"Brother Shen, let's go into the lobby and sit down for a while." After Dong Qing heard the movement, she walked quickly to the courtyard and was about to pick up the food basket.

"Don't worry, you go first, I'll put the food basket away." Shen Xingliu smiled and shook his head repeatedly.

Dong Qing smiled, "Then there is Brother Lao Shen." ”

While talking, he took his mother and came to the lobby to put the teapot.

I saw that Tang Xuanxuan was sitting in front of the loom, stepping on the pedal stick one by one, and the wooden shuttle was like a butterfly wearing flowers flying non-stop, and the two of them were dumbfounded.

In a short time, a piece of cloth was woven.

"Hmm~~~"

After doing this, Tang Xuanxuan couldn't help but stretch, and found that the two behind her didn't know how long they had been here.

"What's that, Mrs. Dong, I also saw the loom, and it was itchy for a while, so I didn't weave it for you, you..."

Dong Sun led Dong Qing to step forward quickly, looked at the woven cloth, and exclaimed: "It's too good to weave, it's more than a little stronger than the concubine." ”

"Hehe, it's good if it's not broken." Tang Xuanxuan smiled.

But Dong Qing was stunned, "Sister Tang, how do you know how to weave?" ”

"Because my family is in the Shu brocade business."

The mother and daughter were dizzy when they heard one sentence, "Is it the Shu brocade that is inch-inch?" ”

I heard that in Yudu, only the ladies and ladies of high-ranking officials and aristocratic families can wear this kind of clothes.

"Well, if you like it, I'll send a dozen horses over when you go back..."

The two shook their hands again and again, although Dong Qing also wanted to wear new clothes, "We still have to work on weekdays, and it will get dirty, so let's not want it." ”

"Miss Tang, please move over here to have tea, let's have a good chat." Dong Sun touched the teapot, and there was still residual warmth.

......

In the lobby, the three of them chatted, but when Dong Sun asked about Dong Chao, Tang Xuanxuan always flickered.

This move also caused Dong Qing's question, "Sister Tang, you just said that you sent a letter, what about the letter?" ”

"Faith, with me." Shen Xingliu took a deep breath and stepped into the hall.

I saw that he took out the letter from his arms, Dong Sun's expression was a little excited, and he stepped forward to take the letter and held it like a treasure.

"And..."

Shen Xingliu tried his best to calm down his voice and slowly took out the "Wu Chang Order".

The sage of Yu Kingdom once ordered that if there is a soldier in the family, if he sees the order, if he sees a corpse, his family can hang the token at the door, indicating that there are soldiers who have died in the family, and if the thief does not avoid it, he will be wanted by the whole country.

Dong Qing didn't understand why after her mother took the token, she was originally excited, but suddenly became sad, bit her lip, and almost fell.

At this moment, her heart was like a knife, and she hurried to support her mother.

"Does he still have something to say, ask the two of you to bring it back?"

"Yes, he asked me to tell you that he was a hero."

Dong Sun's eyes were full of tears, "That's good, that's good, is he still brave when he kills the enemy?" ”

"Brave!"

I saw that Dong Sunshi turned around with the letter and helped the back of the chair, "Today, my family is inconvenient, so I won't leave the two of you to eat." ”

"Mrs. Dong, please mourn, I'll take my leave."

For a while, Shen Xingliu and the others didn't know how to comfort them, so they could only give their hands and leave.

Now it has been nearly two months since Dong Chao's death, presumably the letter of his death is still being delivered on the road, and pensions will be issued one after another in the future.

"Mother, what's wrong with you..." Dong Qing took the letter from her mother.

"Qing'er, you tell me this belief."

Dong Sun's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't read the words clearly.

"Whoa!"

Dong Qing shook open the letter with doubts, and read word by word: "My wife and daughter, seeing the letter is like meeting." Everything was fine with me in the battalion, and a while ago I received a big assignment. When I'm done, I'll go home. ”

"Mother, daddy, he's coming back..."

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Dong Sun's tears burst out of his eyes in an instant, hugged Dong Qing, and cried: "Your father, he, he can't come back." ”

What?

Can't come back?

In that case, it's...

"Woo woo, mother, you lied to me..."

Dong Qing was struck by lightning, the family letter in her hand fell to the ground silently, and the mother and daughter fell to their knees, hugging their heads and crying.

The cry soon spread out of the yard and through the alleys, attracting the neighbors to gather around.

Shen Xingliu, who had not yet left the courtyard, heard the cry behind him and tightened the black knife in his hand.

"Ahem, ahem, poof!"

After a violent cough, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Tang Xuanxuan was startled, and hurriedly came over to help him up, "Xingliu, you, you're okay, I'll heal you." ”

"Whew, I'm fine..."

Shen Xingliu exhaled a breath, shook his head slightly, and showed a bleak smile, "Let's go." ”

"Well," Tang Xuanxuan replied softly, and the two slowly walked out of the courtyard.

There were already some bold neighbors who surrounded them, and when they saw the appearance of the young man, they immediately retreated and made way for a road.

At the mouth of the alley, Wednesday Bao was looking forward to it, and the sudden crying made him want to go in and see what was going on.

"Oh, my Shen Daxia, what's wrong with you?"

