Chapter Seventy-Three, The First Enemy in Life 2
Tonight's twilight moon is destined to be a place where no one can sleep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Nangong Yufeng, Duan San, and Qi Yu sat quietly in the living room outside Xi Cui's room, not daring to make a sound, for fear of waking Xi Cui up. They would rather Xi Cui just fall asleep all the time, and it is better to wake up and forget everything.
Huan Huanxi has been waiting by the side, and Rui Niang has settled down and the child has also come over.
Lao family!
The hearts of the three men were all hard to engrave these two words.
Duan San thought about Xi Yunjian, such a heroic young man in his prime, but he ended up committing suicide, he remembered Xi Yunjian's heroic posture in front of him, remembered the two of them drinking and talking freely, remembered his life-saving grace, and once told him. But I can't even protect a woman, **** stays by her side but never thinks that she still has a family......
Qi Yu's mind was very confused, and what happened to Xi Cui's family completely disrupted all his plans these days. He was worried that Xi Cui would change like his previous self and become unscrupulous. is even more afraid that she will be defeated and will collapse from then on. He conceived of every possible outcome, and thought of solutions, but one was more terrible than the other, and one more irreparable.
Nangong Yufeng felt that he was waiting, waiting for Xi Cui to wake up, but he didn't know why he was waiting, but he didn't know what else to do except wait for him. His mind was full of Xi Cui's face, silent, smiling, and angry, except that there was no tearful appearance, and he suddenly found that he didn't know how Xi Cui would cry, and he didn't know what to do if she cried. A sense of powerlessness, every time he encounters something about Xi Cui, he will always have this sense of powerlessness...... But I can't do it, and I don't care about it.
When Xi Cui woke up, he was facing the red and swollen eyes of joy and tears, knowing that they would be like this because of himself, but Xi Cui didn't want to speak, didn't want to say a word.
She didn't ask why she came back here, nor did she ask what happened later, she just got up quietly, sat in the bronze mirror and took care of her makeup. Painted rouge, bit the lip gloss, inserted the beaded hairpin, and put on the wide-sleeved tunic Shu embroidered fairy skirt sent by the Jinyi Pavilion recently.
Huan Huanxi was frightened, Xi Cui in the middle of the night actually groomed in the mirror and dressed up, but she didn't say a word, and there was no expression on her face, it couldn't be hysteria, right?
Seeing that Xi Cui was about to go out, Huan Huanxi hurriedly went up to stop her, Rui Niang grabbed in front of them to separate them from Xi Cui, and whispered, "She can do what she wants, let's just watch and don't hurt her." Rui Niang had experienced the same pain, she felt the same way, and she also knew that no matter what others did at this time, it would be useless, unless Xi Cui was willing to face the reality.
Xi Cui walked to the main hall, didn't look at the three men, and walked straight out the door.
"Where are you going at this time?" Nangong Yufeng grabbed Xi Cui's hand, and the cold touch made him frightened.
"Yizhuang." Xi Cui's footsteps were forced to stop, but his eyes were looking ahead, and he moved his lips to say these two words. If it weren't for the sound of it, no one would have thought that she had just made a sound.
"Do you want to see them?" Nangong Yufeng softened his voice, wanting to dissuade him, "It's already midnight, let's go early tomorrow morning, okay?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just going to see them tonight, stay with them, and I'll pick them up tomorrow." Scenery funeral! Xi Cui just wanted to move the corners of his mouth, but he didn't expect that the habit he had cultivated over the years had become instinctive. She just tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her face smiled to herself.
Nangong Yufeng looked at the smile on her face, and his chest twitched. Gripping her cold hand and pulling her into his arms, he wanted to give her warmth and let her lean on, but Xi Cui just pushed him away.
"It's good to ask Duan San to follow me, you all go back. If you really want to help, come back tomorrow, I haven't had a real funeral......" After speaking, she continued to walk in the direction of Yizhuang, while Duan San followed step by step.
Qi Yu returned to Qi Mansion, and his parents had been waiting for news from him. Seeing Qi Yu coming back, the two hurriedly caught up, "How is it?" Any news? ”
Qi Yu looked at the Liu clan and sighed, "Tomorrow, Niang should go and worship in person, Xi Cui said that she would take their corpses back to the twilight moon tomorrow." ”
After Qi Yu finished speaking, he entered his room, leaving the Liu family on his back and almost fainting.
Nangong Yufeng didn't go back, he waited for Xi Cui to walk for a while and then followed silently. Although Duan San could feel it, he didn't say anything, in Duan San's opinion, Nangong Yufeng should have been like this, everything was caused by him.
There are not many corpses parked in Yizhuang, and the old man who guards has already fallen asleep in his class room, and when Xi Cui and they passed, the old man didn't even know.
Duan San lit the candles, and with the light, Xi Cui soon saw their corpses. Because the corpses of the younger siblings were so obvious, covered with a white cloth, and the place under the white cloth that was supported by the body was so small that it could not even occupy half of the morgue bed.
