, and he won't easily say defeat on the way to practice, but after all, practice is practice, isn't it as simple as usual breathing and exhalation?

The noise came one after another, and Runxin's home was already full of villagers. Lin Yi and Run'an rarely found a place to stand, but they didn't know when it would be their turn to help.

Run'an's face has always been bad. I don't know whether it was because he was worried about the missing brother Leun, or because of the accumulation of too many people, so his son was a little uncomfortable by the heat in the courtyard. He looked up worriedly and looked into the room and rubbed the sweat in his heart from time to time.

Lin Yi was next to Run'an, quiet like a wooden sculpture. His handsome face was still beautiful, and his deep eyes looked directly at the passing crowd. A woman's crying came from the room and sounded in countless voices full of shouts. Lin Yi was a practitioner, so he clearly heard this vague and distorted sound.

The voice is the sound of red flowers. She has been in a coma since she came back from Dongshan. She is lying on a brand-new embroidered wood**, with red tears flowing like a river, looking sad and sad.

Run'an didn't hear the sound of red flowers, because the crying was extremely weak, and there were so many villagers around who spoke loudly, but at this time, Lin Yi suddenly reached out and patted Run'an on the back, and then said, "Are we leaving here first? It seems that there is nothing worth our help, and According to your current situation, there is no way to enter the house at all.

When Run'an heard Lin Yi's opening, he frowned slightly and was silent for a moment, so he nodded and walked first to the gate.

After walking out of Runxin's home, Lin Yi followed Run'an to the courtyard. The yard was still full of people. There were men carrying tables and chairs, and aunts washing plates and porcelain cans. They were preparing for the funeral. Tomorrow must be the official funeral day of Brother Run.

Lin Yi sighed softly, and then looked casually at the moonlight in the ink-like sky. The stars were still shining on the night sky. However, on such a night, he suddenly thought of another thing.

Where did your senior sister go?

Has she returned to Run'an's home?

Does she know that she is at Runxin's home?

Three questions came one after another and quietly flashed through Lin Yi's heart. He wanted to turn his head and say goodbye to Run'an for the time being. However, at the moment he withdrew his eyes, a silver light suddenly rose in the vast mountain of Dongshan, which was as dark as a fierce beast.

This is an extremely pure silver light, but also a backlight.

The silver light is like a beam of light growing from the ground, and the beam of light shines directly into the bright stars, as if going straight through the sky, making the moonlight fade and making the stars dim.

Lin Yi saw the appearance of this silver light, so he also felt the familiarity, but his heart could no longer calm down.
