Chapter 148: Ordinary Things (Final Chapter)
"Auntie...... Auntie......" The little girl sat in the box and wiped her tears, "Auntie, Regret has slept in it for a long time, and the queen mother and father have not come to pick up Regret's son, Regret is so scared, where did they go?"
Looking at this little face of crying flowers, Si Nanxing's heart ached suddenly, as if she saw redemption, she hugged Regret tightly in her arms.
"Don't be afraid, my aunt is here, it's over...... It's all over......
Si Nanchen's hand on the short blade on his waist gradually drooped, and he struggled and hesitated for a long time, finally realizing that he couldn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
This child is the bloodline of Helian Du, but she is also the bloodline of the eldest sister and the child of their Si family......
The little girl trembled all over, and was carried out by Si Nanxing, she rubbed her teary eyes, gritted her teeth and saw the man's appearance clearly.
It's him, the man who just spoke, it's him and his mother...... No, it was he who teamed up with that woman to take away his father's territory and kill his father's life, he is the enemy, the most damned person, one day, she will avenge her father with her own hands, she must kill him!!
The night was dark, Si Nanchen didn't know if he was wrong, he always felt that the kid's eyes were shining with hatred, no matter what, he didn't dare to take the kid lightly.
Of course...... He will not treat the child harshly, he will raise her as his own daughter.
That's what he owes her.
Si Nanchen sat in the Fengqi Palace and did not leave for a long time, until the second half of the night, Yi Kite suddenly sent a pair of clothes.
It was a night suit.
Si Nanchen's hand on the table moved, and he asked, "What does this mean, Miss Yi Kite?"
"I've been following the city lord for so long, so I naturally know what you need at this time."
Yi Kite poured a cup of tea that had been cold and put it in front of him, and said, "You and I have been a servant for five years, this should be the last thing I have done for you, and it is true that you can't do it casually in many times in a high position, but this regret is one less thing, one thing, when you are old, you will not remember it, and regret that you were too rational at that time."
His eyes were slightly hot, he drank the herbal tea, said "thank you", and left with his night clothes.
Yi Kite looked at his back and sighed, this is none of her business, and it has nothing to do with Mobei, she trespassed, but ......
Xu is accompanied by him every day, so that Yi Kite has pity for him, for so many years, she has never seen a trace of a smile on his face, it is clear that he is not a young man, but he always looks depressed with a cold face, he is like a stone that does not know hot and cold, and can always make the most correct decision without being affected by feelings.
A person lives like this...... How tired must you be......
Yi Kite sighed again, and then walked into the rain.
The heavy rain washed away the blood stains in this black palace city, and it was clear that the coalition forces had won the victory, but they did not celebrate, there was no feast, only a black dead silence.
If you listen closely, you can hear a low sobbing from the corner.
Oh, yes...... Even if they win, the relatives who died at the hands of Helian will never come back.
In the silence of the night, only the sound of the rain could be heard, and a black figure flashed past the palace wall, and he hid in the dark, looking at the figure hanging on the high wall, she was so thin and thin, like a leaf, swaying in the wind and rain.
The man in black's hands clenched into fists, he must take her away, and suddenly heard someone shout: "There is a fire in the palace!!"
Two of the four soldiers guarding the city gate were busy ascertaining the situation, and the remaining two looked in the direction of the palace, and the man in black ran from the corner to the palace under the cover of the rain curtain.
At the same time, the silver light flashed in his hand, and the hidden weapon cut the hemp rope that bound Si Nanyue's wrist, and her body fell from mid-air and landed firmly in the arms of the man in black.
"Who! What the hell!"
The soldiers defending the city spotted him, and when they saw the man he was carrying, they shouted, "There is an Assassin, come quickly!!"
The man in black hurriedly ran outside the palace with Si Nanyue in his arms, he ran in the rain at a loss, but the road in the royal capital was wide, and there was no hiding place at all.
Not much
After a long time, the sound of the soldier looking for someone was heard not far away, and the man in black panicked, and he didn't know what to do, when the door on his side suddenly creaked, and he stretched out a hand to pull him in.
After the group of soldiers walked away, the man in black just wanted to turn around and thank him, but under the reflection of thunder and lightning, he saw that the person who rescued him was the same as himself, covering his face tightly with his night clothes.
"Multi-...... Thank you for this strong man......
Before he could finish his sentence, the man reached out and pulled his masked black scarf off, and his face was immediately exposed to the man's vision.
Suffered!
