Chapter 51: Heart-to-heart
The Arctic Pavilion (Jilong Mountain) Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum is located, the east is connected with Jiuzi Mountain (Jiuhua Mountain), the north is near the Houhu Lake (Xuanwu Lake), the momentum is magnificent, the scale is huge, several ancestors sleep here, the towering green mountains, solemn and solemn, the green ladder road in front of the mountain as many as a thousand steps stretches endlessly, and you can't see the end at a glance.
Within five miles around the imperial mausoleum, countless tall tombs are distributed around, all of which are the testimony of loyal courtiers who continue to guard the monarch after a hundred years, along the avenue of dragon curve to the south, there are two horse-drawn carriages slowly marching, Xie Yu and Xie Ju riding horses in parallel, and in the carriage, Zhang Meng, who was hooded, stuffed with cloth in his mouth, and missing an arm.
Xie Yan's tomb is located next to the back lake, and you can still see the white flags that covered the sky and the sun a few months ago lingering around, but at this time it is indeed broken, full of dust, making people look lonely.
Next to the tomb, there are several wooden houses, from time to time there are servants of the Xie family who are repairing the road, shoveling weeds, hearing the sound of the frame, they all stop and turn around, bow down, and say in a deep voice: "I've seen the Ninth Young Master!" ”
Xie Yu waved his hand, and the servant began to get busy again, walked to one of the rooms, stood at the door, and saw Xie Chao sitting on the bamboo collapse, holding a scroll in his hand and looking up at this brother himself, and smiled bitterly: "Come in and sit!" ”
Xie Yu stepped in with his legs raised, sat on his knees next to Xie Ming, and looked at his cousin, who had not been seen for a few months, wearing mourning clothes, his face was pale, and his emaciated figure was extremely thin, which made people feel very uncomfortable to look at.
"Ninth brother Yongdong has returned, I don't know if I can catch Zhang Meng's house?" Although Xie Chao was reading a book, he asked this impatiently, and while waiting for the other party to answer, his hands trembled unconsciously.
Xie Yu raised his head, looked at this cousin, reached out and grabbed the trembling hand and said, "Catch it, it's outside!" ”
Xie Chao stood up with a "sigh", put down the scroll in his hand, laughed "hahahaha", tears did gush out, Xu sat for a long time, anemia caused him to stand up in a hurry, his body was shaky, Xie Yu got up and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be sad, be careful of hurting your body." ”
Xie Chao stood up excitedly, and then stepped out, Xie Yu followed closely behind, and suddenly regretted bringing this scourge here.
"Xie Ju, get this thief down!" Xie Chao walked to the frame and shouted.
"Yes!" Xie Ju lifted the curtain, grabbed Zhang Meng, shook it vigorously, and threw it on the ground for a lifetime, and the guy who fell screamed "woo woo woo".
Xie Chao stepped forward to tear off the seal, and stepped on the other party's face with one kick, stepping on, stepping on, stepping on, until Zhang Meng's face was covered with blood, and when the whites of his eyes rolled straight over, he grabbed the thief's collar and pulled it towards Xie Yan's tomb.
Xie Ju stepped forward and just wanted to reach out to help, but Xie Yu shook his hand to stop him, and the two followed silently.
The back collar was pulled, and the front shirt stuck in the neck made Zhang Mengzhi, who was tied, roll his eyes and gasp heavily.
Xie Chao has been mourning for several months, washing his face with tears every day, his body has long been weak, and he used all his strength to move little by little, making the force too great, tearing his clothes, falling his hands full of blood, still clenching his teeth, his shoes fell aside, regardless of it, until he pulled Zhang Meng to Xie Yan's tombstone, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Countless kneeling and worshipping, countless kowtows, covered in dust, blood-stained faces, and the people around them were miserable, Xie Ju and Xie Yu followed behind and knelt, only Zhang Meng gasped, prostrate on the ground, closed his eyes, and did not dare to look at the tombstone.
Xie Mingzu cried for half an hour, and then the head on the ground was raised suddenly, his hideous face and blood-red eyes, just like the yin of the underworld looked terrible, and he even crawled and pounced on Zhang Meng, tearing the clothes on the other party's belly, and Zhang Meng opened his mouth in surprise and trembled: "Yes, yes, what are you doing!" ”
"Hahahaha." Xie Ming's expression was already a little crazy, he ripped his shirt to shreds, his hands were like eagle claws, and he struggled to grasp the other party's belly, his skin was scratched vigorously, and Zhang Meng, who was in pain, roared fiercely: "Give me a pleasure, ask the general to give a pleasure!" The eyes full of longing for a quick death couldn't help but make Xie Yu lower his head.
Even scratching, opening his teeth and biting hard, finally, digging out a hole in that abdomen, Zhang Meng was sweating profusely, he didn't faint in pain, his whole face was twisted together, watching his stomach was dug out of a hole by Xie Ming, grabbing his intestines and gobbling it up, and his bloody arm was pulled up along his stomach, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah", and there was no sound.
