The alleys are deep and remote, and the courtyards of the houses on both sides are low and dilapidated, and some can even see the collapsed walls, blocked by things like water tanks and wooden planks.

According to Shen Xiaolou's words, the three of them quickly found the Shen family.

Before Ning Wuchai could step forward and knock on the door, he saw a woman in her thirties pushing the door and walking out, still holding a basin of dirty water in her hand.

After seeing Ning Wuchai and the others, the woman was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and asked, "You guys...... Yes?"

Immediately after, before Ning Wuchai could speak, the woman's face suddenly changed, and her lips trembled slightly: "But what happened to Brother Shan?"

"Brother Shan?"

Ning Wuchai was slightly stunned, and then said, "I don't know who you are talking about, do you recognize the name Shen Xiaolou?"

"When the ......"

As soon as the words fell, the copper basin in the woman's hand suddenly overturned to the ground, splashing the sewage flowing all over the ground, and her eyes looked at Ning Wuchai in disbelief and said excitedly: "Shen, Shen Xiaolou! How do you know this name?!"

"I knew she wasn't dead...... She's not dead, is she?!"

Jing Hai shook, and the woman glanced behind Ning Wuchai and the others, the loss in her eyes flashed, but then she asked with a look of anticipation: "How is she doing now? Why hasn't there been any news after so many years? But what did you bring?! I've been waiting for her here, and I know she's definitely coming back!"

Ning Wuchai looked at the face that was seven points similar to Shen Xiaolou, but it looked a little vicissitudes, and it was obvious that the woman in front of him was the sister in Shen Xiaolou's mouth.

opened his mouth.

I couldn't bear to tell her that answer.

"She's dead. ”

Yu Qingmei said on the side, raised her hand and took out a white porcelain jar with red Xipa hanging from the storage ring, and handed it over with both hands: "Twenty years ago, on the way to Jinsha County where she got married, she encountered a landslide, and the entire family sending team did not survive. We met her ghost when we were slaying demons before, and she asked us to send her bones back and return to her roots. ”

The woman subconsciously took the ashes jar, and suddenly shook as if struck by lightning, and looked at the building word embroidered on the red Xipa with blank eyes, and opened her mouth, but she trembled lightly and didn't say anything.

After a while, as if after realizing it, two lines of tears flowed from the wrinkled eyes, and they began to cry bitterly.

The flowers on the old locust tree bloomed and thanked.

Twenty years have passed, swaying, the alley is still the alley, and the girl of 28 cardamom has become a woman with a face full of vicissitudes today.

After waiting for 20 years, what I finally waited for was a jar of bones, and it is estimated that no one can accept such an outcome for a while.

Ning Wuchai sighed slightly and looked at Yu Qingmei.

But I saw her turn her head sideways with a calm face, untied the wine gourd on her waist and poured it violently, Tsing Yi swayed in the wind, and her heart didn't seem to be as waveless as it seemed on the surface.

Seeing the woman holding the ash jar and sitting in front of the door and crying bitterly for a while, Lin Caiwei said a trumpet and walked over to help the woman into the courtyard.

"Humanity is slim, ghosts are noble, Shen Shizhu also asks for mourning, this is the obsession of Xiaolou girl, she failed to fulfill her filial piety during her lifetime, so after death, I hope that her bones can always accompany the second elder. Lin Caiwei said slowly in a gentle voice.

The woman nodded with red eyes, and cried: "My father and mother were still worried before leaving, whether the Jinsha Han family was good to my sister, and muttered why not go back to the door to see, and asked my distant uncle to go to Jinsha County to inquire, but then it was delayed again and again, and it was over." ”

"Later, I asked the caravan to inquire, and I learned that the eldest son of the Han family in Jinsha County died less than half a month after my sister got married, but my sister still has no news, as if there is no such person......"

Ning Wuchai sounded a little embarrassed, there is still a Yuliu County between Bahe County and Jinsha County, which is actually considered a distant marriage.

The news is blocked, and the road is rough.

If Shen Xiaolou hadn't told Shen Xiaolou about the annihilation of the family team, I'm afraid no one would have known.

lost the daughter who married someone else in the middle of the road, and most of the Han family didn't dare to say anything, so naturally they could delay it for a day......

The woman sobbed and choked, and then hugged the urn and cried, as if she wanted to vent all the bitterness of the past twenty years.

It wasn't until the chickens in the chicken coop began to cluck that the woman seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly knelt down slowly in front of Ning Wuchai and the others, her eyes were red and swollen, and she choked up: "Now that my sister's wish has been granted, Shen Xiaoye is here to thank all the immortal masters......"

Lin Caiwei on the side hurriedly supported her and sighed softly: "No need to be polite, we also sympathize with Miss Xiaolou's experience, but unfortunately she hid from me when she left, and didn't give you a word." ”

Shen Xiaoye shook his head, reached out to wipe the tears on his face, and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, my sister is back, it's already good, it's really good." ”

Ning Wuchai glanced at the courtyard and couldn't help frowning.

Wild vegetables to dry, simple houses, even the firewood door is crooked and leaky, there are two chickens on one side of the courtyard, and the fenced chicken coop has a strong smell of.

He has been living in Kuishan all these years, and he has lived a simple and elegant life of cultivating immortals, but he has never thought about what kind of life the civilians under the mountain will live.

Looking at Shen Xiaoye's rough hands, as well as the face that was obviously more vicissitudes than women of the same age, Ning Wuchai couldn't help but ask, "Sister Shen, have you been waiting here for news from your sister, and you haven't moved for so many years?"

Shen Xiaoye sat down and nodded, and said, "Back then, my father and mother always believed that my sister was not dead, so the old mansion here has never been sold. ”

"And after that, you're all waiting here alone?"

"It's not. ”

Shen Xiaoye shook his head, and reluctantly showed a smile on his face and said: "In the early years, my father and mother met an old Taoist priest who was passing by, and was cheated of a large sum of silver, but fortunately, a disciple of the Immortal Family came to the Sword Washing Pavilion to help chase the silver back, surnamed Lu, called Lu Xichuan. ”

Later, he often helped the people of Bahe City to exorcise evil spirits for free, and he always came to ask for a bowl of water to drink when he passed by my house. ”

"Just ......"

Speaking of this, Shen Xiaoye's voice paused slightly, the smile on his face slowly rose, and his eyes were lost: "Later, he disappeared, and the immortal masters of the Sword Washing Pavilion said that he had stolen the heavy treasure and defected, and instigated the villagers to smash his home, and squeezed out their family openly and secretly. ”

"His parents took his younger brother to the Bahe River in a fit of rage, only his younger brother Xiaoshan was rescued, but after he was rescued, he was also stupid and stupid, I simply let Xiaoshan live with me in this old house, although the life is poor, but it is also reasonable......"

Stupid and stupid?

Ning Wuchai was stunned, and the appearance of the thin beggar at the entrance of the alley suddenly crossed his mind, and he just wanted to open his mouth to confirm, but heard the sound of a copper basin falling to the ground at the door.

"Oops!"

As a somewhat pungent voice sounded from outside the door, a chubby figure twisted in, and complained when he opened his mouth: "I said Shen family girl, why did you put the copper basin at the door!

"Let's not talk about that!"

Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward to take Shen Xiaoye's hand, and said with an anxious expression: "I said, how can you still sit still! I'm in a hurry, but something is wrong! Your Xiaoshan and a few children are playing on the Bahe River, guess what?"

"Somehow, these unlucky kids suddenly poked through the ice hole!"

"Your little hill and the little sixth son of his family outside the horse!"

"Overboard!"
