Urban Night Returner

"You want to move the coffin?" Luo Ping looked at the eldest son in surprise.A few days ago there was an upheaval, why did he suddenly change his mind today, not only did he no longer ask for his mother's tablet to be brought into the ancestral hall, but also moved the coffin away.

"That's right." The food and grass have been collected and ready to go on the road. Luo Jing has also changed into a military uniform, and he looks more majestic and heroic. .”

Luo Ping was furious at the arrogant disdain in his tone, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only say: "Your mother has been buried for a long time, and the coffin is probably about to rot, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to move her again... Besides, she is my wife after all. The members of the Luo family should be buried here, and it would be too—”

Luo Jing interrupted him before he finished speaking: "Father knew that mother is from the Luo family. However, mother is no longer interested in the title of aunt of the Luo family. If she wants to go back to her hometown, I must take her with her." Walk."

Luo Ping was finally so angry that he slapped the table: "You are so loud! What? Are you still my son? Relying on the power of the commander-in-chief, you dare to disobey? You want to piss me off, don't you?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Luo Jing's mouth: "So what?"

Luo Ping was so angry that his eyes stared blankly, he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you are a handsome man, it may not be in the way of my family law! Come on!"

The father and son are arguing here, and everyone in the Hefu is not aware of it. Although they dare not show up, they are quietly watching from the corner of the wall.Mrs. Luo was also supported by her son out of the Buddhist hall to watch the fun in the courtyard. She was pretty, but her face was as pale as paper and expressionless, which made people feel cold.Hearing that Luo Ping was about to move the family law, a schadenfreude smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Master asked someone to send the family law, why don't you move?" Luo Zheng also said, "Get a new board, prepare two more You should be killed for such disobedience." The servants on both sides were already in a daze, and after they reminded them, someone rushed up with bamboo boards.

Luo Ping took the bamboo board in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Kneel down!"

Luo Jing stood still, and smiled sarcastically: "Don't you need to go to the yard?" He had been beaten many times since he was a child, and every time he was called to kneel in the yard and beaten in front of the servants who came and went.

Luo Ping raised his hand and said, "No! I'll beat you to death right here!" At the beginning, I felt a little guilty, but after I hit it smoothly, the bamboo board couldn't stop.

Luo Jing stood upright, swung the bamboo planks down like a windmill, but he didn't wrinkle his eyebrows, and when Luo Ping swung his hands a little sore, he said coldly: "Have you hit enough?"

Luo Ping was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "You, you kneel down to me!" A stick hit his leg again.

Luo Jing shook slightly, but still stood upright, and smiled faintly: "Go ahead and fight, that's today. Take this opportunity to fight enough, otherwise, when I step out of this door, you won't be able to fight again." There is no chance to beat my own son."

There is something in these words, Luo Ping couldn't help but pause: "What did you say?"

Luo Jing's eyes swept around the yard: "The new accountant Mr. Shen Mobai, I want to take him away."

Luo Ping's eyes were red, and he shouted: "I ask you what you just said!"

Luo Jing smiled coldly, turned his gaze to Mrs. Luo's pale face, and said word by word: "Go ask your wife, my aunt! Was Luo Zheng born by her or by her younger sister! "

"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Luo screamed as if she had been stabbed, "Master, are you going to let him talk like this?"

Luo Jing smiled softly, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge: "Nonsense? The midwife who delivered you at the beginning, and the next dead baby, probably wouldn't say that?" He cut Mrs. Luo inch by inch with his eyes. , the voice became higher and higher, "Do you know why your grandson is crying at night? That is because the ancestors of the Luo family couldn't tolerate him pretending to be the young master of the Luo family and enjoying things he didn't deserve!"

Luo Ping was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to it, and he slammed the sledgehammer furiously and said, "You bastard!"

This time Luo Jing didn't stick to each other anymore, and Luo Ping's board was empty when he dodged.Luo Jing brushed off his clothes, as if he didn't care about this meal at all: "Father doesn't believe it, it doesn't matter, but the child will die in half a year at the most, after that, as long as the second young master's child is born, Presumably, the ancestors of the Luo family would not let him live. The boy still has military affairs, and he will leave today. After that, the boy will never come back, so—" He suddenly shot and snatched it from Luo Ping's hand like lightning. The bamboo board snapped into two pieces with a clap of both hands, and threw it on the ground, "Father won't need this thing in the future."

Before Luo Ping came to his senses, Luo Zheng rushed up like crazy, and punched out: "You put—" Before the word "fart" could be said, he had already flew upside down, Luo Jing moved to point He looked at him condescendingly and said, "Only you, dare to fight with me? You might as well go back and take a good look in the mirror. Do you look like my old lady, or are you more like your biological mother!"

