I still remember the king's heart

When Su Ming came back, Hua Ying disappeared into the rain and mist again. She got on the horse and stretched out her hand to Sang Yu with her normal expression.

On the other side, Yue Xinyao also drove Chasing Wind over and stopped in front of her, with a hand that was also well-articulated.

Uh... Sang Yu took a step back, glanced at Su Ming, and saw that she didn't intend to explain to herself at all, so she pursed her lips tightly.

Zhuifeng snorted and stamped the horse's hooves on the ground, as if urging her to go up, Yue Xinyao's lips curled up in joy, but the next moment it turned into ice.

Su Ming directly put his arms around her waist, and put him on the horse's back. Before Sang Yu could react, she reined in the reins and walked away.

There was a moment of panic in her heart, which made her tighten the mane on the bay red horse's neck, and her face turned pale.

Su Ming's eyebrows and eyes were cold, his arms wrapped around her waist to hold her tightly in his arms, and the breeze lifted the hair on her forehead. Although she didn't say a word, Sang Yu clearly felt that she was angry.

Is it because I hesitated just now?

There was a sweet arc on her lips, and she leaned into the arms of the man behind her with confidence.

Su Ming froze, wanted to stay away but was afraid that she would not sit still and fall, so he had to let her go.

"Destiny" Sang Yu whispered.

Su Ming slightly raised his chin as an answer.

"Suming~" The consonant rises slightly, as if acting like a baby.

Su Ming pursed his lips, but still ignored her.

"Husband~" Sang Yu's voice was soft and waxy, and she called again softly.

"Mmm..." Su Ming's lips finally softened a little, and he responded.

"You're jealous" is an affirmative sentence, not a question sentence.

Su Ming's arms encircling her froze, he lowered his head to look at the handsome profile of the person in his arms, and unexpectedly agreed.

"Well, stay away from her"

Sang Yu lowered her head and looked at the clumps of green bamboo embroidered with gold thread on her cuffs, which she embroidered stitch by stitch.

"Then you, shouldn't you also stay away from Huaying?"

Not only because of the face that is exactly like that of Master Suming, but also because of the shallow affection in Huai's eyes, she is someone who has been there before, so how could she not understand.

"Last time I hurt you by mistake." Su Ming paused, thinking about it still had lingering fears.

"There just happened to be a herb that could save you, so I asked for it, and there was nothing else."

She closed her eyes slightly, making her tone sound as calm as usual.

Su Ming is a man of few words, and he never likes to explain too much to others, but he would say this to her, Sang Yu felt relieved and moved.

"Um"

Poplar flowers are flying all over the shoulders, horseshoes are rattling, there are close friends and lovers by your side, the most beautiful thing is two people and one horse, tomorrow is the end of the world.

Different from Yangzhou, Lin'an is more delicate and graceful, with white walls and black tiles, bluestone alleys, small bridges and flowing water, people with black awnings, swaying awning boats, and the sound of oars, going down the river.

It is the beautiful scenery in July, the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun.

Sang Yu leaned over to pick off a lotus pod, the boat shook slightly, and Su Ming grabbed her tightly.

"Be careful"

The fragrance of lotus seeds came from the nose, which was refreshing. Sang Yu took a deep breath and smiled coquettishly, "I haven't been here for many years, but the fragrance is still the same."

It is also the taste of hometown.

"Girl, where are you going?" The boatman slowed down and asked as the waterways ahead criss-crossed.

"Chang'an Street, the old house of the Sang family"

The boatman was taken aback, and then shook his oar again, "The location is good, but nowadays, fewer and fewer people go there. Since the Sang family was destroyed ten years ago, the government has not said anything yet." The boatman looked back at them again.

"That place, after all, more than 100 people died, and it's very dark, the girl is going..."

Sang Yu lowered her eyes, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Su Ming held her hand in his own, and answered for her: "It's just walking around."

It turned out that foreigners came to visit the mountains and rivers, which is not surprising, after all, the Sang family was also a wealthy family that was very prosperous back then.

When mentioning the Sang family, the boatman talked a lot, "Speaking of the Sang family, I also received their favor at that time. The snowstorm in the south of the Yangtze River made no crops, and the streets were full of refugees. At that time, the Sang family was in..." He paused, as if he couldn't remember where he gave porridge to help the refugees.

"It's the Guanyin Temple in the south of the city," Sang Yu answered subconsciously.

The boatman was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "How does this girl know?"

Although she looks plainly dressed, her appearance is not like that of a lady from a poor family.

Sang Yu forced a smile, and looked through the twilight at the faintly visible green tile railing in the distance.

"I have also been favored by the Sang family"

And it's a gift of nurturing.

"It's here." The boatman docked the boat, anchored it and fixed it.

Su Ming helped her get off the boat, and when the boatman was about to guide them, Sang Yu had already walked forward.

He shook his head and muttered: "It's really weird, but although the Sang family's house is gone, the stone lion in front of the door is very easy to recognize."

Stepping on the familiar bluestone slabs, the courtyard wall has been left unattended for a long time, and it has been covered with ivy. The desolate and dilapidated scene along the way, until seeing the burnt black and dilapidated gate, Sang Yu finally covered her lips. , Tears rolled in the eyes.

