Chapter 89 A foxy girl fell from the sky?
As Jiang Shouzhong expected, Zhang’s mother could not breathe her last breath and passed away early the next morning. She held the hands of her son and daughter-in-law and closed her eyes forever.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the filial son Lao Zhang.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he watched his mother, who had been with him for many years, turn into a corpse. He could no longer feel the warmth of his body or hear the familiar warm voice. This body shape The mighty man cried like a child, which was pitiful.
Jiang Shouzhong, Lu Renjia and several old acquaintances of Lao Zhang from the county government all came to help with the funeral.
Li Nanshuang, who originally planned to steal the treasure for Jiang Shouzhong, also rushed back to help. He specially spent money to go to the most famous coffin shop in the capital and customized a pair of nanmu coffins made of excellent material.
The girl who had had a few meals with Zhang's mother looked at the old man in the coffin, her eyes were red, and she felt sad from the bottom of her heart.
Finally, I didn’t know who I thought of, so I hugged Jiang Shouzhong’s arm and cried.
After a few days of the funeral, Zhang Yunwu lost a lot of weight. Perhaps because of his busy schedule, he showed much less grief and more numbness.
However, the sadness of the death of a loved one is more about the heartbreaking pain when looking back at an empty room and not seeing familiar people.
Li Nanshuang asked a Feng Shui master to see the burial place.
After the funeral, everything returned to normal.
The originally lively old Zhang Family Courtyard has returned to its former deserted state, but with some desolation added to the deserted state.
That night, Zhang Yunwu, who usually had a fair amount of alcohol, got extremely drunk.
Lu Renjia, who was drinking with him, was also lying on the ground, hugging the bench and talking nonsense. Sometimes he cried, sometimes he shouted at the top of his voice, and after a while he shouted that he was going to Chunyu Tower to carry a sedan chair to marry a young lady.
Jiang Shouzhong and Wen Zhaodi put the two of them on the bed with great effort, then sat tacitly under the eaves, looking at the night sky.
After several days of hard work, the woman became much thinner and more haggard.
She straightened her hair that was messed up by the night wind and asked softly: "Brother Jiang, do you think my mother-in-law will be reincarnated into a rich family in her next life? After working hard all her life, she can't be tired again in her next life, right? .”
“Yes.”
Jiang Shouzhong nodded.
Wen Zhaodi wiped the tears from her eyes, "I remember when Brother Wu took me to meet my mother-in-law for the first time, my mother-in-law gave me her treasured silver hairpin and said that it was his blessing that Brother Wu could marry me in this life."
"Well, you're fine."
Jiang Shouzhong glanced at the old woman under the eaves of the corridor.
The old man sat quietly on the rattan chair made by Zhang Yunwu himself, with a peaceful expression.
"But I know that you think I am not worthy of Brother Wu. In fact, you have always hated me." Wen Zhaodi stared at the other party with tearful eyes, "You think I am very scheming, and marrying Brother Wu is just a matter of course. Because of my daughter.”
Jiang Shouzhong did not deny it, but turned to look at the woman, "What were you thinking when Lao Zhang swung the ax at you that day?"
"I hope he doesn't hurt Yue'er."
"Then do you hate him?"
"..."
The woman fell into a long silence.
After a long while, she said quietly: "You know, little brother Jiang, Brother Wu has never bought me a box of rouge since we got married."
Jiang Shouzhong raised his eyebrows.
Wen Zhaodi stroked her skirt and whispered: "But Brother Wu would get up in the middle of the night to cover Xiao Yue'er with the quilt, for fear that she would catch a cold. When eating, he would leave good food and meat for We are mother and daughter. He used to like drinking. He knew that I didn't like the taste of alcohol, so he restrained himself. He would only drink a little when socializing.
He used to snore when he was sleeping, so he used it when he knew it was disturbing me. He glued some carpenter's paste to his mouth, and as a result he couldn't sleep well. One morning he almost couldn't tell her apart and made a joke.
He didn't know how to coax a woman, and he was really bored and boring. , and I can’t say anything about love, but he is very, very good..."
Wen Zhaodi burst into tears, "Brother Jiang, you think I'm not good enough for Brother Wu. In fact, I think so too. I'm not afraid to tell you that my mother-in-law passed away, but I'm actually a little happy because she will no longer be a drag on Brother Wu." .
In this way, I can save more money, and in the future Brother Wu can marry a good girl from an innocent family, instead of marrying a widow and letting others judge me, I will continue to be my concubine. Anyway, I am used to being a concubine, and I have experience, right?”
At this point, Wen Zhaodi laughed, but it became more sad. "If Brother Wu doesn't want me anymore, I will leave. At worst, I will have to raise my daughter alone."
She sighed, stood up and said, "Brother Jiang, Brother Wu is really lucky to have you. ”
The woman entered the house.
