The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 574 Gossip
Guang Huan found that Gao Xinxin's face was ashen, as if he had heard huge bad news.Her thin body was shaking violently, and she could hardly stand still. Her eyes were red, and she kept shaking her head and stepping back.

Gao Yang stepped forward to help her, but Gao Xinxin suddenly opened his hand.

Gao Xinxin turned around and was about to run away. Gao Yang caught up with him and held Gao Xinxin's hand.

Gao Xinxin suddenly yelled like crazy, and Guanghuan could hear it even across the road: "Let me go... you liar... it's impossible..."

Guang Huan panicked for a moment.

What's going on?in argument?
No, the relationship between the brother and sister is very good. Gao Yang would send messages every two days asking Guang Huan about Gao Xinxin, and Gao Xinxin would never leave Gao Yang.

Last night, he and his brother and sister participated in his uncle's "Proposal Battle". They all went to dinner and sang karaoke together. Everything was obviously going well, so why did they suddenly start a quarrel?
Guang Huan was a little hesitant about whether to go over and act as a peacemaker.

But his intuition told him that the matter seemed serious.

Sure enough, Gao Xinxin went crazy. She raised her painting bag and threw it at Gao Yang. Gao Yang snatched the painting bag away.

Gao Xinxin took off her schoolbag and threw it at Gao Yang, but Gao Yang did not hide.

The schoolbag fell to the ground. Gao Xinxin was still angry. She clenched her fists and beat Gao Yang with all her strength. Gao Yang did not hide, like a sandbag stuck in place.

"Look, isn't that Gao Xinxin from the art class?"

"Who is that handsome guy? My boyfriend outside of school?"

"Ha, [-]% yes, is this a quarrel?"

"She must have been dumped. Seeing as she usually drags her to death, I never thought she would be dumped today..."

"Quick, quick, take a photo and send it to the group, this is a big melon."

Across the road, Gao Xinxin suddenly lost all her strength. She staggered and knelt down on the ground. Gao Yang knelt down and held her in his arms. He was silent and expressionless, like a robot.

Gao Xinxin buried her face in Gao Yang's chest, and her crying gradually became quieter.

"Oh my god, it's like acting in an idol drama."

"Quick, snap!"

Guang Huan's heart ached violently. He took back the mobile phone he used to buy movie tickets, turned around and stood in front of the two girls: "No filming allowed."

"Who are you?" The girl who raised her phone was very unhappy.

"It must be Princess Gao's licking dog again." Another girl said in a strange tone: "This is going to be the flower protector..."

"roll!"

Guang Huan, who had not been in a hurry with anyone in 18 years, roared with an almost ferocious expression.

The two girls were so frightened that they almost dropped their phones. They muttered something under their breath and left in a hurry.

……

Gao Shou and Lin Yue don't even have ashes. The only thing that can "prove" that they climbed Qingshan is a short surveillance video at the bottom of the mountain. The couple entered and exited the scene one after another, and the picture was blurry.

This was forged by Nana using [Thousand-Faced Man], which was enough to deceive Gao Xinxin.The brother and sister took three days off, packed up some of their parents' personal belongings, and put them into a small cardboard box, which they regarded as their parents' "bodies."

The incident happened suddenly, and there could be no such thing as a photo of the deceased.

The brother and sister were scrolling through their phones. On November 11, their father proposed to their mother, and they happened to take a nice photo together. They adjusted it to black and white and used it as a posthumous photo of their parents.

Early in the morning on the 13th, the brother and sister took a car back to the countryside. With the help of their uncle, Uncle Qing and some villagers and elders, they held a traditional funeral.

In the foggy world, some people will not have a funeral after death, and their families will choose to be cremated directly.

Later, Gao Yang figured out that these dead people were all high-level beasts, and the corpses had obvious characteristics of beasts, which triggered the logic correction and self-preservation mechanism of the lost ones, so he chose to be cremated quickly so that everything could return to "normal" as soon as possible.

Gao Yang's parents didn't even have a body, so the funeral could be held as usual.

The uncle invited a funeral team to set up the mourning hall and eat on running water mats. The two brothers and sisters knelt on both sides of the mourning hall, wearing sackcloth and mourning. They kowtowed to everyone who came, and there were loud gongs and drums and firecrackers.

At night, we follow a master's practice and circle around the coffin in the mourning hall to give salvation to the souls of our parents.

The master recited in vague language, and his tone was also very strange, like drunken gibberish, or some kind of off-key singing, with a sentimentality between yin and yang, which made people cry.

In the past, Gao Yang didn't quite understand why there was a funeral. The deceased was already dead. No matter how lively and grand the funeral was, it might have something to do with the deceased. Maybe the deceased would still find it noisy.

After these three days, Gao Yang realized that he was wrong.

The meaning of a funeral is, on the one hand, to mourn the deceased, and on the other hand, to save the living.

Because many people, including Gao Yang, could not bear the grief of life and death for a while, at this time, there was a task that had to be completed, which became Gao Yang's life-saving straw.

Funerals are exactly what they are.

During these three days in Gaoyang, I didn't have to think about anything and had no time to think about anything. I kowtowed to everyone I saw and various folk rituals were also fully arranged. I got up early in the morning and it was already late at night when I regained consciousness. I could just fall asleep.

After the three-day funeral, when Gao Yang came back to his senses, he found that he could face this sadness even without relying on [spiritual weapons].

It turns out that, except for death, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.

Human beings are really ruthless creatures.

My parents’ coffins were buried with my grandma on an old graveyard in the countryside, and my grandpa’s grave was also here.

On the morning of the funeral, the autumn air was crisp and the sun was warm.

Gao Xinxin and Gao Yang knelt on the hilltop full of fresh soil, watching their uncle, uncle Qing and several helpers, each with a shovelful of soil, bury the coffin and build it into a grave.

The uncle put down the shovel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said thanks: "Thank you for your help these days. Don't leave in a hurry. Let's have dinner and drink together at noon. I will entertain you well."

Soon, the crowd on the grave hill dispersed, leaving only Uncle, Gao Yang and Gao Xinxin.

The brother and sister were still kneeling at the grave, with blank expressions on their faces.
