Chapter 76 The Tracker
After a night's rest, Qi Luoshu insisted that he was fine, leaving his wife at home to take care of the children early in the morning, and took Chen Jiao'er and his party to the Chen family's cemetery.
The Chen family has only one old servant, who lives in a thatched hut outside the cemetery all year round. When people who don't know come, they just ask which family they pay their respects to, and they let them go.
Chen Jiao'er doesn't need Qi Luoshu to lead the way at all, she has visited the position of her parents in the cemetery many times in her dreams.Walking faster and faster, tears flowed down the cheeks and fell to the ground in a "plop plop".
In the end, Chen Jiaoer walked in front of everyone alone, and when she was still a few steps away from the tombstone, she "thumped" and fell to her knees.He fell down on the ground and wept bitterly.
No one expected Chen Jiao'er to be so excited, only Aunt Su vaguely sensed something, wanted to say something uneasy, and finally closed her mouth, leaving only a sigh.Preventing Cherry from coming forward, "Miss is also thinking of her parents, they are all sympathetic to each other, let Miss vent."
Cherry automatically knelt down beside the young lady, took out the funeral ceremony, and placed it neatly. Chen Jiao'er lit the joss stick with trembling hands.Burn incense and pray, "Father, Mother, Jiao'er has come to see you. Jiao'er from the previous life has been reborn into this body, and I know that no matter what Jiao'er becomes, you will recognize it, right?"
"Lin Da has been punished, and I will not let Chen Desheng go. Jiao'er will definitely live a good life in this life. You must rest assured that your daughter will live a good life for you to see."
Cherry saw the young lady's lips moving slightly, but couldn't hear any sound. She only said that she confessed to avenge their daughter, but she didn't care, and concentrated on adding ghost paper to the fire in front of her.
Chen Jiao'er knelt in front of her and concentrated on praying, and a long-clothed scholar came from behind, who seemed to be familiar with Qi Luoshu.The two walked aside to talk.
The long-clothed scribe looked up and down, feeling very melancholy, "Luo Shu has suffered."
"Brother Jun Mo doesn't need to be like this. The one buried below is my own sister. I always have the face to meet her when I go down."
"Luo Shu doesn't need to be sarcastic about me, alas... You know I can't get in the way of things in the clan."
Qi Luoshu also knew what he said was true, since the Chen family sold his brother-in-law's mansion, he refused to interact with the Chen family, and he refused to say a word when they met.Only Chen Junmo, sarcasm is sarcasm, also knows that these things have nothing to do with him, otherwise even if they met, he would not respond.
The two of them were talking halfway, when they heard a roar, they turned their heads at the same time, and saw that Su Dazhuang was pulling with someone.Qi Luoshu's leg is still not healed, dragging his injured leg and going up to help.
"Who is making noise in our Chen family's ancestral grave?" Chen Junmo rushed forward to help Su Dazhuang hold back the person who came.
"What the hell are you, what is your purpose, how long have you been with us, is it you who were caught by the caravan when we entered the mountain?" Su Dazhuang has been sitting outside the carriage because of driving. Faint uneasiness.
The fact that a thief was caught in the mountains and then escaped made him even more cautious.As a result, along the way, he really found a clue that someone was following them.
This is a cemetery, and it is not a day like Qingming, so naturally there will be no people.Not to mention there was no place to hide, as soon as he appeared, Su Dazhuang caught him right away.
"I want to see Miss Chen." The person whose arm was twisted didn't panic at all.Instead, he straightened his chest and looked at Su Dazhuang. Su Dazhuang looked at him. This man was not tall, thin and thin, and was dressed in short clothes.
A face was unsurprisingly long, the kind that would be hard to find when thrown into a crowd, but a pair of eyes, very clear.
Chen Jiao'er, who was kneeling in front of her, had already heard the noise, and asked Cherry to stand aside.Hearing this, he met Su Dazhuang's eyes and nodded slightly.
Qi Luoshu dragged his legs over, glanced at the person who came, and then at Chen Junmo, "Brother Junmo, this is someone else's family matter, let's talk." After speaking, he dragged Chen Junmo outside the cemetery, Just facing their direction, if there is anything, you can come here soon.
"How do you know that my surname is Chen? What's the use of looking for me?" Chen Jiao'er thought to himself, to be able to escape from those caravan guards in the mountains, this person must have some means. If he wants to harm them, let alone Uncle Su, It's the same even with two frail scholars.
"The villain's surname is Chen, Chen Daren." He easily broke away from Su Dazhuang's hand, but still stood on the spot, clasped his fists in both hands, and saluted Chen Jiao'er.
Chen Daren and Chen Jiao'er stared wide-eyed, this man, this man... Look at him hard.That's right, it's Daren, the father's long-term companion Daren.
Seeing Chen Jiaoer's shocked look, Chen Daren knew that he had found the right person, knelt down on both knees, nodded respectfully and said, "Miss, the youngest one is Daren."
Aunt Su whispered, "Miss, this person is..."
