In the east of Xinghua Village, there is a simple and good family, and there is a good girl who is as pleasant as a magpie.

Overnight, things are wrong, and for Liu San, he was already dead when Xi'er died.

Tang Yunduo still sobbed softly, she was pure in heart, although Tang Yunjie killed someone, but she felt as if she had made a mistake, why the third brother with a warm face like a warm sun would be so miserable She never imagined. Tang Yunduo carefully supported Liu San, the pear blossoms brought rain, which was very pitiful.

Liu San, whose face was dry, said calmly: "Girl, I'm home." ”

In a word, Tang Yunduo suddenly cried bitterly, and Lu Xiaobu couldn't help but burst into tears.

Originally, Xi'er's body should have been parked in the ancestral hall before the funeral, but Liu San refused and placed Xi'er on his bed, Tang Yunduo freshened up Xi'er and put on new clothes, she was the same as Lu Xiaobu, she used to be most afraid of ghosts, but now she is not afraid at all for some reason.

Lu Xiaobu found a white cloth, and the hall was vegetarian.

Ah Huang also stood obediently at the door, bowing his head, as if weeping.

The sun is setting.

Zhu Ziqi carried Xu Tianran on his back, and Chihiro followed silently.

Xu Tianran's injuries were slightly better, and he was able to speak, "I let you carry it on my back again, I owe you a lot, and I can only promise it with my body." ”

Zhu Ziqi turned his five fingers into claws, and suddenly Xu Tianran's face turned blue and he couldn't speak.

Chihiro had a cold war, it seems that her master has a little problem, is it possible that she doesn't love women and men?

Xu Tianran breathed silently, and when he saw the white cloth hanging high in the hut at the head of the village from a distance, his heart suddenly sank and he was silent.

The same is true for Zhu Ziqi.

Lu Xiaobu was no longer noisy, and prepared dinner with Tang Yunduo, Liu San insisted on working together, killed the two hens that laid eggs together, and made a sumptuous dinner.

Lu Xiaobu couldn't stand the dull atmosphere, so he was at the door with Ah Huang, waiting for the adults who went out to work like children to return.

Xu Tianran and Lu Xiaobu looked at each other from a distance, their eyes were facing each other, and they had no words, each with their own tastes in their hearts.

Lu Xiaobu waited for Xu Tianran, Zhu Ziqi and Qianxun, this is the best answer, but there is no trace of joy, only a hanging stone in his heart falls to the ground.

Xu Tiantian's body was stronger than Zhu Ziqi imagined, and he insisted on sitting and eating.

Liu San persuaded Xu Tianran to rest in bed first, and under Xu Tianran's repeated insistence, Liu San stopped talking.

Xu Tianran looked at a sumptuous dinner, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

Zhu Ziqi didn't understand why Xu Tianran was like this, Xu Tianran talked about it left and right, Liu San took out the rice wine buried in the cellar when Xi'er was born, and beckoned everyone to drink it together.

Liu San said calmly: "This is my daughter Hong, I was supposed to drink it on the day of Xi'er's wedding." ”

In a word, even Xu Tianran, who never showed his emotions easily, couldn't help crying silently, Tang Yunduo howled and cried, and kept saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Zhu Ziqi gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Brother Liu, the murderer has been ambushed, tomorrow the sect master of Yunlu Mountain Villa and all the elders will come together to offer condolences and make amends to Xi'er." ”

Liu San stood up, knelt down suddenly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for seeking justice for the little girl, there is no way to repay the great kindness and great virtue." ”

After saying that, he kept kowtowing.

Lu Xiaobu hurriedly supported Liu San, Liu San struggled to continue to kowtow, no matter how much strength Lu Xiaobu used, he couldn't hold the simple old man and kept knocking heavily on the ground, the scene in front of him, Tang Yunduo will never forget it for life.

Liu San saw that Xu Gongzi was so seriously injured, and knew how difficult this trip to Yunlu Villa was, Yunlu Villa was an unattainable place like a fairyland in the eyes of mortals within a radius of thousands of miles, if there was no Xu Gongzi and his party, he could only accompany Xi'er to die together, where the revenge was avenged, and the sect master of Yunlu Villa could apologize in person.

