Chapter 0026: The Tenth Deceased

"It's a strange thing, I just saw this host walking towards this side, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?" Xie Yu frowned, and couldn't help but think about whether she had missed something.

"Let's take a look, maybe there's some secret passage." Pei Heng said that he walked in front of this Xie Yu.

Xie Yu followed closely behind Pei Heng, and the two of them searched for it in this grotto. However, the host has not yet been found, but the two of them have seen a familiar person in the Qianxi Temple in this annex.

"Miss Wang Xiang'er, why are you here?" Xie Yu couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the familiar person.

Didn't this Wang Xiang'er have already returned to Luoyang City with them before, why did he appear here now?

Wang Xiang'er heard Xie Yu's voice, and when she turned around, she also saw the two of them. Seeing the puzzled looks of the two, she showed a smile and explained, "I'm here to worship." After returning to the city, I felt very uncomfortable when I thought of my father. So he took advantage of the good weather to come here to pray for his father. Since my father knew how to worship gods and Buddhas before his death, I also hope that after his death, he can eliminate the karma of being a human being as a human as soon as possible and enter reincarnation as soon as possible. ”

"The girl is compassionate and filial enough." Xie Yu couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.

At this time, it was getting late, and if I didn't go back, I was afraid that the city gate would be locked. After exchanging opinions, the three of them went home together.

——

When he returned to the mansion, Pei Heng mentioned the clothes in Xie Yu's room. Xie Yu then remembered that she was only concerned about the case, but she forgot to hide her clothes.

But fortunately, Pei Heng didn't think much about it, and only smiled and said to Xie Yu: "I saw that you didn't have much luggage at the beginning, and you didn't want to bring too few clothes." Now that the sun is in full swing, it is indeed time to change your clothes. ”

Xie Yu didn't know what this Pei Heng meant, so she only smiled and responded, and didn't say much.

However, Pei Heng continued to talk again, but in a moment of conversation, he gave her a set of clothes. Hearing Pei Heng's words, Xie Yu was surprised and hurriedly refused.

"The adults are so loving, but the villains feel a little frightened. It's just a set of clothes, and the villain will go back to wash it, and he can change it tomorrow. Xie Yu said that she was about to leave here.

Pei Heng stretched out his hand and stopped her with a smile and said, "You also said it, it's just a set of clothes." Or do you dislike that shirt might have been worn by Lord Ben? Hahaha, this adult will naturally not be so stingy if he wants to send it, of course, he wants to send you a new set. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yu also smiled a little helplessly: "The adults are laughing, the villain is just-"

"Well, there is no need to say more about this. Later I will send for you the garment. Pei Heng waved his hand to interrupt Xie Yu's words, and seeing this, Xie Yu no longer shirked, and acquiesced to it.

Pei Heng handed over the matter to Cui Yun, who had inconvenient legs and feet, so he sent his henchmen to run away and went to the ready-to-wear store to choose a set of clothes.

The henchman returned with the selected clothes, planning to ask Cui Yun to palm his eyes, and then send them to Xie Yu's room.

Unexpectedly, this Cui Yun picked up the shirt and only glanced at it, but accidentally dropped it on the ground.

"Ouch, that's a ...... Someone, wash this shirt quickly, hurry up! Cui Yun shouted, in exchange for someone to pack up the clothes.

The next person saw that the clothes were brand new, and they were still the new clothes of the prefect, so after cleaning their hands and feet neatly, they ironed it again, not to mention, and dyed it with the spices that Cui Yun had bought with a lot of money.

When the shirt was delivered to Xie Yu's room, she couldn't help but smile when she smelled the smell of the shirt.

"It's a coincidence, it tastes good, and it just so happens to be able to hide the smell of water on my body. I was still stinking just now, how to do it these days, God really help me. Xie Yu smiled, but also accepted the gift completely.

Because Fu went to the temple again, Xie Yu, Pei Heng and others missed the dinner time. Just as the two of them had packed up everything and started eating, Wang Xiang'er dragged someone over again, saying that they had something to discuss.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately hurried up the speed of eating, and then Xie Yu went to Wang Xiang'er's room first.

"Miss Wang Xiang'er, what's the matter?" Xie Yu had just finished eating and came to Wang Xiang'er's room, but she only disappeared on the way.

"I'm talking about a few adults, the little woman just wants to talk to the adults about her father's burial. Now that the weather is hot, if I can't bury it earlier, I'm afraid that the corpse stinks, and I will go to Jiuquan in the future, and it is not good to explain it to my father. Wang Xiang'er looked embarrassed.

When Xie Yu heard this, she immediately agreed: "Miss Wang Xiang'er is right, in this weather, you really can't keep the corpse outside." Otherwise, once it stinks, it is still a trivial matter, and it is a little troublesome to clean it up for fear of rotting. ”

Xie Yu said that, and asked Wang Xiang'er what her plans were for this burial.