"It's someone sent by Shi Ziye. It may be that Shi Ziye has something to say. If you choose to step down, I will ask alone." Chen Jiao'er improvised a lie and sent the three of them aside.
There are so many things but I don’t know where to start. Suddenly, I thought of something, and my heart beat violently, "You have identified the wrong person. Although I have the same name and surname as Chen Jiaoer, I am not the lady you mentioned. It is just a coincidence that I helped her avenge her." .”
Chen Daren smiled miserably: "For so many years, Miss is afraid that Daren has changed his mind, so she refuses to tell the truth. Although I can't understand why Miss has become like this, but since seeing Lin Da being punished at the vegetable market First, I have been following Miss for some time."
"The place where you were murdered by the river, the cemetery of Mrs. Madam, no matter what you say, I know that you are Miss." At first, Chen Daren was only suspicious, but after seeing Chen Jiaoer's true feelings, he was sure that this person was Miss. .
"I know that the young lady has secrets, and the little ones don't dare to ask and won't inquire about them. As long as the young lady is willing to keep the little one by her side, the little ones don't care about other things."
Although he didn't know why Miss became another person, so what, Miss was still Miss, as long as he knew this, that was enough.
Chen Jiao'er took a deep look at him, "How did you escape back then, and where have you been all these years?"
Chen Daren was refreshed, knowing that it was the young lady who was inspecting him, and seriously replied, "When I was young, because my stomach was uncomfortable and I didn't eat much at night, I woke up as soon as I entered the water. Because of my good water quality, I used stones to hold my breath. The rope was worn out, but he lost his strength, so he floated down the current to Tonglin, where he was rescued by an old couple. The young man found out what had happened after inquiring many ways, and he should have gone to the yamen to file a complaint."
"But something happened to the old man's house, and the younger one had to stay at their house to help out. Later, he stayed in the local area to take care of them until their retirement."
"The strength of this body is also taught by the old man. They passed away one after another two years ago, and the younger one went to the capital to inquire about Lin Da's news, only to find out that he has been thrown into prison."
"The little one knew at the time that the young lady must be alive. The master is gone, and the young lady is the young master, and the young one should follow." Chen Daren was Chen Junyu's long-term follower, who was dedicated to serving in the study. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. age.Ten years have passed, and he is still a young man in his thirties.
Chen Jiao'er pondered for a while, and finally made a decision. There are still too few people around her, especially those who know martial arts, and there is no one.With him around, you and those around you are much safer.
"You may not know that Linda is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are many big people behind it. Every step I take is like walking on thin ice, and I will fall down at any time, and my body will be smashed to pieces. If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened. "Chen Jiao'er looked at him, if he thought that the murderer had been punished and could live a good life with her, then he was wrong.
Chen Daren's body trembled, and just when Chen Jiao'er thought he was about to leave, she suddenly choked up and said, "Miss, you really have grown up. Master and Madam died too unjustly, if you can avenge them, the younger ones will die even if they are smashed to pieces. "
"You, what are you talking about. Dad... Master Chen and his wife, it wasn't because of an accident." Chen Jiao'er had never been in such a panic before. Didn't her father and mother die because of an accident?Revenge, why revenge?
"The little one has no evidence, but the little one knows that this is definitely not an accident. The little one came to see the young lady, just hoping that the young lady knows these things and can avenge the master and the wife." Chen Daren fell on the ground, big tears rolling down on the ground.He had waited too long for this day, so long that he thought there was no hope.
It was so easy to find Miss, and there was hope again, how could he miss it.If he can't avenge the old lady, he will never live in peace in his life.But he also knows that, apart from his strength, his status is very different from those people.I can only pin my hope on the young lady, as for myself, I am willing to be driven by the young lady.
"You are Mr. Chen's long-term follower. You were found by the son, and now you are sent to protect me. If you have no objection, follow me." Chen Jiao'er knew that this is not the place to talk, and forced herself to calm down.
"Yes." Seeing that the young lady finally nodded, Chen Daren was overjoyed, and took three more heads before agreeing to get up.
Aunt Su and the others naturally didn't dare to have any objections to the arrangement of the eldest son, and Qi Luoshu was only briefly surprised when he heard it.
Chen Junmo had already left, and Qi Luoshu didn't say much about the conversation between them, but his expression made it obvious that they probably broke up unhappy.
Back at Qi's house, the wife of Qi's family had prepared meals and waited for them.Going out in the morning, Mrs. Su left some money for the Qi family's wife as rent.Although she tried to evade in every possible way, she blocked her mouth with the sentence of arranging for a group of people to eat.
During the meal, Aunt Su sat alone with Cherry, Su Dazhuang and the newcomer Chen Daren.The food is the same as that of the host's house, which is also Chen Jiao'er's request.
There is a difference between master and servant, no matter how much she treats them as relatives, the etiquette that has lasted for thousands of years is not something she can change at will.As the master, she can't control how to eat, but she can decide what to eat.
