143. The death of Luo Yunshi
In the backyard, Zheng Shu, Du Ling, and Ah San were all waiting for him. Fortunately, there is a small bathhouse in the command post. Nangong Jin held the roast chicken and nibbled on it, and went to take a bath with the three of them.
"Kandai people." A small official called Nangong Jin's 'secret number' and ran forward, "Lord Haidong, please go and drink tea." "'Haidong' is Ling Zheng's 'secret name'.
"Now?" Nangong Jin took another bite of roast chicken.
"Yes, the lower official has been waiting for you for a long time." The little official laughed with him.
Zheng Shu frowned and patted Nangong Jin, "Go take a bath first, don't pay attention to him." ”
Nangong Jin laughed, "Just drink a tea, eighty percent think that my tea is good." Okay, you go first, I'll make a cup of tea. ”
Zheng Shu grabbed him, what to say, thought about it and said, "I'll go with you." ”
"What?" Nangong Jin shook him off with a smile, "People didn't invite you, unhappy?" Stuffing the chicken in his hand, "Is there a bar in Lord Qian's cellar?" ”
Ah San smiled, "You drank it all last time, and you're still worried, isn't it enough to punish you?" ”
"I'm not the only one to drink, you have a share. Send you to find a few more jars, and we'll drink and soak them in a while. ”
Du Ling was anxious when he heard the drink, "Hey, hey, that ......." "I wanted to call him by name, but I couldn't call him by name here, and I didn't know what to call him, so I just wanted to stop him from drinking. Seeing Nangong Jin fly with an eye knife, Du Ling immediately stopped obediently.
"Get your food and drink ready, and I'll come right away. Maybe call Ling Zheng over, hahaha. ”
**********
Ling Zheng temporarily lived in a row of houses in the middle of nowhere. Inside the house, there was a stoneware tea set in front of him, and water was boiling on a small stove beside him.
"Sit." Seeing Nangong Jin coming in, he didn't let go, and poured the tea leaves in the teapot, "White tea." I remember when he was there, he thought the white tea was tasteless, but he always made white tea every time. ”
Nangong Jin was stunned, and after a while, he sat down slowly. Ling Zheng poured out the tea leaves from the tea can, step by step. Obviously, I know this whole set of tea rituals, but I can't pretend just now.
"I've been with him, too. After he taught others, he didn't do it himself. In the past, every time I met him, I always made tea, he watched, and commented from time to time. This tea set is his. Ling Zheng said eloquently.
Nangong Jin looked at Ling Zheng, but Ling Zheng was expressionless and focused on the tea in his hand.
"He led me to the entrance, and then he went to the north. For me, I am also a teacher and a friend, and I am as kind as a mountain. Ling Zheng continued, not looking at Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin was silent, staring at Ling Zheng's movements.
Ling Zheng's tone was light, "I've heard him talk about you a long time ago, and he said that he raised a stupid boy, just like he said he had a pet." ”
"He kept calling me stupid." Nangong Jin's voice was a little soft.
"I don't understand, what qualifications do you have to take his name?" Ling Zheng seemed to restrain his anger.
The two were silent, and a long-buried sadness rose in Nangong Jin's heart, "I'm sorry." At the time, I just didn't want him to die. But....... ”
"But he died." Ling Zheng silently poured a cup of tea, and did not give it to Nangong Jin, but put it in an empty seat. "I heard that you were there when he died?"
Nangong Jin nodded.
"Tell me what it was like."
Nangong Jin took a breath, "He asked me to take Zheng Shu to go first, and then ......." ”
Ling Zheng interrupted him, "Detailed." ”
Nangong Jin always stared at the tea set, and after a while, he finally said slowly: "We pretended to be a caravan to go to Tumochuan, and we have been walking for many days beyond the Ming Frontier. encountered a tribal cavalry, dozens of people, and they were carrying more than a hundred Han Chinese. This situation is often encountered on the road, we have the flag of the imperial court, they will not rob us, Brother Luo gave them filial piety, and then planned to bypass them. I don't know what's going on, but they are always not far from us, and they have been on the same road for two days. ”
Nangong Jin stopped, and there was silence in the room. Ling Zheng didn't seem to plan to pour it again after pouring that cup of tea, but just sat with an empty cup.
For many years, it was Zheng Shu who said that the world is impermanent, and it is useless to think too much, so I don't forget it or remember it when I bury it in my heart. So, whenever I think of him over the years, I silently tell myself that he is still alive, as long as he does well enough, he will live forever. Because there is no Nangong Jin or Wang Qin in this world, only Luo Yunshi.
...... that night, why ask? Since that day, I haven't remembered that day. Why ask?! He's dead! That night, he died! After so many years, it's just a lie to yourself......
