Huang Jiao walked in, Du Wei stepped forward and took Huang Jiao's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, please mourn!"
Huang Jiao and Du Wei sat down, Huang Jiao said: "Sister, my dead ghost has killed countless people in her life, the second sister-in-law used to have bloody hands, and now the second sister-in-law doesn't want to kill people for Flying Eagle Castle, the second sister-in-law now just wants to grow up, and my dead ghost and the second sister-in-law also saved a lot of money before their death......
Huang Jiao said, her voice became choked, Du Wei reached out and patted Huang Jiao on the shoulder, Huang Jiao continued: "Although orphans and widows, it is enough to spend. ”
Du Wei said: "My righteous brother values love and righteousness, and he will take care of your mother and son." ”
"Let me tell you the truth, in the past, my family could work hard for him, but now ......"
Du Wei interrupted Huang Jiao's words and said: "Second sister-in-law, you're too worried! Second sister-in-law, you've been too sad these days, don't be angry for the sake of Lihe! ”
Du Wei and Xiaoxue went out of the wing room, and asked the people at the door where Hua Lihe went, Du Wei and Xiaoxue went out of the fort, and arrived at the small lake under the mountain, and saw Hua Lihe sitting alone on the grass, Du Wei walked to Hua Lihe and sat down, and Xiaoxue also sat down next to Du Wei.
Du Wei turned his head to look at Hua Lihe, reached out and leaned his head on his shoulder, and the two watched the eagle in the sky hovering over the small lake.
An egret flew up from the shore of the lake, only to see the eagle swoop down, catch up with the egret, pecked the back of the egret, pecked off two pieces of white feathers from the air, the egret's body sank and flew forward, the eagle flew to the back of the egret, flapped its wings, the egret and the eagle flew out not far, the egret fell to the ground, was pecked by the eagle, grabbed by both claws, and rushed away.
"Do you think that the egret is pitiful?" Du Wei asked, leaning his head against Hua Lihe's hair.
"No, you have to be like an eagle, no one dares to bully him!"
"Little ghost!" Du Wei said and stretched out his fingers to bracket Hua Lihe's nose, Hua Lihe looked up at Du Wei and said, "How do you know what I think in my heart?"
"The egret was beaten, and your nervous look betrayed you!"
"Auntie is amazing!"
"Let's go home!" Du Wei withdrew his hand from Hua Lihe's shoulder, got up and took Hua Lihe's hand and walked towards the castle with Xiaoxue.
Liu Yue received the letter, opened it and saw that the above paragraph was a greeting message, and below there was a small poem written by Du Wei, and Liu Yue read it in a low voice:
The wild goose flies far away, and the wind and rain are carried on one shoulder.
The sound leaves a long road, coveting last year's grain.
The wild goose breaks through the world, forgetting the past wounds.
Wash the fog in the wind, and transform into far vicissitudes.
"What do you mean?" Hua Zifang asked.
Liu Yue said: "The wild goose flies to the distance, in the wind and rain it is silently endured by itself, although it is hard, but it sings all the way, in its heart, recalling the scene of foraging last year, maybe soon to reach the destination to enjoy the deliciousness, the last two sentences are said that the wild goose flies south and north, sadness and troubles continue to forget, after the wind and rain washing, the song is louder than the other, the heart dilutes the residual sadness, and constantly improves itself, the vicissitudes and tragedy have become once gradually forgotten. ”
"Mu Weizi's poem is very good!" Hua Zifang said.
"Yes, Du Wei compares herself to a wild goose, and it is very appropriate for her to go south and north by herself, Du Wei is not only excellent in martial arts, but also very talented, it can be said that he is full of poetry and books, and he goes to the soup for himself. borrowed a tiger courage, and supported the sky with one hand in the martial arts. ”
Du Wei and Xiaoxue returned to the mourning hall, saw Huang Jiao squatting in front of the brazier and burning paper money, walked to her and squatted, Xiaoxue stood aside, Du Wei grabbed a handful of paper money and burned it with Huang Jiao.
It's time for Fuling to go up the mountain, the people waiting outside are coming in, Du Wei and Xiaoxue go out, the sky is drizzling, Xiaoxue stands in front of Du Wei and pulls the big shawl white hat and filial piety collar on Du Wei's head, Xiaoxue holds Du Wei's arm and goes up the mountain with the funeral procession, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, the team stops and stops, every time the person who stops to carry the coffin has to drink, Du Wei and the people pour wine for the people who help carry the coffin.
When it was time to be buried, Du Wei pulled Hua Lihe and Xiaoxue to stand aside in the forest, watching Hua Xiong's coffin be buried, and the two maids supported Huang Jiao, she was crying and crying, and Du Wei stepped forward to comfort her.