Under the eaves, only Jiang Shouzhong and the old woman sat silently.
Jiang Shouzhong raised his thumb and said, "Auntie, I really admire your vision now. You have found a good daughter-in-law for Lao Zhang. I was the one who looked down on you before. Don't worry, I will take good care of you in the future. They are a family. "
The old woman has kind eyes, a faint glow all over her body, and a gentle smile on her lips.
She came to Jiang Shouzhong and gently touched the man's head.
Although the yin and yang were separated and unable to touch, Jiang Shouzhong felt a kind warmth.
"Silly boy, you have lost a lot of weight. You need to eat more meat. From now on, my aunt can no longer cook for you. You can come home to eat without worry. Xiao Wu and Zhao Di won't find it troublesome."
“Yeah.”
Jiang Shouzhong buried his head, his eyes a little blurry.
The full moon shines brightly, the ground is covered with silver frost, and the jagged treetops sway gently with the wind, blowing a string of broken wind chimes hanging above...
Jingling sound In the middle, Jiang Shouzhong was the only one left under the eaves.
The dead are gone, but the living are still there.
......
Time passed quietly, and another two days passed.
Mr. Yan, who took Feng Yichen to Zhenxuan Mountain, has not come back yet, and Jiang Shouzhong's Earth Taoist body has successfully entered the third realm of martial arts, officially starting the path to martial arts.
Without meditating, standing, and practicing luck methods to open acupoints, it is undoubtedly terrifying to go from an ordinary person to the realm of a martial artist that many people dream of.
However, for Jiang Shouzhong, who has experienced the "Water Moon Dream Mirror" reward, the joy of Daomen River Picture is much lighter.
Now Jiang Shouzhong is encountering a difficult decision.
The fire body is the realm of the master, and the earth body is the realm of the martial artist. The other three bodies have not yet begun to open the acupoints.
Should we open the acupoints of the other three bodies first? , it is better to continue to consolidate the earth body, or to improve the cultivation of the fire body. Of course, after reaching the master level, the speed of opening acupoints will definitely be much slower.
After long thought, Jiang Shouzhong decided to continue to consolidate the earth Taoist body.
He trusts his own judgment.
The earth contains the four elements. As long as the foundation is tamped firmly, the effect of practicing other Taoisms in the future will definitely be much better.
But the most important thing right now is to find a martial skill.
Qinggong secret book "Chasing the Wind Step" Jiang Shouzhong practiced for a few days in his spare time, and barely reached the second level. He was able to jump up a three-meter-high wall, and his body was obviously much lighter when running
According to the records in the book, you can ride the wind when you reach the sixth level.
But after all, Qinggong is only an auxiliary, and swordsmanship, boxing, swordsmanship and so on are the top priority.
Jiang Shouzhong thought of the Qiuye girl and Li Nanshuang once said that there were many martial arts treasures hidden in the Silver Moon Tower, so he decided to go to the Silver Moon Tower to try his luck after breakfast. At any rate, it was a life-saving grace, and the other party wouldn't be too picky. I had just cooked some rice porridge and before I started cooking it, Lu Renjia came running over.
"Xiao Jiang still loves me. I knew that Master A was coming, so I prepared breakfast in advance." Master A shrugged his nose, which was red from the cold, and handed over the food he bought. Sweet potatoes are placed on the table.
Jiang Shouzhong took out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks and said, "I was drunk again at Lao Zhang's house last night. I guess I vomited all over the floor like last time."
Lu Renjia's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Master A, am I that kind of person? I went back after I sobered up last night. Although I, Master A, am not a good drinker, my wine is still trustworthy. How could I disturb the couple?" ."
Jiang Shouzhong looked like he doesn't believe you.
“I’m just drinking with my brothers. Xiao Jiang, you are also serious. If you don’t tell me about such a big thing, and you don’t call me to catch monsters, you are really not enough of a brother. I am very fond of you. Disappointed."
Lu Renjia muttered with resentment.
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said: "The boss said that you are our biggest trump card in Fenglei Hall, so I won't trouble you for this little thing."
"Come on, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Lu Renjia rolled his eyes, picked up the bowl and filled himself with rice porridge.
Looking at Master Jia's resentful expression, Jiang Shouchang felt a trace of apology in his heart, realizing that what he did was inappropriate.
He just felt that the other party couldn't help him much, so he didn't call him.
Now that I think about it, whether I can help is one thing, but whether or not I can help is another. Whether it's a brother or a friend, it's very heartbreaking.
"It's my fault. I happened to have some spare money, so I invited you to go to Chunyu Tower for a drink when you were free?"
Jiang Shouzhong apologized sincerely.
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Master Jia's face turned into a chrysanthemum with anger, waving his hands and saying: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, our friendship is nothing. Then it's agreed, I must give it to Qing Niang." Take care of the business."
