Chapter 633: Dead people cannot be resurrected
Outside the camp, it was drizzling.
Mrs. Zhou stood at the door for a long time, looking in a certain direction with a worried expression.
Xiong Jiushan checked around and made sure that all parties were coming to say a few words to Mrs. Xie. When he walked to the Xie family tent, he saw Mrs. Zhou standing outside wrapped in thick clothes and couldn't help but stop.
Follow her line of sight and look behind you.
It was clear in his eyes.
Xiong Jiushan looked back and said in a concerned voice: "Madam, are you worried about General Xie?"
When the eldest lady Zhou saw Xiong Jiushan, she bowed slightly and said, "The sinful woman has seen Lord Xiong."
“The madam can’t do anything about it!”
Xiong Jiushan quickly turned sideways to let Mrs. Zhou, the eldest lady of the Xie family, receive the gift.
"Thank you, General, for your life-saving grace. How could I accept such a great gift from you? If it were in front of outsiders, Jiushan would have to accept it. There are not many people in this private room. The eldest lady does not need to do this. She regards Jiushan as a junior." Yes.”
Mrs. Zhou raised her head and said, "My lord, this is not appropriate. The whole Xie family does not want to embarrass you all the way."
Xiong Jiushan smiled and said, "It's okay. Madam, you don't need to worry too much in the future. Just have a safe trip to the North."
Mrs. Zhou understood and nodded slightly.
Xiong Jiushan recalled her worried look just now, thought for a moment, and said, "Madam, there is no need to worry. General Xie has his own rules for doing things. What's more, the bandits have been eliminated, so there is nothing to be afraid of. The general will come back after he is done."
The eldest lady Zhou nodded, "I accept your good wishes."
"I wonder if the old lady can talk easily now?" Xiong Jiushan asked.
Mrs. Zhou nodded and pulled up the curtain for him, "Mother-in-law is awake. Sir, please come!"
When saying this, Ms. Zhou slightly raised her voice so that the family members inside could hear her.
In fact, the two of them were whispering outside the door, and the people inside had already heard the sound, but Zhou seemed more solemn when he said it.
Xiong Jiushan smiled and cupped his fists slightly to express his gratitude.
His head sank slightly, and he walked forward with a short stature.
Mrs. Zhou lowered the curtain and wanted to follow, but hesitated for a moment, but nothing changed. She still stood outside the tent and stared into the distance.
Soon, someone pushed the curtain out from inside.
"Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Zhou looked sideways and saw that it was Mrs. Zhang, the second younger sibling.
She turned around harder and said, "Why don't you rest inside? It's cold outside, don't get too cold."
Zhang Fuqing gathered up her cotton-padded clothes, leaned over with a smile, leaned against Zhou, and said, "Come out for some air, I'll accompany you! Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Zhou looked at her, her jade-white face seemed to still have the elegance of the day she first entered the palace. The usually strong-tempered person suddenly became tender and testing the waters. It must be said that the impact was not small.
Zhou lowered her head and saw Zhang's hand, her eyebrows suddenly softened, she reached out and patted the hand on her arm, "It's cold outside, your hands are also very cold, why didn't you come out with gloves?"
"Ah, I forgot." Mrs. Zhang said with a crooked smile.
Zhou was helpless.
Fortunately, the two of them were next to the tent, and there were various tents all around, so it was actually not as difficult as sleeping in the open air day and night before.
The drizzle was drizzling, and even though the season was wrong, it seemed a little strange. But for the Xie family, even more unbelievable things have become accustomed to it.
It's just raining in winter, so it doesn't seem that unexpected.
Along the way, there were few times when we were so calm and not nervous.
Especially after the nerves have been tense for a long time, they suddenly relax.
Just standing here, leaning against each other and watching the rain, we all feel that happiness in the world is nothing more than this.
Madam Zhang held her eldest sister-in-law, Madam Zhou, on her arm, and the two of them enjoyed the rain silently.
Zhou's heart was originally filled with worries. She was nervous that something would happen to her son Xie Yuchuan. Why didn't she come back for so long?
But somehow, after her younger brother and sister Zhang came out to keep her company, the anxiety in her heart seemed to gradually disappear.
It's nice to have family for company.
There was a low conversation coming from the tent behind them. The two of them stood outside, but they couldn't hear it clearly. Mrs. Zhang leaned against her eldest sister-in-law, tugged on the brim of her warm hat, and suddenly stretched out her hand to catch the raindrops that fell that day.
The drizzle is like cotton, dripping on the palms and wrists, making it tickle.
"Isn't it cold?"
It was rare for Mr. Zhou to see her playful, so she couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang tilted his head and leaned gently on her shoulder, staring at the small dimple that slowly accumulated on his palm.
“Not cold, very comfortable.”
Zhou looked at her outstretched hand and didn't know whether the comfortable thing she said was referring to the weather or something else.
But she didn't ask either.
The two stood side by side.
Mrs. Zhang suddenly murmured: "Sister-in-law?"
"Huh?"
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Zhou responded.
"Sister-in-law, I think my life is pretty good."
Zhou's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at her, but he could only see her long curled eyelashes. He couldn't see clearly Zhang's face at the moment, let alone the expression on which she said this sentence. talk.
Mrs. Zhou pondered for a moment and whispered softly: "Why do you say that suddenly?"
"I don't know, I just suddenly felt that my life, Zhang Fuqing, was actually very good. Although there were many difficulties in the past, I was born into a wealthy family and did not starve to death. When I grew up, I married a good man, the Xie family. Everyone treats me kindly, and now I can advance and retreat together with my family." Mrs. Zhang suddenly raised her head from Mrs. Zhou's shoulders, looked at her eldest sister-in-law with a pair of clear eyes, and said, "Actually, my life is really good."
Zhou stretched out his hand and gently took her arm.
"Well, as long as you feel comfortable. After all these years, the Xie family owes you a lot."
Zhang leaned back again and said nothing.
After being silent for a while, Mrs. Zhou heard her say calmly: "Sister-in-law, the Xie family doesn't owe me anything. It's me who got through it myself."
Zhou hugged her hard and let go.
"So, are you thinking about it now?"
"No."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this unexpected reply, she couldn't help laughing, "Well, after you said it, I thought you were overthinking it."
Zhang's nasal voice is a bit thick: "I only want to open half of it."
"Oh? Which half."
Now, Mrs. Zhou was curious. In the past, even when Mrs. Xie cared about her, the second sibling always seemed to be resisting. But now she silently said that she had half thought about it?
Zhou couldn't help but wonder what the half she wanted to open meant.
I don't know whether Ms. Zhang had bad intentions or didn't want to ruin the comfortable atmosphere at the moment. Ms. Zhou didn't change anything. She just stared at the rain falling from the sky, thought for a while and spoke.
"Sister-in-law, do you think that when we get to Liaozhou, can I go to Yuchuan and ask him for a favor?"
Ms. Zhou didn't understand: "What are you asking for help from? My sister-in-law can also help you."
Zhang: "Please help me in Yuchuan to communicate with the gods."
Spirituality?
Zhou became a little curious now and asked her: "What do you want Xie Yuchuan to ask for from your family god?"
Zhang was silent for a while.
Zhou didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly frowned. She was afraid that Zhang's heart would be disturbed for some reason, and that she would still be trapped in a cocoon, so she carefully advised:
"Fuqing, in this world, people cannot be resurrected after death. Even gods may not be able to do it. Don't you..."
"No, sister-in-law." Mrs. Zhang interrupted her.
"That is?"
"I want to ask the family god to give me a child, who will be named in my husband's name."