Luo Ping stared blankly at Luo Zheng, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and then turned to look at Mrs. Luo who was already shaking.He had seen that sister-in-law before. She looked eighty percent like Mrs. Luo, except that the corners of her eyes were slightly raised.Looking at it now, Luo Zheng's eyes are exactly the same as hers. If he is [-]% like Mrs. Luo, then he is [-]% like that sister-in-law, but no one has thought of it before.

Luo Jing glanced at the stunned people in the courtyard with satisfaction, and finally fell on Shen Mobai who was standing in the corner of the courtyard staring blankly at him, with a slight hook of the corner of his mouth: "Follow me."

Shen Mobai was almost dragged out of the gate of Luo's house and stuffed into the carriage by him, his wrist hurt so much, but he didn't care about it, he just glared at Luo Jing angrily: "You, why don't you believe what you say?"

Luo Jing raised his eyebrows and forced him down on the cushion: "Since when have I broken my promise?"

Shen Mobai was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly: "You - you won't say it! You promised not to say it!"

Luo Jing raised an eyebrow: "Have I promised? You should think about it again."

Shen Mobai stared at him, quickly recalling the scene at that time.Luo Jing looked at his rosy lips slightly opened, with a blank expression mixed with anger and regret on his face, and smiled slightly: "Remember? I didn't promise not to tell this matter, I just said I wouldn't tell An outsider. My father, isn’t this an outsider?”

Shen Mobai has never understood these word games, and he vaguely felt that Luo Jing had lied to him, and he couldn't find anything to refute, but he regretted that he shouldn't have told him about it.Suddenly, I heard a shrill scream coming from the gate, but I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.He was clever, got up and looked back through the car window, but couldn't see anything.Luo Jing sat down calmly, and said, "Let's go!" Bi Quan jumped on the shaft of the carriage and swung his whip, and the carriage rolled forward.Luo Jing glanced at Shen Mobai, saw that he was still leaning against the window, and said indifferently: "What are you looking at? She deserved what she deserved. In order to give birth to a son-in-law, Li Daitao was stiff and forced my mother to death in order to secure the position of the first wife. Today is the retribution. .”

Shen Mobai turned to look at him.In his heart, he felt that what Luo Jing said was not unreasonable, but also felt that this way of doing things was too cruel.Although Luo Jing's voice was calm, the corners of his mouth were extremely tense, and his muscles twitched slightly, obviously resentment and pain to the extreme.Seeing his appearance, Shen Mobai suddenly felt pity for him again, and slowly slid down on the mat, and said softly: "But the young master is so pitiful..."

Luo Jing smiled coldly: "It's her own fault! Besides, as long as she admits the facts and returns the child to her natal family, it will be fine. If she survives to the end, then I can't blame anyone else!"

Shen Mobai stopped talking and sat blankly.Luo Jing glanced at him sideways, and said: "I forgot to ask you something. Since Luo Zheng is not a member of the Luo family, why didn't he have night crying symptoms when he was young?"

Shen Mobai hesitated and said: "I don't know about this. Maybe it's because you were at home when he was young. I heard that you only left home when he had grown up and his ghosts were hard to come by. The young master is too young , the yang energy is not enough—" He was still explaining, but Luo Jing had already lifted up his neckline, pointed it directly in front of his eyes, and said coldly: "What do you mean? So what if I'm here?"

Shen Mobai shrank slightly from his surprise, and said softly: "Your body is full of yang energy... hostile energy... is also sufficient, and it is difficult for ghosts to get close. And you are the eldest son, with you, the Luo family is alive, and the ancestors don't have to." Deliberately disturbing..."

Luo Jing glared at him fiercely: "Arrogance? What kind of inborn evil is it, to overcome father and mother, to prodigal, to kill others?"

Shen Mobai really felt that he was full of hostility, and after he came back, the Luo family would be turned into chaos from now on.But looking at Luo Jing's almost red eyes, he couldn't say these words. For the first time in his life, he swallowed the truth, and said softly: "That's not the case. You just have a bit more murderous intent, to restrain your father and your mother... It's just a coincidence."

This is a bit clumsy.Luo Jing just snorted, threw him back on the mat, closed his eyes and rested himself, and stopped talking.Shen Mobai only felt that the pressure on his body was scattered even when he was quiet, and he couldn't help moving to the corner, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Where are you taking me?"

Luo Jing didn't open his eyes, and said calmly: "The graveyard."

The cemetery Luo Jing mentioned was where his mother was buried.A little bit outside the Luo family's ancestral grave, which means that she is just a concubine and not eligible to enter the ancestral grave.Cigarettes were lingering in front of the grave, and a young woman had already dug up the grave with several earthworkers. Shen Mobai glanced at her quietly, thinking that this was probably the woman that the servants said Luo Jing was with him.The appearance is seven or eight points similar to Biquan, probably because he is used to running around with Luo Jing, exposed to the wind and sun, his skin is slightly dark, but his eyebrows and eyes are well-defined, and he looks very capable.

