Episode 13: Changdong personally burned the corpses
As the sandstorm passed, the sky gradually turned yellow. Ye Liuxi stood alone on the roof and looked at Changdong not far away. He saw him digging a grave with an engineering shovel and laying it with many branches, shrubs and weeds. Kong Yang Neatly arranged with the corpses of his teammates. After Changdong had saved everyone’s belongings, he poured gasoline on their bodies. The thick smoke and firelight reflected Changdong’s figure blurred and deformed.
Feitang, Ding Liu and others thought that they could not stay here. They should either continue on their way or retrace their steps to exit the customs. Changdong was still carving the shadow puppets of Kong Yang and his teammates in the side room. Ye Liuxi did not go to visit, knowing that it would be useless even if he did, so he simply left him alone for a while.
Ye Liuxi took the knife to find Lao Dian. While sharpening the knife, he questioned Lao Dian. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was at a loss. Lao Zhuan truthfully told the origin of the sand people. The origin can be traced back to a strange beast called “Yan Zhong”. This strange beast is greedy and bloodthirsty by nature. It loves to lick the secretion of Liusha Yadan. Salt will wake up every few decades or hundreds of years, and every time it wakes up, nearby villages will suffer.
At first, Yanzhong pretended to be an outsider and entered the village. Later, the whereabouts of the villagers gradually became unknown. However, it has a strong ability to adapt to the environment and can change its facial shape at will, making it difficult for people to see through. It will return to Liusha Yadan to sleep after being active for a period of time. Sandcoffins and Waterdew Swamp will serve as its guardians.
Because ordinary people couldn’t get close, Ye Liuxi wondered why there were sand people there, guessing that someone often fed corpses to Liusha Yadan. In the next two days, everyone continued to stay in place to rest. Ye Liuxi continued to play the “game”. Lao Shou, Ah He, and Fries were very nervous. They often faced Ye Liuxi’s cross-examination, and they would be detained if they were not careful. divided, and then died by the sword.
After several rounds, Ye Liuxi found that Lao Zhuan provided the most information, but he was also a fortune teller. Whenever she encountered difficult questions, he would advise her to go to the market. It is said that the market is protected by Black Rock City and uses wind power to generate electricity all year round. The locals can control the transportation of exotic animals at will. The common currency is gold foil or barter. This actually aroused Ye Liuxi’s interest.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Liuxi finally walked into the side room. Changdong was sitting in the corner blankly. He had lost a lot of weight, and green stubble appeared on his chin due to his slovenly appearance. Changdong dreamed of an endless desert road. He was sitting in the car, and next to him was Kong Yang, who was thinking about it day and night, still wearing a crimson dress.
Kong Yang advised Changdong to forget himself. Only by forgetting can he start again. A person’s life is thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, with countless guests coming and going. Some people add color to the mountains and rivers, and some make the sun and the moon dull. What he wants to do is to stand on the top of the mountain. After seeing all the mountains and rivers, you should never be obsessed with a stretch of sand dunes.
Because of this, Changdong, accompanied by Ye Liuxi, plucked up the courage to walk out of the side room, shaved and looked brand new, sat side by side with her outside, and looked up at the scorching sun and clear sky. Under the same sky, the shadows of the two people were sometimes far and sometimes close, almost as if they were far apart, and finally overlapped together, like a gentle embrace. Ye Liuxi sent Chang to the cellar in winter. The light and heat had not penetrated yet, and it was a bit cool inside. Three days had already given him great preferential treatment. The next step was to cheer up and face the future, and consider what to do next.
After sleeping for a long time, a day passed and a long night passed. Changdong woke up and saw Ye Liuxi lying next to him. He opened his eyes drowsily and deliberately disturbed the quilt he had folded. However, this time Changdong did not insist on his obsessive-compulsive disorder and tried hard to convince himself to accept the messy beauty that Ye Liuxi liked, and Ye Liuxi showed a happy smile.
