Eighteen, the fourth round of bamboo leaves thousands

It's already slow, Xie Sijiu has already died his wife.

Xie Li was like a wooden chicken, sitting on the ground, looking at Ye Qianqian, and then at Xie Sijiu, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

Qiu Bai knelt on the ground in front of Xie Li, a lot of blood was poured on her, as if nothing happened, she reached out and wiped the corner of Xie Li's mouth. Who knew that Xie Li was a mouthful of thick blood, spraying on Qiubai's neck, and his snow-white skin was lined with red blood, like a delicate peony blooming on the snow, which was very weird and terrifying.

After a long time, I heard Xie Li ask, "Aren't so many dead sisters afraid?" Qiu Bai didn't care that there were many dead corpses before, Xie Li asked this, and then he remembered, and suddenly felt nauseous in his chest, and couldn't help but vomit out. I heard Xie Li say again: "Father and mother are the same as them, it's really gone, and they will never come back, and God won't open the net and ask them to come back because they are your loved ones." Qiubai heard him say miserable, and big tears rolled down. Xie Li said again: "Sister, in fact, your biological parents and brother are long gone, we were afraid that you would be sad, so we didn't tell you......"

Qiu Bai said lightly when he heard this: "Li'er, I already knew, I heard you talking to my mother that day, otherwise I would just beg my mother to change my surname to Xie ......" Xie Li laughed miserably: "That's good! Now we are both fatherless and motherless orphans." Qiubai laughed a few times and said, "Li'er, I used to hear my mother say that when a person dies, it is not that he is gone, but that he goes to another place. Xie Li's eyes lit up: "Really? I've heard it before." Qiu Bai saw Xie Li's eyes staring at her tightly, full of hope, so he nodded. Xie Li said: "Where can I go, how will I find them in the future?" Qiu Bai said: "It depends on what kind of people they were and what kind of things they did in their lifetime." Some people can become immortals, and some people will go to hell. Daddy is so good, she must become an immortal. Xie Li wiped a handful of tears and said: "For so many years, I have been getting along with them day and night, but I don't know where they come from. Qiu Bai said: "Didn't Daddy say it, Mom left something." ”

Xie Li was about to look for it, but Qiubai stopped and said, "Li'er, let's bury my father and mother first." Xie Li said: "Let's take a look first." As he spoke, he walked towards the cowshed, and after taking two steps, he turned around and said, "The things left behind may not say where they came from, so I buried my father and mother first." He shook his head without taking two steps, turned back, and then turned back without two steps, and so on and so on no less than seven or eight times.

Qiu Bai was horrified, afraid that he would go crazy, and shouted: "Xie Li!" Xie Li naturally said "um", raised his head to look, but did not see Qiu Bai in front of him, turned around, looked at Qiu Bai and said, "What's wrong?" Qiu Bai said: "You come to my sister's place." ”

Xie Li walked in front of Qiu Bai, Qiu Bai reached out and stroked his face, and said softly: "Li'er, whether it's looking for it first, burying it first, you have to do the same, right?" Xie Li's tears welled up again, and he cried: "Sister, I am ...... I just don't know what to do. The two of them joined hands and sat down on the ground, Qiu Bai stroked Xie Li's hair again, and said softly: "Let's take a look at what things are going on." Xie Li nodded.

The two of them steadied their minds, dug a few feet under the direction Xie Sijiu said, dug up a clay pot, and when they opened it, there was only a small bamboo slip, and there was nothing else. Xie Li looked at it carefully for a while, and handed the bamboo slip to Qiubai.

Qiubai saw that the bamboo slip was about four inches long and about one inch wide, and both sides were small with fly's heads, round and delicate, upright and rigorous, quite a pine and snow remnant, because he said: "Huang Tianhou Tu and his parents are above: the Yan thief used the name 'Jing Nan' to rebel, and the Fang family died in the prison of the ten clans." The unfilial daughter Zhu Chu fell into Qin Huai and followed Qu Zi's loyalty, and Mengmen Ding Fang saved her life with all her life, and did not give up her life, how can she talk about righteousness? It is disloyalty and injustice. Forty-nine moonlight wind, Yuan Zhi Lan, symbiosis symbiosis and pity for me, and Cailan gives peony. Although he was grateful, he threatened with death, and married with him, and the right to tie the knot with the grass ring. Without the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the destruction of the covenant of the white head is rude and unbelievable. Bamboo is disheartened and does not have the idea of revenge, which is unfilial. Now giving birth to a son, I don't want to carry a three-foot sword, I want to make immortal achievements, but I want to be obedient. It will also be far away from its civil and military, and its name is separation, which is unkind and unwise. Due to the avoidance of unforeseen disasters, Sijiu returned to the gate of the Xie family, and the bamboo named Ye Qianqian, the true meaning of this is insignificant. Disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness, injustice, rudeness, unwisdom, and unbelief of thousands of kneel books, and bow again. ”

