Chapter 203: A Chance Encounter Here
I walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened my head inside, only to see a middle-aged woman in sackcloth squatting in the courtyard burning paper money, her face was quite sad, and she was muttering something while burning her mouth.
Looking at her outfit, this family should be dead. I'm used to running the mourning hall with my third uncle, and I'm familiar with this kind of thing. It's just that when I look outside the gate of this courtyard, I don't see the white couplet, and I don't see the spirit flag, and the courtyard is also deserted, only this one woman is there, which is very strange.
I only glanced outside the door, and I didn't dare to rush in, because it was still taboo to break into someone's door at this time. Originally, I wanted to go first, but when I was leaving, I saw that on the west side of the courtyard, there were actually six coffins stopped in one go, four large and two small, lined up.
I couldn't help but gasp for air, I'm afraid there is no family all of a sudden. I've just walked here from the town, and I haven't heard anyone say anything about any serious infectious diseases in this place recently, of course, I have encountered more than one such thing with my third uncle, often the kind of bloody case, or a family car accident.
Originally, I couldn't say that this matter was strange, but as soon as I got closer, I found that the qi in this house was extremely abnormal, and there was a faint hint of gloom.
As soon as I was so distracted, I stood outside the door for a little longer. The woman in sackcloth looked up, and when she saw me, she had an angry expression on her face, and when she came up, she closed the courtyard door with a bang.
I touched a gray nose, looked back at Aoko, and only heard her say, "Let's go." And he went on his way. I had to keep up, and when I looked back, I always felt that this house was very weird.
When I got to the front, I finally found a small restaurant to eat. The tables and chairs had been used for a long time, and they looked dark, but the guys in this shop were diligent and clean. After sitting with Qingzi, I thought about it and asked the guy to serve a few local specialties.
As a result, the first plate that came up was a plate of stinky mandarin fish. I'm a little unaccustomed to it, but I can barely eat it. As for Aoko, she didn't even move her chopsticks. She always liked to eat only fresh, and in the end she only ate a few mouthfuls of green vegetables and then gave up, and sat there drinking tea. The rest of the dishes can't be wasted, so I can only wrap it up.
While eating, I accidentally glanced outside, and saw a paper shop opposite, full of colorful paper figures, coins and the like. There was a young woman in sackcloth, leaning against the shopkeeper's cabinet, looking at us.
I thought it was strange and looked at her. This woman looked like she was about twenty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but her eyes were red and swollen, her face was haggard, and she was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety clothes, about the family members in the dead man's house just now.
I took a look, but I didn't know it, so I didn't care about it. I ate for a while, but when I looked up, I found that the woman was still looking this way, so I smiled and said to Qingzi, "Someone is secretly watching you!" ”
Aoko ignored me. I said, "You're still a young girl, and it's because you're good-looking." As he spoke, we saw the young woman come out of the paper shop and walk straight towards us.
Seeing me look at her, she walked more hurriedly, and soon came to us, with a pair of big red and swollen eyes, looked at Qingzi, and looked at me, pulled at her clothes with one hand, was stunned for a while, bit her lip and asked, "That...... You...... Are you Lu Jing? ”
I couldn't help but be surprised, I looked at this woman carefully, but I still didn't have any impression.
Seeing that I didn't reply, the woman looked at Aoko, bit her lip, approached us, and said in a low voice, "You guys...... Didn't you ...... on Cinnabar Island before?"
As soon as she said this, I was taken aback. This woman is also smart, and she saw the change in my expression just now, her eyes were red, and she said happily: "I...... I've seen you on Cinnabar Island...... I am a disciple of the Qingwei sect. ”
As soon as she said this, I looked at it a few more times and got some impressions. It seems that she was standing among the young disciples of the Qingwei faction at the beginning, but now she is wearing a filial piety robe, and I just glanced at it at that time, so I didn't think about it for a while.
After being reminded by her, and after recalling it carefully, she remembered that she was the Qingwei female disciple who was seriously injured and lying on the ground and raised her hand to receive the hero's order.
