Chapter 822: Chapter 825: It’s All Up to Fate
But what of it if things were the same again? His Yin Yinyue was the only one for him, and after her death, he would never have another love in his life.
By the time he came to his senses, the little girl had already placed the flower on the ground.
She was very afraid, and ultimately didn’t dare to hand the flower over to them.
Xuan San suddenly said, "Thank you. In the coming days, you and your family should not drink unboiled water, nor should you have contact with other households, otherwise, you will die. Do you understand?"
He told her only this much; the rest would be up to her fate.
The little girl glanced at Xuan San timidly, then turned on her heels and ran away.
Both of these people were strange, speaking in an eerie way that scared her half to death!
But no matter whether what this man said was true or false, she had to hurry back and tell her parents about it.
She wanted her family to always be together; she would be heartbroken without any of them.
Xuan Er bent down to pick up the flower and handed it to Xuan San; he actually saw an emotion called gentleness in Xuan San’s eyes.
What he found even harder to believe was that his younger brother actually showed such an expression toward a five- or six-year-old girl.
Had Xuan San changed his preferences, to now favor this tender youth?
That would be better, at least better than brooding over a dead person all day long.
Xuan San took a deep breath, "A person always has something they care about; otherwise, what’s the point of living?"
The person he cared about had died, but he would always care about her.
The appearance of the little girl was just an interlude; it changed nothing.
As per their original plan, Xuan Er and Xuan San captured some animals and forcibly fed them the medicine mixed with blood.
After finishing these tasks, they rode away on their horses, coming to a fork in the road where Xuan San paused.
All had been arranged here; it was time for him to do what he had to do.
He would have someone else deliver the weapons; he would find a place where no one could find him and watch coldly as they struggled in despair and slowly moved toward death.
"Second Brother, I need to procure some weapons. You should go back first and tell our brothers not to go out carelessly during this time," Xuan San said indifferently, ensuring that Xuan Er would not perceive anything amiss.
Xuan Er was worried, "It will be at least a month before the plague breaks out; let’s go back first. Then, I will accompany you, so we can take care of each other."
With the plague, the roads would never be peaceful.
"Now is a critical time for Xuan Eagle Mountain Village; we need someone in charge here. Stop arguing with me," Xuan San urged.
His second brother bore the weight of the entire Xuan Eagle Mountain Village on his shoulders. After his death, his second brother would have to live on.
At least one of the Xuan Family’s Three Brothers had to survive until the end because the legacy of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village must continue.
Only then did Xuan Er agree: "Then you must be careful on your own. Take good care of yourself out there. I’ll be waiting for you to come back."
"I know," Xuan San replied, then mounted his horse.
Xuan Er silently watched Xuan San’s retreating figure, knowing that his brother’s heart was still tormented, that he still blamed himself for not rescuing Yin Yinyue in time.
Only when their great vengeance was avenged would he find release.
Thus, he indulged all of his brother’s actions, hoping only for his happiness.
All other sins, he would bear alone.
It was only when Xuan San’s figure disappeared at the end of the road that Xuan Er rode off in another direction.
If he had known this was their last farewell, he would have followed at any cost.
Returning to the temporary shelter in the village, Xuan Er instructed everyone on what to do next; all he had to do was wait for the right opportunity to make his move.
