Idle courtiers

Chapter 93
It's already afternoon time, and it will be dark in a while, so it's a good time to do it.

The Mei family's ancestral grave is located on a small hill fourteen miles outside the city. Now that they are out of the city, when they come back, the city gate will probably be closed.

It seems that he will be living outside the city tonight.

Zhou Nan and Mei Chi were ready to stop, went out, and saw Ah Da and Ah Er still waiting outside.So he ordered: "I have something to go out of the city, I don't think I will come back tonight, and you don't have to follow. By the way, both of you, please go to my house and talk to Yun Niang."

After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage that Miss Mei was riding in.Waiting is heavy physical labor. It is very strenuous to walk for more than ten miles, so save your energy first.

Seeing Zhou Nan and Ms. Mei'er sharing the same car, Lin Ada and Lin Aer were dumbfounded: Aren't the Master and the Mei family sworn enemies? Why did these two get together in just a short while? ?

What a powerful master Zhou, he is really capable of what no one can do!
Sharing a car with a beautiful woman was originally a romantic affair.However, in the sedan chair, Second Miss Mei only held her elder brother's handwritten book and kept reading, tears streaming down her face.This is the only thought left by the eldest brother in this world, and he is reluctant to let it go no matter what.

Zhou Nan sighed, closed his eyes and meditated.

After traveling for half an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the foot of a small hill.

He told the bearers to wait at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Nan carried the hoe, and Miss Mei carried the shovel and went up the mountain.

The hill is covered with pine trees, and the ground is firm without snow, and walking is not tiring.

This mountain originally belonged to a temple in Huai'an City. Back then, the temple simply bought it because it needed to cut wood on the mountain to obtain materials for the construction of the Xiandian.After the main hall was completed, Mei Kang bought it again with a small amount of money.The graves of the ancestors were moved here.In order to facilitate sweeping sacrifices during the Qingming Festival and the Spring Festival, a side road was built on the mountain.

Although it was not dark at this moment, as soon as he walked into the pine forest, his eyes suddenly went dark.There was a cold wind whizzing past the treetops, making people's hair stand on end, Zhou Nan couldn't help tightening his body, and asked, "Second girl, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"I... am not afraid." Despite saying this, Mei Chi's voice was still trembling, and the sound of the upper and lower teeth hitting each other could be clearly heard.

With the remaining ray of skylight, Zhou Nan saw a pale face.

He is notorious as a hungry tiger in Andong County. In fact, thinking about it, he has actually been very self-disciplined since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty.Don't drink too much, don't prostitute or gamble, and if you don't have anything to do every day, go home as soon as possible and live a happy life with Yunniang behind closed doors.The mistake was that she couldn't hold back and slept with Sister Su for a while, but now she is famous, and she couldn't turn it around even if she wanted to.

In fact, Zhou Nan is still a careful and gentle man.

Seeing that Mei Chi was terribly frightened, he comforted him, "Second girl, you don't have to be afraid. All the elders of your Mei family and your dearest brother are buried here. Regardless of whether ghosts and gods say it is true or not, even if there are, They are all your close relatives, so they will come to harm you? Even if they want to seduce their souls, don’t they know how to find that thief Xuanzhen?"

Mei Chi murmured: "Yes, yes, my brother liked me the most as a girl back then. He said he wanted to protect me for the rest of his life. He definitely won't harm me. I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."

Even so, she was a 16-year-old girl after all, and it would be a lie if she was not afraid when she saw the grave in front of her.

Zhou Nan distracted her with words: "The feng shui of your Mei family's ancestral tomb is pretty good, second girl, I remember you are also a book lover, do you know the origin of the word feng shui?"

Mei Chi: "It's about pulse-seeking and Kanyu. Why, there's a history behind it?"

Zhou Nan nodded: "Of course, in fact, in ancient times, death was like passing away, and it was not so particular about burying it in any place. The origin of Feng Shui was first mentioned about the location of the hut. It has nothing to do with the yin house."

