When we took a boat from Jinling back to Yangzhou along the river, it was much faster than when Lin Daiyu's master and servant came upstream from Yangzhou more than a year ago because of the smooth wind! Therefore, less than a month later, Lin Daiyu, Xueyan, a certain Xiong, Zijuan and other servants who hurried back after receiving the letter from their seriously ill father, as well as the leader Jia Lian and others, were already staying at Lin Zhai in Yangzhou. It's been a while.
but,
When Lin Ruhai was about to die, he met his own daughter for the last time as he wished. Beside the hospital bed, he saw that his daughter was just as described in his daily correspondence. She was taller and more heroic, and no longer sick and died young as before. After seeing the appearance, he finally stopped insisting, swallowed the burp in one breath, and walked away peacefully. It could even be said that he was carefree, and he no longer looked worried, sad or distressed as before.
Therefore, during this period of time, Lin Zhai naturally needs to wear mourning and prepare for funerals...
However, fortunately, Jia Lian followed, so Lin Daiyu and other female family members did not have to deal with any affairs. Naturally, Jia Lian and the helper Zhaoer and others he brought with him took care of everything inside and out. By the time the first seven days passed, The day before he was about to escort Lin Ruhai's coffin to Suzhou, he had already taken care of all Lin Ruhai's affairs, including money, land deeds, house deeds and other items, as well as the Lin family's relatives who came and asked, and waited for the coffin to be carried tomorrow morning. Ling set off for his hometown in Suzhou.
When Lin Ruhai's coffin is delivered to his hometown in Suzhou, the mission of Master Daiyu, Jia Lian and others to Yangzhou will be completely completed. They will board the ship directly from Suzhou again, go up the river again, and return to several places. Go to Jia's Mansion in Jinling, a hundred miles away!
after all,
Here in Yangzhou, there is no one else in the Lin family. All the irrelevant people and servants have been sent away by Jia Lian in the past few days. Daiyu has completely become an orphan at this time, and she will definitely not be able to stay and take charge of Lin's house. , can only be handed over to a branch of the Lin family to take care of it... In addition, Jia Mu had given many instructions before departure, so after finishing Lin Ruhai's funeral, everyone needed to go back, and Jia Lian did not dare to leave. I asked my cousin to go back alone first.
It's late at night...
At this time, Lin Daiyu was still wearing white linen clothes, and she knelt down beside Lin Ruhai's spiritual place so delicately and silently. Although she had stopped sobbing, her cheeks and eye sockets were still red, and the Snow Goose and Rhododendron were not here at this time. She just stayed here silently with her head lowered, not knowing what was going on in her heart. Think about something.
Suddenly, at this moment, there was a gust of wind, and the wooden door slowly opened with a "clack" sound...
The open wooden door did not see anyone coming in. The white candles and the ever-burning lamp next to the memorial tablet swayed for a while and then were slowly closed. Then, in the room full of pale soul-calling flags, one by one, they gradually swayed and subsided. After coming down, a white, furry little thing turned to Lin Daiyu's side.
It turns out that the person who just pushed in the door was not some sinister ghost, but Tibbers, the little white bear!
When we boarded the ship from Jinling, it almost failed to follow! Because everyone in the Jia Mansion had tried to prevent Lin Daiyu from keeping this auspicious little white bear, but in the end, due to Lin Daiyu's stubborn attitude, everyone in the Jia Mansion felt that she would have to return to the Jia Mansion sooner or later after finishing her work. , so that he didn't force it too much, so that he could follow him again?
"..."
(｡･㉨･｡)
After Tibbers glanced at Lin Daiyu, who was dressed in white and looked even more delicate and delicious, making her want to wash it off and swallow it, he staggered to an empty futon nearby and lay down. Go down.
It was very busy outside just now, so now it needs to rest first to avoid excessive consumption of the body fat that it has worked so hard to gain weight?
"Little Bear..."
"You go back and sleep with Zijuan Xueyan and the others first. I will stay here all night and leave for Suzhou early tomorrow morning. Then in a few days, we can return to Jinling."
Thinking that the other party wanted to accompany her, Lin Daiyu was moved. After not speaking for a day, she finally raised her head and warned the other party with loving and grateful eyes.
Tonight is the last night for her late father Lin Ruhai to rest. Tomorrow, the coffin will board the ship and return to Suzhou. Therefore, she wants to spend the last night with him, so she will not go back to her room to rest... She has already done this before. She told Xueyan and Zijuan, and this is why she is the only one here now.
"snort!"
"No hurry, no hurry! Lin Daiyu, there is something I must tell you now, otherwise tomorrow will be too late!"
(ง˙㉨˙)ว
After rolling on the futon, Tibbs felt that this kind of futon was still not as comfortable as the arms of those shit-shoveling officials. In the end, he had to lie down on his two forelimbs and turned to look at the man who was no longer there. Lin Daiyu is crying again.
"What's going on?"
"Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
Now Daiyu doesn't want to discuss some irrelevant matters. She just wants to stay by her father's memorial tablet, fulfill her last filial duty, and send her father off for his final journey.
