Volume 3: Zhongzhou Fengyun Chapter 112: The Night of the Full Moon
Compared with Yang Ming's scenery, Lao Lu and Tang Ke's trip to the East China Sea was not so smooth.
Although it was said that the soldiers of Miyun Banner were going to the East China Sea with great fanfare, they were also dusty along the way.
The most unbearable thing for Lu Cheng is Zhang Laosi's broken gong and loud voice!
Every day when it was not dawn, he shouted there with a broken gong, shouting so that Lu Chengjue couldn't sleep well.
Tang Er's family is even more miserable, on the official road from Yunjing to the East China Sea, the biggest resting point is the village and town.
This little village doesn't even have a decent restaurant, let alone the girl he likes?
So Lu Cheng and Tang Ke can't eat well or sleep well every day.
Not to mention the dilemma of Lu Cheng and Tang Ke, Lin Ruo was not in a very good mood along the way.
Along the way, Lin Ruo had been riding a horse alone and following behind Lao Lu, and Tang Xin had no chance to get close at all.
Only a few times did Tang Xin send Li Yan over to send her a few baskets of fruits, but Lin Ruo didn't move much.
Although this seems that Lin Ruo is a little affectionate, she is still a little resistant to Tang Xin at present.
Whether it is due to Lin Nian's death or the resistance to the marriage contract.
This emotion is not something that can be dissipated in a moment.
If you want to say who is the most enthusiastic along the way, it must be Zhang Laosi.
He had long been accustomed to this kind of rush, and he carried it in the camp of Miyun Banner every day, and he felt that his ass was about to grow mushrooms.
Finally, he had a job, and he was naturally happiest to be able to come out and run for a run.
Get up before dawn to practice, and set up camp as soon as it gets dark.
The soldiers were miserable, but Zhang Laosi enjoyed it.
"I wonder, where did this mountain cannon come from with such a big spirit!"
Sitting in the camp tent, Tang Ke buckled his toes boredly, looking at Lu Cheng who was lying on the bed like a corpse, he shook his head.
"Originally, I was supposed to sit under the starry sky and moon with a group of beautiful Oiran, talking about life and ideals, but the result!"
"I can only guard a drunken you! You are neither gentle nor beautiful, and you do not listen to people!"
"Lu Cheng, I don't have a girl all day, do you think I'm easy, can't you get up and talk to me?"
It was really annoying to be noisy by Tang Ke, so Lu Cheng directly threw a wine gourd.
It didn't take much effort, this wine gourd was grabbed by Tang Ke, and the scolding Tang Er poured the little wine left in the wine gourd into his throat.
"Phew, you bastard, that's all you have left, why don't you drink to death!"
"Please, you wise and martial Tang Er, can you stop for a while?"
Lu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, and sat up like a corpse that had cheated the corpse.
"Originally, Lao Tzu didn't sleep comfortably every day, and you were still arguing here!"
"Believe it or not, I'm sewing that mouth on you!"
Tang Er's family and Lu Cheng glanced at each other, looking at the black circle that had gradually appeared in Lu Cheng in the past two days.
He Tang Er's head was actually a little unbearable, so he sighed helplessly.
The wise and martial Tang Er was actually at an age where he had to accommodate others.
He thought that he would never be like this in his life, he was just a prodigal and egoistic person, how could he accommodate others.
This time, looking at Lu Cheng's dark circles, he actually softened.
So, Tang Er's master slowly lay down and quieted down.
Seeing that Tang Er's family was quiet, Lu Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief and began to brew sleep.
"Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng, Lao Tzu has never even accommodated women in his life, but he has only accommodated you. ”
"What kind of magic do you have, it makes me regress again and again. ”
When Tang Ke said this sentence in an extremely ambiguous tone, Lu Cheng felt that his sleepiness had been swept away.
As a result, the wailing of Tang Er's family suddenly came from the camp.
"Fuck, Dog's Day Lu Cheng! Don't let Lao Tzu sleep in the camp tent, Lao Tzu will sleep in the carriage!"