Seeing Miss Mei's disbelief, Zhou Nan said: "Fengshui and Fengshui, one refers to wind and the other refers to water. Ordinary people live at home, the most important thing is to eat, drink and drink. If the hut is not in the right place, it will pollute the groundwater. You can’t eat the water. Also, you are eating, and a gust of wind blows the stench from the hut, can’t you survive this day?”

"Therefore, the common people's houses face south, and the huts are placed on the southernmost side. In this way, no matter whether it is the northwest wind in autumn and winter or the southeast wind in spring and summer, it will not directly blow into the house. The smell is naturally gone.”

"This is the earliest feng shui theory, and it only refers to the yin house later."

Mei Chi had never heard of Zhou Nan's words, so she was stunned for a while, and said, "There is another thing to say, Zhou Da... is really profound." After all, whenever Zhou Nan was mentioned in the past ten years, she always talked about Zhou Nan, and suddenly Changing the name to Brother Zhou was a little unaccustomed.

"Haha, do you know my talent?" Zhou Nan was very proud.

"Everyone knew about your talent and learning back then. Especially miscellaneous studies, which are the most outstanding. When the eldest brother was there, he built a small bookstore in the backyard, and you and him often read in it for a whole day. "Speaking of Mr. Mei, Mei Chi's eyes turned red.

Zhou Nan was about to speak when suddenly, the sky darkened in an instant.

Mei Chi flicked the fire a few times, lit a lantern, pointed to a grave in front of him and said, "That's Big Brother."

Then, he sobbed softly.

Zhou Nan and Mei Chi offered sacrifices to Mr. Mei and bowed three times.

He said loudly: "Brother Mei, your death is not clear, and my younger brother has also suffered an injustice for ten years. The second girl and I came here today to use a piece of your bones as evidence to avenge you. Please take care of the place that alarms you."

After all, you lifted the hoe and looked at Mei Chi: "Second girl, can we start?"

Mei Chi gritted her teeth and shoveled down with a shovel: "Start!"

It was said that the two of them worked together, but in fact, Second Miss Mei was a weak woman, she was so tired that she was panting and sweating after only a moment, and Zhou Nan did all the work by herself.

Zhou Nan is in good health, so this kind of work is not a big deal for him. It took less than half an hour to open the tomb of Mr. Mei.It's just that the palms of both hands are burning hot, obviously the skin is worn out.

It turned out that he was quite strong, but because he had never done farm work, thick calluses did not grow on his palms.

When he opened the tomb, he saw a completely decayed coffin in front of him.If you grab it with your hands, it turns into powder.

There is a lot of water in Huai'an. There is a saying in the archaeological circle that it has been dry for thousands of years, wet for thousands of years, and half dry and half wet for only ten years.

Pulling away the sawdust, it was a black skeleton, as black as if it had been dyed with ink, and it was full of dense honeycomb holes, not as white as a ten-year-old skeleton.It can be seen that heavy metals such as lead and mercury have already corroded Mr. Mei's bones.

Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, Mei Chi yelled sadly: "Brother!" The lantern in his hand fell to the ground, and he also fell limply.

Zhou Nan was shocked, subconsciously reached out to support her, and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid!"

"Brother Zhou, I'm not afraid, I'm sad." Mei Chi burst into tears, hugged Zhou Nan's waist, and pressed her face against his chest.It was like at that time ten years ago, every time she was wronged, she would like to throw herself into Brother Zhou's arms.

Brother Zhou smiled gently, and then stretched out his hand to pinch her ears and nose: "Little girl, who bullied you, tell me, and Brother Zhou will avenge you."

That year, Zhou Nan was 16 years old and in his prime.Mei Chi is five years old, with two soaring braids on her head, and the red-headed rope is constantly swinging around her little head.

Mei Chi: "That bastard actually poisoned my elder brother. It's only been ten years, and my elder brother's bones are about to rot. My elder brother died so badly, so miserable... My heart hurts so much."

Tears gushed out like spring water, wetting Zhou Nan's chest.

Being hugged by Mei Chi, Zhou Nan was a little embarrassed, with his hands open, hanging in the air.After a long time, he hugged her tenderly and patted her vest lightly to comfort her.

This feeling has nothing to do with Fengyue, and there is no trace of evil in his heart.

Some are just sad and pity for this little girl.
