Duan Jiu knelt and cried all night, and when it was dawn, the entire Duan Mansion had become a black ash.

Kind-hearted people carried out charred corpses for him from the fire, a total of thirty-six! It was a total of thirty-six people from the Nei Duan family, including his mother!

When Duan Jiu heard this number, he already felt his body numb, and he slowly walked towards the thirty-six black charcoal-like corpses, and each time he looked at one more, his heart hurt a little more.

When he saw a corpse with a turquoise jade ring on his ring finger, he completely broke down, hugged the corpse and sobbed, and said, "Mother, mother, Heng'er can't stand you, Heng'er will never go out to play in the future." Heng'er will listen to you in the future, read and write every day, practice the piano diligently and practice martial arts, Heng'er must keep to himself, and Heng'er must work hard. Mother, please, mother, please, don't leave Heng'er, mother, please......"

The more Duan Jiu spoke, the more he broke down, his voice became more hoarse, and the pear blossoms cried with rain. The people around were all moved when they heard this, they all bowed their heads and were sad, and they were more sympathetic and sobbed. This scene is deeply moving, enough to move heaven and earth.

However, since ancient times, it is human beings who are sad, and those who are sympathetic are also human beings, and God has stood by and watched from above with indifference to the sufferings of the world.

The sun climbed higher and higher as usual, and the weather gradually became hotter, Duan Jiu cried until noon holding the charred corpse, his voice was already crying, but his mouth was still "Mother, please, mother, don't leave Heng'er ......".

Seeing that Duan Jiu had been grieving so much, that no relatives had come to help collect the body and bury it, and that no one had come to pull away and comfort Duan Jiu, everyone became anxious. Someone in a slight whisper asked, "What about the people from this Qinghong Palace?"

Everyone shook their heads and said in a low voice: "I don't know, this tragedy, if someone wants to kill them all, I'm afraid that Qinghong Palace will also ......."

"Shhh......h The lord of this section of the city is an upright person, and treats us people so well, but he doesn't want to ...... Heaven has no eyes. ”

"Alas, this son, what can I do in the future?"

"Well, the lords of the city are all ...... I'm afraid that the continent of the Soviet Union is about to change...... It's hard for anyone to take care of anyone. ”

"It's so pathetic......"

Everyone whispered for a while, then quieted down, and finally went about their work again.

Until it was time for Shen, people really couldn't stand it anymore, and they didn't want to see Duan Jiu's thirty-six people on the streets like this, so some people went up the mountain to pull Duan Jiu away, and persuaded: "Duan Gongzi, don't be too sad." Let's bury this body for you, and you can choose a place in the suburbs to give them a home. ”

Duan Jiu didn't speak, everyone shook their heads helplessly, waited for a while, collected the bodies of the others for Duan Jiu, and transported them to the nearby suburbs and forests to bury them.

In the end, everyone came back to persuade Duan Jiu to let Nalan Moyu go, so it was for Mrs. Duan's good. Duan Jiu probably heard everyone's advice as well, and slowly let go of his hand and let everyone carry Nalan Moyu's body onto the horse-drawn cart.

The horse-drawn carriage clattered towards the outside of the city, and Duan Jiu suddenly stood up and chased after the carriage all the way, not saying anything. When everyone saw this, they were all gloomy.

The well-wishers buried Nalan Moyu on the Fenglin Mountain in the north of Kaiyang City, and there was only a hill in front of the tomb, not even a nameplate. Behind the tomb is a plum blossom forest, but the deep winter has passed, the plum blossoms have gone, and there are only green branches.

Duan Jiu sat quietly in front of the tomb, the six gods had no owner, and he was stunned. He had no more tears to shed, and his voice was broken, leaving only the grief in his heart to support his consciousness and make him sit numbly.

When everyone finished burying Duan Jiu's body, it was already dusk, and now they all returned to Kaiyang City. Only Duan Jiu was left alone, guarding Nalan Moyu in the wind.

That night, the evening breeze gradually began to rise in the sky, and the evening breeze blew more and more urgently, and suddenly a heavy rain fell, and the heavy rain drenched Duan Jiu. Duan Jiu, who was hungry and cold, finally fainted in the middle of the night.

When Duan Jiu woke up, he was thrown to a cave. He didn't know what he woke up for, he just felt that he opened his eyes unconsciously in the haze, maybe he had fallen asleep.

Duan Jiu patted his head, and saw that there was a big basket of steamed buns at the entrance of the cave, he was already about to go crazy with hunger, and he no longer cared about etiquette and morality, and pounced like a dog, desperately chasing after him.

"Ahem......"

Duan Jiu's gobbling up the way he ate made him choke all of a sudden, he coughed desperately, trying to find water to drink, but saw a small jar of water next to the bread, so he hurriedly picked up the "grunt" and swallowed most of the jar.

Drinking, eating, eating, drinking, thirty or forty bread steamed buns and a jar of water let him eat and drink three or five times, he lay down on the ground contentedly, touched his bulging belly, for the first time in his life felt so comfortable. It was as if he had just come out of the ghost gate and stepped into heaven again.

But as soon as he relaxed, he saw the sunlight shining into the cave, and he seemed to see the yellow firelight in his eyes, and when he saw the dark cave, he seemed to see the endless night, and when he saw the brownish-gray earth, he seemed to see a newly dug grave......

