Chapter 12: A Sword and a Burden

This matter cannot be solved by Hui Niang's death alone, and during the investigation, I learned that many people were involved behind it.

Hui Niang can eat one person at most ten days apart, she will definitely not let herself be hungry to the limit in the Lin family and eat again, and the Lin family can't imagine how many people she has secretly harmed.

Although Yuan Jiyue was invited down from the mountain by Mrs. Chen, the palace added the emperor's order to her, and the results of the investigation of the case were to be explained to the palace.

On the third day of the ninth month, she went to Chen's house to meet with Mrs. Chen, first, to return the jade pendant to her, and second, she led the way to the study, and wrote down the incident with paper, which specifically made it clear that they remembered to take someone to investigate the Lin family thoroughly. After confirming that it is correct, it is sealed and handed over to Mrs. Chen, waiting for her to hand it over to the palace.

So far, this case has nothing to do with her.

She politely declined Mrs. Chen's invitation to stay in the mansion, and still went back to the Dong Mansion to borrow it.

Dong's mansion is full of white.

On the second night of the new year, Dong Yuanyuan failed to get off the stage.

In addition to her, the people in her house wore mourning clothes up and down, and hung white silk on the eaves of the cloister. Many people were sent to the mourning hall, most of whom were self-made people who followed him in the business, and he didn't make any friends in Luoyang.

After his death, there was no ancestral tomb to enter, and he didn't want to stay in Luoyang, who tortured him, Uncle Liu single-handedly explained his future affairs, and decided to let him stop in Dongfu, and send him back to Guixiang City on the day of the funeral.

Yuan Jiyue came to give him a stick of incense every day, until the day of his funeral, she brought not incense but a soul lamp this time.

She has the identity to put it herself.

He straightened his waist and put the lamp at the head of the coffin, did not invite anyone to paint the makeup of the people in the coffin, his unpowdered face was clean, his hair was neatly combed, he was wearing the cheapest cloth clothes, he did not put any funeral goods for him, washed all the lead, and let his sleeves go away.

Good walk.

She said silently in her heart.

His eyes swept around, but he didn't see Dong Manman's figure.

Uncle Liu hadn't spoken since she came in, he bowed three times to the direction of the coffin, closed his eyes and said to her, "It's full in my room." ”

Dong Manman is a filial child, and he can insist on kneeling when Master Chen dies, let alone change to his eldest brother. For seven days, he kept watching, kowtowing from time to time, and kept talking to Dong Yuanyuan, the water and rice did not enter the first three days, but on the fourth day, Uncle Liu couldn't stand it, and said in a dumb voice, "The eldest young master, he is so easy to leave with peace of mind, but his soul is still there, how can you calm down when you see you like this?" For the sake of persuasion, I coaxed him to drink a bowl of soufflé, so that he didn't fall down.

Persuasion, no one ever mentioned that he should go back to rest. This is the eldest brother who is good to him with his heart and lungs, the eldest brother is like a father, don't say he is willing, even if he is unwilling, he must keep it, and he must insist on it more than anyone else!

After a few days, as soon as they enter the ground, they will really never see each other again, and this is their last chance to get along.

Yuan Jiyue had already found out the Dong Mansion and found Dong Manman with a familiar car.

The door is wide open.

Su Min was wrapped in her body, her small body wearing a small silver crown was facing away from her, and her hands were on the mattress. Yuan Jiyue went to look and saw a piece of cloth spread on the quilt, and there were a bunch of things on the cloth, some of which were very old.

She called Dong Manman.

"Immortal Master."

