Chapter Ninety-Two: Trouble
Today is an important day for Hu Dazhuang's burial, Shu Min got up early in the morning, took Hu Liu'er and Hu Yang'er's two sisters and brothers to Yizhuang.
I have to say that the service of the coffin shop is very good, wreaths, paper money, ingots, candles, and incense offerings are fully prepared, and the work in the store is pretended to be a funeral person, wailing all the way, although the scene is small, it is also very spectacular.
In the past two days, Hu Liuer's sister and brother had calmed down a little, but at this moment, they were still crying with their father's rank, and they were dead and alive.
I don't know if the cry of the brother and sister moved God, and it rained lightly in the sky.
Shumin's location for Hu Dazhuang is a feng shui place in the suburbs that is close to the mountains and water, and according to the coffin shop, this land is prosperous for future generations.
The whole funeral was very simple, it was completed in half a day, and the brother and sister knelt down in front of the grave for a long time before getting up and leaving.
Shu Min did not participate in the whole process, and it was not until the end of the funeral that Shu Min lit incense, bowed to Hu Dazhuang seriously, and promised that if he would treat the two children as his own and raise them to grow up, I hope he will not worry.
After experiencing the rebirth of the soul and the last time he saw ghosts in Liuxi Village, Shumin believes that there are ghosts in this world.
At noon, the rain gradually became heavier, and Shumin didn't bring rain gear when he went out, so he had to find a restaurant in the town to shelter from the rain.
It seemed that the rain was going to fall for a long time, so Shumin ordered a few side dishes and took the two children to solve the lunch problem.
A sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the pegasus galloped, splashing all the way.
In the rain, in an alley, a thin young man turned pale. After many days of being hunted and evaded, he suffered a lot of wounds, and under the rain wash, those wounds that had been briefly treated erupted again, and blood overflowed, staining his clothes red.
"Heaven is going to kill me!" He looked at the gray sky unwillingly, and his eyes were blood-red because of anger.
The sound of horses' hooves seemed to be getting closer, and he seemed to hear the sound of death approaching. The sound of horses' hooves is urging!
Desperately, he bothered his body and walked down the middle of nowhere. At the end of the alley, a family appeared. He was overjoyed and knocked on the door, but unfortunately he was too badly injured and did not wait for his master to answer the door. And he had fallen.
Because it's raining. Chunquan didn't go out. Continue to study Shumin's manuscript paper at home. Suddenly, he heard an intermittent knock on the door, and his brows furrowed slightly: he thought to himself that this was a secret residence of the master, who could it be?
He didn't dare to be careless. I climbed over the wall and went around the front door, and I saw a man covered in blood fainting in front of the door.
He stepped forward to probe, and there was a faint sound of breathing, so he looked around, and when he was sure that there was no one, he picked up the man and flew into the courtyard gate again.
This man is about twenty years old, although he is thin, but he is a practitioner.
Chunquan took off his soaked clothes and found that he had multiple knife wounds on his body, and the deepest one could even be seen to the bone. Chunquan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took the wound medicine to help him re-bandage.
"Bang dang." A jade plaque fell. Chunquan picked it up and looked at it, and it was warm and moist, and at first glance, it was not an ordinary jade.
The jade plaque is engraved with words on both sides, the front is engraved with the word "yellow", and the back is engraved with the word "white horse".
"Could it be that he is from the White Horse Battalion under General Huang?" Chunquan had heard his master say that the most loyal general of the Apocalypse Country was General Huang who had been stationed on the frontier for decades, and the White Horse Battalion, the pioneer battalion under General Huang, was the strongest assault force of the Apocalypse, but hadn't they been stationed on the frontier all the time? How could he appear in Linjiang Town with a serious injury?
Looking at the dying man on the couch, Chun Quan faintly felt that the matter was serious, and he had to report it to the master immediately.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the three of them were trapped in this small restaurant. Hu Liu'er looked at the heavier and heavier rain outside, and said with a sad face, "Auntie, I'm afraid this rain can't stop." ”
Shumin was also a little annoyed by this rain, but she was open-minded by nature, so she asked Xiao Er to add another pot of tea and called some melons and fruits over.
"Then let's sit full, eating melons and fruits and drinking tea. Look at how good our location is. Leaning against the window, you can also see the scenery outside. Shumin said.
As he was talking, there was another sound of horses' hooves outside, and this time there were actually four or five horses, all of whom were wearing black cloaks, and they all gathered next to the small restaurant.
"Guest officer? Eat or drink tea? Looking at the momentum of these people, Xiao'er didn't care about the heavy rain and hurriedly went out.
"Eat!" One of them said coldly, the voice was even colder than the winter rain. Xiao'er didn't dare to slack off, and greeted them to the elegant seat on the second floor.
The black-robed man at the head swept the eyes of the two of them, and inadvertently glanced at everyone on the second floor, and people only felt a chill behind them, and a few timid people immediately got up and ran to the side to sit down with the others.