Xie Li listened, stared at Qiubai, Qiubai muttered: "It turns out that Li'er's word 'Li'er' means this, no wonder my mother is always unhappy to see you ask me words, and I don't like you to learn martial arts." Xie Li said: "I don't know what is written on this bamboo slip, and then tell me about it." Qiu Bai said: "Have you ever heard of Fang Xiaoru Fang University?" Xie Li shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." Did he write this bamboo slip?" Qiu Bai said: "No, this bamboo slip is indeed written by this mother." Xie Li said: "What does that have to do with Fang?" Qiu Bai said: "Listen to me, when I told you about the good grandfather and the master that day, I mentioned this Yan King, who is the 'Yan thief Zhu Di' on this bamboo slip." Xie Li was shocked: "It's the current Yongle Tianzi, my mother said that he is a thief, it seems that this emperor is not a good thing." Qiu Bai said: "After King Yan broke through Yingtian City, he arrested many people, and also posted a list of rebellious ministers and thieves, one of whom was a scholar of this party. At that time, King Yan had ascended the throne and became the emperor, and he wanted someone to come to draft an edict to tell the world, so he found this scholar, and he was the emperor of the previous dynasty...... Zhu Yunwen's attendant lecturer was loyal to the emperor and refused to draft the edict. Xie Li stretched out his hand to pick up Xie Sijiu, put him and Ye Qianqian together, and said, "It seems to have some backbone." ”

Qiu Bai continued: "King Yan was annoyed and angry, so he ordered the nine clans of the scholars to have another clan, a total of ten clans. On that day, Grandpa Shan's "Zhu Shi clan also has it" is this scholar. Xie Li said: "I see." Qiubai said again: "It is rumored that the king of Nayan also ordered that every time he killed, he should bring it to the scholars, and after seeing it, he killed it for seven or eight days, and more than 800 people died. Xie Li frowned and said, "This dog emperor is ruthless and vicious." This scholar is really hard-hearted, with more than 800 lives, how can he be so ruthless? If I see someone trying to kill my father and sister, I will agree to anything. Qiu Bai asked, "Sister is also counted?" Xie Li said simply: "Of course, you are my relative, and I can't let people kill you even if I fight for my life." ”

Qiubai asked himself: "What is he and me?" and said: "Li'er, don't forget what you said today. Xie Li said: "Hit the pit on the ground and never forget it." He didn't learn much, he could only say "hit the ground and smash the pit". Qiu Bai nodded slightly, and continued: "King Yan...... Zhu Di asked someone to execute the scholar Ling Chi, and also ordered the wife and daughter of the scholar to be prostitutes for life. Xie Li said: "What do you mean by being a prostitute?"

Baling also has a place for fireworks, Xie Li also passed by when he was selling firewood, went home to Ye and Xie about the situation at the door, was scolded by Ye Qianqian, and was warned that if he approached again, he would break his leg, because he only knew that it was not a good place, and he didn't know anything about the word "prostitute".

Qiu Bai said: "All in all, it's not a good place, and you don't need to know." The wife of the scholar and his two sons committed suicide by hanging themselves. Xie Li sighed. Qiubai said again: "The two daughters committed suicide by throwing themselves into the Qinhuai River. Xie Li suddenly said, "What happened later?" and clasped Qiubai's hands tightly.

Qiu Bai was in pain by him, and pulled out his hand and said, "One of the daughters, Fang Zhu, was rescued by the Fang family's doorman. The two fell in love with each other on the way to death, Fang Zhu wanted to marry him as his wife, but the man did not agree, Fang Zhu forced each other to die, and finally got married. Fang Zhu changed his name to Ye Qianqian again, gave birth to a son, and said that he didn't want him to practice literature and martial arts, and named him ......"

Xie Li suddenly spoke: "Xie Li, isn't it??" Both hands wanted to grab Qiu Bai's shoulders, Qiu Bai's chin was against his collarbone, he dodged for a while, and cried: "Yes." That Fang Zhu is the mother, and that doorman is the father. Xie Li also cried: "Only now do I know about my parents' family affairs, it is really unfilial, it is really unfilial!"