Nangong Jin looked at the cup that was placed on the empty seat, and his eyes seemed to be a little moist, "At night, I heard a terrible scream over there. Brother Luo told me to leave it alone. I understand that they will not let all the Han people die, because these Han people are slaves in farming. I know, it's useless. ......, until the middle of the night, still howling, I heard the wolf howling. ......, in the steppe, all this is very common, I don't know why it was ...... that day. ”
Ling Zheng stared at him without saying a word.
"We didn't know at the time that this cavalry was waiting for another to converge. I thought there were only twenty or thirty people over there, and I, after I started, I ....... Nangong Jin's voice was a little choked, and those memories buried deep in his heart rushed out of the floodgate like water, "There are too many Tartars, hundreds of people rushed over at once, all of them were cavalry." Brother Luo asked me to take Mr. Zheng first, and he said that he was broken. I ......"
"You killed him?" Ling Zheng's voice was cold.
Nangong Jin lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"And then? Then, you're gone! Ling Zheng suddenly got up, flipped over the table, and grabbed Nangong Jin's collar, "Say! And then what! Ling Zheng stared at him fiercely and shouted, "Say! ”
"Yes. I saw the Tartar riding a horse, dragging Brother Luo ....... Without waiting for Nangong Jin to finish speaking, Ling Zheng punched Nangong Jin directly to the ground.
The door was slammed open by Ah San, and Zheng Shu and Zheng Shu rushed up and grabbed Ling Zheng, "Ling Zheng, Ling Zheng, don't care about him!" ”
Ling Zheng didn't listen at all, and wanted to rush up and kick it.
Nangong Jin fell to the ground, and the grief that had been suppressed back then surged up crazily, and she whispered with tears: "I saw that he was injured, and I saw that he was taken away by the Tartars." I know, I know that Big Brother Luo is dead, and they have been dragging his body...... "Yes, Big Brother Luo is dead, like it happened yesterday."
"Nangong, don't say it!" Zheng Shu drank heavily.
Nangong Jin didn't hear his words at all, and his expression was sad, "All the way, it's his ......flesh and blood." ”
"Nangong Jin, that's enough!" Zheng Shu kept interrupting him. Ling Zheng was angry and grief-stricken, his eyes were blood-red, and he struggled to rush forward. Zheng Shu hugged him directly, "Ling Zheng, calm down, it's really none of his business." I told him to run, I told him not to save him. Ling Zheng! ”
"You! You still have the name of Luo Yunshi! Ling Zheng roared.
"I told him to top! Marble has a mission, and I called him on top. Zheng Shu always hugged him, "You calm down." He shouted outside the door again, "Du Ling, quickly pull Nangong out." ”
Du Ling cautiously stretched out his head to take a look, quickly rushed to Nangong Jin's side, and pulled him up vigorously.
"Yes, I killed Brother Luo...... Nangong Jin muttered, his breath unstable.
At this time, even Ah San felt that he couldn't hold it, and said hurriedly: "Nangong, don't say it!" Du Ling: Hurry up. ”
Nangong Jin lowered his head and let Du Ling pull him out of the door.
In the room, Zheng Shu kept saying: "This is an accident, it's an accident, Ling Zheng, calm down!" ”
Finally, Ling Zheng calmed down, got rid of the two, and began to clean up. Ah San received Zheng Shu's signal, silently withdrew, and closed the door.
"Ling Zheng." Zheng Shu also helped clean up together, "This matter is over, and you can't blame him entirely, it's all unexpected." After that, he also worked hard, as long as Yunshi said it, he tried to do it. At the time, he was also only a teenager. Seeing that Ling Zheng didn't react, he continued, "Later, he went to snatch Yunshi's body and came back. I didn't let him go at the time, it was really too dangerous, and if he was discovered, it would be ....... You know, if you do this, you don't know what will happen tomorrow ...... today. ”
"Where is he buried?" Ling Zheng sat silently aside.
"On the grassland, not in the territory of Daming." Zheng Shu also sat down beside Ling Zheng, "I know that you have a good relationship with Yunshi, but in fact, Nangong is the same as you. So I didn't even dare to let the two of you touch it, I knew it would be like this. Alas, ......, Yun Shi took the two of you with him, don't be angry. After that, if you don't see it, you are in the south anyway, and he is in the north. ”
"Lord Zheng," Ah San hurriedly pushed the door in, helpless and anxious. "Lord Zheng, can the medicine depot be opened? Mr. Qian is not here. Nangong fell ill and fell down at once, and Du Ling asked for medicine. There is no key to the medicine store. ”
Zheng Shu stood up and shouted, "You pig, you don't have a key, you can't pry!" "Rushed out.
