After the first month, Wu Dayong still had no news, Yudong begged Zhou Ming's side, and Zhou Ming quickly heard some news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter Wu Dayong left Jianchang County, he met several Jianghu people in a town on the other side of Yanshan. Since then, there has been no further news.
Yudong asked people to send the news to the martial arts.
Wuju people personally brought their eldest son to the Wangfu Grange to thank Zhou Ming, but was stopped by Ding Sanye, only saying that the eldest prince and Zhou Shizi were not at home, and told Wuju people that Zhou Shizi would take care of this matter because he was entrusted by Yan Dalang.
Wu Juren said goodbye in a sneering manner, and let people send a generous gift to the Yan family.
Ding Sanye didn't lie to him, Li Chengyun and Zhou Ming were really not at home, they accompanied Tang Hezhang and went to Yan Tao's grave to pay respects.
Tang Hezhang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he saw that Yan Tao's tomb was simply written on Yan Tao's tombstone.
It turned out that the Tang family and the Yan family were both Qingzhou people close to Shuzhong.
Tang Hezhang and Yan Tao have been teaching the same teacher since childhood, and they were admitted to Xiucai in the same year, and they were promoted in the same year. The two of them were ambitious and went to Beijing to take the exam, but they didn't expect to return home.
"That year, the name fell to Sun Mountain, not long after returning to his hometown, your great-grandfather passed away, and the next year your great-grandmother passed away, your grandfather kept filial piety at home, and concentrated on teaching your uncle Yan Zhao to study and take care of the family business. Your uncle had good luck in the exam, but he went all the way, and finally won the Jinshi and stayed in Beijing to become a Beijing official. ”
"When I went to the capital to give a lecture later, I met your grandfather, and at that time, your father was only three years old, and he was younger than you are now. Yan Tao touched Yuliang's head and recalled, "Later, I heard that something happened to your uncle, so I didn't have any news of your grandfather." Unexpectedly, he moved to Dongping Village with his family. ”
"Sir, is there anyone else in my grandfather's family in Qingzhou?" Yudong inquired when he heard that his ancestral home was in Qingzhou.
"The Yan family seems to have moved to Qingzhou, your grandfather is a brother of your uncle, when Yan Zhao went to Beijing, your grandfather also sold the house in Qingzhou, and settled down in Beijing, and there was no one in Qingzhou. ”
He sighed a few words, "Xiaosi looks almost exactly the same as your grandfather when he was a child. ”
"My father also said that Xiao Si is like Ah Gong, and I look like him. Yudong recalled that Yan Qingshan also said the same thing.
"Your grandfather will be glad to know that you are all so sensible. Tang Hezhang chattered in front of Yan Tao's grave, "Ah Tao, I have a fate with your little grandson, and I have accepted him as my closed disciple, don't worry, I will definitely teach him well." ”
As he spoke, he poured three glasses of water and wine at the grave.
Yudong burned paper money on the side.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the paper ash droplets swirled around, and a few pieces circled around the corners of Tang Hezhang's clothes.
Li Chengyun was afraid of the cold wind in the mountains, so he persuaded Tang Hezhang to go back on the side.
"Okay, anyway, I'll have to stay here for a while, I'm not afraid I won't have time to catch up with you. Tang Hezhang accepted his sadness, patted Yan Tao's tombstone and said jokingly, turned around and went down the mountain.
"Brother, you accompany Mr. and they go back first, I'm here watching Mars. Yuxiu is afraid that the paper ash has not yet melted, and if it is blown by the wind and touches the dry branches and dead leaves, it is very easy to cause a mountain fire, so she will stay at the end.
Yan Qingjiang and Yushu didn't come at home, Yudong agreed, and led the way first, Tang Hezhang pulled Yuliang, and Xiaobei pushed Li Chengyun first. Zhou Ming took Luo Ping to the end.
Yan Tao's grave will sweep the tomb and add soil every year during the Qingming and winter solstices, and the grave is already very high.
Yuxiu saw that there were weeds on the side of the grave and began to entangle the vines, so she simply pulled out some grass, and when she went around the back of the grave, she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but sigh.
In the group, Zhou Ming was at the end, his ears were also pointed, and when he heard Yuxiu's voice, he turned his head and walked back.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Look, Prince!" Yuxiu pointed to the grass by the grave and whispered, "Look at these grass stalks. ”
At this time, it is the time when everything recovers and the warbler flies and the grass grows.
In the area that Yuxiu was referring to, there was a patch of wild grass growing, but a few rice plants and small flying canopies were lying on the ground, and the stems were broken from the middle.
These two weeds are very common, with stems as small as the thickness of a little finger, and they are behind the mound, so they cannot be broken by the wind.
Zhou Ming took a look, Yan Tao's grave was halfway up the North Mountain, and there was only a mountain road that the villagers had stepped on to cut firewood led to this side.
There wasn't much anyone passing by.
"The little flying tents that grow here don't like to eat the cattle and sheep, and no one will come here to herd the cattle and sheep. Yuxiu said softly.
The mountain wind gusted, blowing the branches and leaves of the mountain forest, making a whooshing sound, and for a while, it made people feel a little chilled.
Yuxiu couldn't help but clench her fists, those people, staring at Ah Gong's grave?
"Luo Ping, take a look. Zhou Ming called Luo Ping and commanded.
Yuxiu hurriedly stepped aside, Luo Ping squatted down to look at the place, and walked along there to the back of the grave, not far behind the grave was the dense forest in the mountains, overgrown with shrubs, and I didn't know what was behind in the thick green cover.
"You go to the front, go back with them. Zhou Ming looked at Yuxiu's clenched hands, he was still a child in the end, so he would be afraid. He softly asked Yuxiu to go first.
Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, she wanted to stay here and watch it with her own eyes, but after thinking about it again, she didn't know martial arts, if there was someone hiding behind her, she couldn't help when she fought, but instead added to the chaos, nodded and responded, "I'll go back and call a few people, you guys be careful." ”
"No need to ......"
"I won't come back to make trouble, I'll let Xiaobei and a few of them come back. ”
The words in Zhou Ming's mouth were blocked by Yuxiu, watching Yuxiu pick up the basket and walk forward quickly without looking back, he felt a little bad in his heart, and he always felt ...... Just say be careful, go so fast?
Yuxiu didn't know Zhou Ming's entanglement, there were several turns in this mountain road, and there were bushes and dwarf trees on the left and right. Yudong: They can't see anyone anymore, they should have turned a corner.
She had to hurry up and catch up with them.
Yuxiu took a few steps forward, and just after walking a corner, she felt that she heard a strange sound.
People like her, who often go up the mountain, are familiar with the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and the sound of rustling in the bushes behind her is certainly not blown by the wind.
There, there must be someone!
The place where she was standing at this time was closer to Zhou Ming and them, but if she wanted to go back, it was equivalent to walking through the bushes that made a sound.
If there are people who want to catch themselves, they must want to wait for themselves to go farther before they come out to do it.
Yuxiu pinched the basket, looked for it in the basket with one hand, pretended to turn around and walk back inadvertently, and shouted in her mouth, "Hey, wine jug, bring it back!"
Her voice was so loud that Zhou Ming and Luo Ping could definitely hear it, and she only hoped that if there was really someone behind the bushes, she could delay for a while.
Unfortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, two black shadows jumped out of the bushes and rushed towards her.
