348. Hope
That village is in the territory of Nanshao, and the itinerary is very slow, because I am afraid that the body of dyed blue should not be too tired, so I will stop from time to time to rest. Stop-and-go, the itinerary that could have been reached in half a month was nearly a month, and I finally found that small village.
It's winter and spring, and the wildflowers are blooming all around. Dye Qing quietly stared at the village a hundred meters away, remembering that when she left, she had also stood here and looked back, thinking that she might not come back again in this life, but she didn't think that after more than a year, she would return to this place.
In the rape field in the past, Shi Niang shouted loudly, and her words were still in her ears. I wonder if she and the stone are okay now? It is not appropriate for too many people to enter the village together, and I wanted to walk in alone with Chen Qing's ashes, but Qin Tiance insisted on being together, so he could only accept it helplessly. The rest of the people stayed where they were, and the two of them walked slowly into the village, following their memories to find their home.
But seeing that the door was closed, I secretly thought that maybe Shi Niang went to work in the field, and Shi was still taking classes in a private school. Suddenly, a puzzled voice came from behind him: "Who are you looking for?" The two turned to look back, but saw a middle-aged man standing there, dressed in cloth and trousers, with a hoe in his hand, apparently having just returned from working in the field.
I was stunned in my heart, looking at this man's posture, he should be the master of this house, what about the stone and the stone lady? Where did they go? Don't...... Really went out to find her? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sink my heart, it was the letter she left at the beginning, didn't they believe it? They have never been out of the village, how can they survive when they go out?
"Dad, I'm back." A crisp child's voice, Dye Qing was immediately pleased, who is the boy standing there who is not a stone? It turned out that this middle-aged uncle was his father, and he actually came back.
When Shi saw a man and a woman standing at the door of his house, he couldn't help asking, "Dad, ...... are they?"
Dye Qing hurriedly said: "We are passing by, and we want to ask for a glass of water to drink." Qin Tiance raised his eyebrows and did not expose her.
Father Shi smiled honestly and said politely: "Then come in, the house is relatively simple." From his conversation, it can be seen that he has seen the world outside, and he is back to rely on Shi Niang and Shishi, after all, orphans and widows are too lonely.
The furnishings in the house have not changed much, but it makes Dye Qing's heart warm, she has lived here for more than half a year, and every table and chair are so kind. When I heard Shi Niang's loud voice, my nose suddenly began to sour, and I lowered my head so that the moisture in my eyes didn't gush out.
It turned out that it was noon, and Shi Niang rushed back to cook. When I saw two strangers in the house, I was stunned for a moment, and then I was relieved to hear the stone explain that they had come to beg for water. Judging from the clothes of the two, they knew that they might be from the big town, so they went into the kitchen to boil water and cook.
Dye Qing waited until the figure of the stone lady disappeared behind the door before turning her gaze back, but she was facing the curious gaze of the stone and couldn't help but smile at him. On the contrary, the stone lowered his head a little shyly, but he couldn't help but look at her secretly, and finally couldn't help but say, "Sister, you are really good-looking." ”
Father Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly apologized: "The child is not sensible, please bear with me." ”
Qin Tiance finally opened his mouth and said the first sentence after entering the door: "It's okay." "Since this was once the place where the soul of Dye Qing resided, they can also be regarded as her family, and what the boy said is also true, his Dye Qing is naturally good-looking.
After the topic opened, Father Shi tried to talk to them, and he also saw that these two people must have extraordinary identities, and their bearing alone was different from ordinary people. Speaking of a certain place, Dye Qing suddenly asked: "Do you have a son in the family?" The question was very abrupt, Shi Dad was stunned, and before he could figure out how to reply, Shi Niang walked out with tea, and happened to hear Dye Qing's question, and her face darkened.
Shi couldn't understand the adult's face, and had already preemptively said, "No, I still have a sister." ”
Father Shi sighed: "There is indeed a daughter, but also to blame me for being away all the year round, leaving the family to their mothers, half a year ago my eldest daughter actually went out of the village, I went to explore a few times, and I don't know where I went." ”
"Dad, my sister will be back. Wouldn't she be able to write letters? It proves that her madness has been cured, and the handwriting on the letter is better than that of the gentleman. "Stone's eyes were full of adoration.
Shi Niang also took over and said: "Yes, the young girl will come back one day, maybe she wants to go out for a walk after she recovers, but no matter how far she goes, this is always her home." Although he said this, his face was full of emotion and melancholy.
Qin Tiance glanced sideways at the dyed blue beside him, if he wanted to tell the truth, this was the best opportunity. saw that she just smiled at the corner of her lips, and did not make a sound, but stood up and took the kettle from Shi Niang's hand and skillfully poured water into the teapot.
The stone lady's eyes flashed with surprise, and she secretly thought that the girl from the city would do this kind of work, because the spout of the kettle was very long, and it was very necessary to pour water into the teapot, and she had to rely on the force of her wrist to break the whole kettle, and then tilt it slightly, and the spout should not be raised too high, otherwise the water would splash outside.
