Chapter 901
We arrived at the Bleiyu village cemetery
Some of the old women that were watching had then said that if Phillip were to be more sincere and committed, he would have a chance. It showed that in this village, an honest man was preferred over a frivolous one.
“Ah, Mr. Takumi. Do you want more wine?”
“I hope you’ll be drinking a lot, like you did at the feast.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Ahaha. Thank you. We are headed somewhere now. But I can come back for it later.”
As we were walking through the village, some old men and women approached us with wine.
It seemed odd to want me to drink during the day. But it was a sign of their kindness, so I would gladly accept it.
I suppose it was also because I had drunk the wine during the feast. People would try to make me drink even more now. And it was difficult to refuse.
“So, this is where your old man is buried… It is a nice view from up here.”
The place she guided me to was to the east of the village, close to the fields. There was a small hill between the forest and fields.In Bleiyu village, they buried their dead.
After putting the coffins in the dirt, they would place wooden signs over them with their names carved in. And then the base of the sign was surrounded by stones.
From here, you could see the trees to the south, the fields to the north, and the houses northwest. It seemed like a perfectly peaceful spot for the dead.
There were numerous signs with names on them, and while they were not lined up perfectly, it was still very neat, and it showed how much the villagers cared about their ancestors.
“The old men and women come here regularly to make sure that it is not overrun by weeds. Also, they like the view.”
“Yes, I can understand that. So, where is…”
“Ah, it’s over… Huh!!”
“Ms. Delia?”
“…Mr. Takumi. I think someone is watching us.”
“Phillip, don’t call… Well, nevermind that now.”
Just as Ms. Delia was about to lead me to it, her tail and ears pricked up, and she jumped back.
“Mr. Ta-ta-ta-ta…kumi…”
“It must be serious to make Ms. Delia hide like this… What is it?”
“Perhaps she has sharper senses than me. …Still, I do sense something.”
“Uh, I suppose it is coming from that direction?”
“I cannot tell. But it probably is.”
“Mr. Ta-takumi. What are you going to do?”
“Well, we can’t do anything if we don’t know what it is. And if both of you are cautious, I think it’s best to stay away from it. And we don’t want to accidentally go in the wrong direction.”
I could only vaguely sense something, but even less so than Phillip.
If we weren’t careful, we might actually run in the direction of something we should be running away from.
Judging by the way that Ms. Delia had jumped back, it must be in the direction of the grave we had been headed to.
It was hard to move, with Ms. Delia holding onto my back, but I tried to slowly retreat, hoping that we could get away from this place…