Just when Zhou Zhou Bao was anxious, he saw Shen Xingliu's pale face, and was helped out by Tang Xuanxuan, and hurriedly trotted to pick him up.

"Isn't it, I was attacked in the alley, and the little one went back to call someone..."

"Shopkeeper Zhou, you misunderstood, Xingliu is in a hurry." Tang Xuanxuan hurriedly explained.

"This..."

Zhou Bao could only give up, "Okay, you get in the car first, and I will get you two catties of ginseng to make up for it." ”

"Hehe, then please shopkeeper Zhou," Shen Xingliu grinned, and with his help, boarded the carriage, followed by Tang Xuanxuan.

Wednesday Bao drove the carriage away from the alley, but he remembered this place, is there anyone here who is valued by heroes?

After the carriage was far away, a shadow hurried out, clutching a purse in his hand.

......

The mother and daughter cried for about a cup of tea, barely holding back their tears.

"Qing'er, you go and hang the token on the door." Dong Sun's voice was hoarse.

In the past, when Dong Qing was on the street, he could always see an iron sign hanging in front of a certain house, and he didn't know why before, but now he finally knows.

But the price is too heavy.

Dong Qing has known that his father is a native master since he was a child, and he has been hiding in Tibet since he was a child, and he has been spurned everywhere he goes.

I still remember that when I was eight years old, I cried once, and I can't remember the specific experience.

But I vaguely remember that I was beaten with a big bag on my head, and since then, I have moved to the fireworks alley, and my father has become silent.

Dong Qing's eyes were red, tears were not dry, holding Wu Changling, came to the gate of the courtyard, and bowed deeply when he saw the neighbors who came up.

"Qing'er, what's wrong with your family?" At this time, an old woman stepped forward and asked.

I saw that Dong Qing swallowed her saliva with difficulty, her heart was bitter, and she could only shake her head gently, but she couldn't say anything.

It wasn't until she saw the token hanging in front of the door that the neighbors knew what was happening.

"Whew!"

A gust of wind blew, and Wu Changling, who was hung on the side of the eaves by the red rope, turned slightly, as if the heroic spirit had returned.

When the neighbors saw this, they were all sincerely amazed, this family has a good man.

"Alas~~~"

Everyone sighed, reminiscing about the past, whether they had been too rude to them in the past.

At this time, they only felt a heat on their faces, and hurriedly turned around and went home, thinking about how to help the two of them organize the funeral.

Dong Qing heard her mother's crying, she was afraid of causing her mother to cry again, so she didn't dare to go to the lobby, she only dared to enter the kitchen alone, covered her mouth, and cried silently.

It was nearly noon.

After crying for a while, she took the vegetable basket next to her, and found that the vegetable basket seemed to be much heavier, and the basket was covered with a flower cloth.

Strange, when did I cover the flower cloth.

Dong Qing's heart was full of doubts, and after uncovering the flower cloth, she found that there was an extra bulging purse inside.

"Whoa!"

After a little checking, there was a crisp sound in the purse, which was fifty taels.

After opening the purse, a golden light shot out, it was gold, a lot of gold!

But who is it? When was it put in?

Dong Qing was horrified in her heart, could it be Brother Shen?

Immediately, she tightened the mouth of the bag and ran out of the courtyard door, trying to return the gold.

"Brother Shen, please stay!"

The girl's voice resounded in the fireworks alley again, and Shen Xingliu and the others seemed to ignore it and left directly.

"Hero, the woman is chasing, do you want to stop?" Wednesday Bao looked into the distance and chased Dong Qing.

Shen Xingliu thought for a moment and decisively refused:

"No need, let's go!"

Wednesday Bao smiled, drank verbally, drove the carriage, and left quickly.

Just now, he also listened to it, and the hero actually gave fifty taels of gold to that family, which is really a big deal.

This also filled his heart with curiosity, thinking that he must ask the head of the Zhou family in the future, and maybe he could know some of the stories.

"Xuanxuan, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

Inside the carriage, Shen Xingliu leaned on Tang Xuanxuan's shoulder and muttered to himself.

And Tang Xuanxuan gently stroked his sideburns and smiled slightly: "Believe in your own choice, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go on." ”

"But it's so painful, but it's good to have you..."

The horse-drawn carriage that galloped out quickly drove out of the corner of the street. Dong Qing is a weak woman, so naturally she can't catch up.

"Brother Shen!"

I saw that she held the purse tightly, held it in her arms, squatted on the ground and gasped, and it took a long time to get up and drag her tired body home.

People came and went on the street, casting a puzzled look at her, but Dong Qing felt a little lost and didn't notice it at all.

Passers-by are afraid to avoid it, and they don't know what happened, in case they are falsely accused.

"Interesting, interesting!"

At this moment, in a teahouse on the side of the street, a swinger put away his folding fan, but he fell in love with Dong Qing's appearance.

I saw that he casually summoned a few splashes and pointed to Dong Qing below, "You go and investigate, what happened?" Don't act rashly. ”

A few splashes shrugged their shoulders, bowed forward, and smiled flatteringly, "Young Master Lin, don't worry, it's wrapped around Xiao's body." ”

The pranksters saw Dong Qing walk into the alley, then glanced at each other and retreated one after another.
