Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 158

According to Su Jing's words, if you hurry up during the day today, you can enter the city earlier.It might be possible to stay in the inn in the second half of the night, so the coachman spared no effort to drive the carriage.When it was dark, he didn't stop to rest.

But Ye Song and Ye Qing didn't stop the carriage once.Seeing that they were fighting so hard, Su Jing seemed much more calm and calm in comparison.It will take less than three hours to enter the city. Su Jing thought about it and said: "I see you are in a hurry. When you get to the city, you can't enter because the city gate is closed."

Ye Qing innocently said: "You are a virtuous king, is there anything you can't do?"

Ye Song added: "No matter how bad it is, you will still climb over the wall."

Su Jing was speechless.

Seeing the outskirts of the city, the night is already very deep.When I was on the high ground just now, I could still see the faint lights in the city.Ye Qing is very excited, what she wants so much now is to have a comfortable bed to sleep in inn.

Just when the carriage was about to turn a corner, I didn't want to hear the crying of a child suddenly.It made this cool night suddenly a little gloomy.Ye Qing's hearing is not as sensitive as Ye Song and Su Jing's, at first he didn't hear it, but as the carriage went forward, the children's cries became louder, Ye Qing asked for no reason: "Did you hear someone crying? "

?At this moment the driver also stopped and said, "Master, there seems to be a child on the slope over there."

Su Jing lifted the curtain and looked around, there was indeed a slope not far away, the light was dim, and only the slope was vaguely uneven, and a child-like person was kneeling on the half slope, sobbing.Su Jing was always very vigilant when she got serious, and said: "Where is the good boy in the middle of the night, keep going."

Still have to beware of fraud.

But Ye Qing was dissatisfied, and said: "It doesn't matter if it's a good kid or a bad kid, it's still a kid. What if he gets lost, it's normal to cry there if he can't find his way home, anyway, we're going into town soon , why not take him with you."

Su Jing looked at Ye Qing with a half-smile, and asked playfully: "Does your second sister know that you are so nosy? Don't do bad things with good intentions."

Ye Qing glared at him and said: "People's hearts are fleshy, and Second Sister will definitely support me! Tsk tsk, I never thought you would be so hardworking and gentle with girls, yet you wouldn't even help a child."

Su Jing turned to look at Ye Song: "I'll listen to your second sister."

Ye Song looked back from the window, nonchalantly: "I listen to Ah Qing."

Su Jing: "...can you not get too used to her and listen to her everything?"

Ye Qing happily said: "I know you are jealous."

Ye Song jumped off the carriage first, and Su Jing had to follow behind.The coachman and Ye Qing wait here first.Outside the carriage, Su Jing brushed her hair around her neck, squinted her eyes and said, "Do you know where that is? Take a good look."

Ye Song took a closer look, and it seemed that the weeds on the hillside were overgrown and a little rough and barren, and there were sparse things like stones standing upside down, which were not clearly visible, only the square outlines could be vaguely discerned.Before Ye Song could say the answer, Su Jing told her, "That's a mass grave, baby."

That chilly tone came into Ye Qing's ears in the carriage, and Ye Qing scratched the window in horror: "The mass grave?! The child crying in the middle of the night in the mass grave...could it be...that, second sister, I It's better not to go...or, just listen to King Xian, let's go..."

The theory of ghosts and gods, if a little girl like Ye Qing thinks about it, I would rather believe it.She also read a lot of stories about children who died tragically and then cried out in the middle of the night, which was very scary.

But now that Ye Song has been aroused interest, there is no reason to let it go.Now it was Su Jing's turn to gloat, and said: "Look at you, you are the one who says it and you can't. Women are rarely as fickle as you."

Ye Qing glared again: "Thank you!"

So Ye Song just turned around and said to Ye Qing to let her stay in the carriage obediently, and then went to that hillside with Su Jing.Su Jing said that usually when someone dies in a small town and the family has no money to bury them, or if no family members claim them, they will be sent to a valley on the outskirts of the city for collective burial.

Ye Song said: "Then why is the mass grave a hillside?"

Su Jing said lazily while walking: "If there are too many people buried, the valley will become a hillside."

It sounds like a chill.

The closer they got, the more ferociously the children on the Banpo cried.The ground is full of weeds and uneven stone monuments, which are uneven when you step on them. As long as you look down, you can still see the appearance of bones.

The two stopped when they were a few feet away from the child, and saw that the child was crying out of breath while digging the ground with his hands. Half of his arm was exposed on the ground, not bones, but flesh and blood.

Now he understood without asking, who should be burying him on this ground.

Su Jing said slowly: "Did you dig him out because you want him to die in the countryside, and wait for the nearby wolves and leopards to come and gnaw him down to the bones?"

