Chapter 21 Righteousness
"Uncle Zhang, you take someone to explore again, and as soon as there is news from the yamen...... it will come back immediately" The uneasiness in Su Wanmiao's heart became more and more intense, and her heart was beating extremely fast.
The death of the master of the Liu family must be a huge blow to the Liu family, and the Su family may also take the opportunity to take some advantage. But the lurking crisis is also obvious.
Who's doing it? Will the other party make another move?
No one in the remaining two dares to say that they are 100% better than the Liu family, especially in terms of security.
Even the lord of the Liu family, who is now thriving, can suddenly die violently, and the remaining people are naturally in danger and uneasy.
**********
Du Bai was woken up by Ying'er, who was desperately banging on the door early in the morning.
Although the other body is equivalent to a deep sleep during the transformation of consciousness, it is inevitable that there will be some mental fatigue, so he is rarely a little lazy and wants to take a break, but the little girl does not give him this opportunity.
When he yawned and opened the door gently, Ying'er outside the door was relieved to see that he was still with his limbs intact and did not look like he was in trouble, and then he seemed to be uneasy and admonished: "Uncle, you must not go out at will in the past two days, Miss said that we will leave for the ancestral house tomorrow......"
"Wait, what's wrong?"
Du Bai asked the little girl to put on his clothes for him as usual, and asked suspiciously.
"Leaving tomorrow? Didn't the lady say that she would have to deal with the business in a few days? ”
"It's too late." Ying'er's hand moved slightly, and then pretended to be mysterious and said, "Something happened to the Liu family, and the eldest master of the Liu family died!" And when she heard that she had died a miserable death, Ying'er didn't dare to inquire in more detail......"
"Oh?"
Du Bai looked at himself in the mirror, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Who did it?"
Ying'er shook her head slightly: "It's not clear." The people in the government said that it was a group of wandering bandits who had lost their minds and did it, and it seemed that they wanted to kidnap and extort money. But no one has caught it yet, but a notice has been posted on the city wall to tell everyone to be careful......"
"Be careful......
Du Bai's eyes condensed slightly, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.
The Yamen's claims may not be credible. Judging from what he saw and heard a few days ago when he went to Liu's house with a wandering spirit, the Liu family's nursing home is nearly twice as large as the Su family's, and he is also strong and practicing martial arts, how can a gang of roving bandits easily break in and retreat?!
Speaking of some possibilities, he was connected to the evil way that manipulated the female ghost behind the scenes.
"Maybe it has something to do with that person."
He made a move that night, and he could feel that the other party's injuries were quite serious, although he didn't die, it wasn't much better, and it was hard to say if he would go crazy because of the backlash.
If that's the case, then he'd have to be careful.
After all, the other party was attacking the Su family at that time, and he was also one of the targets. Now if the other party is crazy, it's hard to say whether he will worry about the Su family.
It's not a small possibility!
"There is a lot of discussion in this city now, and they all say that the Liu family's affairs are not because of bandits, but because they were traitors and criminals who angered the gods, and they were condemned." Ying'er continued to whisper, "But we don't have much to say about these things, but the city is in chaos now, and the Liu family is like a crazy wild dog sending people everywhere to find clues about the murderer, it's hard to say if the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry and bite our Su family." Several shopkeepers persuaded the eldest lady to return to her hometown as soon as possible to avoid the limelight, at least when the Liu family stabilized. ”
Du Bai nodded slightly, and also understood the worries of Su Wanmiao and the others.
The huge Liu family is now in a state of leaderlessness, and suddenly Liu Jingtai did not make a will before his death to let anyone inherit the family business. If it weren't for the old man of the Liu family, I'm afraid the entire Liu family would have turned into a mess of scattered sand.
It's not good to have a lot of blood in the family.
Du Bai thought in his heart.
Sure enough, the Su family is still suitable for him, and there are only two women in total, so he doesn't have to deal with those bullshit relatives.
And he has no ambitions, as long as he enjoys the life of being raised by the little white face.
Ying'er didn't stay long before leaving after taking care of him, Su Wanmiao's side needed a lot of help to sort out the things back to his hometown, but he was a big man who was asked to stay in the room and not come out because of his frailty.
But if he didn't go out, he went to his desk, slowly opened a piece of rice paper that was covered on it, and several vigorous and powerful characters appeared in front of him.
"Haoran righteousness".
In his previous life, when he was on earth, he studied calligraphy for a period of time, although it was certainly not as good as some celebrities, but it was still possible to follow the rules and be pleasing to the eye. When I was studying, I didn't expect to be able to help myself at this time.
But despite this, it still did not satisfy him.
No matter how beautiful the handwriting is, no matter how many orthography he writes, he can't feel the slightest righteousness from it.
Ink is still ink, brushes are still brushes, rice paper is still rice paper, at most the price is different, where to see the mountain is not the mountain and the water is not water. As a layman, instead of letting him sense the so-called Xuanzhi and Xuanzhi righteousness, it is better for him to calculate how much silver he has wasted.
"Hmm......"
Du Bai pinched his chin, frowned, looked at the white paper that had been relaid and fell into deep thought, and never lifted his pen.
"Be upright...... What does it feel like......
It was much harder to feel the so-called feeling than to actually swing the sword, so hard that he didn't know where to start.
More than two days had passed since he got the clue from the beech spirit, and he had almost no time to write, and the words were getting better and better, but he still had no clue.
But at this moment, a picture suddenly flashed in my mind, which was the scene of the young man I saw in the sky above Liu's Mansion that night when he was studying.
It seems to be out of the mud and not stained, not polluted by the surrounding environment, and like the only light in the night, although small but still tenacious.
Du Bai slowly closed his eyes and savored it, and seemed to have some understanding in his heart, but he couldn't grasp the point.
"Light and Darkness...... Good and Evil......"
He murmured softly, his eyes slowly opened, he did not hesitate to lift the brush, and after lightly dipping the ink, he quickly put down the pen with confidence, his expression was calm, his cuffs were lightly pulled, every stroke was extremely serious, a pair of slightly shiny eyes seemed to have no room for other things, and the black pupils reflected only the ink that gradually seeped into the paper.
For a long time, the breeze outside the window was light, the catkins were flying, and a drop of sweat ran down the corner of his forehead on the paper, but the slight sound of "popping" suddenly woke up Du Bai, who was immersed in his own world.
His gaze quickly returned to normal, and only then did he realize that his physical strength had been almost exhausted, and unlike the weakness of the ghost runes that had been drained of all his bones, this time it was like the sore muscles of his body after running for three thousand meters in school.
Du Bai took a deep breath to keep his vision from blurring, looked down at the paper slightly, and saw a big word that jumped on the paper: "Sheng"!
"The border between life and death is me......"
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, and suddenly there was a feeling of pleasure in his heart that he had broken through the cage that had trapped him for a long time and regained his freedom.
