There was a sudden commotion outside the door, one of the voices belonged to Shen Qing, hearing this, Cheng Muyou hurriedly walked towards the outside of the courtyard, Jiang Xixi and Shi Jin followed him and went out of the courtyard door together.
Walking outside, I saw a few people making a mess in the narrow alley, walking in front was a middle-aged man, he was holding a roll of straw mats, inside the straw mats, faintly revealing a pair of pale and thin feet, behind him, a little girl was throwing herself on the ground, hugging the man's ankles, crying silently.
And Shen Qing also tugged at the man's sleeve, arguing in his mouth, "Brother Jiao, I will definitely be able to scrape together the money to buy a thin coffin for the eldest sister, she has already died so miserably, how can you bear it if you throw her so naked in the iron and stone fence again." ” The middle-aged man was pulled so that he couldn't walk, he closed his eyes, tears bent a few times in the wrinkles on his face, and slowly dripped from his chin, "It's all because I don't have the ability, I didn't even let her eat a few meals before I died, and I can't even afford to buy a coffin after death, girl, don't blame your father, in the next life, find a good family to reincarnate, don't look at the wrong eye again." ” "Brother Jiao" "Shen Gongzi, you don't have to hide it from me, for this marriage, you don't have much money left, and there is still a place for you to spend money after marriage, you just let me send her over, the child of a poor family, there is no wealth to enjoy in life, so don't pay attention to it after death."
Seeing that he still insisted on leaving, Shen Qing's heart was crossed, and he blurted out without thinking about it, "I can borrow some silver from the Qiao family, the day after tomorrow, no, tomorrow, I will bring it to you tomorrow, you will believe me once, please, Brother Jiao." ” The man's footsteps stopped, and he turned his head, "Shen Gongzi, you don't have to be like this."
"If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have died, so you should give me a chance to pay off my debts in order to give me peace of mind."
The man was still hesitating, and at this moment, Cheng Muyou seized the opportunity to come up and patted him on the shoulder, "Jiao Yi, don't embarrass him, I'm afraid, if you put the child in the iron and stone fence, he will have to move it back in person, the matter of the coffin, Shen Qing will definitely be able to solve it, you just take the child back first, and wait for his news." ” The county magistrate himself was a lobbyist, of course Jiao Yi didn't want to say anything more, he held the straw mat, glanced at Shen Qing suspiciously, and walked towards his house with heavy steps.
Seeing him and the children walk into the house, Shen Qing wiped his eyes, cleared his throat, and saluted Cheng Mu, "My lord, I don't know why you came to find Shen this time?"
” Cheng Muyou glanced at his thin body, "Let's talk about it when we go in." ” After a few people walked into the courtyard of the Shen family, Cheng Muyou stared at Shen Qing, "I made a special trip to remind you that you must be careful recently, the Hu family has not all been brought into the case, then Sun Huaijin has also broken away from the bronze tripod, and they may be unfavorable to you at any time." ” Shen Qing frowned, "Why do they hate me so much?"
not only killed Erxi because of this, but also killed the eldest sister of the Jiao family. ” "The Hu family is originally different from ordinary people, for so many years, their family has lived to resurrect Sun Huaijin, paranoia is terrible, they think that you revealed Sun Huaijin's affairs to the government, so they hate you very much, plus now that the Hu family has died a few more people, this blood debt is estimated to be attributed to you, so, if they don't return to the case for a day, you have to take extra precautions, and I will also send someone to your house to ensure your personal safety."
Shen Qing suddenly thought of something, he held the model of the armillary sphere in the courtyard in his arms, and gently tossed a few bamboo strips on it, "My lord, I have an idea, two more days will be the day of the lunar eclipse, if you guess correctly, that day is Sun Huaijin's Huisha Day, according to the Buddhist scriptures, the Huisha Day is the fifth seven days after the death day, at that time, the soul is the bardo body, and it is the easiest to resurrect."
And that day was also the first seven of the eldest sister of the Jiao family, I think that the Hu family deliberately chose to resurrect Sun Huaijin on that dark and dark day. ” "Why do you say that?"
"It is not easy to resurrect a person.
"Eight Suo" records, in the Western Jin Dynasty, a person named Zixiu was not happy because of the loss of his wife, so he used a lot of methods to resurrect his wife, he succeeded, one night, he saw a woman sitting in front of the mirror to make up, the back is exactly the same as his wife, Zixiu was overjoyed, so he walked over and pushed open the window, let the moonlight flow into the house, want to see her more clearly, who knew that the moonlight on the woman, she actually whined and cried, and said: Yan Jun saw that you missed your wife, and was touched by your sincerity, and ordered me to return my soul to the world, It's just that he specially told that the soul returns to the sun, and he is not allowed to see the light of heaven for two hours, otherwise, even the Queen Mother of the Jade Emperor will have no skills to return to the sky.
After saying this, the soul gradually disappeared, and no matter how Ren Zixiu called, he didn't come back. ” "So the day of the lunar eclipse five days later is the best time to resurrect Sun Huaijin?"
Shen Qing nodded, "On the day of the lunar eclipse, not only will the whole world be dark, but those unjust souls killed by Sun Huaijin will gather into his body, thus making him more likely to be resurrected than at other times, so the Hu family has been waiting for so many years just to seize this best opportunity." ” Cheng Muyou frowned, "So the most important thing now is to catch Sun Huaijin and the little boy left in the Hu family, but the people sent out have been looking for them in the mountains for a few days, and they still haven't found their whereabouts, so I really don't know where these two people are hiding." ” "If there are no in the mountains and forests, adults might as well think about it, will they come to the city?"
Jiang Xixi listened to it for a long time, and finally was able to interject, "Bringing a monster that has not yet been resurrected to the city?"
It's unlikely, right?
” Shen Qing touched his chin, "I don't know how they did it, but according to my observation, the Hu family seems to have a very prejudiced view of the government, when Hu Jing discarded the corpse of Wang Cheng, and even deliberately chose to patrol the night of the curfew, just to show off his might in front of the official family, plus what Lord Cheng said, the Hu family is extremely extreme, so I think they will definitely choose to complete this most important ceremony in Xin'an City." ” Jiang Xixi's heart jumped when she was shocked by his words, she clenched her fists, "I don't know who the last human animal he picks will be?"
According to their character of retribution" She paused, glanced at Shen Qing who was frowning in front of her, and turned to Cheng Muyou and said, "My lord, otherwise, I will also stay to protect Shen Gongzi, and add more manpower, and be more at ease." ”
