The custom of Zhaoyi is to pay tribute to relatives at dusk.

Wei Yining asked Chunjiao to stay at home, and Xiao She'er followed her out.

Wei Chang'an rode with him, and there was also a groom and a servant who drove the car.

"Fifth sister, you sit in the car, lower the curtain, block it tighter, and don't catch the wind. I'll call you when you get to the foot of Wangchun Mountain. Wei Chang'an was kind and thoughtful.

Wei Yining agreed softly, Xiao She'er lowered the curtain, and she sat quietly in the car, her right hand hidden in the wide cuffs, and a dagger in her white palm.

This was used by her to defend herself when she was hunting in Lao Linghe, and she was also used to defend herself against the enemy when she and her mother encountered robbers, but unfortunately she still failed to protect her younger brother Hongan.

Wei Chang'an beat her idea, Wei Yining was not afraid, she wanted to see what tricks this straw bag could play.

What's more, she wants to find out who is behind Wei Chang'an.

If she blindly dodges, Wei Changan will naturally not do anything to her, but when she thinks that someone in the dark is beating her idea, Wei Yining will feel uncomfortable.

Anyway, there is nothing to do now, so it is better to probe the reality of the other party.

Wei Changan urged the coachman to leave quickly: "Don't delay the hour, if the city gate is closed when you come back, it will be bad." ”

The road in Zhaoyi is flat and wide, and although the carriage goes fast, the carriage is not very bumpy.

Wei Yining yawned lightly, and Xiao She'er was also infected.

"Girl, it's going to be a while before you get there anyway, so why don't you just sleep!" Xiao She'er said, "I'll cover you with a blanket." ”

The carriage was covered with thick cushions and backrest blankets, Wei Yining felt that Xiao She'er's suggestion was good, and lay down against the wall.

The brocade carpet was soft and warm, Wei Yining buried his face in it, and smelled a little bit of the unique smell of animal fur.

The smell felt familiar to her, and her nerves became more relaxed, and after a while, her eyes closed and her breathing became longer.

When she arrived at Wangchun Mountain, Wei Yining woke up as soon as the carriage stopped, no matter how well she slept soundly, her ears were always awake.

"Fifth sister, it's here." Wei Changan got off the horse and lifted the curtain himself.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the car from behind him, Wei Yining was squinted by the shaking, and stretched out his hand to block his face.

The grass and trees in late autumn are withered and yellow, and the whole Wangchun Mountain shows a solemn atmosphere.

Wei Changan hugged his shoulders and shivered, he was not born strong, and he didn't like to practice martial arts on weekdays, so the little guy who followed him hurriedly draped a cloak on him.

Wei Yining got out of the car, and Xiao She'er took the basket with incense and candles out of the car.

The tomb of Wei Zongzhao and his wife was buried on the slope to the south, and Wei Yining did not come back after entering the Zhiyong Mansion, thinking that if no one took care of it for a few months, the grave of his parents must have been buried by the wild grass.

Who wants to take a closer look, the grave is newly soiled, and the surrounding area is clean, and there is not a single weed.

The two trees that were planted at the beginning are also alive, and although the leaves are withering at this time, they are obviously much taller and thicker than they were in the spring.

There are still traces of memorials in the open space in front of the grave, and Wei Yining judged that someone should have come here to pay respects at the beginning of the month.

Who could it be?

Wei Changan didn't follow, he just stood near the carriage, looking around as if he was looking for something.

Wei Yining had long known that his purpose was not pure, so Wei Changan was not dissatisfied if he didn't come to pay tribute to her.

Parents probably don't want to see irrelevant people.

The little house on the side knelt down with a thud and kowtowed six times to the grave of Wei Zongzhao and his wife.

"Second master and second lady, my name is Xiao She'er, and I am the girl of the fifth girl. There is also a sister Chunjiao, she served the fifth girl with me, she didn't come today, and asked me to kowtow for her three times. You two elders are in the spirit of heaven, you must bless the five girls a lot. Xiao She'er said in a humble voice.

Wei Yining was sad for a while, and slowly knelt down, taking out the sacrifices in the basket one by one.

The remnant sun is only one rod high, and the tired birds return to the nest together.

Black smoke rose up, paper money turned to ashes, and the firelight reflected on Wei Yining's childish face, which was clearly extinguished.

Her eyes were as bright as cold stars, and there was a glimmer of water floating under her eyes, like slightly melting ice.

Wei Changan tightened the front of his cloak, and his face tightened a little.

The cold wind entered his arms, making him lose his patience.

"That's pretty much it, what do you have to say to two dead people!" Wei Changan sneered: "People die like lights going out, and it is a lie to say that there is knowledge after death." ”

Wei Yining knelt there, his back straight, like a stone statue.

Xiao She'er was by her side, kneeling straight and straight, without moving a single hair.

When there was only the last trace of sunset, Wei Yining solemnly kowtowed three more times, and slowly got up and walked towards the carriage.

"It's not too early, get in the car!" Wei Chang'an said with an unkind face: "You women are like this, you have to grind in everything." ”

Wei Yining didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth raised a contemptuous arc, but the light was dim, and Wei Changan didn't notice it at all.

A bright corner lamp was lit in the carriage, and Xiao She'er covered Wei Yining with a brocade blanket.

The temperature in the suburbs was very low, and a fine goosebump appeared on Wei Chang'an's cheeks, making his face even paler and a little oozing.

Wei Yining quietly lifted the curtain and looked outside, a deep night.

But she knew that the car had quietly changed its course, and that they were no longer on the same road they had come.

Is it about to start?

Wei Yining's state of mind is like the clear sky in early autumn, clear and dust-free.

It was as if you could see thousands of miles away as soon as you raised your eyes.

Wei Changan secretly counted in his heart, and when he counted to ninety-nine, a broken cry sounded in his ears.

Wei Changan first laughed, and then pretended to be afraid of falling off the horse.

Wei Yining naturally heard the shout, she gently hid the dagger behind her back and sat motionless in the carriage.

"Who's in the car?! Come out to Lao Tzu! Seven or eight black-clothed men gathered around, all of them sturdy men.

"Heroes spare their lives!" Wei Changan shouted straight at the throat, like a rooster that has been choked by the throat.

Wei Yining didn't hear that he was afraid, he just thought it was funny.

"It's my sister sitting in the car, we are from the Zhiyong Mansion, you can't act rashly." Wei Chang'an's words were nondescript, both like a threat and like begging for mercy.

"It turned out to be Miss Duke's Palace," the man in black laughed strangely, "It must be very beautiful with fine skin and tender meat!" ”

"Girl, we have met a bad person, I will protect you in a while, you find a chance to run." Xiao She'er couldn't help but panic.

"It's okay," Wei Yining's eyebrows were very calm: "It's a joke!" ”

When the people outside saw that there was no movement in the car, they thought that the people inside were already frightened.

"You go over and take a look!" The leader ordered the people around him: "If it's really good-looking, take it away, and it can be regarded as our brother didn't go to the capital in vain." ”
