Ling Ruo had been following Shi Sheng silently, her heart filled with sadness and hatred. The long alley would not have caught fire for no reason, let alone such a big fire. It should have been set by the group of people chasing after her. Once the fire went down, the entire Yong Alley would be set on fire.
All turned into ashes.
She didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of her. Countless people died in this fire. These are all sins. She didn't want to harm others, so she wanted to leave, but there were still people one after another.
People died because of her...
Yinzhen - won't you give up until you beat me to the point of death? In order to kill her, you will even kill innocent people! You are the emperor and the father of the world. You should be the most compassionate person in the world, but why did you do it once?
Killing your own people every time, even if they are barbarians, they are still lives and your people!
You are so cruel. The late emperor made a mistake by entrusting the throne to you!
Hatred was like a huge wave, slamming into Ling Ruo's mind, making her wish she could rush to Yinzhen right now to question his cruelty!
Why, why is he chasing after her like this? Is the nineteen-year relationship just a mirror image? There is not even a trace of mercy; and he kills innocent people again and again. In Tongzhou, it can be said that it is for the sake of the overall situation, but what about here?
What's the purpose here?
Shi Sheng cried for a long time. He was so angry. Why didn't Ling Ruo come back after sending him to the cave last night? If he had come back in a hurry, maybe his mother would not have died.
His mother worked hard to raise him and endured all kinds of hardships. Before he could enjoy a single day of happiness, he was burned alive by a fire. Before his death, he even endured the pain of being burned by the flames.
"Ah!" Shi Sheng looked up to the sky and screamed. He had never hated himself as much as he did now. Why, why did God want to separate mother and son? His mother is his only relative!
Not far away, a woman kneeling in front of two charred corpses heard this voice, her body trembled slightly, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked towards the direction of Shi Sheng. There was a faint light bursting out, as if she wanted to go over.
But then it dimmed again and continued to kneel on the spot motionless.
Ling Ruo squatted down, feeling painful and guilty. She gently put her hand on Shi Sheng's shoulder and choked: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
The three words "I'm sorry" are so feeble, but other than that, she doesn't know what else to say. Everything happened because of her. If she hadn't been soft-hearted and agreed to Shi Sheng to stay for two days, this fire would not have happened.
, the stone mother will not die.
Although Shi's mother drove her away before her death, she could understand that Shi's mother was eager to protect her son, and she might have done the same thing, so she never felt any resentment.
Shi Sheng didn't look at her, he just hugged Shi Mu's body and kept crying. Who said a man wouldn't shed tears easily? In fact, it was just before he was sad...
After crying for a whole hour, Shi Sheng gradually stopped crying, but he still knelt motionless for a long time before he rolled his stiff eyes and said numbly: "I want to bury my mother."
"Okay!" Ling Ruo agreed, and based on his memory, he found the place where he used to live under the broken tiles. Fire can melt silver, but it is impossible to burn it away, so after digging for a while, he found her.
Although the hidden silver has been burnt and deformed, it does not hinder its use.
After Ling Ruo put the money away, she said to Shi Sheng, "Wait for me for a while, and I'll buy a better coffin for my aunt."
Ling Ruo quickly found a store specializing in longevity materials and asked him to buy a pine coffin as well as shrouds, paper threads, incense candles and other items. Afterwards, he gave some money and asked the clerk in the longevity materials store to hire a cart to transport the coffin.
Arrive at Changxiang. After helping Shi Sheng put the shroud on Shi Mu, he carried her to the coffin and put her away. White paper money was sprinkled along the way, and she was transported to the cemetery for burial surrounded by incense and candles.
Shisheng bought a knife on the way there. After burying Shisheng, he found a wooden sign and carved the name of Shisheng on it. Next to it was the name Shisheng, the unfilial son.
He stabbed the wooden sign in front of the grave with force. Shi Sheng couldn't help but kowtow to express his grief. In his palm, he held tightly the ring that had turned into a silver pimple. It was the only thing that could be used to commemorate his mother.
thing.
"What are your plans for the future?" Ling Ruo stepped forward and brushed away the grass ash and fine stones from Shi Sheng's forehead.
"I don't know." Shi Sheng replied in a low voice. His twenty years of life were suddenly overturned, making him full of confusion and helplessness. Then he held his head in pain and murmured: "Changxiang has been fine for so many years.
Yes, why did such a fire suddenly break out? Why!"
"I'm sorry." Ling Ruo couldn't remember how many times she had said sorry that day, but she knew that even if she said a thousand or ten thousand more, she could not make up for Shi Sheng's pain of losing his mother, not to mention that there were many more in the long alley.
A person who, like Shi Sheng, suffered from the loss of his family and home.
Shi Sheng stared at her for a long time. Suddenly, without knowing what he thought of, he grabbed Ling Ruo's shoulders and asked, "The fire was not an accident. Someone set it deliberately, right?" Without waiting for Ling Ruo's answer, he said again: "
I know it was the people who were chasing you who let me go, tell me who they are, tell me!"
Shi Sheng shook Ling Ruo vigorously, with a ferocious look on his face. His ten fingers tightly hugged Ling Ruo's shoulders like iron rods, embedded in his flesh. Ling Ruo could even feel that the flesh under his clothes was slowly becoming red and swollen. She didn't want to
He turned his head to avoid Shi Sheng's red eyes, "I don't know."
"You lied to me!" Shi Sheng growled, tightening his hands a little more, with madness in his eyes, "You know, you must know, tell me who it is! My mother can't die unjustly, I want to take her place.
She takes revenge!"
"Shi Sheng, please calm down and listen to me, okay?" His shoulder hurt as if it was about to burst, but what worried Ling Ruo even more was Shi Sheng's current appearance. Hatred made him go crazy as he was originally as pure as a child.
"I don't want to hear it, you just need to tell me who it is! Who it is!" Shi Sheng kept shouting, until he suddenly received a slap on the face. The pain made the madness in his eyes subside a little, but it was still red, and the inside of his nose was still red.
Breathing heavily.
Seeing his crazy look, Ling Ruo felt heartbroken. It was she who harmed the Shi family and the people in Changxiang. She may not be able to pay off this sin in her lifetime.
She took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "Even if I tell you the names of those people, what can you do to kill them? Shi Sheng, it's useless, you can't find them, and they are not something you can deal with.
of."
"I don't care!" Shi Sheng's face was bloodshot and he screamed: "I can't let my mother die in vain, even if it costs me my life, I must avenge her!"
"You are not seeking revenge, you are committing death! This is the most stupid behavior in the world!" Seeing that Shi Sheng refused to listen, Ling Ruo also felt a little angry. After scolding her, she calmed down and said, "You don't want you to
If your mother dies in vain, then are you willing to let your mother not rest in peace even under Jiuquan? Shisheng, I believe your mother’s greatest wish before she dies is that you can live in peace. If you live, she will live. If
You must take revenge, so make sure your life is safe first, otherwise it will be unfilial!"
