Chapter 308: Sacrifice
In the cold wind, more than a dozen carriages were connected end to end, and everyone gathered around the carriage headed by them, staring at it in a daze.Chinese
Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Wuyang and others raised their heads, with some disbelief in their eyes, how is this possible, obviously not long ago they were sitting together by the fire talking and laughing, talking about who to visit first after entering the city, where to go to play after that, and also commented on the celebrities in Suzhou...... How can people be gone?
The captain of the guard lifted the curtain with trembling hands and climbed into the carriage. The doctor was kneeling beside him, and when he saw him come in, he sighed and pulled out the needles that had been inserted in his body one by one.
Cui Liang lay silently between the futons, the blood that flowed out of the bedding was blood-red, the chief of the guard reached out to touch him, and found that there was still some temperature, so he looked up at the doctor in a daze.
The doctor watched him silently, and the chief of the guard touched his neck, only to find that there was really no sound at all.
His brow furrowed in pain, as if he was in great pain when he was dying. The captain of the guard felt uncomfortable in his heart, so it was better to die as soon as he fell off his horse, at least he would not suffer for so long in vain.
He wiped his eyes, and knew that the doctor was doing his best, after all, he saw the young master's injuries in his eyes, but he still couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
Hold on a little longer, and they'll be able to get to the Lin family's courtyard. The chief of the guard lifted the curtain, looked at the sons and said in a deep voice: "My son-in-law has gone, what do you want to arrange?" Everyone looked at each other, and finally one of them said: "The deceased is the greatest, naturally Brother Cui is the key, you just have to arrange it." The young people's eyes were a little red, they had a good relationship with Cui Liang, otherwise they wouldn't have gone out with him to study.
The sudden death of a friend made this group of young people who had not experienced life and death very uncomfortable, not to mention that people were still not in front of them.
If I knew this, I wouldn't have chased the deer. But no one in the world knew that this was the case. The chief of the guard glanced at the lights in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Although the young master has passed away, we can't let him leave so untidy, but now that the city gate is finished, where can we clean it up for him?" Everyone also followed his gaze to see the light in the distance, and thought for a while: "Aren't the Cui family and the Lin family friends in the world, although there is something wrong, but you should still ask for it, I heard that the lord of Lin County has always been kind, maybe he is willing to lend us a place to build a white shed." Wuyang had the best relationship with Cui Liang, he wiped his tears and said: "Let's go, when the time comes, a few of us will go and beg for it, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to borrow a place in the village." They also knew that it was disrespectful to bring a corpse to the door, but they couldn't care much at this time, and they had to change into clean clothes for Cui Liang's corpse before he stiffened.
But in this wilderness, how can there be water to wash them? The people took care of it and began to rush towards the light.
But the people in the team had different thoughts, and the guards were trying to think about whether this was an accident or someone was planning to return to Cui's house, and they didn't know if they could save their lives.
Wuyang and the others were also thinking, replaying the scene in their minds over and over again, when Cui Liang was about to grab the saddle, how could he withdraw his hand again?
Is it unsteady grasping, or not grasping, miscalculation? The convoy soon arrived at the gate of the Lin family's courtyard, and Wuyang and another friend, He Xiu, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
It gets dark early in winter, and Lin Qingwan also goes to bed early, not to mention that it is still the middle of the night, although she has something on her mind, she still goes to bed early.
But she couldn't sleep well, and she woke up when there was a sound outside, and when she opened her eyes, she heard the sound of gently pushing the door, and Bai Feng walked in cautiously.
Lin Qingwan heard her footsteps, got up and asked,
"What?" Bai Feng immediately lit the lamp and came in, and whispered: "A group of people came outside, saying that it was the sons of the family in Henan Mansion, and it seems that one of them was seriously injured and died, and they wanted to ask us to build a white shed on a piece of land." Lin Qingwan's heart moved, lifted the quilt and got out of bed,
"Did you make it clear who it was?"
"The sting is waiting outside, and the slave doesn't hear it clearly, or the slave and maid will let him in." Lin Qingwan nodded while quickly getting dressed, Bai Tang quickly took the cloak and covered her, and asked in a low voice,
"Auntie, aren't you grooming?"
"There's no hurry." She went out with her hair draped in her head. Shocked and cold, he came in, and after a salute, he said, "It's the Cui family, aunt and grandmother, do you want to inform Mr. Cui?" It seems that they are still peers. Lin Qingwan paused, and said lightly: "The city gate is closed, let people notify you immediately when it is dawn." Lin Qingwan went to the front in person, the door opened, Wuyang and the others saw a group of people surrounding a woman coming here, they couldn't help but glance at it, their eyes flashed with amazement, and after a while, they realized her identity and hurriedly lowered their heads.
Lin Qingwan asked straight to the point,
"Who died?" The captain of the guard hurriedly stepped forward and saluted,
"This is Lord Lin? The small one is the guard of the Qinghe Cui clan, and the one in the car is our young master. His eyes were slightly red, and he bowed down and said, "The little one also knows that this is a lot of disturbance, but I also ask the county lord to atone for my disrespectful crimes, it is really my young master......"
"Can I take a look?" Lin Qingwan looked at the carriage and interrupted him. The chief of the guard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Naturally, I can, but I'm afraid of scaring the county lord." Then he led her into the carriage.
