Chapter 86: The Cave Skeleton (10)

The sake was spilled on the ground, leaving a wet trail on the ground. Mingyue was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss. She took a slight step back, slammed into the stool behind her, and almost didn't fall. Fortunately, Su Yun opened her eyes quickly and held her up, so she settled down.

Mrs. Su also reached out to hold her hand, almost crying, "It's our mistake, we shouldn't have left you there, even if your grandfather doesn't want to go with our Su family, we should leave you behind and take good care of you." Your Uncle Su was degraded to Jinguan City that year, and was watched, and it was inconvenient to visit you because of the long distance. When we returned to Jiangzhou the next year and went to look for you, we found that you had already moved away. Presumably, your grandfather didn't want to stay in that sad place anymore, and was afraid of touching the scene, so he took you elsewhere. ”

Su Yunkai was still holding Mingyue's waist, he felt that Mingyue had remembered something, otherwise he wouldn't have been asking what was going on for so long. He suddenly remembered something, "When I was a child, the benefactor that my father and mother often mentioned to me were Mingyue's parents?" ”

Mrs. Su burst into tears and trembled, "Yes, back then, your father was demoted to Jinguan City as a small official, and was intercepted by bandits on the way to his post, and those bandits demanded their lives for money, and we waited for an opportunity to escape, but they chased and killed. On the way to escape, a young couple happened to pass by, desperately rescued each other, and drove away the robbers. Seriously wounded, we were taken to town by passers-by, and when we woke up, the doctor told me that the two benefactors had died from their injuries. ”

Su Gu said, "Our injuries have healed a little, we inquired about the couple's residence, brought money and things, and saw your grandfather and you." But your grandfather doesn't want anything, we want to take your grandfather and grandson away and treat them like relatives in the future, but your grandfather doesn't want to. Later, because I was going to take up my post, I couldn't disobey the holy decree, so I planned to go back to you after I settled down in Jinguan City. But the next year passed, and you moved away. I searched for someone, but I was looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Mingyue knew about this when she was very young, but she didn't know that her parents died because she was saving people, thinking that she was killed by bandits. Later, her grandfather took her to Nanle County, settled there, and lived there for thirteen years, except for sweeping the tomb every year, she would not go back on weekdays.

Grandpa didn't want to, and she didn't want to, just because it was where her father and mother had lived, and when she went back, but no one was there, what was there to go back.

She didn't say anything, tears were streaming down her face, and she couldn't stand. Su Yunkai was already completely standing behind her, giving her the strength to stand firm. He didn't expect that the benefactor that his parents had remembered for fourteen years was Mingyue's father. I didn't expect that Mingyue, who moved to Nanle County with his grandfather the next year, had already met him when he went to find the Ming family with his father and mother from Jiangzhou. This passed by, and it was missed for more than ten years.

It turned out that it was not he who saved Mingyue thirteen years ago, but Mingyue's father and mother who saved his father and mother, so they met that year.

Mingyue couldn't stop crying, her face had sleeves to wipe her tears, she raised her head slightly, looked at the man next to her with teary eyes, and was so choked that she couldn't speak.

After Su Gu finished saying those words, there was not a drop of sake left in the wine bottle in his hand. He lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down to kowtow to her, so shocked that Mingyue came back to his senses, and stretched out his hand to hold him, "Uncle Su, if my father and mother knew that I had suffered this kneeling, Jiuquan would not be at ease." After the robber was caught, I asked my uncle to inquire, and the man had done all kinds of evil and had many lives on his hands, but the magistrate's inaction led to the robbers being at large for many years. The uncle said that if it weren't for the supervision of an adult surnamed Su several times later, the robbers would not have been caught, and the magistrate would not have vigorously rectified it. Daddy and mother have spirits in the sky, and they will definitely be happy to know this. My dad is a puppet, although it's just a puppet, but he likes peace and prosperity. He once said that even if he couldn't eat this bowl of rice one day, he would be happy. ”

Speaking of the past, it was already a lot sad, Su Gu and the young couple did not have a deep friendship, and even just met in Pingshui, but when they heard the last few words, they felt that if they had survived at the beginning, they would have been able to become confidants and friends, instead of reminiscing about the old people here, regretting and sighing.

Mrs. Su also held her husband and said, "How will you kneel and let her be good in the future?" ”

Su Gu was puzzled, Mrs. Su sighed lightly, and made her words clear, "You forgot, she and Yunkai are destined for each other, they are each other's lovers, kneeling down with their daughter-in-law, it is unreasonable, and gratitude is remembered in their hearts, and it is not bad for this knee-high gratitude." ”

Su Gu only then remembered, so he didn't insist. However, Mingyue was so bluntly defaulted to the daughter-in-law of the Su family, and she was a little uncomfortable. It's just that Mrs. Su is right, she and Su Yunkai are fated, and the Su family and the Ming family are also fateful.

Father and mother may not have imagined that more than ten years later, the couple they saved back then would one day become their family.

