20 Chapter 20
When the day was about to dawn, the rain finally stopped, and Yu Linwei also brought back Zhaoyu's grandmother.
Zhao Yu knelt in the courtyard, soaking wet, miserable like a depressed water ghost, and slowly raised his head when he saw more and more Yu Linwei returning. Jet-black sideburns hung down from the sides of her face, obscuring her expression.
Yu Linwei acted quickly and found the coffin under the White Horse Temple, so that she would not come back in the rain.
Zhao's eyes were so sour, her hands were holding on to the waterlogged floor and she wanted to stand up, but she fell into the muddy water weakly, Li Wenjian stepped forward to support her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Help me." ”
Zhao Yu did not refuse, and grabbed his arm tightly, the muddy water stained his robe, leaving a dirty mark. Li Wenjian held her hand with his backhand and squeezed it tightly in his palm.
She held his hand, and with the help of his strength, she got up from the ground with all her strength and staggered to the coffin. Raising his hand over the coffin, he slowly closed his eyes. She leaned on the dark coffin, her lips and teeth trembling, and she didn't say a word.
Li Wenjian's eyes were gloomy, he kept looking at Zhao Xuan, her face was as pale as paper, without half a trace of blood.
"Zhaoxuan." He spoke: "Mourn ......"
"Your Highness, go back to the palace." Zhao Yu opened his mouth and interrupted Li Wenjian's words.
Li Wenjian was silent and looked at her with lowered eyes.
After a while, Zhao Yu took a deep breath, endured the heart-wrenching grief, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "The small courtyard is simple, I want to take care of the funeral for my grandmother, I am afraid that I will neglect Your Highness." ”
There was a tremor in his voice.
Li Wenjian didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.
His identity stands here, and no one can do things with peace of mind.
Before leaving, he instructed Jianing: "You take a team of men and horses and finish the matter." ”
Yin Ning nodded yes.
Li Wenjian helped the car to board the car, glanced down at the palm print on the sleeve, and looked at her through the Xiaoxiao rain curtain, she was still standing in front of the coffin like a wood carving clay sculpture, Xiao Suo was pitiful.
The day was completely bright, and the small village slowly woke up.
Many people in the village stayed awake all night last night, including Aunt Lin.
Yu Linlang was so scary, after returning home in the middle of the night, the little grandson cried for most of the night, and he couldn't coax it.
She was afraid that her child's night crying would disturb a large group of cold-faced killers next door, so she got up and walked in the house with her grandson in her arms.
The commotion made by the Zhao family was so loud that she was shocked.
When it was almost dawn, another group of men came.
She heard the sound of horses' hooves, leaned on the window, and saw a fire dragon winding from outside the village to Zhao's house through the night.
The breathing of so many people should be louder than thunder, but these black-armored iron guards did not make any noise, and quickly burrowed into the dark corners of the village, secretly hibernating.
The momentum is so loud that it is staggering.
When the people of the village had seen such a scene, they couldn't help but panic, wondering what the identities of these people were. The disappearance of the aunt of the Zhao family, why can she alarm so many terrifying black-armored soldiers?
"Ah, it's Ah Yu!" Aunt Lin suddenly patted the man who was asleep next to her.
The man rolled over and muttered, "If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you crazy about?" ”
Kicked the quilt, turned his face and fell asleep again.
Aunt Lin looked at the fire dragon outside, and suddenly remembered the little girl of the Zhao family, and was a little suspicious of her conjecture. Little Ah Yu is a very filial child, but ...... It's a bit unsightly.
The face is swollen all the year round, and there are often red sores on the cheeks, which are rotten and pus......
Later, she entered the palace and had no whereabouts for several years, and the aunt of the Zhao family was sick several times for this matter.
After a few years, Ah Yu got in touch with the family again, and sent a young man to take care of the aunt of the Zhao family, asked her doctor to see a doctor to recuperate, and helped her repair the house and yard.
Last time, the aunt of the Zhao family also said that she made pancakes for Ah Yu and sent them to the palace.
The beautiful face behind the cold-faced killing god last night overlapped with the Ah Yu in her memory, and she always felt a little unbelievable.
It was dawn, the rain stopped, and the grandson in her arms fell asleep, but Aunt Lin was not sleepy at all. Put down his sleeping grandson, quietly go out, and come to the courtyard of the Zhao family.
The superfluous people had been evacuated, and there were only a dozen or so black-armored guards left in the courtyard, and a dark and terrifying coffin was placed in the courtyard.
The people around him whispered, all saying that the aunt of the Zhao family was gone.
The girl gritted her teeth, her eyes were red, she trembled and cried bitterly as she held the coffin, and she was soaked like a down-and-out water ghost.
The aunt who has lived next to her for decades is gone, and Aunt Lin's eyes are also sour, and then looking at the girl's crying appearance, she didn't hold back her tears and cried.
"Ahh Aunt Lin heard Zhao Yu's cry, and felt something surging up her throat, and before she could reflect it, she had already spoken. She wasn't sure that this person was Ah Yu, but she didn't control her mouth and called out.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu turned his head and looked at the woman standing outside the courtyard.
Aunt Lin wiped the tears from her eyes, and didn't care about being afraid of the iron guard, and strode to Zhao Yu's side: "You're Ah Yu, right?" ”
Zhao Yu lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Good boy, you're finally back." Aunt Lin glanced at the pitch-black coffin, her nose was very sore, and she pulled Zhao Yu and said, "This is also something I didn't expect, don't be sad." ”
Zhao Yu said hoarsely: "Hmm." ”
"I'm not filial, and I haven't let her enjoy a single day of happiness."
Thinking of this, there was another violent grief in her chest.
