307 A White Bone (2nd Watch)
"I don't drink with you." Shen Wenyu said.
When she yelled for a drink, she must have called friends and friends to drink and fight together, and they couldn't even say a word.
Song Ning paused and said, "Then I don't know, what do you think about yourself?" ā
"Please let me have a supper, it's not too demanding, you make a bowl of noodles yourself." Shen Wenyu said.
Song Ning looked at him: "Are you sure?" ā
Shen Wenyu nodded.
"That's too low, okay, I'll cook it for you when I get home." Song Ning immediately responded.
Shen Wenyu was full of smiles.
Song Ning couldn't understand that he could smile so happily after taking advantage of a bowl of noodles.
"Speaking of which, you go to the yamen tomorrow morning, and we'll divide the money."
"Another penny?"
"Divide it, you've been here for the past two days, you've been dragging it out and not doing anything, tomorrow you go over, let's divide it." Each of them saved money to get his daughter-in-law. ā
Shen Wenyu didn't answer her words.
The two of them flashed their waist cards and walked out of the east city gate, and as soon as they arrived outside the city, they saw the peony garden in the clouds with lights on.
"It's not going to stop yet." Song Ning rode his horse over, because the road was muddy after rain, and he didn't walk fast, and just halfway through the trail, he heard an exclamation from the peony garden.
Immediately, two bright lights could be seen moving very quickly, and they fell on the ridge again.
Everyone in the courtyard ran out and shouted, "Lord of the county," and asked, "What's wrong?" ā
Song Ning's heart jumped, and he patted the horse with Shen Wenyu.
"It's scary, over there, over there!" Bai Jiaojiao shouted.
Song Ning walked over quickly and asked, "County Lord, what's wrong?" ā
"Husband!" Bai Jiaojiao heard Song Ning's voice and cried, "Husband, I'm so scared." ā
She cried and ran towards Song Ning.
"Husband, I'm so scared." Bai Jiaojiao threw herself into her arms and cried.
The person being held stiffened all over.
There was silence in the faint aperture of the lantern.
Song Ning shook the corners of his mouth, looked at the two people who were hugging each other, and stood still with bright eyes.
"County Lord!" Shen Wenyu pushed Bai Jiaojiao away as if he had been pricked by a needle, "You, you, you ......"
You went around Bai Jiaojiao for a long time and asked her little girl: "Here, what's the situation?" ā
Bai Jiaojiao stood in place, understood what was happening, and slowly turned her gaze to Song Ning, who was standing on the side, her face turned white.
She had just pounced on the wrong person.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Song Ning went up and patted her on the shoulder, "What the hell did you see, it scared you out of your mind." ā
Bai Jiaojiao observed Song Ning, and when she saw that she didn't have a sinking face and was unhappy, as if there was no such thing as hugging the wrong person, she suddenly felt even more guilty. grabbed Song Ning's sleeve and whispered with a crying voice: "I, I thought it was you, it was too dark and I saw the wrong person." ā
"It's okay, don't think about it so much." Song Ning asked, "What's wrong, let's get down to business, this section is over." ā
Bai Jiaojiao thought of why she screamed, and immediately pointed to the ridge behind her: "In the field next door, the ridge has collapsed, and the water has been pouring into us. ā
"No, I didn't expect to see white flowers, and as soon as the lantern shone on, I saw human bones."
Song Ning was stunned, then stabilized again, and said: "Maybe whose ancestral grave was it before, it rained out after it was leveled into a field." ā
"I'll go and Shen Wenyu to take a look, you go back and rest first."
Bai Jiaojiao grabbed Song Ning's hand and said, "Then, then you be careful." ā
"I'm fine." Song Ning motioned to Bai Jiaojiao's entourage to take her back, she walked to Shen Wenyu's side, Shen Wenyu turned around and blocked, "You wait a minute, I'll go and see first." ā
Song Ning said as he walked: "I'm fine, what did you see?" ā
Shen Wenyu stopped at the edge of the muddy ridge.
On the opposite side is a barren field, and there is a lot of water in the field, and the ridge has not been renovated and reinforced, so after a heavy rain today, the ridge was broken.
The water stored in the fields was leaked out and flowed into the dry land of the peony orchard below.
Shen Wenyu turned around and held Song Ning's arm, giving her a little place, and in the dim candlelight, Song Ning saw the white bone that Bai Jiaojiao said.
It's white bones, yes, the big bones are there, but I can't see what is missing.
"Do you want to pick it up?" Shen Wenyu asked.
Song Ning was a little hesitant, and now there was no place to put it back when she picked it up, she said: "You go back and get a pair of gloves and a sack, I'll probably clean it up, and I'll take a closer look after dawn tomorrow." ā
"Can you be here alone?" Shen Wenyu looked at her.
Song Ning smiled: "Don't say I'm standing here, I'll be fine even if I lie down all night, let's go." ā
"Then be careful." Shen Wenyu went to the house to get something, and Song Ning squatted on the ridge with a lantern, looking at the extent of the white bones, the time of death of the deceased should be three to ten years.
Looking at this field, it should have been deserted for two or three years.
The terrain of this field is quite high, and it can be excluded from being washed from other places.