After eating this meal for a long time, Su Gu and Mrs. Su said a lot to Mingyue, because when they inquired earlier, they already knew that she had entered Beijing alone and lived outside, and they were already urging the two to get married. They wanted to take Mingyue to the Su family as soon as possible, not only to be the daughter-in-law of the Su family, but also to better compensate her. It's just that they are in a hurry about the marriage, and they don't want to be wronged Mingyue, and finally said, "First take your grandfather to Kaifeng, explain to him, and then choose an auspicious day for the zodiac together, and then take care of it. ”

Waiting for Mingyue to come out of the Su family, she sat in the carriage and said to Su Yunkai, "Actually...... Don't be too glamorous, the Su family has been honest for generations, don't be ostentatious. ”

Su Yunkai smiled warmly, "The Su family has received a lot of rewards over the years, and it is not enough to attract people to get married lively. He knew that Mingyue's heart must be full of feelings tonight, but he couldn't leave her at home, facing her day and night. He felt ashamed and held her hand in his palm, "Mingyue...... From now on, I'll take care of you. ”

Mingyue looked at the person in front of her, nodded slightly, and said, "Brother Su, I don't know if I can tell your father and mother about Shuishui, so I didn't say anything just now." It's just that I want to wait for the water matter to be resolved, and then talk about marriage. ”

"I understand, and I think the same way." Su Yunkai gently grabbed her body and pulled it into his chest, "I'll tell you something about what happened in the past two days, so that you don't panic when you hear any rumors." ”

Mingyue paused and motioned to the coachman. Su Yunkai said, "It's okay. ”

Mingyue understood, and estimated that the coachman was his confidant, no wonder he was specially called to catch the car at Su's house just now, and Mrs. Su also muttered that a good coachman is not needed, and he has to have a nursing home. But it's good to read the martial arts of the nursing home, it's so late, it's good to have a nursing home around that can catch the car, so I didn't stop it.

Su Yunkai told her about Pingxi Hou's private hiding of money and Bai Shui's fraudulent death, and she heard Mingyue's heart go up and down, as if listening to a play. When he said it, his voice was low, and Mingyue could hear the depression and heaviness in his words - after all, the other party was the powerful Pingxi Hou.

"Phew—" The coachman grabbed the reins and stopped the horse.

Su Yunkai raised the curtain vigilantly and looked out, the coachman clenched the horsewhip in his hand, tilted his head and whispered, "Someone is following us." ”

"Who?"

"I can't see clearly, my martial arts are very good, and I've been following for a long time." The coachman thought about the occasional shadow he could see along the way, and said, "You should be very small." ”

Su Yunkai paused slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said, "You go first, go farther, and you can hear a little movement." ”

Without further ado, the coachman took the order and left. Su Yunkai turned around and stretched out his hand towards the carriage, took Mingyue down, and pulled her into the dark alley, only then looked in the direction that the coachman pointed out just now.

Mingyue saw him looking at the empty alley opposite, and didn't know what he was looking at, "Brother Su? ”

"It should be an old man."

The two waited for a while, and then they saw a man come out of the alley. The man's figure was indeed small, and he wore a veil on his head, and he could not see his face. But Mingyue still recognized the person at a glance, and she was busy covering her mouth after listening to a death-for-life drama, and didn't shout the name that had been shouted thousands of times.

The man was very vigilant, and looked left and right many times in just a few steps before finally walking in front of them, "My lord, Mingyue." ”

Mingyue stepped forward and hugged her, and she really felt a sigh of the rest of her life after the disaster, "Shuishui." ”

As soon as she hugged her, Bai Shui couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, and gently inhaled a few breaths of cold air in pain. Mingyue hurriedly let go of her, only to find that the clothes she was wearing were uneven in some places, as if they were wrapped in a lot of gauze. Her heart was cold, "Shuishui, are you injured?" ”

Bai Shui smiled at her, his bloodless face was pale with a smile, "The other party is so powerful, I'm just a little injured, and I'm already very blessed." ”

Su Yunkai asked, "After you arrived at the villa, there were really people in ambush there?" ”

"Yes, I almost died at his hands, but I can't." When Bai Shui said this, even Mingyue sensed the resoluteness and the smell of blood inside, "The fire in the villa is very big, I waited for a day, it burned almost before I went in, but I didn't find any useful clues, I just found this, maybe it's a clue, maybe it's not." ”

The voice was lonely and self-blame for thinking that he was useless, Su Yunkai listened to it in his ear and patted her on the shoulder, "You did a good job, Bai Shui." ”

He took it and found it to be a plank.

This piece of wood is a pear blossom wood, which is mostly used to make tables and chairs because of its strong and beautiful appearance. Judging by the shape, it doesn't look like it.

Xu was related to the villa and Pingxihou, and he thought of many things connected to him for a moment, but this thought reminded of something he was not sure about, "Mingyue, when the gold embezzlement case was made, what kind of wood was the box that transported the vase?" ”

Mingyue thought for a long time and said, "It seems to be a pear blossom tree." ”

Su Yun frowned again, Bai Shui had turned the wooden board over, pointed to the little recess on it, and said, "My lord, I am strange about these things, I don't know what they are. 166 Reading Network