How much hatred is this, Xie Chao chewed on the broken intestines in his mouth, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, his whole eyes were red, and the tip of his nose made a long "mm~・mmmm~~" sound that made people feel pimples, which seemed to be satisfaction and seemed to be a catharsis of hatred.
His right hand groped back and forth from his stomach to his chest, and after a moment of effort, he seemed to have caught something, which made his expression extremely excited.
Xie Juqiang endured the upsurge in his abdomen, watched Xie Chao scream bitterly, and pulled out the heart that was steaming and still beating "bang", his eyes were full of brilliance, and he actually smiled in his mouth: "Heh~~~~" The voice went from high to low, as if a person who was about to die made the last sound, and his face was indeed covered with divine light.
"Poof" Xie Ming's eyes were wide open, and he brought his hand to his mouth, the blood vessels like hemp rope were still connected to the body, and with the blood supply of the weakly beating heart, the blood splashed at the fracture, dyeing Xie Yan's tombstone red, that disgusting scene, a scene that people will never forget for a lifetime.
Everyone closed their eyes and didn't look at Xie Ju until Xie Chao was exhausted and lay on Zhang Meng's corpse, Xie Yu opened his eyes, waved his hand to let the servants come over and carry Xie Chao away, reached out and pulled out Xie Ju's waist knife, and slashed at Zhang Meng's neck where he stared at and stuck out his tongue
Purple Cloud Tower
At the beginning of the lanterns, this restaurant that has been among the first-class restaurants in Kyoto in just a few months is now welcoming its heyday, and the literati, dignitaries and nobles are laughing, or making trouble, or raising their swords and dancing drunk, or standing on the tables and chairs and scolding, all of which are nothing more than borrowing wine to be happy or dissipate sorrows, and from time to time there is the sound of broken porcelain, and the busy men will rush over there and clean up.
Qinglong stood in front of the building and greeted every customer who came enthusiastically, looking at the smiling face and skillful gestures, it has long been a skilled and extraordinary shopkeeper posture, and anyone will smile at the day of the gold-making business.
"Shopkeeper! Good deal! ”
Qinglong suddenly heard this familiar voice, turned around and smiled: "Gongzi Xie is here, Ziyun Tower is really full of brilliance!" ”
"The shopkeeper is smart and smart, and he is improving every day!" Xie Yu said with a smile.
"Childe is really tormented." Qinglong's nose sweated when he listened, and he smiled.
Xie Yu took out a yellowed piece of paper from his arms, stuffed it into Qinglong's arms and said, "The mansion on the bank of the Qinhuai River is quiet and elegant. ”
Qinglong was overjoyed when he heard this, you must know that both sides of the Qinhuai River are dominated by shops, even if there are mansions, they are all mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles, who wants to buy a property there, either rich or expensive, I can't imagine that the young landlord can find a place to live for his two brothers there, and his heart is full of gratitude.
"There's a guest in the private room upstairs!" Qinglong pressed his hand on the robe and shouted loudly, that posture made Xie Yu laugh when he saw it.
Walking into the building, there were clerical officials who knew each other everywhere and stepped forward to salute, greeting, inviting each other here, inviting each other there, so that Xie Yu smiled on his face, and he was really tired of it, seeing that the stairs were blocked tightly and difficult to go up, he couldn't help but say loudly: "Brothers, Xie Mou came to meet friends, please raise your hand!" ”
These people sincerely invited each other, huddled together, they were already sweating profusely, and they sincerely prayed to God and worship the Buddha.
If you have eyes, you must have no eyes to set off, and in the past few months, many officials from other counties have moved to the city, and the young master of the son held a fan in one hand, and said with a smile: "Song's father is the new secretary of the ancestral hall, and I also ask Gongzi Xie to appreciate his face, and talk about it in the private room." ”
Xie Yu stayed in the crowd, it was really hot, I wanted to roll up my sleeves, and I was afraid of people's jokes, and I heard that this eyeless guy actually put together his family background, and I couldn't help laughing in my heart, at this time, the ancestral hall was still in the Jin Dynasty, and it was indeed not much power, but it was only responsible for the royal sacrifices and the improvement of some etiquette.
As soon as he wanted to say no, he heard someone upstairs say aloud: "Brother Yu'er is still rubbing something down there, come up quickly." ”
When I looked up, it was Wang Yu, who was squinting and obviously snickering, who spoke, hurriedly bowed to everyone in return, lifted his robe and kicked upstairs.
That Song Gongzi opened his mouth dumbly and said: "Who is this, why is he so rude, people are inviting Xie Gongzi, he is interjecting and doing something." ”
Someone next to him hurriedly dragged him and whispered: "That's Wang Yu, the son of the Wang family, the word Shuhong, the official to the Huangmen Shilang, Wang Xie Erfu is broken and the silk is connected, how can we wait for us to climb, let's go for a walk, let's go drinking." ”
Song Gongzi listened to this introduction, then nodded angrily, followed the unfamiliar introducer in front of him and turned upstairs, hugged his fists and praised the other party for being well-informed, indeed well-informed, he didn't invite Xie Yu, but he was indeed invited to report his home, I have to say that in this world, if you don't have a delicate mind to enter this career, you really can't get involved.
