Chapter 32: The Heart Doesn't Move
The weight on the tail suddenly disappeared, and the wooden harrier already knew what was happening, and its huge body turned sharply, chasing over the heavy clouds and howling wind, towards the Yuan Dao Bridge.
For a moment, it felt that it had touched him, but it was blocked by two dragon head centipedes, and after all, it just skimmed against his body and did not catch him.
There was a loud "poof", as if something had exploded on the ground, and the wooden harrier shook, knowing that this time, as it had done several times before, it had finally lost the person who could give it a corner of warmth.
Yuan Daoqiao's body smashed on an empty flat ground, and the blood in his body spurted out first, blooming a bright red flower on the ground. His two eyes had turned gray, but the brilliance in them had not completely dissipated, and he looked at the huge shadow in the air that was slowly falling towards him, and thought much, many, many......
When did it start?
Oh yes, it's from that year. That year, Yongsheng's business fell into a trough, and the shop, which he had founded and operated all his life, was like his aging body, losing to the competition of his younger rivals, and its sales plummeted, and its income was less than half of that of previous years.
However, his son is not angry, and his daughter is still young, and no one comes to solve his problems, so he is becoming more and more haggard in his worries day after day.
The sky seemed to have no end to the world, and just as he was sitting in the city in the middle of his day, a fellow who had not been in contact with him for many years approached him and asked him if he would like to take over a very lucrative business.
Yuan Daoqiao was originally not going to pay attention to him, because he knew that this person was a cigarette dealer who was in the business of pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers. But after expelling the fellow from the door, the ghost sent the gods, and Yuan Daoqiao ran out to find him back.
At the end of the road, there are really not many choices he can make, and the bottom line of being a man is often broken in desperate situations.
Of course, he is still afraid, he is afraid of being discovered by the government, he is afraid that the head on his neck will be precarious, and he is afraid that his family will be affected. He wanted to quit several times, and he even thought that even if he was poor in the future, he would not want to live this life of walking on the tip of a knife again.
But just when he was in a panic, Yuan Daoqiao found an ancient tomb, an ancient tomb hidden deep in the forest, which seemed to have been bathed in wind, frost, rain and snow for hundreds of years.
What happened next seemed to be a logical thing, he rescued the Wood Harrier, and the Wood Harrier fulfilled his ambition in his own way.
First of all, of course, he had it kill the fellow who had brought him into the trade, and he told it that it was a secret between the two of them, a secret between the two of them, and that if it found that anyone but him wanted to spy on it, it would kill him without mercy.
What he didn't expect was that it was precisely this sentence that killed his own daughter.
He didn't blame Wei'er for her death, but in the days that followed, he often thought that if he hadn't asked him to wait outside the hospital that day, maybe Wei'er wouldn't have died.
The pain of losing his daughter did not make Yuan Daoqiao depressed for a few days, but after that, a film was plated on him, and from then on, he was isolated from the love and hatred of the world, and he felt that his soul was brutally cleansed by pain, and from then on, there would be no more pain.
In order to avoid the suspicion of others, he personally went to the government to report the case, and even looked around for a warlock who could summon souls, because he believed that Wei'er would never come back, just like the dozens of lives that died at the hands of the wooden harrier in the past few years.
But this time, he made a mistake.
After Yuan Wei's skin drifted in the sky for nearly a month, he returned to Lucheng again, was he unwilling? Is there something you still have nostalgia for? He didn't know, but the skin had been discovered by the least likely to find her.
Zhao Zimai, this young but unpredictable young official, he is from the capital, and it seems that he is coming for himself.
Zhao Zimai was suspicious of this matter, and even sent someone to keep an eye on the Yuan Mansion, trying to find out the secret he had painstakingly kept.
But even so, he didn't have to worry too much, he only needed to lie dormant for a while, and when that person looked away and left Lu City, he could return to his old business.
However, he didn't expect that his secret would be discovered by another person, someone he had never taken to heart.
During the time when Yuan Changli was pretending to be sick, he began to show his strength in Yongsheng, and he carefully looked at the account book, which was vague. Over the years, Yuan Daoqiao has earned money that he can't spend in several lifetimes, and he no longer has to rely on Yongsheng to eat. But Yongsheng must continue to operate, because it is his disguise, his tool to hide people's eyes. So he took out silver one after another to fill the loopholes of Yongsheng's poor management, but he didn't expect that these loopholes would one day be discovered by his unsuccessful son.
Of course he is not afraid of Yuan Changli, he knows that with Yuan Changli's qualifications, he is destined to be pinched in the palm of his hand in this life. However, he came up with another plan, he wanted to use Yuan Changli to eradicate the hidden danger.
Sooner or later, the Harrier's nest will be discovered, so he might as well come up with a plan.
That night, he poisoned his own son and secretly transported his body to the tomb and placed it in a secret room hidden in a tree pit. Then, he picked a small guy with a similar figure to Yuan Changli, and asked him to go to the ancient tomb according to his instructions, and let him hide in the secret room when he got there, and let him sneak back when the people from the official palace entered the tomb.
Of course, the little guy who had learned his secret did not come back alive, and the wooden harrier was already waiting for him on his way back.
After such a careful arrangement, he naturally pushed everything on Yuan Changli, he lost his son, and also lost a few boxes of Fushou ointment and silver, but what are these? As soon as this case is concluded, when Zhao Zimai leaves, he can start his career again and expand his territory. With the Wood Harrier, he is the invisible king of this large land, countless people's net worth and lives are in his hands, and he has wealth that ordinary people cannot match, so even if he loses his children, he has never regretted it.
It's just that he can't calculate anything, everything he has is folded in the hands of a little girl.
"You ......" Yuan Daoqiao looked at the wooden harrier that slowly landed beside him, looking at its eyes that were still spraying bright red hot liquid outward, his lips trembled a few times, and the light in his eyes finally disappeared.
He was gone, taking with him the unspoken words, but the Harrier knew what he was going to say.
It remembered that after Yuan Wei died, he sat next to the tomb door, stared at the boxes of Fushou paste that had just been shipped, and said to it: "Many people spend a lot of money to buy it just to relieve their own pain. But I never touched it, even now, do you know why? ”
It waited for him, for him to finish speaking.
"If your heart doesn't move, it doesn't hurt." He sneered, and said, "The wooden harrier has no heart in the first place, how good." ”
It looked at Yuan Daoqiao, and with a slight wave of its wings, closed his eyes.
