Chapter 381
β...... Thanks a lot. Gu Hongyuan's thanks were difficult, but he felt that he really owed Yan Sheng's words.
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't dislike him, she touched his head, he was a good boy.
Thinking of the past, Chu Huan felt sour in his heart, and silently raised his head and looked at the boundless moonlight.
At this time, Cui Shenbi also finished the song and was also quietly looking at the moon. She was thinking about her illness, thinking about the prophecy that she would not live to be twenty.
After a while, she went back with the piano in her arms.
From beginning to end, she didn't know that under the same moonlight, somebody across the door heard this song. It's just that their thoughts and feelings are not the same. Yan Sheng couldn't adapt well to the loss of his eyes, Xiao Meng wanted to help Yan Sheng go to the city tower, but Yan Sheng refused. I saw Yan Sheng holding the bamboo cane left by Ze Gongzi in his hand, and slowly followed behind them.
Listening to the sound of the bamboo cane clicking on the ground, Xiao Meng felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and persuaded her again at a very high temperature, but saw the captain of the guard walking in front suddenly turned around and shook his head at her gently. Xiao Meng closed his mouth, and only slowed down with the captain of the guard, matching the speed of the geese.
She finally understood that the arrogance of the dog demon was in the same vein
On the city wall, Xiao Meng looked down, but only saw a piece of black oppression. After a few words of instruction from Yan Sheng and a few guards, he stood beside her and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Xiao Meng tried to adjust the five senses to the extreme, and after watching and listening for a long time, he was silent.
"What do you see?" asked Yan Sheng.
Xiao Meng said with some difficulty: "There are people, there are demons, there are old people, there are children...... They were all on the run, hiding from the monsters...... I heard that many of them were starving to death on the road, and I saw that many of them seemed to have not eaten for a long, long time...... They want to go into the city......"
These people are scrawny and embarrassed. It was not easy to leave their homeland, they were displaced, they crossed mountains, waded rivers, crossed deserts, fought beasts, encountered rogues, and encountered epidemics. Food is limited, but the road seems to have no end. For almost no city lord was willing to accept them, even if there was a city lord who was willing to give them a little food like a beggar, which was already a great mercy. More often than not, they are faced with an expelled army.
They were noisily begging the geese to open the city gates, but there was no hope in their eyes, and only numbness remained.
Life is like a mustard. This word suddenly popped up in Xiao Meng's heart.
When the suffering of the world appeared in front of her so nakedly and undisguisedly, Xiao Meng's heart suddenly filled with a great sadness. This sadness was unlike any of her previous emotions, not fiery, but bitter and unstoppable.
She thought she might have to do something.
At this time, the wild goose nodded: "The monsters occupy many places in the east and north, and the survivors and those who are afraid of the monsters go west and south. There had been sporadic refugees entering the city before, but this time there were probably several groups of refugees in one place, and there were more people. β
Xiao Meng suddenly thought of Iyenami, who persuaded the demon god to die, and the sound of the wild goose took her to see these, why is the temperature very high?
But she still didn't ask, she felt that it was too despicable to speculate on the sound of geese like this.
Yan Sheng seemed to understand her thoughts, and said, "If I think you deserve to die, I won't save you in the first place." β
After a pause, he added: "It's just that there are many people crying in this world, and you should still listen." β
Xiao Meng was stunned.
She had only seen personal grievances before, but she never thought that there would be weeping for all people. Where she could see, there were already so many people suffering, but what about the places she couldn't see? There were also the white bones that didn't make it here, the onmyoji who didn't even have their bones left, and even those who were innocently assimilated into monsters......
She finally understood how cruel the sentence "to be the beauty of one person, to destroy the wishes of everyone".
The pain of one person, even if it hurts the heart, can it really be compared with the people of this world?
There are so many people crying in this world, and it seems that she is nothing to spare her tears.
At this time, one of the leaders of the refugees observed the sound of geese for a long time, suddenly walked to a high place, raised his arms and shouted: "No city lord will let us into the city! If we want to live, we have to rely on ourselves! You see, this city lord is a blind man, as long as we kill him, this city will be ours!"
The leader seemed to be a half-demon, but he was clearly very prestigious among the refugees, and as soon as this statement came out, he was crowded.
The captain of the guard hurriedly protected the sound of the wild goose behind him, but the sound of the wild goose pushed him away, and instead walked to the edge of the city tower and coldly "looked" at the leader.
If the "gaze" of the wild goose sound is substantial, the leader feels cold for no reason, but the public rao responds to give him a strong phosphorus. I saw a low roar, flashed his claws, and flew away towards the sound of geese!
The sound of geese was about to make a move, but his ears suddenly caught a sharp sound of breaking the air, which did not belong to the leader.
So he didn't move, and then he heard the refugees below scream in unison, and then the sound of something rolling to his feet.
Finally, the sound of a man falling from mid-air on the castle tower.
He finally affirmed, turned around, looked at the man, paused, and still said hello: "Gu Hongyuan." β
Gu Hongyuan withdrew the light whip on his fingertips, glanced at the half-demon head at Yan Sheng's feet, and almost blurted out sarcastic words.
But he stopped. His gaze swept over the eyes of the wild goose, his lips moved, but what he said was, "You go back." After a pause, he added, "I'll keep watch for you." β
The sound of geese turned around and "looked" at the refugees crowded below. The leader was killed by Gu Hongyuan's blow, and their restlessness was suppressed, and the cries of those old and weak women and children became even more obvious.
This reminded him of the palace maid back then.
No, the sound must have been of his imagination. He secretly said, after escaping for so long, where is the strength to cry?
So Yan Sheng said to Gu Hongyuan: "These are just a rabble, as long as anyone can't hold on, they will eventually disperse." β
"But I only need one word to let them in. "But they are not necessarily mobs, but they are not necessarily good peopleβthey are just living people." If I let them into the city because of this thought, I can't guarantee how much it will affect the people of Rinsha if I don't provide for these people, and I can't guarantee that they will be safe with the people of Rinsha. β
"Moreover, if I have saved them today, what about those who will come tomorrow and the day after?
"Gu Hongyuan, if it were you, what would you do?"
Gu Hongyuan glanced down, looked at the sound of the goose again, thought about it, but his hand unconsciously touched the raw teeth on his waist. Eventually, he simply said, "This is your city." β
