Chapter 41: Night Thoughts

When the night was deep, Mrs. Xie, who had been sitting in the room for a long time, picked up the paper in front of her.

The handwriting on the paper had dried, and it was full of two sheets of paper, densely packed under the lamp.

Old Madam Xie looked at it for a moment, these scriptures had been firmly remembered in her heart, she raised her hand and threw the two pieces of paper into the brazier on the side, a burst of smoke rose, and the paper slowly turned into ashes.

The door opened, and Mrs. Xie, who had been standing at the entrance of the courtyard and had been looking in, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahsan." He shouted, but without Old Madam Xie's permission, he never took a step forward.

Old Madam Xie walked out slowly.

"Hungry or not? Do you want to eat now? Old Lady Xie asked in a loud voice.

Old Madam Xie ignored him and called out.

The servant woman on the side hurriedly responded.

"Prepare for this, all the miners injured in the mine this time will be sent to the city for treatment." Old Madam Xie said.

This surprised everyone.

Wounded miners sent to the city for treatment?

This has never happened before.

Old Madam Xie walked straight forward, as if she didn't know the surprise she had brought by her words.

“…… I will go into the city with me. She continued.

The servant woman hurriedly retreated to convey the order.

Back in the house, Mrs. Xie watched the girls set the meal and sat down herself.

"Are we moving back? Or just go into the city for a few days? He asked happily.

"Me." Old Madam Xie said, "No. ”

Old lady Xie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.

"Okay, you go, you go, we are here waiting for you to come back." He said.

The girls on the side couldn't help laughing, but Mrs. Xie didn't have a smile on her face, and slowly ate absentmindedly.

The old miner actually left during the day, but Mrs. Xie has been staying in that room until now, and suddenly said that she would send the injured miner to the city for treatment, was it what the old miner said?

However, although it seems that the expression is wrong, it is not frustrated or angry, but the eyes that have always been cloudy have become brighter.

Old Lady Xie speculated in his heart.

"Why don't you have a drink?" He asked.

Have a drink?

Such a big happy event really deserves a drink to celebrate, but she has tried her best to control her feelings now, if she drinks alcohol, in case she can't help but reveal half a point......

Old Madam Xie took a few deep breaths.

"What to drink, there are so many things to do, eat early and rest." She said.

Sure enough, it was not angry and decadent, but energetic, as for why this happened, Old Lady Xie didn't care, he just needed to know that Old Lady Xie was happy.

"Eat, eat, eat." He said happily and picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

And this night was destined to be inevitable.

"Dad, what are you looking for?"

Brother An walked in and saw that Lao Haimu had turned the small and simple grass hut into chaos.

Lao Haimu ignored him, rummaged through his head, and finally stood up happily.

"Found it." He said.

Through the fire pond outside the grass shed, Brother An saw that Lao Haimu was holding a pendant in his hand, and he couldn't see what it was.

"Here, bring it." Lao Haimu said, handing the pendant to Brother An.

"What is this?" Brother An asked curiously, reaching out to take it.

"White Tiger Fang." Lao Haimu said, the flickering firelight shining on his face with excitement, "This is our family's heirloom." ”

The white tiger beast is like a storage zài, and it is really extremely rare to be able to get the white tiger teeth, and for miners like them who can hardly even walk out of the mountains in their lives, they can really be regarded as treasures.

Brother An touched it in his hand with a little liking, but he didn't bring it, but handed it back, and Lao Haimu stared at him.

"It's inconvenient to bring this with you to work, and it would be a pity if it broke it." Brother An said, "Dad, it's better to take it." ”

Lao Haimu stretched out his hand to take it, and couldn't help but say that he brought it to Brother An with his own hands.

"If you want to bring it, bring it." "I won't have to work anymore." ”

Brother An was stunned.

"Daddy? Why don't you have to work in the future? He asked.

Old Haimu didn't speak, and turned to look at the chaotic room.

"There's nothing to pack, nothing to bring." He muttered.

Brother An looked at the white tiger teeth hanging around his neck, and thought of Mrs. Xie's sudden visit today, and then took his father away for a long time before coming back, and his father has been very excited since he came back.

Could it be......

"Dad, is that time coming?" He asked.

Old Haimu turned his head to look at him and nodded.

"Daddy!" Ange shouted in disbelief.

Old Haimu raised his hand and slapped him, leaned over to look around, and made a boo.

"It is estimated that there will be a letter tomorrow, and the Great Dan Lord will take you away." He lowered his voice and said, his wrinkled old face was full of excitement, "Brother An, you have to fight in the future." ”

"What about you, Daddy?" Angoli asked, "Aren't you going with me?" ”

Old Haimu smiled, shook his head but did not speak.

