Shen Langgui

Chapter 102 Life and Death 2 Boundless, Nowhere Chapter Desolate②

In June, Jiangning was as hot as a steamer.In the afternoon, the sun is scorching and the vegetation is wilting.However, when Yinzhang came up to the mountain, what he saw was Shen Yue kneeling in front of the Spirit of Xunhe.

"Master Shen..."

Cheng Yin anticipated what Yinzhang would say next, and shook his head helplessly: "I've tried to persuade you, but it's useless." After a moment of silence, he sighed again, "I've been kneeling for half an hour."

Yinzhang was sold into Shen's residence when he was still in his hair. He knew very well the arrogance of the eldest son of Shen's residence. Even when Shen's residence was most difficult, he had never seen Shen Yue kneel down. But now... Yinzhang was worried, and walked carefully to Shen Yue. Beside him, persuaded: "Master Shen, don't blame yourself, it's your son's blessings, who didn't make it to your return..."

Sensing the movement, Shen Yue listened for a long while before realizing: "Introduction?"

"Yes, it's me, Master Shen." Unexpectedly, he got a response, Yin Zhang was filled with mixed feelings, ignoring his big belly, and knelt down beside Shen Yue with difficulty.

Shen Yue's head was turned around, but his eyes were still fixed on the tablet on the case, and he asked in a daze, "Why didn't you wait for me to come back before cremation?"

The sobbing was already clear in the voice of the introduction: "...it was the young master who confessed when he was awake. He said...he said that we must be cremated as soon as possible, and asked us to go to the mountains and scatter the bones in the wind. The young master said...while alive I have never been at ease, and when I die, I want to be the most free ghost, roaming freely in the mountains and forests, and seeing the lakes and seas." Yinzhang pointed to the round-bellied clay pot on the table, "There is a small setback here, because I am afraid... afraid of sinking. Grandpa is sad, so I left it for Grandpa Shen to think about..."

"Heh, even you know that I will be sad, but Ah Li... hey." Chewing on the words of Zhang Caicai, Shen Yue suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "You just said 'Ah Li will confess when he is awake', 'wake up' What do you mean? No, what happened to him in the end?"

"Not long after Master Shen left, Young Master's madness recurred, worse than before. Young Master asked for leave to recuperate, but the disease became more and more life-threatening. When it became severe, Young Master said... that his whole body hurts, like being divided into pieces by five horses... "

In the front yard, Hua Yin served light porridge, but was stopped by Cheng Yin.Hua Yin said worriedly: "You must have dismissed it casually early in the morning, now it's too late, no matter how you do it, you have to pad your stomach!"

"Master Shen is not in the mood." Cheng Yin said resolutely, "I can't eat it either. Let's put it away for now."

Unwilling to give up, Huayin called softly into the room: "Master Shen."

Shen Yue had no time to pay attention to it, and muttered to himself like self-deprecating: "Forget it, what position do I have to blame Ah Li for being cruel. I was careless, thinking that Ah Li would be fine in a short time. When he was the most ill, I actually Not here..." Shen Yue moved his knees, trying to get closer to Xunhe, but there were a few creaks under his knees, Shen Yue lowered his head, and found that it was the sound of pine nuts being crushed by himself. Pick up pine nuts.The introduction is unclear, so upon seeing it, she silently helped Shen Yue pick it up together, and Cheng Yin and Huayin immediately joined in.

Shen Yue didn't speak anymore, the room was silent, and when all the pine nuts were picked up, a pile was piled high on the small plate.Still kneeling, Shen Yue turned to the table and began to peel the fruits one by one.Others wanted to intervene, but were stopped by Shen Yue.

"Don't move. I'll come, let me..." This is the last thing I can do for Xun He.

This peeling, actually peeled to the mid-heaven of the moon.Putting the last smooth and white pine nut on the top of the mountain, Shen Yue seemed to have been pulled out of his muscles and bones. He was kneeling upright a moment ago, but he couldn't maintain it any longer, and fell backwards.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Cheng Yin supported Shen Yue, took advantage of the opportunity, moved to Shen Yue's legs, rubbed his knees for him, worried and advised: "Master Shen, if there is a spirit underground, my lord will definitely not want to see you sad."

Hua Yin also persuaded: "Yes, people are iron and rice is steel, Master Shen, at least eat some."

Shen Yue was dumbfounded, the food was brought to his mouth, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, and after a long time, he seemed to return to his body, and said to himself: "I want to go back to my room." When he tried hard, Shen Yue realized that his legs and feet were numb as if eaten by insects, broken Unable to stand up, fortunately Cheng Yin understood and carried Shen Yue on his back.

But when he entered the room, Shen Yue was stunned - the wardrobe, table, and even the drawers were pulled out, empty.

"This! What's the matter? Where's Ah Li's stuff?!" Shen Yue was furious, staggering down to look through the ground, regardless of the inconvenience of his legs and feet.

