69. Copying and beheading
Wu Tingyuan slowly opened his eyes.
The breeze blows, and the yellow leaves drift away.
A large tree with lush branches suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
He closed his eyes and opened them again.
The scene in front of me couldn't be clearer.
It's a big tree!
Shen Shu's words, unexpectedly, really came true!
His eyes were full of shock.
He abruptly got up. In the air, there is a strong fishy atmosphere.
He looked around.
In my heart, I was even more shocked.
The surrounding ground, layered on top of each other, was full of bird corpses, and the various deaths were so tragic that they could not be expressed.
Gray, brown, green, blue bird carcasses lay quietly in the grass under the trees.
In the early morning, there was no bird singing, but a terrible silence......
On Wu Tingyuan's forehead, a slight sweat broke out.
Exactly, what happened?
He looked down and saw his sword lying on the ground, which was already red.
It's really all, he killed?
Suddenly a feeling of sorrow swelled up in his heart, and this sorrow filled his heart, and he only felt that his heart was gradually expanding, expanding, and expanding to the limit, as if it was about to explode.
At this moment, his eyes saw the corpse of a green-feathered barefoot parrot, its eyes wide open, its body firmly inserted by a golden dart, and it was already dying. Not far from its corpse, an originally delicate birdcage was smashed to pieces, lying on top of the blood.
How so! How so!
Parrot, how did you end up here?
How could he kill the parrot with his own hands!
Wu Tingyuan's heart was turbulent, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Ah—he yelled into the sky.
It seems to be to bring this pain to naught in the long howl.
But why? This pain is still with us, and it can't be stopped?
……
This parrot is Wu Tingyuan's father's.
Wu Tingyuan's father, who was already a fifth-grade official back then, was originally a prosperous career, but suddenly because he was involved in a major case, he was beheaded all over the house.
If you want to talk about the case back then, there were countless officials involved. Those who were caught up in it can only be said to be unlucky. And those who were not swept up in it, looking at this bloody storm, did not dare to call it lucky.
The tragedy of that year is really indescribable.
Besides, more than 30 people in this Wufu were killed cleanly, but only Wu Tingyuan was missing.
Wu Tingyuan has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he was sent outside to practice martial arts at a very young age, and he only came back once every two years. Even people who are familiar with his family don't know that there is such a son in the Wu family. Maybe that's why he was left out of the list.
Although he didn't grow up in the house, every year when his parents were free, they would go to see him, and sometimes he would take his sister Yuncan with him. Therefore, his relationship with his parents and sister is very deep.
After learning that his home had been raided, he rushed back like crazy regardless of the danger. When they arrived, they saw only the sealed door. He entered the Wufu in the dark, but he couldn't find the body.
Could it be that the corpses in the house have been cleaned up? He can't see this last side?
