Chapter 242

But she smiled slightly and called out her name: "Cai Mulberry, long time no see." As she spoke, she put on the veil again, revealing only a pair of gentle eyes, looking at her with a smile, as kind and natural as before , just as there has never been a parting for a while.

"You..." Qin Caisang moved his hand to his ear, imitating her lifting motion, "Why?"

Jiang Meiwu seemed to shake her head, and instead of answering, asked: "Didn't I tell you?"

Qin Caisang looked at her and shook his head, "Never said that."

"Really?" Jiang Meiwu sighed softly, "Then let's talk about it later."

Qin Caisang didn't have much objection, she just responded in a low voice, and went to see the child again.He didn't seem to have heard the two talking at all, he kept his head down and kept silent, his hands were hidden under the table, his shoulders trembled faintly, he didn't know what he was playing with.In fact, she was a little curious in her heart, where did Jiang Meiwu find such a child?

Jiang Meiwu quickly noticed her gaze, and explained softly as usual: "I met this child on the road, and he was alone. I was really worried, so I brought one with me." She said and looked at To the child, there was a bit of apology in his sincere tone, "Ajue, this sister must have been very thirsty after a hard journey, could I trouble you to go downstairs and ask for a pot of boiling water?"

A Jue nodded, got up silently, and closed the door behind him after going out.

Qin Caisang's gaze also followed him, and when he stood up, he stuffed something in his hand into a sleeve, and a smear of yellow flashed across it, and he became more and more puzzled, "His name is A Jue?"

"Well, I named him and I." Jiang Meiwu sighed suddenly, and her voice was a little lower, "Actually, I just met him not long ago, in a village outside the city. When I met him, the whole village He's the only one left."

Qin Caisang's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry, and even his voice was filled with anger, "Is it because of the famine?"

"Yes, and no." Jiang Meiwu glanced at her, and there was a little weirdness in her eyes, "Cai Sang, I don't want to hide it from you." She hesitated to speak, and said under her gaze for a moment, " I think this matter has something to do with Ah Jue."

Qin Caisang fell into a cloud for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"You should also know that although locusts have been born in severe drought this year and there is a shortage of food, the situation in Luoyang is not that bad. It will not be so bad that people will starve to death." Jiang Meiwu sighed softly, "But that village No one survived, and the death was horrifying. It didn't look like starving to death, nor like recruiting bandits, but it seemed to be poisoned. But I checked the well and other places where poison might be poisoned, and I couldn't find anything unusual , maybe I don't know enough..."

"You mean he was poisoned?" Qin Caisang finally couldn't help interrupting her, she couldn't believe that the weak-looking child would do such a thing, "Why did he do this?"

Jiang Meiwu shook her head, "I asked him, but he refused to tell."

After thinking about it again, Qin Caisang couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Actually, even if this is the case, it may not be him who did it, maybe there is something hidden in it."

Jiang Meiwu still shook her head, "When I met him, he was about to drink a bowl of water. The bowl of water was poisonous, and he was the only living person in the village. I really can't think of other possibilities. Maybe there is something hidden. , but he refused to say anything."

"Then why did you bring him with you?" Qin Caisang looked at her involuntarily, "If it's really what he did..."

"That's not the case. He originally wanted to kill himself. If it wasn't for me, he would also..." Jiang Meiwu sighed softly, paused and said, "I think he is young, if he hadn't suffered from God It is a big grievance, and I absolutely cannot do such a thing. Although I couldn't know the reason for it for a while, I really couldn't just ignore it. You may think my idea is ridiculous? Anyway, if it is what he said Because, it is always a mistake, and you have to bear the consequences. And killing people for their lives is even more justified."

Qin Caisang looked at her, and slowly shook his head, "You should know, I don't think that way anymore..."

Jiang Meiwu was slightly taken aback, but was speechless for a while, the two looked at each other in silence for a moment, Qin Caisang looked away first, and said in a low voice, "Then what are you going to do now? Are you taking him with you all the time?"

Jiang Meiwu also recovered as before, "No matter what the truth is, he always has a lot of research on herbal medicine. He is so young, after all, it is rare. I think Xiaozhulin may be able to take him in."

"Little Bamboo Forest is indeed a good place to go." Qin Caisang finally thought of Satsuma, and then recalled the current situation, "It just so happens that Xie Xiaozhuang is mainly going back to Jinling, and bringing an extra child is not a problem."

