Hidden Sky Light - Chapter 62

Shen Ci slept very early that night. After bathing and washing, he lay on the bed with his head in his hands, looking at the top of the bed, as if remembering many things from his childhood.

Some excited, some warm, and can not sleep.

It’s good to go home, he hasn’t been home for many years, and nothing seems to have changed at home.

Big brother, sister-in-law, Shan Hai, Uncle He, and dad is getting old again…

He made Dad worry too much.

Shen Ci remembered drinking at night, and the sentence his father mentioned about proposing marriage, Shen Ci sighed softly in his throat, how would he tell his father, and his father would be relieved…

He and A Ling are very good, but he can’t marry her.

Shen Ci slowly closed his eyes.

The chaos of King Tan was over, but the turmoil in the court was still unsettled. After seeing his father and brother and the mountains and seas, he stopped in his heart and began to think about Chen Ling and A Nian again.

Humans are greedy.

But for a long time, he is not used to…

Different from when Chen Ling and A Nian were together.

He misses them, misses…

***

Chen Ling read the book a few times before the case.

It was very easy to put A Nian to sleep with the sentence “Sleep, Shen Ci misses you too”, and now she has time to go through the papers presented by Nanbian.

This is the case with children sometimes, when they suddenly miss someone, they keep thinking that they can’t make it through.

She was the chief supervisor earlier, and Momma Fang told him that the chief supervisor had returned to his hometown. He said that he was reluctant to part with the chief supervisor and cried for a long time. She didn’t know how to comfort her…

She is different from Fang Mo, and some words can’t be said.

But just now Ah Nian wanted to say Shen Ci, so he lay on the bed and showed her how he and Uncle Shen practiced using the small wooden sword…

A Nian cares if Shen Ci misses him too.

She knows how it feels.

Shen Ci is gentle, considerate, and not rigid. He will take care of people and make people feel at peace…

Chen Ling continued to look at Zhezi. When Shen Ci was away, she looked at it more. When he came back, she would have to toss again and again…

The corner of Chen Ling’s mouth slightly raised.

The lamp on the table was on, and the hour had passed, and the inner courtier bowed his hands outside the house, “Your Majesty.”

The lights were on, even though His Majesty had not rested.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Ling didn’t look up. Tonight is not Qishan’s night, and the inner courtier next to her can’t make up her mind, so she must ask everything clearly, “Your Majesty, Lord Luo Yi is here.”

Chen Ling was surprised and looked at the copper pot on the side of the drip. It had been a long time, and she was going to sleep.

“Let him come in, wait for me in the outer cabinet.”

“Yes.” The waiter responded.

In the inner room, Chen Ling got up, stretched out his hand to tie the blue silk, then reached out and took the outer robe on one side and put it on, then lifted the curtain and went out of the inner room.

“How’s it going?” Chen Ling took a seat on one side with a calm tone.

There was someone kneeling in the outer cabinet and slowly raised his head, “Your Majesty, Lei Gengsheng went to Qucheng at last, but after that, there was no trace of Lei Gengsheng. There was a fire in Qucheng at that time…”

Chen Ling was stunned, Qucheng, the fire?

She let Chen Xiuyuan go to Chaqu City earlier, that was the earliest time.

– Coincidentally, a few days ago, there was a fire in the city of Qucheng, and many people were burned to death.

——This matter is probably not simple, but it doesn’t look like what Tan Jin did. If there is any trace to be concealed, it will be set on fire. Qucheng has secrets, but right now, they should not be able to find out.

Lei Gengsheng went to Qucheng, and then there was no trace, and a fire broke out in Qucheng…

Chen Ling raised her brows slowly, and remembered what Shen Ci said earlier.

——Harmiya appeared in Licheng, Huaicheng, Qucheng, and Yaocheng respectively… I didn’t see these cities together before, A Ling, look, how many of these The road between the cities is not easy. Harmiya didn’t go to these places because of escaping, nor did he go to these places for no reason. He shouldn’t be so familiar with Yan Hanzhong. he went to…

Chen Ling felt more and more that there were many people and things involved behind this incident. I’m afraid it was far more than what he saw right now, and it seemed like the tip of the iceberg.