Hearing someone call him, he raised his head, glanced at Yuan Jiyue, and responded carefully. Fu turned his head again, kept moving his hands, smoothed the wrinkles of the cloth, and said to her with a crying voice: "These are the ...... I have hidden for a long time"

He said about a box of rouge: "This is a new rouge developed at home two years ago, made of peony flowers, the red one is beautiful and very fragrant." The eldest brother took it and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly wiped it on my mouth, saying that we are full of flowers, and this is the most suitable to use. After applying it, he couldn't laugh and wiped it on his sleeve, saying that our family is a boy, and this thing is like a female doll. ”

He pointed to the Nine Rings again: "The first time we celebrated the New Year, I was sleepy during the New Year, and my eldest brother hugged me to accompany me to solve the Nine Chains ......"

Brie is not a rare treasure, but in Dong Manman's opinion, these are far more precious than jewelry and jade, everything that has something to do with his eldest brother is secretly preserved, and the fragile ones are packed in boxes, and every origin is engraved in his heart. The shadow puppet toys at the Lantern Festival, the rabbits made of flower cloth, and the wish signs made by the flower dynasty are all like a number of treasures.

"Ordinary swords are as tall as mine, and I can't hold them, so my eldest brother specially found someone to create a two-foot-long short sword for me." Silently picked up the sword that grew to his heart, saying that it was a short sword, and it was the same as a long sword when he used it. The little hand clutched the accessories hanging on the hilt of the sword, which was a blessing knot woven with red thread, and a small ceramic tiger of the same color was strung under the knot, with three straight horizontal lines on the forehead, round eyes, fierce and cute, and a long tassel hanging down at the bottom, "When I was sent to the White Tiger Hall, the eldest brother told me not to be afraid, there is a little tiger to protect me for him, the tiger is the most powerful!" Woo...... My little tiger is my big brother......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help it, buried his head in the sword and cried so much that he couldn't help himself.

Such a good big brother, he didn't know that when he was suffering, when he was about to run out of energy, he was still boxing in the White Tiger Hall peacefully.

"I'm so stupid, I don't even know my eldest brother, I don't know ...... eldest brother"

"We have the heart to hide it from you, how can you tell."

Yuan Jiyue squatted down to dig out his face, holding his chin to prevent him from hiding anymore. Pulling his own handkerchief to dry his face, he put two fingers to his eyelids, and the skin in his hands was really hot, and his eyes were swollen.

When has his tears stopped for so many days, I'm really afraid that he will wither. She subconsciously softened her voice: "How can you be stupid." ”

Dong Manman kept shaking his head: "It's just stupid!" If I were smarter and could see it, I would, I could ......."

"It's the same as it is now."

"Then you can spend more time with your big brother!"

"Haven't you been with him these days, not just these days, but you have made him feel the warmest in the past few years." Yuan Jiyue was afraid that he would shake himself unconscious, so she changed to holding his face with both hands, "If he doesn't tell you, he's afraid you'll cry, he wants you to laugh one more day!" ”

"I don't want to cry, my eldest brother will feel distressed." Dong Manman blinked his moist eyes, "I just can't help it." ”

Yuan Jiyue smiled slightly: "So no one told you not to cry, otherwise your eldest brother will not raise you for nothing." ”

Dong Manman's nose was sour, and he held the sword tightly in his arms. As soon as the tears fell, he wiped them away with the back of his hand, and replied to her seriously: "Big brother also guessed that I couldn't help it, he said that I could cry for seven days at most, and when he left, I must laugh, and I must laugh in the future!" ”

"Listen to him." Yuan Jiyue withdrew her hand, stared at the pretending to be a strong villain, and couldn't bear to speak, "Do you know how your eldest brother planned for you?" ”

After the case is over, she should also go back to her teacher to resume her life, but it has been delayed for so long because of Dong Manman.

Because Dong Yuanyuan's funeral affairs have not been completed, she has not asked his opinion, and now Uncle Liu is waiting outside, waiting to send Dong Yuanyuan back to Guixiang City, it is time for her to ask.

Dong Manman's mind was empty for a while.

His eldest brother held his hand that night in Ewha Garden, and he was so weak that it was difficult to breathe, but he still talked to him a lot. He finally figured it out, but he didn't care about that, he just wanted his eldest brother to be okay, and he didn't want to hear anything else.

