Chapter 373: Howling Without Tears
Schubert was the patriarch of the Lawrence family after all, and his body could not be left exposed in the wilderness after he died like this.
At least we have to dig a hole and bury it, right?
The young Lawrence men who were pulling carts were overjoyed to see this.
On the one hand, they were happy because they finally didn't have to drag this burden around with them.
On the other hand, they began to shout, saying that the patriarch was dead and he had to be buried no matter what?
And the one who died was the clan leader, so we should hold a memorial service after burial, right?
So, we can't go any further, we have to stop here.
Well, it’s great to be able to rest while pausing.
Tsk, this map of Yan State is a bit long.
Isn't it just that you want to stop and rest for a while during the burial and memorial ceremony?
How far have we come? You want to rest already?
The knights guarding them looked back and saw the vaguely visible city of Mondstadt, and they couldn't help but sigh.
We had only walked such a short distance, and the Lawrence family had already caused such a thing.
How long would it take to exile them all?
This task is indeed not difficult, but it is quite troublesome.
Although the knights saw through their little tricks in their hearts, they were reluctant to expose them.
Because burial and memorial services are normal human behaviors, they cannot object.
Just like that, under the supervision of the surrounding knights and the shouts of those young Lawrence men, all the members of the Lawrence family rushed over.
Looking at Schubert who died on the cart, the tribesmen began to express their condolences with tears and shouts.
but……
The knights saw clearly that these people only howled, without tears.
Tsk, the knights can’t comment.
After howling for a while, under the increasingly cold gazes of the knights, the Lawrence family began to discuss how to bury Schubert.
How else could he be buried? I thought this was the old days? Could he get Schubert a nice coffin and bury him in a grand ceremony?
Don't joke like that.
Due to limited conditions, tight time and heavy tasks, we could only dig a hole around and pile up some soil to bury it!
The Lawrence family reached this consensus.
Then, new problems arise.
Who will dig the grave? Who will carry the body? Who will bury it?
Faced with these questions, the Lawrence people gathered around the cart fell silent.
They looked at Schubert, who was already surrounded by flies, and no one spoke.
They had walked so far and were so tired that they all wanted to take this opportunity to rest. No one wanted to work.
In the silence, the members of the Lawrence family looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.
The knight who was watching all this was almost laughing out of anger!
They looked at Schubert, who had a fly landed on his nose on the cart, and felt a little sorry for him.
In the end, it was one of the frail elders of the Lawrence family who stood up.
He coughed a few times, pointed at the young Lawrence men who had just pulled the cart, and told them to be good people and dig a hole to bury Schubert.
When these young people heard this, their eyes widened, and they shook their heads like rattles, with resistance written all over their bodies.
And the reason they gave was very sufficient. They had been pulling the car in relay for such a long time and were already tired!
Therefore, they argued that they should not be responsible for burying the patriarch.
When the elder of the Lawrence family heard this, he was a little bit unable to refute it.
Under normal circumstances, he would have scolded and ordered these juniors by virtue of his status as an elder!
But the situation is not good now. He is old and in poor health. If he wants to get out of Mond alive, he can only rely on the young tribesmen.
Otherwise, the current Schubert, or what he would be in the future, would not dare to force these young people.
Then, the scene fell into silence again, and many members of the Lawrence family surrounded Schubert's body, looking at each other in confusion.
Finally, the knights guarding them could no longer bear it.
The sun was so strong in the sky, and Schubert's body would soon start to stink if it was left exposed to the sun. We had to deal with it quickly.
So the knights shouted and ordered the young men to dig a hole and bury it quickly!
When these young people heard that this job fell on their heads, they expressed their dissatisfaction and said that they still needed to rest!
As a result... he was whipped a few times by the knights.
The young men immediately became obedient, took their tools and started digging holes, working hard.
They look honest and seem to be obedient, but in fact they are full of resentment in their hearts.
Moreover, this resentment was not directed at the knights, but at the elder of the Lawrence family who had just spoken.
In their opinion, the reason why this job still fell on them was because of the suggestion made by the elder just now, right?
If it weren't for this old man's chatterbox, they would have been able to rest long ago. There would be no need to be exhausted all day long!
Damn it, they’ll remember this old bastard!
There are still many opportunities on the road to exile. Don't let them seize the opportunity, otherwise...
While digging the pit, these young men of the Lawrence family had a dark and vicious desire for revenge in their hearts.
How to evaluate it?
The Lawrence family really deserved it.
You see, this is the character of the Lawrence family.
On the road to exile, they were oppressed and forced by the knights. What they resented was not the knights who oppressed and forced them, but their own people!
With this kind of mentality, they deserve to be exiled! They are not wronged at all for suffering such a result!
In short, the pit was dug not long after.
It was these young men who dragged Schubert's body over. They didn't use a coffin or a straw mat to wrap it. They just threw it into the pit and started to bury it.
The knights guarding the area were simply unable to bear watching this.
Forget it, they were too lazy to say anything. At least Schubert was laid to rest.
Uh...it seems like I can't even rest in peace in the ground.
Oh, why bother with so much! I can’t care so much!
Maintaining a helpless mood, the knights continued to watch coldly.
By the way, the other members of the Lawrence family also watched coldly, watching the small earthen grave grow higher and higher.
Finally, Schubert was buried.
Members of the Lawrence family came to the hastily erected grave and pretended to mourn for a while, which was considered a simple memorial service.
By the way, no matter whether it was a memorial service or mourning, no one shed tears, they were all wailing and acting.
And...just hold a memorial service, but these people keep holding it endlessly.
The knights guarding them could tell at a glance that this group of Lawrence were trying to stall for time.
The longer the time goes, the longer they can stay, and the longer they stay, the longer they can rest!
So the knights didn't hold back and started whipping the men with their whips!
The people of the Lawrence family were beaten and screamed.
They were forced and driven, like a herd of cattle, horses and sheep, and had no choice but to continue on the road of exile.