Tan Jin’s incident was not accidental, but was forced into a corner, so he knew it was a knife, but he also made a knife.

Harmiya is a foreigner, even if he knows Tan Jin’s secret, he may not be able to hold Tan Jin down.

Lei Gengsheng was the former prince’s grandfather, and there was also a swaying Chen Xian in the middle. Chen Xian alone could not make waves…

Chen Ling said in a low voice, “Check, continue to check, everyone related to Lei Gengsheng will check.”

Luo Yi handed over, “Yes!”

“Go out.” Chen Ling said in a deep voice.

Luo Yi withdrew, but Chen Ling’s face did not soften, and he whispered, “Bring the tea.”

A waiter answered.

Chen Ling picked up the tea cup and sat in the outer cabinet for a long time.

***

“Xingyun…” Mr. Gu didn’t wake up, so he had to call again, “Xingyun?”

But Shen Ying was still in a nightmare, until Gu Shi had to push him from Shenshui, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up with his hands up, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, his mouth was still breathing heavily, and he looked like he was still in shock…

For a long time, the mood has not eased from the moment.

“Xingyun?” Mrs Gu looked at him with worry in her eyes, “Are you having a nightmare?”

Shen Ying seemed to have just regained his senses. While slowly nodding to his wife, he said in a hoarse voice, “It’s a nightmare, didn’t it scare you?”

Gu shook his head and said softly, “No, I’m just worried about you.”

Shen Ying also shook her head and said gently, “I’m fine, you go to bed first, I’ll wash your face.”

Mrs Gu nodded, “I don’t need to be with you?”

Shen Ying shook her head again, “No need, you go to bed first, it’s still early, don’t bother.”

Gu Shi was also sleepy, then nodded, and then lay down.

Shen Ying leaned over to put on her shoes, then got out of the bed and tucked the quilt for her, “Sleep first, don’t wait for me.”

Gu Shi was sleepy, and he was stupefied. Soon, the sound of peaceful breathing came.

Shen Ying felt terrified.

It was just a nightmare for him.

But it’s not a dream either.

Because what he dreamed about was from earlier events, and the earlier events were like nightmares, haunting him over and over again.

In the Qucheng Inn, there was a huge fire that filled the sky.

He thought he was going to be burned to death in the inn.

In the fire, the teacher laughed like crazy, “I’m exhausted, I’m exhausted, hahahaha.”

“Teacher!” He wanted to save people.

But the teacher pushed him away, “It’s ridiculous, Xingyun, my fame in this life has been used by others to make wedding gowns for others, lead wolves into the room, and finally end up in the company of this little kid!”

“Teacher! Let’s get out of here first, and let’s talk about other things!” He was nervous.

If it goes on like this, you will be burned to death!

The inn will collapse.

But the teacher can’t care about so much anymore, “Burn it, burn it all! Burn all these traces! Xingyun, you go!”

“Teacher!” He tried to pounce to save him, but the charred beam fell.

“Teacher!” His eyes were red, but he couldn’t do anything else, “Ah!!”

He wanted to step forward, but the surrounding area of ​​the inn kept collapsing, and burning wood hit his back, scorching a piece.

…

Shen Ying lowered her eyes, as if her breathing had stopped.

The injury on the back is not yet healed. After washing my face, it still hurts.

There was no one else in the ear room. He slowly took off his clothes, revealing a scorched piece on his back, and the wound was oozing blood. He could only apply a little medicine, but it couldn’t be applied. The burn mixed with the knife wound was not easy to heal. The doctor is watching.

If you have to wait for Zi’an to leave, you can’t let others know.

–elder brother.

Shen Ying held her hands in front of the bronze mirror, her mind filled with nightmarish voices.

——Shen Xingyun, you Yanhan people have a saying, you don’t turn back when you open your bow, do you want the entire Shen family to be buried with you?

–What do you want?

– Make a deal with you, Shen Xingyun, I need a guide in Yanhan.

Shen Ying slowly immersed her head in the water, bit by bit, holding her breath.

It seemed like this stopped the thoughts in his mind.

