Liu Yan'er helped divide the bowls of noodles at the table. The Xue family was full of coarse tea, bitter tea, and coarse noodles. Yun Jian Yun Shi praised it very tastefully.

On that day, they settled in Xue's house and stayed overnight. said that on the second day, Xue Bai went back to Jincheng Xie Mansion with Yunjian to have a look, and gave Xie Xiaohengling a mourning salute. Yun Shi temporarily rested in Xue's house and was served by Liu Yan'er.

Yun Shi didn't go back to Jincheng, because he was worried that there would be many old servants and maids in the Xie Mansion, and he was afraid that he would recognize Yun Shi.

The Xue family gave up the best bedding. Yun Jian knew that if he only managed to be humble, he would make them uneasy, so he took it. The Xue family hurriedly tidied up the bedding, and some people were still busy washing dishes in the kitchen. Yun Shi was accompanied by Liu Yan'er, walked outside, and looked at the field behind the Xue family, it was when the rice was ripe, the ears of grain were golden and heavy, but only half of them were good in color, and the other half was ruined by whom, and the stalks and ears of grain were still trampled in the mud. There is not much grain left, just scattered and scattered, and it is more and more pitiful. Some chickens forage there.

"When the Rong people left, they came to grab some grain, and those who couldn't be snatched were also bad, and they didn't want to leave it for us. The loss is to hurry up, and there is still half of it. In the past two days, there have been hands to pick out the ears of grain that can be picked out in the field that have been trampled on, for fear that they will rot in it. Liu Yan'er said to Yun Shi, "The other half will be harvested soon." ”

Yun Shi nodded.

Originally, the stems of the rice were also to be recovered, called straw, and some workshops would collect them to make paper. Who has the leisure now? It's still piled up in the field. When the other half of the grain has been harvested, set it on fire. Burn together to ashes, good fertilizer fields.

After talking about some farming matters, Yun Shi went back to the house and went to bed with Yun Jian and the others. The cover is really okay, Yun Jian is unsettled by himself, he had some chaotic dreams, he still woke up before dawn, and on a whim, he got up in his clothes and went outside. See the sky blue. There is still a faint moon hanging in the treetops. The air is cold and clean. A few autumn chrysanthemums on the edge of the fence have just hit the flowers, Yun Shi stands in front of the chrysanthemum, looking at the south, there is a green mountain. It looks like a screen cut of emerald stone. On the other side of the screen is Jincheng.

(Look up at your hometown.) Poor across the mountain. ）

Yun Shi heard Yun Jian. Turning around, he nodded at Yun Jian with a slight smile on his face. It's so light, like when the sun is far away, a little red shadow on the horizon only has a little meaning.

Yun Jian walked towards her, and Yun Shi bowed his head and said to Ju Qing: "Carefully choose three points of soil in the north courtyard, in order to solemnly plant the new chrysanthemum." Tao Ling holds the southeast ridge of Jin, and the stone lake holds the dew jade frost platform. ”

Yun Jian praised: "Your poems are better." ”

Yun Shi pursed her lips and said, "Let's go!" It's too bad before, read a little more books, and you will feel good. ”

Yun Jian just laughed, waiting for her to come down. For her second couplet, the battle is neat, knowing that it is the pattern of the poem, and there will be two more couplets to continue. Yun Shi said: "I can't continue, just wait for you." ”

Yun Jian said in a good voice, and continued: "I can't bear to sleep in the lonely garden, just wait for the Linglong threshold to open." There is a good autumn this year, and Huang Ying will definitely attract Ziying. ”

Yun Shi raised her head and took a long breath.

Liu Yan'er has already picked up the chess pieces. It's still the chess that comes with the cloud sword. As long as his bag allows, he must bring the piano, chess, pen and ink, otherwise, he will just carry a sword with him.

The chess pieces are green jade and white jade, and they are packed in a thin bamboo basket. The big chess box is staggered with black bamboo and golden silk bamboo, which is light and light, and it is a chessboard when it is unfolded.

There is a low table with tree roots in the courtyard. Liu Yan'er placed the chessboard on the table.

Yun Shi smiled: "This must have been added for you by the fourth sister." ”

Yun Jian said: "Why do you say this? ”

Yun Shi tilted her head and said, "I just know!" ”

Yun Jian said: "This time I guessed wrong. ”

Yun Shiqi asked, "Who is that?" "I thought about it for a while, but I was afraid that it was Wanliu who came in before his death. She didn't want to touch Yun Jian's sorrow, so she stopped, looked at Yun Jian first, and then said, "Honestly!" How many good girls have you known over the years! ”

Yun Jian leaned back with a smile: "What a good girl-Seventh Prince!" ”

Yun Shi thought about it, and also laughed behind his sleeve.

The two played against each other. Yun Jian pointed out otherwise: "Look here, in fact, Hui Feng is not afraid, I am good at covering the sky with one hand." ”

It was he who was afraid that he had wronged Yun Shi, suggesting that she could go back to Jincheng, even if people recognized her, he could shelter her. Yun Shi shook his head and said, "It's like not seeing each other." Where is not heaven and earth? "Cloud Sword is gone. After dawn, after breakfast, I said goodbye and went on the road.

Back in Jincheng, the squires there led the people and went ten miles out of the city to greet them. The vanguard even received Shangyun Sword twenty miles away. The heavyweights are also gathered at ten miles away. Stay within a mile of the city gate, the back will cover the road, if the financial resources allow, there will be a flag to cover the sky, this is not to mention.