Liu Sanlao burst into tears, and the blood on his forehead ran down the bridge of his nose, across his cheeks, and dripped to the ground, leaving an indelible mark.

Late at night, Xu Tianran asked Chihiro to help herself up, sat quietly in the courtyard, and watched the lonely moon hanging high and the stars shining.

Qianxun stood silently behind his master, Zhu Ziqi changed into a clean white clothes, quietly stood behind Xu Tianran, and asked softly, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Tianran said calmly: "In my hometown, the old people say that when a person dies, he will become a star in the sky to protect the person he cares about. ”

Zhu Ziqi is soft and the corners of her lips move slightly, "It's a beautiful statement." ”

"Which star has my mother become, which star has my senior sister become, and which star has Xi'er become, will they silently watch us above the sky?"

"You also have an innocent side, you believe in the fairy tales that the old people want to comfort their loved ones. ”

Xu Tianran's eyes gradually dimmed, Zhu Ziqi knew that he had said the wrong thing, how could Xu Tianran, such a smart person, not know that it was a fairy tale, he went to Jinyang to go to the grave of his mother, at this time he just missed his mother, missed his senior sister, and missed Miss Xi'er.

Zhu Ziqi, as he did back then, sat beside Xu Tianran with his knees crossed, "Every star in the sky is a place of people's thoughts." ”

"You haven't told me why you went to Jinyang?"

Zhu Ziqi pursed his lips, "Li Shiyu, the second county lord of King Jin, competed on August 15 to recruit relatives, she is my favorite sister, and when I was a child, I liked to play with her butt the most." Back then, my father and Uncle Jin were brothers and sisters, but I didn't expect to turn against each other later, which has not been seen for ten years, although I can't participate in her big wedding with my real identity, but I don't want to miss it. went to Jinyang here, and was content to wish her the joy of being married. ”

Xu Tianran's eyes flashed with an unknown gentleness, and he fell into a long memory. In the cold palace, only the eyes of his mother and second sister are gentle, Xu Tianran remembers everyone who has kindness to him, if it weren't for what Zhu Ziqi said tonight, he didn't know that his second sister was about to get married.

Xu Tianran's face became solemn, like an old farmer who couldn't pay off his debts at the end of the year, he was worried about the second sister's wedding, but the hundreds of taels of silver that he had been abducted and deceived in Pucheng Pit had all been left in the White Tiger Building, and he had to worry about the silver money.

The rivers and lakes are really not easy to walk, why do the heroes and young heroes of various sects never worry about money when they walk the rivers and lakes?

Zhu Ziqi teased: "Could it be that you have a heart of admiration, and you also go to a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and you can get glory and wealth in one day." ”

Xu Tianran came back to his senses and ignored it.

Zhu Ziqi jumped lightly and returned to the room, as if he was a little angry.

Xu Tianran asked Qianxun to help find a needle and thread, took out a light purple silk cloth from the baggage, and took advantage of the moonlight to sew the sachet clumsily, and he had nothing, only Xu Er gave a piece of agarwood to get his hands on, so he made a sachet and gave it to the second sister, which was also very good.

Zhu Ziqi looked through the window and looked at Xu Tianran, who was pricked by embroidery needles from time to time, and closed the window heavily.

With a "bang", Lu Xiaobu, who was sleeping sweetly, was woken up and said in a daze, "Did it thunder?"

Xu Tianran had no sleep all night, as a second-grade monk, sleep was not essential for him, and he usually meditated and practiced at night, and tonight he was supposed to take a vacation for himself, slowly touching the needle and thread, and embroidering two ugly sachets.

After making the sachet, how can it be delivered to the second sister? Xu Tianran became distressed again.

Chihiro silently guards her master and meditates all night long.

The next day, the mourning hall was set up.

Tang Yunduo came to the mourning hall early, and his whole body was vegetarian.

