Seeing that the team was getting closer and closer, Cheng Muyou and Jiang Xixi hurriedly flashed to the side and waited for them to pass.
A few people recognized Cheng Muyou and wanted to bow down, but he stopped him and raised his hand to let them pass first.
When the funeral procession was far away, Jiang Xixi walked to the middle of the mountain road again, and said to Cheng Muyou while looking at the soul-attracting flags fluttering in the wind, "My lord, it seems that this family is not short of money, and the coffin of the golden silk nanmu is big and heavy, but it is very rare." ” Cheng Muyou also walked to her side, his eyes drifted into the distance, and said coldly, "Money can't buy sincerity, I think that the people in this coffin are sleeping in Jinshan Yinshan, and their hearts will not be happy." ” Hearing what he said, Jiang Xixi looked stunned, and immediately asked, "Why did the Lord say that?"
The person who sent the funeral just now cried so sadly, but why did the adults say that people were not sincere?
” "Grief?
The person who followed the coffin with the soul banner in his hand should be the son of this family, he just saw me, his face changed suddenly, and he even held back his tears, as if he was frightened a lot, if there was not a ghost in his heart, how could he be so afraid of the people in the government?
Cheng Muyou's voice was cold and stiff, and the white breath he spit out stained his face a little blurred.
Jiang Xixi's eyes rolled, "What do you mean that the person in this coffin did not die normally, but was killed by someone?"
” Cheng Muyou turned his gaze to her face, "It's up to you to check." ” Jiang Xixi frowned, "Since the adults are suspicious, why didn't they stop him from opening the coffin for an autopsy, and he had to do more?"
” Cheng Muyou sighed helplessly, "It's a pity, how long have you been with me, why don't you understand the government's handling of cases, the most taboo is to put salt into the fire, if you act rashly, I am afraid that the most important evidence will be missed, and in the end, it may be self-defeating, and it will be frosty in June." ” Seeing his stern tone, Jiang Xixi couldn't help but stick out his tongue and asked quietly, "Then my lord, do you mean that we should secretly inquire, look for evidence, and wait until the time is ripe to arrest the suspect?"
” Cheng Muyou glared at her with disgust, "You either don't understand, or you're too anxious, don't be so reckless in the future." ” Jiang Xixi nodded again and again, "I will go to the village below the mountain tomorrow to inquire about who the person in the coffin is and why he died." ” After finishing speaking, seeing that Cheng Muyou didn't reply, she whispered again, "My lord, I was wrong, I will be cautious next time, and I will never dare to be careless again." ” But Cheng Muyou still didn't speak, he stared at a small dirt on the trunk of the tree and didn't move, as if he was in deep thought.
Jiang Xixi walked slowly to his side and looked at the trunk of the tree with him, "This is the nest of the earth bee, why are you suddenly interested in this thing?"
” Cheng Muyou came back to his senses and said slowly, "The earth bee is also called a moth, and it is a very common insect, but why he is afraid of this thing, I can't figure it out. ” Jiang Xixi was a little confused, "He?
Who are you referring to?
” Cheng Muyou was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "It's just an old man, you don't know it." ” Jiang Xixi let out an "oh" and said softly, "When I was a child, I often heard people say that moths have children, and moths win and lose, but I don't know what it means?"
” Cheng Muyou looked back at her, and a cloud of mist appeared between his eyebrows, "The moth has a son, and the moth wins or loses?"
” Yushan Village is located at the foot of the mountain, when Jiang Xixi arrived there, the clusters of houses built against the mountain are rising on the roofs of the curling smoke, brilliant clouds, lying in the sky not far away, this small mountain village set off like a landscape painting.
She walked along the path into the village, and before she had gone far, she met an old woman carrying firewood, so she hurriedly stepped forward to talk, "Mother-in-law, I went to Luoyang to look for relatives, and I happened to pass by here, and I saw that it was getting dark, can I borrow a bed to rest?"
Then she took out a little money and put it into the old woman's hand, and said again and again that she was tired.
The old woman returned the silver ticket to her, grinning kindly with a mouth with few teeth left, "Girl, I am the only one in the old family, and some of them are some coarse tea and light rice and melons and fruits grown in your own field, if you don't dislike it, you will stay there for one night, as for these silver tickets, they are really free." ” Seeing this, Jiang had no choice but to put away the silver ticket, thanked the old woman again, and walked with her towards the house at the end of the village.
On the way, they passed by a spacious courtyard, and Jiang Xixi saw that there was a white silk hanging on the gate and a white flag in the courtyard, so he pretended to ask casually, "Mother-in-law, is there someone in the village who is doing a funeral?"
” The old woman said "oh", "This is Dong Zongyuan's family, his mother died of illness a few days ago, and she hasn't passed the first seven days, so she still has white silk." ” "This winter is cold early, and the old man's body is not strong enough, and there are also cases where he can't withstand the wind and cold."
Jiang Xixi followed her words and said.
The old woman shook her head, "I believe it if you want to say that others were knocked down by the wind and cold, but this old lady Dong is a strong body, and young people can't compare to her, so how can you say that if it's useless, it's useless." ” Hearing her say this, Jiang Xixi's heart suddenly set off a wave, she suppressed her emotions, glanced at the Dong family again, and then asked in a low voice, "Mother-in-law, what do you mean, this old lady Dong died strangely?"
” The old woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "What's strange, after the death of the old lady of the Dong family, her body was still at home for a few days, we all went to see it, and there was nothing unusual, it was indeed sick and died, I just sighed that the world is impermanent, this person said no, there is no more." ” Although Jiang Xixi was puzzled in her heart, her face remained unchanged, and she continued, "Then what is the relationship between Dong Zongyuan and his mother?"
” "How's the relationship?
Girl, why are you suddenly asking about this?
The old woman looked at her puzzled.
Jiang Xixi hurriedly smiled, "It's nothing, I'm just asking." ” Fortunately, the old woman was not suspicious, and she replied as she walked forward, "Speaking of the relationship between Dong Zongyuan and his mother, the old man is very envious." ” "Envy?"
"Isn't it?
This old lady Dong has such a son in total, naturally she is regarded as a pearl in her palm, and she loves her very much, Dong Zongyuan is also filial, and she listens to his mother in everything.
It's like an old son, who is away all the year round, and it is rare to come back once a year, but it is far worse than Dong Zongyuan. ”