The coffin was rotten and mixed with the soil, making it hard to tell.Among the brown and black, only the white bones stood out.Luo Jing jumped down himself, picked up the bones one by one, and solemnly put them into the prepared sandalwood box.For a while, no one dared to make a sound, until Luo Jing covered the wooden box, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison.Luo Jing moved the box to the prepared carriage with his own hands, glanced at Shen Mobai and said, "Get in the carriage."

Shen Mobai was stunned: "Where are you going?" He thought that Luo Jing dragged him to the cemetery because he was afraid that the opening of the coffin would disturb the souls of the dead, so he asked him to do a ritual or something.Now it seems that Luo Jing has no taboo at all about digging graves and opening coffins.

Luo Jing said lightly: "Follow me. When the battle is over, follow me to Qiantang."

Shen Mobai opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Why?"

"Since you can cast shadows, you must also know Fengshui. Go to Qiantang to choose a good grave for my mother."

Shen Mobai was in a hurry: "Yes, but I can't leave this place!"

Luo Jing gave him a cold look: "Why not? I have sent someone to inquire. You have no relatives and no reason. You only have one master, a monk from Zhongshan Temple who died the year before last. You have nothing to worry about. What can you do?" Did you leave?" Zhongshan is the mountain outside Changzhou City, there are few people there, there is only a ruined temple in the middle of the mountain, but there is no incense.

Shen Mobai didn't expect that he would inquire into himself so thoroughly, he was speechless for a while, and then said for a while: "The former master said, I must not leave Zhongshan."

Luo Jing raised his eyebrows: "What did your master say? He said that you must not leave Zhongshan, but where are you now?" It is more than 30 miles away from Zhongshan.

Shen Mobai swallowed when he asked.He lived in the mountains with his master since he was a child and never went down the mountain.Before the master died, he was strictly told not to leave Zhong Shan.But there are few people in the mountains, and it is lonely to be alone with birds and beasts. Occasionally meeting a woodcutter or a hunter for a few words will only increase the curiosity about life down the mountain, and finally tentatively walk down the mountain.At the beginning, I just walked around the city, seeing nothing unusual, gradually I became more courageous.He was able to read and write, so he worked as an accountant in Luojiabu Village. He came to the house to pay the bill by chance, but he ran into the young master who was crying.It was already dark at that time, and at a glance, he saw more than a dozen black shadows lingering around the child.Although he didn't make any moves yet, the child couldn't help the oppression of the Yin Qi, and naturally cried a lot, so he couldn't help walking up to pick up the child.The child was held in his arms, but the shadows around him couldn't resist the Buddha's light shining on him, so they had to scatter and hide, and the child gradually became quiet.He knew that this Buddha light came from a bodhi bead given to him by his master, which he had never left since he was a child.When the master was dying, there were two repeated instructions: first, not to leave Zhongshan, and second, not to remove the bodhi beads.He finally couldn't help violating the first rule, but kept obeying the second rule.He knew he could see things that others couldn't, and those things loved him too.When he was young, he was also frightened by these things and wept unceasingly. It was the master who gave him this bodhi bead to keep those things away from him. Therefore, he has never taken off this bodhi bead since he put it on.It's just that he never thought that he would be kept by the Luo family and his son, let alone that Luo Jing would take him away from Changzhou today.

Luo Jing saw that his lips were twitching but he couldn't utter a rebuttal, so he smiled coldly, pulled him away and took him to the carriage: "Let's go."

Shen Mobai struggled and said anxiously: "No, really not! The first teacher said that I must never leave Zhongshan. Changzhou City is still under Zhongshan, but Qiantang..." Qiantang is too far away from Changzhou.

Luo Jing pretended not to hear.His hand was so strong that Shen Mobai was pulled staggeringly by him, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and a horse came galloping, and got close and rolled off the horse: "General, someone from the military department has arrived, saying that this batch of grain and grass is not in compliance with the regulations, and they are not allowed to go on the road."

Luo Jing frowned, and let go of Shen Mobai: "It doesn't comply with the regulations? How could it not comply with the regulations? I personally inspected and put this batch of grain and grass into the warehouse, so what's not in compliance with the regulations?"

The person who came was panting, obviously looking for it in a hurry: "I don't know what's going on. It's just that someone suddenly arrived this morning. The brothers have already loaded the food and grass and are waiting to go on the road, but he stopped us abruptly. He has to be inspected by the car, and then he says he owes us... I think he is clearly looking for trouble for us and won't let us go on the road."

A cold light flashed in Luo Jing's eyes, and he said solemnly: "That's right, they are clearly here to cause trouble. Come on, go over and have a look!" Pulling the horse back, he didn't forget to turn around and tell Bi Quan, "Please invite Mr. Shen Go to the post station, if someone makes any mistake, I will take you as a questioner!"