He hurriedly took a few steps back, trying to hide his face in the darkness, but he knew that the man must have seen him clearly.
"You...... You don't talk about martial arts! Even if you help me, I can't do this!"
The man didn't want to quarrel with him, but asked, "Why did you take her body away?"
"What's your business!" He blurted out, took two more steps back, turned his mind, and asked, "You don't want to take your sister's body with you, do you?"
"Sister?"
The man covered his face to make people feel his surprise at this time, he looked at his face carefully, and said for a long time, "So it's you?"
"You know me?"
He was even more strange, but when the person in front of him showed his face, he was directly stunned in place.
"Castle City...... City Lord?"
Now it's a disaster! His sister's body was ordered to be hung on the city wall, and he was not caught by the group of soldiers, but he was directly caught by the city lord, and these are dead......
But why did the city lord appear here, still wearing night clothes, could it be ...... Could it be that the city lord wants to do the same thing with him??
"It's me."
Si Nanchen said, taking advantage of his stunned moment, he took the person in his arms and placed him on the couch, before looking back at the young man behind him.
The young man was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with dark skin, a round face and unfading baby fat, and a pair of clear eyes looking sadly at the body of the eldest sister.
Si Nanchen said, "You are really bold, if you are caught just now, you may be beaten to death with a stick."
"Ah...... Is it? Why is the lord here?"
"Naturally...... Same with you."
It's just that unlike the boy, he has a plan, so he went late, at first he thought that the person who took away the body of the eldest sister was Sister Xing, but later he saw that the body was not like it, so he followed this kid all the way, but he didn't expect that it would be him.
A few months ago, when Zelu City resisted the Red Abyss Army, this kid had to join the coalition army, and the leader of the team at that time saw that he was too young, so he didn't agree, who knew that this kid ran into the coalition army every day.
He can't go to the battlefield, so he helps feed the horses, give medicine to the wounded soldiers, etc., he is too young, and he is very conspicuous in the coalition army, Si Nanchen has heard him mentioned, and he has seen this child twice from afar.
Later, the coalition army fought against Chiyuan, and I didn't want to take him with me, but who knew that he followed by himself, there was no way, I couldn't let this kid walk back by himself, and the generals who led the army arranged him to help in the rear, and they were also protecting him, but I didn't expect him to be so bold.
"Child, why did you take her body away?"
"What a child, I'm not young anymore!" He protested, "And I have a name, my name is Wei Cong, and my sister knows me."
"That...... Xiao Cong, do you want to ...... Save her?"
"Of course!"
"Why?"
"Because my sister is a good person, a good person shouldn't be treated like this."
He rubbed his moist eyes and said, "When I was a child, my sister treated my grandmother and gave me candy to eat, I knew she was a good person, but those stupid people who only knew how to bully themselves didn't know, they would only blame my sister, my sister was dead, and she would be hung on the city wall, which was not fair!!"
It turned out to be him......
Si Nanchen's mind moved, seven years ago, when Zelucheng had just surrendered, Helian decided to ask his eldest sister to wear linen and filial piety for the wolf king's army, and a child rushed forward to protect her, it turned out that it was him......
Si Nanchen suddenly felt the original world
There is really cause and effect, he looked at the bloodless face of the eldest sister, and his heart was mixed.
"Cong, thank you."
"The city lord doesn't need to thank you, I just did what I wanted."
He scratched his head, looked at Si Nanchen, and asked puzzledly, "City Lord, you ordered your sister to be hung in front of the city gate, if you change your mind and directly order your sister to be lowered from the city gate, why do you want to steal her like me?"
"Because ......," he said, his eyes sour, and he turned to cover it up, "I can't help myself."
"It turns out that there are things that the castle lord can't do......
Xiao Cong seemed to have discovered something new, and he grinned slightly apologetically, revealing a sincere smile.
"Actually...... In fact, when the city lord ordered my sister to be hung in front of the city gate, I still scolded you in my heart for being a faint king, and now it seems that you seem to be ...... It's kind of ......."
The sentence "a little pitiful" was blocked in Xiao Cong's throat by himself, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and said, "It turns out that the high city lord is not as good as me, and he can do whatever he wants."
"Ha ......"
Si Nanchen's laughter was bitter, once upon a time, he had laughed wantonly, relying on the protection of his mother and eldest sister and being proud, but now sitting on the position of the city lord, he lost the privilege of doing what he wanted.
He heard Xiao Cong ask again, "Lord City, when everything is over, I want to bring my sister back to Zelu City, is that okay?"
