Chapter 48 Self-hanging

Maybe it's because I've eaten a little better these days, Shen Shangluo always feels a little angry, and he always feels dry.

So Shen Shangluo made a winter melon and duck soup in the kitchen, which can be regarded as seasoning.

First, wash the duck meat, chop it into pieces of suitable size, and set aside.

Then wait until the iron pot is hot, add part of the ointment, stir-fry the ginger shreds over low heat after the oil is hot, and then stir-fry the duck meat over high heat.

Wait until the bottom of the pot is reduced and the duck fat is forced out, and the duck meat is drained of the excess oil and water.

The duck meat has a fishy smell, and the duck stew fried in a dry pan is even more fragrant.

Put the fried duck meat into an iron pot and pour water into it and simmer for half an hour, then add the peeled and diced winter melon, and simply adjust the flavor and simmer for half a cup of tea.

Winter melon is cold, while duck meat is sweet and cold, and it tastes just right when cooked with ginger.

While eating, Shen Jiuci seemed to become extraordinarily silent, Shen Shangluo glanced at Ah Heng and said softly, "Do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

Shen Jiuci hurriedly said: "Okay, I haven't been out for a long time!" ”

But Shen Shangluo said lightly: "It's not you, you haven't finished reading the medical book, don't think about going out to play." ”

"But ......"

"But what's it, honestly read the book, where did you start your momentum?"

For a while, Shen Jiuci couldn't find any words to refute, so he could only respond sullenly, "Just listen to you." ”

After seeing from the gentleman that night, Li Qinglan's condition seemed to be really good, and there was no more waking up in the middle of the night.

Just asked why she appeared on the big pine tree that night, but Li Qinglan kept saying that she couldn't remember it anymore and had no impression at all.

The entire Cloud Mist Village was shrouded in the shadow of the Lu Clan, and everyone was afraid of that sentence.

I want you all to bury me......

The only one who has not been affected must be Shen Shangluo's family, and everyone is very calm.

Ah Heng took out the bamboo flute behind him and handed it to Shen Shangluo, "Look at it, do you still like it?" ”

Originally, it was just an ordinary bamboo, but in Shen Shangluo's hands, it evolved into a bamboo flute, but in Ah Heng's hands, it became more and more exquisite.

I saw that the edges of the bamboo flute were polished to an extremely smooth surface, and there was an extra layer of luster than yesterday's emerald green, and a small hole was drilled on it.

It is dotted with dark green tassels, which are quite elegant, and a Luo character is engraved at the end of the bamboo flute.

Shen Shangluo played with the bamboo flute carefully, the expression on his face did not change much, he just looked at Ah Heng.

"But I can't blow it."

"It's okay, I can teach you."

Shen Shangluo didn't say anything more, just silently put away the bamboo flute.

In fact, Shen Shangluo thought that he was not so elegant, not to mention that after the bamboo flute was completely dry, it would become yellow and shriveled, and it would not be as delicate and beautiful as it is now.

Before a few people finished eating, they saw the wolf cub running out in high spirits.

Shen Shangluo looked his eyes in the direction where the wolf cub left, and he didn't know when there was a person standing outside his house.

This person was Shen Yunhan, he was dressed in a short white dress, and his hands behind his back seemed to be waiting for something.

The wolf cub directly crossed the fence, and the figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Shen Shangluo withdrew his gaze, "Excuse me, your father is here, open the door." ”

Shen Jiuci raised his head at this time, "Oh, I know." ”

After watching Shen Jiuci stand up, Shen Shangluo didn't take it to heart, but continued to pick up the rice in the bowl.

But after waiting for a while, she didn't notice that someone was coming back behind her, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes again and look out of the house.

I saw that Shen Jiuci and Shen Yunhan seemed to be talking about something, and Shen Yunhan's eyes still looked at Shen Shangluo from time to time.