The Xie Mansion has also been renovated. The old courtyard of Yunjian had been demolished and unusable, so he had to live in another place. This is also to blame for his excessive reputation, and the Xirong soldiers hate him and focus on cracking down on this Xie Mansion. So those who could escape fled, and the rest hid in the corners. Cloud Sword's courtyard was the most devastated. Later, after Xiao Xiahou came, he said that he had the ability to fight with real knives and guns, what kind of ability was it to lose his temper with Tuwa? Wasted effort! Therefore, it was not demolished again, but the Xie Mansion was requisitioned. Jasper and the rest of the people from the Xie Mansion all avoided outside.

Now that Yun Jian is back, it is still Biyu who presides over all kinds of affairs, and the ugly daughter-in-law must finally see her in-laws, choose a secluded time, take care of some housework, and finally say this You Wu thing. She has gone with Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Xiahou.

Jasper knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Yun Jian said: "At that time, the whole territory was occupied by the Rong people, how can I blame you." It's not easy for you to maintain these many people. Then he rewarded him, and gave another burden, saying, "The pearl is for you." ”

Jasper thanked her, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a muslin shirt and socks, a plain flower coat and skirt, a mille-feuille embroidered shoes, and a matching ribbon, a pair of plain jade rings for suspension, and a fat powder head, all of which fit her identity, and should be used at this time, which is not decent, but also not too dazzling. There is also a branch of ginseng, a branch of deer antler velvet, and a bottle of pearl powder.

This is Mingzhu knows that Jincheng has just recovered, and the materials are afraid of being in short supply, and Jasper is afraid that she will not be able to make up for it, although the local area will definitely flatter Xie Fu, and Jasper will not wronged herself, but I am afraid that the clothes and accessories are not so suitable for a while, and it is inconvenient for too valuable things to be taken by herself directly, so she is given this set of things, nourished inside, dressed up outside, and has it. Except for the pearl, there is no such thoughtfulness. This one package is better than a box of gold and silver.

Jasper compared her shoes to her feet. This set of clothes is nowhere to buy it now if you have money. She was extremely grateful, and hated again: how could this Nizi not come back!

For a while, Xie Mansion was full of waste, and Xie Xiaoheng set up a mourning hall, and the local celebrities were all proud to be able to come to pay tribute. After seven or seven days, I went to the cemetery to be buried with Mrs. Xie. The workers dug up the grave, saw something, and told Biyu that they knew, and Biyu didn't dare to hide it, and returned to Yunjian, but the coffin of the old lady Xie was gone. There were only a few rotten pieces of wood left, and they were still there, and they were not stolen by others, but dissolved by themselves. It's also a pity that Xie Xiaoheng didn't let the coffin accompany the funeral, and he didn't even let her bring her in, and the clothes were just Taoist robes. At that time, there was a lot of rumor, and everyone knew about it, so no one robbed the tomb. This coffin is good, how can it be so fast? But it's strange.

Yun Jian didn't believe it, and came to see it in person, saying that it was a good wood that would not rot for thousands of years, but it was really rotten in this short time, and even the old lady's body had already turned into mud. He called the connoisseur to ask. The connoisseur was also puzzled, and he said a few nonsense words, and Yun Jian also knew that it was hard. I can't help it. There were new trees growing next to the tomb, but they were growing faster than the trees elsewhere. It can be seen that it does not mean that feng shui is bad. Xie Xiaoheng's coffin was sealed in the tomb like this. The wind blew, and the trees here, together with the trees in the cemetery of the petty officials behind the mountain, rustled and shook their branches and leaves.

There is a man who died here to protect this land. In fact, his power is very small, but his wish is also very small: he just wants to be reduced to dirt here with someone.

And so his wish was granted.

At the time of their lives, humans had their own set of rules regarding marriage. After death, there is another set of rules for dirt and mountains.

A long, long time ago, Jincheng was a wilderness, and it was rumored that there were mountain ghosts on the mountain.

Yes, it's not the mountain gods, but the mountain ghosts, who rule the place.

The mountain ghost is a beautiful girl, naked, and sits on a big cat with colorful fur. The vines are her canopy, and the herbs are her bedding. When some young man was dying of illness, the people lit a fire in the middle of the night, put him by the fire, sang songs, and offered him to the mountain ghosts. Then they left and came back after dawn, maybe the young man was really gone.

Wild beasts are afraid of fire. The only ones who can take away young people are mountain ghosts. She accepted the life that would die but not die. From then on, they and they were all by her side, like her, unbridled with smooth and sweet skin, hugging the fur of tigers and leopards among the mountains, coming and going like the wind, forever young, never to live again, never to die again.

Old people can't run with mountain ghosts. When they died, they were buried in the mountains. The mountain ghosts will give them rest.

The breath of the mountain ghost can make all plants thrive. Her sighs can also make the hard woods rot into dirt and dust.

That's an ancient legend.

There are no mountain ghosts anymore. There are not even tigers and leopards anymore.

Only the newborn branches and leaves, still gently shaken.

When the little servant outside is in a hurry to report an important news, Jasper is watching the servants plant new flowers and trees and hang lanterns.

It's going to be the Ancestor Worship Day soon. This festival is combined with the major event of Xie Xiaoheng's funeral, and Xie Fu plans to organize it, so that everyone can come out of the war and be lively. (To be continued......)
