Volume 1 Investigation of Corruption, Life and Death Are Inseparable, Meeting the Deceased Chapter 23 The rivers and lakes do not believe in tears

Although Fang Cai Luokui's words are gags and half-truths, what she said is also reasonable, but only after thinking about it, it is full of flaws, if Qu Lian is a scheming person, after careful consideration, there are a hundred words to refute, but she did not think about it carefully, only put her mind on the honey stewed fried fish and Jingmo.

The eyes stuck to Jingmo's body for a while, Qu Lian took a bite of the melon slices, only to feel that the entrance was sweet and crisp, it was a rare top grade, and ordinary people couldn't eat it: "This is Jiashi melon, I heard that this melon is very rare, except for the palace use, the rest were robbed by several royal families in Qingzhou early, even my father can only look at it with a blank eye, Luokui, where did you find it." ”

As he spoke, Jingmo had already swallowed two melon slices with great pleasure, stretched out his hand to the third melon slice, and waved his hand with a big grin: "If you can't even get some rare melons and fruits, the name of the unequaled son will really become a straw bag." ”

Qu Lian was not frightened by his eating appearance at all, but her eyes flashed, and there was still the breath of Jingmo in her hands, which swept over the tip of her nose, and the roots of her ears couldn't help but burn, pressing her fluttering heart, she smiled and nodded: "This melon is worthy of being a tribute, sweet but not greasy." ”

Lingxiao flower branches climb on the wall, the breeze passes, the emerald leaves are like the waves of the blue sea, surging up the wall layer upon layer, and the orange flowers are looming in the deep blue and light green tide, which is particularly delicate and lovely.

Luo Kui didn't continue to say this, but looked at Jingmo with a smile, pretending to know nothing about his recent situation: "Why did you come to Qingzhou, grandpa, why didn't you come with you." ”

Before the words were finished, Jingmo's sadness was aroused, and his eyes were sad and depressed, and he half leaned against a begonia tree in front of the court, Wei Ran sighed, and two lines of tears rolled down: "Grandpa, grandpa passed away half a year ago." ”

Seeing his long tears, Qu Lian was also sad, and hurriedly pinched the handkerchief to wipe his tears, sobbing while wiping: "Jingmo Jingmo, if you have something to say, don't cry, I'm also sad when you cry." ”

Jingmo held her hand tightly, crying miserably and sadly, unable to restrain herself: "Qu Lian, look at me, you see that I am too sad, so I tell you to see the joke." ”

Luo Kui had heard this bad news half a year ago, and now she heard it again, this heartache has not subsided by half a point, like soaking in the cold winter ice water, the pain is gradually wooden, she patted Jingmo's back, endured the throbbing pain in her heart, pretending to know nothing about Yangzhou, and mourned: "Jingmo, don't be busy crying first, grandpa's body and bones have always been very good, why did he die suddenly, Jingmo, you tell me, how did grandpa die." ”

"I ...... I don't know, I just know that grandpa was ...... first First it was hemoptysis, then it was ...... gradually became bedridden, and invited all the ...... in Yangzhou City A famous doctor, but only half a month's work, grandpa...... Grandpa left me and left. Jing Mo cried as he spoke, he couldn't say a whole sentence when he sobbed, he cried so badly, and he didn't say a word about the truth.

There are two kinds of people in this world who are the most comfortable, one is a confused person who doesn't know anything, and the other is a person who understands who doesn't want to know anything, but what a person, Luo Kui sighed secretly, but he can't do it in the end, it's rare to be confused, and he can't be the most comfortable person, grandpa's death is not a disease, let alone the end of his life, nor is it as ordinary as Jingmo said, hemoptysis is poisoned, and there is no antidote to the medicine stone, Qu Jia is the ancestor of the world's poison making poison, although this kind of kung fu is made by yin and poison, but it is an invincible kung fu in the world, which is extremely useful, for thousands of years, I don't know how many people who disdain this way, but they fell on it and lost their lives。

Several thunders in the clear sky from far and near, the sound of heavy blows in Luo Kui's heart, the pain continued to ooze blood, at that time the wind with gusts of whistles hit, and the humid water vapor rose in all directions, seeing that a rainstorm was coming.

Jingmo's body was weak, he couldn't get up when he knelt on the ground, he cried miserably with a high voice and a low voice, and Qu Lian accompanied Jingmo with tears rippling, and a handkerchief had already been drowned by the tears of the two. Jingmo couldn't stop crying: "Ah Kui, as soon as grandpa left, the clansmen of the Jing family occupied most of grandpa's fields and real estate, and drove me out. ”

Seeing this scene, Luo Kui sighed in her heart, Qu Lian is a girl, at first glance, she was weak and sad and difficult to hold herself, which is reasonable, but Jingmo is a dignified seven-foot man, no matter how grief-stricken he is, he should also have a trace of clarity in his heart, and act safely. Luo Kui shook his head helplessly, Jingmo's heart may be difficult to gain a foothold in Qingzhou. If, if there is a chance, it is better to send him back to Yangzhou and leave this place of right and wrong, she looked straight at Jingmo, her eyes were bright and Chicheng, and her words were firm: "Don't worry, from now on, no one will be able to hurt you." ”

Not far away, the thick clouds rolled, the wind was rushing, and the layers of rain flew down through the cracks in the leaves, and the rain was rapid, and it flooded every part of the courtyard in an instant.