Xi Cui's feet were weak and he almost fell, so he could only be helped by Duan San to approach the four beds placed next to each other. The white cloth was uncovered one by one, and the faces of the people inside had turned black, but their faces were still clearly visible. Looking at the familiar faces that he hadn't seen for a long time, and now that this appearance appeared in front of him, Xi Cui's tears burst out of his eyes again.
The younger brother was found lying on his stomach, and the main wound was on the back of his head, so he put his body on his side, and the blood and mud stained on his face were not very clean. Xi Cui's tears dripped on his face, and Xi Cui hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, only to realize that the shadow on his face was not an illusion of light, but dirt.
The unexplained anger made Xi Cui's hands tremble, and she turned her head to look at Duan San, "Little brother still has dirt on his face!" How could they treat my little brother like that! ”
Duan San hurriedly turned around and went out to find a basin of water, brought clean water in, put it in Xi Cui's hand, and then retreated to a long distance to continue watching.
Xi Cui didn't say thank you, she directly threw the handkerchief in the water, got wet, and carefully wiped the child's face clean little by little. After wiping her face, she checked her hands carefully, even between her fingernails, and although the child's hands were not dirty, she still wiped them for a long time......
After cleaning up for her brother for a long time, she reluctantly let go of him and came to her sister's side. My sister's face was very clean, and even her hair was not messy, so she searched carefully and found that there were no wounds on her body. Xi Cui touched her sister's nose like crazy, and then touched her chest, as if expecting a miracle to happen, and her sister might not die. But Duan Sanfen clearly saw her intentions, walked over in three or two steps, and put the candle in front of Xi Cui's eyes, so that she could see the scar on her sister's neck. "She had her neck broken......"
Xi Cui's hand covered her mouth, but her mouth bit her fingers hard, and she didn't know how to let go until there was blood. Twisted neck, she looked at the child's neck, so thin, like her own arm. How did they get their hands on it?
Daddy's body was covered with sword scars, and the finished skin was no longer visible. Xi Cui resisted the urge to vomit and wrapped the bodies of the two.
Then she took a few steps back, stood not far from their morgue, and knelt down, the corners of her mouth still stained with blood, she must have bitten her finger just now. The light of the candle was reflected in her dark eyes, as if it was absorbed, and no light could be reflected, and Xi Cui's face was still as silent as ice. "Dad, mother, little sister, little brother, you go well......"
I have to admit that it was the first time in Xi Cui's life that he had such a strong hatred for a person. She has always been a very realistic person, she plans carefully every step she takes, and she can't talk about intrigue calculations, but she still does it all by seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Xi Yunjian's death, because of the Lao family, although she was sad, but more pity, after all, Xi Yunjian was such a good person. Although she was frightened when Huai'an Hou had an accident, she was more distressed, distressed for her wife, distressed for Yun Ting, and worried about how Yun Ting should be implicated. Mama Wu's death, she can be regarded as having a relatively strong feeling, because they are both slaves, and it is difficult for her not to think of herself when she sees Mama Wu dying in vain. So she was angry and unwilling, but even at that time, she didn't hate anyone, she just hated Wang Li's family, at most, she felt extremely disgusted when she mentioned this person.
But at this moment, she really felt hatred, because now she just looked at the relatives in front of her, she had a bloodthirsty impulse, she wanted to kill Lao Xuefen with her own hands. I want to inflict all the pain of my family on her, twist her neck, smash the back of her head, and cut her with a thousand knives!
She felt she had to do it, or she wouldn't be able to face her loved ones who had died in vain. And she only thinks like this so that she will not continue to indulge in useless sadness, which will be the most important thing to continue to live. She wants to protect the people around her and never let this happen again, and those who try to hurt or have hurt her loved ones, she wants them to pay!
She knelt like this, Xiao Yi felt the excitement in her heart, and cautiously appeared beside her, kneeling with her, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak at this time, she could only kneel carefully while paying attention to Xi Cui's mood. He didn't want Xi Cui to become a person with nothing but hatred, but he didn't know how to comfort her. After all, he is still just a child, even if he is smarter than other children, he is only a child, and the nature of children makes him afraid of the dark things in the adult world.
Although Xi Cui closed her eyes, she also felt Xiao Zhi's appearance, she knew that Xiao Zhi could see everything in her heart clearly, and she also knew that she was now herself, Xiao Zhi would definitely dissuade her, but she knew that no matter who said anything at this moment, she would not waver.
Xiao Yu stayed with her for a while, and finally spoke, "I know I can't persuade you at all now, and I don't plan to let you swallow your anger in this matter." No one can bear such a deep hatred, and I can see the bitterness in your heart. But that doesn't mean I'm going to approve of your unscrupulous revenge. Master Huineng said that you are the person I have been looking for for many years, and I hope that the person who is destined for me is a truly respectable and amazing woman. In my current opinion, if you can still stick to our agreement after what you have experienced now, you are a great woman in my eyes! ”
He finished and departed, as quietly as he had come.
The agreement at that time? Xi Cui began to think about it, they seemed to have made an agreement before, "never hurt an innocent person", she remembered that when she first left the mansion, Xiao Yi seemed to have made such a request, and she agreed. She actually didn't care if she was a great person in Xiao Yu's heart, but she was willing to abide by what she had said before. Because this is the principle of life that her father taught her.