The villagers of Xinghua Village heard that Xi'er was killed by the third son of Yunlu Villa, although they regretted what happened to her, but they heard that the old Liu family had offended Yunlu Villa, and none of them dared to come to mourn, but dared to watch from a distance, shaking their heads from time to time.

Zhu Ziqi's face was slightly angry, and Xu Tianran comforted: "It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." ”

The sun climbed up the three poles, reflecting the clarity of the heavens and the earth.

Tang Hao and more than a dozen people were all dressed in coarse cloth and white, not to mention the whole body, but also to show respect for the deceased.

The villagers watched the immortals of Yunlu Villa descend the mountain, and they were so frightened that they all put down their farm work and rushed home, closing the door tightly, ignoring what was going on outside the window.

Tang Yunlong knocked on the door of the courtyard three times.

Liu San said coldly: "Please come in." ”

Tang Yunlong bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "The sect master of Yunlu Mountain Villa and the elders came to mourn Miss Xi'er. ”

Liu San didn't know how to deal with it at all, Zhu Ziqi was dressed in white, bowed his head slightly, and received everyone in Yunlu Villa without humility or arrogance.

Liu San had a sad face and silently burned the paper money.

Tang Hao took the lead in unsheathing his sword and stood outside the mourning hall to show respect for the deceased. The elders untied their swords one by one, and Tang Yunlong silently stood the saber outside the door and accompanied the last seat.

Chihiro handed three sticks of incense to the group one by one.

Tang Hao stepped into the mourning hall, bowed deeply three times, saluted Xinxiang, put down his noble self-esteem, and apologized to the humble Liu Sanzuo.

Liu San bowed slightly, which should be a return gift.

Tang Hao said in a deep voice: "Brother Liu, Miss Xi'er is deeply sorry for the trouble of Yunlu Villa, today I personally came to apologize, and I hope that Brother Liu will forgive." From now on, if the three brothers Liu are willing to go to Yunlu Villa to make a nominal offering, Yunlu Villa will let the three brothers Liu enjoy their old age in peace. ”

The faces of the accompanying elders were full of surprise, how could the worship of Yunlu Mountain Villa be held by a mortal.

Liu San didn't know how to answer, Xu Tianran returned the salute on his behalf: "Thank you for the kindness of Sect Master Tang, I believe that Brother Liu hopes that Yunlu Villa can treat the ordinary people in the territory well from now on, and he will be satisfied not to let Xi'er's tragedy repeat again." ”

Tang Hao cupped his fists and saluted back, "Yunlu Mountain Villa will definitely restrain its disciples from now on, treat all ordinary people well, and protect the radius from monks." ”

Liu San burst into tears, he was deeply grateful to Xu Tianran but didn't know where to speak, as soon as Xi'er died, his heart was already like ashes, where would he go to be a nominal offering to enjoy the glory and wealth, his heart was dead.

After Tang Hao and his party left, Tang Yunlong's whole body was vegetarian, kowtowing in front of Xi'er Lingtang to make amends, silent, sincere and touching. Tang Yunduo hid his face and cried softly.

After three days of silence, Xi'er was buried.

Liu San thanked Xu Tianran, Zhu Ziqi, Lu Xiaobu, Qianxun, Tang Yunlong and Tang Yunduo for helping the coffin out of the funeral, and even put it into the ground for peace. In the evening, they were treated to the village tavern with sumptuous food and drinks.

Zhu Ziqi dragged Xu Tianran to the courtyard and said worriedly: "Do you know that Brother Liu went to the pavilion chief, sold a few acres of thin fields, and bought a coffin for himself to arrange the funeral?"

Xu Tianran looked up at the night sky, "I know." ”

"Why don't you stop Brother Liu, he is obviously preparing to kill himself after we leave. ”

Xu Tianran said calmly: "When Xi'er died, Brother Liu was already dead. ”

"Are you so hard-hearted? That's a human life, isn't it good to try your best to let Brother Liu live?"

Xu Tianran sighed: "Sometimes it's harder to live than to die. ”

Zhu Ziqi jumped high, and a few jumps disappeared into the night.

Xu Tianran reached out and caught a few of her tears.
