Chapter 1269 Coward

• Aunt Shuang stumbled through the village, her movements unsteady. Whether by accident or design, she eventually made her way to the back mountain, where the entire village's ancestors were buried—including the Zi family.
• Tradition dictated that children who passed away young weren't interred in the ancestral tombs. However, Zi Yang had been exceptionally gifted and adored by the family patriarch, so an exception was made. His body was buried in the ancestral plot, though no tombstone was erected—he was deemed too young, and a headstone might hinder his reincarnation.
• Now, Aunt Shuang stood before the Zi family graves, muttering incoherently as her eyes roamed. Nearby, a small grave mound was unmistakably that of a child.
