Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 30
Two months later, Song Miaomiao was washing green onions by the stream with her back leaning on a big rock, when she suddenly heard several disciples discussing at one go.
“I heard that the Master is going to send Senior Brother Ling to wipe out the Demon Sect’s lair.”
“That’s right, Master is paying more attention to Senior Brother Ling now.”
“Senior Brother Ling is going to replace Senior Brother Fang.”
“Senior Brother Fang is Master’s most capable disciple, how could he be replaced?”
“Master naturally values him, but how can he compare with Brother Ling? Haven’t you seen the way Senior Sister Yuan treats Brother Ling? Brother Ling is probably going to become the Master’s son-in-law.”
“Senior Brother Fang is really pitiful…”
“…”
Song Miaomiao waited for the group of people to leave before she dared to poke her head out from behind the boulder. It seemed that Ling Qianyi’s name was being mentioned more. She was a little flustered. According to her own plot, it was at the time he was falsely accused of colluding with the Demon Sect and was expelled from the Wanshan Sect. That was when he met the Princess of the Demon Sect.
At that time, she only wrote until that point because she spent all her time on the street, writing on a single computer. The more she wrote, the more she lost her passion. Eventually, she just sent the manuscript she had in hand and then abandoned it. The manuscript might be placed with other authors and can only be regarded as an outline with very brief content. She wasn’t in the mood to write anyway
Song Miaomiao returned to the kitchen with the green onions. After lunch, Song Chaowang came to say to her, “Sister, I won’t be in the Wanshan Sect during this time. You have to take good care of yourself.”
Song Miaomiao wrote, “Are you going down the mountain?”
Song Chaowang nodded and said, “Yes, Master is going to lead his disciples to wipe out the Demon Sect’s lair. The Demon Sect’s disciples are becoming more rampant, and they even massacred a whole city. Fortunately, Junior Brother Ling has been to the Demon Sect and knows some of the Demon Sect’s lair. With him around, he is more sure about the internal situation.”
Massacre? Song Miaomiao paused, and then wrote, “All the disciples are going?”
Song Chaowang said, “No, only two-thirds of the disciples from the inner sect will go, and the rest will be led by Junior Sister Yuan to take care of the Wanshan sect. The disciples from the outer sect have assembled 8,000 elite troops, plus 2,000 elite men from the Jianghu Sectd. The Imperial Court also sent 20,000 soldiers and horses.”
Song Miaomiao wrote, “Brother, be careful all the way on this trip. I’ll be waiting for your safe return.”
Since Ling Qianyi was entrusted with work by the leader Yuan Buluo, he was too busy. Therefore, he didn’t have time to say goodbye to Song Miaomiao, so he met her before leaving.
The more Ling Qianyi was given work, the more panicked Song Miaomiao became. She only said a few things in a hurry.
Ling Qianyi was slandered and accused of colluding with the Demon Sect when he was most commended. She didn’t write the specific plot. What would happen?
Seeing Song Miaomiao’s expression, Ling Qianyi thought she was worried about him, so he comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Song Miaomiao nodded. She should be happy as the plot developed. The faster the plot progressed, the sooner she could leave the novel world and return to the real world. After all, life in ancient times was much more boring than the real world, and as a woman of the modern world, she did not have the intention to help in the kitchen every day.
Song Miaomiao packed some dried meat for him and Song Chaowang, and sent them down the mountain.
———————————
A month later, Song Miaomiao was washing dishes in the kitchen, anxiously awaiting the devastating news that would shatter the tranquility of the entire sect.
Yuan Buluo, the head of the Wanshan sect, and her brother Song Chaowang were poisoned and killed by Ling Qianyi, a traitor who had surrendered to the Demon Sect. Ling Qianyi was nowhere to be found.
The coffins bearing Yuan Buluo and Song Chaowang were transported back to the main hall, which was now filled with mourning disciples. The atmosphere was heavy, and the sorrowful cries of the disciples reverberated through the hall.
Upon seeing Song Chaowang’s lifeless body in the main hall, Song Miaomiao was in a daze, falling limply to the ground. It seemed impossible; how could her brother be gone? After all, they had spent seven years together, and in such a span, one might develop deep emotions even toward a stone, let alone a fellow human being.
The anticipated plot of Ling Qianyi’s expulsion from the Wanshan Sect had unfolded, but Song Miaomiao couldn’t comprehend the circumstances. Why was her brother involved, and who was responsible for his death?
Her legs felt powerless, as if something had been ripped away from her. She almost crawled to the side of Song Chaowang’s lifeless body, holding his cold hand, unable to stem the flow of tears.
Why did it have to end like this? Who was the person behind her brother’s untimely demise? He could have lived peacefully in the world within the novel forever. Why did he have to become cannon fodder for this tragic plot?
Senior Brother Fang supported Yuan Buluo’s coffin and mourned alongside Song Miaomiao. “Junior Sister Song, you can mourn.”
