Ling Yunjun was stunned for a moment, and said: "Ah Ting's son can be described as peerless in the world, how dare I compare with him as a country man, the girl laughed." ”

Sima Piaoxue smiled: "It turns out that his name is Ah Ting, and it really sounds like a girl's name." In fact, Ah Xi is just speaking according to the truth, since he is so involved, I wonder if the son can enjoy his face and drink a drink?"

Ling Yunjun saw Sima Piaoxue, gentle and graceful, dignified and beautiful, he didn't dare to look directly, and said, "Please forgive me for being rude, I never drink alcohol in my subordinates." ”

Ah Xi said: "Childe, my young lady has never invited a man to drink, why is it so disappointing?"

Ling Yunjun said: "I really don't drink alcohol in the next place, I'm really ashamed, since the girl didn't dare to lose her politeness when she was invited, I toasted the girl with tea instead of wine." "Carrying the teacup and drinking it all.

Sima Piaoxue smiled happily: "Childe is quick to talk, admire." In fact, the little woman never drinks, and today she has to see her son again, so she wants to respect her son on a whim. Since Childe doesn't drink alcohol, we can also drink tea and chat, I don't know?"

Ling Yunjun was worried about Liu Tingting in his heart, and just wanted to find her as soon as possible, and said, "I have important things to do, if I have time, I will definitely accompany the girl to drink tea and chat." I will say goodbye today, please bear with me if I am rude. "Get up and walk away.

Sima Piaoxue hurriedly got up and asked, "Childe, do you have any important matters, can you tell me about it, maybe we can help too." ”

Ling Yunjun said: "Find someone." ”

Sima Piaoxue walked up to Ling Yunjun and asked, "Is Childe looking for Childe Ating?"

Ling Yunjun nodded and asked, "How does the girl know?"

Sima Piaoxue smiled and said, "Childe writes all his thoughts on his face, can people not guess it?"

Ling Yunjun hurriedly touched his face and asked, "Is there one?" Only then did he have an epiphany and said, "The girl is really good at laughing." ”

Sima Piaoxue smiled and said: "Looking at the charm of the son, it seems that I have seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember it." ”

Ling Yunjun thought of the appearance of the two of them when he saw them in the mountains and forests, and he didn't know how to explain it, paused, and strolled out of the inn.

Sima Piaoxue followed and walked out, and when she saw the sword holster he was carrying, she was surprised and said, "Childe's sword holster seems to have been seen in the mountains and forests, dare to ask Childe if he is the one who helped us?"

Ah Xi looked at Ling Yunjun's hand when she said this, and said in surprise: "Could it really be you, the more you walk, the more you look like it, but you don't know that you are such a handsome son." He giggled.

Ling Yunjun said: "I dare not take the words of helping each other, I should say that it is the two who help each other." ”

Sima Piaoxue saw Ling Yunjun's expression in the mountains and forests at that time, and felt that he was just a young man, and sure enough, as she expected, she smiled and said: "No matter who helps whom, we are also fated, why don't we know each other and go to the rivers and lakes together?"

Ling Yunjun said: "The people who are rough down there don't understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes at all, but they are afraid that they will cause disasters and affect the two of them." As he spoke, he walked to the alley that forked into Ping'er's house, and couldn't help but think of Ping'er's matter, guessing if Liu Tingting would go somewhere, so he turned around and walked towards the alley.

Sima Piaoxue and Ah Xi followed, looking around. Ah Xi asked, "Young Master Ling, something happened in the Junhou Mansion last night, do you know?"

Ling Yunjun was stunned when he heard this, afraid that he would affect Liu Tingting, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Ah Xi said: "The marquis and his son were captured and killed and hung on the city gate. The thunder struck and shattered the tree, and the fragments of the tree pierced the corpses of the two people, and the two of them were like two hedgehogs. Many of the samurai were also shocked to death, I don't know if it was man-made or cursed?"