Hearing this, Wang Xiang'er bowed her head a little ashamedly. Seeing this, Xie Yu also remembered that Wang Xiang'er's family was poor, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to bury her.

"In this case, I will first share some of your money and help you bury your father." Xie Yu said, so she divided the entanglements she got before leaving and gave them to Wang Xiang'er.

"W-how?" Wang Xiang'er saw Xie Yu take out these silver taels, and she was even more ashamed at the moment, "The little woman is penniless now, even if she receives these gifts from adults, it will be difficult to repay them in the future." The adults still forget it, and the little woman will think of some other ways. ”

"What can you think of at this moment?" Xie Yu frowned, quite disapproving, "It's better to accept these of mine first." In the future, if you have money, you will pay it back, and if you don't have money, it will be fine. What's more, if you can live a good life in the future, I think it's enough. ”

"My lord is really a bodhisattva." When Wang Xiang'er heard this, tears fell in her eyes, and she couldn't help sighing, "If I can meet adults as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't be like today." ”

"And don't be sad, at least you're free from those people now." Seeing that sad expression, Xie Yu couldn't help but comfort, "It will get better and better in the future." ”

"Thank you, sir." Wang Xiang'er nodded slowly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled at Xie Yu.

The two talked again, during which Xie Yu noticed that Wang Xiang'er did not eat the food sent to her by the government. It's just that Xie Yu didn't think much about it, just that Wang Xiang'er was really sad because of her father's affairs, and it was difficult to swallow and eat.

Thinking of this, Xie Yu couldn't help but feel that Wang Xiang'er in front of her was distressing, so she continued to persuade: "No matter what, you should also take care of your body." What's more, in the future, your family will be gone, and you will live alone, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult. You still need to cheer up. ”

"That's right, but I've come through the harder days. In the future, I am naturally not afraid. Wang Xiang'er said with a smile.

Xie Yu nodded when she heard this, and mentioned to her about her father's sixth child again.

"I heard you say that you were sold by your father to that rich merchant?" Xie Yu frowned, for some reason, she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter.

"Yes, my father's only shortcoming in his life, I'm afraid it's just that good betting. In the past, it was okay, this problem was not too big, and it was not small. It's just that as I got older, my father became more and more addicted to gambling. In the early years, I lost my mother at the gambling table to others, and then because I couldn't pay the gambling debt, I was sold to a wealthy merchant in another county. When Wang Xianger said this, she couldn't help but think of the sad past, and inevitably wept a little.

Then I fell into the hands of the rich merchant, and began to be tormented by him. The rich businessman ...... "Wang Xiang'er's tears flowed more and more, and then he hid his face and cried.

Seeing this, Xie Yu also blamed herself a little in her heart for why she wanted to mention this matter. While I couldn't bear it, I comforted him with my heart: "Okay, okay, it's all over, it's over." You have left the rich merchant, and we will help you, and we will not let you fall into the hands of such people again. After that, it's time to live well. ”

Xie Yu comforted Wang Xiang'er carefully, and after some persuasion, Wang Xiang'er finally stopped crying. Then she sat here for a while, and then said goodbye to Wang Xiang'er and went back to her room.

Early the next morning, Xie Yu had just gotten up, and someone outside the government came to report the case.

When everyone heard the news, they all rushed over, but they knew a piece of news that they didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Near the Longmen Grottoes, a monk died?" Xie Yu was surprised, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"I don't know about this, the person who reported the case only said that it was a monk who was burned to death." As soon as the officials in the palace said this, everyone's faces immediately sank.

"I'm afraid that a new victim has appeared." Pei Heng had a calm face, and then asked, "Is the reporter still here?" Let him come over and talk to us. ”

"People are gone." The official said, "The man said that there is something else at home, and it is not easy for me to stop it." ”

Hearing this, Pei Heng immediately said: "Lord Prefect has injured his legs and feet now, and he is unable to move, so I will go with Xie Yu to take a step forward to see what is going on at the scene." ”

"Okay, my lord, let's go first. My master and I will arrive later. Cui Yun nodded, but he didn't have any objections.

And Pei Heng and Xie Yu immediately stepped up and felt the place that the reporter said.

The place was not far from the Longmen Grottoes, and it was still a thatched house. The monk who was burned to death was in this thatched hut.

Xie Yu walked in front of Pei Heng and explored the way for him. But as soon as she entered the thatched hut, and looked at the clothes of the burned monk, and recognized who it was, she was immediately shocked.

"What's going on?" Pei Heng saw that Xie Yu's face was wrong, and when he crossed her, he was about to step forward to check the corpse.

"My lord, this monk is the abbot you and I followed yesterday!" Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that he was killed shortly after we lost him yesterday." ”

When Pei Heng heard this, his face was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect them to be a step late yesterday.
