Chapter 8: The Holy Flame Order
Shen Yue helped Pinglan wipe away her tears and comforted softly: "Don't be sad, Lingtang can come back for a reunion, it is already a gift from God, you still have your mother and brother to take care of, cheer up and don't let them worry." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Pinglan wiped her eyes with her sleeve, slowly stopped sobbing, and went into the house to take care of her father.
Sighing lightly, Shen Yue walked to the lobby of the inn, Gao Sheng and the others had just come back from selling horses and got together with the old Chinese medicine doctor, when they saw Shen Yue coming, they stepped forward and handed over a package and said: "Brother Shen, this is the money for selling horses, we are selling in a hurry, the price is a little low, fifteen horses were sold for a total of five hundred taels of silver." ”
Shen Yue didn't take it, but just took an ingot of about ten taels of silver from it and said: "These silver taels are earned by everyone together, you first give each person five taels of silver, and the rest will be kept by you, and then if you need it, you will receive it from you." ”
Guan Xing and a few people saw Shen Yue's frank behavior, and admired it in their hearts, they had the grace to save their lives but did not invite credit, and they were indifferent to their property, they were very righteous, and they got along with him day and night these days, and they no longer regarded him as a teenager, and they all had some respect.
Turning around and handing over the silver to the old Chinese medicine doctor, although Shen Yue didn't know the current prices, he knew that there was no medicine for Ping Shuwen, and he believed that doctors in this era would not prescribe some sky-high drugs to critically ill patients like later generations, so he asked Xiao Er to accompany the old Chinese medicine doctor to the pharmacy to grab medicine.
Guan Xing, Gao Sheng and the other four people were let into the cubicle, and Shen Yue said in a low voice: "The doctor said that Brother Ping's illness is not good, I am a little confused now, and I have to take care of their mother and daughter, please ask Brother Gao to prepare for the future in private." ”
Several people were a little sorry when they heard it, and Gao Sheng persuaded: "Brother Shen doesn't have to be polite, you have a life-saving grace for us, and you are righteous, the brothers are all obedient to you, and you will directly order anything in the future." ”
Guan Xing also stepped forward and stood up and responded: "Yes, Brother Shen, we will listen to you in the future." Ping Dayong and Ping Dashan also nodded yes.
Shen Yue felt relieved, looked at the eager eyes of several people and said: "Let's settle in this county town now, it's quite safe here, Brother Guan will go to the city to inquire if there is a suitable yard to buy it, and then find a place to settle down before making plans." ”
After some discussion, several people had some hope in their hearts, so they went out to busy.
In the middle of the night, Shen Yue has been unable to sleep, Ping Shuwen's illness is afraid that it will not last long, and he is overworked in the Yuan soldiers, if he didn't care about Pinglan and her family, I am afraid that he would have collapsed like others and was killed by the Yuan soldiers. Now reunited with his family, although he is lucky, he has unloaded the breath that has been supporting him, and he is powerless to return to heaven at this time, such a father is great, and the feelings for his family are beyond life and death, thinking of his relatives who are far away from endless time and space, and he can't help but burst into tears.
When he was upset, Pinglan's eager call for the door sounded outside the house, Shen Yue secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly pushed the door out, but saw Pinglan pear blossoms with rain.
"Brother Shen, my father is dying, he asked you to go over and have something to say."
When he came to Ping Shuwen's room, Wang and Ping Yuan were already crying and kneeling in front of the bed, but Ping Shuwen's face was a little ruddy at the moment, sitting against the bed, beckoning Shen Yue to go over.
Shen Yue saw that he was already a reflection of the light, his heart was sad, and he walked closer with tears in his eyes.
Ping Shuwen took Shen Yue's hand, his voice was low and trembling,
"Brother Shen, I know that my life will be short, but I can't let go of their mother and daughter, I have nothing to repay you, but please take care of them for me?"
Shen Yue was a little excited, and choked up: "Brother Ping, don't worry, I will treat them like my relatives, as long as I am alive, I will not make them suffer." ”
Ping Shuwen smiled when he heard Shen Yue's words, and waved his hand at Wang,
"You take the children out first, I have something to explain to Brother Shen."
Wang got up and sobbed, pulled Pinglan and Pingyuan and walked out. Ping Shuwen put his hand in his arms, took out a cloth bag and put it in Shen Yue's hand and whispered,
"I was almost dead when I was imprisoned by Yuan Bing, but fortunately, I stumbled upon this hidden body in the treasure cave, and after a night, I felt that some essence was born, so I survived until now, you have to hide this thing closely, don't let people see it, and don't talk about it with them."