Ling Yunjun recalled the scene of last night, and felt a faint pain in his heart, and said: "It is forgivable to do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do it yourself." ”

Ah Xi said: "These people are simply going to rebel, and they dare to intercept and kill the officials of the imperial court, which is really hateful." ”

Ling Yunjun heard that her words were disrespectful to Liu Tingting, and his arrogance rose suddenly, and he said coldly: "Although he is an official of the imperial court, he does not make profits for the people, but colludes with bandits to sell girls, which is worse than a bad person." At present, the court doesn't care, and the people in the rivers and lakes don't care, so this dog official will be unscrupulous. If he doesn't die for a day, I don't know how many girls he will harm, you don't scold him for dying, but for scolding the righteous people for being hateful, I think you are hateful!"

Ah Xi said angrily: "I didn't say anything about you, why did you scold me, I said that you are a ......" Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Sima Piaoxue.

Ling Yunjun glanced at her and said, "The people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, and the world is not up to the imperial court." When a righteous person does a righteous thing, it is not right for you to scold anyone. "Shake your head and walk forward.

Seeing that Ah Xi wanted to fight back, Sima Piaoxue hurriedly stopped her, followed silently, and said softly: "Even so, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and he should be convicted and punished by the imperial court." ”

Ling Yunjun said: "The imperial court will only exist in prosperous places, and it will disappear in places where the people are in dire straits. The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel!"

Ah Xi said angrily: "Could it be that you are also a rebel?"

Ling Yunjun stopped and looked at Ah Xi coldly, and said angrily: "If all the officials in the world are like this, everyone will become a rebel." Naturally, I will be, even if I can't turn things around, I can kill the unconscious officials, and even if I can't save Li Min, I can alleviate some of his suffering!"

Ah Xi said angrily: "You ......"

Sima Piaoxue grabbed it and said, "Ah Xi, I don't think the matter is so serious." After speaking, he said to Ling Yunjun: "Childe, the world is so big, it is inevitable that officials will be uneven, and naturally there will be places where evil officials will run rampant." The imperial court is in charge of the world, not just Xiushan County, not just Dali City, and it is understandable that it failed to take care of it for a while. ”

Ling Yunjun felt that what she said was also reasonable, sighed lightly, and said: "Since the imperial court failed to take care of it for a while, why can't the people of the rivers and lakes punish it on their behalf, but how can it become the anti-thief in her mouth?" After speaking, he turned around and pushed open the wooden door of Ping'er's house, and the scene in front of him surprised him.

Strips of patched white cloth hung in the living room, and a straw mat wrapped in the old man's body was placed in the hall, which was empty.

Seeing such a shabby situation, Sima Piaoxue and the others were heartbroken and couldn't bear it, and they hung their heads and were silent.

Ling Yunjun walked to the straw mat and knelt down, bowing three times. Hearing a few heavy footsteps entering the hut, he turned his head to see a young and beautiful woman wearing filial piety, this person was Ping'er. Four men behind her came in with a coffin.

Seeing that the three of them stopped, Ping'er walked up to Ling Yunjun and asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi but Ling Shaoxia?"

Ling Yunjun got up and nodded: "Don't dare to be, it's down there, the girl is Ping'er, right?"

Ping'er hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for saving the young man......"

Ling Yunjun hurriedly helped her up and said, "Girl, it's not that I saved you, but my son-in-law saved you." ”

Ping'er's face was full of tears, and she still cried. After a while, she stabilized her mood and invited Ling Yunjun and Sima Piaoxue to sit at a shabby wooden table. He also led the four men to put down the coffin, deal with related matters, and brewed a pot of "pine hair tea", poured it for the three of them, and said: "The family is poor, and there is no good tea to entertain." Although this tea was picked by yourself, it is not bad, and please don't dislike it. ”

Ling Yunjun said: "I'm ashamed, when my son and I arrived yesterday, the old man was seriously injured, and I am really sorry for not being able to save the old man." ”

Ping'er cried again and again, and said: "The two sons have actually saved Daddy without hindrance, and on the way home when I was rescued by Ting Gongzi, I saw countless soldiers all over the streets and alleys. Before I got home from a side alley, I saw a few soldiers rushing out of the house, and I knew that a catastrophe was coming. When I rushed home, Daddy had already ......" At this point, I was so choked up that I couldn't speak, and my crying couldn't be suppressed.