Jiang Meiwu shook her head and said: "Shen Ge had already left early in the morning, I met this child later. I originally wanted to go to Ruzhong to find you, but later I was afraid that I would miss it... I think you will always come back of."

Qin Caisang was silent for a moment and then said: "Then maybe you can..."

Jiang Meiwu quickly interrupted her and said, "I can't."

The answer did not surprise her, but she still couldn't express her feelings when she heard it. She shook her head and said, "But he can't follow me... I'm not afraid of him, I'm just..."

Jiang Meiwu didn't seem surprised either, she continued very calmly: "You don't plan to go back, do you?"

Qin Caisang nodded, "It's not the time yet."

"I understand." Jiang Meiwu didn't say much, "but he may be able to help you. Every time there is an epidemic after a severe drought, you don't understand medical reason... Why are you looking at me like this?"

"It's nothing." Qin Caisang looked away and slowly shook her head, "I just don't know...but if you insist on keeping him, I will try my best to take care of him and send him to the small bamboo forest when the matter is over. "

Jiang Meiwu seemed to be relieved, "Thank you."

"Why do you..." Qin Caisang didn't continue, she took a deep breath, and finally asked tentatively, "Then..."

Jiang Meiwu also spoke almost at the same time, "You..."

The two were startled at the same time, and then both stopped talking at the same time.After a while of silence, Qin Caisang managed to smile, "You speak first."

Jiang Meiwu looked at her for a moment, and then slowly said: "I heard that you met my father..."

"I haven't seen him, I just heard Qu Liuyao say that." Qin Caisang pulled the chair and sat down, looked up at Jiang Meiwu, although he was speechless, he invited her to sit with his eyes.Jiang Meiwu seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slowly walked forward, pulled out a chair and sat down, still looking at her with such hesitant and uncertain eyes, but didn't say anything.

Qin Caisang really didn't know what mood she was in right now. Qu Liuyao only mentioned Jiang's family a few days ago, and she—she who had disappeared for so long, actually appeared in front of her now. She didn't want to know what was going on. It's not a coincidence, and I don't want to pay attention to what role the Jiang family played, let alone beat around the bush.She almost held her breath, and said word by word: "So, is that really him?"

Jiang Meiwu met her gaze without avoiding it, and nodded slightly.

"So, he has been in the Western Regions these past few years, so you..." She didn't know why she had to pause for a while, before she continued, Jiang Meiwu shook her head very calmly, her tone was calm Without a wave, "I'm not with him."

"then you……"

Jiang Meiwu quickly said: "You should be careful of him."

Qin Caisang suddenly felt a little ridiculous, she really smiled, leaned back, and said in a casual tone, "Who are you careful about? Your father? Why?"

There was no joke in Jiang Meiwu's words, it was almost serious, "He may have something to do with the Stone Sect."

"What are you talking about?" Qin Caisang shook her head in disbelief, feeling either she was confused or Jiang Meiwu was crazy.She shook her head, and shook her head again, "I don't understand."

Jiang Meiwu still looked at her calmly, "I think, you may have heard that Shuangqi...is the hometown of the Jiang family."

"Maybe I've heard of it?" Qin Caisangmansi repeated her words in an orderly manner, her heart sank a little bit, but her tone was very calm for some reason. See through, "So you want to tell me that I was all wrong in the past, and I was deceived again, don't you? You and Lian Yunsheng, you and Yu Zhou are always together, aren't you? Or do you want to tell me, Shitou?" The religion is just a puppet in your hands, and your Jiang family is the real mastermind behind the scenes?"

"No." Jiang Meiwu lowered her head slightly, "It's not like that."

Qin Caisang said relentlessly, "What kind of thing is that?"

Jiang Meiwu looked up at her, and said softly: "You may..."

"Don't say maybe!" Qin Caisang suddenly felt unbearable for some reason, suddenly raised his voice, and then lowered it, "Don't say maybe."

