Three days later.
Xiao Mian received a piece of news that made her heart tremble.
Ye Yan had died.
He died several miles from the base of Mount Wuyi, his head severed from his body, his limbs cruelly chopped off and scattered around.
Ye Yan's body was discovered by villagers.
When the body was brought back, the girl fell into silence.
Xiao Erlang turned gray-haired overnight.
There was no funeral.
The girl and Xiao Erlang buried Ye Yan on the mountain, next to the girl's grandfather.
This was the second grave on Mount Wuyi.
The next day.
The girl and Xiao Erlang left the foot of Mount Wuyi, and no villager knew where the two had gone.
For the commoners at the base of Mount Wuyi, these two gradually became the protagonists of their stories, and after a few years, the names of the two began to fade from memory.
The villagers' days still went on as usual.