"Good and good, what do you do!
"Damn, I can't beat you, I don't know as much as you!"
Tang Er's scolding left the camp with half of his face swollen and walked to the carriage.
Although it was time to sleep at this time, Lin Ruo couldn't sleep at all.
She sat cross-legged in the tent, thinking about the clues she had gathered so far.
Regarding the death of his brother Lin Nian, he always felt that there were many doubts.
It is not uncommon for the power of the king of Chu to be in the east, and the five kings of the Five Kings Rebellion are still alive, and they must be preparing the next countermeasures.
In addition to the King of Qi and King Wei, who were deposed of their strength, the other three were all big people with the strength of the fourth order of the gods.
If this kind of character wants to solve Lin Nian, he doesn't even need to do it himself.
It is very likely that a simple letter can make Lin Nian's death unclear.
With Lin Ruo's ingenuity, he knew very well that if he killed someone, the best result would be to destroy the corpse.
Just like the members of Yunjing's sect, they killed Jiang Huaer and did not leave a corpse.
If the sect's practices had always been so thorough, why did they keep Lin Nian's body after murdering Lin Nian with a scheme?
When Lin Ruo was thinking about this question, she looked at Lin Nian's portrait and suddenly remembered a very important question.
Whether it is him or Lin Xiao, they have ignored this issue for many years!
When Lin Nian came out of the funeral, the coffin had already been sealed!
In other words, their Lin family didn't see Lin Nian's body at all, all they saw was Lin Nian's coffin.
The mourner of Zhongzhou Mu said that he was afraid that the county lord and Lin Xiao would be grief-stricken when they saw Lin Nian's body, so they sealed the coffin in advance along the east and transported the coffin back directly.
If you care, it will be chaotic, Lin Ruo has actually cared about it for so many years, in fact, she has never seen Lin Nian's corpse with her own eyes, and he has not confirmed Lin Nian's identity!
At this time, a very strong thought sprouted from Lin Ruo's heart.
Perhaps, Lin Nian is still alive?
Thinking about it, this seems to be a very idiotic idea, the purpose of the sect is to die without leaving a corpse, since Lin Nian wants to explore the inside of the sect, then he must be erased.
However, in a kind of hope born of affection, she really hoped that her guess was correct.
So, her heart was in turmoil, reason told him that Lin Nian was dead, but emotion told him that Lin Nian might be alive.
This feeling of entanglement made Lin Ruo feel painful, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.
There is only one way to solve this problem, although Lin Ruo and his people don't want to do it.
At the beginning, Lin Nian's body was brought back by Tang Xin, so only asking Tang Xin is the most intuitive!
If you don't want to, you have to do it, a strong desire forced Lin Ruo to come to Tang Xin's tent, and for a while, he didn't know how to speak.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
The mouthy Li Yan suddenly appeared from behind Lin Ruo, startling Lin Ruo.
"Don't scream, why are you here?"
"I should ask you this, I just came back from fetching water, and I'm ready to wash up and go to bed. ”
Lin Ruo looked at Li Yan, indeed, Li Yan, who was wearing a big pants and a big vest, was holding a basin of freshly beaten water in his hand.
"Is Tang Xin in the tent?
"Are you looking for a big brother? Hey, sister-in-law, you really ......"
Before Li Yan finished speaking, Lin Ruo directly poked a finger at the numb tendon on his arm.
"Ouch, ouch, it's numb, I'll call you!"
Li Yan walked into the tent with a basin in one hand and a sore hand in the other, and after a while, Tang Xin ran out in a hurry.
"Ruo'er, what are you looking for me?"
He asked eagerly, but Lin Ruo was a little hesitant.
"If there is anything, you can say it, as long as I can do it, I will help you do it with my life!"
"What do I want your life for, it's like this, you come with me first, I have something to ask you. ”
Lin Ruo thought about it, it was better to find a private place to talk about this kind of thing, there were many people in the barracks.
So, Lin Ruo took Tang Xin to the lawn outside the barracks, and Tang Xin suddenly felt a little restrained.