Jiang Meiwu replied obediently, "Things are not what you think. It's a long story...but I will tell you the truth. Our Jiang family has been a businessman since the previous dynasty. The story of double differences The house was later destroyed by the war, and the ancestors moved to Jinling. For some reason, no one mentioned the double differences, so I really didn't know at first. Later, the ancestors got an ancient sword by chance, and accidentally met the ancestors of the Xie family. The two had similar interests. One day, the elders of the Xie family recognized that the sword seemed to come from the same source, and compared it with Cangyun, both of them thought it was a miracle. Our Jiang family never practiced martial arts, so the ancestor gave him the sword , met to find out the story, but there were no clues after that, but neither of them paid much attention to it. Later, the ancestors went to the Western Regions for business and accidentally got a handbook. He is a person in the early years of the former dynasty. His handwriting records that there are volumes of wonderful books in the world, ranging from astronomy to geography, military law, medicine and martial arts, all-encompassing. If you get it, you can know the events of 500 years before and after, Mrs. Yong. It is with this book that Zu was invincible and finally conquered the world."

Qin Caisang couldn't help snorting, "A book can do so much, it's like Mr. Qu... Senior, he claims to know all the secrets of heaven, but in fact... Heh, the founding of the previous dynasty was all thanks to the two brothers of the Kou family. What is the relationship between Laoshi Zishu?"

Jiang Meiwu glanced at her, "The legend may be exaggerated, but it should be a fact that Kou Dalang received a book from an expert. He knows so much that he knows everything. Besides, his medical skills are superb, and he has a clever plan. , far beyond the reach of others. After the establishment of the dynasty, his whereabouts were unknown. At that time, many people rumored that he had gone away."

Qin Caisang said disapprovingly: "That doesn't explain anything. Since he is so capable, how could he not know the truth of hiding his bow? Perhaps it was to avoid disaster, and you also know what happened to the Kou family."

Jiang Meiwu didn't refute her, and her tone was still flat: "Maybe so, but I believe so."

Qin Caisang soon realized the meaning behind her words, "That's why I convinced my ancestors, and he wanted to find out the so-called strange book."

Jiang Meiwu nodded, "Yes."

"But of course he can't do it right. So what? So it was passed down and became an instruction for future generations?" Qin Caisang couldn't believe it, and he couldn't help but laugh, "So are you going to tell me that she challenged all the sects, and your father is far away?" Going to the Western Regions is all for this? The so-called murder of father and mother, the so-called enmity between siblings, is it all a cover?"

Jiang Meiwu shook her head, "No."

Qin Caisang couldn't bear her bland tone, "What is that?"

Jiang Meiwu said softly: "Cai Sang, just listen to me."

Qin Caisang took a deep breath, sat down again and said, "Okay, tell me."

"It's not that everyone in the Jiang family is obsessed with it, it's just that my father became obsessed after discovering the letter. As for the matter of my aunt, I don't know the cause and effect." Jiang Meiwu looked at her and said slowly, "But these years I It's true that the pursuit of my aunt's whereabouts with my father is not all for the revenge of the past."

Qin Caisang stared at her and said, "You call her aunt."

Jiang Meiwu met her gaze without denying it: "Yes."

Qin Caisang was silent for a while, picked up a cup and twirled it in his hand, "You said it was just your father's obsession, you said he might have something to do with the Stone Sect, but how do you know, she wasn't for this?"

"Just as you think," Jiang Meiwu looked at her with an exceptionally calm tone, "I have been in Shuangqi for the past three years."

Qin Caisang shook his head slightly, and the tea cup was thrown out of his hand, but before it fell to the ground, Jiang Meiwu grabbed it in his hand, and put it back into the tray safely.Qin Caisang watched her do all these things, knowing in her heart that with her admission, everything would be brought to the fore, and there would be no more excuses, "I said it before, there will be no second time."

Jiang Meiwu looked down at her, "I understand, I dare not ask your forgiveness."

Qin Caisang forced a smile, "Then you... Miss Jiang, you can go."

Jiang Meiwu said: "I will go, I just want to tell you, don't trust him so easily."

"Are you worried about me?" Qin Caisang laughed, "I won't, do you think I'm still the same as before? Yes, maybe in your eyes, I'm still easy to deceive."

"Cai...Miss Qin," Jiang Meiwu finally changed her address under her gaze, "Auntie said that the handbook also mentioned the matter of the Seven Swords. She went to meet Lian Yunsheng, and Daddy must also I met Lian Yunsheng, maybe there is some kind of deal between them."

Qin Caisang quietly listened to her, still laughing for some reason, "Qu Liuyao also said that it may not be their crooked ways that hurt me. Don't worry, I don't believe her." She paused, "But If I don't trust her, why should I trust you?"