Ah Heng also crossed his legs and turned his eyes outside the house, "Do you want to listen to what they are saying?" ”

But Shen Shangluo didn't seem to be very interested, "The second uncle asked Jiu Ci to follow him back, saying that he had found a better way." ”

Ah Heng frowned slightly, and looked at Shen Shangluo with a smile on his face, "Did you hear it again?" ”

Shen Shangluo stretched out his fingers and plucked his ears, "What, is your ear bad?" ”

Ah Heng snorted, and then stretched out his hand to retaliate and ruffled Shen Shangluo's hair, "Xiao Nizi, you have been quite arrogant lately!" ”

And Shen Shangluo wiped his mouth slowly, and touched the top of Ah Heng's head with his backhand, "Isn't it because you teach well?" ”

After a while, he saw Shen Jiu resign and come back, and his face seemed to be a little relaxed.

"Second sister."

It's just that before Shen Jiu finished speaking, Shen Shangluo said lightly: "I know, you go back." ”

Shen Jiuci frowned slightly, "Thank you for the cultivation of the second sister these days, but I should have found what I want to do more." ”

Shen Shangluo seemed to be disdainful, and snorted lightly, "Do you want to be dressed in white and follow my master's side?" ”

seemed to be right, Shen Jiu's body was stunned, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Shen Shangluo didn't turn his head to look at Shen Jiuci, "Go, I know I can't stop you now, just don't forget what you said." ”

"Yes."

After that, I saw Shen Jiu quit into the house and began to pack up his things, while Shen Yunhan was still standing outside with his hands behind his back and waiting quietly.

After Shen Jiu left, Ah Heng asked, "Since you know everything, why don't you stop your brother?" ”

When Shen Shangluo said something like that, he must have known that Shen Jiu had resigned from Shangyun Pavilion.

Shen Shangluo drank the soup in the bowl without hurry, and exhaled with satisfaction after drinking.

"This matter can't be avoided, if you can stop him alone, you can't stop the others, don't hurry, take your time."

"Others?"

Shen Shangluo looked at Ah Heng with idiot eyes, "You haven't noticed so many people who like to wear white clothes recently?" ”

After saying that, he strode out, "Remember to clean up your home." ”

Heng: ......

When Shen Shangluo walked slowly to the vicinity of Liu Shun's house, he saw that something seemed to be hanging on the dead tree in the courtyard of Liu Shun's house.

It's long, and it's still swaying in the wind, but because it's a distance, I can't see it very clearly.

Shen Shangluo was about to walk forward, but he forcibly put down the foot that had been raised.

She turned to the nearest door, and there was a knock on the door of the family's house.

After a while, a man's confused voice came from inside, "Who, here, here!" ”

"Squeak-"

As the door opened, it was Gong Chen who came out.

I almost forgot that the closest person to Liu Shun's house was Gong Chen, but Gong Chen was alone, and there was no one else in the family except him.

Gong Chen seemed to have just woken up, and he hit a hatchet, "It's Luo Luo, it's early in the morning, what's the matter?" ”

Shen Shangluo frowned slightly, Gong Chen seemed to understand something, and smiled hehehe.

"I was drinking with the village chief last night, so I got up a little late."

Shen Shangluo showed a faint smile, like a warm sun in winter, "Brother Gong Chen, I want to go to the back mountain to see my medicine garden, but Ah Heng is not at home, I'm a little scared, can you go with me?" ”

Gong Chen was still a little confused, "Back mountain? Well? Good. ”

Immediately, Shen Shangluo walked in the direction of Liu Shun's house, but Gong Chen still couldn't react, "Why do you want to go this way?" ”

Shen Shangluo didn't even look back, "The road here is easier, isn't it?" ”

"Huh? Well, good. ”

As soon as he walked to the door of Liu Shun's house, through the low earthen wall, Shen Shangluo could see the scenery in the courtyard clearly, as well as the things hanging on the dead trees.

She stopped, but Gong Chen was still rubbing her sleepy eyes, and she almost bumped into Shen Shangluo without paying attention.