"Yes." He replied, "But not too ostentatious."
Xiao Cong also knew that he couldn't blatantly bring his sister home, so he could only ......
Si Nanchen saw what he was thinking, and said, "Wait for two days, I will arrange a place for the cremation of the eldest sister, and then ...... Take her back again."
"Yes."
The sun turns and the stars set, and in the blink of an eye, it is another year.
At this time, Si Nanchen had already returned to Zelu City, and he had arranged everything in advance the day before, just to be able to spare a whole day.
Today's rain is not heavy, it is hazy, Si Nanchen holds a bouquet of flower branches and climbs Sushui Mountain, and sees the lonely grave on the top of the mountain from a distance.
The lonely grave had no name, no name, not even a tombstone, but the weeds around it were clean, except for a flowering rainvine tree, standing beside it like a guard.
Si Nanchen approached, only to see that there were still fresh melons and fruits enshrined in front of the grave, and paper money burned to ashes, he looked at these things and smiled, it should be Xiao Cong who has come.
He put the flower branch in his bosom in front of the grave, sat down on the ground, and said, "Eldest sister, I have come to see you."
He picked up the flower branch and said while fiddling: "Mother has bad legs and feet, I came here without her, otherwise she would definitely come with her, my brother and sister-in-law's children have also grown up, and the little fart child pesters Sister Gong Ci every day, just like when I was a child, I still say that I want to marry Sister Gong Ci as my wife when I grow up, just kidding, I haven't married Sister Gong Ci yet, the little fart child still dares to dream like this, the weather was good the day before yesterday, I tied him to the tree to bask in the sun, and used the kind of dead knot that Sister Xing tied me before, see if he dares to say such things next time...... By the way, eldest sister, there is also a regretful son......
He stopped moving in his hand before he said, "Eldest sister, I passed the penitent child to my name a few days ago, she is now my daughter, I gave her a new name, called Youning, I hope she can live this life leisurely and peacefully, without being troubled by hatred, I hope ...... She's still the same innocent and clear child she used to be......
Si Nanchen's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he smiled as if nothing had happened, "Ha...... I have such a big child before I get married, I am also the only one, I am a good child, my mother especially dotes on her, my sister-in-law and Sister Gong Ci also treat her as their own child, I am afraid that they will spoil the regret. Eldest sister, I understand your worries, don't worry, I will be optimistic about her, and when she grows up in a few years, I will choose a lovely husband for her and keep her by my side all the time, what are you worried about...... It will never happen."
"And ...... A few days ago, Sister Xing wrote to say that she finally planted sunflowers in Mobei, she said that the monarch of Mobei is a very good man, treats her very well, and the two get along like biological sisters
Brother, I don't think it's right, Sister Xing is obviously very fierce to me, she has taught me more times than my father, this is the right way for her to treat her biological brother, but ...... Seeing that she is happy, I am not so worried, by the way, eldest sister, Sister Xing also said that she will come back to visit relatives next year......
Time seemed to return to the ordinary and beautiful it used to be, and he chattered endlessly, telling her all the words he had saved for a long time.
The rain was a little more urgent, but Si Nanchen still had no intention of leaving, he was talking about the recent situation of his family, and his hands were not idle, and after a while, a wreath was born from his hand.
He picked up the last flower and braided it into a wreath, which he looked at and boasted, "Perfect." After that, the wreath was placed in front of the grave.
"How about the eldest sister, the younger brother's skills have improved, right?"
As he spoke, he stood up and washed the mud off his clothes by the rain.
"Eldest sister, you said that I am such a big person, my mother will still nag me when my clothes are dirty, if she finds out that I have secretly come to see you, she will definitely nag even more...... Okay, eldest sister, it's not too early, and the curfew will be held later, and when the weather is good, I'll accompany my mother to see you."
He said this, but stood in front of the grave for a long time, and waited until it was dark before hurrying away in the rain.
Si Nanchen's figure gradually disappeared into the rain curtain, and he never noticed that in the gust of wind and rain, the rain vine flowers on the branches fell and just fell in the center of the wreath in front of the lonely grave.
The rain was still falling, the top of Sushui Mountain was as silent as usual, and the lonely tomb was standing here in the rain like a figure, looking at the lights of the city from afar.
Now is the prosperous era of Chengping, and many years later, some people will recall the past, and in addition to sighing, they may sigh: "The change of dynasties, the change of things, the change of stars, life and death, is the most ordinary."