Harmia is like a blood-sucking leech. As long as Harmia is still alive, he will be in a panic, just like Tan Jin back then…

Shen Ying held her breath to the point where she was suffocating, then raised her head from the water basin and swallowed softly in her throat.

***

When he woke up the next day, Shen Ci had already practiced with Shen Fengshi in Shen Fengshi’s garden.

“Father, your legs and feet are not good, I’ll let you?” Shen Ci smiled.

Shen Fengshi was annoyed, “Stinky boy, who said that! Your father should be strong, come here.”

Shen Ci stepped forward to fight with Shen Fengshi. Shen Fengshi had a leg injury. Shen Ci knew it, but it would not make Shen Fengshi feel obvious. He only complained that he was also injured, and he was not yet healed, and he couldn’t use strength in many places.

Shen Fengshi smiled and said, “Come again.”

The father and son started early in the morning. Shen Ci was afraid that his father would be tired, so he tried to rest as long as possible, so Shen Fengshi did not feel tired.

It has been at home for a long time, but this time is the most relaxing time to move your legs and feet.

When Shen ushered in the courtyard, Uncle He had been watching for a long time, “The uncle is here.”

He Bo shook his hands at him.

Shen Ying nodded, and looked at Yuanzhong’s father and younger brother, and stopped for a while, “Father and Zi’an practiced here early in the morning?”

Uncle He said with a smile, “Yeah, it’s rare for the second master to come back, and the master is happy.”

Shen Ying followed with a smile, “Yeah, Dad wants to be at ease.”

Uncle He looked at Shen Ying again, “Master, you look tired.”

Shen Ying said gently, “I didn’t sleep well last night, I’ll be fine the next day.”

Between the words, I heard the laughter behind me again, “Dad~”

Shen Ying turned around, and Xiao Wu, who was beside Shen Ci, led the horse to the front. Shan Hai sat on the pony. Compared with last night, he was obviously skilled today, and he was not too afraid. Xiao Wu didn’t need to hold him with one hand, but watched. Follow him, stay awake, and lead the horse.

The two stepped forward from a distance, and Shen Ying couldn’t help but smile.

Uncle He also smiled and said, “Young master also woke up early, and asked Xiao Wu to take him to ride a horse early in the morning. He liked it very much.”

“Father~” Shan Hai was still calling him.

Shen Ying nodded, “Slow down.”

Uncle He stroked his beard and said with a smile, “As soon as the second master came back, the house became very lively.”

Shen Ying paused, “Yes…”

He Bo sighed, “Master definitely hopes that the second master will stay at home for a long time.”

Shen Ying didn’t answer.

When Xiao Wu led the foal forward, Mrs Gu also happened to come to Yuanzhong.

“Have you been happy today?” Gu Shi smiled and looked at the mountains and seas.

Shan Hai couldn’t help nodding, “I’m happy~”

Gu said with a smile, “If you’re happy, you have to change your clothes. You’re sweating all over. Be careful of the cold. Your second uncle won’t let you ride a horse.”

Shan Hai quickly sat up straight, “Change, change!”

He Bo couldn’t help laughing.

He Bozhao looked at the mountains and seas, and Shen Ci and Shen Fengshi just stopped, and Gu Shi and Shen Ying stepped forward.

Mrs Gu brought water to their father and son.

Shen Ci wiped his sweat and smiled, “Thank you, sister-in-law!”

Shen Fengshi’s eyes were full of smiles, “I haven’t practiced like this for a long time, let’s practice again before leaving.”

Shen Ci said with a smile, “Father, you grow old and strong, I can’t do it anymore, I’m still injured, I can’t compare to you!”

Shen Fengshi laughed loudly.

Shen Ying didn’t expose Shen Ci’s flattery. When Mrs. Gu handed the towel to Shen Feng, Shen Ci looked at Shen Ying and saw that his dark circles were hanging on his face, so he drank water and said, “Brother, show me you. hurt.”

Shen Ying shied away, “No need, it’s a trivial matter, I won’t bother you anymore.”

Knowing that he was joking, Shen Ci laughed along with him, then put his hand around his shoulder, and said with a smile, “Look, you have been in the army for a long time, and you can see any wound. Are you afraid of pain?”