Ling Yunjun glanced at Ah Xi fiercely, Ah Xi was faceless, and hung his head silently.

Ling Yunjun comforted Ping'er and said, "Maybe in this dire world, it is also a relief for the old man to go to Bliss, you don't have to be too sad." ”

Ping'er's crying voice decreased, and said, "Ah Ting Gongzi came last night, and the words to comfort me are the same as Ling Gongzi's." Later, he left me two silver taels and asked me to deal with my father's funeral...... I really don't know how to thank Ah Ting Gongzi and Ling Gongzi for such a great favor. After finishing speaking, he knelt down and deducted three songs from Ling Yunjun.

Ling Yunjun hurriedly helped her up and said, "Ah Ting's son is extremely thoughtful, he saved me, I don't even know how to thank him." Let's be blessed together, don't see each other like that again. ”

Ping'er is grateful in her heart, so it's better to say how to sit down.

Ling Yunjun asked, "Did Ah Ting Gongzi say where he was going?"

Ping'er shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything, I paused a little and hurried away." He said that there will be a life-saving benefactor this morning, a son surnamed Ling will come, and I will know that it is Ling Gongzi when I see you. ”

Ling Yunjun said: "Ah Ting's son is really thoughtful, what else did he say?"

Ping'er said: "He said that Ling Gongzi would come to help me deal with Daddy's funeral, so I don't have to worry too much." It's just that I dare to bother my life-saving benefactor anymore, I am really guilty. ”

Ling Yunjun said: "Ah Ting's son has worked thousands of miles, knows people's thoughts, and is admirable. Ping'er, don't be polite, even if Ah Ting doesn't say it, I will help you finish the old man's funeral. ”

The four men had already placed the old man's body in the coffin and tied up the carrying pole. A man came over and asked, "Girl, can you get out of the mountain after everything has been done?"

Ping'er picked up the old Han Ling card and said, "Ling Gongzi, I bother you to lead the way in front, for sprinkling white drift and paper money." The two young ladies also ask for help, and Da En will report it later. ”

Ling Yunjun tore off a piece of white cloth and tied it to his head, led a long white cloth belt in front of the coffin, and walked forward.

Sima Piaoxue also tore off a white cloth belt and tied it to his head, took the bamboo basket in Ling Yunjun's hand, and said, "Childe, I'll sprinkle white fluttering and paper money for the old man." ”

Ling Yunjun nodded and handed her the bamboo basket, "Thank you." ”

Sima Piaoxue smiled slightly and said nothing, walking in front of Ling Yunjun. Grabbed a handful of paper money and sprinkled it into the sky, and said, "Go!"

Ping'er followed behind Piaoxue with the spirit card and walked forward, tears of excitement and sadness poured down, and the crying continued.

Ling Yunjun pulled a long white cloth belt and led the four Chinese characters to carry the coffin and follow Ping'er.

Ah Xi had also torn off a white cloth belt and tied it to his head, carried two benches, and carried a bamboo basket full of paper money to throw paper money behind the four Chinese characters.

The group walked slowly, out of the alley, out of the city gate, and up the path to the mountain.

There is a custom that people here carry coffins up the mountain, and coffins on the way cannot fall to the ground. Even if the person carrying the coffin wants to rest, the coffin must be placed on top of the bench.

The four men were burly and strong, but they also rested twice along the way.

Ah Xi would place the bench under the coffin when they were about to rest, and the four of them would put the coffin on the bench before resting. When it was time to set off, the four of them carried the coffin first, and Ah Xi moved the bench away before moving on.