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly when he saw it, and had no choice but to step forward and say, "A few guest officers, it's raining heavily outside, you can give your coat to Xiao'er, and let him take it to the back to help a few people dry." ”
"No need, serve your good wine and food, be quick!" The black-robed man at the head said coldly.
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper didn't dare to say much, and immediately ordered Xiao'er to hurry up and greet him with good wine and food.
"Wait!" The black-robed man at the head suddenly said, "What suspicious characters have you seen recently?" ”
He took out a portrait from his bosom, on which was painted a young man, with good facial features, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a rare beautiful man. I don't know how this painting paper was made, and such a heavy rain didn't even make the painting on it melt.
"I haven't seen it." The shopkeeper smiled, "I really haven't seen it." ”
"Okay, you go down." He didn't doubt the shopkeeper's words, they chased and killed all the way, and according to the time, the man entered the city not much earlier than them.
These people also chose a window position, just opposite Shumin and them. Liu Er was frightened and moved towards Shumin's side. Shumin patted her little hand and motioned for her to relax.
She could see that these people were likely from the government. I'm arresting court secrets and the like.
Since it's a person from the government, it shouldn't be messing around. So instead she drank tea calmly.
The black-clothed man led by him saw that she was a woman with such a bearing, and couldn't help but look at her twice, and saw that she was dressed as a peasant woman, and he was even more curious.
He stood up, walked around Shumin's side, raised his hand and raised the portrait in his hand, and asked, "Have you ever seen the person in the painting?" ”
"I've never seen it." Shumin replied.
"If you do, you can come here to me. This is a felony in the imperial court, and there is a reward for reporting. The last sentence was not only for Shumin, but also for everyone in the store.
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, it seems that these officials are going to live in their own shop.
"Can you tell him what crime he has committed? I saw that he had good features, and he didn't look like a traitor. ”
Shumin asked curiously.
The black-robed man's face turned cold, and he stared at her fiercely for a long time before he said, "The court is confidential, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." So as not to get into trouble! ”
He was a well-intentioned warning, but everyone felt it was a naked threat.
Shu Min stopped talking, peeled a handful of peanuts and handed them to Yang Er. Yang Er was still young, and she grabbed peanuts and ate them with a clattering sound, very happy.
The wine and food soon came up, and the people ate silently, one bite of rice, one bite of food, and everyone was the same. The man in black at the head also poured a glass of wine and drank it quietly.
There was another sound of horses' hooves, and a man in black entered the store, he went straight to the second floor, saluted the man in black and said, "Lost." ”
The man in black at the head was expressionless and said, "I can't lose it." ”
Turning his head to look at the rain, his eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate the densely intertwined torrential rain, so that Yiqiē had nothing to hide in his eyes.
The new man in black didn't say a word, sat down and picked up a bowl and ate it, regardless of whether the bowl had been used or not.
The rain was too heavy, and there was a dying person on the bed, so Chunquan had to give up the idea of going to the master immediately. He took the man's clothes to the backyard, burned them clean, boiled rice soup, and poured him down, whether he was unconscious or not.
Maybe it was because of the original foundation, coupled with the wound medicine left by the beard, the man's breathing slowly stabilized. It seems that as long as he can wake up, he should be fine.
Solving a troublesome matter, Chunquan went to study his manuscript paper again. He doesn't understand the affairs of the court, so he will leave it to the master to deal with it when the time comes.
"Today is the day of Hu Dazhuang's burial, Shumin and the others must have entered the city, but the rain is so heavy, are they drenched in the rain?"
Thinking of this, Chunquan's heart was in turmoil again. What if it rains? She has a child, what if she gets sick? Thinking of this, he couldn't stay any longer, so he found a rain gear and went out in the heavy rain.
If it rains, they should find a nearby restaurant to take shelter from the rain, and the nearest restaurant nearby is Taibaiju. Chunquan didn't think about it and walked towards Taibaiju.
Shu Min was really there, and from a distance, he saw Shu Min and the three of them sitting by the window on the upper floor of Taibai Ju, eating melons and fruits and drinking tea, waiting for the rain to stop.
Seeing that they were not drenched in the rain, he finally relaxed, and when he was hesitating whether to go up to say hello, he found that at the table next to them were four or five men in black robes.
That dress, Chunquan also talked about it, it was the dress of the royal private army. The royal private army was subordinate to the Son of Heaven, and the commander Zhao Deyi was the right-hand man of Huangpu Ji'an, the son of heaven. It is said that this son of heaven is extremely suspicious, and Zhao Deyi is one of the few people he trusts.
"Is their appearance related to General Huang's White Horse Battalion?" Chunquan felt as if he was in big trouble.
"You have to inform the master quickly." Chunquan immediately turned around and went to the Drunken Wind Building.
The bearded man has been away from Linjiang Town for nearly two months, and he once said that if there is an emergency, he can go to the drunken wind building to find a shopkeeper. There is a special way of contact between them. (To be continued.) )