After the battle on Cinnabar Island, I had a very good impression of the Qingwei faction, and I liked this female disciple who was seriously injured and still wanted to receive the heroic order, so I hurriedly stood up and asked her to come and sit down.
The woman blushed slightly, sat down next to us, said her name was Chen Lin, and looked at Qingzi cautiously. I couldn't help but laugh a little and said, "Thank you so much for that day." "I said thank you for being able to take the Hero Order in such a situation. Although she represented Qingwei at that time, she was in the face of the heroic order, not me, but I also want to say thank you.
Chen Lin blushed and said, "I still have to thank you for saving your life." As he spoke, he peeked at Aoko again. I couldn't help but laugh secretly, although Qingzi was beautiful, she was very magnificent, coupled with her performance on Cinnabar Island that day, it was estimated that this innocent female disciple was shocked.
I laughed and said, "This is my family, you don't have to see it." "I'm not wrong to say that, we all live in the same house, what is not family?
Chen Lin hurriedly said to Qingzi: "Miss Lu, thank you so much that day." ”
When I heard this, I almost squirted out a sip of tea. Seeing that Qingzi's eyes were full of anger and looked at me, my heart was even more happy. Actually, Lu Qing is also quite good.
I asked what happened after we left. Listening to Chen Lin, at that time, they were killed and injured heavily, the two elders died horizontally, and several young disciples were unconscious except for her, who was still slightly conscious. After I was taken away by Qingzi, the group of people who were buried at that time also withdrew, but there was no more conflict.
I specifically asked Ma Boss how they were. This Chen Lin was watching from the sidelines, and was probably very impressed by the relationship between me and Boss Ma, and immediately said that they were taken away by the young man surnamed Gu, and then they were in the same boat as them.
I let out an "oh" and was finally relieved. Chen Lin also said that because the Maoshan faction was in the same boat as the young man surnamed Gu, they resolutely refused to ride with them because they were in the same family, and ended up on the boat of the incense burning party.
When I thought about it, I understood why. On the same day in the battle on Cinnabar Island, the red-faced chamber of the Qingwei faction was killed by the white-faced demon on the spot with evil magic, the Maoshan faction and the Qingwei faction belong to the same Daomen, and they are one of the three major sects of Fu Gong. It is no wonder that this group of disciples has such a grudge against the Maoshan Sect.
Chen Lin also mentioned Liu Zining, so she asked me: "Sister Zining said that you are her younger brother, is that so?" ”
I said yes, I haven't seen each other in years. Chen Lin was overjoyed and said, "Then can you help me?" After speaking, he peeked at Qingzi who was drinking tea nervously.
I glanced at her mourning clothes and vaguely guessed something. I only heard Chen Lin say: "After we returned to Quanzhou that day, we were originally going to immediately escort the bodies of my master and uncle back to the main gate. When I saw her say this, my eyes suddenly turned even redder, and I couldn't help but think that the elder surnamed Qiu still had a body to give, and the red-faced man had been hit by the evil magic of the white-faced demon, and his bones were shattered, and there was really nothing left.
After listening to what Chen Lin said, I realized that the elder surnamed Qiu who used the Yang Soul Split was Liu Zining and Chen Lin's master.
I didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so I could only wait for her to calm down and say, "But just as we were about to leave, I received news from a fellow disciple who stayed in Quanzhou at the time, saying that my father had passed away and asked me to go home quickly." I had to let Sister Zining and them take care of my master and uncle, and I hurried back home by myself. When I got home, I found out that all six members of my father's family had gone. ”
After listening to her, I was almost certain that she was indeed the daughter of the family from before. I described the house and asked her if it was her house. Chen Lin nodded again and again, saying that it was there.
I said I happened to be passing by and saw only one woman burning paper inside. Chen Lin reddened and said that it was her mother. I felt a little strange, but after listening to her, I realized that Chen Lin's mother and his father had divorced many years ago. Her father had already married someone else. Chen Lin followed her mother.
