Chapter 90: Resignation and Guarding
On the day of Ciling, there were no relatives Zhuang Neighbors for a whole day, in fact, they also understood that Chu Zhi was a death row prisoner, and according to the law, there should not have been a mourning hall, and it was no longer in accordance with the etiquette law for them to quietly build a mourning shed in the courtyard, plus Chu Zhi's three generations of single halls, there were no more than half of their relatives.

And those Zhuang neighbors don't need to get into trouble because of them, so it's normal not to come, although Mrs. Chu comforted herself like this, but there was some disappointment in her eyes.
"Mother, it's late at night, go back to your room and rest, I'm here." Chu Shenxia supported her and observed whether she had the intention of getting up.
Mrs. Chu didn't mean to get up at first, but seeing her son's worried eyes, she was also worried that she wouldn't be able to stand the journey out of the coffin tomorrow, so she stood up along his hand.
In the silent night, there was a sudden sound of clear footsteps, and several people involuntarily looked out, and the figures of two middle-aged men poked out in the hazy night, and they seemed to have something in their arms, very cautious.
They were not in a hurry to step forward, but after looking left and right, they relieved themselves to let go of their arms, strode in front of Mrs. Chu, and handed her the burden in their hands.
"Sister-in-law, the eldest brother is gone, you must take care of your condolences, these things are not a tribute, accept it, it is our heart for the eldest brother." One of the taller men glanced at Chu Shenxia as he spoke, and comforted: "Fortunately, you still have such a filial son, and you will not suffer in the future." ”
Mrs. Chu was a little excited when she saw the old man, and her hand holding the burden trembled slightly, and it took a long time to shake out a sentence from her mouth, "Ji'an Jiyu, thank you very much." ”
Ji Yu was obviously a little excited, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to the coffin, Mrs. Chu wanted to reach out to help, but was stopped by Ji An.
Ji An knelt down closely, the two brothers kowtowed together, Ji Yu kowtowed and said bitterly: "Big brother, rest assured that your wife and children will be taken care of by us, and you will go all the way." ”
Mrs. Chu's face was gloomy, she couldn't restrain the pain in her heart, and retreated to the side to hide her face and weep.
Ji Yu wiped his tears, got up and said: "Sister-in-law, don't blame the brothers for not being righteous, and don't blame those Zhuang neighbors for being cold-hearted, since the Beiyan invaded Jincheng, many brothers don't know where they went. ”
Ji Yu's voice sank, with some crying, he hurriedly stopped, took a deep breath and said: "People in troubled times don't seek to be rich and rich, they only want their families to be safe, they ...... They're just scared, too. ”
Mrs. Chu shook her head, tears fell down her face in an instant, and she looked directly into their eyes and said mournfully: "I know, you don't have to explain, I understand, I don't blame anyone, the master is also to blame for coming to this point, and he can't blame others." ”
"Sister-in-law, don't say that." Ji'an was startled and hurriedly blocked.
"Eh, I don't have long eyes when I walk, where did I hit it? You little, if you don't sleep well, you have to come along, and I won't teach you a good lesson when I go back. A deliberately muffled rebuke came from the doorway.
Ji An Jiyu straightened his body like a conditioned reflex, Chu Shenxia saw their thoughts, and turned sideways slightly and said, "The two of you are here, please, the back door is there." ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on the faces of the two brothers, and they lowered their heads and took two steps, seeing that the master's family did not mean to send each other, the embarrassment on their faces deepened.
At the same time, the figure of the eldest aunt of the Zhang family had already appeared in front of her, she glanced twice in the direction where the two brothers of Ji'an and Jiyu disappeared, and said in surprise: "How did I see the two officials walking over?" ”
"Aunt Zhang is afraid that she is dazzled, we have never seen an official errand." Chu Shenxia greeted her and took a few steamed buns in her hand and put them aside.
"Maybe it's too dark, I can't see clearly, the little cub just fell down, and even my clothes were broken, how much did it cost me?" When Aunt Zhang said this, she glared fiercely at the child on the side, but the child stuck out her tongue without hesitation.
When Mrs. Chu heard this, she hurriedly walked to the child's side and asked softly, "Are you okay?" Where it hurts, you know? ”
The child shook his head slowly, and Mrs. Chu glanced at Aunt Zhang out of the corner of her eye, then took out a piece of broken silver from her cuff, stuffed it into the child's hand, and said, "Come, Xiaomin, take it." ”
When Aunt Zhang saw it, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Min over, dragged her behind her, and said in a loud voice, "How can we collect your money?" Now that your husband is dead, and your son is not always around, life must be much easier than ours, but you dare not take it. ”
Mrs. Chu's outstretched hand paused in mid-air, her face was slightly ugly, Chu Shenxia saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Thank you Aunt Zhang for the steamed buns, the night is dark, presumably Xiaomin is also sleepy, why don't you go back first and come back tomorrow?" ”
Aunt Zhang glanced at him and reprimanded in a low voice: "How can you come tomorrow?" You're going to come out of the coffin tomorrow, and those of us who are folks, I'm afraid it's not convenient to come forward. ”
Chu Shenxia clenched his hands, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, but he didn't feel anything, he remembered that his favorite aunt when he was a child was Aunt Zhang, at that time, she didn't speak harshly like now, and she hurt herself like her own son.