"Why are you so nervous, I won't eat you. ”
Looking at Tang Xin, who was a little stiff, Lin Ruo was a little strange.
"Ahem...... If you have any questions, just ask, I can answer them, and I will definitely not hide them. ”
Today's moon is very bright, just after the fifteenth day of the first month, the fifteenth moon is sixteen round, and this full moon illuminates Tang Xin's face very clearly.
Lin Ruo actually saw Tang Xin's slightly flushed cheeks.
This...... Did Tang Xin misunderstand something, but this lonely man and widow came to a wasteland at night......
Lin Ruo suddenly felt that he was indeed a little abrupt, so he also felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't get me wrong, I just have a few questions to check with you, and I don't mean anything else. ”
"Okay, I know!"
Tang Xin really looked like a soldier, and such a categorical answer made Lin Ruo suddenly feel at ease.
"Did you find my brother's body and bring it back?"
Tang Xin was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Ruo to ask this question, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded.
"That's right, Lin Nian's body was confirmed by me and brought back. ”
"How did you confirm my brother's body. ”
"...... at the time"
Tang Xin wanted to speak and stopped, obviously, recalling the original incident also made him feel very painful.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that, I can accept it. ”
"At that time, Lin Nian's body was already in pieces, and I was trying hard to find the remains of his corpse......"
"It was very difficult to find his body...... But ......"
Listening to Tang Xin's description, Lin Ruo felt more and more suspicious.
"But what?"
"However, I have never found Lin Nian's head, and it may have fallen off the cliff and been swept away by the waves......"
Tang Xin didn't lie.
He only found Lin Nian's stump, but did not find Lin Nian's complete body.
"And how did you know for sure that the wreckage you found was my brother?"
"The clothes, the smell, and the traces of the remnants of true qi. ”
"However, these are not the elements that confirm identity!"
Lin Ruo said eagerly, her emotions were a little excited, and sure enough, it was correct to ask Tang Xin this time.
With these things alone, it is impossible to confirm Lin Nian's identity, that is to say.
Lin Nian, in fact, is probably still alive!
Suddenly, Lin Ruo felt very excited, even if there was a little possibility, she was willing to work hard for this possibility!
"Ruo'er, do you think Lin Nian is still alive?"
Facing Tang Xin's question, Lin Ruo nodded heavily.
Tang Xin was in a trance, but he still shook his head heavily.
"Won't you...... If he lives......"
Lin Ruo patronized and was happy, but he didn't think about it at all, if Lin Nian was alive, what would he experience?
Probably, the kind of life will be more painful than death.
For a while, Lin Ruo fell into a new speculation, and the random speculation made her head hurt a little, and she slapped her head fiercely.
"Don't do that!"
Tang Xin grabbed her hand and calmed her down, and in Lin Ruo's violent struggle, Tang Xin hugged Lin Ruo heavily.
"Calm down, don't be cranky!"
Tang Xin's shouting made Lin Ruo's brain begin to become calm, Tang Xin hugged her tightly, and she suddenly began to tremble.
Lin Ruo cried, and after many years, she finally cried uncontrollably.
Tang Xin patted her on the back and comforted her, she leaned on Tang Xin's shoulder, tears raining down.
The moon on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is very round and bright.
Tang Xin and Lin Ruo hugged this for a long time under the moon, until the moon hid in the clouds, until Lin Ruo stopped crying.
Tang Xin sent Lin Ruo back to the camp where Lin Ruo was, and Lin Ruo's eyes were still a little red at this time.
"No matter what you want to do, I will be with you and support you. ”
"If you think Lin Nian is not dead, I will accompany you to find out about this matter. ”
"Even if I find out about it, I will pay with my life. ”
Lin Ruo listened to Tang Xin's heartfelt expression, and a warm current suddenly surged up in his heart.
"Thank you. ”
This is the only time Lin Ruo has said thank you to Tang Xin for so many years.
"Go to bed early, good night. ”
Tang Xin waved his hand and left with a smile.
Between the two, something gradually became warmer.
