There was no sound of deer roaring in the living room of Minglu Villa, only deathly silence. I was already tense at first, but now I don't even dare to let out a fart.
"Sister Cheng Yan, let's leave here. It's not good here and it's not good for the baby." Yan Yu covered his eyes and said to Cheng Yan.
"Okay, I'll take you out of here." Cheng Yan hugged Yan Yu's shoulders and said to Lu Yi, "I'm leaving first."
Lu nodded and watched the two of them leave, but he was a little confused. Their relationship was so good? Could it be that the friend Chen Mo mentioned before was true?
"Are you done talking about your business?" Chen Mo wiped his knife blade on the corpse and went to a chair to sit down.
Wu Tianling had a gloomy face, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. At this time, his daughter came over, took his arm, and whispered: "Dad, let's go back."
Wu Xiaoyu actually didn't want to come here. When she first reported the news, she was just remembering that they had fallen in love with each other. Although she was forced to come here by her father today, and she was a little reluctant, she still looked forward to him in her heart and still loved herself. But.
The fact is, if you miss it, you miss it.
"Lu Yi, you will regret what happened today." Wu Tianling said a harsh word to restore the situation, and left with his people.
It can be said that the people of Wushui Villa came here in good spirits and returned in disillusionment.
After the guests left, a servant quickly brought water to scrub the red floor. A maid also brought a cup of hot tea to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took the piece of cloth and rewrapped his broken blade, and said slowly: "Don't be surprised if Zhuangzi saw the red before it was completed."
Lu Yi also sat down again and said: "You didn't come back just to say this, right? You appear here so openly, but there are people from Lu Jun here."
"I am not a fugitive or a remnant of Black Tiger Mountain. Even if he comes, he can't do anything to me." Chen Mo did not drink his tea, wrapped the blade and put it back on his waist.
"I didn't want to come here. I heard that the villa belongs to you, so I came here. I didn't come to congratulate you, I just wanted to ask some questions."
"Okay, I can tell you everything I know." Lu Yi also said happily.
.......
Cheng Yan brought Yan Yu to her room. Although they had not known each other for a short time in Black Tiger Mountain, they got along well with each other, and a series of events later made their relationship even better.
The room was filled with the fragrance that women like, and there were more women's accessories. Only a unique bow was polished and placed on the shelf.
There were attractively colored snacks on the low table, and the two women were sitting at the table.
"Yan Yu, try it. I made it myself and see how it tastes." Cheng Yan pushed the snack in front of Yan Yu and started to make tea.
"Has sister started making these things now?" Yan Yu took a piece of plum blossom-shaped pastry and put it into his little mouth and chewed it carefully. "It's delicious."
"You have learned to lie too." Cheng Yan glanced at her.
"What I said is true, anything cooked by my sister is delicious." Yan Yu said sweetly.
"Sister, whose child is this in your belly? Could it be that Lu Yi's?"
Cheng Yan could tell from Yan Yu's tone that she didn't like Lu Yi, but the child in her belly was indeed Lu Yi's.
"It's his, he is my husband now."
"Sister, why did you marry such a person?!" Yan Yu looked like he felt unworthy of Cheng Yan marrying the wrong person.
"Oh, tell me what kind of person he is?" Cheng Yan brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for Yan Yu, put it in front of her, and said in a soft tone, standing as a mother, she didn't
He lost his violent temper back then.
"He is, he is that kind of..." Suddenly Yan Yu was at a loss for words. Could it be that he colluded with the government to kill Thirteenth Niang? But Thirteenth Niang is a bandit. In the eyes of the world, he is a bad person, and the government is the one.
A good guy, does Lu Yi have to be a bad guy because he colluded with the government?
"Yan Yu, he may be an annoying person to you, or to you and Chen Mo, but to me, the fact that he is someone worthy of trust is enough."
"Perhaps Thirteenth Niang's death had something to do with him, but in fact, with or without him, Lu Jun would have killed Thirteenth Niang. The addition of Lu Yi would only make the banditry in Black Tiger Mountain collapse faster."
"Perhaps you are still worried about the destruction of the mountain stronghold, but the people outside are applauding, especially those caravans passing through Black Tiger Mountain. They are the group of people who most hope that the bandits here will disappear. Are they wrong?"
"Or do you think the people are wrong and the government is wrong?"
"Yan Yu, you are very smart, just because you are so smart that you don't know who is right and who is wrong after you get stuck in it."
"Is it your fault that you are too smart?"
"No, no, you are a person and you have feelings."
"Yan Yu, this world is not black and white, and people are not simply good or bad."
Cheng Yan spoke slowly, using the path she had taken to guide Yan Yu. She was not asking Yan Yu to follow his own path, but just letting her know more things.