"The guy in my family has been bedridden for several years, and that's why we didn't move out like everyone else when Jincheng was occupied, but fortunately, now some neighbors have come back. Your family's affairs have already spread all over Jincheng, and we are also afraid of getting into trouble, knowing that today is the day of resignation, everyone wants to come but dare not come, this is the gift money that I made together with Wang Dong's family and Chen Cun and Luo Hu's family, you take it. Aunt Zhang handed the gift money in her hand to Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu was a little moved, looked at her in a daze, her eyes were red again, she gently pushed her hand away, and almost cried, "You are all not having a good time, how can I take yours?" ”
"Oh, you just take it, it's so awkward, it makes me uncomfortable." Aunt Zhang laughed dryly and forcibly stuffed the gift money in her hand into her hand.
Mrs. Chu couldn't shirk it in every possible way, so she had to accept it, Aunt Zhang's eyes lingered reluctantly on the gift money, paused, and then pulled Xiao Min as if she had made up her mind, and said; "That's it, you take care, I'll go back first."
Watching the backs of one big and one small disappear in front of her, completely blending in with the night, Mrs. Chu couldn't help crying loudly.
The gift money in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand gold, so heavy that she couldn't hold it, Mrs. Chu held the coffin and cried, hearing her mother's crying voice, Chu Shenxia was a little at a loss, and stepped forward to comfort her, not to consol her.
Jing Wei, who had been silent, got up from the ground and gently patted Mrs. Chu's shoulder and comforted: "Mother, don't cry, my father will feel uneasy when he hears it." ”
When Chu Shenxia heard Jing Min's words, her heart was shocked, and her eyes widened to look at Jing Min, but unfortunately Jing Min never noticed his burning gaze, just persuaded Mrs. Chu wholeheartedly, and finally persuaded her to go back to the room.
"What did you call my mother?" Chu Shenxia knelt straight in front of the coffin and asked without being salty.
Jing Yan didn't respond, lifted his robe, and knelt beside Chu Shenxia, which caused Chu Shenxia's great reaction.
Tonight, he wants to keep a watch for his father Chu Zhi, but what is it that Jing Yan is kneeling here? From ancient times to the present, isn't it true that sons have kept the spirit of their fathers? Where is the reason for outsiders to keep the spirit?
"Not long ago, my mother adopted me as her adopted son, and I promised my mother that she would take good care of her, and I would also guard my father's spirit." Jing Yan knelt straight, and his two eyes shot powerfully on the coffin.
Chu Shenxia glanced at him, and then withdrew his gaze, if Shen Yu was still alive, he should be as old as him, I don't know what kind of personality Shen Yu will be when he grows up?
Chu Shenxia didn't know what kind of temperament Shen Yu would have, but he could be sure that no matter which one it was, it wouldn't be like Jing Yu.
"Are you really not going back to Jiankang in the future?" Jing Min asked coldly, Yu Guang glanced at him, and added, "Still, this is a lie you told to lie to your mother." ”
Seeing that he was silent, Jing Wei sighed and said, "You really want to go back there." ”
"I'm going to kill someone, and if he doesn't die, I'll have to go back." Chu Shenxia gritted his teeth and replied.
Jing Min suddenly kowtowed to the coffin, and after slowly getting up, he said in an extremely calm tone: "People, I have already killed, you don't have to go back." ”
"Impossible! You came to Jincheng earlier than me, and when I left Jiankang, he was not dead. Chu Shenxia's face showed a rare shock.
Jing Yan turned his face to look at him sideways, and smiled slightly at his suspicious gaze, "Whether you believe it or not, he is dead, in fact, I know that you want to go back to Jiankang not only to kill people, presumably that person is the one you are worried about." ”
The expression on Chu Shenxia's face gradually faded, and he closed his eyes slightly, not wanting to answer his question.
Jing Yan moved the brazier in front of him, burned a few more, and the fire was in full bloom, for a moment, he actually thought that the person in the brazier was himself, and asked unconsciously: "Shen Xia, if you are the only one left in this world in the future, how will you deal with yourself?" ”
Chu Shenxia glanced at him sideways, and said in a deep voice: "I hope that except for me, everyone else is alive and well in this world." ”
Jing Yan didn't seem to hear his words, and asked himself: "That's also fate, you don't have half a way to resist fate except to live well."
Chu Shenxia didn't understand what he was talking about, so he didn't take it to heart.