Yinzhang grabbed Shen Yue and explained with a crying voice: "In addition to Doctor Zhong, we actually found several powerful doctors later, but none of them were able to diagnose the cause of the young master. Once during the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the young master developed an illness. The doctor helped the doctor to conclude that the young master was not sick, but bewitched, and they all refunded the consultation money to save his life. The young master somehow found out about this, and invited witches to do it. Afterwards, the young master burned all his old things, saying it was true. To exorcise evil spirits, and ask us to burn the few clothes he changed after his death."

This time, Shen Yue was no longer in a daze before, the more he listened, the more he frowned, and after the introduction was finished, Shen Yuefu looked around the room suspiciously again.

"Bewitched?"

"Master Shen!"

"Uncle!"

It was Aunt Yin who rushed back with Chongyang.Chongyang's forehead was wrapped with a thick layer of gauze, and his usually bright eyes were swollen like peaches at this moment, Shen Yue asked: "What's wrong with Chongyang?"

Aunt Yin put down the child, and then replied: "On the day of Xiaoqiu's funeral, Chongyang lost his eyesight from crying and didn't pay attention for a while, and rolled down the mountain."

Before Xunhe was alive, he wished he could hold this child in his palm and love him, Shen Yue saw that people thought about others, so he hugged Chongyang and comforted him: "Does Chongyang still hurt?"

Chongyang shook his head: "It doesn't hurt on the body, but it hurts inside." The child's small slap was pressed against his heart, and he added, "I miss Uncle Qiu so much."

Shen Yue was stunned, and said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle understands, and uncle thinks too."

Shen Yue hadn't gotten rid of the numbness in his legs and feet, and after holding him for a while, he was obviously struggling. Aunt Yin hurriedly picked up the child, and comforted him: "Master Shen, my condolences have changed. You are well, and Xiaoqiu can rest assured that he is underground."

Looking at Aunt Yin, Shen Yue's mind flashed, and he asked: "The night before departure, did you want to tell me about Ah Li's illness?"

Aunt Yin opened her mouth, and finally changed her words: "Master Shen, people cannot be resurrected after death, so it's pointless to discuss these things."

"No! You were trying to remind me of something, weren't you?"

Aunt Yin nodded: "Yes, I thought at the time that the medicines used by Mrs. Zhong were very strange."

Shen Yue frowned and asked, "Why is it so strange?"

"There are porcini flowers in it. This flavor is not a medicine. It was originally used to relieve hangovers, but I looked through the medicinal residues and found that there were always porcini flowers in it. It was not easy to confront Dr. Zhong, so I checked it out privately and found... ..." Aunt Yin hesitated to speak.

"What did you find!" Shen Yue seemed impatient to prove something.

"I found that there are records saying that taking this medicine for a long time will damage the heart and lungs, and eventually fail and die."

Shen Yue recalled that day when Aunt Yin wanted to bring up this matter, Xun He suddenly appeared and intentionally distracted him; he also thought of Xun He who had always been reluctant to see a doctor, but this time he obediently cooperated with Dr. Zhong's treatment; The disease of being possessed by evil spirits that goes against common sense; and most importantly, before Xunhe died, he ordered Yinzhang to cremate the body as soon as possible and throw it in the mountains and forests...

Xun He must be hiding something.

All kinds of things, the more Shen Yue thought about it, the more afraid he became, and even shuddered, his eyes gradually gathered, and finally fell on the clay pot containing the bones on the Xunhe altar table.

"Master Shen?"

"Master Shen!"

"Master Shen, what is this?!!"

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Shen Yue suddenly rushed to the table with a sudden force, and lifted the pottery cover.Although it has been put aside for nearly ten days, the smell of over-burned charcoal is still coming out vigorously, and everyone can't help frowning, but Shen Yue is the only one who is unconscious and inspects the contents of the jar.

"Sure enough!" Shen Yue gritted his teeth and turned to Yin Zhang, "Are you sure this ashes belong to Shen Li?!"

Yan Ru happened to arrive and saw this scene. He hurriedly protected his wife behind him, and said in a panic, "Yinzhang has a body, and she has a strong aura in the transformation field, so I won't let her go. But Mr. Qiu, I saw it with my own eyes... I saw it with my own eyes." with the incinerated..."

Cheng Yin couldn't help but look around, and when he saw the situation inside the tank, he was also horrified—the bones were as black as charcoal.

This is a symptom of being poisoned to the bone.

Shen Yue didn't have the patience to listen to Yan Ru's words, and said, "Where is Doctor Zhong!"

"Physician Zhong felt deeply guilty for not being able to save the young master. After the young master left, he couldn't afford to be ill. He should be recuperating now..."

Doctor Zhong's hometown is in Jiangning, Shen Yue immediately issued an order, "Cheng Yin, let's go."

The candle shadow was still red, and an old man by the window lamented to the moon.All of a sudden, the branches and leaves in the courtyard were shaking, and the little boy who was standing beside him stepped forward to close the window sash, with a young but steady voice, reminding the old man: "Master, don't face the wind when you are sad, go in and lie down."

The old man shook his head and was about to push the little boy away when the door was slammed open: "Doctor Zhong!"

