Chapter 93: Be responsible
Xie San was indeed very excited to see the word "jade pendant" on the white steward's suicide note, but what the jade pendant looked like, he couldn't tell anyone. In the face of Lin Zhutou's repeated questions, Xie San could only vaguely reveal the topic, under the pretext that he had other things, turned the horse's head and left.
Outside the courtyard gate of He Daxu's house, the onlookers have all dispersed. He Huan went and returned, and the left-behind catcher knew that he was familiar with Lin Zhutou and Xie San, and did not embarrass her.
He Huan heard that the catcher said that she was in the house, she walked to the door, and when she looked up, she saw a man's corpse lying on the ground, staring at her with two eyes. On the floor, on the wall, his clothes were covered in blood, the wound on his neck was so clear and horrific that she could almost see the flesh turned open.
For a moment, He Huan only felt a churning in her stomach, coupled with the strong smell of blood in the room, she finally understood why Xie San was blocking her view.
"Gross!" He Huan covered his mouth and ran to the corner of the yard, vomiting breathlessly, not only vomiting out breakfast, but also vomiting the acid water in his stomach.
Xie San returned to the gate of the courtyard, and saw He Huan kneeling in the corner with his back to him, patting his chest and gasping. "Didn't you stop looking? What are you doing again! He walked towards He Huan.
He Huan was startled when he heard his voice, and hurriedly stood up, only to feel that his legs were weak and he stumbled. She stretched out her hand to hold the fence, barely standing up straight, and hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, using her body to block the filth she had vomited.
Xie San saw that she was spitting out tears, looking pitiful, he only felt funny, and blurted out: "This is called a dog biting Lu Dongbin." I don't know the hearts of good people. ”
He Huan didn't hear his words clearly. I felt sick to my stomach again. I turned around and retched against the wall, but I couldn't vomit anything.
Xie San raised his voice and ordered: "Go and get a bowl of water for Miss He to rinse her mouth!" ”
The catcher at the door didn't dare to snub Xie San, and hurriedly went to the house next door to ask for a bowl of water.
He Huan took the small bowl from Xie San's hand, took a sip, and drank two more sips, only then did he ease up. Seeing him looking at herself with a smile, she only felt ashamed and angry, and she couldn't blame him. can only explain in a low voice: "Last time on the street, I saw a black turban man killing, I thought it was ......" Thinking that He Daxu's body was in the house, she couldn't help but shudder.
"What are you doing back again?" Xie San decided to forget the picture of her and Shen Jinglun looking at each other ambiguously, anyway, it was none of his business who she married.
He Huan didn't answer and asked: "Were you angry before?" ”
"What am I angry about?" Xie San turned his back in embarrassment and asked her why she had turned back. Hearing He Huan say the reason, he shook his head and said, "You think too much, although you cut your throat, you also saw it." The black scarf man who killed Li Wenpo died on the spot. ”
He Huan wrinkled his nose and whispered, "I don't understand these things. It's just that...... Well, I don't think you have to cut your throat to kill someone, right? Killing people in such a terrible way is like ...... The murderer is here to kill people......"
"Do you think a murderer is a killer? Is this buying homicide? Xie San looked at He Huan sideways. Cutting his throat is indeed a special method of killing, maybe it was really done by a professional killer, but he judged from He Daxu's body that the murderer was knifed from behind him, and there was no sign of breaking into the house, so it is very likely that the two knew each other, and even He Daxu had a certain trust in him.
He Huan vomited for a while, only to feel that his hands and feet were soft, and the sun was shining badly. She no longer had the courage to go back to the house to talk to Qi Zuo, so she could only plead with Xie San: "Third Master Xie, can you help me ask Zhu Zuo, the wounds of He Daxu and Li Wenpo......
"You're so stubborn!" Xie San interrupted her, and continued: "I know that you suspect that it was the remnants of the Black Turban who killed people and killed them. In fact, even if they received the same training and practiced the same martial arts, the results of each person's practice were different, so from the wounds of the deceased, it was impossible to tell whether the murderers of them were the same people. ”
When He Huan heard this, he couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and looked down at his skirt.
In a brief silence, he yelled at him to help him carry the body away. Xie San heard the footsteps and turned sideways in front of He Huan.
He Huan only felt that the scorching sunlight had disappeared, and the whole person was shrouded in his figure. Since she was ten years old, she has taken care of others, and after marrying Shen Jinglun, she also took care of him as a wife. She has long been used to taking care of others, but at this moment, Xie San is taking care of her, this is not the first time, and a subtle feeling rises in her heart.
There was silence again, and the footsteps of the trappers faded away.
"I thought you were going back to the capital."
"You shouldn't have turned it back."
The two of them spoke in unison, and shut up at the same time. Xie San took a step back and turned to look into the courtyard. Except for the only one left at the gate of the courtyard, everyone else had left. He looked back at He Huan, only to see that her face was as pale as snow, and there were still a little tears on her eyelashes, and her whole person was shaky.
