Chapter 54: Yao's Death
Half of the West Lake is in the city of Hangzhou, the other half is located outside the city of Hangzhou, it is better to eat wild summer rice and go outside the city, there are more tourists by the lake in the city, only in the secluded place there are only a few people, but these few people have also packed up their things and left.
Helpless, the two could only walk back, passing by the place where Sima Pet's painting boat docked, and it was from here that Dugujing got on the boat. Sima Pet is not on the ship at this moment, but many people still come here habitually, but there are many fewer people today.
Seeing Dugujing and the veiled Sima Pet, some people who recognized Dugujing stepped forward to see it, and when they heard the titles of "Dugu Gongzi" and "Sima Girl", everyone else also stepped forward to talk. Sima Pet was a little ugly, and followed Dugujing without saying a word.
It was mentioned that many days earlier, a corpse had floated up in the lake, and she was still a beautiful woman, about in her early thirties, so fewer people came to the lake.
Sima Pet slowly retreated, Dugu Jing noticed it, looked back at her and said, "This brother, Miss Sima is here, it's better not to talk about this matter." ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Dugu is right, Miss Sima forgives her sins, and she is being rude. This person is also a person who knows how to measure, and hurriedly confessed to Sima Chong.
Sima Pet returned the salute to him and said softly to Dugu Jing: "San Lang, let's go back." Dugu nodded, said goodbye to a few people and left, leaving a look of envy.
I didn't take a few steps, but I heard someone behind me say, "I heard that the woman is still holding a long whip tightly in her hand." ”
"Yes, I heard that the whip is a treasure, and I don't know who snatched it. ”
Dugu Jing stopped as if struck by lightning, turned around and came to the person who spoke, startling the young man: "Why did Dugu Gongzi go and return?"
"Brother Tai said that the woman was holding a long whip in her hand, I don't know if Brother Tai knows, what does that woman look like, and what does that whip look like?" Dugu Jing asked repeatedly.
"This is just hearsay, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes. The young man hurriedly explained.
Another person also said: "If Dugu Gongzi cares, you can go to Jingci Temple to see, the body was found on the second day of Gongzi's coming, and now it has been stopped in Jingci Temple for seven or eight days......"
"What, seven or eight days, what time is today?" Dugu Jing suddenly had an ominous premonition, he came to Sima Mansion on the second day he came, and he obviously only lived in Sima Mansion for four or five days, how could it suddenly become seven or eight days.
"Dugu Gongzi is afraid that he will not want to return if he is not a beauty, today is the beginning of summer, April 14. ”
Dugu Jing looked back at Sima Pet suddenly, but saw her eyes dodging: "Why do you want to lie to me?" It turned out that he had been asleep for three or four days, why did he lie to himself that he had only passed one night?
Sima Pet didn't care about the number of people around, he came over directly and grabbed Dugujing's arm and said, "San Lang, let's go back." ”
"Where is Jingci Temple?" Dugu Jing asked in a low voice.
But Sima Pet didn't answer, but the young man next to him pointed to the southwest with one hand and said: "It's on the opposite bank, Dugu Gongzi can go by boat, get off the boat and go south, or walk along the shore of the lake, and you can arrive in a moment." ”
"Thank you, brother. Dugujing thanked him, and went south along the shore of the West Lake with all his light skills.
Master! Sima Chong stomped his feet on the spot, probably guessed something, scolded Duan Heyu in his heart, and then glared at the young man, and followed.
But how can he catch up with Sima Chong's light skills, he can only watch Dugujing disappear into the distance, followed by a group of people watching the play.
When Sima Pet arrived at Jingci Temple, he saw that Dugujing had already come out of the temple, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation. It turned out that Dugujing did not see the corpse, and a monk heard that Dugujing was coming and told him that because the weather was getting warmer, the corpse had been buried a few days ago, and the other party asked if he wanted to open the tomb to check, Dugujing hesitated for a while.
Sima Pet comforted: "There are also many people who use whips in the rivers and lakes, presumably other people, not the senior that San Lang knows. ”
Dugu Jing was uneasy, and nodded subconsciously, he wanted to open the tomb to check but didn't dare, and he didn't think that person was really A-Yao, so he let Sima Pet lead him back. The people who followed Sima Pet saw that there was no drama to watch, and they all gradually dispersed.
For the rest of the day, Dugujing couldn't lift his spirits about anything, Sima Pet took him to see the people, and he was also not interested, so he had to return to the mansion early.
At night, a figure left Sima's Mansion and went straight to the burial place that the monks of Jingci Temple said.
This person was Dugu Jing, but what he didn't know was that there was another figure watching him secretly, and after he left, that long figure came to Sima Chong's residence.
Dugujing thought about it for a long time, but he was still relieved, and when he arrived at the tomb, he knelt down and said: "Senior, junior Dugujing has no intention of disturbing, just wants to confirm the identity of the senior, if you recognize the wrong person, you will come to sweep the tomb of the predecessor every Qingming in the future, and I hope that the predecessor is not strange." ”
After saying that, he kowtowed respectfully, and then got up and started digging.
