Ning He calmly brushed away Shen Wuwu's hand and said in a calmer voice: "Don't worry, I'm just going to see them." ”

Wang Yan silently put on filial piety clothes for Ning He, and tied a filial piety scarf before accompanying him to the mourning hall.

Ning He bothered to kowtow respectfully in front of his parents' spirits. By the last hour, he was lying on the ground, unwilling to get up for a long time.

Wang Yan was worried about him and was about to help, but he straightened up and muttered, "Uncle, before my father goes, I have something to say." ”

Wang Yan burst into tears instantly.

Previously, he had never found a chance to tell Ning Heku, but now that he took the initiative to mention it, he immediately nodded cautiously, "Yes, yes." ”

He endured his grief and said solemnly: "Your father asked me to tell you that from now on, put a sword spike on the sword of mercy and hold it in your hand." He also said, don't forget the origin of your name. ”

The calm of repeated armaments was shattered in an instant. Ning Heku's eyes burst into tears, and he choked up: "Daddy, my son has written it down." ”

Wang Yan looked at his expression, very unbearable but had to ask: "Xiao Ku, where are you going to place your father and mother?" ”

Although Ning Heku looked at the spirit pestle in front of him, his gaze seemed to have crossed the spirit pestle and looked to a more distant place.

He gradually regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "A-Niang said that she wants to go back to Cliff Village. And what about Daddy? Naturally, wherever A-Niang is, he will follow her wherever she goes. The two of them will never be separated in this life. ”

Wang Yan turned his head away and was sad: "Yes, the two of them will naturally never be separated. ”

Shen Wuxian didn't want to bother Ning He at this juncture, but he had to bother.

He reminded: "Xiao Ku, you said that the cliff is more than 30 zhang high, how to send them ......"

Ning Heku interrupted him decisively, "I know. So, I'm going to cremate Daddy and Auntie first, and then I'll take their ashes back. ”

While he was talking, a person walked in, walked straight to the spirit of Ning's father and Ning's mother, bowed silently three times, and put on a stick of incense.

Ning Heku, who was kneeling next to him, replied respectfully.

The person who came was Shaoqing Wen Qian of Dali Temple, he had worshiped the deceased, and simply knelt down next to Ning Heku, just about to speak, when he looked up and saw Shen Wuxuan, he closed his mouth again.

Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately pulled Shen Wuwu and walked out.

Shen Wuxuan didn't have a good impression of these court officials, but seeing that Wang Yan was sincere to Ning Heku's family, he not only felt sorry for Ning Heku's family in his heart, but also was busy with Ning's father and Ning's mother's future affairs properly.

The person who is good to Xiaoku's family is naturally his senseless friend.

Therefore, after getting along for a few days, the two of them are also very familiar.

Before the two of them could stand firm after going out, Shen Wusensei grabbed Wang Yan and asked unceremoniously: "Xiao Ku's father said that he wanted him to put a sword spike on the Mercy Sword and hold it in his hand, what does this mean?" ”

Although Wang Yan's eyes looked at him, his eyes were far away, and he replied unanswered: "Among the four famous weapons of our country, swords, guns, swords, and sticks, the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers. Throughout the ages, scholars and writers have used swords as a salute. The sword is divided into civil and martial arts, and the sword is equipped with a sword spike; And the martial sword does not carry a sword spike to show force. In particular, there is an unwritten rule that the sword catcher should carry the sword behind him, as a sign of the way of arresting criminals. ”

Shen was pointless, he exclaimed: "Xiao Ku's father asked him to equip the Mercy Sword with a sword spike to hold it, is this to make him turn his martial sword into a literary sword, and he can no longer be a sword catcher?" ”

Wang Yan nodded heavily, "That's fine." The knife catcher originally licked the blood on the tip of the knife and exchanged his life for money, so he didn't do it. ”

Shen Wufu let out a disdainful voice from his nostrils: "This is not a good livelihood in the first place, and it should have been discarded a long time ago." ”

For a moment, both of them fell silent. But after a moment, Shen Wuxian couldn't hold it back. He said to himself again: "Rather than bitter, rather bitter, I never thought about the meaning of this name? ”

While talking to himself, he grabbed Wang Yan again, "So, where did the name Xiao Ku come from?" ”

Wang Yan saw that Wen Qian was still in the mourning hall, and he couldn't come out for a while, and he waited and waited, so he continued to explain to Shen Wusense.

"When Xiao Ku's mother was about to give birth, Shu'an was still arrested more than 2,000 miles away. At that time, after he handed over the prisoners to the local yamen, he was so anxious that he hurried home as soon as he saw the time. Five fast horses were killed along the way, and they drove for five days and four nights without sleep before finally arriving home.

Then, as soon as he entered the house, he heard a loud baby cry, he cried with joy, and collapsed to the ground tiredly, only to find that the wounds on his body had not been treated in time, and he was tired from running around for days, all of which were inflamed and pus.

So, Mrs. Sister-in-law was very distressed, and rebuked him seriously afterwards: "If you are in such a hurry, it will be ten days and a half months late, and our mother and wife will wait for you to come back." Now I have an injury, and I have been lying for more than a month, and I haven't seen any better, but it seems that our son was born to you. ”

Shen wanted to laugh meaninglessly, but there seemed to be a thousand catties in his heart, and he really couldn't laugh, so he urged, "And then?" ”

Wang Yan continued: "You must know that in the past, whenever Shu'an saw his sister-in-law angry, he would immediately say things like 'I was wrong, I promise not to do it again next time' to make my sister-in-law happy." But this time, he just smirked and resolutely refused to admit his mistake. He said: 'In order to see you give birth safely, in order to see our child for the first time, it is worth breaking a leg. ’

Mrs. Sister-in-law immediately reprimanded him: 'Why are you here?', I don't bother to pay attention to you. ’

And then, guess what? Brother Shu'an immediately patted his thigh and said excitedly, "Yes, why bother", madam, our son has a name, so let's call him Ning~ Why bother. Mrs. Sister-in-law was so angry that she gave him a punch, and when she heard her son crying, she turned around and called softly: 'Xiao Ku, my mother is here', and went to coax my son. ”

“……”

Originally, it was a relatively light-hearted and humorous topic, but Shen Wuxian listened to it and shed a heroic tear.