He looked at Shen Shangluo suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Shangluo blinked, then sorted out his emotions and let out a hoarse scream.

This scream startled Gong Chen, and most of the wine woke up, "What's wrong?!" ”

Shen Shangluo looked frightened, and then pointed to the dead tree and took a few steps back in horror.

Looking in the direction of Shen Shangluo's finger, Gong Chen saw the person hanging on the tree at a glance, it was a person!

He was also taken aback, and hurriedly ran to the door of Liu Shun's house and kept knocking on the door, "Open the door!" Eldest brother! Open the door! Eldest brother! ”

But there was no movement in the house for a long time, so Gong Chen had no choice but to turn over and jump into the courtyard, and put Sun Ningxue, who had long been out of breath on the tree, down.

Shen Shangluo licked his dry lips, then leaned slowly against the low wall, and shouted loudly, "Someone! Dead man! ”

Soon there was movement in Liu Shun's house, "Who...... Disturbing dreams early in the morning......"

But soon Liu Shun's scream came from his ears again, "Daughter-in-law!" ”

The movement here quickly attracted a lot of people, not to mention that under the shadow of the Lu family, the villagers were all soldiers.

Only then did Shen Shangluo gently knock on the door of Liu Shun's house in front of everyone, "Village chief, open the door!" ”

At this time, it was Gong Chen who opened the door, which allowed everyone to see the scene in the courtyard.

I saw Sun Ningxue lying on the ground with a blue face, she had already lost her breath, but her wide eyes were extremely terrifying, and they were full of red blood.

Liu Shun was heartbroken and hugged Sun Ningxue's body and cried to the sky, but when Sun Ningxue's head turned slightly over, everyone couldn't help but take a step back.

Blood and tears flowed out of Sun Ningxue's eyes, staring straight at the lively crowd, full of resentment.

Shen Shangluo stepped forward slowly, squatted down and carefully examined Sun Ningxue's body.

There were no other scars on her body, the only thing was a visible strangulation mark on her neck.

Seeing Liu Shun crying, everyone couldn't help but feel soft in their hearts, first he didn't have his only child, and now he didn't have his daughter-in-law, and he was alone again.

It's not good for anyone to fall on such a thing, but in addition to compassion, there is also a layer of fear, an inexplicable sense of fear.

It's just that Shen Shangluo looked at the strangulation marks on Sun Ningxue's neck and fell into silence, hanged himself?

Liu Shun looked at Shen Shangluo with tears on his face, "Luo Luo...... Lolo ...... I really...... Really apologize! ”

Shen Shangluo frowned slightly, but he couldn't help but comfort, "I know, let's mourn and change." ”

She touched Sun Ningxue's wrist, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Carry it into the house, maybe you can still be saved." ”

Hearing Shen Shangluo's words, Liu Shun nodded while hugging Sun Ningxue and striding towards the house.

Shen Shangluo followed unhurriedly, she turned around and glanced at Gong Chen, "Go over and ask Ah Heng to bring my medicine box." ”

Gong Chen nodded again and again and ran away quickly, this matter could not be delayed.

When he arrived in the house, Shen Shangluo took a closer look at Sun Ningxue's injuries again.

It does look like she hanged herself, but the strangulation marks on Sun Ningxue's neck are not deep, so it shouldn't be fatal.

And when he felt Sun Ningxue's pulse just now, he found that Sun Ningxue was not dead, and he saw that the shaking thing should be the swing caused by Sun Ningxue's hanging.

But what is his purpose in doing so?

Just as Shen Shangluo was distracted, Sun Ningxue suddenly sat up and grabbed the corner of Shen Shangluo's clothes.

"I want you to bury me!"

After shouting this sentence, Sun Ningxue lay down again, but this time she closed her bloody eyes.

Finally having a little breath, Shen Shangluo raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I don't need it anymore." ”

But Liu Shun was completely frightened when he heard that sentence, his whole face was gray, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