On the evening of the 14th, the sky was full and the mountains were cool, and Dugujing waved a shovel to dig up the tomb in a moment, revealing a thin coffin. Throwing the shovel aside, Dugujing sat in the pit and didn't move for a while, he didn't dare, he was afraid that it was really A-Yao's predecessor inside. As if he wanted to delay a little longer, Dugujing looked up at the moon in the sky, and he began to think about what had happened in the past few days.
After falling asleep by his darling, he didn't wake up until the morning of the third day, which is the reason why his dantian was empty and weak. After waking up, the darling told herself that she had only slept for one day, and today she asked why she was hiding from herself, but the darling replied vaguely, only saying that she hoped that she would leave no harm. The Xuanwu double dagger is still there, which means that she doesn't want to snatch it. Huoyun Whip, if it is Huoyun Whip, it will indeed cause people in the rivers and lakes to snatch it, and the Qinglong Sword, yes, the Qinglong Sword!
Dugujing suddenly thought that before he fell asleep, he saw Miss Qin pull out the Qinglong Sword, if the darling attacked him at that time and was misunderstood by Miss Qin, maybe he would attack with all his strength, then ...... With Miss Qin's martial arts, why didn't the darling get hurt, didn't he really make a move?
Why should I doubt the darling, her martial arts are lower than mine, let's open the coffin and take a look. Dugujing raised his hand and patted his face, patting himself with a dirty face.
Taking a deep breath, Dugujing stood up, bent down to lift the coffin lid hard, a suffocating smell came to his face, Dugujing was defenseless and almost spit out, and hurriedly turned his face to the side and inhaled heavily.
Holding his breath, he turned his head and saw the familiar clothes through the moonlight.
"Senior A-Yao...... No, it can't be!"
Dugujing took out the fire fold from his arms, and accidentally dropped the fire fold on the ground halfway, and it took a lot of effort to light the fire fold.
As if he couldn't smell the smell anymore, Dugujing lay on the side of the coffin and stretched the fire fold in.
"Senior A-Yao, I'm sorry ......"
Dugujing knelt by the coffin, unable to cry.
The small sac on the waist, after opening, is the pill that has been soaked in water, and there is a fragment of Gu Shiding on the chest, which must have been put by the monks of Jingci Temple when they were cleaning up the body, all of which prove that this person is Ah Yao!
I don't know how long it took for Dugujing to get up, slowly cover the thin coffin, and I don't know how long it took to fill the soil, and then knelt in front of the tomb and said respectfully: "Ayao senior, in the future, Dugujing will come to erect a monument to the seniors, and the revenge of the seniors will also be avenged, and the whereabouts of Miss Qin will also be found." ”
When Dugujing returned to Sima's Mansion, it was already past the time, Dugujing did not change his clothes or lie down, so he sat in the room until dawn.
Early in the morning, the maid brought a handkerchief of Qingshui, and was startled when she saw Dugujing like this, put down the basin and ran to Sima Pet's residence. After a while, Sima Pet also arrived, and when he saw Dugujing's appearance, he was terrified, bit his lip and hesitated, but still walked into the room.
Sima Pet just wanted to speak, but he shrank his neck in fright by Dugu Jing's cold words.
"What happened after I was clicked by you that night?"
"I ...... After Saburo fell asleep that night, Miss Qin wanted to do something with me, but after finding out that your life was not in danger, she ...... left with A-Yao's seniors, and the darlings didn't know ...... behind."
"What about the Anxia people, and Xiaomei and Xiaolan, where are they?"
"Didn't I tell San Lang before, they all went to Longjing Village, and they have been living there these days......" Before he finished speaking, Sima Pet sobbed and shed tears.
Dugu Jing's heart ached, yes, why should I blame her, his martial arts are lower than me......
I don't know what came to mind, Dugu Jing said: "Click on my acupoint again." Sima Pet was stunned for a moment, and Dugujing repeated: "Just like that night on the boat, use all your strength to point at my Jizhong acupoint." ”
Sima Pet burst into tears, shook his head and asked, "Isn't San Lang blaming me, blaming me for killing A-Yao's senior?"
"I don't seem to have said anything, how did Miss Sima know that the deceased person was A-Yao's senior?" Dugu Jing squeezed his hands hard and asked coldly.
"I ...... I don't know ......."
Sima Pet turned around and ran, Dugujing chased out of the room and reached out to grab her wrist, but was stopped by an arm, Sima Pet called "Master" and then hid behind the man.
Dugujing took a few steps back, only to see that the figure was long and wearing a splendid dress, with a soft face and smiling eyebrows, at this moment a pair of bright eyes were looking at Dugujing, and his lips lightly showed a smile, there was a face better than a woman, but it was obvious that it was a man.
For both men and women, this person is too charming.
"Duan Heyu!" Dugu Jing said word by word.
Duan Heyu said with a smile: "Dugu Gongzi, embarrassing his daughter's family is not a hero's act. The voice was soft, and it made people feel sleepy and drowsy.
The internal strength of the dantian rushed up and ran for a week, and the feeling of sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
Seeing that Dugujing had regained clarity in just a moment, Duan Heyu couldn't help laughing: "Interesting." ”
