Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 136 Waiting for Them to Come Back

Where Qin Yan stops happens to be the gate of the city.

He stands in front of the gate alone with his sword placed against his back so as to prevent him from falling down in this way.

Gao Ge is standing beside Qin Yan. He stares at Qin Yan and can only think of one word.

That is—tragic!

When the enemies go through the gate, they are not willing to approach Qin Yan, they move in an even careful way for fear that he may suddenly strike at them.

Only Gao Ge knows Qin Yan is completely dead now.

“General Qin, so this is the story you want to tell me?” Gao Ge asks.

When he says that, he feels dizzy again.

He feels as if the whole world is shaking.

The sand blows by again with the smell of blood.

The smell of blood fades away slowly. When Gao Ge opens his eyes again, he has been in the street.

Watching the dress of the passers-by, he knows that this is the street of the Ming Dynasty.

While he is wondering why Qin Yan makes him come here, he hears someone shouting.

“That bastard’s wife and child are to be executed!”

A group of people rush towards the same direction like a tide.

Gao Ge freezes out of shock.

He has just seen how Qin Yan died.

How come Qin Yan has become a “bastard” now?

Isn’t what they are talking about Qin Yan? It is not likely. After all, this world is created by Qin Yan. In no way does it have nothing to do with him.

Following the crowd, he arrives at the execution ground in the street.

There are two wooden supports, to which a woman in a white dress and a little boy with his hair tied up are attached. The boy is about seven or eight years old.

In front of them there is some firewood with some oil on it.

The boy does look a bit like Qin Yan. Although the woman doesn’t look very beautiful, she appears rather amiable.

“Emm, are they Qin Yan’s family?”

“Yeah. It’s all his fault! The fact that Qin Yan betrayed our country is terrible enough. Now his wife and kid are also implicated. His father just died of a heart attack upon knowing the news and his mother also hanged herself at home.”

“Did Qin Yan really betray his country?”

“Of course he did! The enemy claims that Qin Yan is dead. Otherwise, how can’t we find his corpse? He hasn’t showed himself by now. He may have died of a disease. Humph. This bastard should go to hell after death!”

Gao Ge is completely astonished.

He finally comes to understand what is going on.

After Qin Yan died fighting on the battlefield, the enemy took his corpse away and spread the news that Qin Yan had surrendered and died of a disease in the city.

Thus, Qin Yan’s parents are dead. Now his wife and kid are to be burned to death.

That’s what is happening.

Gao Ge can hardly believe his ears.

These people...

Are they idiots?

Haven’t they ever thought of searching for any evidence?

Those are the enemy troops!

How can the people just believe what the enemy said?

Can’t they even think independently?

“B**ch, you deserve this!” Someone throws cabbage towards Qin Yan’s wife.

After that, people throw eggs, tomatoes and other stuff at her.

All the stuff is thrown on the woman.

“We cannot let go of the little bastard!”

Someone is striking an attack at the kid.

The people start to curse and talk billingsgate.

They also make some wild guesses.

“Let me tell you. Actually, this woman is rather dissolute. While Qin Yan was out for the battle, she was not free at home. All the servants in her house have slept with her!”

“Is that so? Ha ha. No wonder this kid doesn’t look like Qin Yan. Nobody knows who his father is!”

It is beyond Gao Ge’s understanding.

He punches over but fans the air with his fist through the woman’s body.

He rushes forward to ask the yenta where she got the rumor.

Did she see that with her own eyes?

Did she hear it with her own ears?

Gao Ge wants to shout out loud. Even though it is Qin Yan’s own business, he gets extremely furious.

He has seen the tragic death of Qin Yan. Even he died, he didn’t fall down and still stood at the gate of the city like a God of Door. However, after he died, his family is broken up, with his parents hounded to death as well as his wife and kid to be burned to death. No one will step up to say that they should not only listen to the statement of the enemy without any evidence.

Is there none of them smart enough to think?

The flame of his anger is burning heavily.

Hearing the miserable screaming, Gao Ge becomes pale.

The onlookers who are spitting belong to the times hundreds of years ago. They are dead now.

However, aren’t there any people like them in the current times?

Of course yes.

They fling curses online. When someone says something, they will respond to that. For instance, a girl student said that she was sexually harassed by her teacher. Afterwards, various curses rolled in, forcing the teacher to leap to his own death. In the end, he was cleared of wrongdoing. It turned out that the student disliked the teacher so she slandered him on purpose.

Did those who followed others to fling various curses ever feel guilty?

After they knew what actually happened, they just said one word.

Oh.

It seems that it has nothing to do with them.

It seems that they have never said anything.

The world is very terrible.

It is still the same from beginning to end.

People will talk.

It is never the words but those who say the words that are terrible. If they have brains, how come they don’t even have the ability to think independently?

Gao Ge finally opens his eyes.

He has come back to the tube-shaped apartment building.

Qin Yan pours himself some wine and drinks it with smack of his lips, saying that it tastes so good!

When he puts down the bowl, he looks at Gao Ge, saying with a smile.

“Actually, I find that ghosts cannot shed tears.”

Gao Ge sits there without saying anything. He thinks that Qin Yan should not have told him the story. After hearing the story, he feels that the world is hopeless. As someone said before, the mortal world is not worthy.

It is full of negative power.

“Thus, that’s why you stay here and don’t want to leave? You want to seek revenge?” After a long while, Gao Ge asks Qin Yan while staring at him.

Qin Yan shakes his head and watches Gao Ge, saying in a soft voice, “Do you know where this place was?”

“Where was it?”

“The execution ground.” Qin Yan says, “So I want to wait here to see whether my wife and kid will come back.” Qin Yan says, “They are so grieved and wronged. They must not be gone, right?”

Gao Ge clenches his fists and keeps silent.

He turns around to look at the sky. It is full of stars.

It has been at night since he listened to a story. Time flies.