"We really can't talk about it tomorrow!"
"Here! Don't say that Ben Xiong is unloyal. I've given you this list. You can take it and do what you want!"
↜(ψ｀㉨′)o☆
With a snap, Tibbers spread out the wad of paper he had been kneading when he came in and photographed it in front of Lin Daiyu. Tibbers squatted aside with some boredom, waiting for the other party's reaction.
"..."
"Why is this, why did you give me this weird list?"
First, I looked at the crumpled paper for a while, and found that there were more than a dozen scarlet names written densely on it, like blood writing, the handwriting was crooked, and there were many red marks of bear paws. ? After knowing that this must have been written by the little bear in front of her, Lin Daiyu asked in confusion.
Because she had no idea what the other party's purpose was in giving her this list, and she didn't feel that now was the time to look at such insignificant things. She just wants to stay here and do nothing else!
"..."
(lll￢ᴥ￢)
"do you know?"
"A few days ago, Ben Xiong has discovered that there is someone secretly staring at your Lin family's house outside, staring at the people coming and going here, and it seems that they have no good intentions? So, Ben Xiong has been paying attention until that guy just now When I ran to report to someone, Ben Xiong followed and overheard, so he went out to capture them, and then finally asked for this list..."
o(*¯ᴥ¯*)o
Tibbers would not tell the other party that it had spent a lot of time working on this list. The two guys it caught were really tough and refused to say anything even if they were beaten to death. No matter how it asks or threatens you, you don't say a word and you are very tough?
In the end, it was impatient and had no choice but to beat the two people to death with its lightning claws, and after catching the other's confused soul, it reluctantly asked what happened.
As for whether the two people should die before taking action, and whether it was possible that they were unjustly accused, Tibbers didn't get too entangled. Anyway, the two people are dead now, so what's the point of thinking so much about it? use? Besides, Tibbs thinks, if it thinks those two people are guilty, then they are guilty! If it thinks they deserve to die, then they deserve to die!
Besides, in the end, it turned out that Uncle Tibbers Bear’s guess was right, and he actually asked him some interesting things.
"But so what?"
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then sighed inwardly and slowly turned her head away.
Obviously, she doesn't care too much about someone monitoring her home or their behavior, because her father has passed away. Tomorrow, they will leave here and take their father's coffin back to their hometown in Suzhou. It is very likely that she will never come back again. Whether they are monitoring her or have other plans, what does it have to do with her, Lin Daiyu?
"..."
(„눈ᴥ눈„)
"My dear Mr. Lin Daiyu, the shit shoveling officer, do you think that your damn dad really died of illness?!"
ε=(´㉨｀●)))Alas
Seeing that the other party did not realize the seriousness of the matter, Tibbs had no choice but to sigh and explain to the other party:
"Ben Xiong has found out for you. This is probably what happened..."
"Your damn daddy..."
"What are you doing looking at Ben Xiong like that? He's already dead. It wasn't Ben Xiong who killed him, and Ben Xiong couldn't save him. It's useless no matter how you look at him. Aren't Ben Xiong allowed to say something? !”
∑(´㉨｀)? !
Realizing that Lin Daiyu, the shit shoveling officer, was staring at him with angry eyes, Tibbers stared back without any politeness before continuing to explain.
"Anyway, you need to know that Ben Xiong has found out for you that your damn dad was slowly poisoned to death, and the people on that list planned and participated in the poisoning of your damn dad. murderer!"
"How about it? Ben Xiong did quite well in this matter, right?"
o(๑´㉨`๑)o
Even if he is not the murderer, he should at least be a participant. As long as he appears on the list, he is definitely not innocent.
"!!"
Sure enough, after hearing the words of her little bear Tibbers, Lin Daiyu, who had always been dumbfounded, was stunned for a moment, and then the expression of disbelief gradually appeared on her face, and the astonished eyes in her eyes began to flash, until she could no longer sit down. Unable to stop himself, he stood up from the futon where he was kneeling and asked in a hurried and stern tone:
"Little Bear! Are you sure?!"
"But...but why did they do that?!"
This kind of thing is unimaginable to Lin Daiyu, who is just over eleven years old and almost twelve years old! Anyway, she couldn't figure it out. Why did those people insist on poisoning her father?
Could it be that this was the reason why her father insisted on her leaving Yangzhou the year before last and persuaded her to join her grandmother in Rongguo Mansion in Jinling?
"too easy!"
"Because your bastard father is deeply trusted by the emperor and serves as the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor. He is a fat man and there are many jealous people!"
"besides!"
"Your damn old man is too stubborn. He refuses to cooperate with others or stand in line. He has hindered many people's wealth. How can others not kill him? It's a good thing you're not in Yangzhou, otherwise you wouldn't be alive. !”
↜(ψ｀㉨′)o
In Tibbers' opinion, it is very likely that Lin Daiyu, the wife of a shit shoveler, was poisoned to death! Of course, in the end, it didn't make random guesses about things that were baseless, because the only things it asked were the ones it just said, and that's how the list came out. It was said that it involved Many dignitaries from Yangzhou and some nobles from Jinling?
