Chapter 67: Concealment (1)

Ling Yuanhang ran into the house. It was quiet inside, only the two girls in apricot and pink were in front of the bed. One of the two heads sits, the other standing, wiping the sweat from Yaru's face from time to time. Hearing the movement, the two turned around, and when they saw that it was Ling Yuanhang, they suddenly felt infinite guilt and grievances, and tears fell without knowing it.

Ling Yuanhang rushed to the bed, he stretched out his hand and trembled and stroked Yaru's pale little face, feeling distressed in his heart.

At this time, Guan Long and Guan Hu walked in and saluted Ling Yuan. Ling Yuanhang asked them, "Say it." What the hell is going on?"

So the two of them told the story in detail from last night to this morning. Finally, they said: "Ninety-one brothers and sisters were killed in the battle. They were all in the courtyard where Ling Yi lived now.

Ling Yuanhang glanced at Yaru, who was still sleeping, and said to Guan Long and Guan Hu sadly: "You are optimistic about Aru, I'll go and see them." As he spoke, he walked out with heavy steps.

In the courtyard where Ling Yi and the others lived, there were ninety-one people lying side by side, all of them covered with white cloths. Ling Yi and the others were sitting there in a daze, watching these dead brothers. There was burnt paper money next to it.

Ling Yuanhang came in with his people, he didn't say anything, but solemnly knelt down in front of the ninety-one brothers and sisters who had died to protect Yaru. Ling Yi hurriedly came over: "Lord Shizi, you are like this. Ling Qi: They will be uneasy. ”

Tears welled up in Ling Yuanhang's eyes, and he said sadly: "They died for my wife, they have no way to accept my thanks, and I can only do this." ”

Ah Yuan took the paper money, and Ling Yuanhang knelt and burned the paper. Then he got up and asked Ling Yi, "Did you order the coffin?"

Ling Yi said: "Mayor Guo has already ordered it, and it can be delivered in the evening." Then Ling Yi took the lead and knelt down: "Shizi, we didn't keep Xiao Shizi, you punish us." ”

Ling Yuanhang first helped him up with his own hands, and then helped up the other government guards one by one. He touched the bare wounds on their bodies and said in a hoarse voice, "Brothers, you are all good, and it is because of you that Aru can still lie on the bed." I, Ling Yuanhang, thank you for your kindness in sacrificing your lives. As he spoke, he bowed deeply to everyone.

The guards were all moved by Ling Yuanhang. They say that they are the guards of the master's house, but if they say that they are not good, they are just servants of the county king's house. Their lives are not their own at all, but the masters of the county king's mansion, and the masters have the right to decide their life and death. But they were treated very well in the county king's mansion. Since the old marquis, he has never treated them as human beings. They also heard from Guan Long and Guan Hu about Yaru treating them as relatives and brothers and refusing to run away alone. This would make them hear that Ling Yuanhang respected their lives as well. They felt that it was worth it even if they died for such a master. At this time, their eyes were filled with tears.

In the evening, Mayor Guo and the villagers brought back the ninety-one coffins. Ling Yuanhang took a look, the wood of these coffins was not bad, and it could be seen that Mayor Guo had also worked hard. The villagers spontaneously came to help, sealed the coffin according to local customs, and rebuilt the mourning shed.

Yaru woke up in the middle of the night, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ling Yuanhang sitting beside her.

Ling Yuanhang saw her open her eyes and exclaimed in surprise: "Ru'er, you're awake." ”

Yaru looked at him, and then she slowly remembered what had happened yesterday and sat up anxiously. Ling Yuanhang hurriedly held her down: "Ru'er, what do you need, just tell me." ”

Yaru said anxiously: "Yuantu, I'm going to see them, are they all okay?"

Ling Yuanhang's eyes darkened and said, "Ru'er, let's go again tomorrow." Now your body is still very weak, and the doctor won't let you go out. ”

In fact, Yaru is equivalent to a small moon. In this colder day, Aru could not go out, nor could she grieve and weep excessively. But Ling Yuanhang couldn't say this to Yaru, he wanted to hide this matter. Don't let her know that she was pregnant, and she lost the baby. He was afraid that Yaru would not be able to stand the blow, so he could only say that she was weak. The subordinates outside also instructed that no one should be allowed to disclose the news.

Yaru still asked, "You tell me, are they okay?" ”

Ling Yuanhang's eyes were a little dodgy: "Aru, some of them are injured." ”

Yaru stared into his eyes: "No, yesterday I saw some people fall and tell me how many brothers I lost?"

Ling Yuanhang knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he had to say, "Eighty-one brothers, ten sisters." ”

Yaru's eyes darkened, and she fainted again. By the time she woke up again, it was already dawn.

Ling Yuanhang personally fed her, Yaru hadn't spoken since she woke up, and she didn't cry. But she is very obedient, she washes when she asks her to wash, and she eats when she asks her to eat. Ling Yuanhang and the girls were careful in their hearts.