When the day dawned, none of the three of them noticed. Xi Cui knelt like that for a night, Duan San was inside, and Nangong Yufeng was outside, and the two of them stayed with them for a night.
The old man who was guarding Yizhuang got up and was a little surprised to see someone coming so early. But seeing that Nangong Yufeng is not dressed like an ordinary person, he moved his lips and finally felt that more things are better than less things, seeing that this master doesn't seem to be in a good mood, he still doesn't mess with it less.
When he went inside, he realized that it was not only the one outside.
Seeing Xi Cui kneeling in front of the four corpses he brought back yesterday, he probably guessed Xi Cui's identity. To be honest, even a person like him, who is used to seeing corpses, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he first saw that family of four, so who could be a young child with that black hand? Seeing that Xi Cui was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he couldn't bear it, so he walked over with an incense burner, put it in front of Xi Cui, and handed her a few sticks of incense, "Child, light it." As long as those who come to me can wait for their relatives to come to me, I will serve them the incense I have prepared, which is their creation. There are few people who come to me who can stand the incense lit by their relatives......"
Xi Cui thanked the old man, held the incense in both hands and kowtowed a few times, and inserted it in the incense burner.
After kneeling all night, he had already lost sensation in his legs and feet, and Xi Cui wanted to get up but found that he couldn't move at all. Duan San hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Xi Cui was supported by Duan San and sat on the wooden bench on the side, watching the old man cover the white cloth piece by piece, "Old man, can you know when the people from the official mansion to inspect the corpse usually come?" ”
"Why didn't you come from the government? They checked it yesterday and said it was a robbery, and a case has been filed. The corpse has also been examined, and according to the rules, you can go to the government and go through the formalities to get the corpse away. The old man saw that Xi Cui seemed to have been kneeling for a long time, and it was poor that Xi Cui had suffered such a thing at such a young age, so he couldn't help but want to say a few more words, "Child, listen to the old man's words, and quickly bring your family back for burial." Don't think about urging the government to find a real murderer to avenge something, there will be several robbery and murder cases like this every year, and in the end they all become headless public cases. You're too young to put yourself in it anymore. If you want to open a little, let them go to their womb and enter their reincarnation, and you have to continue to live your own life! Yes! ”
Xi Cui knew that he was kind, so he only smiled and nodded.
Duan San saw that her face had softened a lot, so he asked, "Why don't I go to the official mansion for a trip, and we will bring them back today." ”
Xi Cui shook his head, "You won't go to the official mansion, isn't Nangong Yufeng outside?" Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask him to go? You go and buy me a few good coffins, find a few more powerful men, and when Nangong Yufeng comes back from the official office, we will take them back. ”
"Good ......" Duan San waited for her to finish explaining, and went out to find Nangong Yufeng. Both of them left Yizhuang.
Before they came back, Qi Yu's family came. They brought a few wagons, and early in the morning the coffin shop had not yet opened, so they thought that they would use the carriage to pull people back first, and then enter the coffin shop when it opened. For now, they can only do something to make up for it, although this is only a drop in the bucket.
Liu Shi slowly walked to Xi Cui's side in black and apologized in a low voice, this was the first time she spoke to Xi Cui in such a low voice, who knew that Xi Cui glared at her coldly, and flicked her sleeves and walked away from her.
Liu Shi stood back beside Father Qi stupidly, lowered his head and blushed, not wanting to stay here for a moment.
Qi Yu wanted to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Xi Cui in front, "I know what you want to say, but I don't want to hear it." At this time, I don't want to see any of you in this place, and I don't want to hear any of your voices! Take your stuff and disappear right now before my eyes! ”
Qi Yu finally couldn't say the three words sorry.
When Nangong Yufeng came back, he took a few officials from the government and met the Qi family who were about to leave. Qi Yu saw the salute and left, Nangong Yufeng didn't care, but the servants who followed him were interested. He seems to have heard the name Qi Yu mentioned by some scholars, this person has just participated in this year's Spring Festival, but he is a popular candidate for the top three. Why did such a person come to Yizhuang in person, who was the family that died? These people are not simple people! It seems that I have to tell the master when I go back, this case can't be as perfunctory as an ordinary case, and those who can solve the case have to be solved as soon as possible.
After a while, Duan San also came, bought four coffins, and brought eight men carrying coffins.
At this time, the officials did not agree, and said that they would come by themselves, so they insisted that someone take the eight men away. The officials put the body back in the coffin, and took the initiative to lift the coffin and leave, as if they were afraid that others would not let them carry it.
Of course, Xi Cui knew that they were looking at Nangong Yufeng's face, and he didn't refuse. After all, if the people below want to climb up, they must use some means, so there is no harm to themselves, what can she do if she fulfills them?
A few officials walked down the street carrying the coffin, and it was inevitable that they would be a little high-profile. Although it was still early, there were no people on the street, but after people shouted like this, there were really many people who ran out to see the excitement, and soon the streets were surrounded on both sides.
Xi Cui walked beside the coffin, and walked over from a distance, a man and a woman, and the direction they came from should have just returned from the twilight moon. (To be continued.) )