But Tibbs was not in the mood to care about who those people were. He only knew that they were involved in the matter of poisoning Lin Daiyu's damn father, and that was fine!
"this……"
"This...how is this possible?!"
Standing blankly in her father's mourning hall, Lin Daiyu, who was dressed in white and still looked a little thin and frail, was stunned. She just opened her eyes wide and looked at the wrinkled face on the ground. list, my mind is blank, I don’t know what to do now, or what to do.
She did not doubt the authenticity of what the little bear said, nor did she ask how the other party knew it. However, she knew that her little bear would never lie to her, let alone such a serious matter. Got it!
only……
No matter how smart she is, she is just a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. She has little experience and is not familiar with the world. Even if she knows that her father was killed by someone, she is now What can I do?
"..."
"Little Bear, tell me, what should I do?"
Lin Daiyu, who had been dazed for a long time, finally came to her senses until the sound of the clock outside sounded. She leaned over and tremblingly picked up the wrinkled and light list, but it was extremely heavy in her eyes. Lin Daiyu scanned it. After hearing the shocking names above, she finally asked with her heart trembling.
"What do you mean?"
"Anyway, the funeral here has been taken care of. Your cousin Jia Lian said he will leave for Suzhou tomorrow, so you should still have one night!"
ʕᓀᴥᓂʔ
What else can we do? According to the list, just kill the copycats and do it! Tibbers didn't find anything difficult to do with such a simple and straightforward matter.
"One night?"
Looking down at the little bear at her feet, Lin Daiyu didn't know what the other party meant.
"Why are you so stupid!"
"Of course I will spend one night to take revenge! Don't you want to go to Suzhou tomorrow?!"
(„눈ᴥ눈„)
"!!"
"R-Revenge? Yes! I want to help my father get revenge, but what should I do?"
She was startled, and looked at the list in her hand again. Finally, Lin Daiyu came to her senses, and she knew the purpose of her little bear in finding this list. However, she was a little embarrassed about how to take revenge, because apart from practicing swordsmanship with Xueyan and talking about female red poetry with the sisters in Rongguo Mansion, she seemed to know nothing else?
"Of course... kill all those people on the list!"
ꉂʕᓀꇴᓂʔ!
"What?!"
"No! I, I can't do it..."
Lin Daiyu was startled by a certain Xiong's murderous words on the spot, and subconsciously took a step back. You know, she has practiced swordplay for the past two years, mostly just to strengthen her body and have something to do. She has never dared to think that she could kill people.
"If you can't do it, your two years of sword practice will be in vain!"
(๑¯㉨¯๑)
"But, I, I really can't do it..."
Lin Daiyu took a step back again, and then subconsciously looked at her father's memorial tablet. Looking at the solid coffin and the soul-calling flags on it, she couldn't help but tremble a little at the crumpled list in her hand.
"!!"
"If it doesn't work, go back and cry hard! Then go back to Suzhou with your cousin tomorrow. Don't practice any more in the future. Just follow the example of others in your Jia family and do embroidery well, and wait until you get married and have a child." Be human!”
(„눈ᴥ눈„)
Tibbers was a little impatient.
You know, it had a hard time getting that list, and it even stained one of its paws with blood, but the result was that the other party behaved like this, which really disappointed it!
"..."
"But, can I really do this?"
During the wake, Lin Daiyu had cried enough. Now, she felt more anger than sadness in her heart, and she would definitely not be able to cry!
However, now that Little Bear asked her to kill someone, even if it was her enemy, she was still a little frightened, because she had never dared to think about such a thing in the past.
"..."
"What do you think?!"
↜(ψ｀㉨′)o
After all, the other party has been practicing swordsmanship for more than a year or nearly two years, and it is still the immortal sword technique passed down from the Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuangguan. Although it is not yet able to fly through the clouds or mist or with a sword, it can be practiced during daily practice. It's easy to dodge, move around, climb over walls, etc., so if they can't deal with those mortals after practicing for so long, they might as well stop practicing. Tibbers is a bit I can't afford to lose that bear!
"I……"
"What should I do now?!"
After hesitating for a while, and turning to look at the tomb of her father Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu finally seemed to have figured it out. While her eyes gradually became firm, she turned to look at the person standing in front of her. A little bear who is just like a little adult.
"It's easy!"
"Change into black clothes, cover your face, and then take your sword and set off with Ben Xiong! It will be dawn soon, and you don't have much time!"
ʕᓀ㉨ᓂʔ
"good!"
"Little Bear! I will listen to you!!"
After carefully receiving the list into her arms, Lin Daiyu, who was less than twelve years old, first took a deep breath, and finally stared at the memorial tablet in front of the everlasting lamp for a while, then she gritted her teeth and said: She picked up a certain bear, then walked to the back of the hall in the night, quickly walked to the Lin family's backyard, and walked to her own room...
