There was nothing to say all night, and the next day just after dawn, Lai Xing'er was woken up by the sound of dogs barking from outside the courtyard gate, he turned over and sat up, and saw Jiang Zhongshi and Lao Huang, who were sleeping together, still asleep, so he quietly put on his clothes and walked out of the guest room alone.

A thin room of light mist shrouded the courtyard. Suddenly, Lai Xing'er saw that the woman's mother and son were standing and kneeling, and were silently mourning and praying in front of the stone case where Xin Twelve Niang's body was placed. Now that you are dying in the struggle to expel the barbarians, it is as if you have died under the sword of the enemy, and in the eyes of your sister, you can be regarded as a well-deserved death. You can rest assured, after the first seven days, my sister will choose a quiet place at the foot of the mountain behind the courtyard and bury you there, and my sister promises you that I will stay here with you for the rest of my life and never leave......"

The couple kneeling in front of her seemed to be asleep, and was awakened by her mother's words at this time, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said, "Mother, Aunt Twelve is dead, do you have to tell the second aunt?" As he spoke, when he turned around, he found that Lai Xing'er was standing behind his mother, so he stopped talking abruptly.

Seeing this, Lai Xing'er hurriedly turned around and came to the woman, bowed down, and apologized: "The inferior three people were here last night, but they didn't know that the mother and son of the respected master had stayed by the side of the eldest lady all night and did not sleep. ”

The woman replied with a salute to Xing'er, and said: "The guest doesn't know, the poor road and the twelve mothers have been friends for many years, and the relationship is very good, the couple has followed her to learn martial arts since childhood, and there is more teacher-student affection. It's just that there is still a thing that has not been asked to the guests last night, so that the poor road is like a fish in the throat, not vomiting unhappy: do not hide from the guests to say, Twelve Niang lived in my 'Shuangqing Xiaozhu' for most of the year, half a month ago when she left, has not mentioned a few new friends in Chang'an City, but I don't know how the guests met her, and how to make friends with her? ”

Lai Xing'er knew that she was at ease with herself and the other three people, so she asked bluntly, so she replied calmly: "Since the master asked, then I told the truth that we and this lady were really strangers, only because when the Tubo people captured Chang'an, they were stranded in the city, and they also had the ambition to expel the barbarians and restore my Chinese imperial capital, so they gathered together and became partners who fought side by side." It's a pity that the eldest lady has the ambition to kill the enemy, and in the end she still lost her life at the hands of the Tubo people. ”

The two were talking, only to hear "Xiao Huang" outside the courtyard gate screaming again.

"Mother, it should be someone who asked for medical advice." As she spoke, she stood up and went to open the courtyard door.

"I see." After hearing Lai Xing'er's answer, the woman nodded thoughtfully and said, "Since this is the case, the love of the three guests, friends and partners has been exhausted, please go back to Chang'an today." Twelve Niang Quanxia knows, and will also be grateful for the friendship of the three guests. ”

Lai Xing'er didn't expect that she would give an eviction order to herself and the other three early in the morning, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart, and remembered that this woman kept saying that she was Xin Shiniang's closest old friend, but she refused to report her name, how could she and the other three leave with confidence, so, according to the unhappiness in her heart, she hugged her fists and said to the woman: "I waited until I was entrusted by the eldest lady before she died, and the bento had a beginning and an end. Moreover, when we meet with the pure Pingshui of the respected master, how can we know whether what the respected master said is true or false, and how can we easily entrust the bones of the eldest lady to the honored master? Therefore, it is impossible to stay here for a few more days. ”

He said it very bluntly, and the woman listened, but she didn't have a trace of annoyance, just looked at the crowd that rushed in behind her, and said lightly to Xing'er: "Have you ever heard of the name of Fan Sanshu?" I am Cai Xunzhen, the eldest sister of the three sisters, and Xin Twelve Niang is my little sister, this time the guests can leave with confidence. ”

"Fan Sanshu"? Lai Xing'er felt in a trance that she had heard of this name somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Dao Chief, Mr. Liu went out of the mountain to assist the new emperor in governing the country, leaving you two to live in this mountain, we have not received much from your favor on weekdays, if you need manpower for something, just say it. What's the matter, there's a guest at home? A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a wide mouth was the first to walk into the courtyard and said to the woman.

Mr. Liu?!

This time, Lai Xing'er no longer had the slightest hesitation, and blurted out to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, may I ask if the Mr. Liu you just mentioned is named Liu Yi, and the one who is now the official observer of Shaanxi?" ”

"Who are you? How do you know Mr. Liu's name? The middle-aged man stared at Xing'er suspiciously and asked.

Cai Xunzhen also set his eyes on Lai Xing'er.

Lai Xing'er had already heard from the words of the middle-aged man Fang Cai that Cai Xunzhen and Liu Yi were a couple, so he saluted her and changed his words: "Madam, when I was on an errand in the Yanying Hall of Daming Palace a few months ago, I had benefited a lot from Mr. Liu's teachings, and I felt a lot of honors today. Since I am fortunate enough to come to Mr. Liu's house, I will have to be cheeky and bother in the house for a few days. ”

Cai Xunzhen and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, and said to the man first: "Brother Wang, please stay with the villagers who came to see the illness today for a while, and Poor Dao has a few words to say to this little brother." ”

The middle-aged man knew that Cai Xunzhen had something to say to Lai Xing'er alone, glanced at the body of Xin Shi Niang placed on the stone case in the courtyard, didn't say anything, bowed to Cai Xunzhen, and walked into the crowd that poured into the small courtyard of "Shuangqing Xiaozhu".

"They are all mountain people in the vicinity, and they often come to me for medical advice when they have a major disaster or a minor illness. After Liu Yi went out of the mountain for the second time, only our mother and son were left to live here, and they had to rely on the care of the villagers to take care of these few acres of thin fields outside the courtyard for us. Cai Xunzhen heard that Xing'er said that he was familiar with Liu Yi, so he slowed down his tone and came to Xing'er with him. (To be continued.) )
