Shi Gui was full of joy, the wind and waves were strong in July, and it was not easy to sail, although he was looking forward to Shi Daddy's coming, but he was afraid that he would come, it was better to take the silver An Ansheng to do some small business, really save money, and it was not too late to redeem her.

But when I heard that he was coming, I couldn't wait to fly to the door, I couldn't have wings under my armpits, but my legs and feet were strong, and I didn't care if I was under the shade of the tree, so I ran to the door, thinking about the stone father again, he ran for half a year, and I didn't know what it looked like to be black and thin.

While feeling distressed and happy, he ran out like a gust of wind in the corridor, the sun was shining on his face, beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, Shi Gui's sweat was not wiped before he stepped on the threshold, and he saw a black and thin man leaning against the door, with a long grass leaf in his mouth, and saw Shi Gui coming, and smiled at her with his legs.

Shi Gui was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was a relative, who knew that it would be Mingyue, his footsteps were only paused, standing in the courtyard, Mingyue laughed at her, and threw out the long grass in his mouth, and slowly floated towards the place where Shi Gui was standing.

She blinked, it wasn't Daddy Shi, she was always a little disappointed in her heart, but she was also happy to see Mingyue, she smiled again, walked over quickly, and gasped: "You didn't just leave, why did you come back again?"

Mingyue didn't wear a robe this time, she wore a short shirt, her sleeves were rolled up high, her arms looked thin, but she already had strength, her waist was loosely entangled, she was sweaty, and the shoes on her feet were new.

He has always been uncertain, and he is extremely clever, Shi Gui is not worried that he will be deceived by others, but it has not been four months since he came and went, and he had made up his mind before that he would go to Yanjing as a senior brother, and now he is back again, Shi Gui looked at him, but he was a little afraid to ask.

How do you know that Mingyue said generously: "I'll come back to do my father's funeral." ”

Shi Gui was stunned when he heard this: "Have you found your father?" Thinking about it again, he said that he had found it, but it was not good news, and he frowned slightly and looked at Mingyue.

Mingyue watched her run all the way, her face was full of beads of sweat, and she didn't know how to wipe it, her peach pink cheeks were lined with beads of sweat, her eyes were shining and looking at him, and there was still something in her eyes that she couldn't understand and make people ashamed, her eyes were wandering for a while, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, Shi Guiben was touching his sadness, pulled him, sighed, and asked him softly: "Where did you inquire about your father?"

If he said that someone had found it, Shi Gui would have to mention that he was afraid that someone would deceive him, but everyone was already dead, and what else could not be deceived, it would not be a funeral money.

Mingyue sat down on the stone steps, Shi Gui also rolled up her skirt and sat beside him, only then did she feel hot, and she smoked herself hot in a mouthful of heat, and hurriedly sent the little maid to help buy two bowls of iced tea, who knew that Mingyue had already given it, and bought two Ou'er sour plum juice, one Ou'er gave it to Shi Gui, and one Ou'er drank it himself, and drank more than half of it in one sip.

Shi Gui waited for him to say, and he let out a long breath first: "It's still icy, and the lower belly is refreshing, if only the wine also had ice." Shi Gui stretched out his hand and patted him: "How old are you to eat and drink." ”

Mingyue was still smiling when she was beaten, and she snorted in her mouth: "Who is a soldier who doesn't eat alcohol." ”

Shi Gui was confused, it was clear that he was a Taoist priest, why did he become a soldier again, without waiting for her to ask, Mingyue scratched her head: "When I left, I followed Wu Qianhu's boat, I heard people say that Lord Wu was an official who was promoted because of the suppression of the water bandits, first a hundred households, followed by a thousand households, I just thought about it, ask him about my father." ”

Mingyue's father said that he died on the water and became a lonely ghost, and his body was not found, and he didn't know which piece of water he fell in, so he called the fish and shrimp to eat it.