Shen Ying nodded, “Well, I’m afraid of pain.”

Mrs Gu also turned around and looked at him a little worriedly, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been hurt, let Zi’an take a look.”

Shen Yingdao said, “The doctor will be here soon, and Zi’an will only be back. I’ll take you with my father for a while.”

Gu smiled.

Shen Ci sighed, “Brother, why are you always avoiding me?”

Shen Ying sneered, “Who avoided you?”

“Isn’t there?” Shen Ci looked at him inquisitively, “clearly avoiding me…”

Shen Ying seemed to suddenly realize, “Oh, that’s because you are annoying.”

Shen Ci smiled.

Just as Uncle He stepped forward, “Master, the doctor is here.”

The doctor is here…

Shen Ci inexplicably let go.

Shen Ying confessed, “You are with your father, I will come to you later.”

“Okay.” Shen Ci responded.

There is a doctor to see, it will be fine…

Shen Ci retracted his gaze.

***

In the garden, the doctor changed Shen Ying’s medicine.

Shen Ying’s bodyguards stood guard outside the garden, preventing others from approaching. There were only Shen Ying and the doctor in the room.

It took a lot of time to change the dressing, and Shen Ying’s forehead was sweating.

The doctor sighed, “It’s fortunate that it’s not summer, otherwise the wound will be infected with pus, which would be difficult to handle…”

Shen Ying let out a long sigh of relief, but the pain in her back was still there.

This is a doctor he can trust, and his tone is strict, and he dare not let others see it.

The doctor said again, “Master, but you can’t take this injury lightly. Earlier, it was a burn, but later the burn was not healed, and then the wound was wounded. This wound is so long, it should be a weapon to bring back the hook, and it is not easy to heal.”

Shen Ying gritted her teeth, “It’s okay, try your best, and don’t let others know about this.”

The doctor replied, “Madam asked.”

Shen Ying said, “Don’t talk too much, how long will it take for the injury to heal?”

The doctor thought for a while, “If you cherish it every day, it will be better in half a month.”

Shen Ying said in a deep voice, “Then you come every day, the sooner the better.”

The doctor nodded and hesitated again, “But the burn on the back is probably only a few days from Madam.”

Shen Ying said, “We’ll talk about it later.”

***

For two consecutive days, Shen Ci practiced with Shen Fengshi together.

The two had bathed separately just now, and now they are drinking tea in one place, Shen Fengshi is happy, “It’s convenient to be in Beijing now, go home often, if you’re afraid of proposing, we’ll propose later, when will you take your father to the border and see The girl you love.”

border?

Shen Ci suddenly understood, Dad thought he met at the border…

It is no wonder that he has been in Licheng for the past four years.

Shen Ci was still thinking about what to say, and Shen Fengshi approached, “Zi’an, your mother passed away early, and father is concerned about this.”

Seeing Shen Fengshi’s look of hope, Shen Ci was stunned, and said softly, “There is a chance.”

Shen Fengshi smiled contentedly.

Uncle He waited for Shen Fengshi to take medicine, and Shen resigned from Yuanzhong.

Gu just brought Shanhai, Shanhai had just taken a bath in the morning, and it was fragrant now.

“Second Uncle!” Shan Hai rushed forward.

Shen Ci hugged him, “Have you taken a bath?”

He nodded.

“Zi’an.” Mrs Gu also stepped forward.

“Sister-in-law.” Shen Ci nodded in greeting.

Mrs Gu said towards Shanhai, “You are with your second uncle. Mother, go get some things.”

Mountains and seas should be good.

Xiao Wu brought the pony, and Shen Ci hugged him and sat on him. Today, Shen Ci was not with Shen Fengshi, so he patiently taught Shan Hai, “Shan Hai, you need to hold the reins like this to be firm. Let’s see what the second uncle does.”

Shan Hai looked at it seriously, “Is this the case with the second uncle?”

Shen Ci touched his head, “You’re smart, you learn so fast.”

Shan Hai smiled, “Second uncle, if you have a son in the future, you must be naughty.”

Shen Ci was stunned, then smiled, “Why?”

Shan Haidao, “Because my father told me yesterday, Second Uncle, you were naughty when you were young.”