It turned out that the emperor that Chi Yushu saw above the hall was Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor, and the Confucian scholar was the university scholar Fang Xiaoru. According to this bamboo slip, Ye Qianqian is the daughter of Fang Xiaoru, and Xie Sijiu's surname is Xie.

Qiu Bai said: "I really didn't expect that behind my father and mother, there would be such a shocking crying ghost and god secret, and you are actually the blood of Fang University." Xie Li beat his chest and said: "I don't want it, I don't want my father and mother to live, I don't want to be the descendant of the ruthless and unrighteous people, I don't want it, just don't ......" Qiu Bai said: "The scholar is respected by the community as a model of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and trust, and is admired by others, how can you say that he is ruthless and unrighteous?" Xie Li shook his head: "Is benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith just want the family to be ruined? ”

Qiu Bai said: "Li'er, how can you speculate so much? What's more, he is still your grandfather, whether you want it or not, you can count it." When Xie Li heard this, he froze on the ground, like a vicious wolf whose strength had been exhausted, looking at Qiubai fiercely.

Qiu Bai moved closer and said, "Li'er, let's make a coffin for my father and mother." Xie Li's eyes gradually softened, and he nodded: "My heart is so chaotic, it's all up to my sister to deal with." ”

The coffin was ready, Qiu Bai took out scissors and cut off Ye Qianqian's wisps of green silk, tore the strips of cloth and wrapped them and handed them to Xie Li to hide in his clothes. Xie Li put the bodies of his parents into it along with the bamboo slips, remembering that this moment was the farewell, and his heart turned over and struggled dozens of times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and closed the coffin and buried it in the backyard.

When filling in the soil, Xie Li's face was stunned and he didn't say a word, and Qiubai was also silent, accompanying him left and right. When the mound was formed, I suddenly heard a few cheerful birdsong from the northwest dry sky. Slowly looking up, those birds have long since gone, how can they be seen? The two looked at each other blankly, and after a long time, they slowly cried.

At dusk, Qiu Bai finally pulled Xie Li to Daoheng's house and bandaged his wounds, because he said: "Li'er, you are sad in your chest, if you are next to that grave, you will cry to death." Xie Li said "um", and after half a cup of tea, he asked: "Sister, you said so much at that time, but there weren't many words on the bamboo slip?" Qiu Bai said: "Many of them are passed on by word of mouth among scholars, and I told you about them in one place." Xie Li said: "I heard you read the 'White Head Covenant', but then you didn't tell me, what is the explanation?" Qiu Bai said: "Between Dafan husband and wife, it is often said that 'white heads grow old together', I guess my mother had a marriage contract before the disaster, and marrying my father is to destroy the 'white head covenant'." Xie Li suddenly said: "If my mother doesn't marry my father, will I still give birth to her?"

Qiu Bai heard the maid in the family talk about getting married and having children, and when he heard Xie Li ask, he couldn't help blushing and blushing, because he said: "How do I know?" Xie Li said: "Then why don't you believe it and be rude?" Qiu Bai said: "Destroying the marriage contract is because you don't believe it." It is also rude to say that the matchmaker without parents is rude. In fact, they didn't run away from marriage, they must have trusted Grandpa Shan's escape from marriage back then. ”

Xie Li thought about it for a while, and then said: "My sister said that Scholar Fang is an example of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and my mother said that she is a master of the five constants, alas, ......" Qiubai said: "For this reason, it is still 'disheartened and not thinking of revenge' as my mother said." Xie Li said: "What do you think of my sister?" Qiu Bai heard the words and thought that his family was killed by the Shen family, and burst into tears, and said: "You and I didn't know before, but it's just a matter of paying it back, and today I learned that we don't share the hatred of the sky, how can we not repay it?"

Where did Xie Li know her thoughts, but she thought that Zhu Di was high and powerful, and she was sad that she couldn't start, and said: "You and I are weak, and I want to be the emperor, it's no different...... It's not different, hit the stone with an egg. Even my mother has no intention of revenge, she has her own reasons. But today's big hatred, if you don't avenge it, you swear not to be a person!" Xie Wei vaguely remembered the other party's filial piety, and when he first knew his life experience, he was quite unimpressed with the old things. But for today's events, it can be said that it is unforgettable, and he vows to take revenge.

