Chapter 841 How could he commit suicide?
Xie Yuan walked into the temporary mortuary tent amidst Ke Sande's command and shouts.

As soon as he entered, he saw a woman with three children.

With her back facing her, the woman was wearing a barbarian dress with narrow sleeves and a turban on her head. She had the same look as the clothes. The blue of the clothes had already been washed and turned pale.

She was lying on the corpse, crying all the time, and beside her was an eight or nine-year-old boy kneeling beside her, also crying loudly.

The other two younger ones were still naive, and were still arguing on the sidelines, clamoring for mother to judge.

But the woman was in grief, she only cared about crying, she couldn't care less about the two children.

Xie Yuan lifted the curtain of the tent and froze there, not moving for a while.

The woman felt that there was light behind her, then she turned around and saw Xie Yuan standing at the door.

She saw that although Xie Yuan was slender, but his figure was tall and straight, with an extraordinary bearing, with a faint oppressive power, she subconsciously felt that he was a person in a high position.

She was timid, so she quickly wiped her tears, suppressed her crying, and knelt down to the side, bowing her head and not making a sound.

Xie Yuan lowered the raised curtain, and the light inside the tent suddenly dimmed again.

She walked up to the woman and stood still, looking at Sha Wei's body, looking at this helpless and tragic scene, and looking at the two young children who didn't know how to suffer, she didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that Xie Yuan didn't speak, the woman was puzzled for a while, but cautiously raised her head to look at her.

Only now did she see the face of the person coming.

Seeing that Xie Yuan was a Han, with a tender and tender side face, she was very young, but her brows and eyes were heroic and majestic, and she immediately guessed who she was.

But she didn't dare to confirm, she just hemmed and asked:
"This... this... is it?"

Only then did Xie Yuan turn his head, lifted his robe very generously, knelt down on the seat next to him, and said:

"My name is Xie Yuan, and I am the commander of the camp in the middle of the country. What do you call my sister-in-law?"

When the woman heard this, her eyes that were already red from crying flickered, she looked at Xie Yuan's face, she seemed shocked, but also excited, she didn't speak for a long time, and then stammered back after a long while:

"I am... My name is Ah Shui."

Xie Yuan lowered his eyes, and asked in a warm voice: "Sister-in-law Ah Shui, do you know how Sha Wei died?"

The woman named Ah Shui looked at Xie Yuan, and broke down again in an instant. After sobbing, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shook her head violently.

There was a sad look in Xie Yuan's eyes, but she quickly covered it up and said:
"Before you came, Wu Zuo had an autopsy and suspected that he committed suicide by swallowing gold. Before he died, did he tell you anything?"

Hearing this, Ah Shui was shocked, and quickly said:
"Suicide? Impossible! How could he commit suicide after we finally had a better life? Female commander, he said that you are a good commander, you will definitely uphold justice for him, right?"

Xie Yuan was a little surprised, because no barbarian soldier had ever admitted that she was a good leader.

And this Sha Wei, before he died, she didn't even know his name.

It's just because he is the only barbarian in this guy, so he visits here a lot on a daily basis.

Xie Yuan glanced at Sha Wei, who had become a corpse on the bunk, and carefully looked at his somewhat thin face again. The fragments in his memory that he had never cared about gradually became clearer, and Sha Wei seemed to be there too. Her memory was alive.

She withdrew her gaze, leaned her straight back slightly forward, and said in a gentle and solemn voice:

"If he is really wronged, of course I will uphold justice for him. Sister-in-law Ah Shui, can you tell me about his affairs? Including what happened to him recently, and what he said to you, tell me."

The two young children surrounded Mrs. Ah Shui, still fighting, while her eldest son silently wiped away tears.

Mrs. Ah Shui looked at her three children, not knowing what to do in the future, she was worried and sad, and said while shedding tears:

"How could he commit suicide?...We came from Huai'an Army Town in the south. You don't know, how many years he has been the leader of the gang, he finally fought a battle a year ago and made military achievements. Then We all thought he was dead because of the danger of his military exploits, and all the pensions in the barracks were paid out, but he came back alive.

At that time, many people in the military town knew about this incident and were very surprised.

Later, because of this incident, he was finally promoted to a guard chief in his No. 12 year in the army.We were very happy at that time, Chief Wei had a lot of things to share, and the house will be much easier in the future.

But when the head of the guard was appointed, his life in the barracks was rather sad.Several times, the wives of other soldiers in the military town told me that Shawei offended the captain and was always punished and beaten.

When he came home, I asked him if there was such a thing.He nodded.

I asked him why?He didn't say anything, he just said that I don't care, it's useless if I know. "

Mrs. Ah Shui glanced at Sha Wei's face, showing a sad look because of memories, and said sobbingly:
"... He doesn't like to talk. If there is anything, he keeps it in his heart... If he doesn't want to say it, I won't ask.

After another half a year, I heard that the central army of the imperial court wanted to recruit soldiers. There were more than 200 places in the army town, and they were all ordinary soldiers. For some reason, even he was included.

I was very wronged for him, so I said, if it is because of the embarrassment of the captain, we can borrow money and prepare some generous gifts to make amends, and it is not good to let him spare us.

He refused, and told me that he didn't want to stay under the captain's hands for a long time.This means that the south is stable and there is no war. If there is next time, he will be pushed out to lead the most dangerous mission.He didn't want to die.

If he dies, what will we do with the four of us, mother and child?
He also persuaded me that although he was an ordinary soldier in Pingcheng, he was also the emperor's soldier, and his treatment was better, not necessarily worse than the chief of the guard in this military town.Most importantly, it's safer here.

I thought what he said made sense, so I took the child, packed up my things, and followed him to Pingcheng to settle down. "

As Sister Ah Shui said, she couldn't help crying again, covering her face, and said:
"How could he commit suicide?! After coming here, he was much happier than before. He also told me that although the commander is a Han Chinese and a girl, she has superb martial arts skills and presides over things fairly, without regard for favors.

He said that he is confident that he will be able to become the head of the guard again in the future, so that we can all live a good life.Woooooo...he said that...how could he commit suicide? "
