Chapter Twenty-Six: The Last Letter

Zhao Huiyi struggled in shame, Qiao Youqing smiled evilly, and took the opportunity to kiss her red face. Zhao Huiyi said angrily: "It's so annoying! Stinks to death! ”

Qiao Youqing hurriedly got up, quickly covered his mouth and asked, "Really?" ”

Zhao Huiyi saw that he was getting serious, and laughed like a silver bell, Qiao Youqing was stunned for a moment, and then also smiled: "Okay! I've learned to be naughty......" said as he stretched out his claws to tickle her.

Zhao Huiyi kept dodging, and she couldn't stop laughing. Before Yuexiu and Yuan Jie came in, they heard their laughter and play, the two glanced at each other, held hands and quietly walked away.

The next day, people had already moved back to the ancient town, and the town was in a mess. However, this ancient town is their home after all, and they can still live in it if they simply clean it up. As for those corpses, such as the core members of the Wanjia Gang, Wang Ning, Zhao Xiang and other people with 'heads', after the hermit masters dealt with the corresponding matters, the mayor of the town organized a group of young adults to help bury them. The burial place was naturally instructed by several masters, and the presiding officer was Mr. Cheng. As for whether to erect a monument or move a grave in the future, that is the matter of one's descendants and relatives.

Due to the large number of the rest, whether it is the heroes who sacrificed for the ancient town, or the foreigners, lamas and monks, Qing soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, etc., some people claim it, and all the unclaimed ones are cremated into ashes, and finally they are all thrown into the surging river at the edge of the town. Those ghosts that were messing around had long been collected and scattered by a few masters, but there were a few who didn't know where they had fled......

After this catastrophe, all the surviving townspeople were full of grief and sadness. If there is a dead person in the family, they wear linen and filial piety, crying and screaming. However, life has to go on, the house is still there, and I move my belongings back in with mixed feelings. Some of those whose houses have collapsed or even burned down are temporarily living with relatives, friends, or close neighbors, or they may have built a shelter for people to live in.

Mr. Cheng led a group of people, beating gongs and drums, carrying incense, candles, paper money, yellow charms and other things to walk the streets and alleys to remove bad luck for the ancient town.

Of course, the Zhao family is the same, they are very busy. During this period, Qiao Youqing repaired a letter, which was both a family letter and a last word. It reads as follows:

My father knelt down and asked Jin An:

Blessings

Farewell respect, less than a month, since childhood, received grace and mercy. However, he often studied for things, neglected filial piety, and was not filial piety, and was deeply ashamed.

In Xiabaihe Town, Youyang Prefecture, I met a local scholar, a good woman named Huiyi. His daughter knows books and etiquette, and she is really a rare woman in a hundred years, and she is happy with them, fortunately!

A few days ago, the remnants of the Tibetan Demon Buddha fled here with Indian and British thieves. Foreigners, snakes and scorpions are the heart, jackals are natured, go against the sky, and slaughter the people; It is truly indignant to the gods, and heaven and earth cannot tolerate it, and such ferocious and violent thieves are removed for good deeds. is not filial piety, bings the teachings of his father, has chivalry, stands up to help, and shares the same hatred with the ancient town children; Later, the imperial court reinforcements arrived, and the thieves were punished. The Demon Buddha has supernatural powers, and Youqing is invincible. Fortunately, he came out of the mountains in seclusion and subdued demons.

But Youqing was hit hard, and the days were numbered, and the filial piety was not paid, and the guilt was very deep; Life and death are not enough to mourn, sadness is useless, and hope is still cherished. If there is a fate in the next life, you should think about repaying the favor.

Do not be filial piety and bow respectfully

packed the envelope, and before he could seal it, the Zhao family came to invite him to dinner. In a hurry, he walked out of the room before he had time to put the letter away.

Time flies, especially for a dying person, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the third day that Qiao Youqing has taken the mysterious 'pill'. The residents of the ancient town are busy as usual, and it may not be long before the normal life trajectory will return to here! But this is only comparative, living in this stormy and turbulent world, how can there be a real normal life?

Looking into the distance, the sun sets over the distant mountains. Flocks of tired birds call and return to their nests together.

The clouds on the horizon were like fiery red brocade clothes reflected on a pair of men and women, who held hands with each other and walked slowly. In the end, the two walked hand in hand to a mound outside the ancient town, facing the beautiful scenery in the distance.

"The sunset is so beautiful......"

"yes, but the sunset is short-lived, and what about after that?"

"It doesn't matter! Once the night is over, there will be dawn! ”

"Actually, as long as you are there, the darkness is also the most beautiful scenery!"

"I'm ...... It's always ...... I will always be by your side, even if the body dies, there is still a soul! The soul is not there and there is love. ”

"Love is a matter of two people, if you are not there, who am I going to share that love with?"

"My heart has long been with you......"

On top of the mound, they sat on the ground with their backs to their backs, and Qiao Youqing spoke slower and slower, and his voice became smaller and smaller......