Qiu Bai said: "If the wicked person is not from the Triad Gang, it must also be related to the Taoist title." Xie Li said: "Let's go to Brother Xiao and see if we can find out who it is." Qiu Bai said: "That's it, you won't leave me alone, right?" I said at the beginning, I will go wherever you go." Xie Li said: "Now neither of us can do without each other, no matter where we go, we will go together." ”

Qiubai Changshu said angrily: "That's good, I really didn't get this brother in vain." By the way, the fan?" Xie Li took out the fan and said, "Before I can put it up, I will ......" Qiu Bai suddenly shouted: "Oh......! It's a pity, it's all burned down. That thing...... Can it be burned?" Xie Li was not sure, and said: "No, it's not like iron, it will only turn into water, and if it's cold, it will become a lump again." Qiu Bai said: "Let's go and find out." "Get up and pull Xie away. But thinking of going back at this time, Xie Li couldn't help but feel sad again. She knew that her parents were dead, and she had tasted it, and Xie Li saluted her, and she gradually developed a sense of care, and she couldn't bear it. Then he grabbed him again and said, "It's not too late tomorrow morning." ”

Xie Li unfolded the paper fan and said, "I peeked during the day, and I haven't had time to ask you yet." On one side of the fan were written three characters - "heaven, earth, and man". On the other side is a fan drawing, painting two people on the top of the mountain, because there are no branches in the distant trees, and there are no eyes in the distance, and they can't see their faces clearly, only knowing that they are an old man and a young man. The young man hung a long sword at his waist, knelt down in front of the old man, and the old man held the young man's right hand with his left hand, as if he was telling something, and the young man carefully understood. Looking closely, the old man's beard is uncertain, and his clothes are cloudy, just like the style of a fairy family. A river on the left side is like practice, the mountains are like bamboo shoots, the slanting sun will not set, the sunset is like purple and red, but it shows a trace of sadness and sadness. There are also words such as "Hongwu Jiaxu midsummer on the top of the Tianshan Mountains".

Xie Li asked, "Do you know what kind of painting this is?" Qiubai secretly asked what he had seen and heard before, shook his head and said: "I don't know, there is no payment, this mountain is not like the Tianshan Mountain." However, from the perspective of the method and the outline of the strokes, it looks like a woman's painting. And the three words 'heaven, earth and man' are strong and upright, with pine bones, which seem to come from the hands of men. Xie Li said: "Is there anything you don't know? Even if it is a fan, although my sister doesn't know what the painting is, she can still say one, two, three." Qiu Bai smiled bitterly: "Why are you talking about this, just put it away." ”

They slept only three hours, and then they returned to the grave to add new soil, and remained for a long time before they remembered to look for gold and silver. At the moment, I was looking for a good location, and I was busy for half an hour, and finally dug it. The gold and silver ingots had long been mixed together, and they had no appearance, and they were mixed with impurities such as scorched cloth and earth stones. I had to cut it into several pieces, and deliberately cut down a few very small pieces and put them in the baggage brought from Daoheng's house. He also looked for earrings, jade hairpins, bracelets and other jewelry that Qiubai had taken off, but found nothing; he also remembered that the breeze dissipated the antidote, and the same was true, and the livestock did not know where to go.

The two of them kowtowed three times in front of the grave, and then turned back step by step out of Meiziling and walked north.

In the evening, I came to a market, and asked where the money bank was, and wanted to remit a piece of gold and silver. When the shopkeeper saw the piece of gold and silver, he looked at the two of them and was full of doubts. The two glanced at each other, only to realize that they were all ragged and dusty, Qiubai has always been clean, but he didn't care about this in the past two days, because he whispered a few words to Xie Li, Xie Li said: "There is water at home." The shopkeeper seemed to have a sudden realization, estimated the ratio of gold and silver, used a pole to weigh the flat color, pulled the abacus a few times, and counted the cash and made money. The two of them did not care about the height of their heads, they took it and left. As soon as the shopkeeper turned around, he immediately smiled, and whispered to the young man beside him: "We have a few more such idiots in this treasure number, and in less than half a year, you and I can both go to the general number." The guy smiled evilly and even claimed "yes".

In the early morning of the second day, the two sisters each bought a set of ordinary clothes and hired a carriage to relieve Qiubai's many pain in the soles of his feet.

The two sisters and brothers went all the way, crossed the river and crossed the river, stayed overnight, and when they rested in the inn, they lived in a room, and Xie Li used a chair to build a bunk underground. At the beginning of Qiubai, there were some precautions, but seeing that Xie deviated from the rules,