Wang Yan in the other side of the room was also boundless sighing and sad: "Shu'an means to tell Xiao Ku to cherish himself in the future, live well, and never forget his original intention." He is the heart and soul of his parents, the treasure in his palm, and the pearl in his eyes. ”

Shen nodded in agreement, and the two glanced at each other, and the subtext in their eyes was: "Don't worry, I will definitely be optimistic about Xiaoku." ”

Inside the mourning hall.

Wen Qian was heartbroken, "Xiao Bitter, it's all my fault, I was afraid that the two evils would escape in Dali Temple again, so I sent them to the prison of the Criminal Department." If I had interrogated them first, I might have ......"

Ning He closed his eyes bitterly and interrupted him, "You're right, I'm the one who started it." ”

Wen Qian looked at him and considered his words: "Xiao Ku, although your father has taken all the charges, the Criminal Department has reported the matter to the East Pavilion, and proposed to ban all the registered knife catchers in Dali Temple, and the left and right prime ministers have also unanimously agreed to this policy. From now on, there will be no more knife catchers in our Dali Temple......"

Ning He listened to the color behind him without saying a word, he lowered his head and took out the black gold order from his arms, but Wen Qian pressed his hand in time, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Keep it." ”

Ning He took the black gold order back into his arms again.

Wang Yan went to send Wen Qian, Shen Wuxian just knelt down next to Ning He, and was about to find something to say, when he saw a person outside the door Yingying entered, and the white cloak covered the entire head tightly.

The visitor walked in quietly, and walked straight to the tablet of Ning's father and mother, before taking off the cloak.

Rao is useless Shen Wuwu also rounded his mouth, and quickly stabbed Ning Heku, who was looking down at the ground.

Ning Heku slowly raised his head, and there was a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes that had not been seen for a long time, but it disappeared in a flash.

Li Wanyan's plain clothes were like snow, her face was like jade, and after respectfully putting on the incense, she knelt down and kowtowed three times solemnly and solemnly.

She is now the future queen of Dajing, with a noble status, and even the elders in her own family have to salute when they see her.

Even so, she still came regardless of it, not only came, but also worshiped the deceased as a junior.

This affection made Ning Shen and the others also moved.

She got up, turned to Ning Heku, her face was pale, and whispered: "Please mourn and change on the child's day!" ”

Then, no longer stopping for half a step, he went out.

Ning Heku was stunned for a moment, and then he solemnly replied three times.

Shen senselessly looked at the people who came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and then looked at Ning Heku, who was kowtowing to the side of him, and sighed long.

After Ning He finished kowtowing, he said in a snarling voice: "Lao Wu, have you gone to the Li Mansion for medical treatment in the past few days?" ”

Shen asked weakly: "You look like this, where can I go with confidence?" ”

"......" rather bitter: "Wait for tomorrow, you can go to the Li Mansion as usual to see a doctor." If you say that it looks good, it is January, and you can't miss a day. In the future, even if I'm gone, I won't miss a day, you know? ”

Shen Wusense: "......"

If it was on weekdays, he would have punched it a long time ago.

But now, he dared to stimulate the heartbroken people again, so he nodded meekly, "Okay, see enough for January, I promise." ”

Ning He looked at him and repeated: "You promise? ”

Shen raised his hand and made an oath: "I promise." ”

Following.

Shen Wuwu saw that Ning Hequan put the ashes of his parents into a white porcelain urn, and when everything was over, he came to the prime minister's mansion at dusk.

After seeing the doctor with Mrs. Li and the little son, it was also more than half of the time, and Qingsong sent him out of the house.

On the way, Qing Song asked with concern: "Is Ning Gongzi okay?" ”

Shen Wuwu said truthfully: "It's not good, the grief is heartbreaking, I vomited several liters of blood, and I can't get better for a year and a half." ”

Qing Song was stunned, and Shen Wuwu had already gone far away.

He chased a few steps, tried to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Shen Wuxu walked extremely fast, and he hurried back to see Ning Hequan. Somehow, at this moment, he felt a little uneasy and flustered in his heart.

The words that Ning Heku had said flashed in his mind: "In the future, even if I am gone, I will not miss a day!" ”

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he ran forward.

Shen searched all over the house and inside and outside, but he didn't see Ning Heku's figure.

When he was anxious and frightened, he suddenly found that the urn of Ning's father and Ning's mother was gone, so he calmed down a little.

Then he began to complain, "Little bitter! You have to take your parents back to Cliff Village, so you can say goodbye to me. Now I'm left alone, lonely, sad! ”

He was sitting bored when the wind blew in outside the door.

Wang Yan ran too quickly, his expression was complicated, and he couldn't speak for half a breath.

The uneasiness in Shen Wuwu's heart hit again, he intimately poured a cup of tea for Wang Yan, and helped him smooth his breath, and said patiently: "Don't worry, take a breath and speak slowly." ”

Wang Yan finally roared out after breathing: "Xiao Ku went to break into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, killed the water demon and the poisonous demon, and returned the ......."