"Sit down, I have something to ask you." Xie San pointed to the only small wooden bench in the courtyard, and sat on the wooden stake himself. Seeing He Huan raise his eyes and look at the bright sun, he muttered, "It's really troublesome." "I moved the little wooden bench to the shade of the tree by the flower bed.
He Huan watched him put down the small wooden stool, and then turned back to urge her with his eyes, and she had to follow his footsteps. She was so dizzy that she wanted to rest, so she unfolded the handkerchief in her hand, put it on the small wooden bench, turned the small wooden bench around, and sat down with her back to the room.
Xie San knew that she was still afraid, and he was a little helpless and at a loss for a while. He left his family before he was ten years old, and in the past few years, he has traveled from south to north, but all the people he can contact are men, and he doesn't even have a maid by his side. The so-called famous lady, the small jasper, just look at it from afar, after all, he can't marry whoever he wants, why provoke others? As for those who want to give his daughter to him as a concubine, he hasn't decided on a marriage yet, and he doesn't want his future wife to think that he is.
Xie San took a step back irritably, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and didn't know what to say for a while.
He Huan looked up at Xie San. She was sure that he must have come from an extraordinary background, but sometimes she thought he was too informal. She wanted to ask him: Who are you? Thinking about it, if she knew his identity, how could she sit in front of him with peace of mind? If the person in front of her was replaced by Shen Jinglun, she would not dare to sit down even if she was uncomfortable.
"Third Master Xie, what do you want to ask me?" He Huan broke the silence.
Xie San said casually: "You dared to assassinate the black turban man with a knife before, but now you are as timid as a mouse?" ”
"Third master, I have already said humility earlier, but it was I who was reckless and caused you to be injured......"
"I'm not blaming you, I just think it's weird." Xie San looked He Huan up and down, "Actually, you're really weird." ”
"What's wrong with me?"
Xie Sanyu stopped. He can't say, I don't think you are like a woman who is greedy for vanity, so you are bent on marrying Shen Jinglun, which is quite strange. In addition, he has "hugged" her twice, although it was to save her, but if it was another woman, he would have cried and shouted to marry him to "repay the favor", but she just said "Xie Lu Xie" sincerely. Is it because she doesn't know that it is more profitable to marry him?
Xie San didn't want to speculate on He Huan so maliciously, after all, she was very frank about people and things. But to put it in her heart, even if she didn't know who he was, how could he not compare to Shen Jinglun? Suddenly, he wanted to know how she would react if she knew who he was.
Xie San confirmed that there was no one else in the hospital, and pretended not to care much and said, "I'm just curious, don't you have any curiosity?" ”
"Curious about what?" He Huan was puzzled.
"You should know that I'm not the catcher of the six doors."
"So what?" He Huan looked sideways.
Xie San was speechless again.
"Who are you, you want me to ask you?" He Huan looked at him seriously, "What about after asking?" ”
"Everyone in the world is curious." Xie San said bluntly.
"You and I just met in the water." He Huan chuckled, "You will return to Beijing soon, and I will get married, maybe it won't take half a year, you will forget, you saved my life in Jizhou, and I just need to remember that there is a 'Xie Sanye' who once saved me, as for who your surname is in the capital, it doesn't matter to me." I don't think I'll ever go so far away from the capital in my life. ”
"So it's not that you're not curious, but you just don't want to know the way?" Xie San was inexplicably annoyed.
"You want me to know?" He Huan asked rhetorically.
Xie San once again didn't know how to answer.
"Actually, isn't it good now? I can sit in front of you calmly, worthy of you. You don't have to worry, I accidentally leaked my mouth in front of Uncle Shen; Don't be afraid, one day the He family's life will really not be able to go on, I will rely on you and force you to be responsible for me. ”
Xie San suddenly understood, she had already guessed the others, but she just didn't want to break it. He suddenly felt that he was like a harlequin on the stage in front of her. He was angry and regretful, inexplicably angry, and could only glare at her.
She sat on a small wooden bench in her white-washed old clothes, but she sat quietly like a lady sitting on an embroidered couch. Her face was very bad, but she did not show a sad and complaining look, but tried to keep a peaceful smile.
What kind of woman is she?
He inquired a little. At the age of fourteen, she turned against her cousin Lin Xi in order to marry Shen Jinglun. For three years, she relied on pawning the dowry left to her by her mother to support the stupid women of the He family. She intends to commit suicide in front of her parents' graves to escape reality. She is seventeen years old, and she doesn't know that she is no longer in her prime, and she is bent on marrying Shen Jinglun. She's a stupid, hopeless woman!
The more Xie San thought about it, the more angry he became. He told himself that she was blindly pestering Shen Jinglun, it must be because she knew that he would return to the capital soon, so he could only settle for the next best.
Suddenly, Xie San's head was hot, and he blurted out: "I can be responsible, take you as a concubine, and take you back to the capital." Touching her stunned gaze, he said hurriedly: "Don't worry, the people of your family, I will leave enough silver taels for them to live the rest of their lives in peace." (To be continued......)
PS: As Xie San, it is impossible for him to take care of others, he will subconsciously take care of others for what he wants, and he will explain it later.
