Chapter 108: Immortal Xiao Yuanyuan 8
I've already heard the boss say it on New Year's Day.
Today is the death anniversary of Xiao Changqi's mother.
Wen Cairen committed suicide in fear of sin, so he did not get the clothes and graves that the palace concubine should have, and was only wrapped in a tattered mat by the officers and soldiers of the Zongren Mansion and thrown to the mass grave.
In the mass grave, where corpses are strewn all over the field, and even insects and mosquitoes are in the sky, a young child looks indifferent and numb as he picks up a corpse that is either rotting or just dying, and a trace of fear and anxiety flashes in his dark eyes, which is fleeting.
It was getting a little brighter, and after rummaging through half of the mass graves, the child finally found a bloodstained female corpse with a pale and lifeless face.
The child knelt next to the female corpse, solemnly kowtowed to the other party three times, and then tied the bamboo mat with the corpse with a rope, slowly stood up, pinched one end of the rope, and slowly pulled the bamboo mat forward.
At this time, the sky suddenly began to drizzle, and Father-in-law Zhou, who was taking care of the Seventh Prince, was woken up by a slight sound, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the child who was supposed to be sleeping in the bed had gone.
Gonggong Zhou couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly went out to find the little prince, but after looking around the palace, he didn't see anyone, and his little master didn't have any playmates in the palace, so he probably wouldn't go to other palaces.
At this time, Gonggong Zhou suddenly thought of the fact that the eunuch in charge came to the palace yesterday to inform Wen Cairen of the death, and a thought suddenly rose up made his scalp tingle, and he hurriedly walked towards the palace gate.
He didn't dare to ask the palace guards guarding the palace gate if they had seen the Seven Princes, and only said that he would go out to do something for the masters.
Guard: "Which palace?" ”
Gonggong Zhou replied cautiously: "Wenfeng Palace's." ”
Isn't Wenfeng Hall the palace where the Seventh Prince who fell out of favor lived?
I heard that the biological mother of the Seven Princes committed suicide in the Zongren Mansion yesterday......
The guard hesitated, and Gonggong Zhou hurriedly took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the guard's hand: "The Seventh Prince is clamoring to eat the dim sum of the house at the entrance of Xijiekou, and the slave has no choice, and I hope that the adults will be accommodating." ”
The guard shook the silver in his hand, and when you said so, Lord Ben gave a kind expression: "You go, but you must come back before the time comes." ”
Gonggong Zhou responded in a loud voice, but after leaving the palace, he did not go to the West Street entrance, but went directly to the mass grave.
The huge mass grave, it is not easy to find the dead, but it is simple to find the living, Zhou Gonggong noticed that there were children's footprints on the ground, and his guess was immediately verified, and he followed the footprints to find the past.
After all, Father-in-law Zhou was an adult, and his footsteps were much faster than that of a child dragging a corpse with short legs, and he chased after him after a short time.
"Oh, my little ancestor." Seeing the dirty and smelly child, Father-in-law Zhou was about to kneel down for him, "Why did you come here alone?" ”
The child looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes were empty and unfocused, and he only stared at the bamboo mat coldly.
Gonggong Zhou followed his line of sight, and lifted the corner of the bamboo mat suspiciously, revealing a dead face.
"Smell ...... Smell the master. Father-in-law Zhou was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
The child ignored the little eunuch who was so frightened that his face turned white, and walked forward with the bamboo mat without saying a word.
Gonggong Zhou came back to his senses, hurriedly got up with his hands and feet, and asked in a trembling voice: "Little master, where are you taking Master Wen?" ”
"Buried." The child already knew that the dead should be buried in the ground, and the childish voice became a little hoarse because he had not slept all night.
When Wencai was a palace maid, he once saved the life of the little eunuch Zhou who had just entered the palace at that time, and the little eunuch was a grateful person, and when he heard the child's words, he couldn't help but redden...... Minions are with you. ”