At last, he stopped, as if he had been overworked, had not slept for a long time, and needed a good rest. His eyelids closed slightly, his eyes closed slightly, and a warm smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Zhao Huiyi didn't speak again, just looked calmly into the distance, and two lines of hot tears slipped down her cheeks silently......

It turned out that she had already quietly read the letter that was placed on the table in the guest room and had not had time to seal it. After secretly tearing her heart and crying, she pretended not to know anything, pretending that nothing had happened. It's just that she suddenly became very clingy, and she couldn't wait to stick to Qiao Youqing all the time.

Qiao Youqing had the secret of Yang Shou dying, and he didn't notice these details. What's more, his time is extremely precious, and he can't wait to be with Zhao Huiyi for a moment.

The story between Qiao Youqing and Zhao Huiyi ended almost here. However, the matter about the ancient town did not end here.

After Qiao Youqing's body was brought back, Zhao Huiyi became seriously ill because of excessive grief. But she didn't fall down because of this, and she took care of all the affairs of the Zhao family, although the Zhao family still had elders, but they were old and basically couldn't do anything. Yu Cuiwei became a little abnormal again, and the burden of the entire Zhao family fell on her fragile shoulders.

Three months later, Zhao Huiyi took charge and asked Yuexiu to change her surname to Zhao as the adopted daughter of the Zhao family, and her name was Zhao Yuexiu. Moreover, she also picked an auspicious day of the zodiac to officiate the marriage between her and Yuan Jie, and Yuan Jie entered the Zhao family as a son-in-law.

Although the lives of the residents of the ancient town are back on track, some strange things often happen. For example, on the night of Yuan Jie and Yuexiu's wedding, someone saw a mysterious groom suspected of Wang Ning on the street. On the Guanma Road outside the town, there was a team of soldiers and horses of unknown origin. Subsequently, the sound of soldiers and horses fighting and shouting came from the depths of the mountain, as if there was a fierce battle in the mountains. On the streets of the ancient town, after midnight, there is also a lively midnight ghost market. Someone found that the figures were all dead people in the ancient town......

In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed, and Zhao Huiyi, who was already injured at the beginning, did not recuperate seriously after a serious illness. Finally he fell ill again, and this time, it was a few months away.

Until the end, Zhao Huiyi couldn't get up again, suffered from illness, and passed away on the hospital bed......

Under the infection of this past, Chen Qingxue had already burst into tears.

I couldn't help but sigh for a while, it turned out that the Zhao family had no queen at all, and Zhao Chengyu was the descendant of Yuan Jie and Yuexiu. It seems that the ghost lady finally kept her promise and returned to the ancient town to teach the descendants of the Zhao family. Otherwise, there would be no 'Mr. Chengyu' today.

The reason why we want to know this story is because Zhao Chengyu and his grandmother suspect that Zhao Huiyi is Chen Qingxue's previous life. We don't believe much either, but we can't find a reason to doubt it, maybe some people will use the word 'superstition' to say things, but the word superstition itself is not objective enough, and it is obviously arbitrary and critical.

You can choose to believe or you can choose not to believe! Just ask, who doesn't insist on believing in something with their own way of thinking? Isn't it true or false that people measure by their own standards?

Chen Qingxue was born in 95, and a lot of bizarre and strange things happened across the country that year, such as Zhao Chengyu, who called this year 'demonic chaos'. I don't understand what that means, but I guess it's certainly not a good thing, and it's even less likely to be a coincidence.

We left after having a meal at Zhao Chengyu's house, and Chen Qingxue didn't say a word all the way, as if she hadn't come out of that sad story yet. As clever as I am, I don't know how to comfort her at the moment.

If it were me, I wouldn't want anyone to be chattering in my ears in this situation, so I'm very interesting. After silently walking a few streets with her, she seemed to be in a much better mood, and she said to me, "Let's go to the covered bridge, I didn't have time to take a good look at it last time......"

"Well, it's a romantic place, and someone once wrote poems for their loved ones......"

"Romance is also the beginning of sadness......"

I replied, "You don't have to be emotional, if you touch the scene, maybe I'll write a poem for you!" ”

She didn't speak, maybe thinking I was joking, and it was clear that she wasn't in the mood to joke with me at the moment.

On the covered bridge, we stood side by side, looking at the clear river in front of us. Chen Qingxue sighed lightly and said sadly: "Zu Junyang, why do you say that each of them is destined to be a tragedy?" ”

I said, "That's not necessarily, if it's written as a novel, wouldn't Yuan Jie and Yuexiu fit the setting of the protagonists?" After going through hardships, the final trainee is getting a good result! ”

"How can it be that easy? In the troubled times, it is lucky to be able to survive. During that period, there were the Taiping Rebellion, the Boxer Rebellion, the invasion of Western powers, the local Tusi armed riots, and the later Baolu Movement and the Wuchang Uprising...... Under such an environment, the people of Dawn can only survive. ”
