The dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and even the glimmer of the stars could not be seen.
The night fog hit, and the midsummer night was a little cooler, but this bit of coldness was really nothing for the two people who were in a hurry with their hearts, they walked a few steps and looked back, and from time to time they were scared out of a thin layer of sweat by the night owls who came out of the cold from time to time, so when they finally came to the door of the Huang family, the night clothes were almost soaked.
Cheng Muyou and Jiang Xixi took off the black shirts they were wearing outside, and after calming down a little, they knocked lightly on the dilapidated wooden door three times.
"Who?"
The voices in the room were weak and wary.
So Jiang Xixi took a step forward under Cheng Muyou's signal, "Sister-in-law of the Huang family, we are Liu Chengmao's relatives, and we took the liberty to come here this time to communicate with you about the existence of the case, so that the government can solve the case." ” There was no movement inside, but after only a while, the door was opened, and a face covered with tears poked out of it, "Please come in, everyone is sick and sick, don't be polite anymore, come in and sit." ” The two glanced at each other, and decided that the sister-in-law of the Huang family was a person who was easy to talk to, and they knew that the news they heard was right, that Master Huang was kind, so he had always been at odds with Qu Zhengkun, and the reason why his death this time made the Yaxing Master of Liaoyang County move the crowd was just that Qu Zhengkun was afraid that this fire would burn on him.
Cheng Muyou felt a little relieved in his heart, walked into the Huang family house with Jiang Xixi, and saw that only the mourning hall was arranged inside but the spirit did not stop, so he asked in a low voice, "Master Huang, is he still in the county office?"
” The sister-in-law of the Huang family wiped the tears on her face and nodded, "Master Qu said that the case has not been investigated clearly, so people can't go home now" Immediately, she raised her head again, "My family official is kind, and I have never heard of him making enemies with others, I can't figure out who was ruthless to him when I think about it, I don't know if you have some clues?"
” Cheng Muyou hesitated slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "I take the liberty to ask more, I wonder if Master Huang has ever been a soldier?"
” The sister-in-law of the Huang family looked stunned, "My family officials did participate in the army and fight, but it was all thirty years ago, is it related to today's events?"
” Hearing this, the two of them had already made up their minds about the guess, it seems that these murders that occurred in Liaoyang County are really inseparable from the battle thirty years ago.
Seeing their solemn expressions, the sister-in-law of the Huang family hurriedly asked, "Do you already know who the murderer of my master is?"
I also hope that a few people have something to say, don't hide it. ” Cheng Muyou looked directly at her anxious face, "Now the situation is not clear, we are just guessing that this matter has something to do with that battle, and the identity of the murderer is still unclear."
And the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and I hope you will never mention tonight's matter to others, and leave the rest to us. ” His voice was calm and calm, so even if it was the first time they met, the sister-in-law of the Huang family inexplicably had a trust in him, which was much higher than that of Qu Zhengkun of Liaoyang County, although he swore to the sky with three fingers during the day to help her officials avenge her, but she had no hope.
Therefore, looking at the three people in front of her, her soul, which had been wandering outside her body, finally returned to her place, and her heart was a little more steady, although she was still ignorant and didn't know what the relationship between her father-in-law's death and the battle of Song Liao was.
With mixed feelings in his heart, the young man suddenly asked again, "Sister-in-law Huang, are there any people in Liaoyang County who participated in that battle?"
” The sister-in-law of the Huang family was stunned, "Those soldiers also came from all over the world, and they basically went home after the battle, and some of the local people in Liaoyang of course stayed, and there were not a few people" She widened her eyes, "The Liu family and the Chen family really have something to do with the events of the year?"
” "Sister-in-law Huang, apart from these three, is there anyone else?
It's a matter of life and death, so please think about it carefully.
Cheng Muyou saw that she was quite frightened, and hurriedly pulled her thoughts back.
"Yes, of course, Xianggong and Liu Chen are not close to each other, but he has two close friends, and they have a friendship with each other fighting together on the battlefield."
"Squeak."
The wooden door was pushed open again, and the crescent moon looked out the window at the sky, although it was not yet bright, but it could already faintly see that the night was thinning, and soon, the morning star would rise, taking away the long night.
Well, it's punctual, every day is this time, not early, not too late.
The familiar black shadow stood by the door, looked at the crescent moon quietly for a while, stepped over the threshold and walked to her side, ripped the cloth from her mouth, let her lean into her arms, and fed the bowl of soup in her hand into the crescent moon's mouth spoonful by spoonful.
The soup was still hot and delicious, and the man fed it very slowly, patiently, and not at all anxious, waiting for her to swallow the next bite, and then feeding the next bite.
Finally, the bowl of soup was finished, and the crescent moon obediently opened its mouth wide, waiting for the mass of cloth to be stuffed into its mouth again.
But today, things were a little abnormal, the cloth ball was not stuffed, and the man just hugged her and looked up at the rising star outside the window.
"What's wrong with you?"
Crescent Moon said the first words in the past few days, and because her mouth had been gagged for a long time, her voice was hoarse, and she almost didn't recognize it herself.
The person behind her didn't speak, and after a while, the crescent moon felt a chill on the back of her neck, and a tear hit her neck, she was taken aback, and just wanted to turn back, but was held down by the person on the top of her head, "Ta Buyan, today is your birthday, I haven't forgotten, and I never dare to forget." ” The crescent moon was stunned: The tower doesn't smoke?
It's a strange name, it doesn't sound like a Han Chinese name.
"My name is Crescent Moon, did you recognize the wrong person?"
She hesitated to say this, and after listening to the silence behind her for a long time, she smiled, "Do you know why my name is Crescent Moon?"
My father said, in the mother's womb I was not a worry-free child, my mother gave birth to me for three whole days, I just don't want to come out, and then finally tossed enough, I only came out of my mother's belly under the pull of the three midwives, my father said, seeing my white and fat appearance, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as he looked up, he saw a crescent moon hanging on the eaves, extremely white and beautiful, so yes, he named me the crescent moon.
By the way, my father also built a pavilion at home for me, called Zhanyue Pavilion, which means that you can see the moon when you look up. ”