The old man got up, saw the person coming clearly, he seemed to have expected it, and greeted him: "Master Shen."

Shen Yue's armor was not gone, and with the menacing attack at this moment, it can be said that he was direct, only to hear him sternly ask: "Mr. Zhong, if you miss the old love, tell me the real cause of Ah Li's death."

Imperial Physician Zhong calmly dismissed the boy, "Go to the pharmacy and watch the fire." After the boy left, the old man asked, "Mr. Shen was young and unfortunately died. I am deeply guilty for not being able to bring him back to life. But as the saying goes Saying, "Wealth is in the sky, life and death are destiny", and I still hope that Master Shen..."

"Nonsense!" Shen Yue interrupted Imperial Physician Zhong, in extreme anger, regardless of the old man's age, he drew out his short sword and put the edge on the old man's neck: "If you don't tell the truth today, don't blame me for being rude."

The old man lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "In two days, I will be the old Mi Shou. I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have seen life and death in the world. Do you think I will spare my life?"

"Hehe." Shen Yue sneered, turned his palm over, and the edge of the sword was reversed, Cheng Yin opened his mouth wide in fright—Shen Yue actually touched the tip of the sword to his throat, "The Shen family owes you a mountain of gratitude, Mr. Zhong He doesn't spare his life, but he will always cherish the life of my Shen family's bloodline. Mr. Zhong, don't hide it, just nod your head and tell me, did Ah Li let you poison it."

Elder Zhong completely lost his composure just now, he waved his hands, and while hesitating, Shen Yue mercilessly pierced the sharp edge under the skin, blood drops fell to the ground with a sound.Elder Zhong fell to his knees and begged for mercy: "Master Shen, quickly put down the sword, I say! I will explain!"

Shen Yue drew out the tip of his sword.

"That's right, Mr. Shen indeed instructed me to poison you."

In order to keep eye level with Doctor Zhong, Shen Yue also knelt on the ground and asked, "When did he collude with you?"

"It's the day when Master Shen brought Young Master Shen back to Jiangning."

Looking back, Shen Yue suddenly remembered that Xun He acted like a baby that day, and wanted to go out to help Yinzhang clean up the broken dishes. Afterwards, Aunt Yin who was clearly discussing Xun He's condition with Doctor Zhong was also sent out, and only Xun He and Doctor Zhong.Shen Yue asked: "What did he tell you?"

Imperial Physician Zhong took out some plaster from his sleeve, dipped it in a handkerchief, put it on Shen Yue's bleeding mouth, and replied: "Young Master Shen sees that I don't want you to 'degenerate' and ruin your future After you went out, he told me that he had a way to make you come back to the shore. I asked what the method was. Mr. Shen said that only when he died, Mr. Shen would feel at ease. After that, Mr. Shen asked me to be in his medicine To administer chronic poison, he said that Master Shen has absolute trust in me and will never doubt my medication. Mr. Shen's original plan was to die gradually under Master Shen's nose."

Shen Yue's chest was already uncontrollably turbulent, but he still didn't let go of a single detail: "The original plan? Then what is the later plan?..."

Physician Zhong flinched and looked at Shen Yue twice.

Shen Yue was furious: "Say! There is a false word, and I will have a hard time for the rest of my life!"

"Mr. Shen was afraid that you would come back. Seeing that he was seriously ill, he resigned his official title again for the convenience of taking care of him. So when he heard that you returned safely, he... he took the arsenic."

Cheng Yin stared at his master intently, afraid that he would make another mistake on impulse.However, Shen Yue sneered after listening to the explanation of the imperial physician Zhong, but his eyes were filled with water, and big tears rolled down one after another. "So, those "evil" titles are all arranged by him?"

"This... this old man really doesn't know."

Yes or no, it doesn't matter.

Because Shen Yue already understood a lot.

Shen Yue suddenly understood, all the time, especially in the last few days, no matter how much he wanted to promise Xun He, why Xun He avoided talking about it, or changed the topic.

Shen Yue suddenly understood that on the day of departure, Xun He told Shen Yue repeatedly - eat well.

Shen Yue suddenly understood why Xun He had told Yin Zhang to throw all the ashes out before he died.

Shen Yue suddenly understood the song that Xun He was humming:

Were the clouds that day expected?

So the steps are light

so as not to disturb our time

because destined so little

But the price of this understanding is really too heavy.

With a bang, the dagger in Shen Yue's hand fell to the ground. Shen Yue couldn't hold it anymore, and fell down like an avalanche. Cheng Yin hurriedly supported him, and was about to get up on his back, but found that Shen Yue was muttering, Cheng Yin Close to his ear, he asked, "Master Shen, do you have an order?"

Shen Yue was like a shipwreck who saw Qian Fan passing by, still smiling, but the laughter was silent, it took a long time before Cheng Yin could hear clearly, Shen Yue was saying:

"Ah Li, you treat yourself like this, it makes me more sad than I can't accompany you to die of illness..."

"Qin Fen said, you only have a few months to live. But you don't even want to give me a few months..."

"I'm so sad..."