"Chen Mo seems to have said something similar." Yan Yu said expressionlessly.
"Come on, don't think so much. My sister won't dislike him just because you don't like him." Cheng Yan pinched her delicate nose.
Yan Yu immediately threw away all his previous worries and said with a grimace, "I won't dislike my sister just because she likes him."
"That's enough." Cheng Yan sat back down and said, "Are you going to see Thirteen Niangs?"
Yan Yu nodded: "After seeing Thirteenth Mother, Chen Mo and I are going to a place far, far away."
"Go ahead. I'll be watching over Thirteenth Mother. No one will disturb her."
While the two women were talking, Chen Mo had already arrived at Cheng Yan's door and knocked on the unlocked door.
"Come in."
Chen Mo walked in and sat at the table. Cheng Yan also gave him a cup of tea.
"Replace wine with tea to thank Chen Shaoxia for not killing him." Cheng Yan toasted Chen Mo with a joking smile.
Chen Mo drank tea and said: "I didn't plan to do anything to him, I just asked some questions."
"So are you planning to leave?"
Chen Mo nodded.
"You really don't want to eat before leaving?"
Chen Mo took the snacks on the table, ate two, and said, "I've eaten it, it's delicious."
Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "You two are really...hahahaha~"
Cheng Yan didn't finish her words and sent these two interesting guys away with laughter.
.......
Chen Mo and Yan Yu once again set foot on the Black Tiger Village, which was already very dilapidated. Things had been turned over and over again, and not even three feet but two feet of ground had been dug. Everything in the past was just like the smoke of the past.
I walked past the school grounds where lively bonfire parties were held, passed the house where I once lived, and followed the winding path to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was already overgrown with weeds, and traces of animals could still be seen.
Yan Yu quickly found the place where Thirteen Niang was buried. There was no bulge of earth or tombstone there. Yan Yu only found a shallow mark that was about to disappear and was sure.
"Is it here?" Chen Mo asked.
"Yes, I won't remember it wrong." Yan Yu nodded firmly. This was the third person she had buried with her own hands. She remembered it very clearly.
"Let's set up a sign for Thirteenth Niang," Chen Mo said.
"Is that okay?" Yan Yu looked at Chen Mo.
"Okay, no one will disturb her rest." Chen Mo looked at the land in front of him and seemed to be able to sleep on the thirteenth mother lying here so peacefully.
"You go ahead and I'll clean up the surrounding area."
"Um."
The tall miscanthus was quickly cleaned up by Chen Mo, but everyone knows that it will grow again in the next year. It won't be long before the miscanthus here will grow again, but the people lying here will lie there forever.
Chen Mo also knocked down the crumbling watchtower. Thirteenth Niang no longer needed it to stand guard for the village. Chen Mo did this just to turn this place into an ordinary hilltop as quickly as possible, like other hills here.
Nothing special.
The sign that Yan Yu buried before rotted away, so Chen Mo helped her get a new one. Yan Yu also used the pen and ink he brought to write on it in solemn and solemn characters: Tomb of the Thirteenth Mother of the Jia family.
Burning incense and paper, nothing left. There was a grave head instead of a tomb head. This place became a real tomb, and Thirteenth Mother also had a complete home, although it was a bit simple.
Chen Mo and Yan Yu both kowtowed to Thirteenth Niang a few times. Chen Mo thanked Thirteenth Niang for taking care of them during the years in Black Tiger Mountain, so that Chen Mo would not die there when he traveled north. Yan Yu
Yu really regarded Thirteenth Niang as her godmother, which is why she hated those people who, although they represented justice, killed Thirteenth Niang who represented evil.
The two of them did not leave here, but sat down to keep company with the sleeping man, because they knew that the next time they would come here would be a long time later.
Yan Yu was talking about his life after leaving here, and what Chen Mo did after he was caught. Even if he didn't get any answers, Yan Yu couldn't stop talking.
Chen Mo was drinking alone on the side, being a quiet observer.
Unconsciously, the sun set in the sky, and it was time to say goodbye. The two of them kowtowed three times to the monument again, packed their things, and slowly went down the mountain.
...
The two of them arrived at the small village where they had escaped from Black Tiger Mountain. It was late at night and the people in the village were almost asleep.
"Those people are asleep. We'd better look for them tomorrow morning." Yan Yu sat on the horse and looked at the village not far away. There were still some people who had escaped from Black Tiger Mountain, some women and children.
I still have some final things to do when I come here. Once the things here are done, there will be nothing left to do.
"Okay, let's just stay nearby for the night." Chen Mo led the horse and turned around to leave.