These Mingyue never said it, only said that his father came out to sell goods, the goods were gone, the people were gone, the family still owed the goods, and his mother remarried, Shi Gui took pity on him, and when he heard him, he bit his lip, and stared at his face with a pair of eyes, although he didn't care about it, he had a flat mouth and red eyes.

Shi Gui gave him half of the sour plum soup in his hand, he took another bite, and slid into his stomach coldly, feeling better in his heart, pulling his sleeves to wipe his sweat: "I only remember the years, what goods are sold and which waterway they go, I don't know at all, I only know that they are coming to Jinling, how do I know that when I ask, Lord Wu still remembers it seriously." ”

The case of Wu Qianhu's promotion, the years and months are all right, and many living people were indeed saved at that time, but even if some were persecuted, they also entered the water bandits, where will these strong men be left, those who refuse to join the gang will be thrown into the river, and those who are willing to join the gang will become thieves and prisoners.

Wu Qianhu was young and vigorous at that time, this case was handled very seriously, and many details in it can still be remembered, not only did he ask the right person, but he couldn't sue him, he gave him a post, asked him to go back to Jinling, took his own name post to the yamen to read the case file, and the water bandits confessed on it, but there was Mingyue's father.

This is good, if you have killed people in the water, then it is the same case, although you are persecuted, you are also killed, or you are in the army or distributed, the mountains and rivers are far away, where do you know if you are alive or not.

This matter should have ended here, but Wu Qianhu's wife summoned him in, looking at him as a big child, before he could say a word, tears flowed down, and told him that his family had also been subjected to water bandits.

If there are corpses, then the imperial court has collected them, dug a big pit and buried them, if there is no corpse, then go to the river to sacrifice a sacrifice, throw down the river rice dumplings, and it will be considered to be full of heart.

How many years have passed, not to mention that the body is soaked, and the fish have long been eaten up, and I said this to him, but in order to make him feel better, I also felt that he could find his father thousands of miles at a young age, and praised him as a loving and righteous person.

Where is Mingyue affectionate and righteous, half of it is also because there is nowhere to go, both can come to Jinling, just mix together, come and don't want to leave, eat this praise is not counted, Wu Qianhu's wife also gave him two sets of clothes, and sent some money out, so that he can go back to Jinling, it is best to find people, if unfortunately it is gone, he will use this money to bury his father well.

Shi Gui heard this and sighed: "This lady is a good person." "It is not necessarily a true and good person who spends money to set off flames to help wild souls, and it is much better to be able to help these things once than to burn incense on weekdays.

Saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Mingyue's face, and wanted to ask him, had he ever checked the case file, Mingyue leaned back, not leaning or supporting, and her legs shook: "I checked, the person would have died a long time ago." ”

It is the person killed by the water bandits, the big merchant still stays, and wants to ask the family for redemption money, such a peddler, even the goods brought by people are not worth much, and those who are young and strong and willing to join the gang are also repaid, and it is also a disaster to refuse to join the gang and stay, and throw it into the heart of the river, unless the dragon prince is merciful, people will not be able to live if they fall into the heart of the river.

He even did the funeral, the rich and noble people did the funeral, and there were a lot of funeral obituaries, and he had to read the sacrificial texts to set off the flames before he could move the grave for burial.

How can the poor family have so much exquisiteness, and there is nowhere to find the body, let alone invite Mr. Yin and Yang to come to the point to see feng shui, just grab a handful of soil in the pit where the court buried people, buy a set of clothes, and then set up a wooden sign, the ligeven is written by Mingyue herself, send a glass of water and wine, light a pillar of incense, and then press two strings of paper money to offer some fresh fruits, even if it is a decent funeral.

Mingyue didn't say one thing else, his father loved to eat fish in front of him, and he died in the river, so he couldn't say that he still ate fish, thinking about buying a good fish, and asked the store to clean it up, put the fish on the grave, and learn from the way his father was still alive, picked out the fish eyes, put them aside, and when the incense was burned, he ate the fish eyes on one side.