It would only be that there were graves here for about three or four years.
It should be possible to find out.
"Husband, you, you are careful." Bai Jiaojiao stood in the courtyard and didn't dare to come over, Shen Wenyu took the bag and came over with two little servants to light torches.
There is a lot of light all around.
Song Ning picked up the bones, placed them on the ground of the white peony garden, and covered them with sacks.
"Thirty-one pieces less." Song Ning got up and said, "I'll look for it tomorrow." ā
Shen Wenyu should have followed her back, Bai Jiaojiao stood at the door, and said, "Have you cleaned up?" ā
"Well, it's packed, and there are years of bones, so don't be afraid." Song Ning said to everyone, "If you are really afraid that you won't sleep well at night, go back to the city with me and come back tomorrow." ā
"IāI'll go home." Bai Jiaojiao raised her hand and shouted to all her entourage, "Go back, everyone go home with me, it's terrible here." ā
Song Ning didn't stop him, and the group went back to the county lord's mansion.
Bai Jiaojiao was scared, Song Ning was relieved for a long time, and dissected the human body structure to her, so that she understood that this was a bone that did not bind the resentful spirit, Bai Jiaojiao was a little better, and she fell asleep suddenly.
She went back to the room to wash, thinking of Shen Wenyu's loneliness, she was a little worried and couldn't sleep.
Shen Wenyu played a set of punches in the courtyard and couldn't sleep.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Miaomiao got up and felt relieved, scratched her stomach and stood at the door, sleepy-eyed and said, "Don't you sleep yet?" ā
Shen Wenyu replied: "I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep." ā
"Oh," Lu Miaomiao was about to leave, but Shen Wenyu suddenly called out to him, "Miao Miao." ā
Lu Miaomiao looked back at him: "What's wrong?" ā
"What kind of person do you think, A-Ning?" Shen Wenyu asked.
Lu Miaomiao rubbed her eyes and looked at Shen Wenyu: "Don't you know her?" ā
"I don't know."
Lu Miaomiao was still puzzled: "What do you want to know about her?" ā
"Emotions, what do you think?"
Lu Miaomiao yawned, and said angrily: "She doesn't need this thing." ā
"She doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law."
"No, she has a daughter-in-law."
Shen Wenyu couldn't cry or laugh, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Lu Miaomiao's words made some sense.
Lu Miaomiao said: "A-Ning said that she wants to be the first assistant, if she doesn't do the first assistant, she may continue to work hard." ā
"Moreover, she is so powerful, what kind of brocade and brocade are outsiders to her?"
"The icing on the cake." Shen Wenyu said.
Lu Miaomiao nodded: "That's it." ā
This is exactly what Shen Wenyu is confused about at the moment. For example, Bai Jiaojiao will be scared when she sees white bones and needs the protection of others, but Song Ning will not ...... She could never be afraid, or she wouldn't be so easily afraid.
No one's protection and companionship is necessary for her.
As Lu Miaomiao said, everyone is the icing on the cake for her.
So, what's the point of his stay here?
"You go to sleep." Shen Wenyu said to Lu Miaomiao.
Lu Miaomiao should have gone back to sleep.
Shen Wenyu was in a trance for a while.
Song Ning woke up after taking a nap, and called Shen Wenyu and Xiaotian to go to the peony garden early the next morning.
"Don't you call Wang Ye and Mr. Yuan?" Shen Wenyu was changing clothes, Song Ning was packing up his baggage, and replied, "The prince is afraid of being dirty, Mr. Yuan is timid, only you are the most suitable." ā
"Gone, gone."
She walked in front, Shen Wenyu paused in place, and Song Ning looked back at him: "Are you scared too?" ā
"How is that possible?" Shen Wenyu followed her to the stable, and Song Ning looked at him, "Why do I think your temperament is a little melancholy today?" ā
Shen Wenyu couldn't cry or laugh: "Where do you see that I'm depressed?" ā
There was a slight sorrow between his eyebrows. Song Ning sighed twice, "It's like the weather in March, which makes people worry." ā
Shen Wenyu patted her shoulder with the scabbard of his saber: "Nonsense." ā
"Don't be like this, I feel very guilty when I'm worried." Song Ning said as he walked, "You have sent thousands of miles of heads for me, and they are all lifelong friendships. ā
"If you're upset, I'm guilty."
Shen Wenyu did see the blue and black under her eyes, and her face was full of worry, and suddenly felt that she was ridiculous.
When did he become so grinding and chirping?
It made her uncomfortable too. Not at all.
"Don't be cranky, I...... I just miss my dad, my dad's death day is coming. Shen Wenyu said.
Song Ning looked at him in disbelief.
"What kind of expression do you have, am I still lying to you with this?" Shen Wenyu pushed her away, "Let's go." ā
Song Ning asked him, "Really?" ā
"Really."
Song Ning was about to speak, when Bai Jiaojiao flew over with her skirt. She is wearing a hibiscus white dress today, no jewelry, a red hairband tied in the plain white and clean, running like a bird, smart and cute.
"Husband, wait for me."
Shen Wenyu retracted his gaze and looked at the side door.