"Dad, what is the reason?" Ange asked anxiously, "Is it because of those verses?" ”

"Okay, don't ask about it, and forget about the scriptures in the future." Old Haimu said.

It has always been a scripture that tells not to forget jì, and in the blink of an eye, it has become to forget jì.

"Dad, why?" An Ge Yu asked.

"The scripture has found its true owner, and our mission as custodians has been completed." Old Haimu said.

Ange was silent for a moment.

"Is there still a punishment for being a custodian?" He said, "If I'm gone, what will happen to you, Dad?" Is it to end this mission with death? ”

Old Haimu's body stiffened.

"What nonsense are you talking about." He said, turning around, "I'm just used to living here, but I'm not used to going out, so I don't want to leave the mine, and I won't mine anymore, and I can live an easy life here." ”

"But Dad, I don't think there is anything in this world that you are not used to, it just depends on whether you want to or not, and whether you can or not." An Ge Yu said.

Old Haimu turned to stare at him.

"Then I just don't want to go out." He said in a rough voice, "That's it, don't say any more, rest quickly." ”

So he lay down.

Brother An looked at him for a moment, and had to lie down on the other side, the fire in the fire pit had burned out, and the wind in the late autumn night swept by, stirring up the light of the stars, and gradually everything returned to calm.

But tonight is inevitable.

Xie Roujia opened her eyes and saw darkness, this time the window was not blown open by the wind, only a whirring sound outside the room.

I don't know if Shao Mingqing can meet the fifth uncle smoothly, and whether the fifth uncle will come to see her.

Xie Roujia put her hands behind her head and looked at the top of the tent and exhaled.

How can there be such an amazing scripture?

Why didn't you find out before? Is it only in Yushan, no, only when you enter the mine will it show its effect?

She read a lot of books in her previous life, did they all have this magical effect?

Xie Roujia sat up suddenly, put on her clothes and walked out of the inner room, outside Jiang Ling and Shui Ying wrapped themselves in the quilt and slept in Zhengxiang, Xie Roujia tucked the quilt corners for them, and walked out quietly.

Walking in the mountains and forests at night, Xie Roujia was no longer as slow as the first time, especially this time, she couldn't help but think of the scriptures she had read.

“… The rain comes, the clouds are shaking, from the southwest ......"

She raised her head and saw the night sky above her through the dense mountain forest, there was not a single star, and a dark green cloud was shaking and gathering.

A smile appeared on Xie Roujia's face, and she lowered her head and continued to walk.

“… The mountain is high and does not collapse, in the east and in the west, the nanmu does not change, and in the south and in the north......"

She turned a big nan tree with brisk steps, and through the night, the mountains and forests in front of her seemed to become very clear.

“… The wind comes, the wind comes, the fog disperses, the fog disperses, the sun rises, the sunrise..."

When the morning light spilled from the top of the mountain, Xie Roujia had been sitting on the top of the mountain for a long time, and the early morning wind in late autumn was already fierce, and her face was blown red.

Looking at the valley, because of the collapse the day before yesterday, the mine has been completely stopped, there are no miners who go up and down the mountain day and night, and there is no never-ending trumpet sound, quiet desolation.

Xie Roujia jumped into the valley in two of three times and ran down the steep cliff.

The collapsed place was not at all what it was at the beginning, Xie Roujia didn't stay long, but ran straight to the other side of the mountain, and you could see that there was still a mine over there from a distance.

Ange was startled when he heard the footsteps, and turned his head to see the girl with the mask jumping from the rocks like an elf.

"Why are you here?"

The two of them spotted each other at the same time and asked at the same time.

"If you don't work for a day, you're not used to it, right?" Xie Roujia said, and stood in front of An Ge Yu three times and two times.

Ange took a step back.

He's a miner, and it's not strange to come back to the mine even after a mine collapse, and she's ......

"Aren't you afraid?" He asked.

When he asked this, Xie Roujia had already walked past him to the mine in front of him, and when she heard the words, she turned around, although the mask covered most of her face, she could tell that she was laughing from the corners of her upturned mouth.

"I'm not afraid." She said, stepping into the mine.

As she imagined, the moment she stood in the cave was a strange but familiar feeling, she closed her eyes, and even felt that every qiē here was alive.

And compared to the mine that collapsed the day before, this one is much brighter and more vivid.

Xie Roujia took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

"Are you from the Xie family?" Angobi's voice sounded behind him.

Xie Roujia stopped.

"I used to be." "Not anymore," she said. ”

It used to be, and that is.

"So, is that scripture from the Xie family?" An Ge Yu asked.

That's why she reads it, and knows more than she knows.

Scripture?

Xie Roujia turned to look at him.

"I don't know, but it was indeed given to me by the Xie family." She said, a little curious, "You, have you always known this scripture?" ”

Brother An hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Do you really know?

"Who taught you that? Is it also from the Xie family? Xie Roujia asked hurriedly.