Shen Ci sighed, “That’s not necessarily, maybe it’s quieter than you…”

Shan Haidao, “That’s like a second aunt!”

Shen Ci patted his head again, “Second Uncle found that you are very smart~”

Shan Hai smiled, “Shameless! You still have a second aunt!”

Shen Ci was stunned, “Who taught you!”

Shan Hai smiled and looked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu scratched his head, “I didn’t say it, I mean that the general always said that he was gentle and elegant, isn’t this… what is that?”

Shen Ci patted his head.

“It hurts!” Xiao Wu covered his head.

Gu just turned back and said, “Zi’an, I have prepared some of your favorite food when you were a child, eat on the road.”

Shen Ci took it, all of which were Ancheng’s specialty snacks, Shen Ci was grateful, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”

The mother died early, and the elder sister-in-law was like a mother.

Mrs Gu said again, “Either Licheng or Beijing, take care of yourself.”

Shen Ci nodded.

Xiaowu took Shanhai to walk the horse again, and Shen Ci was with Gu.

Gu shi said warmly, “Do you have a favorite girl?”

Shen Ci blushed, “Who said that?”

Mrs Gu whispered, “Father can’t wait to tell the world.”

Shen Ci sighed in his heart.

Mrs Gu said again, “Settle down early.”

Shen Ci was dumbfounded.

Gu shi covered his sleeves and laughed. He really liked it, and that’s why he was so dumbfounded.

Just as Shen Ci seemed to remember something, he asked again, “By the way, sister-in-law, what’s the matter with brother’s injury?”

Speaking of this, Mrs Gu sighed, “Originally, he wouldn’t let others talk about it. He encountered a robber on the way back from his mother and was injured. It seems that he is recovering very slowly.”

Robbers? Shen Ci was stunned, “Has the reporter caught it?”

Mr. Gu shook his head, “No, your elder brother said that there will be troubles, try to make troubles as little as possible.”

Shen Ci did not speak.

Mrs Gu sighed again, “I heard that the **** was successful this time, but it almost cost him his life. Be at ease and be careful in everything.”

Shen Ci nodded, “Understood, sister-in-law.”

Xiao Wu led the foal and passed by again, Shan Hai giggled on the horse’s back.

Children have the innocence of children.

Shen Ci looked at the mountains and seas, thinking of A Nian sitting on the back of a horse in a trance…

Shen Ci’s mouth twitched slightly.

Mrs Gu was on the side just now and didn’t speak for a while. Together with Shen Ci, they watched the pony go round in front of her. Mrs Gu had a smile on her face at first, but then she slowly frowned.

Shen Ci just happened to see it, “Sister-in-law, what’s the matter?”

Gu Shi came back to his senses, shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.”

“But where’s the discomfort?” Shen Ci was concerned.

Mrs Gu was not going to say it, but when Shen Ci asked, Mrs Gu said again, “Zi’an, I always feel that there is something in my heart that is not at ease. This time, your brother often has nightmares at night, and when you ask him, he says it’s fine, and he always feels that something is wrong. weird……”

Shen Ci was surprised and asked again, “Is it the case of the robbers before?”

Gu shi shook his head, “I don’t know, I was worried before whether it was the robber’s incident that cast a shadow on him, but it doesn’t look like it. Talk to him more.”

Shen Ci took a deep breath and said with his arms around his arms, “I wanted to find time to be with my eldest brother several times in the past two days, but I always felt that when I came back this time, my eldest brother was avoiding me, and I wanted to ask my sister-in-law, but what happened? thing?”

Gu shi comforted, “Zi’an, it has nothing to do with you, it’s because he has something in his heart. I’ll take the time to ask again. It’s rare for you to be at home and spend more time with them.”

Shen remarks should be fine.

It was only at the end of the day that Shen Ci asked again, “Sister-in-law, I heard Uncle He say that the elder brother went back to the house with you this time, but what happened to the Gu family?”

Gu replied, “Not really, it was my mother who missed me, and it was hard to say, so Xingyun said that she was not in good health, so Xingyun took me there. It’s a long way to shake the city, and on the way back, I still Encountered robbers.”

