Chapitre 90: Chapter 88: Watching the Ceremony
It's still the same morning, but there are always some things that won't stay the same forever.
For example, there is less sunshine this morning.
Although it has only been a few days, Carl has already become accustomed to the sunshine.
But what can we do about this kind of thing?
Carl couldn't hold up his Glock and say to God,
Shit, you bastard, I want sunshine, sunshine, understand? I promise, if you don't give me sunshine, I will let you see your own brains.
Even if Carl had such an idea, God had no brains.
It was past half past seven and we had already had breakfast, but the sky was still gray.
But just being gray cannot change the original plan.
On the contrary, this grayness actually comes at a very appropriate time.
Because today is the day for Hershel's family to rest in peace.
Of course, it's the deceased but not yet completely dead family members, not the existing ones.
Sean and the others came back very early yesterday, probably around three in the afternoon.
The harvest was fruitful, but no survivors were encountered.
Of course, helping Hershel's family rest in peace requires Sean and the others to come back.
If Carl remembered correctly, there were a lot of zombies in the barn, not just family members, but also neighbors.
Sean, Daryl, T-boy, and More have gathered. Although More's leg injury has not fully recovered, there is no problem if it only involves shooting.
Four men, carrying a bag of weapons, sat in the open space outside the barn, smoking. No one spoke, and everyone was silent.
They already know what they are going to do.
Karl knocked on the door of Hershel's building, carrying two kilogram bags of nuts and a box of pure milk.
"Boom, boom…"
This time the door was closed, and there was no immediate response after I knocked.
After a few minutes, the door opened. It was Hershel who opened the door. This was the first time Hershel opened the door himself.
Hershel glanced at Carl, said nothing, and turned to walk into the house.
Carl followed him in.
On both sides of the long dining table were Maggie and Beth Patricia on one side and Otis and Jimmy on the other.
All the Hershel family members were sitting here.
The first seat was empty, so Hershel returned to the first seat and sat down, still without saying anything.
There was no food on the table; they were not gathered here to eat.
But waiting, waiting for Carl to come.
During yesterday's conversation, Carl suggested that everyone go to watch the ceremony.
That's right, watch the ceremony.
It's just like a funeral, but with one more step, which is to let them calm down physically first.
Hershel did not agree at first and even refused decisively.
However, Hershel's determination to refuse was ultimately unable to overcome Carl's persistence.
Because of this, Hershel blushed for the first time, and the two of them almost had a quarrel.
Finally, Carl's words touched Hershel.
Even you are unwilling to accept the reality. Do you think Maggie and Beth can accept it? Are they willing to accept it? This is a very important experience for them, and it is also the fastest way to recognize the current situation.
Do you want them to live in a fantasy world? Do you know how dangerous the world is now? Do you think the farm is safe? If the farm is no longer safe and they refuse to face reality, how can you let them live?
Hershel compromised.
In fact, Carl didn't want Beth to go through this. In the original drama, Beth almost cut her wrists because of this.
But it is indeed an important experience that allows people to grow.
If Carl had an army of several hundred people now, Carl would protect Beth well and would not let her see anything ugly.
Let her live in the pure land at the end of the world, let her live in the paradise that has been created.
But Carl didn't. Carl was not sure who he could protect, and he didn't even have enough confidence in how long he could live.
So, in this situation, Carl must let Beth go through it. Only by going through it and getting through it can she become strong.
Obviously, Hershel had told everyone something, but Carl didn't know how much Hershel had said, whether he had said it without reservation or had left some room for doubt.
Carl walked up behind Beth, put the nuts on the table in front of her, and handed her the milk.
"We should drink some milk in the morning, and then we can go."
This time, Beth pushed Carl's hand away directly and then lay on the table. During the whole process, her eyes did not meet with Carl's.
The milk fell to the ground and the box was slightly deformed.
Although he didn't say anything, Carl knew that Beth was angry, very angry, and she knew what she was going to ask them to do.
Carl glanced at Hershel and smiled helplessly in his heart. Just talk about the matter, why give yourself away?
Picking up the milk on the ground, Carl took out the straw this time, inserted it, and handed it to Beth again.
"Drink some, don't waste it."
He ignored me and continued to lie there, not even pushing me away this time.
Carl maintained the posture of handing out the milk. Because of his shooting practice, Carl's hands were very steady.
"Beth." Maggie, who was sitting next to Beth, couldn't bear it anymore. She patted Beth's shoulder and said softly.
After a few seconds, when Beth still didn't respond, Carl withdrew his hand and brought the straw to his lips.
A few minutes passed, and the room was still very quiet, with only the sound of Carl sucking the milk.
Occasionally there would be some faint sobbing or heavy breathing.
After finishing the milk, Carl threw the box into the trash can, looked up at Hershel, and found that Hershel was also looking at him deeply.
Carl nodded slightly to Hershel and whispered, "Let's go."
Hershel closed his eyes, and after a few seconds he opened them again, stood up, patted the table lightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's time to go."
Otis stood up, followed by Jimmy, Patricia, Maggie, and only Beth remained lying on her stomach.
Hershel said in his calmest voice possible, "Beth, get up. You promised me that it's time to leave."
No one has ever disrespected Hershel's authority as the head of the family.
Beth didn't want to get up, but Maggie and Patricia helped Beth up. Maggie leaned close to Beth's ear and seemed to whisper something comforting.
But Karl couldn't hear clearly. Karl walked in front and stepped out of the door first.
Hershel led the others out one by one. They didn't walk fast, even slower than a stroll, and Carl didn't urge them.
But the barn is not far away, and we will get there no matter how slow we are.
arrive.
There were already quite a few people in the open space outside the barn, including Sean and his three companions, Andrea, Amy, and Lori.
Everyone at the farm came except Glenn, who was lying in bed, Dale, who was on sentry duty, and Carol and Sophia.
Since it is a viewing ceremony, the most basic audience is naturally indispensable.
As for Sophia, her words,
Because of the original drama, it was Carl who didn't let him come.