"Oh, woo......"

Duan Jiu smiled bitterly, and suddenly tears flowed down unconsciously from the corners of his eyes. The mother's face came to mind, as if she was smiling lovingly at him.

"Brother, don't cry. ”

Duan Jiu suddenly heard the voice of a young girl from the cave, he hurriedly sat up, looked behind him, and saw a girl who looked only four or five years old walking towards him, this little girl was wearing a red dress, holding a bear rag doll in her hand, her face was fat and pink, very cute.

Duan Jiu wiped the tears on his cheeks and asked gently, "Little sister, who are you?"

The girl smiled and said, "My name is Ling'er, brother, don't cry, Ling'er has candy for you to eat." ”

After speaking, Ling'er's little bear doll took out two cubes of candy wrapped in yellow and white oiled paper, stuffed them into Duan Jiu's right hand, and gave Duan Jiu a sweet smile.

Duan Jiu's heart warmed, seeing the candy in his hand and thinking of the situation when his mother stuffed himself with candy during the New Year when he was a child, his eyes instantly moistened again, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Ling'er tilted her head to look at Duan Jiu, holding the rag doll with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand to wipe Duan Jiu's cheek, wanting to wipe Duan Jiu's tears, and said, "Brother, is it Ling'er's candy, I don't like it." ”

Duan Jiu was inexplicably moved, hugged Ling'er into his arms, and cried: "Ling'er, brother, my brother has no mother and father...... Brother, no ......"

Duan Jiu couldn't say any more, and in an instant, he broke down again and cried fiercely. Ling'er said lightly: "Brother, Ling'er doesn't have a mother and a father. ”

When Duan Jiu heard this, his heart suddenly shook, and his tears couldn't be stopped, he pushed Ling'er away and looked at him, only to see that Ling'er didn't mean to be sad, and he seemed very indifferent, but Duan Jiu was even more distressed, and said, "I'm sorry, brother, brother......"

Duan Jiu couldn't speak clearly, he didn't know what to say to comfort Ling'er, and he didn't know how to explain his pain, so he hugged Ling'er into his arms again and hugged him tighter.

In this way, Duan Jiu hugged Ling'er to death, feeling as if he had relatives again, he saw Ling'er at first sight, as if it was his own sister, as if he had already thought about relying on each other in the future, hugging Ling'er made Duan Jiu feel steady, safe, and relaxed.

"Brother, ahem......" Ling'er coughed suddenly, Duan Jiu suddenly understood what Ling'er meant, it must be that he was too tight! Duan Jiu immediately let go of Ling'er, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Ling'er coughed a few times, felt that her throat was much better, shook her head, and said, "It's okay, Ling'er is fine." ”

Duan Jiu fanned the ground around him with his hand, fanned away the dust and sand, patted the floor, and said, "Ling'er, sit down." ”

Ling'er sat down obediently and looked at Duan Jiu and smiled.

Duan Jiu also looked at her and smiled, Ling'er's smile was so contagious, so healing, Duan Jiu instantly felt a lot calmer and more comfortable.

Originally, the two of them sat quietly like this, but Duan Jiu suddenly panicked again: "Ah, Ling'er, are the steamed buns and water that were put here just now yours?" ”

Ling'er shook her head and said with a smile: "That's not Ling'er's, someone specially bought it for my brother." ”

Duan Jiu was surprised, now that he had no relatives, who else would go out of his way to buy steamed buns for him?

Ling'er looked very embarrassed, her two small index fingers were constantly intertwined, and she didn't seem to want to reveal the person's name.

Duan Jiu never made it difficult for others, so he understood what Ling'er meant, and changed the subject: "Then where is Ling'er here, why am I here?"

Ling'er tilted her head and said, "Ling'er doesn't know where this is, someone brought Ling'er up, and you were also brought up." ”

Duan Jiu shrugged his shoulders, although Ling'er's answer was similar to nonsense, which was very disappointing, but Duan Jiu knew that Ling'er was a four or five-year-old child, and she didn't know much, and she seemed to have a lot of unspeakable secrets, maybe she was already a thug who did things for others at such a young age. Duan Jiu not only didn't feel disappointed when he thought about it, but also felt sad and distressed for Ling'er.

Duan Jiu asked again, "Does that Ling'er know what that man brought me to this mountain for? Is he nearby? Isn't he with Ling'er?"

Ling'er shook her head and said, "She has already left, there is only me here, us." ”

With that, Ling'er reached into her arms, took out a book and a letter from her arms, handed them to Duan Jiu, and explained, "This is what she asked Ling'er to hand over to you." ”

Duan Jiu was puzzled in his heart, and took the book and letter in confusion, the envelope was brown and yellow, there was not a word on the cover, the front of the cover of the book was black, the back was white, and there was no text.

Duan Jiu was even more curious, slowly opened the envelope, and took out a piece of paper and a silver ticket of one thousand taels from inside. Duan Jiu opened the paper suspiciously, and there were a few lines written inside-

"King Fengyu is all killed, and the hatred of the exterminating clan is not shared!

If you want to avenge the blood and the sea of blood, you should study the exercises in the book and be ordered by the "owner of the village".

Lie down and taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!