Jiang Meiwu seemed speechless, and after a moment of silence, she said again: "Whether you believe it or not, Auntie is just an observer."

Qin Caisang frowned, "What?"

Jiang Meiwu said slowly: "There are hands manipulating puppets, and naturally there are people watching the show."

Qin Caisang snorted, "Really? It's really detached."

"Maybe you don't believe it." Jiang Meiwu seemed to smile, with a self-deprecating tone in her tone, "Actually, it's fine if you don't believe it, maybe it's better. I'm leaving."

After she finished speaking, she waited for a while, and seeing Qin Caisang just bowed her head in silence, she saluted and walked towards the door.

"Hold on."

She stood still as she said, but she didn't turn her head, and she could hear that she hadn't chased after her, and the voice was still far behind, "Why did you come to see me?"

Jiang Meiwu looked at the carved wooden door, counting the grids from top to bottom, "I said just now, my father..."

"Except for this?" Qin Caisang interrupted her, watching the curtains being blown by the wind and shaking gently, her heart was ignorant, "You don't have to tell me this, what do you want to use me for?"

Jiang Meiwu was silent, and said: "If you want to think so..."

Qin Caisang interrupted her again, "I'm sorry, I asked the wrong question." She smiled, "Let's change the question, you said she was a spectator, what about you? Do you want to be a spectator too?"

"I'm different from her. My aunt didn't intend to set foot in the rivers and lakes later, and she didn't intend to choose me. You shouldn't blame her." Jiang Meiwu paused, "As for my father, he has what he wants, and I also have what he wants. ...what I want."

Qin Caisang guessed that there should be a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "Maybe you won't tell me what it is, will you?"

Jiang Meiwu whispered: "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to tell me you're sorry, I've understood one thing over the years." Qin Caisang felt that the gray and white curtains became blurred and distant, "Flowers are impermanent, moons are impermanent, and roads are different... Conspiracy. I never blame you, you should know. Well... the last question, whether you answer it or not, you can go."

Jiang Meiwu nodded lightly, and after a moment, she remembered that she couldn't see, so she said, "You ask."

Qin Caisang waited for her words and tried to smile, "Why do you wear a veil?"

Jiang Meiwu remained silent for a little longer this time, "Auntie... passed away."

"Really?" Qin Caisang felt his heart go blank for a moment. He didn't know how long it had been before he murmured, "One day will always come in a hundred years of life. Miss Jiang, I'm sorry."

Jiang Meiwu just kept silent, waited for a while, and seeing that she was speechless, she went out and closed the door gently.

Qin Caisang finally let her tears fall when she heard the sound of the door closing. She didn't know how long it had passed when she heard the door slamming lightly. She quickly wiped away her tears and sat upright. The jug came in and poured water for her without a word.

Qin Caisang silently watched him rinse the cup first, knowing that Jiang Meiwu must have ordered something before, and thanked him, but suddenly felt something was wrong.Obviously what she said at the beginning was: Didn't you tell her?Then the reason must have been three years ago, and definitely not... definitely not Granny Bao... When she thought of that word, she felt unacceptable, took a deep breath, and forced herself not to think about it again. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, so what if I ask again?What she doesn't want to say, she can't do after all.

Then she turned her attention to the child again, "Why don't you speak?"

A Jue had already found a corner and sat down, still fiddling with something in his hand, Wen Yan just looked up at her, without saying a word.

Qin Caisang was rather curious, "Aren't you a little dumb?"

Ah Jue still didn't speak.

Qin Caisang sighed, got up and walked to him, and called out tentatively, "A Jue?"

A Jue looked up at her quietly and intently, as if asking her what to do.

Qin Caisang suddenly felt that she couldn't ask anything. Although she heard Jiang Meiwu's words, she didn't know why she couldn't feel disgusted with this child. Maybe it was because she felt in her heart that this child couldn't do that. thing.But her eyesight has always been very bad, hasn't it?

But she finally gave up for the time being, no matter what he had done, he always planned to thank him with death, and she couldn't frown at him until she figured out the real reason.What's more, if a person has done a wrong thing, should he really be heinous?She has become more and more unclear, but at this moment, she just looked at the straw in his hand and asked with great patience: "What are you doing?"

A Jue still didn't speak, just held the thing in her hand in front of her, it was a grasshopper woven out of a few straws, it was quite well formed.

Qin Caisang was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help sighing, reached out and stroked his head, and didn't ask any more questions.