After the teapot was filled with water, Dye Qing put the kettle on the ground, and his wrist felt slightly sore. She used to do this work often, and she thought it was very simple, but she didn't think that it would be difficult to do it this time, but it was tangible but weak.
After drinking a cup of tea, Dye Qing took the initiative to get up and say goodbye, and when she walked out of the door, she looked back at the family of three again, and finally smiled and turned to leave.
Qin Tiance walked beside her, and didn't ask until he left the village: "Why don't you tell them the details, aren't you coming back to send the ashes?" Now the urn was still in his hand, wrapped in a piece of cloth.
Ran Qing smiled lightly and said, "Since they thought in their hearts that Chen Qing had gone to a distant place and would come back one day, why should they be sad and sad after knowing the truth?" It is better to have hope than to despair. "This trip can be regarded as a wish, the stone father is back, no longer have to worry about the life of the stone lady, they live in hope every day, and firmly believe that one day their young girl will come back.
Climbing a small hill, she buried Chen Qing's ashes in the soil without a tombstone. Dust to dust, dust to dust, Chen Qing is back, and she will stay here forever to accompany her family.
Without disturbing the quiet countryside, the convoy quietly headed back. Dye Qing closed his eyes and leaned on the cushion, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling in his ears, and his heart was at a loss, where are you going next? Go back to Shinonome? A trace of pain rose from the bottom of my heart, and I suddenly thought of Chang'an. Isn't it the same as that stone lady? Chang'an only thought that she had gone far away and would go back one day.
He must be happy when she goes back to see Chang'an now, but one day she suddenly disappears in front of his eyes, and even takes away his father, what a heavy blow to Chang'an? And Livzon, do you want her to endure grief again?
No, she can't go back to Donun!
Qin Tiance had been holding her hand tightly, but suddenly felt her hand tremble, and saw that her eyes were closed, and they were full of panic. I was about to ask, when I suddenly felt that the carriage suddenly stopped, and the sound of the blade drawing scraped into my eardrums.
"Protect the Lord!"
What's wrong? Why is Han Xiao so nervous all of a sudden, that is, Dye Qing does not know martial arts, and he can also see from the curtains of the car windows on both sides that the purple guards are all gathered around their carriage, as if they are guarding against something.
Qin Tiance lowered his voice: "You're inside, I'll go out and take a look." Then the man got out of the carriage, and when he saw the image in front of him, his phoenix eyes narrowed. Fifty meters in front of their carriage, there were soldiers standing densely packed, and from the color of the armor, it should be the Southern Army. According to visual estimates, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are blocking that side.
Dye Qing lifted the curtain slightly, she naturally recognized that it was the color of the armor of Nanshao's military horse, could it be that Wei Yu returned to China to report that Nanshaoguo wanted to avenge the death of the king? So who is driving all this, provoking the war?
A small group of soldiers and horses from the Southern camp slowly galloped towards this side, and the man at the head was particularly tall, and it was clear from the helmet on his head that this person was a general. Getting closer and closer, and finally seeing the person's face clearly, Dye Qing was shocked in his heart, it was actually Shen Mo!
At this time, I remembered that this time when I saw Nanyue Chen in Beiding, I really didn't see Shen Mo follow, and I didn't even see him in the end. Looking at the gray army behind him, it must have been Nanyue Chen who had sent Shen Mo to garrison the border between Nanshao and Beiding early, in case of emergency.
It was her fault that she insisted on taking this path back to the nameless village, but she led them to a dead end. There are only Ziwei and others on their side, no matter how good Qin Tiance and Han Xiao's martial arts are, it will be difficult to resist these thousands of troops!
Shen Mo had already arrived, he looked at this side coldly, his eyes were fixed on the carriage, and from his place, he could see that the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the slender fingers and white gauze skirt were exposed. Fluctuating in my heart, is it her?
Qin Tiance stepped forward, blocking his sight, secretly lucky. In fact, he is not afraid, his divine consciousness has been restored, and he can naturally go down to the enchantment, even if it is thousands of troops, he can't break through. But I heard Shen Mo suddenly speak lightly: "Please Ning Ranqing come out to meet, there will be an edict from the king." ”
Dye Qing was shocked, and the dust of South Vietnam was left behind? He had already expected that he would die, and he wrote the edict before going to Beiding? Without further hesitation, he opened the curtain door and got out of the carriage. Qin Tiance's face fell, he didn't want her to care about Nan Shao's affairs anymore, it could be seen that she was already eager to jump out of the carriage, so she had to step forward and grab her and carry the person to the ground.
Shen Mo's gaze can no longer be separated, her stunning face is her, the white clothes are fluttering, the eyebrows and eyes are her, it's really her! I sighed with joy in my heart: she is not dead......
He rolled off his horse, and the other soldiers who came with him also fell off their horses.
This Fang Ziwei and the others were already secretly on guard, preparing to attack as soon as Shen Mo moved. saw that Shen Mo lifted his gray robe, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he slowly bent his knees and knelt on the ground.