Back at Flying Eagle Castle, Du Wei washed up and put on his dress, and Xiaoxue went to Hua Yishen's flower hall, Hua Yishen was talking with the sixth lady Li Rui and Hua Liukai, and when Du Wei came in, Li Rui beckoned Du Wei and Xiaoxue to sit down, Du Wei said: "I haven't asked my brother Sister Lin and Citi how they disappeared?"
Hua Yishen said: "They originally went to the town to buy a horse supplies, probably returned to the fort from the town before dark, and were intercepted and killed at the Yellow Bridge, and were found the next morning. Xiao Lin and Qi'er are gone. ”
"Huangqiao is a remote place, leading to Shilipu, Flying Eagle Fort, Forbidden Sword Villa, Furong Town, Longmengang, but he disappeared in the same night as my grandfather and my brother, so did you leave the other party's body at the scene?"
"No, it's all from the fort. ”
"Killed eight castle generals but none of them died, the other party is not a small person! No one escaped the news, and there were not one or two people who came, so what kind of lethal weapon is the righteous brother, has you seen it carefully?"
"There was blood in the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouth, and I couldn't find any injuries on other parts, and I also looked carefully at their eyes and nails, and there was no poisoning. ”
"In other words, if the injury is in the body, then there is only one possibility, it is a strong internal force to shock to death!"
"But there is no part of the body that is subjected to internal force. ”
"There's a way to find out. Du Wei said.
"Crack open the corpse and examine the internal organs?"
"Yes!"
"But many days have passed, and I have to give up this plan. ”
"What kind of martial arts don't touch the skin and hurt the internal organs, and it is impossible to have such a magic skill!" Hua Liukai said.
"I think what's even more strange is that he quietly kidnapped my grandfather, Du Xianran, Xie Lin, and Citigroup, neither extorting money, nor asking for any quid pro quo, what is the purpose?"
"Then it might just be a blind detention!" Mr. Hua said.
"We must get the inside information of the Baotian Palace, but the information that our inside line can get is not important, so one person has to enter the Baotian Palace to investigate!"
"Baotian Palace is heavily guarded, who will you send?" Hua Liukai said.
"I'll go!" Du Wei looked at Hua Liukai.
"I'd better go! For the sake of our friendship with Baijiabao, they will also help. Hua Yishen said.
"Don't fight, as long as Huajin Mansion encounters any danger in the future, you will help, and the righteous sister will be very grateful. ”
"That sister should be more careful along the way, go early and return early!" Li Rui said.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry! Du Wei got up and took Li Rui's hand and said.
"When are the righteous sisters going to leave, and the righteous brother and your sisters-in-law will send you off?" Hua Yishen said, stood up, and Du Wei said: "The matter is urgent, I will arrange Huajin Mansion to visit the righteous sister-in-law when I return to the house tomorrow." ”
"The feast is ready, let's go to the attic to dine together. Hua Yishen said.
In the first half of the night, they chatted and rested separately, and returned to Huajin Mansion from Feiying Fort the next morning, Jiang Baizhan heard that Du Wei was going to the Southern Baotian Palace, so he had to go with him, Du Wei said: "This time I went to inquire about the news, the officials can rest assured, Wu Shiling and the lady will go together and take care of each other." ”
Du Wei wrote a letter to Du Ting and sent it to his subordinates, and Jiang Baizhan went out of the house and walked towards Qinglian Nunnery.
Master Jinghe heard that Du was coming, and greeted him outside the gate of the nunnery, and entered the nunnery together, Du Wei explained his intention to Mrs. Jinghe, and when he saw Luo Yin, Du Wei said: "Is it the habit of sister-in-law living here?"
Luo Yin said: "Raw and cooked, cooked and accustomed, I have made up my mind, no need to persuade again!"
"Since the sister-in-law has decided to become a monk here, the sister-in-law will no longer stop her, and the son has come to say goodbye to the sister-in-law this time. ”
"Where are you going?"
Du Wei said: "Southern Treasure Heavenly Palace." ”
"What are you doing in Baotian Palace?"
"Of course, I went to Baotian Palace to find out the whereabouts of the Seventh Lady, Citi, my grandfather and Du Xianran. ”
"I heard that the Baotian Palace is heavily guarded, with a post at thirty paces and a sentry at fifty steps, you must not take risks!"
"I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid that I won't have much time to visit my sister-in-law in the future. ”
"It's a long journey, and it takes months to go back and forth. And who's going with you?"
"A personal maid in my house!"
"Since you are going, pay more attention to your body along the way, and go early and return early. ”
"Remember, you must go early and return early. ”
