Chapter Seventy-Two: The Barren Backyard
Xie Jingchen quietly looked at the house in front of him.
The grass is overgrown, quiet and broken.
It was also a very lively place in the capital.
The young family has excellent medical skills, and how many people spend a lot of money to ask for the first shot of the young hospital.
Now only the locked gate remains, the mottled copper lock shows its vicissitudes, and the yellowed seal is blown away by the wind and scattered in the air.
And the weeds that grew next to the door showed its dilapidation.
That's the case, Xie Jingchen can only enter through the back door.
With the memory coming to the backyard of Shaofu, the potted flowers and plants decorated in the past have already grown unbridled and become the owners of this yard.
The originally well-repaired gravel road is also blocked from sight.
As Xie Jingchen walked, he recalled his childhood memories.
It seems that he met Shao Anrong for the first time here.
Childish and cute, she still holds her favorite rock sugar gourd in her hand.
Xie Jingchen tried to recall her face, but only a vague shadow remained.
Time is indeed the most terrifying force.
Xie Jingchen found a place where there were not too many weeds and arranged the objects he brought one by one.
The burning candles, the ashes of the dead money, I only hope that these can comfort the souls of the undead here.
Xie Jingchen finally took out a pot of sake and sprinkled it on the soil.
Just as he was about to return home, a gust of wind blew, blowing weeds and dead branches all over the courtyard.
"Who is it?"
Xie Jingchen's ears flickered, and he heard the sound of the wind.
"I saw you, and if you don't come out, I'm going to use force." Xie Jingchen said.
Years of experience on the border have made his intuition extremely sharp.
Just as he was about to make a move, a woman dressed in men's clothes walked out from behind the dead wood and rockery.
"Who are you?" Xie Jingchen asked vigilantly.
The young family is a criminal minister of the imperial court, and it is too late for ordinary people to avoid this mansion, so how can they appear here today.
If Xie Jin was here, he would be able to recognize that this woman was Sun Simiao.
"Who are you?" Sun Simiao looked at the man in front of him, why did he appear in this mansion.
Both of them looked at each other with wary expressions, and tension condensed in the air.
"You dare to worship the guilty ministers of the court, you are so bold." Sun Simiao looked at the incense candle paper money behind Xie Jingchen and guessed the approximately.
"Tell me, who are you?" Xie Jingchen looked at Sun Simiao, who was dressed in white, and grabbed her arm with lightning speed and asked.
"I was curious, and when I saw that the yard was in ruins, I wanted to come in and have a look. Let go of me, you're hurting me. ”
Xie Jingchen didn't take it lightly, and Sun Simiao only felt that his whole arm was not himself.
But her three-legged cat's kung fu couldn't break free.
At this moment, she suddenly regretted why she didn't be lazy when her master was teaching kung fu.
"Curious to come to the mansion of the court criminals?" Xie Jingchen didn't eat Sun Simiao's lies, and increased the strength in his hands.
"Tap, I said, I said it can't be done?" Sun Simiao begged for mercy.
"The owner of this mansion is kind to my family, and today is their death day, so I want to come and pay respects." Sun Simiao said, and even her expression became dark.
"How can I trust you." Xie Jingchen asked.
"This is an object left by the owner to my family, and I wanted my family to sell it for some silver to buy medicine. After my father recovered from his illness, he ransomed it back and made it into an heirloom. Sun Simiao took out an object.
Xie Jingchen saw that it was indeed the ancestral jade pendant of the Shao family, since this thing was this, it should be a person who had a very close relationship with the Shao family, and she was dressed in plain clothes, obviously to pay tribute to the Shao family, and the purpose of this trip should be the same as himself.
Thinking of this, the power in Xie Jingchen's hand gradually relaxed.
"I haven't asked you why you're in my father's mansion. The people of the capital are not secretive about their family, as if they have never been healed by them. You dare to come and worship, and you are not afraid that you will be accused of rebellion. ”
Sun Simiao said, with a slight sarcasm in her tone, as if she was laughing at those who had suffered the grace of saving the lives of the young family.
"Kill you, or no one will know I've been here." Xie Jingchen said coldly.
Sun Simiao was rubbing the shoulder that was scratched by Xie Jingchen, and immediately put her hand in front of her: "You won't be serious, right?" ”
Seeing Sun Simiao's frightened appearance, Xie Jingchen let go of his defense, such a reaction, he should not be a person who came to investigate the secrets of Shaofu.
"There are enough undead today, don't add one to you."
After Xie Jingchen finished speaking, he threw an unused incense candle into Sun Simiao's hand.
"For you!"
"Thank you!"
Sun Simiao looked at the incense candle in her hand, the former Shaofu was no longer a person, and now she sneaked in, just to remember the old man.
Because I didn't want to attract attention, I didn't bring anything.
After Xie Jingchen gave the incense candles, he packed up his things and prepared to leave, but he heard Sun Simiao's voice behind him, which was small and a little embarrassed.
"Can you borrow a fire?"
It turned out that she didn't have a fire fold.
Xie Jingchen looked at Sun Simiao, who was at a loss, stopped, took out a fire fold from his arms and threw it over.
"Thanks!"
Sun Simiao took it and worshiped the old people of Shaofu devoutly.
Xie Jingchen looked at her serious appearance, thinking that he must have received great favor from Shaofu.
In such a situation, he can still repay his kindness, but he is a person who values love and righteousness, Xie Jingchen gradually slowed down the pace of leaving.
Sun Simiao's worship was extremely religious, and every kowtow was buckled on the ground, and the sound was in the ears.
After Sun Simiao's worship, he took out a very small suona from his body and blew it.
The sound of suona is poignant, as if telling the sadness of the past ten years, as if telling the confession of nowhere to place.
The requiem funeral is a matter of right and wrong, but after all, it still makes up for this mourning.
Xie Jingchen listened to the sound of suona in his ears, sad and sad.
On the battlefield, the yellow sand and white bones, how many soldiers are loyal to their bones elsewhere.
All they could do was to bury the bodies of their comrades after the battle, and then ask the musician to play a suona song to guide the souls of the dead soldiers.
Therefore, he does not like ancient music, but he can understand the most simple musical instrument of the folk.
At this time, Xie Jingchen completely let go of his defense against Sun Simiao.
"Your suona blows excellently." Xie Jingchen said.
"Since childhood, those who have followed the master to the north and south, there are always patients who cannot be saved, and there are many births, old ages, sickness and death, and they can't do anything for them, so they can only play a tune, and I hope that the dead can rest in peace." Sun Simiao said.
"You're a doctor?" Xie Jingchen asked, "I don't know the girl's surname?" ”
The young family of Xinglin family, if this woman is also a doctor, it is not an orphan of the young family.

Sun Simiao said. "You're a doctor?" Xie Jingchen asked, "I don't know the girl's surname?" ”
The young family of Xinglin family, if this woman is also a doctor, it is not an orphan of the young family.