"Jingmo, Jingmo, don't cry, my heart is going to break when you cry, I, I, don't worry, you can rest assured, I will protect you in the future, no matter what happens, I will accompany you, and I will never let you live a poor life." Qu Lian's crying makeup was also spent, her hair bun was loose, her soaked clothes were attached to her body, revealing a thin complexion, she cried as if she had died of her father, "poof" knelt beside Jingmo, stretched out her hand to hug him, and wrapped him tightly in her arms, but she really hugged her head and grieved, and tears flowed.

Looking at Qu Lian's equally sad tears, and his empathetic heart, Jing Mo's heart was painful and sweet, but he saw Luo Kui's calm expression, only his eyes were sad, he couldn't help but be sour and astringent in his heart, and turned countless thoughts, thinking that Luo Kui and the Jing family had no deep friendship, and they hadn't seen each other for too many years, and it was common for them to have some lives, but Qu Lian and herself were just Pingshui encounters, and this sincere heart was particularly valuable, Jingmo was moved, hugged her and cried: "Qu Lian, I know, I know that you treat me well, you treat me best." ”

Luo Kui was not a weak person in the first place, no matter how grief-stricken, she rarely shed tears, and the people around her were also emotionally introverted, over the years, she only had to hide her sadness and anger to be tucked is human nature, naturally she will not understand the pain and sweetness, sour and astringency in Jingmo's heart at this moment, she is full of wonder is that now is not the time to talk about the past, there are more mistakes when you talk more, who knows how many secret things Grandpa told Jingmo, who knows what secrets Jingmo's fast mouth will say, so she just said that she didn't remember the past in the future, and patted him on the back: "Jingmo Jingmo, in the future, no matter how difficult it is in the future, we must live well. ”

Jingmo wiped a handful of water marks on his face, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he responded with peace of mind: "That's nature, I will rely on you to raise it in the future." ”

The old courtyard was poorly drained, and a storm swept by, and within a few moments the water was running sideways, the water was churning, and the pomegranate flowers in front of the courtyard were knocked down countless by the rain, winding down the ditch until far away.

The three people who were soaked in the rain were drenched, Luo Kui took Jingmo to the next room to change clothes, and then pulled Qu Lian into her own room, and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her wet hair.

There are three Nanmu cages in the corner of the house, all carved with the same begonia pattern, but the two mouths outside do not have padlocks, and the inside one is bet on a brass pipa lock, the vermilion bird on the lock body spreads its wings and is about to fly, and the whole body is inlaid with thumb-sized jade to decorate, obviously holding valuable things.

Luo Kui turned over in the two cages outside, she had a lot of clothes, but most of them were ordinary materials, rare silk Luo, and the ornaments were only embroidered on the neckline and cuffs with some tangled branch patterns, not as embroidered all over the place as Qu Lian was wearing, and her own slightly shabby and simple clothes, worn on a rich lady like her, were a loss of identity and would make people laugh.

Moving his eyes to look at the Nanmu cage with the pipa lock, Luo Kui sighed lightly, leaned over and fiddled behind the lock for a while, and after hearing a slight creak, he took off the key on his waist, poked open the lock, leaned in the cage and found a goose-yellow poppy beauty gauze dress, and a red gold moonlight pleated skirt, handed it to Qu Lian, and sighed half-jokingly: "This is my most expensive clothes." ”

Qu Lian is knowledgeable, a touch of the know that this is the best clothing, embroidery cutting is also the royal craft, its price is like gold, can not help sighing: "This eighty percent is the unequaled son of the son of you to find, this kind of clothes can not be bought just with money." ”

Luo Kui snorted ominously, changed into a mugwort silk dress and a moon-white dark flower skirt, tied with bean green Ruyi silk, her wet hair hung low, and the water droplets fell on the green brick floor, softly blooming and swaying flowers, she put Qu Lian's hands in her palms, with a sincere and apologetic face: "Qu Lian, I'm sorry, I've been hiding from you for so long." ”

Qu Lian twisted her face, pressed her mind back and forth, shook her head and smiled: "It's nothing, you are also thinking about others." Thinking of what Jingmo said about her childhood sweetheart, her expression was a little gloomy: "Luokui, you, are you and Jingmo really childhood sweethearts?" ”

The water in the wet hair dripped onto the skin along the collar, the thin cold hit the body, and tiny pimples appeared on the skin, Luo Kui snorted, the tip of her nose was sour, she sneezed, smiled and shook her head: "I and Su Zi are serious childhood sweethearts, besides, Jingmo's mouth is used to laughing, and he can't look down on my rotten green plum, and I can't look down on him as a rich bamboo horse." ”