"She's been very comfortable in the past few years, and it's all up to you." Aunt Lin was speechless, she was from the Zhuang family, and she couldn't say anything big, so she wiped her eyes: "Your grandmother loves you the most, if you look like this, she won't be at peace." ”
Zhao Yu nodded desperately, desperately holding back tears, but tears still kept popping out of his eyes.
The courtyard was full of black-armored soldiers, and Aunt Lin was uncomfortable, so she comforted Zhao Yu a few words and was about to leave.
"Aunt Lin." Zhao Yu suddenly stopped her.
Aunt Lin turned around and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhao Yu held back his tears with difficulty: "It happened suddenly, and the family didn't prepare anything, so I wanted to go to my aunt's house to borrow a few stools." ”
"Okay." Aunt Lin was about to go back: "I'll get it for you." ”
Zhao Yu said: "I'll go with my aunt to get it." ”
Aunt Lin was about to say no, but Zhao Yu had already stepped over, and then looked at her in wet clothes, tightly clinging to her wicker-like body, and her body was full of muddy water, and said, "It's okay, by the way, go to my house to freshen up and change your clothes." ”
Zhao Yu nodded, did not refuse, and went back to the house with Aunt Lin.
As soon as she took a few steps, she suddenly lowered her voice and asked Aunt Lin: "Yesterday, I remember that my aunt said that before my grandmother went to the White Horse Temple, a nun came to the house to make a marriage?" ”
Aunt Lin looked at Zhao Yu in embarrassment: "Ah Yu, it's not your fault that this matter is not your fault, don't be careful." ”
Zhao Yu looked at Aunt Lin seriously: "It's because that nun said that I had a disaster, and my grandmother wanted to resolve the disaster for me, so I went to the White Horse Temple, right?" ”
Aunt Lin sighed: "She didn't say thank you, she just said that your family may not be peaceful, and people outside may not be happy." ”
Zhao's palms unconsciously clenched into fists, and the broken nails hurt painfully.
"It's not your fault, your grandmother just cares about you too much." Aunt Lin sighed, but she thought in her heart that this nun had some ability, and she could really calculate people's blessings and misfortunes.
Zhao Yu felt uncomfortable in his heart, and even the warm and warm spring breeze blew on his face and felt as cold as a knife.
"I see." Zhao Yu bit her lower lip lightly, and said to Aunt Lin again: "If an aunt asks about this, can the aunt promise not to tell others?" ”
Aunt Lin didn't know why, so she thought about it, and she was afraid that others would say that she was unknown. She is not a person who likes to chew the root of her tongue, so she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I won't mention it again in the future." ”
The Zhao family has no relatives, and even if the people in the village have the heart to mourn, they are also timid when they see the black armor soldiers busy in the courtyard.
It's simple.
Yin Ning found someone to clean up for her grandmother.
Zhao Yu refused, she silently walked to the well, fetched a bucket of water, and said softly: "I'll come by myself." ”
Yin Ning hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Girl, the old lady fell into the deep cliff ......"
fell beyond recognition, even a person like him who has been marching for many years can't help but feel terrible when he sees it, not to mention that she is still a delicate and weak woman.
"It's okay." Zhao Yu looked at him, his eyes showing firmness: "She is my relative, will you be afraid of your own relative?" ”
Yin Ning nodded, and ordered Zhong Yu Lin Wei to turn around.
Even though he knew that her appearance would not be too good-looking, after the coffin was opened, her appearance really appeared in front of him, and a burst of white light still flickered in front of his eyes.
The untreated body was stained with blood and shattered bones.
Zhao's heart was like a knife, his body shook, and he could barely stand.
Seeing this, Jian Ning stepped forward, but before he could speak, Zhao Yu raised his hand and shook his head and said, "General, I'm fine." ”
Yin Ning was stunned for a moment, he had never seen such a strong girl.
Zhao Yu stood for a long time before he took out a handkerchief and dipped it in water, leaning over to wash his grandmother's face.
The blood sludge is embedded in the flesh and is not so easy to clean. She moved extremely gently, little by little, from the blood-stained forehead to the dusty fingers, washing her body clean inch by inch.
Don't let her leave with a little bit of dirt and dirt.
Grandma's face was revealed, and Zhao Xun looked at her in a daze, enduring great grief, trembling and falling on her chest for the last time.
Countless cold nights have warmed her embrace, and it is so cold.
The wide, rough hands were stiff and cold, and they were no longer warm.
She snuggled up for a long time and shed a lot of tears.
It wasn't until the time for Yin Ning to remind her that the time to seal the coffin had come, she reluctantly got up, lit the fire with incense, inserted the incense into the incense altar in front of the coffin, and then knelt on the futon in front of the coffin, slowly leaned down, and kowtowed.
A kowtow, may you be blissful in your past life, and if you have an afterlife, you will continue the love of your ancestors and grandchildren;
2. Kowtow, thank you for your selfless care and love over the years;
Three kowtows, please rest assured, I will live a good life and live a long life in peace.
The surging wind blew the broken hair on her sideburns, and Yin Ning saw her back kneeling alone in front of the coffin, looking lonely.
Zhao Yu knelt silently, stood up for a while, and walked into the house in silence.
It was almost unitary, the sun was setting in the west, and the wind was rumbling.
Yu Linwei quietly got up, barely moved, and carried his grandmother out of the courtyard.
It was only a day before and after, but Zhao Yu felt that it was so long that it seemed like several lifetimes had passed.
Her physical strength was running out, and she hadn't closed her eyes for a day and a night, and her internal organs seemed to be turned upside down.
Feeling that she could no longer walk, she desperately held on to the handrails of the bamboo-woven steps, doing her best not to let herself fall.
In a trance, she seemed to hear Jian Ning calling her.
But when she turned her head, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