Su Ming came up from behind her, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Sang Yu shook her head, "Fortunately, my mother died early and was not slaughtered."

More than 100 lives, what kind of injustice did she do at the beginning, which caused her to be displaced all her life, it's not that she doesn't regret it, she can only treat her better.

"Suming, do you want to visit my mother?"

If my mother had a spirit in heaven, she would be relieved to see that she was not alone.

Su Ming nodded and held her hand tightly, "OK"

"An unfaithful woman is not eligible to enter the ancestral grave after death, and my mother can only make a hasty coffin." Paper money was flying all over the sky, and Sang Yu slowly knelt in the mud, "There is no monument and no tomb, but fortunately my aunt also with her"

The two tombs in the mass grave are so close to each other that if you don't look carefully, you can hardly tell them apart, so they are inseparable.

"Your mother and your aunt are serious?" Su Ming put his hand on her shoulder and gave her silent encouragement.

Sang Yu came back to her senses and nodded, "Well, my aunt has loved me very much since I was a child. My father does business all the year round, and my aunt is always with me and my mother at home. At that time, I thought it was my aunt who favored me, but never I thought it was because of my mother."

Su Ming also knelt down upright beside her, and the younger generation saw the great gift of the elder.

"Junior Suming, it is my honor to have the same heart with Sang Yu. I hereby promise the two elders that I will keep her safe for the rest of my life and never leave her. If I have done any stupid things in the past, Suming will apologize here." She put her head on the On the yellow mud floor, with a pious posture and a pun.

Sang Yu's eyes gradually got wet, "Destiny..."

Such a proud fate, I brought her here just to show my mother and aunt, I didn't expect her to make an oath.

The sky gradually darkened, and jackdaws wailed from time to time, adding to the coldness, fog filled the forest, Su Ming got up and pulled her up from the ground.

"Let's go back"

Sang Yu nodded, and obediently let her lead her to walk back.

A shrill meow sounded close at hand, causing goosebumps all over the body, Sang Yu felt a chill on his legs, screamed out loud, and clung to Su Ming's arm tightly.

"What... what..." It's not that she is not afraid of mass graves.

Suming held Hanguang in his hand, pulled her behind him, and said coldly, "Who?!"

A light suddenly lit up in the dark forest. It was not like the phosphorescent light that is common in graveyards, but the blurred light from the red lanterns, which made people even more frightened.

A thin layer of cold sweat oozed out of Sang Yu's palm, Su Ming turned his head and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid"

Feeling relieved somehow, Sang Yu nodded.

From the depths of the forest, a haggard old woman gradually walked out. Her body was hunched over, her face could not be seen clearly, and she was holding a black cat in her arms.

"The old woman's cat accidentally disturbed the two of you, I'm really sorry." The voice was also astringent, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Su Ming retracted the sword back to its sheath, and pulled her back.

"Who are you from the Sang family?"

Sang Yu's footsteps faltered, and she turned her head to look at the old woman. It happened that the old woman raised the lantern in her hand. Sang Yu's face was pale, and she took a few steps back.

The old woman actually had a deep bony scar on her face, the skin and flesh were turned out, covered with brown scabs, which looked particularly terrifying.

Su Ming pursed her lips, not caring that Sang Yu was still turning her head frequently, and quickly dragged her out of the mass grave.

When she walked to the street, Sang Yu was still in a state of anxiety, and her mind was in a mess. That old woman knew that she was from the Sang family and where her mother and aunt were buried. Who could she be?

There is also the reaction of Sui Ming, who seems to be a little flustered in the worry...

Su Ming suddenly stopped, and Sang Yu couldn't dodge and bumped into her back, rubbing his nose and crying for pain.

"There is a pastry seller there, you wait for me here"

When I came back, I had a paper bag in my hand, and when I opened it, it was still a warm Gorgon fruit cake.

Twist a piece of mulberry elm and put it in your mouth. It is sweet but not greasy. It is the favorite taste of childhood.

"How do you know that I like to eat the Gorgon fruit cake?"

Su Ming was taken aback, she had eaten the cakes from that shop when she came to An, and they tasted good, so she subconsciously went to buy them.

"As long as it's sweet, what don't you like?"

The curvature of the corners of her lips was the same as before, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Sang Yu also picked up a piece of gorgon cake and put it into her mouth, "Su Ming, I think that old woman is so strange, I want to go back and have a look."

As soon as the words finished, Su Ming frowned slightly, swallowed the pastry reluctantly, and coughed twice.

Sang Yu suddenly became nervous, and patted her on the back to comfort her, "What's wrong?"

"Cold..." The thin lips parted slightly, and a word came out.

Sang Yu suddenly panicked, helped her to walk forward, and said anxiously, "Okay, okay, let's go back to the inn"

Fortunately, Yue Xinyao also came along this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

When Su Ming lowered his eyes, the hair on his forehead covered up the flash of apology in his eyes.

Sorry, she can only use this method to deceive the kind-hearted Sang Yu, but did anything else slip through the net back then?

It seems that this matter needs to be investigated carefully.