At this time, only Yinmo and the doctor were in the car, Yinmo was still crying bitterly, and when he saw the curtain opened, his eyes were red, and when he saw that the guard chief was so respectful, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and quickly knelt aside, and Lin Qingwan saw the person lying in the car.
She stepped forward with a blank face and looked at him condescendingly. Cui Liang, although she had never seen him, but she had seen his portrait, she asked softly, "How did you get this?" "The chief of the guard is sad,
"Accidentally fell off a horse." It was retribution, Lin Qingwan glanced at him lightly, and withdrew from the carriageway: "Our Lin Cui family is a world friend, and it is only natural to help each other." I'm going to let people build white sheds. The head of the guard breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan asked Jing Yu to build a few white sheds next to the courtyard, and asked people to boil hot water to wipe Cui Liang's body.
"There are no adult men's clothes in my house, this filial piety clothes ......" The chief of the guard immediately said: "Our young master has a few sets of new clothes that have not been worn, but we can use them first, and then buy them after entering the city tomorrow." Lin Qingwan bowed her head, glanced at the young people standing next to her, and said gently: "If you don't dislike it, you will spend the night in my guest house tonight?" Wuyang and the others glanced at each other, and hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the county lord, we will just guard Brother Cui." "Everyone is restless, where can they sleep?
Lin Qingwan didn't force them, and she didn't go back, she watched as she led the long-term workers to build three white sheds, and generously asked people to move a bed out of the guest room for Cui Liang to lie down.
The head of the guard, Yinmo and the doctor endured their grief to wipe Cui Liang's body before putting on his clothes. He was so badly injured that he looked embarrassed even when he changed into clean clothes.
Lin Qingwan waited for him to change his clothes and then went in to take a look, and said after a while: "There is no coffin here in the courtyard, but there are some old people in the village, but the wood is not good, I am afraid that Cui Gongzi will not look down on it." Seeing that Lin Qingwan was so thoughtful, the chief of the guard couldn't help but be moved: "Thank you county lord, we will enter the city early tomorrow morning, there is really no need to be so troublesome." Lin Qingwan nodded and asked softly,
"Then can I burn some paper money here and put incense on the pillars?" The chief of the guard was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded and said, "Of course you can." "Although the mourning hall has not been set up yet, there is no need to rush to pay tribute at this time, but Lord Lin is also kind, of course he will not refuse.
Then Lin Qingwan went back to the inner courtyard, and she said to Bai Feng: "Go and call Mrs. up and ask her to accompany me to the front to burn incense." Bai Feng was stunned,
"Madame is old, and she is an elder, and she is more exposed at this time, so she doesn't need to, right?"
"Go and call her," Lin Qingwan glanced at her lightly and said, "Let her dress up better." Lin Qingwan asked Bai Tang to dress herself up, although she was wearing plain clothes, she looked grand.
Mrs. Yang was still a little confused, so she simply pulled her hair,
"What's going on up front?" Lin Qingwan turned around and smiled at her, helping her to walk in front, Bai Feng and the others took a few steps back smartly, and Mama Yang thought about it and stepped back a little.
Lin Qingwan said softly: "Mother, let's go and put incense on Erlang and let him know that the revenge has been avenged." "And Sister Wan'er, whether they go to reincarnation or not, you have to let them know about it.
Mrs. Yang was shocked and stopped to look at her. Lin Qingwan dipped her head in a sneer and said: "It was Cui Liang of the Cui family who died, and it was he who instructed people to seduce Xie Yiyang back then, and the medicine that could make the horse crazy also came from his hands." Madame Yang grasped her hand tightly.
Lin Qingwan's eyes were deep, and she said in a low voice: "However, the retribution is not happy, I didn't expect him to die from falling from a horse in the end, and it happened that he wanted to borrow me here to build a white shed." She sneered: "That's fine, it's just a good time to pay tribute to Erlang." "Sister Hewan.
Mrs. Yang's face was slightly pale, but her eyes became more and more determined, and she dragged Lin Qingwan's hand towards the door. There was already a low cry in the white shed, and Mrs. Yang took Lin Qingwan's hand in, and saw the young man lying on the bed at a glance.
There was bitter hatred in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her eyes, she didn't think it was an accident, how could it be so coincidental that Cui Liang died when he arrived in Suzhou?
She had a hidden guess in her heart, so it was even more difficult to cause trouble for Lin Qingwan. She suppressed the emotion in her eyes, silently stepped forward and took a handful of paper money to burn, the tears in her eyes were imprinted with the firelight, and there was a moment of blur in front of her.
Cui Liang's luck was much better than hers, Erlang's flesh and blood were blurred when he was carried back, and his body was trampled by horses.
She took a deep breath and silently read in her heart: "Erlang, have you seen it, your enemies have all brought down your daughter-in-law." Lin Qingwan squatted aside and burned the paper silently, but what she read in her heart was the names of Xie Erlang and Sister Wan.
The chief of the guard didn't know Mrs. Yang, but he knew that she was not low when he looked at her dress, and when he saw that the two of them were so sincere, he couldn't help wiping his tears for a while.
I have to talk back to the old men when I go back, and the Cui family owes the Lin family a favor in this matter. But Wuyang, who was kneeling on the side, stared at Mrs. Yang as if she had been struck by lightning, and her face was miserable and white.