Dong Yuanyuan's deep voice has been wandering in his head, and he remembers every word he said, but when he wanted to connect these words, he found that he couldn't do it at all.

He thought hard for a long time before he remembered what Dong Yuanyuan said.

He said he was free, and that's a good thing.

Before leaving, he tried his best to plan a way out for him, and asked him for the opportunity to enter the Wangshu Sect, afraid that he would be alone and unable to adapt, and the masters he found were all known to him.

Understanding why Yuan Jiyue asked, he replied: "The eldest brother said that the immortal master is willing to accept me as a disciple. ”

"That's what it means." She said, "Will you come with me?" If you have other aspirations and don't want to practice with humans... It's okay, I'll do my best to protect you, and if you have any troubles, you can come to me in the future. ”

"I do." Dong Manman's expression was firm, "Big brother has always wanted me to be able to protect myself, so he sent me to the White Tiger Hall, and now he wants to send me to Wangshu Sect." ”

He won't analyze the pros and cons of going or not going, he only knows that Dong Yuanyuan must be for his good.

He must not be disappointed.

He wants to follow the Yuan Immortal Master to practice and not let others suffer anymore.

I am glad that even if he doesn't point out how much effort Dong Yuanyuan has spent in order to let him learn spells, and how long he has been worried about it, he can understand Dong Yuanyuan's hard work. Yuan Jiyue pinched his round cheeks: "You have to think about it, if you agree, you will go to the mountains with me, you have to practice seriously, you can't see Uncle Liu and Luoyang's partners from time to time." ”

"Uncle Liu is no longer in Luoyang." Dong Manman whispered, "The eldest brother said that Uncle Liu misses Guixiangcheng very much, and he used to stay for us, but now he can rest assured." ”

Uncle Liu pretended to be Dong Yuanyuan in his heart for the first half of his life, and killed another Dong Manman halfway, which was destined for him to care about the affairs of the two of them for the rest of his life. Now that Dong Yuanyuan has left, Dong Manman also has a good way to learn art, and his empty heart has nothing to worry about.

He's not young, and if he doesn't do what he likes, he won't have a chance.

She should have thought that Uncle Liu had recently placed the objects in the mansion, and the locks that should be locked should be collected, it should be that Dong Manman listened to Dong Yuanyuan's words from the beginning to apprentice, because he had already told Uncle Liu about Dong Yuanyuan's decision.

Uncle Liu is afraid that he will not come back when he helps Ling leave today.

And Dong Manman is now packing his bags, and he is also ready to leave at any time.

His family is gone, and there is no point in him staying a few more days.

"Then from now on, I will be your master." Yuan Jiyue's eyes softened, "I'll send off the eldest prince first, and I'll take you away." ”

"Meet the Master!"

promised to accept the apprentice, and also agreed to apprentice, and the two have been masters and apprentices from then on.

I don't know what the rules of the monks are, Dong Manman remembered that when he recognized the masters of the White Tiger Hall as teachers, he had to kowtow, and now he should worship the Yuan Immortal Master, and he said that he would bow to the teacher.

These two brothers have the same character, and they kneel and kowtow so suddenly.

was already distressed, but after being accepted as an apprentice, he naturally felt even more sorry for him, and when he hadn't touched the ground, he was picked up by Yuan Jiyue and hugged him, rubbed his knees and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt. Full of kowtow yet......"

"When you recover from your injury, look back at Shu Zong and knock again, don't worry." With a wave of her hand, the cloth on the bed was wrapped in a burden and tied up, and flew into her hand along with the sword on the ground.

She is not a calculating person, and it makes no difference to her when and where to worship. But she has accepted this apprentice for a hundred years, and she must bring it back to Wangshu Zong to pay a few respects.

After taking two steps, the two of them turned back at the same time, and then glanced at the place where Dong Manman had lived for nine years.

At this time, only one sword and one burden were taken away.