Shaking the city… Shen Ci was slightly stunned, “The Gu family is shaking the city?”

Gu said with a smile, “Earlier, my family moved to Yaocheng. You don’t know what happened in the past two years…”

Shen Ci just came back to his senses.

It’s just that when I first heard the word “Shaocheng”, I couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Mrs Gu sighed, “It’s been a lot of hard work, and there are so many chores at home, so he accompanied me to Yaocheng again. He went to Dianzhou earlier, and came back from Dianzhou without stopping. .”

Shen Ci was stunned again, Dianzhou?

Near Qucheng?

These places, when he looked at the map earlier, couldn’t be more impressed, Shen Ci was surprised, “What is he going to do in Dianzhou?”

Gu said, “My classmate has something to help with at home, so I have to go.”

Seeing him puzzled, Mrs Gu said, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Ci smiled, “Nothing.”

My brother was studying in Beijing earlier, and his classmates were from all over the world. It was not surprising that one or two were in Dianzhou.

He was stunned…

Shen Ci lowered his eyes.

…

Leaving tomorrow, Shen Ci accompanied his father to talk late, and then sat on his knees in the warm pavilion in the garden, without returning to the house.

Xiao Wu stepped forward and sat on another stone bench in the warm pavilion, “General, why are you still not sleeping?”

Shen Ci looked at him, put his head in his hands, then stared blankly at the air, and whispered, “I can’t sleep, I’m thinking about something…”

Xiao Wu also followed his example, holding his head in his hands, but instead of looking at the sky, he looked at him, “General, this time I’m going back to Ancheng with General, I miss my mother too… At that time, I was clamoring to go. In the army, my mother must be very worried.”

Shen Ci turned to look at him, and couldn’t help but smile, “Yo, I’ve grown up~”

Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed, “I just think, I can’t say it well…”

Shen Ci looked at him and said warmly, “When I return to Licheng this time, I will give you three months off.”

Xiao Wu grinned.

Shen Ci also laughed.

***

The next morning, Xiao Wu led the horse.

When Shen Ci met Shen in the garden, Shen Ying, Gu Shi said goodbye to Shan Hai.

“Second Uncle~” In front of Shanhai, Shen Ci leaned over and hugged Shanhai, saying goodbye to his family.

“Before the Son of Heaven, be cautious in your words and deeds, and next to you, Dad doesn’t have to tell you any more.” Shen Fengshi’s voice was full of reluctance, and when he said it, the father and son had already said it when they were together.

Shen Ci nodded, “My son knows, Dad, take care of your health and wait for me to come back to see you.”

Shen Fengshi nodded, the tip of his nose was slightly red, and he patted his shoulder again.

Shan Hai looked at Shen Ci, “Second Uncle, remember to bring Second Aunt next time~”

Gu sighed, “Shanhai~”

Shen Ci blushed, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’ll beat you.”

Shan Hai grinned.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you off.” Shen Ying stepped forward.

Shen Ci turned towards his father, “Father, take care of your health.”

Shen Fengshi nodded.

Shen Ying kept sending Shen’s remarks outside the city. Neither of them got on the horse. They just walked around the city with the horse, saying a lot of cherished words and talking about a lot of things at home.

If it wasn’t for Shen Ying’s mention, Shen Ci didn’t know that his father’s body was not good, but his spirit was good, and he also greeted Uncle He who didn’t say anything in front of him.

As Shen Ci listened, a heavy stone seemed to fall in his heart.

Also at the gate of the city, Shen Ying stopped, “Zi’an, I’ll take time to come back to see Dad more in the future, Dad misses you, I can take care of Dad more if I have time…”

Shen Ci was still in the mood just now and didn’t recover much, “I know, brother, don’t give it away.”

Before getting on the horse, Shen Ying hugged him, “Go.”

Shen Ci jumped on the horse, and Xiao Wu followed. Shen Ci looked back at him, and finally turned and rode away.

Seeing Shen Ci’s back gradually disappearing, Shen Ying’s eyes slowly sank.

——Shen Xingyun, your hands are dirty, do you still want to be alone?

——Chen Xian, you are so despicable…