Only then did the child realize that there was someone behind him, turned his head to look tearfully, rubbed his arm against that arm in fear, and cried, "Don't catch me! I only want my mother! I only want my mother!"

Su Jing knelt down, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is she your mother? She is already dead, and she can't wake up even if you dig it out now. Do you think your mother can't rest in peace even if she dies?"

The child's hands were covered with mud, and he was crying sadly rubbing his eyes.Ye Song also asked, "Where's your father? We can send you back."

The child continued intermittently: "I don't know...I don't know...They left my mother here, I didn't see my father coming...Did my father not want me..."

Ye Song and Su Jing looked at each other.In the end, it was decided to take the child back to the city, and hand it over to the government if he could not find his family.

Su Jing said in a few words that she would take him to find his father and come back to bury his mother properly. He then buried the dug-up soil back and buried his mother tightly, as if a wolf would come and snatch his mother away.He kowtowed a few times in front of the dirt bag, then got up and obediently followed Su Jing away.It seems that Su Jing's suggestion is very convincing.

Back at the place where the carriage stopped, Ye Qing timidly looked at the shabby kid who was so dirty that he couldn't see his true face, swallowed, and asked, "Second, Second Sister, is he human?"

Ye Song said: "He has a shadow, so he can't be a ghost."

Ye Qing looked at the dim brilliance of the glazed lamp, there was indeed a small shadow of the child, so he was relieved.

The child looked like five or six years old, timid and timid, and he would twitch and sniff his nose after getting into the carriage. He looked really pitiful.Ye Qing was soft-hearted, so he kept asking his family members incessantly along the way, but he didn't know anything about it, he only said that his surname was Xie, his voice was soft, and his baby name was Xie Xiaobao.

It seemed that he was frightened, but when Ye Qing wanted to continue asking, Xie Xiaobao burst into tears and said: "I can't tell you, they said that as long as I dare to say who my parents are, they will I'm going to kill my parents! I don't have my mother, I can't live without my father and grandma!"

Ye Song frowned: "They? Who are they?"

Xiaobao cried: "I don't know anything..."

Finally arrived at the city gate, the city gate was closed tightly as Su Jing said.The mood that should have been joyful turned a little strange because he picked up a child from a mass grave on the way.

At this time, there were no soldiers opening the gate below the city, only soldiers on the tower were on duty all night.When they saw a carriage, they wouldn't bother, they just thought they were going to enter the city, and they would let them through when the city gate opened tomorrow morning.

The coachman asked, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Su Jing walked down leisurely, walked to the downstairs of the city gate, raised her hand, grasped the heavy iron ring on the city gate and knocked on the door, which made a loud bang and bang sound.

This action really disturbed the guards above. The guards were furious and shouted: "Bold and unreasonable, the gate of the city is closed, and we have to enter the city until tomorrow morning! Leave quickly!"

Su Jing raised her head and responded with a relaxed smile: "I have to go to the city immediately if I have something important to do, and I hope the official will make it easier for me."

The guard was annoyed by him, so he couldn't sleep anymore, and now he cursed upstairs: "Do you think this city gate can be entered and exited whenever you want at twelve hours a day? It's not your family who repaired it! If you say that, get the hell out of here, or I will be rude, believe it or not, I will shoot you to death with one arrow!" As he said, he took out a pair of bows and arrows.

As a result, Ye Qing looked at it and shook his head again and again: "Why is the arrow so bad, and the bow is not strong enough. From the tower to Su Jing's place, the depth is not even an inch. Plus Su Jing's clothes are made of good material, at most half an inch."

Xie Xiaobao finally stopped crying, looked at Ye Qing and said: "Although I don't know what you are talking about, sister, it sounds very powerful."

Ye Song said with a faint smile, "Since you don't know what my sister is talking about, how do you know that she is very powerful?"

Being praised by a child in an adoring tone, Ye Qing still felt very elated.

Xie Xiaobao said: "Because my sister looks very confident! The master said that a confident person is the most attractive!"

Ye Qing said happily: "Your master is really knowledgeable."

Su Jing outside did not walk away, the guards above really started to draw their bows.At this time, he slowly took out a golden fold from his arms and shook his arms. The guard immediately loosened the bow when he saw it, and Su Jing said with a smile: "Please read this before you do it!" Make up your mind, okay?"

As a result, the guards on the city tower couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while, so they immediately decided to go downstairs, opened the city gate, and checked the thing Su Jing gave.He opened it for a glance, then closed it again as if his eyes were cramping, handed it back to Su Jing respectfully, and welcomed Su Jing and the carriage into the city.

The carriage swayed on the lonely and deserted street, they decided to stay in an inn first, and then find Xie Xiaobao's family tomorrow.Ye Song gave Su Jing a sideways look, and said with a half-smile, "Such a dick? What is it, let me have a look."