An Ge Yu's face showed hesitation, and he shook his head.

No?

Xie Roujia was surprised.

"I can't say." "I promised. ”

That's it, Xie Roujia smiled.

"Okay, then I won't ask." She said.

So easy to talk to...

Brother An was a little surprised, but he felt that there was no surprise, the girl really didn't ask, turned around and walked in, he subconsciously followed, watching the girl look east and west in the mine, up and down.

This mine is dirty and messy, and if it collapses, there will be no way to go up to heaven and earth, not to mention the real experience, that feeling can make people suffocate and collapse just thinking about it, so even the overseers are reluctant to come in, how can she seem to be happy here.

It's a short three-hole mine, and when you enter from one side and quickly come out from the other.

"What are you looking for?" Standing outside the mine, An Ge Yu couldn't help but ask.

Xie Roujia turned her head to look at him and smiled.

"No, I'm just looking... Creak? She said, laughing, and her eyes fell on his chest.

The shabby clothes worn by An Ge Yu showed his chest, and on them hung the tiger teeth that Lao Haimu gave him last night.

"You brought this." Xie Roujia said.

Brother An was stunned by what he said, and looked down at his tiger teeth.

Father has been hiding, and he only saw it yesterday, how can he hear what she means as if he had seen it before?

Xie Roujia couldn't help but reach out and pinch the tooth.

She remembered that Brother An secretly came to see her and Lan'er, and then was driven away, and Jiang Ling went out to ask about the situation and brought in this thing.

"For Lan'er." Jiang Ling said.

But how is this possible, her mother will never allow Lan'er to bring things given by others, including her father.

Xie Roujia hesitated, and put this thing that couldn't be seen as a tooth for Lan'er, and sure enough, the next time Lan'er was sent in to feed, the thing was gone, replaced by a warning.

"Madame said, if you see that the little lady has been brought something that shouldn't be bringed, you don't have to breastfeed the young lady anymore."

Brother An looked at the girl leaning over, couldn't help but stiffen, wanted to retreat, and was afraid that she would think that she was refusing to let her look at the tiger teeth, so she stood stiffly.

"I, my dad gave it to me." He said.

"What kind of tooth is this?" Xie Roujia asked.

"Tiger Teeth." An Ge Yu said, "White Tiger Teeth. ”

White Tiger, Xie Roujia nodded.

"It's a rarity." She said, let go of her hand, and looked up at Brother An, "Take it with you, don't give it to others, you can take it with yourself." ”

To someone else?

What do you mean?

Brother An was a little dazed, yes, what did she mean?

There was a commotion down the hill, and someone was shouting his name.

"Call you." Xie Roujia said, "I'll go first." ”

As soon as she had finished speaking, she took a step, and as fast as she had ever done before, the bright sunlight shining on her and striking it.

Old Madam Xie stopped and looked at the girl who was flying down the cliff opposite, looking very surprised.

"Is that her?" She asked.

The girl and the guard who followed closely next to her nodded hurriedly.

"It's Miss Roujia."

On the mine that had just collapsed, even the overseers didn't want to come, and she was still running here!

What a boldness!

Old Madam Xie looked at the girl who ran away in the blink of an eye and sighed.

She came to herself yesterday? What are you going to do? When you're done with this, go ask about it.

"Old lady, go down quickly, it's too dangerous here." The guards and girls persuaded again.

The Dan lords don't go to the mines, let alone the mines that have just collapsed.

Old Madam Xie looked at the valley.

"What kind of Dan master is not a Dan master who doesn't go to the mine." She muttered.

"Old lady." The girls pleaded.

Looking at the nervousness of the people below, Old Madam Xie smiled and turned to walk.

"Go down." She said.

By the time she walked down the mountain, Xie Roujia had already run away, and the carriages and horses that came to the city were ready.

Looking at the old lady Xie who came over, the injured miners who had already learned that they were going to be sent to the city for treatment, whether they could move or not, all kowtowed excitedly.

Brother An broke free of his father's pressure and looked at Mrs. Xie, with a little determination on her dark face.

"Lord Great Dan." He shouted and rushed over.

Lao Haimu was taken aback and hurriedly chased after him.

At this time, the carriage and horses had already gone a lot, and Mrs. Xie was about to get into the car, when she heard this shout, she turned around and looked at the young man who ran over.

"Brother An, don't disobey Lord Dan's words." Old Haimu shouted in a low voice.

"I just don't want to go against Lord Dan's good intentions." An Ge Yu said.

Looking at the guards around the carriage and horses, Lao Haimu sighed in his heart.

"How can Lord Great Dan listen to you." He whispered, "Don't mess around. ”

Before his words fell, Old Madam Xie spoke.

"What are you going to tell me?" "I'll hear it," she asked. ”