"Just lick it hard," Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile.
The two of them served rice porridge and ate the sweet potatoes in silence. The breakfast was simple but comfortable.
During this period, Lu Renjia hesitated several times, but finally said: "Xiao Jiang, don't blame Master A for meddling in my own business. I can actually see that you don't like Wen Zhaodi very much. My sister-in-law is not a bad person, she just wants to Too much. Maybe the relationship would be better for the couple if such an incident happened.
I don’t have any great powers of observing people, but I have been thinking about it for more than thirty years. Make some sense. Woman, it’s that vast sea of water, what do you think...”
“Okay, okay.”
Jiang Shouzhong quickly raised his hand to stop, saying with a headache, “I’m the worst. What’s bothering me is listening to you talk nonsense. I don’t have any objections to Wen Zhaodi now. I think it’s a blessing for Lao Zhang to marry her. Don’t think too much about it.”
“Really?”
Lu Renjia tried his best to look at the other person's expression and make sure that Jiang Shouzhong did not say anything against his will. The gloom in his heart was swept away, and his smile became much brighter.
"Excuse me, is this Lord Jiang Mojiang's home?"
At this moment, a soft and light female voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Jiang Shouzhong and Lu Renjia looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
Just as Jiang Shouzhong was about to get up and open the door, Lu Renjia raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth and said, "I'll do it."
Opening the door, there was a slim young woman standing outside.
The woman has a charming appearance, a face the size of a palm, a graceful figure, and is wearing a high-grade fox fur.
At first glance, it looks like a beautiful vixen.
Master Jia, who had seen many beauties in the capital, was also stunned at this moment.
“Shi’er has met Mr. Lu.”
The young woman was not annoyed by Lu Renjia's infatuation, and bowed her knees slightly, feeling relieved.
Lu Renjia came back to his senses and stammered: "You...are you?"
"Is it you?"
Jiang Shouzhong came to the door with a surprised look on his face .
The charming woman named Shi'er looked happy when she saw Jiang Shouzhong, then her face turned slightly red, and she stepped forward to salute, "Shi'er has met Mr. Jiang, and I came here specifically to thank Mr. Jiang for visiting Huailan Lake that day. A life-saving grace.”
Lu Renjia finally realized, "It turns out to be you."
The woman in front of them was the woman who fell into the water and rescued them from the monster a month ago.
It was late at night, and after the woman was rescued, she was escorted away by the officials who arrived without seeing her face clearly. Seeing how beautiful the rescued woman was at this time, Master Jia couldn't help but regret that he had hesitated to go into the water.
This wave is really a big loss.
The woman's sudden visit surprised Jiang Shouzhong, especially considering the recent cases, he couldn't help but feel vigilant.
Although he was wary in his heart, Jiang Shouzhong's expression did not show any abnormality, and he said politely: "As public servants, it is our duty to save people. Miss Shi'er does not need to be so concerned."
Shi'er The girl smiled and apologized:
"Actually, Shi'er should have come to thank you earlier. It's just that Shi'er was too weak, and it took several days to recover after being infected with the wind and cold. Later, she was troubled by some things. The delay made me late today."
As she spoke, the charming woman took out a precious sandalwood rectangular box, bit her thin lips, lowered her head and said softly:
"Shi'er is a noble servant of the Western Chu Palace. Although he lives in a land of fireworks, he keeps himself clean and has never done anything to insult his moral integrity. If the young master does not despise Shi'er as a vulgar person, Shi'er will be willing to spend his whole life I will serve the young master all my life and repay him for saving my life.”
As soon as these words came out, the two grown men were completely stunned.
What is going on?
A charming wife fell from the sky?
The corner of Lu Renjia's mouth twitched a few times, "Miss Shi'er, just because he saved you, do you want to commit yourself to him?"
The girl was shy and reserved, with watery almond eyes. Glancing at Jiang Shouzhong's handsome face, he whispered, "Master Jiang risked his life to save Shi'er, and Shi'er should repay him with his own life."
"But...but..."
Lu Renjia clenched his fists and said angrily, "I was the first to notice that you fell into the water, and I also had a life-saving grace for you."
Shi'er looked at Lu Renjia's dark, shoehorned face, and then at Jiang Shouzhong's handsome and chiseled features, and bit her red lips lightly with her little braided teeth.
She bowed to Lu Renjia and saluted, lowered her eyes and said gratefully:
"Master Lu's life-saving grace to the little girl, the little girl will naturally not forget it, and she will definitely repay you by working as a cow or a horse in the next life. . But..."
She turned to Jiang Shouzhong, her eyes filled with a girl's emotional shyness.
“Young Master Jiang’s life-saving grace, this little girl... can only repay you with your life.”
Master Jia: “…”
