GBP Chapter 202 Letter
Chapter 202 Letter
Waiya and the others’ reply came very late.
It didn't arrive until the end of March. There were five letters when they were sent, and three when they came back.
The thickest one was naturally written by Waiya. She still drew many circles in the letter, and there were many typos. She scribbled and made no progress at all, but her writing was steady and powerful, and each word had a sense of solidity and squareness.
It was a huge pile of words, obviously not written in one day, but rather like a diary accumulated over many days. Even the paper was different. The one on the top was a letter to the child, with only a few sentences -
I have so much to tell you, but I don't have the time right now. You can just look at me. I'm going to finish what I want to say now.
The child flipped through two pages roughly. Most of the letters were about what they had seen and heard after they separated. They were very long and detailed. She couldn't finish reading them all at once, so she put them down and read the other two.
There was a reply letter signed by Hu Shanniang, Zhuier and Chang Xiaoyu, but it was clearly written by Shanniang alone. It was similar to the letter from the children. There was nothing much to talk about between them, just asking how they were and expressing a few polite words of concern.
The child scratched his head and cheeks while writing, and finally managed to get enough paper for each person to write one page. They probably did the same, a total of three pages, all of which were repetitive, and the beautiful handwriting was written in large letters.
The paper is full of embarrassment.
It seems that the meaning is that each person has one page of paper, written by Shan Niang. Every time someone is mentioned, she says hello. Happy New Year, Happy Lantern Festival, and every other festival are greeted in advance.
It was obvious that everyone was having a hard time putting the words together, but they still sincerely thanked the child for the gift and gave her a gift in return.
Just like what the children gave, they were all things they found fun and interesting.
Odds and ends like a small machete and a bottle of drugs.
The most valuable of them were two monster eggs, said to belong to a vulture. Chang Xiaoyu had managed to steal them with great difficulty. There were only three of them, and he was punished for provoking the vulture. He kept one for himself, gave one to the child, and one to An Xi.
The reason he gave them this was that the child gave him Anxi's bow and arrow. He liked it very much, so much so that he used it to shoot vultures on the day he received it.
The bow was almost broken and people were almost killed, but luckily they ran fast.
If the child had known this would happen, he would not have been given it.
If it weren't for the fact that it was useless to her and it would be a pity to keep it, she wouldn't give it away.
No one knew where they encountered the monster. The letter was vague and didn't even explain how to hatch the eggs.
The child had no choice but to put it and those things aside.
The last letter was from Cao Ping.
He didn't even say hello, he just said -
[I've received the letter and the things. I don't like fish, so don't send it next time. I wanted to let you try the bacon I made, but you don't eat meat, so forget it.]
The child turned the envelope over again without giving up, but couldn't find even a stone or a leaf.
He didn't send anything.
The kids even bought a lot of salted fish that are unique to this place...
His ability is to transform into fish, yet he doesn't like fish. Does that make sense?
The child doesn't want to pay attention to him anymore!
Waiya is still the best, giving her such a big box of things!
The child picked up the key from Waiya's envelope and opened the big box on the ground with great anticipation...
"This is……"
"bone?"
The child flipped through it in confusion, then held up a skull.
Aunt Yu, who was about to come in to join in the fun, screamed and collapsed, holding onto the door frame.
Little Child: “She fainted from fright.”
Children also want to faint because...
Many ghosts emerged from the human bones, almost filling the entire room.
Waiya, thank you so much.
Why would you give me something like this if you have no grudge against me?
The ghosts were no strangers either, chattering away in a flurry so that you couldn't hear what they were saying.
The child didn't want to listen, so she woke up Aunt Yu first.
It was only after her horrified questioning that the child turned around and asked about this matter. He also flipped through Waiya's letters to try to find clues to explain their origins.
It took me a long time to figure it out.
It turns out that these people were picked up from the battlefield when Waiya and her companions were learning skills. Their souls are intact and their homes are in Suicheng and the surrounding villages and towns.
It’s just that he was never buried after his death, so even if he has some obsessions, it can’t be considered as not being buried.
There were many bodies on the battlefield that had to be buried on the spot because there was no time to clean them up, and there were also many people whose hometowns were too far away to be sent back. This was what happened to them.
If they are lucky, their good comrades will send their belongings back, but if their comrades also die, their families can only get the silver pension.
If you can't do it in time, you must always take care of the living first.
Moreover, after so many years and with so many corpses, it is impossible to send them all back home.
Waiya and the others are well aware of this, but they still want to do something when they encounter it.
These people have no other obsessions, they just want to go home, but they can't find the way.
Maybe it’s because I’m dead, so I get lost when walking on the road in the world of the living and can’t find my way home.
It happened that the child was in Suicheng, so she picked up the bones of these people and put them into a box, and asked the child to return them to their families to relieve their obsession.
It is also a good thing to accumulate merit.
The child had no interest in such good things, but Waiya and the others had already exposed her past, and it was too late for her to pretend to be blind.
It has been delivered, so there is no point in ignoring it.
The child sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll go and take it there. You guys... just come one by one. Don't rush."
Those soldiers in helmets and armor were quite reasonable. They clasped their fists and sang in unison.
There was a person who was good at speaking who even said that it was all up to her and that she had been waiting for many years and these few days were not a big deal.
The child didn't believe a word of it. At first, Mu Shuanglin spoke in a nice voice and it sounded better than singing, but what happened? He turned into an evil ghost as soon as he said so.
The child remembered this incident and warned them: "Don't hurt anyone, or I will beat you to death and send your bones back."
The child even gathered his spiritual energy into his fists and made a couple of gestures. They were indeed a little scared.
However, the eloquent one still said, "There's no need for you to do this, benefactor. We are all good men and women who are determined to defend our land and expand our territory. Even if we become ghosts, we have no intention of harming others and will never do anything evil. If this is the case, there's no need for you to do it. Even if there's no punishment from heaven, we will kill him."
It sounds quite righteous, and those people are very confident about it.
The child believed them for the time being and helped them divide the bones.
Aunt Yu was too scared to enter the house, but seeing the child busy, she still mustered up the courage to come in, took out a piece of cloth and said, "Hey, girl, don't put it on the ground, use this."
The child was very surprised.
Because Aunt Yu took out a piece of new cloth, which was also a festival gift from the mansion. She was reluctant to use it even if a child gave it to her to make clothes, but now she was willing to use it to place bones?
Of course Aunt Yu was reluctant to do so.
Such good cloth could be sold for a piece of coarse cloth and some money could be left over, but... Alas, isn't it true that the dead are greater? She is not stupid, so how could she not hear it?
These are soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country. They were probably not very old, but they died like this. There are knife marks on their bones. They are broken into pieces like this. How painful it must have been when they died.
It's so hard to get home, my parents must be waiting so long...
She hated to see children suffer, so naturally she wanted to be nice to them.
Just give up a piece of cloth.
The child did not stop her, but praised her and said, "How generous! I will buy you another one later."
"Don't waste your money," Aunt Yu said, then turned stingy again. "I don't need clothes, saving money is the most important thing."
Living in the city costs money everywhere, and they are still living in a rented house, which is not a long-term solution.