Shen Yue was shocked when he heard this, and he thought of what the old Chinese medicine doctor said, and he was a little convinced. He hid the cloth bag in his bosom and said, "I know what to do, you rest for a while, and I will call them in." Seeing that the red light on Ping Shuwen's face gradually faded, he hurriedly left the house and asked Wang and the others to go in and see him for the last time.
At this time, Gao Sheng and the others were already gathered outside the house, and their faces were a little moved. Shen Yue shook his head and sighed at everyone, suddenly heard a howl and cry in the house, turned around and rushed into the house, and saw that Ping Shuwen on the bed was already dead of anger.
At dawn the next day, Shen Yue and a few people helped the Wang family to Zhang Luo's funeral, and there was no solemn and cumbersome etiquette in the troubled times, but Shen Yue still discussed it with everyone, carried Ping Shuwen's body into the coffin, and pulled it to the newly purchased courtyard with a carriage, ready to pay tribute for three days.
Although some people in later generations felt that some funeral rites in the countryside were cumbersome and rotten, Shen Yue experienced the death of his relatives and knew the grief experienced during that time.
There is also a story on the Internet, it is said that there is a widow who is seriously ill and in a trance, the widow's husband has just died, under the persuasion of the seven aunts and eight aunts, the husband will return to his mother to recuperate after his death, and the family does not want her to be sad, and comforts her all day long, but the widow's spirit is becoming haggard day by day. After checking in several hospitals, there was no problem, and an old Chinese medicine doctor heard that only one prescription was prescribed, and it was written that the widow should be locked up in a hut, and some people outside the door would be found to scold her through the window, and make her cry loudly. As she did so, she was unexpectedly cured of her illness.
Shen Yue also wanted to resolve the bereavement of the Pinglan family through this form. Others are outsiders after a thousand words, and people need to go through pain to get back together, and there is no joy without sorrow. I was a taciturn person, and the only thing I could comfort Pinglan was companionship.
The courtyard that Guan Xing found was very spacious, after all, he still had to raise horses, the population was large, and there were Wang's mother and daughter, so it was too small to enter and exit. There are three or four acres of land in the courtyard of Sanjin, but now the county is scarce, the world is turbulent, and the price is not expensive, as long as forty taels of silver, Gao Sheng bought some furniture, firewood, rice and other daily necessities, and the silver money is still very abundant, and there are more than four hundred taels left.
In the daytime, some new neighbors came to mourn, Shen Yue sighed a little at the simple folk customs of the Ming Dynasty, if it was a high-rise building in later generations, even if he lived in the opposite door, he would not get along with each other for a long time, and the world would not be indifferent to such an ancient road. Shen Yue felt a little in love with this world.
After three days of filial piety, Shen Yue and his entourage helped carry the coffin and buried Ping Shuwen outside the city, the Wang family cried again, and the thin Ping Yuan supported his mother Wang, this little boy was still a little naughty at the first acquaintance, and at this time he experienced life and death, but he seemed a little mature, and grief would make people grow.
It was already evening when he returned to the courtyard, and as soon as Wang took Pinglan back, he began to gather food, and after Shen Yue and a few people took care of him for several days, he regarded several people as a family in his heart, and he also wanted to find something to do, so as not to fall into sadness.
Shen Yue was relieved when he saw this, returned to his room, took out the flat text from his arms and handed it to himself in a cloth bag.
Since listening to what Ping Shuwen said, Shen Yue has been curious about the contents of this bag for a long time, but he is just busy dealing with the aftermath of Ping Shuwen, and he has never opened it. Now I'm ready to take a sneak peek. When the cloth bag was spread, it was a piece of iron embedded in mahogany, and the whole was no more than the size of a palm, and it was not heavy to hold in the hand. Is this thing really that amazing? Shen Yue was a little puzzled, looking carefully, the material of the iron sheet was not like iron, the color was black, but there were fine lines on it, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like the integrated circuits of later generations, but this one was more sophisticated. There are also circles at the bottom of the iron sheets, like the growth rings of a tree. Flipping over and checking, the words on the mahogany frame made Shen Yue's armpit cold.
On this piece of wood are clearly engraved with three official script fonts "Holy Fire Order"!