Most of the money given by Wu Qianhu's lady was spent on buying fish, and at this time she didn't even have enough money to go back, but she didn't think about getting the money back for Shi Gui, he could eat anywhere, if her father didn't come, she would have to have some money.

Shi Gui sighed: "You have also found a result." ”

Mingyue shook her head: "Don't say anything else, Lord Wu always avenged me, none of the water bandits in the same case could escape, and one of the first slashed him, and the old elder had a scar on his face." ”

said that it was a scar, and he made a comparison, and the scar was almost on the eyes, which looked extremely terrifying, but on the lips was an infinitely yearning tone, Shi Gui immediately felt it: "You don't want to be a Taoist priest and want to be a soldier, just to follow Master Wu?"

Mingyue grinned and nodded: "I was impatient to chant the scriptures, I also learned a set of knives on the boat, and I will show you." As he spoke, he casually broke off a branch and got up.

Shi Gui knows this, he only knows that others are flexible, and he is very light between movements, and then he thinks about it when he is young, he follows Song Lao Immortal to practice qi, although he is sloppy, in the end, he can be regarded as a hard worker, it is not effortless to go up the tree or the wall, and it is good to be willing to take the right path.

As for the side, I can't see it at this time, Mingyue has finished a whole set of rules and regulations, although she doesn't pant for breath, she sweats profusely, the back of her clothes is wet again, she throws the long branch, and then sits down next to Shi Gui, raising her eyebrows and looking at her.

Shi Gui knew that he was waiting for a compliment, and thought about it: "The one you originally learned is so useful." ”

Mingyue also knew that she didn't understand, and she didn't expect her to say anything, so she nodded: "Lord Wu also read it, saying that my body is not suitable for sword practice, and it would be better if I learned the sword." ”

But the sword is light and fluttering, the sword is much more martial arts, and after he finished talking about himself, he asked Shi Guilai again: "You are not born on August 15, is your father here?"

Shi Gui shook his head: "How can there be a certain standard for sailing, and I don't know where he is at this moment." Thinking of Mingyue's father, I was even more worried, and I wrote back to persuade that it was too risky to run a boat, all I earned was hard-earned money, and my father was injured, if I didn't raise it well, what would I do when I was old.

Mingyue comforted her: "In a few days, he may not be able to come, you wait, if he doesn't come, I will also give you a birthday." "Shi Gui's birthday in the old year was spent with Mingyue, and at that time he was still in the Tongxian Temple on the mountain, and there were fireworks to watch, and there were pine cones to eat, and Mingyue remembered this prison.

Shi Gui chuckled: "Okay, when you come, I'll share your longevity noodles to eat." ”

Mingyue turned around to leave, but Shi Gui also chased back: "Where are you going?" and asked him where he rested at night, Mingyue shook her head: "Go to the view." ”

Naturally, Shi Gui was stunned: "Aren't you not a Taoist priest?"

Mingyue smiled: "They don't know that I'm inappropriate, there are still ten days until your birthday, I will find a place to settle down and get close to my senior brother." "It's best to sell some more talismans, and think about putting a decent gift for Shi Gui.

Shi Gui laughed with a "flutter", covered his mouth with his sleeves, his eyes were bent, Mingyue's ears were hot, he glanced at her, turned around and left, the appearance of the real road, he didn't learn the appearance of the Taoist master's swinging sleeves, but hunched his waist, his two arms were bent, and he was clearly a thin young man, so he had to pretend to be a tiger's back.

The smile on Shi Gui's face couldn't be stopped, he leaned on the door and watched him walk away, Mingyue never looked back, and when he walked to the mouth of the alley, he glanced back with his eyes, but he didn't see Shi Gui's face, only to see the corner of her pale purple silk skirt, and the tassel on a goose-yellow belt, the corner of her mouth grinned, and she smiled.
