Chapter 104: There Are People Before the Spirit
The moonlight was bright and frosty, covering the bluestone pavement, and the white lanterns hanging under the porch swayed in the wind, making the road to the mourning hall more and more obvious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shao Mingyuan ran all the way to the mourning hall, silently, and the black shadow followed.
The mourning hall was white, and as soon as it approached, the smell of burning paper faintly came.
Shao Mingyuan stopped suddenly.
The subordinates behind him stopped and whispered, "General, look-"
Shao Mingyuan raised his hand and motioned for him to be silenced.
The wind blew, blowing up the paper ashes in the brazier placed on the ground in front of the mourning hall, and the mothers-in-law who were guarding the spirit on the side fell asleep, letting the ashes fall on their bodies.
There was a person standing motionless in front of the mourning hall, and Shao Mingyuan's eyes fell on the person's face, and his expression was slightly condensed.
If the man didn't move, Shao Mingyuan didn't move.
The lantern hung high in front of the mourning hall, as bright as day, illuminating the expression on the man's face clearly.
In the shadows, the darkness was dim, covering the figure and breath of Shao Mingyuan and his subordinates.
Shao Mingyuan tilted his head and nodded at his subordinates.
The subordinates who had been following him understood, clasped their fists and saluted, and quietly retreated to the other subordinates who were secretly guarding the spirit hall, and made a silent gesture, and all of them retreated.
In front of the mourning hall, in addition to a few mothers-in-law who were snoring one after another, there were only two sober people left.
The wind blew, the white silk flowers that decorated the mourning hall squirmed, and a wisp of black ash swirled in the brazier and fell to Shao Mingyuan's feet.
The man finally moved.
He walked lightly to the coffin parked in the middle and stopped, and reached out and landed on the lid.
A cold light flashed in Shao Mingyuan's eyes, and he stared at the man's movements motionlessly.
The man kept that movement for a long time, until the candle flame was suddenly blown by the wind, flickering and dimming, and as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his hand to lift the lid of the coffin.
Shao Mingyuan acted like the wind, almost instantly in front of the man, grabbed his hand with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, and let the man struggle to the death to no avail, dragged it up and went directly to a remote place before stopping.
"Woo woo-" The man saw that it was Shao Mingyuan, and suddenly stopped struggling.
Shao Mingyuan let go of his hand and looked at him coldly.
The man was quite uncomfortable, and he shouted "Second Brother".
Shao Mingyuan's face was expressionless, and he asked lightly after a while: "Do you still know that I am your second brother?"
Shao Xiyuan lowered his head, raised it again after a while, and asked unconvinced, "What do you want to do with me?"
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, his skin is whiter and more tender than that of a girl, and even his unconvinced appearance looks so vigorous, as if there is nothing to be afraid of in this world.
Such ignorant courage is because no matter what trouble he causes, someone will always take care of the aftermath.
Shao Mingyuan's heart ached, and his voice was cold: "What are you doing here?"
Shao Xiyuan and Shao Mingyuan looked at each other, and after the initial panic of being caught red-handed, they became fearless, and their tone was with the usual provocation: "Didn't the second brother see it, I want to see the second sister-in-law." β
"Look at the second sister-in-law?" Shao Mingyuan asked word by word, and anger gradually blurred his eyes.
Whatever the reason, in the dead of night, his own brother ran into the mourning hall like a thief to peek at his deceased wife, which was by no means a pleasant feeling.
Shao Xiyuan was aroused by the rebellious mentality, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, what's wrong with the second sister-in-law? The second sister-in-law has always been very good to me, can I see if she can't do it?
Before the words fell, he was lifted up by Shao Mingyuan with the placket of his clothes.
"You want to see, why did the third watch come in the middle of the night?"
Shao Xiyuan's face turned red, and he patted Shao Mingyuan's hand angrily: "You let go! Shao Mingyuan, you dare to hit me?"
Shao Mingyuan's expression became even colder, but his tone was extremely calm, and he asked word by word: "Shao Xiyuan, what gave you the illusion that I didn't dare to beat you as a brother?"
After he finished speaking, he easily carried Shao Xiyuan and turned around, raised his long legs, and kicked Shao Xiyuan's ass directly.
Shao Xiyuan fell to the ground with a scream, struggled for a while before he got up in embarrassment, tears flowed out of his eyes, and he said while wiping: "Shao Mingyuan, you, do you really dare to beat me?
Shao Mingyuan stretched out his hand and dragged him over again, and said lightly, "Tell my mother?"
Shao Xiyuan lifted his chin.
What, scared, right?
Who knew that the brother who was more than half a head taller than him sneered, and without saying a word, kicked him in the ass again.
Shao Xiyuan was kicked to the ground again, and the pampered young master's buttocks were numb with pain, and he couldn't get up at all.
He was still ambitious, and knew that screaming in the dead of night was not a good thing, so he endured it and didn't make a sound.
Shao Mingyuan half-squatted down, stretched out his hand to pull Shao Xiyuan up, and looked at him.
"Shao Xiyuan, look at me. β
Shao Sangongzi, who had never been beaten up for such a big time, wanted to be hard and not overdo it, but the shadow of the butt beating just now had not passed, and he subconsciously looked into the cold eyes that were close at hand.
Shao Mingyuan raised his eyebrows lightly and asked coldly, "Shao Xiyuan, how old are you?"
"Fourteen years old, what's wrong?" Shao Xiyuan asked angrily and sneered, "Of course you don't remember this for a person like you who kills people every day." β
Shao Mingyuan ignored Shao Xiyuan's sarcasm, and said lightly: "Since you don't eat milk, you still have to find your mother if you are beaten?"
"You-" The self-esteem of a young man of this age is particularly strong, and when Shao Mingyuan asked him like this, Shao Xiyuan immediately blushed, and he was speechless all the time.
Shao Mingyuan let go of his hand, and his tone was lighter: "Okay, let's go back." β
He glanced at his younger brother deeply, and all his emotions were hidden in the cold star-like eyes: "I don't care what your reason is, remember, don't take it as an example." β
Although it was early summer, the young man standing opposite Shao Mingyuan felt that the moon was cold and sparse, and the hot pain in his butt made him lose the courage to talk back.
The young man thought to himself: The second brother is a demon who kills people without blinking, tonight the night is dark and the wind is high, if he comes hard, this devil may dig a pit and bury him, right?
Even the second sister-in-law can kill people, of course, there is nothing that can't be done!
Shao Xiyuan snorted, which was considered a response, and turned around and left.
Shao Mingyuan stood in place, not blocking or making a sound.
He silently watched as the boy walked some distance and stopped to turn back.
"Second brother, I don't care what kind of wife you marry in the future, anyway, in my heart, there is only one second sister-in-law!"
The wind was cold and the moon was cold, Shao Mingyuan sighed lightly, and said lightly: "It's good that you remember that she is your second sister-in-law!"
He was the first to turn and strode away, soon disappearing into the night.
Shao Xiyuan was stunned for a long time, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and limped away.
In the mourning hall, because of the faint screams just now, several mothers-in-law who were keeping vigil were instantly awakened, and they sat around burning paper money and gossiping.
"Generalβ" A few subordinates who were staring at this side from afar noticed Shao Mingyuan coming over and shouted in a low voice. (To be continued.) )