After Yaru finished eating, she collapsed on the bed and went back to sleep. After two days of this state, Yaru suddenly became energetic, and she asked Ling Yuanhang: "Yuanhang, today is the day of their funeral." I've taken care of my body in the past two days, I already feel strong in my body, I'm going to send them off, none of you need to persuade me, you can't persuade me, I must go. ”

Ling Yuanhang is difficult, what can I do. This couldn't be persuaded either, so he had to say to Xinghong and Peach: "Wear more clothes for the princess." Then he went out to prepare the wagon.

Today is indeed the day of the funeral. At the gate of Ling Yi's courtyard, a lot of villagers had gathered, some of them came to help, and some of them came to give these young children a ride.

When Ling Yuanhang and Yaru's carriage appeared, everyone automatically gave way to a road. Ling Yuanhang personally helped Yaru get out of the car and walked towards the courtyard.

Ling Yi in the courtyard, they were discussing something with Mayor Guo. When he looked up and saw Yaru coming, he was taken aback, he knew that Yaru couldn't blow the wind. Although now it looks like she is wrapped very tightly and warm. But I am also afraid that there will be an evil wind invading. So he hurriedly said, "Princess, why are you here? It's cold here, your body is still very weak, you hurry to the house." ”

Yaru shook her head, she took the incense in Xinghong's hand, lit it, and bowed to the spiritual seat. Then she walked slowly, touching the coffins one by one with her slender and thin fingers, and strings of tears fell from her eyes.

Seeing Yaru's silent crying, Peach and Apricot cried first. Then the crying in the courtyard became louder and louder. Everyone vented the pent-up emotions of the past few days at this time. The villagers were also moved, and many of them also sobbed softly.

The long funeral procession flows slowly through the streets of Guojia Town like a long river, and today Guojia Town is covered with white flags and a white world. The heavy breath pressed on the sky above Guojiazhen and pressed on the bottom of people's hearts. Many years later, the people of Guojia Town will not forget that on this long white street, there were once ninety-one young lives lying in ninety-one coffins and walking heavily from here. At the front of the funeral procession was a young general and his wife, who had just had a miscarriage and was still in the middle of a small month, but insisted on the funeral.

Because Yaru is going to have a small month, she can't go to Feicheng for the time being. So Ling Yuanhang wrote a letter to his father and asked his subordinates to send it back to Feicheng. Ling Yuanhang told his father in detail what happened here. He told his father that he was going to stay here with Aru for the confinement period and then go back.

On this day, Ling Yuanhang was sitting with Yaru. Yaru suddenly said: "It's strange to say that I have been dreaming lately. And it's the same dream. ”

Ling Yuanhang asked her, "What kind of dream did Ru'er have, so strange, let's hear it." ”

Ling Yuanhang's heart ached, his eyes were red, but he was afraid that Yaru would see it, so he got up and pretended to bring water to Yaru, taking the opportunity to adjust his mood, and then he turned around and handed the water to Yaru, and said with a smile: "Ru'er, do you want to have a child who is a husband." When you're well, we'll give birth to one. ”

Yaru blushed, and she said, "Let's let it be, he came when he should have come." ”

Ling Yuanhang immediately replied: "Yes, our child must be as beautiful as Ru'er and you." ”

Yaru thought for a while and said, "Yuanhang, after the doctor allows me to go out, I want to go back to the capital." There are still many things to do in the capital, and I will help you and your father find out the news in the capital. ”

Ling Yuanhang said: "It's okay, I'll arrange it and let someone send you back." ”

Outside, Xinghong stood in front of Guan Hu, she looked at Guan Hu with concern and said, "Brother Guan Hu, are your shoulders better?"

Guan Hu smiled at her and said, "It's much better, the doctor's medicine is very effective, and I don't feel any pain now." As he spoke, he shook his left arm.

Xinghong smiled shyly and said, "Brother Guan, thanks to you that day, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand here today." My life was given by Brother Guan, and I don't know how to thank you. ”

Guan Hu said with a big grin: "Xinghong, don't think so, I don't need you to thank you, as long as you serve our young lady well, it is the greatest thank you to me." ”

Xinghong responded, and then she took out a small bag from behind her with a red face and handed it to Guan Hu: "Brother Guan, these are the shoes I made for you, as a small thank you gift, please accept them." ”

Guan Hu happily took it and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Miss Xinghong, this gift is good, I like it." ”

Xinghong whispered: "Brother Guan likes it, I'll make it for you in the future." After saying that, he hurriedly left with a red face.

Guan Hu held his shoes and smiled, he looked left and right, not to mention how happy he was. Even he didn't understand why he was so happy to have a new pair of shoes.

Guan Long came over and quipped: "Yo, I see that the Xinghong girl just left from here." These shoes of yours were made by the apricot girl, right?"

Guan Hu grinned and said, "This girl is careful, I saved her that day, and she remembered it." No, they made me a pair of shoes. Hey, don't say it, this girl's craftsmanship is really good. You see how dense the stitches are. ”

Guan Long smiled and said, "I said brother, you are too careless. I don't think the girl is a person who makes shoes for others as soon as she is grateful. You, after a while, go and propose to the princess. ”

Guan Hu asked uncertainly, "You mean, Miss Xinghong is interested in me?"

Guan Long patted him: "By the way, silly boy, your Hongluan Star has moved." ”
