Chapter 180: Sacrifice

Xiao Yao returned to the back room, took the red envelope on the quilt, untied it, and put a long shirt inside. I compared it to my figure, not big or small, but there was only one sleeve on the long shirt, and there were a few edges that were not sewn.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, Xiao Yao's whole body was shocked, and he raised his head suddenly, with a look of ecstasy on his face. He threw away his clothes and ran out of the house.

The moment you run out of the house, time seems to stand still, and the whole world freezes in an instant. The two of them stared at each other in the courtyard, motionless. After a long time, the two of them spoke at the same time: "You..." but stopped at the same time.

The first time Xiao Yao saw the other party, he was a little disappointed because he didn't see Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, and at the same time, because he saw her, a kind of joy arose when he was reunited after a long absence. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Hello Miss~"

Rushuang was stunned there, as if she hadn't heard his words, and the tears in her eyes swirled, slowly overflowing, and slipped down from the corners of her eyes. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Yao's face, and he couldn't take it off anymore, without sadness or joy, as if he had lost his soul.

After a while, the eldest lady stepped forward, came to Xiao Yao's side, slowly raised her hands to support Xiao Yao's arms, clasped his two arms tightly with her ten fingers, raised her head and looked directly at Xiao Yao's eyes with her eyes that were drowned in tears, gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you come back!" You say! Why did you come back!! From the whispered question at first, to the wailing and crying questioning at the back.

The tears of the eldest lady gushed out like a flood that had burst its embankment. I couldn't care about any courtesy, righteousness and shame anymore, and threw myself into his arms, and kept muttering: "Why did you come back" Heartbroken, crying silently, it reached Xiao Yao's ears, and it hurt his heart.

Tears soaked Xiao Yao's chest, and on this hot summer day, he felt a chill spread to his heart through his clothes. Listening to the heartbroken cry of the eldest lady, Xiao Yao was even more panicked. Suddenly, a season of pain came from his chest, and he looked down to see that the eldest lady's mouth had just opened.

seemed to feel Xiao Yao's gaze, raised his head and glanced at Xiao Yao, the huge burden that had been pressed in his heart for this time disappeared instantly, he closed his eyes with a wry smile and fainted.

The eldest lady seemed to have had a long dream, and when she woke up, she was still lying in Xiao Yao's arms, and at this time, she found that her face was instantly red, and she struggled to sit up from his arms, only to find that this was on the kang in the back house of Uncle Wang's house, and behind Xiao Yao, there were two strangers sitting, and her face was even more red.

Xiao Yao didn't care about this, although he basically had the answer in his heart, he still asked the eldest lady with a glimmer of hope, "Why did you come here?" What about Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, and their two elders? What happened during my absence? After asking, he stared at her eyes without squinting, wishing that his guesses were all wrong.

Hearing this, the eldest lady leaned against the wall, clasped her hands on her knees, put her head on her knees, did not dare to look at Xiao Yao, and stared at one place with a sloppy look. After a few breaths, he slowly spoke: "The two elders were killed at home, and all of them were cut by people with swords. When he was discovered, the second elder's body was already cold" After finishing speaking, tears fell out of his eyes uncontrollably, and he sobbed silently.

Xiao Yao listened to the eldest lady's words with an expressionless face, and when she finished speaking, there was still no trace of sadness on her face. Instead, he said flatly: "Where is the second elder buried?" If you know, take me now. ”

The status of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang in Xiao Yao's heart, the eldest lady was clear, listened to his words at this time, nodded, and immediately got up and went to the ground, wanting to walk out. I only heard Ling Xuan say: "It's getting late outside, why don't we find a place to live first, and then tomorrow."

"Shut up!" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xiao Yao's cold voice and walked straight out of the house. The aggrieved Ling Xuan trembled angrily, her fists were clenched, her teeth were clenched, and when Xiao Yao's figure disappeared in front of her, after a long time, she looked up to the sky and roared, and she actually cried aggrievedly. I had a good heart, but I didn't expect him to be so fierce to myself, and I wanted to tear him to pieces at this time.

Nangong Shi scratched his head, standing beside Ling Xuan at a loss, it was the first time he saw a girl crying other than his sister, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to stand aside and hesitate, neither to go, nor to stay, and he was anxious in his heart.

"Hey, big man, why don't you go with him?" After a little cry, he wiped away his tears and asked Nangong Shi behind him.

"He has that girl with him, and when I go again, there will be no one to accompany you, it's too lonely." Thinking so in my heart, I also said so. Ling Xuan suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, smiled and shed a few tears, and laughed. Heart, such a stupid big man.

"Let's go, let's go with him." Ling Xuan wiped away her tears again, smiled at Nangong Shi, and pulled him outside.

Xiao Yao bought some sacrificial things along the way, and went all the way to a wasteland in the east of the city with the eldest lady. A lonely grave, a tombstone, the stele is engraved with "Uncle Wang's Tomb and Aunt Wang's Tomb" several eye-catching characters, nothing else, the weeds around the lonely grave have been pulled out, leaving a small open space, apparently carefully repaired.

Kneel in front of the tomb, light two candles, put a jar of water and wine, a plate of roast chicken, a plate of roast duck, a plate of beef, and a plate of pork knuckle. lit the paper money, put it in front of the tombstone, looked at the qiē in front of him, and muttered, "Uncle, aunt, I came to see you." Eat it, you were reluctant to eat it before you died, and now Xiao Yao will bring it to you. If you lack something over there, tell me in your dreams. ”

At night, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the eastern outskirts of Qinglong, spreading a layer of silver sand on the ground. As soon as a wisp of green smoke rose from the tombstone, it was blown away by the breeze between heaven and earth. The paper money burned out, and only two broken candles were left reflecting each other, and the weak flames danced in the wind, but they were never extinguished.

"Can the government find the murderer?" Xiao Yao still knelt in front of the tomb and asked the eldest lady who was kneeling beside him.

With a sigh, he answered Xiao Yao's question and expressed how sad he was. Endured the pain in his heart, turned his head to look at Xiao Yao, and said: "After suing the official, the government just sent a servant to the scene to investigate, and then it was over. How can you work hard to investigate a case for a poor family like your uncle and aunt's family! Speaking of this, she could only sigh helplessly, how could she be a woman who could control these things.

"Hehe, poor people! If the official is not for the people, what is the use of keeping him! Xiao Yao sneered three times, and Huo Ran got up. Raising his head and looking at the bright moon in the sky, he said in his heart, uncle, aunt, you watch it well in the sky, Xiao Yao will definitely seek justice for you! Rest assured, you will never be alone, because there will be many people to accompany you.
